GE Saeran wouldn't put much thought into this at first. But it is very undeniable to say that red hair plays a huge role in his mental health and his perception of himself. You having your red hair isn't much of a bother to him at first glance. You have a wonderful, beautiful shade of red framing your cheeks, and he wants you to keep it because his hair color was taken away from him.
He bleached his hair as fast as he could because he saw his brother every time he looked in the mirror, and that's not something you want to see when you believe your brother abandoned you to live a better life because he saw you as a waste of space. It became something his brother took away from him, the very essence of grief because he continued to lose more and more of his autonomy the longer he's been by himself. It's not easy to look at himself in the mirror, but it gets a little easier every day the more he tries.
He's not sure if he'll ever go back to red hair, but he won't rule it out since he never wants to say that he won't do something. He knows that if he tried it and it didn't work out, he would feel better because he tried instead of having pushed it away. But that's just how it works for him, and when it comes to you, it's different.
You are not a byproduct of what he's lost, you are his future and what he sees in front of him. The only time you may experience difficulties in your relationship with him is if you have long hair.
I've always imagined that his mother had long hair, and regardless of your gender presentation, if you have long red hair, there is a strong possibility that you may set him off during a bad day through no fault of your own. It would bring up that rather difficult conversation about his mother that he doesn't avoid, but doesn't necessarily readily dive into, either.
You're not that woman, you would never do anything horrible to him because you love him as much as he loves you, but we can't control the way our brains perceive past trauma and possible threats. There is no way to stop our brain from perceiving a threat where there may not be one. It's just how our body responds to fear stimuli.
This is the only situation where I can see anyone having a problem in their relationship with Saeran... but it's not something that can't be handled with time. You just need to put the work in to talk about the grief. He's been doing all he can to make sure he faces his past so he can move forward, and this would just be a reminder that the battle to move forward doesn't just stop one day. It continues every day and we can't stop it anymore than we can stop the hammer of time.
It keeps going, and as frustrating as it sounds, it's a battle worth having. He wouldn't want you to feel like you should cut your hair for his sake, especially if it's something that makes you happy, so that is why you have to talk this through and figure out the best way to face episodes if they arise. What can he do to help himself, and what can you do to help him? What can you do together? Easy peasy once you put the work in!
@annoyinglyshinycherryblossom asked on this post what the hair colors were for the people on the lockets.
Locket hair colors
The locket designs are done with their hair, so here's an image from one of the design books (French translation):
Emile C. -- very yellow-blond
Oliver A. -- very pale, kind of platinum blond
Alex B. -- deep ginger/red
Cloudia/Claudia P. -- blue-black or blue-gray, which is apparently the typical Phantomhive hair color. The twins are supposed to have this color of hair, too.
Molly/Mally G. -- brown, perhaps a bright brown
Gilbert D. -- silver gray
Harry E. -- dark grey or possibly blue-black/blue-gray. Looks a lot like Phantomhive hair....
(Mod UT: Aldous Huxley is one of my all-time favorite authors... but I'm not entirely sold on using Huxley as a first name. I'm warming up to it, though.)
How would Horrortale Sans react to being a father for the first time ?
You picked the guy who wants to be a father the most out of all my guys!!
Bear has dealt with years of absolute hell, and now that he’s safe and sound on the surface, and had so much progress with his recovery and memory issues, he just wants to have a big family. He wants the domestic life so bad. However - it’s not something he talks about a lot. He wants it so bad but he’s almost accepted that it probably won’t happen. With his wonky magic, it would be hard to conceive and plus - he wouldn’t want to pressure his partner for kids if they didn’t want them.
If it still happened despite of all that and he did end up having a child with his partner, he would be over the moon ecstatic. During the pregnancy (or adoption process if that’s the route that was taken) he would read so many parenting books and he would really work hard on remembering things better - the date, day of the week, what the weather report said yesterday, is all stuff he would try to remember in an exercise to hopefully remember other stuff without his notebook. His notebook will always be there if he needs it, but he really works hard on not using it. If his partner is pregnant - he’s the best damn supporter. If he’s adopting - he’s very involved in the process.
Basically anyone could see that he’s so ready for this.
When it comes to actually having his child? Man is so soft. He just wants them to have the best childhood. He wants them to be safe and warm and happy, never having to worry about the stuff he did. He’s a very gentle parent and very supportive of his child. It is a learning curve, of course, and he does still rely on his notebook - but he has a family of his own now. That’s all he’s wanted for a long time and he’s never been happier, despite the bumps he might run into in the rocky road that is parenting. He just wants to be there and he cannot wait to watch them grow up.
I am genuinely sorry but I don't think I can. I truly don't want to make you upset but whenever someone asked me to draw their character, I ended didn't do them and just leave it alone and I felt guilty when I do that. Again, I'm very sorry and please don't be upset :(
Here ^^ ! This is how I imagine them together XD. I mean... whoever decides to go with a unicorn profile pic in her situation in the game must be something else.
(Although I did personally put an angry Bakugo profile pic)
