It's like an interrogation....

Ah....the power of colour grading. I had an idea for this a while back but like I REAALLLLY like contextualizing characters in fantasy/historical fiction through the lens of modern fashion and I was like whatever I'll take it a step further: noir detective and wife in the most Gen Z way possible.

I think it's also helpful to the narrative I have of them which I rarely write about outside of some circles, but the whole "lets get married young!! oh my god my wife died" lore happened when they were 19-24. The instability of two neurodiverse young adults trying to make it on their own can be put into perspective overlayed what they'd look like in 2026 rather than 1899 cuz I don't think they're any different really, and it kinda hurts more in a way.

Also fuck it, Mortimer t-boy mullet, you know he would.

jade_hart_hair: 'Punky tip bleach and spike mullet cut by me for calumhood

Was so happy to fix up Callum for the massive @5sos uk arena dates

The colour inspo was 90s Green Day/Billie Joe Armstrong, the goal... to create a lived in rocker bleach, That looks DIY but is defo not

I freehand painted the bleach into Callum's hair, keeping it off the root at slightly different depths, working with the texture of the hair. I used bleachlondon total bleach, white heat and just like honey mixed... to keep a raw 90s pop and partner the tone with the lift achieved on a darker bases like Callum's

For the cut we went shorter on the sides... but not using clippers. Then removed length and bulk to create a shape that matches the aesthetic of the colour

Created bleachlondon Dalston'
