I need to buy a really big hat to keep every inch of my skin away from the sun

Me: oh, our news anchor has lots of freckles!

Them: yeah I wish she wouldn't wear so many sleeveless outfits, yikes

Me, a ginger: ..................oh.

Me later, going out in 90° weather:

Luke, upon seeing Mara come inside from training, beet-red from the sun: “You forgot your sunscreen again, didn’t you?”

Mara: *glares at Luke*

Luke: “I’ll grab the bacta gel, dear.”

Dear makeup companies,

Please make products for redheads. I just spent a solid 5 minutes staring at the color “options” for a brow gel only to get home and discover the only one remotely close to my hair color looks unnatural and awful.

Sincerely,

Someone who’s sick of wasting money on products because they’re all designed for blondes and brunettes

This one’s for the redheads/gingers/carrot tops!! Find out which colors are most flattering to wear as a redhead, and whether or not we should ACTUALLY wear the color red... This is your redhead color guide!! What to wear as a redhead :)

People don't fucking realize what shit redheads go through. Y'all treat us as nothing more than objects, y'all make derogatory jokes /constantly/, y'all belittle everything we do

Redheaded women are seductresses, redheaded men are the devil incarnate

We aren't allowed to be smart

We aren't allowed to have opinions

We aren't allowed to have anything less than perfect hair and skin (despite skin problems being connected to being a redhead)

We're supposed to do nothing more than just look good

It's exhausting. I'm so tired of the jokes. I'm so tired of the hypersexualization. I'm so tired of never being taken seriously just because of my MC1R gene.

Fuck.

ABSURD THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU'RE A REDHEAD.

Some time ago I accompanied my mother to the hairdresser, and while I waited, I started peacefully reading a book.

At least until a middle-aged lady came in and sat next to me.

Lady *after staring at my hair for a long time*: Can I give you some advice?

Me *stopping reading, curious*: Sure.

Lady: Don't take it badly, the color is anyway came beautifully, but don't make yourself redhead, next time. People with that color REALLY have a horrible reputation.

Me *vaguely funnied*: You don't say...

The hairdresser *arriving in that moment *: Hey, Mara! Have you seen what beautiful hair Erika has? Oh, if only there was a hair dye capable of replicating her color!

The lady *turning to me, suddenly pale*: Aren't... Aren't they dyed?

Me *who in the meantime had started reading again, incredibly amused by her shitty figure*: Nope.
