Ok so I want to get a drastic lesbian haircut because my hair fucking annoys me (I keep just cutting it shorter and shorter). Right now I’m at chin-length bob but it’s not Enough. I don’t mind my hair touching my face but I hate it touching my neck, so I kinda want to get the back/maybe one side shaved short but my hair middle parts? But I don’t do anything to style it ever. Btw, this ask was inspired by your hair, which I love. Any advice? (P.S I’m also a bio lesbian grad student in NY)

adventuresinchemistry:

oh man drastic lesbian haircuts are defs scary the first time you do it but the nice thing is that you’ll either love it or your won’t, and if you don’t well, hair grows back

for the record, my natural part is in the middle too, but when it’s short the part doesn’t really matter so much. i just picked a side to part it on and had it cut accordingly, and now my natural part only makes itself known when like my hair is wet or i’m doing something weird with it

I also hated styling my hair when it was long, and even now I do very little to style it and rely mostly on the cut and texture of my hair to give it style. But I found that with it cut short and in a style I like, I’m way more adventurous with it and way more willing to style it because I like my hair now in a way I never did when it was long. Then it was just a hassle, but now it’s a) a lot faster to style because I can just throw in some product and go and b) I like how I look with it short so styling it is more rewarding

obviously your milage may vary because like, what you can coax your hair into doing and what styles you can just kind of cut it into are dependent on like, the thickness and texture of your hair, but honestly, if you find a decent stylist with experience with short hair and are specific with what you want (bring reference pictures because they can’t read your mind), you can find a style that you like and suits your hair. 

It sounds like you want to do it, and I think you should take the plunge! it’s fun, and if nothing else, grad school is a great time to experiment with these types of personal expression things because there’s no dress code and the environment is pretty relaxed. 

I cut my hair short my senior year of college and honestly I wish I’d done it sooner. I’ve played around a lot with it since (growing out the side mullet, cutting it short again, various lengths and styles, etc.) but I’ve never regretted cutting it. It’s been super freeing and for the first time I’ve really liked my hair and how it makes me look. Plus hair cuts are a lot less fraught now that I get then ever 6 to 8 weeks. 

PS: You might hate it immediately afterwards, but you have to give it time to really tell, because that might just be the shock of not seeing what your brain is expecting to see in the mirror. So if you go for it and aren’t sure how you feel right away? Give it a couple of days. I find that it takes about 3 days for me to settle into a new style or cut whenever I do something major. So there’s that.

You will most likely have sort of an “agh” response the first time you look in the mirror after a drastic haircut. That doesn’t mean you don’t like it! That just means your brain is going “wait that’s not Right” in response to a change to something extremely familiar. It’s the programming that lets us spot potentially dangerous changes, but it’s not really equipped to recognize that haircuts are fine. Just wait a few days.

Those who say the Black Widow’s fighting style is just movie bullshit can see the above. ^ Shit is terrifyingly real. 

I think I’m in love.

She’s so tiny.

But she could kill me.

Great.

^ That

I will reblog this flying head scissors every time it comes on my dash because it’s so fucking awesome.

She’s beauty and she’s grace and she’ll kick you in the face.

actual College Student peter parker:

– Peter: i’m gonna die

  Tony: bad guys?

   Peter: finals

– peter being That Person in the group accommodation that the rest of the hall genuinely doesn’t believe exists. like that room at the end of the hall no one ever seems to enter or exit?? peter’s. he comes in through the window. the rest of the hall are sure they met him once at orientation but they haven’t seen him since

–  but sometimes they hear weird bumps in the night and muffled cursing and the resident stoner swears he saw tony stark go in there but nobody believes him

– *peter gets in from patrol at 4am* *see’s planner* “ah shit I have a lecture at 8″

– peter lying in bed as his alarm goes off the next morning: is it worth it. is it. do i even really need a degree? i could be a stripper. I have an okay body. strippers don’t have to get up for 8am lectures. is it r e a l l y worth it  – 

– peter at a morning lecture, with three coffees and a pack of redbull and one pen missing a lid “this is fine”

– “did that dude just down a pack of redbull like he’s doing shots” “same”

– u know that really annoying person who misses like 80% of the lectures but still somehow manages to get the highest mark on the exam? peter is That Asshole

– *peter showing up 10 mins late, bags the size of texas under his eyes, wearing pajama bottoms and a t shirt advertising iced tea, shaking from a lack of sleep/caffeine binge* “is this advanced chemistry?” “ancient history” “close enough” *collapses onto nearest desk*

– peter going around the freshers fair and grabbing every free thing in sight: pens, tote bags, notebooks, t shirts advertising shitty energy drinks, shoving everything edible in his mouth bc he’s a poor kid and he  knows You Don’t Turn Down Free Food

– “Karen, how long can I survive on pot noddles and discount pizza before I die?”

Birb!
This poor dummy hit a window at Target. I picked him up while he was stunned, and he seemed okay, so I started walking away from the parking lot.
It was really cool, because I could feel him starting to move around more, looking around and looking alert, and I could feel his little feet unclench and wrap around my finger. About 30 seconds later, he zwooped right out of my hand and flew off just fine.

0 Nautica/Brainstorm

doyourequirefirstaid:

  • How do they have a bean? accidentally. this is why we don’t screw around with spark-jumping technology in the laboratory, Brainstorm. now he’s got a tiny star orbiting his spark and Nautica is apologising over and over but he’s not even upset, really, it’s okay. it’s just a baby. you wanna be parents, Nautica? (yes, yes she does. panic to excitement in 0.8 seconds).

  • Would they have one bean or more than one bean? only one. imperious godfather Perceptor scrounges up some sentio metallico, grouchy granddad Ratchet carefully coaxes the baby spark out of Brainstorm’s spark chamber and into the living metal, and delighted aunt Velocity helps with all the follow-up exams to make sure the sparkling is developing properly. Nautica and Brainstorm name them Raindance.

  • What’s the bean’s shape? Size? they’re a tiny baby, but they never quite have a ‘blobby’, formless stage, and look vaguely like an infant from the moment the sentio metallico coalesces.
  • Is their bean an exceptionally cuddly squishy blob or no? Raindance just wants to touch everything: their carrier’s wings, their sire’s visor (flipping it down so it boops sire’s nose is hilarious), carrier’s experiments, sire’s rotors, carrier’s friends’ respective claws and needles… patting and poking are good. cuddling is also good, but optional.
  • Does their bean have basic protoform appendages forming yet? Raindance has stubby limbs from ‘birth’, and soon develops tiny, delicate fingers (the better to grab things with, to the dismay of their parents). indeterminate shoulder-kibble nubs form later.
  • Is much is their bean dependent on them? a lot. being the product of an accidental spark-energy exchange between a Camien and a cold-constructed Cybertronian with lingering spark trauma, their health is a little touch-and-go those first few months. even after their condition improves and stabilises, Nautica and Brainstorm still tend to fret and dote on them.
  • Who does the bean take after more physically? colour-scheme-wise, Raindance has Nautica’s shade of purple and Brainstorm’s gold-and-white highlights. when they get older and still don’t show any definitive alt-mode kibble, the crew quietly starts placing bets on which parent they’ll take after. joke’s on everyone when they turn out to be a triple-changer.
  • Personality-wise, who is the bean more like? Nautica. Raindance is very affectionate, and likes to touch people to convey that affection. they also embarrass easily, which is unfortunate, because one thing they did inherit from Brainstorm is his penchant to run his mouth when excited. they’re also very curious, like both their parents.
  • How does their bean interact with other grown mechs? “why do you have finny-things? can i touch them? why do you have swords? can i touch them? why are you a cat? can i ”
  • How does their bean interact with other protoforms? sadly, there aren’t any other babies currently on the ship. Whirl keeps making pointed jokes about ‘passing the jumper cables around’ and certain crew members (Rodimus, Cyclonus, First Aid, Perceptor) keep choking on their energon whenever he does, but so far nothing has come of it.
  • What sounds does their bean make? when they aren’t wheezing quietly, soft little baby jet burbles and coos. then they learn to talk and it’s r.i.p. to anyone within earshot, because you’re going to get an audialful of endless questions.
  • How does their bean move about? they will literally crawl, climb, or burrow under any obstacle. early limb-development has its perks.
  • Where and how often does their bean like to snooze? Raindance is a good baby and has a fairly normal sleep schedule with regular nap times and a parent-friendly amount of sleep at night. they like to fall asleep on either Nautica or Brainstorm’s chest while listening to their sparkbeat.
