When Marcille roleplayed as Chilchuck’s wife because it’s a normal way to engage in gossip of course of course, her appearance is really just her as a half-foot in a common dress and two braids. Uncharacteristically simple for her, though she did wear those as a half-foot too. At the end of canon, Chilchuck, implicitly by the text ~filling the hole in her heart~ by doing her hair for her when she lost the will to care for it herself, puts it in two braids.
She’s one step closer to her "I wonder what Chilchuck would be like as a husband" fantasy…. Don’t give up girl dreams come true, keep asking him about spending the rest of your daily lives together
Mfw his love language is acts of service

one thing that always kind of baffles me when I read Kanej fanfic is when people write Kaz not knowing how to braid Inej's hair
SOC takes place in heavily fictionalized late 1800s world and the boy grew up on a farm and then helped run a gang in a port city, he definitely had to learn knots and rope-braiding at some point

i know this is A Reach and possibly nitpicky but i think the prettification of the hunger games movies can be seen even in the small matter of katniss's hairstyle. what's described as a simple and practical braid in the books is now a fancy diagonal over-the-shoulder dutch braid in the movies (a braid that is neither functional when the purpose is to get your long hair out of the way, nor very quick/easy to do on yourself), and added to that is the fact that katniss has bangs, once again something that is very impractical when you consider that katniss hunts for a living and those loose hairs would not only be visually obstructive but would also get caught in the bowstring and yanked like hell every time she shoots. in the training sequence of catching fire you can literally see that the bangs are in her eyes. there's a reason olympic archers always have their hair tied up and tucked out of the way. if she were to have a dutch/french braid, the point of that would literally BE to get those shorter hairs out of the way. but since this is a hollywood movie of course they have to make their star have pretty hair that frames her face just so

love the disco writers actively remembering Michael is a xenoanthropologist- would love it even more if they remembered she grew up on Vulcan more than once every ten episodes and in any sort of substantial way like let’s say wearing Vulcan appropriate wedding clothing to a Ni’Varian/Kelpian wedding

It's the heroic return of Mui-kun in a ponytail!
But while I was drawing that, I was reminded of how much I liked having Shinobu wear Tamayo's hairpin in this AU. In either AU I have enjoyed cropped-hair!Mitsuri and wanted to see how she might do braids with her new style.
