So this is my first attempt at a prompt, so please be gentle, but I had fun and hope you guys like it :)

bobby pins:

stuck in a locked room? everyone is freaking out until the cinnamon roll pulls a bobby pin out of their pocket/hair/nowhere and picks the lock. everyone else is baffled- "where'd you learn to do that?" *cinnamon roll shrugs*

subverted- locked in a room, character tries to pick a lock with bobby pins, fails miserably

troublemaking heroine always wears her hair in a bun with copious bobby pins juuuust in case she needs to pick some locks

character is a scatterbrain, their living area is littered with bobby pins because they keep forgetting they already have a ton. they use them for all kinds of weird stuff.

alternative uses of bobby pins besides lock picking-

they read like ten books at once so they run out of bookmarks and use bobby pins instead

bobby pins as clothespins/to hold pictures up on a string
