I have a question. It may be answered. Or not; who knows. Twenty days.

Nineteen days to go! I know what's gonna happen now, how about you?

Is there a better way to say "It will happen; Just eighteen more days."

Seventeen days more! I hope I won't be a bore. What do I have planned?

Gosh darn it! Running low on good ideas with still sixteen more days.

Oh! I have a plan! What if I involved a song! Maybe...? Fifteen days.

Let it go! Let it go! Just fourteen more days to go! *Out of breath sounds*

Dang, that was harder than I thought! Maybe I could take asks? Thirteen days.

Seriously guys; twelve more days and I'm out of ideas. Please help.

At the idea store. Sleepy says I'll find one here. Eleven days.

If you tag Haiku Bot, you had better run now. Only ten days left.

It’s not that I don’t LIKE the Fandom Popular Pairings, it’s that I find the assumption that everyone ships them and the general all-consuming nature of said pairings to be kinda exhausting,

It’s not that I don’t LIKE the Fandom Popular Pairings, it’s more that sometimes people solely view the involved characters in terms of the ship and in the process do an incredible disservice to the characters involved

Give me a word or few and I'll write you a poem! You can even include phrases or even ask me to write works based on your OCs, works and other things as well! Anything and everything goes! I even write about real life history!

Oh my goodness, this is such a great offer! So I have these OCs, right? Well, picture this:

Scar and Damien are at a coffee shop poetry reading and Scar gets up to read his poetry. The stage is facing the window that looks out over the street. Scar is the only one who can see outside. He starts to read his planned poem and slowly begins to look up as he gets more confident. Then he realizes that his friends are getting into trouble (the magical kind) outside the window. He starts improvising, trying to tell Damien to go stop them without making the audience suspicious.

Do you think you could write that poem?

Finally did something for Mermay!

A friend on Discord suggested a mermaid swimming through a galaxy of sea stars and I loved the idea so much I had to draw it ⭐ ✨

i’m just gonna take this post for a moment so i can rant but like

i Hate how entitled adults can feel over a child’s hair!

it started when i was young myself, i wanted a mohawk, but my dad didn’t approve of that look on a “girl”, and insisted i’d regret such a bold cut. at 16 i was finally given full autonomy over my own head.

but then i have a son and everyone around us is trying to keep his hair short. when we finally moved out just me my partner and him, i told him he doesn’t need to get any haircuts he doesn’t want.

so he starts growing it out, it’s still short but coming on mid-length. his teacher makes a point to tell me it’s getting long as if i don’t have eyes. i hear her walking out with him one day talking to him about haircuts, as if to coax him into one. eventually i get child services called on me for ‘forcing a transgender lifestyle’ over what i can only assume is from a combination of me drawing cute ponies on his valentine box and letting him go to school in a ponytail.

he kept it short for awhile after but told me he wanted to grow it out again, so i let him of course. he comes home one day after getting a haircut at his grandpa’s and tells me he didn’t Want the haircut.

i ask why he got it then and learned he was bribed with a promise of a surprise IF he cut his hair.

tl;dr people need to back the hell up off of children and let them have owership of what’s on THEIR body! /rant

Same thing about getting a child to curl or straighten their hair. Or do anything with it. Just let kids have control over their bodies.

This happened to me when I was little too!! Growing up I had naturally tight Shirley Temple curls. The only problem was that you can’t get a hair brush through it if your life depended on it until it grew out over a few years.

but This One Lady from church decided that leaving my hair messy and curly was child abuse and threatened to call social services on my family every damn time she saw me until one day she was the designated kid watcher and ho boy my momma tells me i came out with tears in my eyes and greasy slicked down hair and that’s where she ends the story because i think my mother beat her ass but yeah.

Leave kids hair alone.

I’m going to be honest, parents who are super-controlling of their children’s hair creep me the fuck out and I’m not entirely certain why except that I get a vague feeling they kind of relegate them to, “annoying talking doll” status.

I loved my daughter’s long blond hair. It was thick and wavy and beautiful but when she told me she wanted it cut short ‘like a boy’(she was four)  I took her to the salon and let her whack it off. 

The stylist was skeptical, ‘are you sure?” and the thing is, she said this to me, not my daughter. So I asked my girl ‘are you sure you want it cut short?’ She was. The hair went. The stylist acted nervous most of the way through like she was waiting for one of us to burst into tears, but it looked cute! And my daughter loved it! (And it’s been short ever since.)

Autonomy over your hair is bodily autonomy and we as a culture need to start holding bodily autonomy as sacred

My family, for years, wouldn’t let me dye/cut my hair really short. I could understand the dye, but the shortest they’d let me go is a bob. They even let me dye my hair before letting me go that short. I’m finally in control of my hair and my hair is one of my favorite things about myself. It’s an easy way to express myself.

Let kids do what they want with their hair! Let them have fun with their hair before they’re told to grow up and have ‘professional’ hair!

My mom had a monopoly over my hair. Wouldn’t let me wear it natural, was obsessed with me having flyaways in the front and wouldn’t let me get out of the car in the mornings until they were flat, permed it when I was 10, wouldn’t let me cut it off for years after even though it was really damaged, vocally disapproved when I finally cut it as short as she’d let me.

When I moved out I stopped putting any heat in it and a few years later I cut it all off again. The second cut was my decision alone and it felt like a weight lifted off me, like no one could ever tell me what to do with it again or tell me “I needed it” to be pretty.

My parents always made me get my hair cut way too short. I didn’t know why it always upset me so much, but now that I know I’m trans, it makes a little more sense.

I wouldn’t be nearly as terrified of getting my hair cut now if they had just let me have some more control over what my hair looked like when I was a kid.

God I hate that you all had to suffer through the experience of not being allowed to do what you wanted with your hair as kids & teens more than I hate my own related experience.

The “status of annoying talking doll” sums it up so well, ugh, why must people treat their children like this? Why can’t we be open minded to a child expressing themselves even when it doesn’t fit the mold of what we’re used to (thank to the motherfucking traditionalists & their BS)?

I wanted to shave my head, I wanted to have a certain haircut, none of it was allowed. As an adult, I can tell you it’s simpler for me to keep my hair plain old long with occasional bangs (every 2-3 years), that’s how I like my hair now. But I wish I had the option back then to do more to itt, when I wanted to have fun & experiment with it!

I honestly don’t understand why parents don’t want their kids to express themselves. As a teen, I was a super alternative person. I wanted jet black hair and fun, alternative styles, but I wasn’t allowed to until finally, I bought myself a box of black dye from a dollar store and let my friends cut off half my hair (bottom half, think the girl from the Crow) with safety scissors before gym class one day. Finally, my guardian decided to let me do what I wanted when we went to get it done professionally or I’d find a way to do it anyway.

The thing is, after I did anything new to my hair (new lengths/styles, LOTS of colors) she’d tell me how good it looked on me! I NEVER understood what she was so afraid of in the first place!

Now as an adult with my own kids, my son’s teachers hate me. Yes! His hair is green! AND blue! AND pink! Know why? Because he asked for it! And then he did some chores to “pay” for the dye, and using my 20-some odd years of experience, I helped him express himself. Does he need a haircut? Yeah, it’s shaggy and kinda messy. Is he getting a haircut? No, he doesn’t want one. Why is that hard?

Now, my 2.5 yr old wants her hair pink. Will she get it? Actually, she already did, it just washed out fast. Next time we go for a brighter color.

Do my son and daughter both get their nails painted at the same time? Usually, time management after all. Does he want pink and purple? Abso-fuckin-lutely. Because HE wants them. And I won’t tell him no because the same guardian that didn’t want me to dye my hair tells me he’ll be a sissy. She can go fuck herself, and my colorful family will enjoy our happiness, thanks.
