Didn't you think her so cute when she slept like the dead?

[weonbullshit]

Already found a new technique for drawing locs, and I think this is gonna be my go to for a while.

I'm really excited to redraw Vashti like this and eventually Kerchek, but I've been awake for WAY too long, so I gotta go to bed. We'll see how it goes. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Since we're on the topic of video game hair, and how it takes different times and techniques to do different styles, I want to offer y'all just what Mr. Frontiers-Ravengard would be doing to his hair to have the style Larian gave him:

This is the flat twist style he has in game (this was so hard to find for me lmao):

How to do two strand Flat twists (what would have been easier):

Now mind you, even he mentions that if you want "sleek" flat twists vs more voluminous ones, you have to blow dry! The first video also showed her hair blowdried.

Same idea with cornrows; it's possible to do with and without blowdry.

These are smaller than Wyll's so there's more work, but simple, large ones (which is what they were probably going for anyway) wouldn't take too long to do on your own with moisture and a good comb.

Then how to do faux locs (which, again in my opinion 🙌🏾 is what both the base and the mods for this style in game look like):

This isn't the only way to do this btw, but I wanted y'all to notice the way they wrap the added hair to obtain that look. That's what I noticed that made me start seeing faux locs.

And real locs:

Now the palm rolling technique she's using, you might say "but Ice! That's twisting too!" Yes! But notice how, over time (look at the rest of her head) the "twist" fades as the loc buds. It doesn't maintain that "twist" look that faux locs do, bc faux locs are... Faux lol. They're fake! They're not going to start interlocking bc it's not real hair!

Now the reason I'm discussing all this is because even in a game as highly lauded and detailed as Baldur's Gate, even in this there were still some misunderstandings on how Black hair would look and function in a world where this guy is supposed to be hoofing it with urgency in the wild. Because if I were him, this would not be the style of choice for that 😅 But I get it, its supposed to be "D&D". Anyway, try noticing things like this, when you play your games (and when you make your characters!)

Duke Thomas headcannons becuase please just write him as a black boy:

the first time there’s a summer rain at night after he moves into Wayne Manor Duke sets up the speakers and the floodlights and lives out his 00’s rnb music video dreams

after that Alfred will sometimes drive him around in the back of one of the cars when it rains at night because he doesn’t want his latest grandson to get hypothermia but understands that it is very important to live out 00’s rnb music video dreams

Duke teaches Cass the Usher watch this thing and originally they only use it to tell each other that they’re gonna do some dumb shit but then Cass decides she really likes it and uses it more than the actual sign

Duke and Cass have a theme song because they are besties and that theme song is black and yellow by Wiz Khalifa whenever it plays they drop everything to rap to each other and if anyone turns it off before it finishes they start it again even louder it becomes a great distraction technique for other batfamily members. they chose the song because of their uniforms but the first time a civilian sees how enthusiastic they are about the song they draw a different conclusion and they find it so funny that they definitely have to keep it as their theme song from now on

Duke lives a no shoes in the house life no matter who’s house it is or what everyone else is doing

He also keeps his Signal uniform exclusively in the batcave because no uniforms in the Manor seems like the natural extension for no outside clothes in bed

Duke sneaks scotch bonnets into the Manor kitchen generally timed with the occasions that Jason is around and in the mood to cook. Dinner those nights feature running eyes and noses from Bruce Tim and Steph along with all the milk in the Manor finishing. It’s great entertainment for Duke Cass Damian Jason and Dick

Duke has locs he lowkey thinks about bleaching the ends to match the aesthetic of his uniform but he’s unsure of if it will make him to conspicuous

When he first moved to the Manor he got pooled into the schedule to pick up hair shop (beauty supply store) supplies with the Fox’s because they’re all way too busy of people to be driving out of the way individually so it only made sense to add Duke to that. He and Tam also timetable his retwist appointments with her hair appointments for the same time

Duke is an instigator Jason and Tim will be having a petty squabble that is about to fizzle out but then Duke walks past them and just whispers a quick “if I were you I wouldn’t have that” and then an hour later a priceless vase is broken there’s holes in the wall and Tim and Jason have matching black eyes. Duke considers it a public service to provide Babs with entertainment for when Oracle hours a slow she agrees and doesn’t snitch on just how much shit Duke starts so he can get away with even more

Duke joins Jason and Alfred’s book club and the first book he picks is Beloved because like they’re in this big old gothic manor respect the aesthetic

One time Bruce walks passed Duke on ft to his friends and he’s performing “Wisdom” and Bruce thinks it’s something Duke came up with himself and is trying to be a supportive dad and is like “that’s great son” with a really strained smile and Duke just sticks to the bit like “you really think so?” bruce even more pained “yeah it’s amazing”

He also has exclusively satin pillowcases and gives everyone in the Manor a set because it’s good for the hair and therefore a good use of Bruce’s rich people money

Duke upon realising that he was gonna be adopted by a bunch of crime fighting pseudofurries and was going to join them in the crime fighting said this some white people shit and that’s why he chose Signal rather than some bioluminescent bird

Inosuke x black male reader

The last one from the poll!! Yippie!!

I love inosuke he’s so cool 😎

your hair is….very foreign to inosuke

this is Japan so when he sees you in general he’s very confused??

and confused=confrontational (like with giyuu)

so at first there’s a chance y’all beefed (it may have been one-sided)

but to talk specifically about your hair he probably pulls and inspects it a lot

or at least tries I know you don’t let that slide

he’d ask overly blunt questions like

“what happened to your hair, is it fried?!”

your skin is also new to him

the things he be saying is atrocious but he’s genuinely curious

mans also has no social cues

which makes him come off as rude

and even if he did have social cues he’d ignore them, cuz he doesn’t care 🤷‍♀️

to sum it all up, don’t take it personally

he be munching down on your cooking tho!

so at least that 🤦‍♀️

he always asks for so much / extras

he likes spicy too

He steals tanjiro and zenitsu’s food whenever you cook

When you use AAVE he doesn’t get it

and never will

you never even bothered to teach him

he doesn’t seem like the type of guy who would get it

if you wanna say something and don’t want him to know just teach tanjiro and zenitsu AAVE

zenitsu will get it before tanjiro does-

”WHAT?? WHADDYA SAYIN?? STOP SPEAKING FUNNY!!”

”THAT DOESNT EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE IDIOT!!”

him calling you a idiot is irony I know 😂 /j

your culture/dances also don’t make sense to him..😞🙁

he might get the culture a little bit more than the dances

i mean it’s just dancing but he’ll be wondering why you have to do it a certain way

and as far as culture he’ll be like

”whaddya doin all this stuff for?! ITS POINTLESS!! lets go train instead!”

Tanjiro will get it tho!

he’ll explain his dad used to do a fire dance to ward the demons off

”is it something like that?”

close enough..🧍‍♀️

your bonnet/durag is very strange to him

He doesn’t get why you need something on your head to sleep

You explain to him that it’s to keep your pillow from soaking the oil in your hair and to keep your hairstyles neat

speaking of which when you braid your hair or if you have locs he thinks it’s very cool!

(that’s like the most positive thing I’ve wrote so far..)

Only problem is…..he wants you to do his hair like yours..

”but inosuke, your hair’s gonna fall out! And you can’t loc straight hair!”

He doesn’t wanna hear it..

he gets loud/starts yelling and you have to calm him down

your features are something he notices right off the bat but at the same time it goes right over his head

like he sees you may have a big nose/big lips but he doesn’t really pay much attention to it

like he doesn’t even think ‘everyone is different!’ so why would he pay attention to everyone’s individual features?

he’s looking for if your strong or not if anything 🤷‍♀️

im just gonna put a collage of his questions here cuz I can

”WHY CANT YOU DO MY HAIR LIKE YOURS?!”

”HOW’S YOUR HAIR SO BIG!?”

”HOW COME YOUR HAIR GOES BOING AND MINE DOESNT?!”

”what’s that black thing on your head?” (Durag)

”WHADDYA MEAN MY HAIRS’ GONNA FALL OUT?! YOURS DIDNT!!”

”is your hair a defense technique?? What does it do?”

“how’d you get your hair like that?”

”WHY DO YOU TALK LIKE THAT??”

”I CANT UNDERSTAND YOU!! SPEAK NORMAL!!”

”does your whole village look like that?? SHOW ME!”

his bluntness be getting outta hand ngl

You being a male doesn’t NOT affect inosuke whatsoever

he realized he wanted to be with you, and his mind, you were already his

(he didn’t actually ask you out 🤦‍♀️)

and yeah I pretty much have nothing else to say bc inosuke don’t care.

he’s him like that 🤷‍♀️

Inosuke’s love languages are quality time and gift giving

quality time = training

training = beating

not because he wants to beat you

but just because he doesn’t hold back at all

i hope your stronger than him

cuz if your weak……..😃

with gift giving he’ll remember the things you say you like but……it’ll just end up going..wrong..

for example! You say you need a new durag because it has a hole?

well! The great inosuke has taken the liberty to make you a new one!

like it? 😁

(oh gosh…..you don’t. What is this even made out of??)

”gee thanks..! Inosuke..”😟

”HHAHAHAHAHAH YOU BETTER BE GRATEFUL!! THE GOD OF MOUNTAINS HIMSELF MADE YOU A NEW DURAT!”😼

(yes durat 😋..he doesn’t remember the name)

zenitsu and tanjiro support you two

zenitsu was already aware of non het couples

he doesn’t see the attraction but it’s none of his business to him really

tanjiro is 100% supportive and doesn’t see it any different from a hetero couple

kind confused?? But he’s supportive :)

also commends you for taking on the rambunctious inosuke 😅

inosuke doesn’t care what anyone else has to say about your relationship

Now if they’re passive aggressive he won’t get it-

but if they directly insult either of you—your gonna have to stop him from beating them up 😜

(or join him! 😊)

all in all….your relationship is very chaotic!

you love him regardless <3

Lol inosuke so silly

Hope you enjoyed💝

double meaning of psyche and the butterfly theory

so. butterfly theory. we know that the concept of psychokinesis (psychí kínisi) is going to be very significant in future lore and in defeating dema. the term is composed of two words from ancient greek, psyche (meaning soul) and kinesis (meaning movement)—soul movement, also known as the 'seizing' technique the bishops use to control people.

clancy, by acquiring this power in the latest letter/the outside mv, is 'transformed' into a weapon. metamorphosed, if you will.

"This small eerie island has made me a weapon. We both believe that we can use it to change the momentum of this war." 022 03MOON 18

now here's where the interesting part comes in: psyche (ψῡχή), in ancient greek, also means 'butterfly', and this is specifically extended from the meaning 'soul'. given the fact that tyler chooses words very carefully and charges them with as much meaning as possible (sai has like 4 different meanings: scaled and icy/clancy is dead/sai (weapon)/psi (greek letter & the band logo)), i think the possibility of this being a coincidence is very small.

we've already had a few things that could suggest that butterfly imagery will be relevant for the next era/album, such as the LOC chrysalis keyword, tyler wearing a brand with a purple butterfly logo, and the pattern for doubt on the blurryface album resembling the pattern of a monarch butterfly wing, and the double meaning of 'psyche' only makes this theory more probable.

THE FACEFUCKING MANIFESTO FROM TWITTER!!! THIS IS FOR FUN. NOT FOR SERIOUS. HEADCANONS DRIVEN BY HORNY, BUT HERE IS 700 WORDS OF OPINION. FRIENDLY DISCUSSION/ARGUING IS ENCOURAGED!!!!

[ID, copied from ALT: a screenshot of a document title that reads "THE FACEFUCKING MANIFESTO" end ID]

Shen “I think I like you tonight” Qingqiu WOULD know what facefucking is+he WOULD be into it. He’d never bring it up but WOULD agree to being facefucked and he’d be a reluctant to admit slut about it. This man agreed to wine in his ass and is obsessed with his husband’s dick–

Anyways for HIM doing the facefucking. He would be one of those guys that thinks about it offhandedly. Maybe has jerked off to porn of it before but didn’t seek it out. Thinks it’s degrading without considering himself or people he knows doing it. But after getting married, and when HE is feeling too good during a blowjob he can’t help but thrust his hips up and if his partner doesn’t stop him, well!! He’s feeling good!!!! They’re fine!!!

In the case of Bingliushen, he is forced to confront the fact that his husband enjoys it and WILL ask to be facefucked. Throatfucked, if you will. He will gently Dom Binghe through it after much blistering and fumbling. There is not much technique involved; he is just rutting and fucking in there. It’s a blessing Binghe is a bit of a masochist and also doesn’t need to breath. Did Shen Qingqiu think of that as he held Binghe down? He will said he did. But he didn’t really, since Binghe wasn’t pushing him off once he started going into it. For Liu Qingge as the facefuckee, it’s much the same but Liu Qingge enjoys the lack of air.

Shen Qingqiu gives lots of praise and gently washes both his husband and boyfriend’s face afterwards. It took work to make it a habit, but he gives them lots of water.

Luo “Call me husband” Binghe did not get sex education RIP to him. But when he discovered the world of blowjobs, the world grew three sizes larger. He knew what his purpose in life was for his husband– this man was made to get facefucked. Loves it. Is the biggest slut for it and would drink nothing but both Shizun’s cum and–

Him as the facefucker, though, would depend on his mood +who he’s fucking. The first time he’d been close to being the facefucker, Shizun had tried fucking his own throat on Binghe’s dick + Binghe had cried as soon as Shizun gagged a little *too* much and looked like he’d puke. Shizun doesn’t have to do things just because Binghe does them for him. They eventually work him up to shallowly rutting in Shizun’s mouth, slow and sweet strokes as he pets Shizun’s hair and falls apart in his mouth.

He doesn’t go into Shizun’s throat very often in fear of hurting his husband. But when he *does*, it’s deep and he holds himself there for a while. Facefucking is a slow, tiring event when Binghe does it; by the end Shizun’s jaw is sore and he’s full of tears and head empty. It’s about the closeness and worship.

When Binghe is fucking Liu Qingge’s face, it’s faster. Liu Qingge enjoys pain, and thrusting continuously down a throat with his size and little recovery time definitely hurts. His hips hit Liu Qingge’s face plenty, and and he’s only teasingly lingering down his throat. It’s more about the fucking and using than being inside him when it’s the two of them. Scratching the need and the trust to be allowed to fall apart. Only when Binghe is close to coming will he stay down, rutting down Liu Qingge’s throat to feel him struggle to breathe and see his eyes absolutely cloud over as he takes it.

Liu Qingge, bless him. Sex IS just a physical activity, baby! What do you mean that most people aren’t doing breath acrobatics in bed? He enjoys getting throatfucked and would not believe anyone if they said most people don’t engage in this activity. It would never come up and he’d blister about if it did, but alas. Hair was made to be held. Liu Qingge grabbed Shen Qingqiu’s hair and held him down the first time Shen Qingqiu went down on him and locked his legs and that was it. Shen Qingqiu has to tell him when he doesn’t want to be held down to eat him out; Luo Binghe holds him down when it isn’t welcome.

Unless his hips are restrained, Liu Qingge *is* fucking and thrusting so his dick can get the most stimulation. Prefers to sit his partners’ faces so he can control the fucking pace, but he is most often found squished between the husbands on the bed not in control.

stwg prompt (27/4/23) - buzzed hair/shaved head

wc: 1076

🩵

Wayne hasn’t been feeling too confident in his looks, lately. Usually he doesn’t care, but when he looks at Eddie, he wishes he still had hair like that. Every so often in Hawkins a new person gets the “hair” nickname. Currently it’s Steve Harrington, Eddie’s friend — or more than a friend, Wayne’s not too sure — and it reminded him of when that used to happen in Tennessee too. When Wayne was in highschool, he was “the hair.”

He’s surprised he hasn’t died yet from the fumes of hairspray finally catching up to him, but the smoking will do that someday. All the products he used to use, all the times at school when the girls would come to him for hair techniques… All of that is gone now, and so is his hair.

A slight sob catches in his throat as he runs his fingers over what’s left of his hair. What’s left of his hair… Nothing much. It’s gray and white and barely there now. But he can’t let go of his highschool days. How the hell is he supposed to go back out into the dating scene without his long, luscious locs to help him?

He hasn’t dated since then, hasn’t had the courage or the confidence. Even when he still had his hair, he couldn’t bring himself to ask a girl out.

Some people can take up addictions to help with loss and grief, but if he were to tell anyone he’s a smoker because it helps him deal with the stress of losing his hair and not being “attractive” anymore, they’d laugh at him, make a joke out of it. There’s only so many jeers and snide comments he can take before he drives back home and cries himself to sleep.

He’s been doing that a lot lately, hoping his pillow muffles it enough so Eddie can’t hear. But Eddie can’t exactly hear anything outside of his room when he’s blasting that goddamn metal. Not that it’s bad or anything, Wayne likes it too, sometimes, but only when it’s not at an eardrum-shattering volume.

Today is the worst of it, the worst he’s felt in a long ass time about his looks. But there’s no point in buying a wig or trying to grow it out again because anyone who knows him already knows what he looks like without it. So there’s no point, and he won’t bother.

But maybe having hair might help him feel better about himself? No, it takes too long to grow out and he sure as hell knows nothing’s gonna grow on the top of his head anymore, maybe the sides, but that’ll look ridiculous.

So he doesn’t bother.

It’s only in the evening when he’s starting to feel a little better and has stopped crying. But not for long… because as he walks to the bathroom, the sound of a hair trimmer buzzes to life and someone’s laughing quietly to themselves in the bathroom.

Eddie.

It’s Eddie.

Half of his— what the fuck?

“What in the goddamn hell are you doing, son?” Wayne exclaims, watching as another few strands of Eddie’s hair fall into the sink. “Wha— Eddie! Put that damn thing down!”

Eddie does, in fact, not put that damn thing down and continues shaving. Strand after strand, his smile grows wider, and he looks at Wayne’s reflection in the mirror.

“Hair grows back,” Eddie says with a half smile. “I did it for you.”

“Why?” Wayne can't stop the tears from falling now, they gather in his lower eyelashes and drop down onto his cheeks.

“Because I want you to know that you’ve still got it. With or without hair. You’re a handsome man, and if anyone disagrees they’re obviously blind. You don’t need hair to be handsome and I don’t either.”

“You’re crazy,” Wayne says, laughing a little.

“On the contrary, I’m a genius,” Eddie says with another smile. “And I’m also doing this to help my friend, Jane. A bad man shaved her head and she hasn’t been feeling confident, says she looks ugly without hair. But she doesn’t. You look handsome without hair, she looks beautiful without hair, and Jim Hopper looks hotter than ever without hair.”

“Boy, don’t you dare tell me you’ve still got a thing for Jim.”

Eddie stays silent. Wayne frowns.

“What?” Eddie says, holding his hands up. “You gotta admit he’s hot.”

Wayne tuts. “He’s old enough to be your old man!”

“So?” Eddie smirks. “I’m legal, he’s legal…”

“He’s also married!”

Eddie gasps. “Jim and Joyce got married?! Why wasn’t I invited?!”

“I don’t think they’d want you jumping up on the tables at the reception, son,” Wayne replies, turning off the machine for him.

“I don’t— Oh… You’ve got a point.”

“I’ve got a point and no hair.”

“Me too!”

“No, I was right, you were wrong, son. I have the point.”

Eddie shrugs. “Alright, fine. You win. But he’s still ho—”

“No, not finishing this conversation,” Wayne interrupts, backing away out the door. “Be with someone your own age, like Harrington’s kid. I see the way you look at him and he looks at you—”

“And I’m not having that conversation,” Eddie replies.

Wayne snickers, starting to feel like himself again.

“No. Wayne, no. I don’t… I don’t like him like that! We’re just friends.”

“Mhm mhm.”

“Wayne!” Eddie whines. “Stop!”

“Son,” Wayne says, placing a hand on Eddie’s shoulder. “Just try.”

“Okay fine, I’ll only do it if you ask Claudia on a date.”

“You want Dustin to be your brother, huh?” Wayne’s smiling again, so is Eddie.

“If I ever have an argument with Steve over who Dustin’s favorite is I wanna be able to say it’s obviously me ‘cause I’m his brother,” Eddie says. “But no, that’s not the only reason. You wanna find love, right? At least try. The worst she can say is no.”

“I’ve got better things to be doing than—”

“Remember the deal? You said—”

“Alright, fine!” Wayne throws his hands up. And he wonders where Eddie gets his dramatics from… “I’ll ask her on a date.”

Eddie fist pumps the air. “I love you!” He barrels Wayne into a hug.

Wayne smiles again, and finally, he feels like maybe he can still be handsome without his hair. He’s gonna remember this day for the rest of his life, maybe even add a part about it into his wedding speech if things with Claudia go well.

hi! i saw your fem hairstyle post, and wanted to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while

what are the things i should avoid when taking care of my hair? how often should i wash it? with what? how do i keep my hair soft and fluffy without damaging it?

also, i love how dedicated you are to this blog, and i appreciate all that you're doing. this is all very helpful! :)

Lee says:

My younger sister is a hair-care fanatic and one thing she swears by are silk pillowcases, but they can be expensive. I used to wear a satin sleeping cap when I had longer hair, so that or a silk durag might help if you're on a budget. Either way, you need to sleep with either something on your head or with a special pillowcase if you want to reduce friction so your hair will be less dry and frizzy. If you don't have a protective hairstyle in like braids, twists, locs, etc it can also keep your hair from getting too tangled.

It's been a long time since I had long hair so I've forgotten a lot, but I remember using coconut and jojoba oil sort of like leave-in conditioner. My sister has a giant bag of hair stuff that she uses to condition and clean her hair so it all depends on how involved you want to make it. You shouldn't shampoo your hair every time you shower, but you can wash it with water and condition it more often. You should try using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner that's meant for your hair type.

I was not an expert in this area even when I did have long hair, so I would recommend that you seek out online communities, forums, and social media groups dedicated to hair care for your hair type.

If you have type 2A hair you will likely need to follow a different hair care routine than someone with type 4C hair, for example, and someone who wears their hair in box braids or straightens or dyes their hair is going to have different hair-care needs than someone who wears their hair naturally in a ponytail or Afro on a typical daily basis, so the products, tools, and frequency of actions will vary depending on what kind of hair you have and what style you keep it in.

If you feel overwhelmed by diving into the online world of hair care, it can sometimes be easier to schedule an appointment with a hairstylist who specializes in your hair type and texture. They can provide personalized recommendations for products, styling techniques, and maintenance routines tailored to your individual needs.

It can help to find a hairdresser who has worked with other LGBTQ+ clients if possible so you can feel comfortable in the space. If you have friends who have a similar type of hair as you do, ask them what they do to maintain it and who they see!

Followers, please help us out here-- give anon some tips on maintaining clean, soft, and fluffy hair!

dixy says: i have long curly hair, honestly i feel like a lot of it for shampoo and conditioner is trial & error. i tried one of the brands recommended on the curly hair holy grail list but i think the shampoo might be drying out my hair a bit so i plan to switch back to love beauty & planet shampoo. letting your hair air dry is also quite good for it

aroaloe says: I don't have curly hair myself but my partner does and we've been working on finding a way for her hair to grow out and not get damaged. The biggest thing is a leave-in conditioner. After the shower when the hair is damp but not too wet, you add the leave-in and comb in through with your fingers from the tips to the scalp, then gently scrunch the hair to help encourage prominent curls. Hair stays a little oily feeling for a few hours but after that is super light + soft

[imoanurparentsnames]

to my lovely selfshippers with afro hair:

your f/o loves your kinky hair. they're amazed at how curly it gets with just water and/or gel. they show you photos on pinterest of styles you could try.

your f/o would learn different braid styles and techniques for you btw. even if they’ve had no prior experience with your texture and was slightly intimidated, they’d still stay up just a bit later than usual watching videos/practicing w fake hair

if you have a night wrap up regimen, they think you're adorable in your night bonnet. and if you wake up with a bed head, they dont care as long as they see you.

they embrace the fact you wear weaves, extensions, or faux locs. and don't care if people care that its real or if you're bald, they love you nonetheless ✩

OHOHOHO this one is GOOD... thank you for indulging me (headcanon game from here) . assume that most of these are after lae has had her character arc.

first and foremost: battle couple. they fight alongside each other and they fight well. when they've spent a few years together, they're an amazing duo.

related to that, they spar a lot and exchange their knowledge about fighting. wyll teaches lae'zel about dueling with rapiers and other fancy stuff and lae'zel teaches him githyanki techniques. when/if wyll loses his powers after getting away from his pact with mizora, which becomes kinda hard on him (since he's gotten so used to having them) lae'zel helps him every step of the way, at first through tough love, but she doesn't hesitate to praise him or be soft later.

also, sparring as foreplay. this one is obvious. come on.

both of them are Very Fancy Bitches when it comes to their hair. doing each other's hair is a love language. wyll braids lae'zel's hair and puts all the fancy accessories in place and lae'zel learns how to take care of his hair when he's growing it (i imagine wyll to be a long locs/twists/braids kinda guy).

also related to that, them exchanging hair accessories as a symbol of love and wearing them in their respective hairstyles. kinda like wedding rings (even though to me lae'zel is allergic to the concept of thinking of herself as married.)

lae'zel starts calling him gith words and at first wyll ofc doesn't know what he's saying, so he decides to learn githyanki BUT keeps it a secret to surprise her. the first time he replies to her back in githyanki she blushes SO HARD and is speechless for a good couple of seconds.

tbf i can't really see them settling down in baldur's gate, not while the whole vlaakith vs orpheus civil war is raging on, so either wyll comes with her and rest of the githyanki or they separate for a while :( she doesn't strike me as the kind of person to abandon her people for her partner.

but. i like to think lae'zel comes back. she always will.

lae'zel learns from him that it's good to relax and chill, actually. sometimes, it's fine to sleep until late in the morning and not wake up to do squats.

wyll, after years of isolation and being alone, has someone at his side who will not leave. lae'zel becomes his rock and sometimes, a shoulder to cry on when the need arises. she wipes his tears from his cheeks and tells him that he's the strongest man she's ever known no matter what has happened to him.

sex-wise: they are both switches. lae'zel is more outwardly dominant but once she has trust in him she lets wyll dom her sometimes, though she asks for him to be rough and wyll doesn't have it in him at first (he needs to be reassured and asks to negotiate it). i can see both being pretty versatile and just going with the flow depending on how the other feels.

they once attempt to do roleplay (wyll as a monster hunter and lae'zel as the monster) but it's so cringey that they have to stop out of embarassment
