magic in every touch

                                                  #headcanon - natural hair 

     raine starting out had a cute lil' afro like most cute lil' black girls do. however, it was very big and although it WAS a more loose curl pattern raine's mother did NOT want to deal with a child with natural hair. she'd gone down that road with nuru, raine's older sister, and decided natural hair was far too high maintenance. it didn't help that raine was tender headed and energetic so she didn't sit through combing and styling well. plus raine's mother wasn't a fan of natural hair to begin with, she herself had gotten her own hair relaxed at a very young age and thought poorly of how natural hair looked. 

     raine kept her afro until around six, at which point her mother and grandmother relaxed it. when raine's aunt got back from one of her extended stays in paris she was FURIOUS. she was even more furious at the brainwashing her sister had done on the girl to get her to not make a fuss about her hair, that, up until that point raine LOVED. she told her things like "don't you want to look grown up like mommy?" and "you'll be so pretty" . not to mention treating her BETTER briefly, as if the loss of her  "WILD" hair did make her more worthy of her mother's attention ( it certainly made her look less like her wayward aunt ). when said aunt offered to "fix" her hair raine decided she wanted to keep looking more like mommy.

     eventually raine hit high-school and an offhanded remark made by her best friend and first female crush about how NICE she might look with an afro made her start wearing wigs. she found that she also liked how curly hair shaped her face in a different way than straight hair ever did. when her mother started noticing her latest choices in hairstyle she told raine it made her look "juvenile". raine stopped buying wigs that were too curly. 

Support muses of color.

Stop ignoring them for white muses.

Dismantle whitewashed/ faceclaims. 

End the idea that a muse can’t ship with a non-white muse because the muse ‘isn’t into ___ people.”

Destroy labeling roleplayers of female muses of color as ‘they only care about shipping/smut’ because they like to write romantic threads.   

Avoid racist stereotypes in writing. 

‘Stop being overcritical of non-white muses that have the same flaws as white muses.’

     ooc. ya know what we don't talk abut enough?? raine and sex tbh?? so i'm posting this in the middle of the night though because?? Reasons. 

raine's "happy go lucky" attitude definitely makes its way into her sex life?? if a partner wants to try something unless she feels VERY strongly against she's really down for it and a big part of that is that she's a chill person but the OTHER part is that she's an empath so if the partner is enjoying something she can enjoy it too. the one thing she just CAN'T get behind is bloodplay/knifeplay since she's too worried about seriously hurting her partner. she'd see blood and flip out and heal them. plus she has her own fears of knives. the OTHER is verbally degrading her partner or getting verbally degraded herself. no Thanks.  

raine actually likes to be in charge of sex quite a bit?? she's very versatile ... again, because she's just a relaxed person + empathy but LARGELY part of her whole "needs to feel needed" complex makes her want to be in control. she likes to take care of her partners and so when she's dominating or in charge her personal kinks are praising a partner and marking them up. these are her Things. when it comes to girls she really likes giving oral because she's a people pleaser. she tends to like giving guys head less but she's still an Empath so she still enjoys it quite a bit. her favorite thing for men when she's dominating is to ride them vs missionary where she feels she's not doing her Job(tm) anymore. she can honest to god have an orgasm without being touched if she's NOT blocking her partner's emotions. 

                  raja flushed  scarlet, sheepish grin scarcely veiled behind her hair. A new relationship was EXCITING. She reveled in the light that Rapunzel exuded. However, Raja did fear that her past would frighten the younger girl from thoughts of forever. A small sigh anointed her lips as she spared a glance to her baby monitor. Raja did not regret her child, his innocence permeating the dark, but she knew well there was a responsibility Rapunzel may not want. Raja shook her head to dismiss Raine’s concerns.   

          ❛  No, no - nothing’s wrong. Everything has been going really well. ❜   She insisted, choosing her words carefully.   ❛  I’ve been putting off introducing her to Ryan, though. She knows about him, I just don’t want to put him through some unnecessary TRAUMA if it doesn’t turn out well, you know? But at the same time, I haven’t been this serious about someone in years. It’s all very wonderful and stressful at the same time. ❜

     ❛  you had me so worried and for no reason too.  ❜ there is a reason, obviously. raja's concern is valid and unfortunately raine can't help but worry that HERSELF. it makes more sense now why raja wouldn't be talking about the relationship just yet if she was worried that it wouldn't LAST. raine can't help but immediately want to help her best friend, as always. she forces down the instinct. some parts of life cannot be manipulated however she sees fit. this is one of them. she DOES pour raja another cup of tea. sometimes a good drink and a small talk is all you need. no magic necessary.

“did you want someth –– …shit, this isn’t my sofa.” bleary blinking as she pushes herself off the couch. “apparently i’m immune to most things, but horse tranqs equal naptime.” she wavers slightly, still woozy. “uh, fuck. look, do me a favour? don’t call the cops. i promise i’ll be out of your hair in ten minutes. i just need…i’ll sit here for a bit.”
