I can't recommend a Google search of dirty blond(e) with safe search off. The images really weren't what I was after. ::Ponders when I turned safe search off and why::

I have the same bafflement with "his partner", ita. Are they already considering this a relationship? If they meant a fellow hunter, would "fellow hunter, colleague, friend" work better?

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
JA was blond here. But I would have qualified him as pretty brunet by the time he was Ben/Alec.
When he first arrived on Days, I would say he looked more like the first picture. By the end of his run, he had already turned dark. I always thought of Ben/Alec as brunet. But I can see the strands themselves being blond under the sun or light.

Now I'm fascinated by the rules of blond(e) and brunet(te). While I follow the convention established by the blond (male) and blonde (female), I had no idea there was a similar rule for brunet and brunette. I always learn here.

Because books.
Webster's 10th edition doesn't actually make a distinction between blonde for a woman and blond for a man. Most style guides I've seen usually break it down into blond as an adjective and blonde as a noun, though.
Brunet is just wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm probably being overhardcore here and forcing French rules on English, but I can't bear to see the feminised -ette on a male noun. I'm pretty sure it's a rare usage.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
So I'm guessing just about everyone knows the rumour that JA is directing episode 4, then, huh?
Well, I do now.
