Botox in Your 20s | The New Age of Prevention—Expert Advice from Kane Medical Aesthetics

Is your 20s too early for Botox—or could it be the smartest move for youthful skin? At Kane Medical Aesthetics, we’re seeing a new generation take proactive control of aging by turning to preventative Botox long before fine lines ever appear. This shift isn’t about vanity; it’s about strategy. While Botox has long been associated with smoothing out existing wrinkles, its use as a preemptive measure is gaining ground. Subtle, precise injections in your 20s can actually “train” facial muscles to relax, helping to delay the onset of deeper expression lines. In fact, starting early often means less Botox is needed later in life, and results can look more natural over time. But is it right for everyone? Our Calgary-based experts at Kane Medical Aesthetics always take a personalized approach. We assess facial structure, lifestyle, and skin condition to determine whether preventative Botox is a smart step—or if it can wait. Youthful skin is a gift—but keeping it that way can be a choice. With professional guidance and a light touch, Botox in your 20s could be your skin’s best-kept secret.

Can’t believe that you’re talking about harry having a hair transplant. You’re so brave! So many fans don’t want to admit it. 💀 Bro had a very evident receding hairline.

I've been of the understanding he got a hair transplant since he shaved his head lol like homeboy wasn't exactly subtle (and having your mom come to your defense isn't the move of someone who DIDN'T... just saying)

I definitely messaged the gc like "how long until I get hate" but like here's the thing!!! He did in fact get the transplant! And you know what? It's fine!! Celebs and non-celebs get work done!! That isn't a reflection of anything other than the fact they got work done. In this case the work looks good and if he's happy (which I hope he is) then good for him.

How Captain Marvel Discovers Batman's Secret Identity

Batman give so much of him for his acts, in bruce wayne or in batman, he is a fabulous actor. his posture, voice, microexpressions idk, everything humanly possible and impossible, he did to keep people as far away as possible from connecting his masks.

but there wasn't a 100% guarantee that no one would notice… well, he was very careful with the most obvious and even the least obvious things, but he wasn't such an idiot to think that no one would ever, under any circumstances, would find out about him. This has happened before, my god, Tim found out in the most unlikely way he could think of at the time. still, he was in shock. He was in the meeting room with some other heroes waiting for the time to start, and there he was facing Captain Marvel…

"What did you just say?" batman asks, he wanted to hang himself right there when he realized that there was a tremor in the back of his voice.

The captain's eyes widen, almost panicked.

"oh... i didnt mean nothing by that! its just... I don't want to offend you! I just couldn't help but notice that you have lip fillers… like, relax! It's super discreet. I only noticed it probably because I can see the needles' holes, even though it's half healed. and-- Is that why you didn't come to the last meeting? It's recent, right? I know you weren't like this the last time I saw you. but like, zero judgement! I know how society judges men in these scenarios, I think it's super cool that your masculinity is strong and resistant to criticism- Not that you will receive criticism! again, it's SUPER discreet, I only noticed because I notice things like this occasionally… I think."

he was falling over himself with his words, clearly nervous because he commented on what he noticed without meaning to, perhaps out loud… batman swears it felt like he wasn't even talking to him, whispering to himself "lip fillers?" Batman doesn't know that this was little Billy, confused by the information that Solomon dropped into his mind.

Batman didn't try to stop the babble of words that came from the other hero's mouth, still in shock from the fact that he had noticed that he had had a cosmetic procedure. Well, it's not like he could appear like Bruce Wayne out there with his face all crumpled up from taking so much beating, he needed the procedures to continue with a playboy face… he just never expected anyone to recognize such a minimal change. since he only carried out the procedures in a super subtle way... but marvel noticed and not just that.

The captain's eyes squinted, now falling on the bat's chin and jaw.

"Is that botox…?"

They look at each other in pure silence. Marvel adjusted his posture, uncomfortable with the eye contact.

"I'm going to keep my mouth shut, sir, Batman sir, don't worry. No one will notice anything. It's really cool, by the way, you're like a jewel, a very polished and.. jovial one" and he then walked away to sit on the chair more as far away as possible.

Well, it wasn't the end of the world yet… Batman tried to ignore it. He tried not to die of paranoia over the fact that someone had noticed such a small detail. Everything was going to be fine, the chances of the captain also knowing that Bruce Wayne recently had lip fillers and some botox were minimal… but not zero.

He really tried not to be so paranoid… but it was difficult, and he ended up distracted during a gala and got kidnapped, because of course he was. and of course that for some reason it was doctor sivana working with lex luthor, of course then captain marvel got involved in the rescue. OF COURSE.

He tried to avoid eye contact immensely, giving all his attention to Superman, who was also there. Clark was confused, he thought maybe it was because he hadn't revealed his identity to Marvel yet. But he really needed to go if he wanted to get information for his article later, so he left Bruce Wayne in Captain Marvel's hands with an apologetic expression.

Bruce tried to be positive, and it screamed a lot of things. He tried to think that there he was a playboy and it was super common for him to also have some cosmetic procedures on his face, maybe Marvel wouldn't assimilate him and Batman like that out of nowhere… but then he soon remembered that Marvel could see the needle holes, the microscopic, healed holes from the needles… it didn't take two seconds of looking into each other's faces for the captain to turn white paper pale.

His mouth opened like a dead fish's, and Batman knew he saw it. fuck.

they stared at each other for a few minutes. silent and harrowing minutes. They were literally frozen in that moment for so long that Superman came back with the information he wanted, with a super worried expression because he didn't understand what happened there.

The captain, noticing the new presence, realized that he had been in shock for too long already.

"ahm… so, bruce-- sir, bruce wayne… sir… sir wayne. mister…? ah-- um… I'm going home… in silence… and I I'll keep silent… ok? again, it's super discreet and you don't have to worry, ok? Maybe a little, but relax. Superman, sir. bye..."

and he flies away in a beam of shame, perhaps. Superman looks at Bruce with palpable confusion.

bruce then takes a deep breath and looks at clark

"can you tell I have lip fillers…?"

and clark goes pale.

"no…" "just a little bit…?"

Bruce snorts in displeasure. the kids will never let him forget it if they ever find out. They can't find out...

But they probably will because Damian has a strange friendship with Captain Marvel's Tiger, of course.

[frownyalfred]

Bruce with a 10 step skin care routine like pattrick bateman so he doesn't look busted every day (going through sewers not being great for your skin and all)

He doesn't smoke, he stays out of the sun, and he's at peak physical fitness. His skin is probably amazing. Except for when people throw chemicals at him or he's dunking himself in sewers, etc. Try explaining acid marks to an esthetician lol. Or explaining why his Botox failed at week 5 (Poison Ivy or Scarecrow created some sort of toxin that interacted with it, somehow)

With his budget, he's got medical grade skincare for a multiple step routine every night. And then there's probably laser resurfacing, Botox, PRP injections, etc. Some subtle fillers where he broke a cheekbone badly or stress was causing him to look gaunt.

Everyone Wants You - But You Look At Me Like You Don’t Know Why

Micheal B. Jordan x Reader

Summary - you wrote the script. he starred in it. now Michael b. jordan is looking at you like you’re the plot twist he didn’t see coming.

You knew the night was going to be weird the second he found you hiding behind a potted plant.

It wasn’t even a classy potted plant. Just some sad little ficus next to the ice sculpture of a phoenix which, according to your last stolen glimpse of the press materials, represented “the rebirth of modern cinema.”

Sure. Whatever. You were just the writer. You didn’t get invited to this party so much as tolerated at it.

“Don’t take this the wrong way,” a smooth voice said behind you, “but if you were trying to go full invisible, you picked the only corner that’s actually lit.”

You turned around and there he was.

Michael.

B.

Jordan.

Standing in front of you like a choice you weren’t ready to make.

He had the kind of face that made you nervous not because he was famous, but because he always looked too human in a room full of people pretending not to be. The undone bow tie. The gold ring he fidgeted with when no one was looking. The subtle, worn-in weariness of someone who’d smiled too long and was trying to remember how to stop.

And if I was trying to disappear?” you said.

He smiled, and you hated that you felt it somewhere deep, like a secret.

“I’d say you’re doing better than me. I’ve had three interviews and two glasses of champagne, and I still can’t feel my face.”

“Is that because of the press… or the Botox?”

He laughed, low and real, the kind that made your brain glitch.

“Oh, she’s got jokes.”

“She’s got deadlines.”

You tried to edge past him, but he didn’t move. He just tilted his head like he was reading a line you didn’t know you were saying.

“I liked your script,” he said, too softly. “It felt… true. Messy. In a good way.”

You blinked.

It shouldn’t mean so much. But it did. Not because he was a star, but because he meant it. You could tell. And when someone like Michael says something like that to someone like you, someone who wrote this whole thing in the margins of their own life, it stays.

“I didn’t think anyone actually read it,” you said.

He shrugged. “I had to know what kind of person writes a breakup scene that raw and then ends the movie with no resolution.”

“It’s realistic.”

“It’s cruel,” he said, grinning. “But I liked it.”

You didn’t reply. You were too busy watching him, wondering how he managed to look at people like they were the only one in the room. Like this whole glittering party was a backdrop, and you were the scene.

He finally asked, “You want to get out of here?”

You stared. “Is that… like… code for something?”

He laughed again. “No. I mean literally. There’s a rooftop upstairs no one knows about. You look like you need air. And I-” he paused, thoughtful. “I’d rather talk to someone who doesn’t need anything from me.”

That’s how you ended up here, fifteen floors above the party, wind tangling in your hair, your heels dangling from your fingertips.

He stood across from you now, one hand in his pocket, the other holding a sweating glass of whatever he grabbed on the way up. Bourbon, maybe. The city glittered behind him like it was trying to outshine him and failing. Spectacularly.

“I Googled you,” he said casually, like he wasn’t dropping a small bomb into the conversation.

You raised an eyebrow. “And?”

He smirked. “Not much came up. One blurry photo from a film festival three years ago. A weird fan forum post that called you ‘criminally underrated.’ And a blog with zero posts.”

“That blog has a great title, though,” you said. “It’s called Please Don’t Look at Me, I’m Thinking.”

He laughed again. God, why did he laugh so much around you?

“Why so private?” he asked eventually.

You shrugged. “Why so famous?”

“Touche.”

Silence stretched. But it wasn’t uncomfortable. It was charged. Warm. Like you both knew there was something bigger under all of this but neither of you wanted to tip the balance yet.

He finally broke it with a quiet: “Do you always run from attention?”

You looked out at the city. “Only the kind I don’t trust.”

“And do you trust me?”

Your breath caught.

You looked at him then — really looked — and saw something unguarded in his eyes. Not a trap. Not an angle. Just… tired hope.

“I don’t know yet,” you whispered.

And he smiled like that was the best answer you could’ve given.

Italia with Price and his rivals daughter! But they run into his ex wife 👀

Of all the places that he could have run into the terror of his past, John had not expected to see his ex in Italy. Of all the places in the world that had been beautiful and enticing to his ex, Italy had to be the place he saw her again. It was beginning to feel like a twisted play created by fate, to have his ex-wife who didn’t give a shit about anything but his money, here.

While he was with his beautiful and young omega, the darling in his life that had wanted to get away for the weekend, so was the wicked witch of the east. It was almost enough to make the deadly alpha call a hit out on his ex just for the peace of mind.

Regardless of how he felt about the woman or her presence in Italy while John was with you, the appearance of his ex-wife hadn’t rattled you. Not in the slightest, not in the way his ex-wife had likely hoped for.

No. You, John’s darling little omega, had smiled charmingly at his ex-wife and sidled up to John with a lightness to your eyes. You were the adorable future Mrs. John Price, wearing a little sundress under the Italian sun, giving his wife a taste of envy.

“I’ve heard so much about you from John,” you greeted his ex-wife with a beaming smile, flawlessly stirring her annoyance, “you don’t look nearly as haggard as John mentioned.”

Haggard, the subtle dig at his ex-wife who hadn’t aged with grace—clearly using the money John had given her for botched Botox. There was an air of superiority hanging around his ex-wife, the arrogance that made her feel entitled to his money. Although when you made the comment about her haggard appearance, that guarded expression had fallen and was replaced with a scowl.

“Isn’t Italy just so beautiful?” Your hand slid up John’s chest, that engagement ring sparkling on your finger. “I told John I would’ve been happy with a weekend in the mountains, but he insisted on Italy.”

Your way of charming goading was getting to his ex, even if it was the truth through and through. It was one of the things John adored about you, the fact that you would’ve been happy camping for the weekend. But instead he whisked you away to Italy, because he knew you would’ve truly appreciate the venture.

“You’re getting married again? To the young one-“ his ex-wife had started with the scowl, with the accusatory tone, and like he expected you’d not batted an eye.

“Practice makes perfect right?” You tilt your head, your beautiful eyes trailing away from her to John, gazing at him with an intense streak of desire and want. “Since the first was such a fuck up-“

Tension rolled off his ex-wife at your comment, and that scowl on her face aged her terrible. You were in your own little world, wrapped up in John and everything he was. You didn’t spare her a second thought, not when his hand slid down your back to your ass in that sweet little sundress—ending the conversation between you and his ex-wife in a single moment.

He was ignorant to her presence, captivated only by the Italian coast and his sweet little mate pressed against him.

[zot3-flopped]

I know looks are objective but in my opinion Taylor looked good until recently. She’s a rich woman so ofc she had little procedures like her eyes, a bit of botox, etc but everything looked subtle and elegant it added to her looks not overpowered her natural features but now…I don’t know if she changed her doctor or her aesthetic but it’s not doing her any favors

She looked pretty until about six months ago, when she blurred the delicate lines of her face with excessive filler.

∇ ☼ ൠ ♡ with Dickie Bird and Wally? I’m the same anon that sent in the Guy and Jason one too, could I be ⚡️ anon?

Wally is under the cut! 💖

Dick

∇ - old age/aging headcanon

Ages the least gracefully of his family. Absolutely inherited his adopted fathers proclivity for anti-ageing products. Hair dye, moisturisers, lil bit of botox here, and there. He's down with the kid too, totally, what do you mean nobody wears these anymore the tiky-toky store says it's fire🔥

It's 2045 Dick, nobody uses TikTok anymore. - Dick didn't even get a real smart phone that allowed him to download things like TikTok until the fad was over.

☼ - appearance headcanon

He wears lip gloss balm. He thinks it's subtle, but it's very noticeable. It's berry flavoured.

ൠ - random headcanon

Little bit more on ageing; Dick loses a lot of his flexibility by the time he's like 40 at best. It's not so much an age thing, and he's continuously working out, stretching, all the stuff you need to do to maintain that sort of stuff.

The problem is his line of work. Every injury, every stab or gunshot, every broken bone wears away at his muscles and tissues, and one day it will hit him like a ton of bricks that he'll never get that elasticity back.

♡ - romantic headcanon

He's bad at romance. He's charming as hell, knows all the right things to say, all the ways to touch and tease a person to make them fawn over him.

But once he bags a partner, he's bad at the gestures. Like, he's not a bad boyfriend (ignoring his previous cheating scandals) as far as heroes go. He does his best to make time for them, to care for them, and keep them safe. But he's not really a candlelight and flowers romantic.

But that's okay because there are plenty of people out there who don't want or need that in an s/o.

Wally

∇ - old age/aging headcanon

After retirement, Wally grows his hair out. He kept it on the shorter side (above the ears anyway) so that it wouldn't be an issue while running, but once that's not an issue, he might as well grow out the bronze mane he's always wanted before he starts to loose it all anyway.

☼ - appearance headcanon

During the summer time, when Wally gets out in the sun, his skin becomes more freckle than skin. They're everywhere. Sometimes there's a direct line across his face where his hood/mask sits, the bottom half being dense with freckles, and the top half looking normal.

ൠ - random headcanon

Is rarely asked to drive/doesn’t like to drive because his road rage is notorious. He’s a different man when he’s behind the wheel during a traffic jam.

♡ - romantic headcanon

You’ll know when the line between having sex and making love with Wally has been crossed because he slows down. Saviours, every agonisingly slow moment with you, every touch, every sound, every sight. And though every second feels like a lifetime to him, it will never be enough.

How Does Botox Affect Facial Recognition and Emotional Expression?

Botox is widely known for its ability to smooth fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. While its cosmetic benefits are well established, Botox also brings subtle—but significant—changes to how the face moves. As a result, researchers and practitioners have started exploring its impact on two nuanced aspects of human interaction: facial recognition and emotional expression.

Both are vital to how we connect with others and understand social cues. So what happens when facial movement is limited? Does Botox influence how others perceive us—or how we perceive others?

The Role of Facial Muscles in Emotional Expression

Our faces are equipped with dozens of muscles that help us express emotions. Smiling, frowning, raising an eyebrow—all of these motions communicate how we feel without saying a word. The contraction of specific muscles sends emotional signals both outward and inward, which is why you might feel happier after smiling, even when you’re not in a good mood.

Botox, by design, inhibits these muscular contractions. In areas like the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows), or crow’s feet, Botox relaxes the underlying muscles so that dynamic wrinkles don’t appear. However, this can also dampen the full range of expressions, particularly micro-expressions—those tiny, involuntary facial movements that play a major role in non-verbal communication.

Botox and Emotional Expression: The Science

Several studies have examined how Botox affects emotional expression. One key finding is that people with Botox in certain areas (especially the glabella and forehead) may have a reduced ability to display emotions like anger, surprise, or sadness. This isn’t to say that the emotions themselves disappear, but rather that the facial signals used to express them are muted.

For example, someone who’s upset might not furrow their brows as visibly as they did pre-Botox. This can make it harder for others to interpret what that person is feeling, leading to miscommunication or reduced empathy in social settings.

Interestingly, the feedback loop works both ways. The "facial feedback hypothesis" suggests that expressing an emotion helps reinforce it internally. Inhibiting facial movement through Botox may slightly blunt the emotional experience itself. In short, if you can’t frown easily, you might actually feel less sadness or anger.

Facial Recognition: Can Botox Affect How You Perceive Others?

Facial recognition involves identifying individuals based on their unique facial features and expressions. While Botox doesn’t interfere with your ability to recognize someone’s physical appearance, it may influence how accurately you interpret their emotional state.

A 2011 study found that individuals who received Botox had more difficulty identifying emotional expressions in others, particularly subtle or ambiguous ones. This could be due to reduced mimicry—our natural tendency to mirror another person’s expressions during a conversation. When Botox limits this mimicry, it becomes harder to "feel into" the other person’s emotional state.

This doesn’t mean Botox makes you emotionally detached or unempathetic. Most users don’t report dramatic changes in their emotional understanding. But there is evidence that Botox can introduce a small dampening effect, especially in people who rely heavily on facial mirroring, such as therapists, actors, or teachers.

Social Implications and Perception by Others

One of the more fascinating aspects of Botox and facial expression is how others perceive someone who has had injections. A face that moves less may be interpreted as calm, unreadable, or in some cases, aloof. Some people may mistake limited expression for disinterest or even arrogance.

This perception may depend heavily on context. In professional settings, a composed, smooth expression might be seen as polished and confident. In personal or emotional situations, however, it could create a barrier to intimacy or emotional resonance.

Does Botox Always Dull Expression?

Not necessarily. Skilled injectors today understand the importance of preserving natural movement. Techniques such as "Baby Botox" or microdosing aim to soften lines without freezing the face. Strategic placement and dosage allow clients to retain a full range of expression while enjoying the aesthetic benefits.

Furthermore, Botox effects are temporary. If a patient feels their expressiveness has been overly diminished, the results will naturally fade in three to four months, allowing for adjustment in future treatments.

Emotional Wellness Benefits

While Botox may slightly dull certain expressions, it can also contribute to emotional well-being. In people with depression, Botox has been shown to improve mood—likely due to the disruption of negative facial feedback loops (such as frowning). In fact, clinical trials have explored Botox as a potential adjunct therapy for major depressive disorder.

This paradox—that Botox can both dampen expression and improve mood—highlights the complexity of how facial movement and emotion are connected.

Conclusion

Botox doesn’t just smooth the skin—it alters how we communicate emotionally through our faces. While this effect is typically subtle, it can influence how we’re perceived by others and even how we experience our own emotions. For most users, these changes are manageable and often outweighed by the confidence boost Botox provides. Still, understanding the social and psychological nuances of Botox can help individuals make more informed decisions about their aesthetic care—especially in roles where facial communication matters deeply.

[kaatrina]

crazy how guys are so blind to cosmetic surgery these days and think "she doesn't look like she's had work done" baby there is a subtle nose job, eyelid reduction, cheek filler, lip filler, chin filler, buccal fat removal, a brow lift & about 30 units of botox in that face

[reijisteacup]

Can you make how they would react/feel towards the idea of their S/O getting ideas over plastic surgery? Such as implants, reductions, lipos and so on

OH god are we talking Kim K or like a subtle botox like Ariana G....

==========================================================================================================

Sakamaki's

Shu Sakamaki:

At first, he seems like he doesn’t care. He lazily shrugs when you mention it, but that’s just his deflection. Internally, he hates the idea of you altering yourself—not because he thinks it’s wrong, but because he already sees you as “his,” and any change without his involvement feels like loss of control. He might say something like, “Tch… do whatever you want. It’s your body.” But if you look deeper, he’s saying: Why do you feel like you have to change for anyone but me?

Reiji Sakamaki:

He would immediately demand your reasoning with clinical precision. “Are you dissatisfied with your current form? Or is this the result of outside influence?” He views your body as something to maintain like a priceless artifact—not modify. If it’s a health-related procedure, he’ll accept it. But if it’s purely cosmetic, he might become obsessive in trying to convince you otherwise. Deep down, he fears that your insecurities stem from his own inability to make you feel admired.

Laito Sakamaki:

He masks discomfort with teasing. “Nfu~ You want bigger ones? Or is this for someone else’s eyes, hm~?” But deep down, he’s terrified of being replaced—not by the physical change, but what it represents. He associates beauty with manipulation, and if you change yourself, he worries it means you’re playing the same game everyone else has. If you do go through with it, he’ll fawn over you like nothing changed, but privately he’ll mourn the “authentic” version of you he fell for.

Kanato Sakamaki:

Explosive reaction. “WHY would you want to change?!” He sees your body as a reflection of your role as his doll. Anything altered feels like you’re trying to escape or erase the version of you he’s claimed. He’ll spiral emotionally—accusing you of not loving him, of wanting to become “fake.” You’d have to handle this delicately. He might even demand photographic proof of you “before,” to preserve the memory forever in case you “ruin it.”

Ayato Sakamaki:

You’d better not be doing it for anyone else. He’s loud, possessive, and surprisingly fragile about your self-perception. “Oi! You’re perfect already! Only trash like that would mess with what Ore-sama owns!” He feels threatened by the idea that you think someone else’s standards matter more than his. But ironically, if you’re doing it to feel more confident, he might—reluctantly—support it, as long as he gets constant reassurance that he’s still your #1 fanboy.

Subaru Sakamaki:

He’s angry—but mostly because he’s scared. “Why the hell would you even want that?!” He assumes it means you’re insecure, and that pisses him off because he already sees you as someone perfect in his eyes. It’s hard for him to process self-alteration because he’s never been allowed to feel proud of his own existence. If you talk to him honestly, he’ll become your fiercest protector—whether you change or not. He just wants you to love yourself, the way he painfully learned to love you.

Mukami's

Ruki Mukami:

Cold and calculating at first. “Do you truly believe plastic surgery will elevate your worth, Livestock?” He’s not against it per se, but he’s suspicious of the motivations behind it. If it stems from internalized self-hatred or societal pressure, he’ll forbid it. But if you can articulate that it’s for you, he’ll surprise you by supporting it with research, appointments, and recovery plans.

“If this is truly your will, then I shall stand beside you.”

Kou Mukami:

Kou has conflicting feelings. As an idol, he’s lived through extreme beauty standards and surgeries. He might be the most understanding on the surface—“It’s totally your body, M Neko-chan~! You’d look amazing no matter what!” But internally, he spirals hard. Your desire to change yourself makes him fear you’ll outgrow him or start chasing perfection like the toxic industry he’s in. He’ll cling tighter after the fact, needing constant affirmation that you’re still his version of beautiful.

Yuma Mukami:

“You wanna go under the knife for that crap?!” It sounds like he’s being rude, but he’s just worried. Yuma grew up appreciating natural strength and survival, and altering your body voluntarily doesn’t sit right with him. He thinks your curves, scars, softness—whatever it is—are part of what makes you “real.” But if you get emotional and tell him it’s something you’ve wanted for you, not others? He’ll mellow out and support you gruffly.

“Fine. But if anyone talks shit about it, I’ll flatten ‘em.”

Azusa Mukami:

Heartbreaking reaction. “But… I like you… just like this…” He doesn’t understand cosmetic surgery. He loves every flaw, scar, stretch mark—he thinks they’re beautiful. Azusa’s idea of love includes embracing brokenness, so your desire to fix or enhance something feels like a denial of his affection. But he won’t stop you. He’ll quietly help you recover, nurse you tenderly, and whisper things like,

“I’ll still love you… even if you don’t love you…”

Tsukinami's

Carla Tsukinami:

He’s pragmatic. “If it is necessary, so be it.” But if it's for superficial reasons, he may become cold. He views unnecessary self-modification as a weakness of human fragility. He’s not moved by modern ideals of beauty—he prefers timeless elegance. However, if you show conviction and explain that it brings you peace or control, Carla respects that. He may even say,

“Then you must own the consequences. I will not stop you.”

Shin Tsukinami:

Very blunt and judgmental at first. “Ugh, seriously? You’re gonna mess with your body like some desperate mortal?” But it’s mostly bravado. He’s scared of you becoming someone he doesn’t recognize. You’re supposed to be his unique toy, not a copy of some ideal. But if you’re vulnerable with him, he’ll grudgingly admit that he’s scared of losing the “you” he’s grown attached to. Eventually, he’ll come around—but expect some teasing.

“Fine. Just don’t make your ass too fake, got it?”

[bonni]

when people say "this woman should embrace ageing naturally" what they really mean is "I don't care if this celebrity gets work done, as long as it's not obvious and is appealing to me" and I saw the hypocrisy of this mindset play out in real time as an iasip fan.

people were SUCH dicks to kaitlin olson for years because they thought her fillers looked like shit and insisted she had gotten plastic surgery even though she repeatedly said it was just botox. everywhere I looked between 2018 and 2022 people were talking about how she's a beautiful woman and it's such a shame that she destroyed her face in this way, blah blah blah.

fast forward to 2023 (when the most recent season aired) and her work is a little more subtle, she has smile lines and the lip filler is less noticeable, plus she got a haircut that made her look younger and framed her face a bit better. suddenly everyone is talking about how happy they are that she gave up the botox because she looks SO much better like this, she's ageing like a fine wine, ugh I wish more women in hollywood would follow her lead. and in all likelihood, none of this is true. she's probably still getting botox and still has fillers, they've just settled into her face in a more conventionally attractive way, and apparently that's the same thing as "ageing naturally." it's not that I don't think she looked hot in the last season, I do, but throughout all of this I felt like I was the only person being like ?? she's a comedian why the fuck does it matter what she looks like. why do you give a shit if she got plastic surgery or not. why do you give a shit if her lip filler looks "weird." WHY. DO. YOU. CARE. leave women alone holy shit

~Fourth wing fanart/redesign~

I actually didn’t like fourth wing lmao. My biggest pet peeve about it tho is the fanart of violet sorrengail. She almost always looks like a model with lip filler and Botox and not a young Gaelic girl with a chronic illness — idk if I’m the only one who read her like that, but I think she very clearly has Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. The weak joints and tissue, weak skin, fragile, pale and chronic pains are a few of her symptoms.

Enough about the rant, I drew her with actual facial scars (from her being punched hard enough to break skin) based on my own facial scars, though they’re very subtle. I also gave her a scar on her neck, cause I imagine she’d probably scar very easily/make too much scar tissue because of her condition.

(Posting this early cause less people will see it)

Turned out it was just a bad botox job.

"You vanished because... you couldn't move your FACE?! MINAKO!!!" Usagi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry with relief.

"IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SUBTLE!!", argued Minako, dramatically sipping tea through a straw because her lips wouldn’t purse. “At least I can speak normally now, but my eyes will stay like that for a couple weeks more. I was too embarrassed to let anyone see me.” She sighed. “But no use slipping over spilled tea, now”.

Is derek ass or boobs team

Boobs. 100%. He’s boob team captain. likes how smug he gets when someone covers up around him. Doesn’t even matter the size as long as they’re natural. He’d say something like, “It’s not about how big they are, it’s about how real they feel when I’ve got my face in ’em.” Disgusting. I know.

BUT... let’s not pretend he’s above a casual ass grab. He lives for the sneak-attack palm-to-butt moment, especially when he’s being playful. Like, walking past you in the hallway? Boom. Grab. Sitting on his lap too long? Squish. He’s shameless about it. It’s never just “ass guy” energy it’s opportunist energy.

So: Boobs for the devotion, booty for the sneak attacks.

Extra:Does Derek like a bit of belly or thighs too?

Oh, absolutely. He’s a menace for it. Derek likes softness. He likes something to squeeze, bite, leave marks on. A bit of belly? He’s burying his face in it and laughing like a gremlin. Thighs? He’s got both hands on them like he’s afraid someone’s gonna take them away.

And he lives for how flustered you get about it. If you ever try to cover up or shrink away, he’s just gonna grin wider and double down. "What, you shy now? Thought this was mine." Freak.

Derek doesn’t want a body that looks like it came from a magazine. He wants a real person he can cling to, obsess over, ruin a little. Bonus points if you squeak when he grabs.

Extra extras:

Derek hates the Kardashian look. Plastic surgery? BBLs? Botox lips? You’re gonna catch him doing a full body gag. He's not even subtle about it. He’ll roll his eyes, mutter something cruel like, "Walking silicone billboard," and move on like he didn’t just roast someone’s entire existence

It’s not even about being “natural” in a self-righteous way it’s about authenticity. Derek likes what’s real, raw, lived-in. If you’ve got scars? Stretch marks? Imperfect proportions? He’s into it. He’d rather have a wonky nose and a real smile than some shiny Instagram-filter face that can't move.(the more he mocks it the more he likes it)

He thinks plastic surgery is fake in the worst way: fake soul, fake guts, fake heat.“You really paid five grand to look like a blow-up doll? And they didn’t even give you the personality to match.”
