I would say, if you're going to do it, go to a salon; speaking from experience, the manic panic route leaves you with blue pillowcases. Which gets old after a while. That said, i miss having blue or purple hair, and wish i could have it now.
I really like the way the Swan's friend's hair turned out, so I'll probably get the name of the person who did hers. Cause yeah... if I'm gonna do this, I don't want to half-ass it.
I'll 2nd the Salon, at least for the 1st time, especially if its a tricky colour - as opposed to "whatever colour the gunk in this bright blue bottle comes out as when put in my hair for 8 hours blue".
Do it! You'd look wonderful!
However, also know that its an upkeep commitment, and that learning to maintain it yourself will save you loads of time and money, in the end.
The only reason I'm not currently blue, is that my 'hawk is too short for it. I miss it - even if it would cover up the metallic silver streaks I'm developing.
Spoken like a person who doesn't think Morrigan is an irredeemable *bitch*.
Yeah, Alistair. He's heroic, adorable, funny, romantic, has a core of solid awesomeness that peeks through the dorky exterior, and an ethical base that doesn't consist of bitching and whinging every time you help somebody out even when it serves your agenda.
Alistair: Gives you a rose and talks about licking lamposts and flying gryphons. Morrigan: Gives you lip and has sex with your boyfriend so she can give birth to his elder-god demon-baby.
I can see why you'd prefer one over the other. But let's face it... you know she's a snake, right?
But don't worry. You're not alone. The Fox thinks Morrigan is the bomb, too. *coughs*
No, no, no, you misunderstand me. Morrigan IS an unredeemable bitch. And she has the crazy eye.
Which makes her the sexiest (relationship capable) NPC in the game. But she's a horrible, horrible, bitchy, manipulative person and she only manages "awesome love interest" in my playthrough, oddly, because she leaves. Its far easier to romanticize the Morrigan-shaped-hole than Morrigan herself.
(True on several levels, I guess. *badumching*)
Leliana is the real relationship material, there, if Kevin were a Grey Warden. And besides, I've stopped hooking up with snakes.
Alistair - while by far the best love interest for the non-female-seeking types in the game - strikes me as "what if a Judd Aptow character got class levels?" He's Seth Rogan in plate mail. I don't get it. Maybe because I never managed to get far enough in his bromance to find his hidden depth, I didn't see his redeeming qualities, but he's kinda irritating.
Um... are we talking about the same Alistair? Cause I don't see the Aptow/Rogan connection at all. He's neither crude nor bumbling. If I were to compare him to a media character, he'd be more... the Flash (Wally West style).
Side comment from the Swan: He hits the Jocelyn button (from J. Carrey). And a side-side comment from me: That's the best lure anyone has ever given me for reading the Kushiel books.
Also... I guess I've never really gotten into the crazy=sexy thing. I thing 'treat you right and value you as a person' is a lot more sexy.
He's totally bumbling, not so much on the crude, but he's a whiny manchild that keeps trying to dodge responsibility. I mean, its good to have shield bash in your party, and he's funny, but... I don't get the love for him. I feel guilty about forcing him into a loveless marriage, though.
Ahhh, Jocelyn. Let me count the ways I hate you and your inexplicable mood-swings and self-loathing and religious banter. He's a black mark in those books... or at least as far as I could get in the series.
There's "I'm a mature functional adult and wow, I could see myself spending the rest of my life with this smart, funny and sexy person I respect and cherish and with whom I want to take on the world" sexy and then there's "this could be the best six hours of my life, if i live" sexy. Also, and this is applicable with Morrigan, theres "i hate this person so much I want to make sweet, sweet love to them" sexy.
The last one is important, because I once described my Grey Warden's - who kinda hated humans - reaction to Morrigan as "The only person who hated Morrigan more then he did was Morrigan herself. And that gave them something in common."
If it makes you feel better, my Commander Shepard would totally have just spaced her as a liability and moved on.
Oh, and you're dead on about the Flash thing... early Wally West, though. When he was still a tool and hadn't grown up at all. Back when even Superman was all "there's no way this kid can follow in Barry's footsteps." I sense that part of the different takes is that I never managed to get him really friendly, as he's too prone to hissy-fits early in the game.
Yep! I am writing fic, but i'm at work right now--if you look at my LJ, it's all there and all unlocked (so easiest way might be to log out and look at my LJ). It's all been Arthur/Eames Inception stuff, and in the next couple of days i'll be posting an Arthur/Eames Inception/Brick/Rocknrolla crossover. :D
