How to take your wig from gross to great!

This isn’t a new method at all, but instead my results using this tutorial.

While the before shot is pretty terrible photo quality to begin with, you can see the wig is basically a ratty, gross-looking mess.

Find a tank or bucket and empty a capful of fabric softener into it (more softener if your wig is longer).

Add enough water to submerge the wig, and make sure to flip it inside out before you put it in the water. Swish it around to make sure it’s saturated, and then let it soak for a few days. I left mine is for a little over two days, but I would suggest leaving it in closer for the five days the original tutorial suggests.

Lay the wig out on a towel to dry. I didn’t wash out the fabric softener, and when it was damp instead of dripping, I put it on a wig stand.

After it’s completely dry, brush through it with a wig brush, or at least a brush with wire teeth. Plastic teeth will create static and no one wants that.

If you need a wig brush, try checking out beauty stores. Failing that, you can usually find wire brushes at pet stores, and they work as well as any wig brush.

Spray lightly with dry shampoo or sprinkle with talcum powder. Brush your wig again after a few minutes to help disperse the powder and keep your wig from looking chalky. You may experience a small amount of shedding during the brushing process, but it shouldn’t be anything too severe.

And there you have it!

ROLEPLAYING RELATIONSHIPS 

No one ship is exactly the same. Each couple tends to come with their own quirks, their own traditions, their own struggles.

I’ve recently dug up an interesting article that categorizes relationships into 10 different kinds.

Survival relationships 

Validation relationships 

Scripted relationships 

Acceptance relationships

Individuation-Assertion relationships 

Healing relationships 

Experimental relationships 

Transitional relationships

Avoidance relationships

Pastime relationships  

If you’re interested in using these to help you roleplay a relationship that seems in at least some way, realistic, continue reading. 

Survival relationships: 

This is made up of people who don’t feel as if they can survive on their own. 

They feel as if they have to have someone be anything. In some cases it may literally be a case of survival.

Think someone who provides shelter, food, job, money etc. It’s important to note that these two are codependent. 

The relationship is often hostile and sometimes abusive. 

Feelings of insecurity tend to run rampant! 

Validation relationships: 

People in these relationships are those who seek validation of their physical attractiveness, intellect, social status, sexuality, wealth, or some other attribute.  

Teenagers and young adults who are looking for a sense of identity form relationships based on sexual validation.

The relationship tends to be a little insecure and need constant validation. 

“Do you really love me?” 

Scripted relationships: 

Seems to be the most perfect of relationships and everyone around them sees it as a great relationship.

The partners are the most perfect boyfriend or the most perfect girlfriend.

There are often power struggles in this type of relationship.

Sexual attraction or involvement if often lacking.

The partners are often stuck in routines. 

Acceptance relationships 

A trusting, supporting and enjoyable relationship. 

A very healthy and happy relationship. 

Individuation-Assertion relationships 

Both individuals know what the others wants and needs are.

Respect is a key factor in this relationship.

Partners are supportive of others aspirations and dreams 

They both recognize their individuality. 

NOTE: All types from here on tend to be transient.

Healing relationships:

These occur after periods of loss, struggle, depression, stress or mourning.

They’re looking for someone to “fix them” 

Couples tend to talk about the past and their losses a lot. 

Gentleness, support, and comfort  characterize this relationship srather than great passion.

Experimental relationships 

These are experimental relationships.

Transitional relationships 

This is a relationship that is a cross between the kind of relationships you use to have the kind you want.

An “almost but not quite there” 

Avoidance relationships 

They’re together but not close.

They want to avoid their own deeper feelings. 

Don’t want to “get too close” 

Self-disclosure is low and mistrust is high. 

Pastime relationships 

Just something recreational and for fun and games.

Often emphasis is on fun and not deeper feelings.

Not one likely to last.

One night stands fall under this.

100 Roleplay Scenarios!

Here’s How It Works!

You and your RP group elect one RPer to roll the 100-sided dice. If you can’t decide, just go in alphabetical order of your tumblr roleplay blog usernames. Don’t worry, everyone will get a turn. (If you change your name to get ahead, you will be skipped over until the next time they get to your name. No excuses. Fair is fair).

 Rolling the dice is easy: you go to this site, select “100” from the drop down list for number of sides, “1” for number of dice to roll and “1” for number of rolls. You are only allowed to roll once.

Whatever number comes up, you look up the corresponding number on the scenario list above and figure out a way for your character to instigate it or introduce it. Be creative. Many of these scenarios are left open-ended and vague so the interpretation is entirely up to you.

Watch the scenario unfold.

Repeat once everyone gets bored/or when you want to heighten the stakes. Make sure you’re communicating with your RP group via OCC chat.

Enjoy! :)

Keep in mind, that this isn’t just for the RPers out there. If any writers or artists are feeling stuck, you can use any of these scenarios as a prompt. Pick and choose or roll the dice and see what comes up.

Happy Imaginative Play!
