white coded fics be like: “he runs his fingers through your long silky hair, massaging your scalp until you fall into a deep slumber”
my black ass, my head wrap, and my bonnet:
i can’t find words for my anger right now so here’s a collection of thoughts that share the sentiment
Liiiiiiiisten…just let me be😂
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

Juneteenth is about Black people who were officially technically supposed to be freed from enslavement. Nobody else. Nothing else. It's not a POC day. It's not a "freedom for all" day. It's Black folk, Black culture, Black emancipation, SPECIFICALLY. Any other observation for Juneteenth is gentrification.
Zuko is 100% Hakoda’s favorite of the gaang.
Hakoda was a textbook Cool Parent and on top of that he was a single dad raising the only waterbender in the south pole and Sokka (who is wonderful, but you cannot convince me he would have been easy to raise). We know that Katara and Sokka love and respect him and everything, but we know that Katara has absolutely no qualms about talking back to him and we know Katara and Sokka fought constantly. Hakoda’s the type of parent that would let his kids call him by his first name in an argument.
Enter the gaang. Aang is an absolute sweetheart and is, of course, super nice to Hakoda at all times. But he’s also been raised with the mentalities of ‘adults are your friends’ and ‘you’re the avatar and have more responsibility and importance than all adults combined.’ It’s kind of hard to be casual around the Avatar who is also dating your daughter no matter how sweet he is. Toph has absolutely no respect for authority and she likes Hakoda because he’s not overbearing or shitty like her parents, but she’s an independent child who doesn’t want a dad figure, thank you very much.
Then we have Zuko: aside from the whole ‘helped bust him out of prison’ thing, let’s be real, this boy would be the favorite. Hakoda was a cool parent and subsequently ended up with two kids who love him but are also The Product Of Cool Parenting Wild Kids. Zuko on the other hand was raised in the ways of Respect Your Elder or Perish By Their Hand (which wasn’t good by any means) and as a result is Level 20 polite and respectful to deserving authority/dad figures. This kid would ‘yes sir’ and ‘thank you, sir’ all over the place and Hakoda would be like “a teenager with manners??? sign me the fuck up????”. Not to mention Zuko spent as much time on the sea as Hakoda did and has all that naval knowledge and of course there’s the whole Ending the War upon becoming Firelord thing.
Like, Zuko would spend time with Hakoda and be his people-pleasing self and Hakoda would turn to his kids like “why is your friend more polite to me than you guys are?” (in a joking way) and they would be like “FUCK Zuko you gave him standards.” And at first Zuko would be super fucking anxious around the man for several obvious reasons, but eventually they’d all get to the point where Sokka’s getting messenger hawks that say ‘I’m at your house and if you’re not here in 10 minutes me and Hakoda are starting dinner without you -Firelord Zuko’
(meanwhile Hakoda tells Iroh that his nephew is just so gd respectful and polite and Iroh is like “are we talking about the same boy? you were not here for his banishment period.”)
the entire situation with that white woman asking quinta to put a school shooting storyline in abbott elementary is a reminder that it is not black people's responsibility to save yall.
don't believe that magical negro ahit you see in the media. stop expecting black people to do things everyone when they are the ones that had to fight for their own.
AN: This AN used to say something SOOO different LMAO but I wanted to update it. I’ve only got Shuri x Reader stuff tagged on this masterlist. If you’re looking for Erik ‘Killmonger’ Stevens or M’baku fics, search their name x reader in my works and they should come up. But tbh most of those are from YEARS ago and I really don’t like their quality anymore, hence them no longer being listed. I don’t really have any rules, I’m a student so pestering me about updates really isn’t gonna result in that update coming any sooner. My requests are always open, but I don’t always do them and they’re mainly just there for inspo. With all that being said, hope you enjoy my dear <3 Updated: 05/03/23
