Liiiiiiiisten…just let me be😂

Mikaelsons with a Curly Haired S/O

Did anyone want this? No. Are you about to get this? Yes, yes you are because I am currently sitting in a geology lab bored out of my mind and I have a tab of Omegle open and I’m going to be doing some things

For the sake of diversity, and myself being black. And knowing that the vampire diaries universe and the originals universe is white as hell somehow. Even though it’s in New Orleans and it should be diverse as hell, Julie Plecisn’t doing her job... ever. She not giving what it’s supposed to gave and neither are other fanfics because I know there are more black people who really should be putting their work out there. Myself included, but due to things happening (excuses I know) I will have fun till I get my groove back

Right. So I was in a silly goofy mood and my mind was jumping to conclusions, events, scenarios that really would’ve made the vampire community really pop off you know? And I thought ‘what about the originals’, because I really don’t like the Salvatore‘s, doing hair. Not just any hair but black natural hair. And so it is

I just want to start off by saying the mikaelsons would adore anyone with curly/kinky hair. It’s so fun to play with if you allow them to and there’s so much history to it… but not all of them are the shit when it comes to it

Let’s start off with Rebekah. Honestly, just looking at her I would assume that her track record is with all types of men. But me being me, she was really after that BBC with Marcel. I don’t know what Julie Plec was doing honestly, she was a mess. However for some reason I don’t really see Rebekah as being able to do black hair, whether that be natural or trying to put that into braids. I just can’t fathom it.

And that’s hard considering she was so damn ready to have Marcel’s kids and such. Like she could manage a puff and slick shit back but that’s about it, and probably baby hairs. If anything else she’d probably hire a professional

However, with a s/o she’s probably knows how to cut hair or shape someone up. She been out here with knives, so I know she knows… hopefully.

One thing I can bet with a s/o and Rebekah is that she’ll be stocked with every kind of oil known to man, so free hair care. Hell, she’ll even buy the Shea moisture company and hace it revamped to were it won’t fuck up your hair, just so you can have something all to yourself

Now with Kol, I feel like he knows what he’s doing. Like, with everyone in the Mikaelsons that would have had a black s/o besides Elijah, Kol is like second place as the black womans whore. Lemme state my case: We know his witchy ass before becoming a vampire was up in the islands and was in Haiti (very questionable why he was there being Haitian myself, but I digress) Besides eating good and helping in sly ways in the revolution (because as a lone wolf himself and always being treated last and not meaning shit, he’d hate it for others… but even more he loves seeing others suffer, so why not a whole bunch of old ass white men who don’t bathe and were waging wars too big for their britches?)

So I feel like Kol would be adequate at doing plaits, and helping detangle. Like if you’re ever over he puts the natural hair essentials in your shared bathroom, or just your bathroom. Tbh he’d probably scream at you for using Shea Moisture, Treeseme (put that shit away), and OGX. He gets you that expensive ass shampoo and conditioner that you need to keep refrigerated

Probably yells at you to put a bonnet on before you go to bed, but 8/10 he puts it on for you because you forget or sometimes are too lazy to.

But lets go back and imagine him helping you detangle after along day: His ass decided to be nice for once and make you a bath, all hot and steamy. Even used the lavender essential oils and bath salts. Bathroom has the ambient light settings all on. You’re relaxed as hell and getting your shoulders rubbed down by the originals and whatnot, his strong fingers are going in, and it’s a nice time. Until it hits you, you’re going to have to deal with your hair after this hectic day, but already knowing Kol unties your bun and uses the detangler on your ever growing natural hair products stash. Gently moving your head back, he uses the stray spray bottle to wet the hair down and carefully makes your hair into sections to make it easier. He presses the product into his hands and runs it through your hair and finger detangles for you, and the whole time he doesn’t even know it but this is the quietest he’s ever been with you. He’s so concentrated, he’s not even really paying attention to how you’re staring up at him working on you like that. I feel like Kol helping with your hair is a different type of binding time between you guys, something intimate since you allow him to do all that and he’s not fucking around

Now with Klaus it’s kinda hard to tell. Like we all seen this man with this crazy ass wonder bread exes… But then again he did help father Marcel (even though Plec put all that shit in the trash) so tbh I can see him with a poc as long as someone rewrites the whole spin off universe and gives a viable reason as to why and how Klaus fell in love with Caroline, and also Cami. All of that just gives me mad aryan vibes…. Yikes

But… being the tasteful person I am, this man would treat your hair right, but only if you do. Like we all know he’s a straight tsundere and is a maniac among other things and has his moments of sweetness, but like he wouldn’t go out of his way for your hair. Like yeah he’ll give you his card and let you do whatever bc were-vamp daddy has the means. But he doesn’t put as much focus on it. Like if you wear wigs that’s great, but I know in an argument he’d catch your sliding off and not say a damn thing. Won’t even say that your lace is on full display just to clown you and make a fool of yourself. In an argument he’d def come fro it tho, y’all know that this man is ruthless for many daddy issued reasons that were never fuckig solved in this dumbass white woman written se-- Anyways, lemme keep goin

So yeah, he won’t do too much. Like he knows what curly hair is, he knows what shrinkage is and actually thinks it’s cute. And on the basis of wigs he doesn’t care if you wear them or not, just keep your hair healthy and looking good. However, I would be lying if I didn’t think this man had a secret adoration for your natural hair

Like this man is a whole slut for some finger waves on your bald ass, like listen. You wake up looking a lil rough with him and tell him you’re heading out early for a hair appointment you schedule finally finding a good time between his bs and whatever you’re doing, and Marcel’s bc bc idk how that man stays lined up with the chaos going on. Truly.

But he gets over you leaving the bed a little too early for his liking and is like ok, probably thinking it was going to be another wig install or something else of that magnitude. But well, well, well, when you come back with a nice finger wave style and lashes on. This man’s proverbial tail is wagging like he hasn't seen you in months.

And he’s going to act like he hasn’t tasted you in months once he grabs you after his meetings end for the day. Good luck babes.

And it’s a waste too lowkey bc this man fuck syou so well that your hair is back to sqaure one in the next couple of hours, lashes flew off your face, whatever gloss that was on your lips is gone too. Those waves on your head became still water and then dried up into stalagmites. He’s a menace, and you’re even more of a menace to make sure to get the same cute again to get your back blown out by a were-vamp that’s acting like he’s in heat.

If yall were gonna fuck like that with the wig on… take that shit off unless you want to waste money on that wig and have him destray that expensive ass lace. He’s ripping that shit off and I hope you didn’t use Got2B on that either, if you did…. Fly high

Moral of the story… just get the no glue wigs. Because at the end he’ll have you like “Why am I being weird to you?? WHY YOU BEING WEIRD TO ME? You said you wanted to get married. When you had one arm on neck, one arm on frontal leg up. When you had one hand on frontal, hitting from the back with the leg up. FRONTAL OFF AND YOU WAS STILL HITTIN IT”

Klaus denies any claims

Now for Elijah™ he’s a black woman’s whore, don’t @me because you have no case whatsoever. He likes his horchata, and chocolate, and anything in between.

I feel like Elijah is an unsuspectingly well versed with curly hair, no matter how dense or coarse it may be. He knows what to do, and it leaves you questions…. How does this tall ass glass of 2% milk know what’s up??? (he had black beauties before, male, female, all of them doesn’t matter. This man been here waaaayyy too long to not have been a whore at some point)

I feel like Elijah is the type to help you take down your braids, even if they are microbraids (idk why you’d do that to yourself, but hey). Like its been 2 months and the braids got their moneys and whatnot, and it’s time for them to go. And there you are with an old blanket underneath you and a plastic, and with some scissors starting the process of the takedown. But before you even benign to unbraids you take photos of the cute braided bob you have now bc it’s a look. Then start the takedown

By the time half your head is done, your arms are tired. And here strolls in Elijah who was looking for you for a good minute, and he stops to take you in.

Yes you looked a little rough, yes you had dandruff in your hair bc the braids kept them up the shaft even as you kept up your wash routine with the braids in. And yes it did hurt to have your man see you like this, but the way you wouldn’t give a shit by the sheer amount of time it took for the take down…

I feel like mans gets lowkey excited to help you take them down when he sees this, but hides it well. Like, you never really ask for help with your hair as you usually do it yourself, or go to the shop (since he sets up the appointments for you on a regular basis, and pays. Eve makes sure you’re the only one in the shop and they pre-treat the hairs it won’t itch your scalp to hell). He stands there in the doorway and asks if you need help, and being exhausted you wordless nod and stretch your shoulders

If you look closely you can see the mikaelson is skipping up to take a seat behind you on the bed. And the thing is, Elijah is super gentle with the take down process and any braid he can’t detangle alone he’ll leave it and use the detangling conditioner on hand. And it’s honestly having someone do the take down for you.

As he’s going he asks what the new style will be, lowkey itching to see if he’ll get inches to pull later in the month or not… sue him

Because he’s like the biggest supporter of your hair knowing that he doesn’t want you to be overly reliant on it like it’s all you because it’s more than ahri, but not mor ethna ahir at the same time with the history behind it all (cornrows being maps, dreadlocks, all of that)

After taking them the rest down he helps himself to the hair ties and detangling conditioner nearby and sections it like a true king. With the spray bottle he goes to town making sure you don’t get soaked, and applied it all so gently you’d think your hair was extra extra fragile. Tbh he’s enamoured everything he gets to do this, it’s the way your girls spring back to life with some moisture and care. How they clump together and get all bouncy and start to frame your face more as more sections get done. And the smell??? Good lord.

And I feel like he’d be even more sly in other conditions. Like if you were doing it in another part of the house, like in the living room Eliah would ask you to shit on the carpet in between his legs, leaning right into his third leg…. Right

He’d be helping you with your twists and getting them in right after wash day when you’re yet again too damn tired. Because usually you’d be lazy af and put in like 8 twists in and call it a day, but this is Elijah we’re talking about. Somehow where you can’t flat twist nor make straight parts, he can…. Go laugh at yourself bc Madam CJ Walker is rolling in her grave somewhere else

He sits you down and grabs the rat tooth comb and just does it… like he uses the shine and jam gel first to lay down the square of hair and then checks to see if the cream/souffle will work with the gel (see if it clumps of not). Then sprays the area and mixes them in thoroughly and gets to twisting making sure the root is secure.

Mans knows what he’s doing and lowkey uses this as a form of therapy. It’s repetitive and has nice smells. You even got the arms of his dress shirt rolled up and shit…. Good job babe.

Out here getting straight parts, a nice nap, and gentle hands on you for the next few hours… heaven sent. And to top it all off he even oils your scalp for you AFTER HE PUTS ON THE MOOSE AND DOES YOUR BABY HAIRS (if you have any, not everyone has them)

Stop playin and marry the colonizer, or I will shiiieeetttt

🍯. Prologue

It's time y'all.

Let's talk about HOBIE & RACE

- It is not problematic to say that Hobie would display black solidarity by finding black women in specific attractive.

- It is not problematic to say that Hobie would possibly like a partner who could understand his experiences with racism.

- It is not problematic to say he would possibly like a partner who understands how to take care of his hair, or shares the same hair texture.

- It is not problematic to say that Hobie would find beauty in features specific to the black race - when we have been told those features are undesirable in every way for centuries.

We gotta talk about how Colorblindness is forced on Black Characters - Hobie in Specific

Y'all - it's time we have a VERY VERY overdue conversation about Hobie Brown and Race.

Because it is a necessary one.

Hobie Brown, The Black!Reader, & Representation -

aka Black people are not Colorblind - and neither is Hobie Brown -

[let Diane hop on the mic right quick Chile]

Stop acting like Black Fictional Characters would be colorblind.

Black people can't be colorblind, because our color is weaponized against us from birth. We HAVE to see race - because we have to protect ourselves and know our own history

So when we decide to make spaces specifically for us - spaces where black people and black women in specific can be desired and uplifted, I don't see why people have a problem with it.

Hobie Brown loves, yes. But he also lives in 1978. Racial segregation was outlawed in his country in 1965.

Hobie Brown loves, but he's also a black guy who grew up under racial segregation and racism. He's a black guy who fights cops.

The Writers made Spiderpunk - The Spiderperson who fights oppressive cops - black for a REASON.

The Writers chose to have a black guy save Miles for a REASON. To uplift black people.

Writers here on Tumblr made Black!Readers black for same reason.

If Black Lives Matter doesn't mean White Lives Don't Matter -

Then 'Hobie Brown finds black chicks especially attractive' DOESN'T mean 'white women are unattractive'. This isn't about y'all.

And even for the people that say Hobie would like ONLY black people - okay??? They can say that - it's a literal headcanon.

It's not true if you don't want it to be. You don't have to believe it.

But seeing Black people be protective of a black character, and making black content for other black fans - and then saying 'what - stop that. that's wrong. break this up so I can join'

BEFORE you question why they do it - NOT COOL.

That's like asking for more Captain America in Black Panther. Like ?????

That's like hearing a Riot Grrrl say 'All the women to the front!!' and going 'Uhh, all genders are equal, why can't the men stand in the front too?'

Like yes, all genders are equal. But also - This isn't about them. It's about representation.

Stop preaching equality when we're asking for representation.

Cause there are dozens, hundreds, of white characters who only have white on-screen romances.

And their fandoms do not write black!readers. They do not care enough to say 'oh the show isn't representing this, let us do it.'

The media nor the fandom represent black women. They are an afterthought, always.

And you never see posts for them like -

'Dean Winchester loves black women. Dean Winchester loves latinas -'

When it's a white character only dating white women, with xReaders that always imply whiteness, y'all never call for diversity. At all.

You wouldn't make this post for Miguel.

But when it's a black character and someone suggests they only date black women, or people begin to write xReaders that imply blackness instead of your default-

Suddenly you care about diversity.

Because the first time, you're not represented.

Because let's be honest. Let's be real. No one is writing Hobie x White!Reader. Barely anyone is writing Hobie x Latina!Reader.

It's the Black!Reader you have a problem with. Let's just say it.

Allow black people to have their space, without unfairly calling for 'diversity'.

(aka the right to access to black safe spaces, comfort characters, and labor)

Hobie is an attractive, educated black guy who fights and protects people from the aggressors we ourselves genuinely fear everyday.

He is a character like we've never had before. He has so much emotional weight to us.

Let us enjoy him as we please. We aren't hurting anyone else.

We're just not catering to you. We don't have to.

If a black person wants to center Hobie's love on Black people, they have the right.

And I'm not saying you can't write him with a race neutral or even a White!Reader. Go ahead and write that if you want but just know-

1) If you want to write him with an explicitly white or non-black reader - you should approach the topic of race. You should approach and mention the cultural differences. Him going through racism. Don't erase that because you think it makes your writing ugly or sad.

And if you don't put it in, your erasing the reality and black experience because you find something wrong or uncomfortable about it.

2) If you want to write a race neutral reader - make sure they're really race neutral. Don't include details about hair texture, hairstyle, or skin color.

3) If you are asking black writers for requests - do not get mad if they make the request Black.

You cannot get mad at a black writer for interjecting their own experience when writing about a black character. You're basically asking them to strip their blackness from their writing so you can enjoy it more.

Why should they have to second guess and dial back their blackness when we're expected to do that everywhere? If they want to take a break, and write Black!Readers they can.

3) Understand that the black people are going to keep their safe spaces. And they're going to keep Hobie in their corner.

Because honestly, and I'm going to put this brazenly:

Hobie Brown as a character - and what he represents - means more to black fans than it does nonblack fans.

Does that mean he doesn't matter to y'all? No, not at all. Hobie absolutely holds real emotional weight and meaning to you on multiple levels.

But please understand, for black people - we connect to Hobie on an emotional, often trauma-fueled front.

One that you'll never understand.

There is a level that we connect with him on that nonblack people can't. As a dark skinned black guy, a black guy with natural hair, an alt black guy,

As a black guy who has canonically faced police brutality on-screen

To you, this screenshot is most likely Hobie flipping the camera off, edgy and punk. It's funny, tongue in check. ACAB and all that.

To us, this screenshot is of Hobie - a low income black guy - being physically restrained by police and refusing to stop even when they're taking his mugshot. It's a black guy openly flipping off the police and fighting them off and refusing to go down no matter how much they beat him and he's winning YES

After so many videos over SO many years of cops doing that to black men and them.. not winning.

And them just dying and us having to watch. And add another name to list.

When you see his laces, you most likely think ACAB.

When we see his laces, we see that he's a black man who took on a cop and lived to tell the tale. Which is a RARITY.

Because many of them lose the battle.

For us, the context and connection are completely different.

Fanfiction may just be a way for you to kiss up on random characters or comfort yourself, but for us - that's not the case.

For us, fanfiction is a way to show our experiences and features in a media and world that has collectively ignored them. Shunned them, called them ugly.

Maybe make a post or send an ask to a creator - and ask what Black!Readers mean for them, why they find it important.

Hobie Brown likes Black Girls.

He finds them beautiful. He likes wide lips and broad noses and kinky hair. He loves melanin, and brown skin in the sunlight, and seeing a them in a silk bonnet in the morning.

He loves not having to explain his culture, sharing coconut oil and shea butter. He likes seeing waist beads. He likes people who speak AAVE, with twang in their talk.

He likes ghetto black girls with the acrylic nails. He likes Stallions 6 foot tall. He likes masc girls. And fem ones. He loves black nonbinary people because we do not have to cosign to colonialist ideas of gender. And he loves him some black men too - a good fade will make him go crazy, he loves men with long locs and pretty smiles.

Hobie Brown finds the beauty in Black People that have been erased and demonized again and again by White Society.

Hobie Brown holds blackness dear. And he wants black people to do well.

Hobie Brown loves Black People. Hobie Brown loves Black Girls.

And that's on, what?

This has been a PSA from Diane Pastors. Y'all stay blessed out there 😌💗

Anyway what y'all wearing to carnival since we going to carnival and cropover and labor day with Hobie and bringing out all the flags. 🇧🇧🇧🇧 I'm bringing him to cropover in Barbados yeah I said it we're all going to carnival with him.

so can we start hunting down white liberals now or what
