Came across this in a fic again and I have to vent for a moment here: Ed's hair isn't unclean or not taken care of. Ever. Even at his lowest, in the first two episodes of season two, his hair is light and blows with the wind, it's got perfect waves, there is zero grime in it. Impossible Birds Ed hair has clearly been fairly recently washed, combed out and conditioned. Ed canonically loves soap, and you don't get that hair without owning a comb or brush and frequently working oil into it. He's at sea! The air is salty! It'll dry out your hair, but Ed's hair doesn't ever look dried out. The day he decides to commit suicide he puts his hair up into a lovely bun, with whispy stands framing his face. I have no idea what some people are watching, because Ed taking meticulous care (and most likely also putting pride and love) into his hair is clear, on-screen canon.
Like, if you want to write about how he was neglecting himself in his depression Kraken era? There's plenty there for you on screen as well! He sobs all night, probably sleeps on the floor if he sleeps at all. He doesn't wear his knee brace. He drinks and does drugs (and admits to that being poison to Frenchie!). He's pushing everyone away, he's pushing himself hard into a role that made him passively suicidal even before the breakup depression. He doesn't watch his back during raids At All. There's so much self harm there to address. If you want to, it would probably be plausible to add him not bothering to properly care for any wounds he might obtain during a raid. But he clearly doesn't neglect bathing and hair care. They're probably the only elements of self-care he actually still does during this dark time!
Even rock bottom Ed doesn't neglect his hair. And that says things about him! It's also something I'd love to see actually addressed in fic (will probably write it myself one of these days...): Taking good care of his hair, putting on jewelry, doing his makeup, these are things that seem to bring Ed joy or relief in his darkest moments. Where's my fic about these quiet moments of self-care being a straw he clutches to when everything else is terrible?
I love a good bathing together/doing each other's hair fic. It's intimate and loving! And Stede and Ed are prime material to write a mutual caretaking and bonding over it couple! Ed canonically loves soap and taking care of his hair! And Stede brought an entire fucking bathtub on a ship, the wonderful madman. S1 Stede's hair is always carefully curled, and we know that's not its natural state (it's wavy but not in this manner) from seeing him in S2, away from his certainly plentiful bath and grooming equipment. Stede probably has an hour of daily hair routine! We know he has nice smelling, probably expensive soaps. Where's the fic where they share in this?
There's so much potential! They can show each other their favourite care products! Sometimes they'll work on each other and sometimes not at all! Ed's rich hair oils will make Stede's hair all sticky and weird! Ed will think it's hilarious and adorable, he'll try to ruffle his hair and make it stick up worse and Stede will pout! 🥺 He'll look like this, just with weird spiky hair! One ill-advised day they try putting Stede's curlers in Ed's hair and then they almost can't get them back out because Ed's hair is so long and has lots of natural wave and it'll cling to the curlers and it's awful (they laugh about it afterwards, once Ed has very carefully brushed his hair out again and it no longer pulls at his scalp).
Makeup was a thing done by men and women at the time, especially for aristocrats (as seen in Episode 5), so Stede will know his way around hoity toity makeup, meaning rouges and whites (contained lots of lead, yuck!). Meanwhile Ed does pirate costume makeup for Blackbeard endeavours, that's a whole different thing. And both of these are makeups they don't actually enjoy doing (Stede avoids heavy makeup for the party, and Ed's Kraken makeup is part of his whole Everything Is Awful And I'm Making Myself Feel That look). But we see Ed do nice makeup that seems to be him! On his supposed to be final day on Earth, he cleans away all the Kraken coal, he cleans up his cabin, he gets rid of drugs, booze, Izzy (everything that was harming him), he does up his hair really nice and in a style that's very much Not Blackbeard, and he puts on a gorgeous bit of eyeliner that really brings out his eyes. And now that they're safe and happy together, when Ed decides he wants to look pretty today, not only can Stede lose his marbles over the look, Ed can also show him how to make his own eyes pop like that. They can stand in front of their mirror together, giggling and trying not to poke anyone in the eye.
Like. This is a fancy bathroom items for fancy bathroom items couple. They will bond over their love of bubble baths and nice smelling soaps and soft oils for hair and skin! They will learn each other's routines and how to do them just right for them. Let Stede learn that Ed loves his baths scalding hot (Stede has to wait a while for it to cool before he joins him in the tub because he'll get all pink and lightheaded). Let Ed learn how to put in Stede's curlers for him if Stede wants his hair to look extra fluffy the next day. Let Ed learn to massage Stede's back and Stede learn to massage Ed's knee. There's so much potential for loving caretaking with this ship. The trope doesn't at all require Ed to not know or not want to take care of his hair and hygiene. Fuck's sake.

***these images + the artwork are not my own!! these creators are unbelievably talented! and I will link everyone below! characters owned by Sarah J. Maas ***
Spymaster of the Night Court
💠
Azriel, Shadowsinger 💠 "crawl inside this body - find me where i am most ruined, love me there" 💠 rune lazuli
💠
he is such a beautiful, tender-hearted man
and honestly, i hope that whatever outcome we encounter in the upcoming acotar book, az gets his happy ending
that's all i want!! that's all any of us want!!!
let the man find his joy, he deserves it!!!
Tumblr media
i love az and his quiet sense of humor and BIG brain (bigger wingspan). he's the type to linger in the background, but his presence is most definitely felt. he's the best listener and is so goddamn attentive with you, nothing would go unnoticed
and
you just know you're never getting away with anything:
you're upset? az is already fluffing the couch and fetching you tea. rubbing your shoulders and gently asking if you want to talk about it. he is so sweetheart.
you're hungry? he's in the kitchen whipping up a meal that will send you into edible bliss
you're starting to tire after an exhausting morning of moving your body and staring at shirtless illyrians? az is sweeping you off your feet and flying you home
bye
i want that reality so bad LOL
Tumblr media
and here's (maybe) a controversial opinion (and some context):
I don't really care who Azriel ends up with in the next ACOTAR book
🤡
hear me out:
i am a slut for the mate-trope! i love it. the "thread" of attachment, the push and pull, the resistance to it at first. the unbelievable wholesomeness of the relationship afterwards. mates. mates. matey, mate, mate, mates. love it. here for it. 😌 AND FOR THIS REASON, primarily... i am a gwynriel and elucien stan
now, there are other reasons, too, that i stan these couples, but i really gravitate towards the fact that...
when gwyn is around, azriel's shadows come out and take a real interest in her. azriel is his shadows. they might be sentient, but they are whole, together. and when elain is around, his shadows "go into hiding" - i think their comfortability around gwyn means something
BUT
AND HEAR ME OUT.
i think azriel's story is SO fucking interesting. his role in the book can (and literally has with hofas) open so many doors.
maybe elain does have a second mate somehow? maybe elain and lucien aren't really mates and there was some malicious power behind it all, like maeve and rowan.
OR
maybe sjm takes it a different direction and we get to watch azriel walk through the same self-love journey that nesta experienced in acosf. AND MAYBE at the end of this, him and gwyn get a shot.
my heart pulls to THIS. because sjm has been all about accepting and growing into self first before true, real love can occur.
Exhibit A: feyre hating herself post utm/tamlin and having to recognize her own power before she allows herself that bond with rhys Exhibit B: nesta hating herself and everyone else until she forces herself to walk the road back to finding herself, and in doing so, finds her strength. and her friends. and her mate. Exhibit C: ...
IDK.
i dont know!
and honestly im just here for the ride! for the journey! ✨😊🌈💘
Tumblr media
JUST LET AZRIEL BE HAPPY.
GET HIM OUT OF THE DARK AND INTO THE LIGHT!!
GIVE HIM SOME JOY!!!
GIVE HIM LOVE THAT ISN'T HARD!!!! OR TRIED!!!!
he deserves the best <3

yk what, man? I want justice for Nihachu. The dsmp fandom and mcyttwt treated her horribly, especially when she started distancing herself from W*lbur and accused the dsmp writing team (headed by him) of pushing her out. She's undergone so much abuse in her life and there is no way her relationship with W*lbur, whatever it was like, was healthy. She deserves so much love and support.

One of the more entertaining consequences of broadcast standards for children's media during the 1980s is that villains weren't allowed to express or directly imply the desire or intent to kill the protagonist, but they were allowed to openly state their intention to eat the protagonist – provided that at least one of the hero or the villain were non-human.
(i.e., human villain expressing the desire to eat a non-human protagonist: okay; unambiguously monstrous villain expressing the desire to eat a human protagonist: okay; human villain expressing the desire to eat a human protagonist: not okay.)
This often led to interesting characterisation choices, like Shredder's strange preoccupation with making the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles into soup in the 1987 series – he's not allowed to threaten to kill them, but he can freely threaten to eat them!
