#without plastic surgery

[the-lions-mouth]

a straight man recently tried to tell me that 1970s al pacino (in bobby deerfield!!!!!) was ugly. further evidence that we were right all along and straight people really don’t know anything

#al pacino #bobby deerfield #also further evidence that #1) bobby deerfield was made for the female gaze #i cannot emphasis enough how much i do not think #that someone who looks like even robert de niro circa 1975 #could get that level of fame today #without plastic surgery #to look less like robert de niro circa 1975 #and more like. idk. cgi images

can people please just be normal about breast implants. I just saw a video where the whole thing was just. a girl on a rollercoaster having a good time and the "joke" was that she had breast implants & you could tell. groundbreaking concept but breast implants are both morally neutral + important for a lot of people who have dysphoria. pointing out that someone has them isn't a good joke you're just being a dick

#this is why I don't totally agree when ppl are like ''well cis people can get plastic surgery without anyone complaining!!'' #women (all women altho trans women get this esp hard) have been shamed for getting plastic surgery #and also shamed for having natural ''''ugly'''' features #m.

Lookism is so funny to me because usually it's a normal battle shonen but every now and again it just goes "hey what if the most horrifying thing you can imagine actually happened" and then it just goes back to normal and pretends that didn't happen.

#webtoon #Lookism #Lookism webtoon #Like there was the stalker lady who lived in Daniel's house without him knowing #And there was the woman who stole other peoples pets and forced them to live in her house with barely any food until they died #And recently there was the entire plastic surgery thing #And that's just A FEW of the things #So yeah

stupid is twtiny convincing people that ateez ABSOLUTELY HATES KQ using wooyoung being a little shit by pronouncing brand names on wanteez as "proof"

#even the bitch who said ateez copied skz by using red and black in the comeback schedule isn't as stupid #like #maybe just don't stan ateez #if you're so against kq #bc omg #use your head ?? #just think about it #ateez is ateez bc of kq #no matter what #like despite them making songs themselves #ateez exist because of kq #and ngl #you can say whatever #i will defend kq #kq is one of the best companies in terms of their treatment towards their idols #like would you rather ateez gets pressured to do plastic surgery ??? #go on EXTREMELY unhealthy diets ???? #be stressed and depressed when they just wanna be idols but they can't bc they're mismanaged ???? #like fuck you and your stupidity #tell me you don't understand how a company function without telling me you don't understand how a company function #🖕🖕🖕🖕 #logic where #smt tmi

I know I've talked about this before, but as somebody with Strong features who has been mocked for it, it really infuriates me when people bully others for changing their strong features through surgery instead of criticizing beauty culture, you know, a big issue as to why people with strong or ethnic features are often bullied or even discriminated against. When you bully people for altering their appearance through surgery, you may just be victim-blaming somebody. Beauty culture is the issue, not somebody using their bodily autonomy as they see fit.

#beauty culture #honestly i think one of the reasons people have stopped mocking me for my features is simply because... #...they were 'masculinizing' features and since i am a man people aren't as willing to 'call it out'... #...now that people have recognized my manhood i've noticed they're less inclined to call out the features they see as masculine... #...because it's like saying 'the sky is blue!!!!' and expecting people to be horrified and shocked #even in a post-beauty culture world 'cosmetic' plastic surgery would still exist #because it is an aspect of bodily autonomy #i have some Thoughts on this #(i will say in the first few tags that people have still pointed out my features but like. my dysphoria doesn't latch onto it anymore) #(and i've embraced that i just look Like My Dad and i always have and probably always will) #this was just inspired by somebody expressing that they changed their strong feature because of bullying/beauty culture... #...and people were making fun of *her* instead of criticizing and hating beauty culture for tormenting her for how she existed #would she have changed her strong nose if not for beauty culture? who knows because that isn't the world we're living in rn #but you can't just ignore how painful it was to have been TORMENTED for your NATURAL BODY #like that's honestly the lowest of the low imo #and i 100% support her decision because her bodily autonomy is *absolute* #without bodily autonomy you have NOTHING. if you do not OWN your body you own NOTHING.

always disheartening to see so many women who would call themselves feminists still willing to go to the mat for plastic surgery. "it's their bodies and their money! don't shame them!" okay....so you don't want to interrogate at all why an increasing number of women are getting elective surgery to live up to inherently racist, ageist, and misogynistic beauty standards?

#brains really do go brrr the second you want to examine how a myriad of external factors influence 'individual' choices #i understand where the defensiveness is coming from to an extent #because it's really only women who get shamed or called botched when plenty of men also get botox + plastic surgery #but it's possible to call out double standards without defending elective plastic surgery #no one needs lip fillers! no one needs cheek fillers! no one needs an eyebrow lift! #a shout into the void

There I said it

#guys we can stop the spread of misinformation about intersex without perpetuating misinformation about nonbinary people #like it being a choice or our healthcare being glorified plastic surgery #trans #nonbinary #intersex #not intersex just tagging #enbyphobia #meme #genderqueer #lgbt #biceratops

Has anyone else noticed that some of the really vocal anti-makeup anti-plastic surgery people manage to swing back around and sound like 1700s puritans again? Like don't get me wrong, there are a lot of valid criticisms of powerful misogynistic industries, but some of the "How Dare You Artificially Manipulate Your God Given Features" is side-eye inducing. I think that there is no victory until choosing to alter or not alter your appearance is a completely neutral task, something that is not required, not forbidden, not praised, not derided, not rewarded, not punished.

#I think a part of my real dislike of takes like that is how easily the same arguments could be made against gender affirming care #Oh those surgeries and hormones are UNNATURAL and EVIL you are being MANIPULATED into wanting them #or even something mild like tattoos! #It's bad wrong evil tacky gross to get tattoos obviously it's unnatural you'll regret it! #I have to believe that there's a way to push back against makeup and plastic surgery as an expectation without sounding like... that

it's so off-putting to see roided out actors playing regular ppl in movies like. no ur not just a "fit" guy u literally spend thousands on steroids and i'd be afraid of standing next to u bc one of ur veins might explode in my face at any time

#same with ppl who have filler or have had plastic surgery done etc etc bu that goes without saying #i just saw a gif of a movie idk and this dude looked insane. can we PLEASE cast normal looking ppl #ele.txt

are there any before and after pictures of harrys hairline? all this hair loss talk is making me realise i havent ever noticed a huge difference with his hairline (obviously its worse now than 10 years ago but still)!

Hi dear,

I mean.... he's been getting preventative treatment, so it's not a massive difference. Preventative as in....it prevents hair loss (to an extent). So when you actually look and compare, he's been able to maintain his hairline pretty evenly thru the years since he was a teen to now at 28, nearly 29 years old:

Like, there isn't a ton of change, this has always been the shape of his hair. So the preventative therapy he's got has been working well so far.

Note: related to this and this and this

(starting a new post) Honestly, I've thought much the same about Hal's stoicness and the Shrewsbury wound. We know he was brusque in speech and I've also headcannoned that was a result of the arrow wound. A friend of mine (@richmond-rex) has wondered whether the arrow might have reached his pharynx and affected his speech for a time and as you said, scar tissue could have fucked him up even once he was recovered.

But also, on the more simple side of things, I wonder if it's the fact that it hurt and almost every facial or head movement made it hurt more. And he probably quickly learned that to avoid more pain is to keep his face and head still and avoid making sound. We don't know how long it between Hal's wounding and Bradmore to complete his "cure" and it probably took much longer for the wound to fully heal and longer for Hal to "get back to normal" (I also imagine him struggling to resume eating normally - he's also said to have been abstemious in food and drink).

Yeah, I've always thought the combination of him apparently being quite stoic in his expressions + reportedly not talking very much + being careful with how and what he eats (the only foods I've seen him mentioned as eating are ones that don't require you to open your mouth very wide i.e. oysters and nuts etc) most likely meant that the injury had some lasting effect, either due to lasting chronic pain or physical damage, or both. I once read someone marveling at how lucky he would have had to be not to have suffered nerve damage, and I do imagine that in spite of how careful Bradmore was in treating the wound, the surgical process of having to enlarge the wound slowly probably would have left quite a large scar, even if he seems to have done everything he could to keep it as evenly healed as possible (can't comment on how slowly shrinking the wound would have affected the healing process). I also think he probably would have had some degree of whiplash due to the force of the arrow's impact (though maybe armour would have supported his neck).

I was reading something yesterday about ATLA and how so often people treat scars (especially facial ones) as the be all and end all, without actually putting any thought into what the scar means for the body; how it moves, how it healed, the pain it might carry or even the absence of any sensation at all. I thought it was applicable because I've noticed a lot of the published writing on Henry V, even if it mentions his scar, acts like the scar was the only problem he would have faced after the wound was healed without giving consideration to what probably came with the scar.

#Henry V #have absolutely no idea how to tag this #cw surgery #cw gore #? hopefully that covers it #my dream study would be to get some trauma and plastic surgeons together with Bradmore's notes and a exact as possible replica of Hal's fac #so that they can try and figure out what the scar probably would have looked like and how it may have acted #the only recreation I've seen was of the tool rather than modern surgeons talking about the surgery #honest the absence of the scar in anything contemporary creates a very noticeable gap in how he's talked about #both then and now #like there's people who act like he was the only capable king in his family because he wasn't REALLY disabled like his father or son #or play up his scar in an attempt to Richard III-ise him #it's so interesting about how Hal's disability was most obvious (the very definition of staring you in the face) but also the most ignored #without a doubt only because he kept working through it #but the thing I can never get over is that even the French never mentioned it

leaving aside the fact that kpop youtubers farming for clicks are fucking losers the qrts are full of ppl being like "well what did you expect after she fell two stories and had to have her face reconstructed" genuine question - could the doctors that reconstructed her face not stick to like features closer to her original looks at the time?

#that's a genuine question btw but of course i cannot ask that on twitter i will get doxxed #either way it's still so :/ to talk about kpop plastic surgery when most of it is done without asking the idol's opinion

[netch-rancher]

I know there will always be discourse around plastic surgery and beauty standards but I gotta say…for my part, after having plastic surgery I look in the mirror every day and I love what I see

#though if you saw me without remember what I looked like before there is a zero chance you’d be able to tell what I had done #not tes #plastic surgery

86 year old man was talking to me about music from the 50s and early 60s today he sang me a song and showed me a picture of him standing next to Paul Anka... he lived in LA in the 60s trying to make it as a writer... he had his songs on the radio... COOL

#I wish he told me his name... he kept saying “the music today I just don't understand... I'm out of it...” #he was not Paul Simon but he did look so much like him... #Paul Simon without having undergone plastic surgery #it's like this big store and people have these stalls I was in a record stall #I found Brian Eno's Before and After Science... my favorite of his albums... and Magazine's The Correct Use Of Soap!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #so fucking happy about that really YAYYYYyyy #he asked what records I got and he was like “oh yeah that I know nothing about that...” #and I bought New Order CD... yayyy #but you know I'm so. I'm so happy to have another Magazine record #YAY #my 666th post...
