headcanoning that Sebastian did inherit Jocelyn's curly hair but he just straightens it constantly. like he brought his hair straightener to hell & everything

#his hair is COOKED the entire series between that & removing the black box dye #it's visibly crispy & Clary never comments on it because she's so busy trying to not die #this is stupid but very 17 year old 😌 #his to do list is just 1) destroy the world 2) find a power outlet #bella talks #tsc #the shadowhunter chronicles #the mortal instruments #tmi #sebastian morgenstern #jonathan morgenstern

Arcade had a strong emo phase as a teenager and if you bring it up he'll bury his head in the sand like an ostrich, pass it on

#fallout new vegas #fnv #arcade gannon #this man tried like fifteen times to box dye his hair black #his biochemistry Would Not Fucking Take The Dye so it just looked green every time #it still pissed Moreno off though which was half the goal to him

why the deep sigh before saying you’re a natural redhead lol

Several reasons!

For context this is in response to my answer in the "rb in the tags what would be the physical feature used to identify you in fanfiction of you if you were a fictional character" post a few days ago and the TL;DR is the redheads get stereotyped in specific ways I hate.

Large ass rant below (hey you asked lol)

For a lot of people, redheaded women are a fetish. ( When I was younger, I had people date me who later stated they just wanted to cross off dating a redhead, they didn't actually want a relationship, and my personal favorite, that they would never date someone who "wasn't skinny" but made an exception bc I'm a redhead. I've been offered a LOT of sex and a LOT of threesomes, because I'm a bucket list item and they will say so, to my face, in person. Like many things in life, there's a line between a preference or appreciation or even a "type" --and a fetish. The later being an issue because you're no longer seen as a person but an object, and people will make that creepily, disgustingly clear.

2. It's a stereotyped personality. Redhead's are crazy/hot tempered/insane (see: that one dude from Fruits Basket and I cant even pick a female character theres so fucking many) crazy in bed (one example among hundreds is We're the Millers "Eh she's a redhead there's a 50/50 chance she'd be into it") Soulless (I actually used that one to get through High School by insisting I was collecting souls to pay for my fire-lake front mansion, shouts out to South Park lmao), and many more. The redheaded step-child, the vixen, the other women, etc.

I have had my hair color come up in job interviews, with teachers, with coaches or trainers and even in situations as a kid where I was essentially asked "Hello kid I just met, you're a redhead, are you going to behave for me?" Related, my parents got a LOT of praise because I was quiet. Throughout my life the most common "praise" I have received is that I am "not a typical redhead" bc I am "calm."

You still see a lot of this bleed into fanfiction, but you used to REALLY see it bleed into fanfiction lol.

Addendum to both points above--the fetish, hot, good in bed thing typically only applies to conventionally attractive women.

Redheaded men are "ugly", and if you don't fit into the current but ever changing Socially Acceptable Hot Chick Look, then you're in for it. This includes weight, skin color/tone, freckles, type of hair, fuckin' eye color sometimes, the list goes on.

I vaguely recall someone who was doing a media study about how the male "problem child" in media is typically portrayed as a redhead. off the top of my head, the kid from Malcom in the Middle and the kid from the magic school bus.)

And that's just the cis shit.

3. People in general get weird about my hair. A lot of strangers enjoy touching it without asking, or otherwise felt ownership over it if I had parts of it dyed, etc. I legitimately had people get super upset the time I dyed it black. Hell I had STRANGERS get upset. People I never met in my life who were making small talk in the check out line, absolutely FURIOUS with me about dying it black, because they asked me what my natural hair color was and I answered honestly.

4. If you're over the age of, ehhhh, 25? 27? You probably remember the age of fanfic where we described EVERYONE by their hair color lmao. Redhead was right up there with bluenette. It was painful and that post reminded me of it.

#Id honestly dye my hair black again #except my hair grows out insanely fast #and requires specific types of dye or some shit #at home box dyes are #sadly #a waste and believe me I have tried #anyway #I have to go to a professional and while I believe in paying my people that shit is EXPENSIVE to do every single month #and my ass pretty much picked doing other things in terms of hobbies and apperance #Ghosts long ass rant about redheads #feel free to chime in if you are one #I could talk for hours about the gross shit people of all genders have said to me #but esp men #up to and including the guy who asked me what made me different from any other redhead #like homie we're not pokemon

Getting the urge to dye my hair again lads 👀

#ignore me while I ramble #I initially wanted to shove a box of black dye on and call it a say because my hair’s already so dark #but now I’m getting the urge to try and strip it right back and bleach it platinum blonde #don’t know how well that would work for me tbh #my hair does something knew every time I bleach it #a few times it has gone WHITE and that was with dark colours #another time it went green. and teal. and silver #and pink #so uhhh #there’s a very random chance of something going wrong if I try to bleach it again #I say black dye but it would actually be a very very dark blue btw

[malscare]

#if anyone has experience with kao liese hair dye over black box dye pls let me know lol.

[rivertigo]

#no way will I ever lose most alternative person at the gas station #I lost once to an old dude with black box dye goth hair. black skinny jeans. and a ramones shirt #and I could tell he was serious about it cuz he was an old timer

[an-absolute-trainwreck]

I’m bleaching my Whole Entire Head

#yeah yk how my pfp has red hair #that’s not the reality rn that’s the goal #it was. black box dye. before. #I used some color remover last night that got me to a sort of uneven ginger color and now I’m bleaching it #so that ideally it will be one evenish light tone that I can put manic panic vampire red over and become crowley-core

[yknowholic]

I got my hair done at a salon for the first time last week and I don’t hate it?? !!!

#this is sure as hell better than the jet black box dye I have been throwing on my roots for years #my nose looks huge here but my nose is also just huge #me #featuring 2017 queens hoodie that I have stolen from my bf #my skin pulls so yellow so it’s nice to have WARM HAIR and not just look like great value Shelley Duvall #my bf got me a gift card for a salon one of his coworkers goes to bc I don’t do nice things for myself ow my heart

[giyuulatte]

i’ve been wanting to cut my hair and go natural for MONTHS now bc i feel like it’s a journey i need to go on to get more in touch with myself

but i’m deadass so scared bc i haven’t been natural in years and i have thick 4c hair

but i feel like this a an important part of me fully becoming myself like what to do

#the urge is getting stronger by the day #i’ve truly been thinking about it since the summer #but the urge is so strong rn bc of a dream i had #i was bald and had small dark blue/black afro that i dyed with box dye from walmart #and i was so happy #absoutely beaming like the sun had nothing on me in that dream #blktumblr #black tumblr #black girl tumblr #black girls of tumblr #natural hair #4c hair #natural hair journey

Scary Marlowe is a natural blonde TO ME

#It’s like #do we understand my vision #Black box dye with one pink streak #My friend is considering dyeing a streak of their dyed black hair pink #For scary #dndads #dungeons and daddies

[doebt]

BTW ive been dying my hair black for well years now which is crazy to realize. but its true. but im letting it grow out some right now and i keep thinking ill dye it again but i keep letting it grow out. I mean it DOESNT look good. but its a metaphor to me. I guess ill split dye it when it becomes too much to stomach

#like I have a box of black dye in my bathroom rn but i just keep letting it go #my natural hair is lighter than it used to be #my great aunt had red hair as a younger person but it became blonde as she got older so maybe that #is happening to me too #It used to be copper penny red but now its i guess strawberry blonde more like #but it was like that when i was a teenager too. #So weird... it definitely looks bad rn but i think in the sunlight it looks nice

[yugiohz]

RED HAIR????

#His hair grayed prematurely at the age of like 5 due to stress and neglect #which is why it’s white now #the black is just cheap box dye #asks
