Hi! I’m not sure if your requests are open, but if so, I have a cute, fluffy idea.

Billie x Black!reader with Billie researching and learning how to take care of and do her daughter’s hair. She’s watching tutorials, reading articles, and trying things out on fake mannequin heads. Maybe you could include a 5 + 1 scenario where Billie tries and fails to do a hairstyle on her daughter’s hair, and finally, there’s one time when she’s successful.

the four times billie tried to do your daughter's hair, and the one she succeeded

gabi's quick thoughts. so i realized right before i posted this that you wanted 5 and i only have 4, im sorry :( but i hope you still like it + this prompt is so adorable gahh. thank you for the request !!

1. the first time

billie’s standing in the middle of the bathroom with five products in her hands, yet she hasn’t a single clue what any of them are for.

curl custard. leave-in. detangler spray. oil. cream?

she vaguely remembers you telling her something about the lco method— liquid first, followed by cream and oil. but you also said that it depended on hair porosity, which she didn’t even know was a thing to begin with.

her brow furrows. “baby,” she calls, not for your daughter, celeste, but for you, voice echoing down the hallway like a white flag, “what order does all this go in again?”

you peek in the doorway with a smile and no real intention of helping. billie had insisted on learning how to do your daughter’s hair, only asking you to help her when needed, and you knew that this was just another opportunity for her learn. “read the labels, honey.”

“i did read the labels,” she grumbles, holding up one bottle like it personally betrayed her. “they all say to use them together. it’s not saying anything about an order.”

she ends up putting too much gel and not enough leave-in, and your daughter’s little coils are crunchy for the rest of the day, which, she had a little fit about layer.

but billie tries, and that’s really all that you could ask for— and celeste still says “thank you, mama,” with a lisp and a toothless grin, and that’s enough to make billie want to try again.

2. the mannequin

you catch her late at night in the kitchen, way past everyone’s bedtime.

you had initially gotten up for a glass of water when you found billie sitting at the island, focus written all over her visage. she’s got a bald-headed practice mannequin clamped to the table like a hostage, a spray bottle in one hand and her phone propped up with a youtube tutorial playing on mute with the subtitles on.

the mannequin has about half a head of synthetic hair sewn into a crooked part, and it looks like it’s been through war— which makes you laugh. the braids were bumpy and rough, but still, you cracked a smile at her efforts.

“you alright?” you ask, trying not to laugh.

“don’t,” she says without turning around, braiding and unraveling the same three pieces over and over again, frustrated. “don’t make fun of me, i’m learning.”

“who told you to buy a fake head?”

“reddit did. since you won’t let me practice on you.” she huffs.

you can’t stop the laugh this time. you’re careful not to wake your daughter up, but it was kind of hilarious that you woke up in the middle of the night to find your wife playing in some mannequin’s head. she glares at you, and the mannequin loses another braid in protest.

3. the ‘puff incident’

“i just wanted to do the two cute puffs,” billie sighs at you, “the ones you always put her in for school. that’s not even that hard— and i still can’t do the shit.”

“swear jar!”

“sorry.” billie grumbles underneath her breath.

celeste is sitting on the floor in front of her, arms crossed and eyes teary from all the tugging. the part is zigzagged and the puffs are lopsided and one of the elastics popped off like a rubber band under pressure, which had really set your wife off.

“you said ‘easy’ in the video,” billie grumbles, replaying the tutorial for the third time, “this is far from it.”

you kneel beside them, smoothing your baby’s curls with gentle fingers. “yeah— easy if you’ve been doing hair since you were twelve,” you murmur. “not if you just started last month. it’s a process to learn.”

“i’m trying to get it right,” she says, quieter now, “i just don’t wanna mess it up.”

you kiss her cheek and help her redo the puffs together. her fingers follow yours, slowly, steadily, make sure to pay attention to every little detail.

4. wash day

billie severely underestimated how long wash day is.

before she started attempting to do your daughters hair, she didn’t really ask that many questions. she was interested, but she often just let you have your time on those saturday’s that you spent doing your own hair.

but now, things were different.

she’s got celeste in the tub with conditioner slathered in thick and a wide-tooth comb in hand, but her arm is cramping by the third section and there’s still a whole back half to go.

“this is actually just child labor,” she sighs, more to herself than anyone, and your daughter giggles like it’s the funniest thing she’s ever heard.

she doesn’t get all the tangles, and you have to step in halfway through, but it doesn’t matter. she’s learning. she’s present. and your daughter won’t stop telling her how “everything’s perfect, mama, you made it perfect.”

billie looks exhausted but proud of her contribution, and she feels even more secure when you give her an affirming kiss on the cheek.

the one where she succeeded.

it’s saturday now. billie took her time doing the twists the night before, watched three different videos on how to coil properly, and even made sure that your daughter wore a bonnet in solidarity.

the sun’s peeking through the windows and the house is slow and quiet, just morning cartoons and cereal crunches, per usual.

billie’s in the living room with your daughter between her legs, detangling with care, sectioning with clips, and using the right amount of leave-in this time. she parts with a steady hand. twists gently. oils the scalp. seals the ends, all like you taught her weeks prior.

you walk by and pause in the hallway to watch them, peeking out behind the door. your daughter’s humming to herself, and billie’s tongue is sticking out a little in concentration, eyes half focused on whatever is playing on the tv.

she undid the twists and fluffed them out with a wide-toothed comb, then sealed it with a bit of biotin oil she had found underneath your cabinet.

after she was done, celeste got up to go look in the mirror, and she gasped, which made billie a little anxious until she exclaimed, “i love it, it’s so pretty!”

billie exhales like she’s been holding her breath all month.

you peek out from your spot and make your way over to your wife, wrapping your arms around her waist from behind and kiss her neck, and she melts a little into you.

“you did it,” you whisper, “i told you that you could.”

“finally,” she breathes out in relief, “i just… i wanted to get it right. for her. for you.”

you squeeze her tighter.

“you always do.”

My personal headcanon about Damian is that he somehow is really good at styling hair like complicated hair styles and everything I like to think that he used to do Talia's hair sometimes and also that he is fantastic at combining jewelry with them

OHHH I love this headcanon so much!! I can 100% see Damian being absurdly precise and skilled with intricate braids, buns, and updos—like the kind you’d need five YouTube tutorials to even attempt, and he just does them in silence with surgical focus. It makes total sense that he'd learn it from watching and helping Talia growing up—Ra's' assassins probably didn’t know what to do when the heir to the Demon was carefully pinning in hair jewelry like it’s an art form.

And YES to the jewelry pairing! I bet he’s got an eye for symmetry and contrast, like knowing exactly which earrings or hair clips will elevate a whole outfit. Imagine him casually adjusting someone’s hair or outfit before a mission or a gala and being like, “You're not wearing that with those earrings, are you?” Deadpan. Judging. But right.

Also it makes me think—imagine the batfam slowly realizing he's the go-to for formal events. Cass or Stephanie showing up with hairpins like “please” and Damian just sighing like “Hold still.” 😂

Dude I'm obsessed with how you draw expressions 🤩🤩🤩 do you have any tips regarding them? 👉🏼👈🏼

What I think about when drawing expressions:

1. Facial features - You can often show a more intense / expressive look by exaggerating certain features. Observe from photos when drawing them. (Not just humans, you can even use animals!)

2. Angles & poses - Beyond facial expressions, show how the character would angle their head. Body language also plays a role in adding emotions.

3. Lighting - Different lighting angles convey different moods. You could also experiment with how harsh the lighting is. I'll be using anger as an example, but these should apply to drawing any emotion :)

How to Divide an Object into Multiple Subsets in Milkshape 3D

i made my very first ever tutorial!! on how to divide an object into more than one group or subset in milkshape. this is v handy for when an object originally has one subset, but you want to make two recolorable subsets. 💕

is this helpful to anyone?? idk i hope so lol.

i did a quick written doc too, if that's more up your alley. it's more simplified than the video, but you still get the gist i think.

How did you learn to make gifs?

I taught myself using a bunch of different tumblr tutorials. actually when I first started making gifs (back in like 2016 ish) I used some free, more straight forward programs like instagiffer and ezgif bc photoshop seemed really intimidating and I think that helped me get more understanding of the topic without feeling overwhelmed by just jumping in to photoshop. there's so many great resources on tumblr alone for making gifs, and not just through photoshop. I'm about to head to work but I'd be happy to link some when I get home if you want and if you have any more specific questions you can ask or DM me and I can try to help with those as well!

Hi! Just curious, but is there any software that you use in order to access Antonblast's game assets?

Undertale mod tool (available through github) is still my go-to! I'm sure there's other/better ways out there, but that's the one I'm familiar with 👍

First crochet tutorial is up

[softness-and-shattering-art]

Brought to you by today's hyperfocus, my first time properly working in A3, and my excitement about Seven Spires' upcoming album:

[Image description: photo of a pencil sketch in landscape. Its a waist-up portrait of a woman with enormously swirly long hair tossing in the wind, holding up her arms in some kind of triumph or command, her hands dramatically posed like a conductor or musician. Her face is upturned, mouth open in speech or scream or song, face painted in white with black accents around her mouth and chin, plus dramatic winged eyeliner. Shes wearing a coat lined with buttons over a patterned vest and a cravat-style neck tie fancy situation. The coat also has a stiff collar, shoulder pads and large decorative sleeve cuffs. The overall effect is spooky, pirate-y, dark academia, powerful scary woman possibly summoning a storm, or demons, or perhaps commanding an army in a storm, like she might be the last thing yoi ever see.]

Based heavily on the band's aesthetics and lore and music videos. Im thinking this piece is either named "I, The Architect", or "Fear Me. Love Me.", both lyrics from a recent single off their new album coming out next month:
