#maul.core

in my mind he finds curly/coily hair fascinating, especially with how versatile it is and just how it looks. i can definitely see him just wanting to brush or touch it or even learn how to do styles with it

yes you see the vision! especially if the reader has curly/textured hair

i think initially he’s all “humans are so fragile you need hair all over your body to protect your skin from the elements. zabraks have superior skin” blah blah blah but he doesn’t develop a fascination with hair until he has feelings for you lol

also maul has no frame of reference for human beauty standards, so he doesn’t see the problem with brushing out curly hair lmao

like imagine demonstrating how frizzy your hair gets if you brush it out and he just stares like “i do not see the issue here” and you’re like bruh i look insane

he’s fascinated with the amount of product that is needed to maintain curls. or that certain hair types need different shampoo/conditioner.

this is self indulgent bc im a girl dad maul truther, but i have a feeling maul would like to braid your hair. and hes good at it bc hes maul, so all you need to do is show him once

and honestly? I think braiding your hair helps maul think. movement stimulates brain activity and all that. like imagine him scheming while braiding lmao

and dude is fucking wicked smart. yes yes he’s manipulative, but he’s good at it. he went from losing his mind on lotho minor for 10 years, to ruler of mandalore, to THEE Crime Daddy of the galaxy. you don’t do that by brute forcing your way through crime syndicates.

he kicked ass despite being significantly injured throughout season one. he’s audacious and persistent. of course he’s the harbinger of his own downfall, but god damn is he nigh unstoppable when focused.

and the cherry on top is that he’s handsome, eloquent, has badass tattoos, a voice like whiskey, and a slutty little helix piercing.
