#Skin tightening surgery near me

[vivifaceblog]

As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity, which can result in fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. While some people turn to injections and surgeries to combat these signs of aging, there are non-invasive options that can be just as effective without the risk of needles or downtime.

haiiii may i request a nurse!y/n and sukuna thing? like maybe y/n takes care of sukuna after he's injured or something???? 🥰

oh nonnie you intelligent you and hear me out HEAR ME OUT. established relationship?? just got out of surgery sukuna?? i am CLAWING at the bars of my enclosure. thank you for bringing this idea to my attention (im going insane).

the sterile smell of antiseptic lingered in the air as you quietly entered sukuna's room. he was just coming out of surgery, eyes heavy-lidded and unfocused. despite the harsh lines of his face and the intimidating aura that usually surrounded him, there was a rare vulnerability to him now, softened by the remnants of anesthesia

carefully lifting a nearby stool closer to his bed, you moved to check his vitals, your touch gentle and professional. as your fingers brushed against his arm, sukuna's eyes flickered open, his gaze sharp despite the lingering grogginess

"what're you doing here?" he grumbled, voice raspy and words slurred. "shouldn't you be off tormenting some other poor soul?"

a small smile tugged at your lips. even fresh out of surgery, he couldn't help but throw barbs. "just making sure you're still alive, your majesty. can't have you keeling over on me."

he scoffed, turning his head away, but not before you caught the slight tremor in his hand as he reached out, grabbing the edge of the sheet. without thinking, you placed your hand over his, feeling the warmth of his skin under your palm

"i don't need you coddling me," he muttered, but there was no bite to his words, just a tiredness that made your heart ache

for a moment, there was silence, the once near silent beeping of the monitors became the only sound. then, with a sigh that seemed to carry the weight of the world, sukuna tightened his grip on your hand, his eyes closing once more

"just… don't go too far," he murmured, so soft you almost missed it

"well, i am at work, ryo." you stifled a laugh before continuing, "but, i'll see what i can do."

two knocks came to the already ajar door, slightly opening it a bit wider, the voice of a trainee filling the air

"nurse ryomen? you're needed in room 112!"

nodding quickly to the young lady, your eyes stayed on your husband's as you stood up. "i'll be right back, okay?" sukuna reluctantly let go of your hand, turning his back towards you. "it'd be best if you never came back."

"i love you too," you said pressing a kiss to his cheek. and all sukuna could do was watch as you left his room, blowing him an uncountable amount of kisses. he let himself smile for the first time that day, and let his thoughts drift once the door closed

nurse ryomen, huh? that does have a nice ring to it...

Floyd/Reader Mafia AU

Injuries, masochism on Floyd's end, stitching wounds, mentions of violence, no sex but Floyd is weird and busts a nut.

They/Them used for the reader.

Floyd is going to get himself killed…young too.

They couldn't help but think it as they kneeled between the needlessly long legs of said man, seated on a well-worn leather stool. The make shift surgery room was quiet save for the sound of their shared breaths and the dripping of the near by sink's leaky faucet. 

From what they heard from the others the job was supposed to be something simple. “Just in and out.”

I really shouldn't be surprised. It made sense Floyd would be the one to complicate things…again. He’s a smart and clever person, they knew this well but…boredom can be dangerous when it comes to certain people.

They couldn't help but let out a tired sigh.

Of course, he would be the one to turn it into a shoot-out.

And now they are picking buckshot and glass of out Floyd's bleeding side. His face would tighten up in pain for a moment, showing off sharp teeth, before relaxing slightly and letting out a giggle.

Floyd always did seem to enjoy the strangest things. 

They look from their work for a moment and into his eyes, they see that manic spark that always seemed to glow brighter whenever he saw them.

Floyd…wanted them, they knew that. Why he did? They really didn't know. They weren't self sure like like him or the others, not strong, or particularly interesting. Hell they weren't even a real doctor, just a medical school dropout. 

Not breaking eye contact he spoke. “Fuck Doc, it hurts.” He let out a groan before a grin becgain to spread on his face.“I gotta make sure to kill that fella next time.”

They quickly looked away, bringing their eyes back to their work. 

Aaah I really hope I don’t have to see when it happens.

Nervously they picked out another piece of glass, being as gentle as they could with the jagged tear in his flesh. 

They heard a hiss coming from him when removing this shard before dropping it into a metal container with the others. A large hand suddenly gripped their shoulder and pulled them up some, causing them to let out a startled noise.

“Eh, Doc, can't ya be more careful? It might leave a scar.”

They tried to keep neutral it but couldnt help but make a face at that.

Oh please. They knew full well he liked his scars, he even thought they made him look cool. They lost count of how many times he would show them off and insisted they touch them and…he keeps calling them that. He must really like making fun of them.

“Stop…stop calling me that.” 

“Huh? Nah, don't think so. You're my cute little Doctor Shrimp, always patching me up.”

They look over his shoulder to stare at the wall as he speaks, eye contact would be too much. Especially with their position. Being between a grown man's legs certainly wasn't helping with their anxiety, nor did they make it a habit to be around men in such a way.

“You ignoring me Doc? That aint very nice.” Floyd muttered.

They shook their head, they weren't. 

“Then why don't you-”

The interrupted “I, uhm, I need to stitch your wounds now Floyd.” They spoke quickly. Whatever Floyd wanted them to do, they really shouldn't. Best to finish this as soon as they can.

And so they stuck the needle into him.

Floyd yelped. His body twitched and he squeezed his eyes shut as the needle moved through his flesh. In and out it went, sewing his skin together. 

“Worst pain I've ever felt, Doc.” He said, but he was lying through his teeth. How could this be worse than everything else he's been through? Shot, stabbed, and even suffered through broken bones for god's sake…all things they took care of for him.

They pulled at the thread and Floyed trembled, high spots of red rising in his cheeks. With each stab of the needle, his body shivered. 

As they dragged the wound shut, a different kind of groan tumbled out. 

They stopped at hearing the sound, heat rushing to their face. Without meaning to, they brushed against his thigh, and Floyd went stiff.

They looked down and saw the state of Floyd's pants. He was hard.

The pain. Jeez, he was getting…off on the pain. It was either the pain, the attention, or both. Jade had the weirdest reactions to everything. 

The air around them turned hot. They were sweating, but their hands were cold and clammy under thier surgical gloves. Whatever Floyd thought this was, whatever he was feeling, they really shouldn’t encourage it.

“Go on, Doc, finish the job.” Floyd said, his tone taunting. When they looked at him, his expression was heated and almost…desperate. He looked so wrecked.

The sight of Floyd, his sounds, how pathetic he was right now…a wave of arousal went through them, followed by shame and further anxiety. They felt like thier were going to pass out.

I need to leave and soon.

They pulled the final stitch closed, finishing it.

With shaky hands they fumbled for the rubbing alcohol, letting the cap fall to the ground. Staring at the blood they hwsitated for a moment before carefully emptying the entire bottle onto the wound.

They poured it until the bottle was empty and tossed it away to be cleaned later, the plastic bottle bouncing off the floor. 

They didn't truly want to hurt Floyd but they needed that heated expression to go away.

Floyd made a choked noise, sounding almost pathetic, and arched off the examination table. Rivulets of alcohol flowed down his skin, mixing with his blood. It dripped down his side, his stomach, and past the vee of his hips, soaking into his blood-stained pants.

He threw his head back, convulsing with pain. His mouth opened to utter a broken cry before falling backward, back hitting the examination table and body going limp.

They let out a gasp. “Oh…oh god.” Eye's locking onto a new wet patch at the front of his pants. 

They...really shouldn’t have expected anything different. Floyd had made his…want of them clear. In his strange mind pain was just another outstretched hand to him. Part of them knew nothing they could do would dissuade him. It scared them but also…made them feel something else they really... shouldn't. 

Floyd's mismatched eyes found them again, looking up at them half-lidded. With a smile, he licked his lips with a long inhuman tongue.

With a trembling hand, they reached for the door and quickly left the room.

A Very Niche Level-Up + Looksmaxxing Idea List for 2025

This list is for the girls that get it. It’s niche and not for everyone, but I’m throwing up at the fact that every “how to level up in 2025” post talks about journaling sad pages 24/7, drinking 8 cups of water a day, and walking 10k steps. How original.

Again, this is a very niche set of ideas. If you can’t relate then you can’t relate. But if you enjoy a good plastic surgery post and luxe lifestyle, maybe you will :)

1. Upgrade your car. We’re getting the Lexus’, the BMW’s, the Mercedes, the Jag’s, etc.

2. Upgrade your home. We’re living in high rises, we’re living in coastal areas, we’re living up in the mountains, we’re living where Amazon can drop our package off and we don’t have to worry about a porch pirate; we’re living in nice areas and in nice units/homes.

3. Breast augmentation.

4. Rhinoplasty.

5. Medical grade skincare.

6. Fresh, organic whole foods; focusing on lean protein, nuts and seeds, mushrooms, onions, leafy greens, pro/prebiotics, sea moss gel, etc.

7. Russian manicures and pedicures or a good acrylic set. Dip powder had its thing for a while but I’m not going to dip my nail in a powder everyone else dipped their nails. I bet they don’t even wash their hands and if they did, they prob didn’t even use soap.

8. Laser hair removal. Everywhere. If you want a design down there that’s cool, but you literally use the bathroom and it drips in the hair. “Oh but I use a wipe”. Okay, next time you need to wash your hair.. don’t use shampoo. Use a wipe. Invest in a bidet but still, hair shouldn’t be in your 🍑 or near the sensitive areas of your 🦋 the top is fine but if you have a period, pee, or “the other thing”, hair should be no where near those areas.

9. Lip filler. Everyone can benefit. Ask for a pout that sticks out a little bit. I don’t suggest a lip flip, I couldn’t do anything with a lip flip and it was driving me nuts.

10. Fake tan. Sunlight is fine but a spray tan just makes you look a million times better. Every skin tone and every race benefits from a spray tan. Trust.

11. Muscle definition. Muscle looks so much better than fat AND bones. You want muscle. Did you see how Bella Hadid had her foot on our necks at the VS fashion show this year? I was sickkkkkk.

12. Long hair. But if you have a face shape like Hailey Beiber, short hair looks better.

13. Makeup. Remember water-based products and oil-based products don’t mix, so make sure you choose your products wisely so your makeup doesn’t separate and you look a mess.

14. A better paying job. I left my hospital job and now I work in luxury real estate and international yacht sales.

15. Red light therapy for face and body. I have a body red light therapy dome that I got online for around $3,000 (USD) and it’s life. The one I have for the face is from Sephora and I spent like $400-$500 on that one. Whatever it says on the website.

16. Lashes. If you’re a pro at strip lashes, then yes. But I get my lashes done. Do not go crazy. Natural lashes are in so I ask for a classic whispy set focused for thickening my lash line and NOT for length.

17. Morpheus8 for skin tightening. I used it on my inner thighs and it literally saved my life

18. Lipo. If you’re a good candidate, get it. Sometimes belly pooch is hard to lose. I don’t have a pooch but I’m sure when I have kids I will.

19. Vampire facials. I can confidently say my best facials were vampire facials. My med spa charges around $950 for each facial

20. People can tell you’re wearing Shein. Their clothes are cute online but I’m going to hold your hand when I say this, they never look flattering in person when they’re being worn. People can see the loose thread and the see-through material. They also don’t fit anyone well and makes a lot of you look square. You get what you pay for in clothing. Learn about the basics of clothing and you’ll quickly only buy quality.

Yeah this list isn’t meant for everyone, but walking 10,000 steps isn’t going to take you to the next level. Neither is drinking water. They’re good habits, but they’re not going to level you up. And yeah I understand my list requires having money, but this is literally what my blog is about.

My 2025 Mindset Level Up book is here!

[ordowrites]

since the wanderer is a literal puppet, imagine if he could have swappable genitalia - installing his own bottom surgery via some biotech and magic... the baby dream can finally be real (even if the cum may possibly be artificial as well? he can dream)

OH ANON YES .

cw: afab reader, breeding kink, yandere themes, possible ooc on wanderer's end, biting, marking, overstimulation, slight degradation (use of the term 'slut'), multiple orgasms (m.receiving), orgasm delay (f.receiving), begging, fingering (f.receiving), possessive behaviors. minors do not interact.

word count: 630

He has you pinned beneath him - his violet eyes are almost hypnotic as you stare into them, your breathing hard and your face flushed. He looks at you with a strange mix of reverence and animalistic need, hunger in him that you're never sure if you can ever quite satiate. You're covered in bite marks and hickies that will take forever to fade and are even harder to hide.

His cock is pressed against your core - wet and needy from hours of teasing with various toys, his mouth, and his fingers. Tonight is nowhere near finished and all you can do is brace yourself as he presses the head of his cock inside of you and you whine. It's a bit bigger than what you were expecting.

Your toes curl as you arch your back up and he grins, pleased with your reaction. He utters words into your ear, breath hot and teeth graze at your earlobe and you tremble. Yes, you silently agree - mind foggy. You are his.

The noises that fill the air are almost unholy for someone who had been created from divinity, his pace starts off slow and easy, allowing you just a few moments of adjustment before he picks up the pace. And you cling to him, whining and moaning, your body is your offering to him as he fucks you more into delirium than he ever has before.

"Fuck," he groans. "Gonna - you're gonna have my kids." He tells you and you can only moan in response. The Wanderer captures your lips with his, silencing you as he releases inside of you - once. You feel the cum fill you up - your eyes widening as you whine against him. He fucks you through his first orgasm, careful enough to keep you on edge. "Can't fucking wait. Be mine for ever - can't ever leave me."

You are at his mercy.

"We're not done," he breathes against you. "No tapping out now." The Wanderer grips your chin, forcing you to look at him in the eye. All you can do is nod as he starts again - perhaps this is one of those positives and negatives about having a boyfriend who isn't human. "Good slut. My good little slut."

He bites your throat, sucking hard and grins against your skin as a purple mark blossoms underneath.

"Wanderer," you gasp out as he fills you again with his seed - beings made from divinity are surely something else. You can only pray you don't actually get pregnant from this, you still have things you need to do, your studies to finish - graduation. "Please-"

"Shh," he coos. "I know." You whimper as his thrusts start to slow and hips stutter - he can only push you so far before you start passing out and honestly, the Wanderer isn't fond of such a thing. He releases inside of you once more time and you whine, hips bucking to remind him that you need to cum. "Good." he groans as he keeps you pinned down between his arms. "So fucking good - archons."

His praises are always so far and few between that you cling to those words as his fingers move to work at your clit - rubbing in slow, agonizing circles until the coil in your belly tightens and releases and you cry his name in relief and gratefulness that he allowed you to cum.

It takes a moment to register as he lays down next to you - cum dripping from your pussy - that his fingers are shoving it right back in and you're pressing against him. He wordlessly kisses your neck, teeth digging in skin he has yet to mark up.

And all you can do, with your mind fuzzy and body exhausted, as allow him to move your leg up and over his hip as he slowly enters you again.

With Me

Chapter 3: Obstacles to overcome

CW: (Implied) Child abuse, Physical torture, Lab Whump, Surgery, Vivisection, Broken bones

Word Count: 3.9 k

--

It all felt so real again, so intense. A soft steady stream of tears, lightly audible signs of distress, truncated erratic breathing- all in all under deep steady aches, shooting pain and burning in his muscles. Clenching his fists, a wheezed yelp escaped the boy's throat while leather restraints kept holding him down to cold metal. The care for his body paid off, then. This way, Six' body remained unharmed. He couldn't bruise himself by straining against his bonds, not tear his skin on rough rope or kick or thrash but the scalpels and needles and cold gloved hands digging into his skin could inflict whatever they pleased on the child's body. 

The boy lay there helplessly, with only his mind and voice to use. The rest of his body was sore, piercing pain coming from his calves cutted open, where the doctors were sewing in wood splinters and broken glass stitch by stitch. The needle was pricking into his skin again and again and again, more tormenting from moment to moment. Six' limbs tightened and the sharp splinters and shards dug into his soft flesh, continuing to wear him out hopelessly. 

He wanted to scream, to escape this awful torture so bad but couldn't, as many masked figures were staring down on him, inspecting and guarding every breath of his, holding him tight in addition to the restraints. 

But the child cried nevertheless, throwing the scientists off guard and distracting them from doing their work in silence. Suddenly, the boy felt a warm breath prickling on his left ear as he didn't dare to open his eyes and sobbed slightly under his breath. 

"Six? Remember what I told you about crying during experiments, hm?" A familiar voice breathed softly, which sent shivers down the boy's spine. "You don't want to embarrass me in front of everyone, do you?" 

It was him. The man who took him away. The one responsible for all his pain. Ever since his stay there, that face had haunted Six in his mind, making him feel anxious whenever he just neared. His facade was cold and analytic, yet his voice was soft and charming and he chose his words carefully. 

Six felt his heartbeat quicken in a sudden, pressing out only a few whimpers when the stinging wound was being stitched again. He tried so hard to keep his mouth shut but more tears ran down his cheeks uncontrollably, the forming lump in his throat made it almost impossible to breathe. Six only prayed for it to finally end. 

Please, just stop it now. Please, make it end. Please…

His mind was drifting away more and more until finally, a scream escaped his throat. 

In an instant, Six was snapped back into reality, waking up in drenched sweat as his eyes were widened in fear, glaring into the darkness of the bedroom he was in right now. The boy's head shot up in a sudden and he sat up, his whole body trembling in fright and shock. Six felt his eyes filling up with tears again, the pictures of this horrible nightmare still circling in his mind. 

Although by now, the boy realized it had been just a dream, it still felt so real. Sadly, and that was a fact, the dream wasn't that far from reality, however. Most of Six' nightmares were fragments of his life during captivity and he couldn't remember to ever have pleasant dreams at all. 

The sudden noise of a creaking door startled the child, making his breathing even more erratic. He heard a few heavy steps on the wooden floor and stared at the dark silhouette moving through the room towards the nightstand beside the bed, until a light bulb was snapped on. 

A warm dimmed light emerged in the room. And shortly after his eyes adjusted to the brightness of the light, Six recognized the one coming up to him, sitting down on the edge of the bed. 

Don. 

"Are you alright, kid?" The older man frowned, looking in Six' direction. "I heard ya scream." Don sat there in a white loose t-shirt, looking tired, which the boy could tell by some dark rings under his eyes, as it was still in the middle of the night.

An unsettling feeling spread through the boy's body, in fear that he just ripped the man from his sleep.

Why couldn't he just keep quiet for once?! 

Six wheezed quietly, wondering if the man was mad at him. Usually annoyance looked different, telling from the scientists' faces whenever the boy kept crying or tried to resist during and after their experiments in the past. Warning glances and snarls, threatening the child, and punishments to follow afterwards. But Don's facial features were eased, lips slightly pursed, only stoic tired eyes studying the boy with the anticipation to comprehend his behavior. Six was confused. Where was the catch? 

"Bad dream…" The boy replied in a shaky voice, his body still trembling like he was out in the cold on a winter's day, despite here in the room, the temperature was high beyond.

Don watched the frightened child, looking him up and down. He couldn't know what had startled Six so much and he also hesitated asking him about it. The boy sure didn't want to talk about all of his traumatic experiences and Don was also no one to him needing to know that. Anyway, Don was also too tired for a depth talk right now as he felt spacing out, suppressing a yawn. 

"Well, now that it was just a dream," He grunted, laying one hand gently on the child's shoulder. "you can lay down again and close your eyes, boy." 

In his intention to check up on the child, he had been far more concerned than he would've admitted. When Don woke up to a loud scream, he already had imagined the worst, suddenly feeling all over the place. And taking into consideration that he and the kid were the only ones in his house, the man started feeling more unnerved, nonetheless. But seeing that the boy was quite alright and just shrieked in his sleep was somehow relieving to him, in all honesty. 

Looks like his job was done here, right? 

Six drew his legs closer to his body, curling up to a ball again. Don's glance fell onto the little boy who still appeared to be troubled by something. And as if he wasn't even doing it by himself, the man carefully pulled the blanket over the child's upper body up to his chin, tucking him in. The boy felt warmth surrounding his body again and wondered about Don's sudden action that seemed to come out of nowhere. Six didn't remember the last time someone had tucked him in, if ever. 

But before he could even think about that more, the boy's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. He was so tired but also too scared to fall back asleep that his nightmare would continue. Six tried to stay awake but his body fought so hard against him and it seemed like he was about to lose. Don was right, though. He needed to sleep. His body simply demanded it. 

Just when the warm comforting light expired again and the room was flooded with darkness again, Six heard Don stepping away from the bed. In the man's intention to leave and go back to sleep again, Six tilted his head, sleepily mumbling to the yawning man. 

"Stay. Please..."

Don stopped, taken aback, and turned around to the little boy, who tried so badly to keep his eyes open. At once, he felt surprised and yet couldn't help but wonder about these two muttered words out of the boy's mouth.

So much for shortly checking up on the kid.

Not gonna lie, Don imagined this job to be way more easier. But children are work, indeed. A fact that also Don seemingly understood by now. 

And it was interesting to see how such a small request had caught him off guard so easily. Just when he anticipated making his way back to the couch, on which he'd been sleeping for two days now, Don realized what the boy wanted from him. And for a second, he had thought about retorting. 

He could simply say that he was just too tired for this and that wouldn't even be a lie. 

But somehow he just didn't have the heart to deny Six' wish, whether it was for his empathy and after all the child has been gone through or just because somewhere deep deep down in Don's mind, he remembered such a scene from his own childhood. 

Though the only difference was that his father didn't stay. Said he's old enough to sleep alone. And then slammed the door. 

Stupid sentiments.

So without further ado, Don discarded his thought again and went about the child's request, coming back to him. 

"Fine." He responded, sitting down on the bed and pulling his feet out of the slippers he had put on. "Scoot over then. I ain't that thin like you anymore, boy." 

Don lay down beside the child, making a bit of space for him on the bed. His glance fell on the little kid nuzzling into the blanket which almost belonged to him as it was something like his very own comfort item. Don looked up and stared to the ceiling for a while, motionless, until he felt something or someone near his body. He lowered his gaze and saw how the child had snuggled to his side, sleeping so peacefully and calm. The man hesitated, watching the boy's slow rise and falls of his chest, hearing his soft breaths. And something about this scene made his heart skip a beat. 

Hesitantly, Don laid one arm around the tiny body, pulling the child a little bit closer, not even fully understanding why. What is he even doing here? He should be sleeping in the living room, on his couch, for heaven's sake. He had sworn to himself to keep his distance from things like such, trying to not get too attached to this child, yet he's doing the exact opposite now. And before he might even know it, Don was getting caught up in something. He looked down on the boy with a sigh, guarding his sleep for a while, until he himself fell into a deep doze. 

"I never would've thought I'd hear from you again, Don! You're starting to become more and more of a hick, you know? No one ever sees you in town, you're always off somewhere but here." A familiar voice called through the turntable telephone standing on Don's kitchen counter.

The woman, which the voice belonged to, was speaking in a witty manner, pointing out his lack of social interactions all the way. Seeing by this, Don has never been a social butterfly and Barb was by far the only person in town he had anything to do with at all. And he also wanted to keep it that way. Because the last thing he needed was another distraction, to put it in harsh words.

During the call, Don already thought about what to do when Barb wasn't ready to help him. Where could he possibly go? He just couldn't leave the kid like that, with a serious injury. Don needed Barb's help, that's for sure. She might be the only chance for the boy to ever walk again in his life. And although the kid tried to hide it so badly, Don could see him being in pain, which hurt the man more than he’d like to admit. 

So after a long talk and lots of persuasion, Barb eventually agreed to come over and take a look at the boy while Don could feel a bit of hope spreading through his body. Hope that the child's wound would soon be treated and he could let him go again. Then, he would also take the boy to the local police station, explain the case and let them deal with the rest, so Don wouldn't get in trouble for any of this. 

Sounds like a plan, right? 

Yeah, the man thought but somehow there was still a little voice in his mind telling him it didn't feel right. Looking at this from the sober side though, that's the only reasonable solution for his little problem.

While waiting until Barb would arrive, Don was greeted by emerald sleepy eyes glaring at him, as he woke up the boy by gently shaking his shoulders. 

"Six... wake up." He mumbled softly to the child who was stirring and stretching in the bed. "Hey, good mornin', boy." 

Don was surprised when the kid didn't recoil away immediately when he saw his face. The boy appeared much calmer towards him than in the first few days and slowly started trusting Don that he even let him sleep in his bed last night. 

Six sat up in bed when Don brought him something to eat. His ration for today, he thought to himself as he was already starving. It had been so weird when the man gave him some food yesterday evening too.

Usually, he never got that much ration for one day, the boy wondered. 

When he had been there, sometimes the child wouldn't get food for days, either as punishment or because they needed him with a sober stomach for any experiments. He had been so hungry then, desperately awaiting the day where they finally gave him something to eat again.

"There you go, breakfast." The man said, smiling warmly to Six when he handed the boy a plate. "Pancakes." 

With that, Don stopped his train of thought and Six raised his head to the man's explanation. Then, he started eating and it tasted... awesome. Everything the man had given to him by far was so tasty and delicious, compared to the stuff he'd been fed before. 

"How is it?" Don asked as he watched him eagerly eating from the side of the bed.

"I... like that very much." The boy answered shyly.

Only now he realized how tired and hungry he actually had been before. The days after his escape had been so exhausting, when Six didn't know where to go and aimlessly strayed through the deep woods without any food or water or a place to sleep.

Well, until he had stepped into Don's bear trap…

"Good to hear." The man chuckled as he seemed to content the child with what he had made for him this morning. 

Still, he was so surprised how avidly the boy accepted all the food he had given him as if he was eating it all for the last time ever. Don eyed the child for a while, wondering how he might react when in merely an hour the town's doctor would be here. When they first met, Don promised the boy to avoid anything having to do with hospitals and doctors and medical stuff, yet he seemed to break this promise.

And it feels like betrayal too. 

Betraying the child which finally has grown some trust in him. And he knew today this trust would be put to the test. 

On the other hand, there was no other option than this. And Don wasn't someone who made rash decisions, no, he did think through this a lot. However, he never thought he would be so troubled by something like this and the more time eventually passed by, the more Don started feeling uneasy. He took the now empty plate out of the boy's hands and handed him a glass of water afterwards. Six drew it to his lips, drinking all out. Judging by his facial expression, the water probably tasted weird but he also didn't need to know that Don put a crushed pain reliever in it. This way, the medicine still helped with the pain from his leg but he didn't have to force the boy to take a pill.

Don casted a quick glance at the clock. Almost 11 am. Barb would be here every minute. The man drew in a sharp breath and brought the dishes to the kitchen sink. Through the small window he already saw a blue Chevy parking in his driveway. 

Six didn't know how long Don was gone but he was glad when the man came back to him. Somehow the boy started feeling safe whenever he was around, probably because of how secure Don was holding him in his arms last night. The boy wouldn't deny it, he was seeking so long for this kind of feeling that flooded his body with warmth. And he didn't want to be left all alone anymore, he wished to finally have someone. 

And with Don, he wasn't feeling alone. 

"Hey kid, uh…" Don stammered nervously, entering the room. But there the boy recognized something that was freezing the blood in his veins immediately. Don didn't come back alone. "Look, I brought someone with me." 

A middle-aged woman with short ginger hair and light pink shirt stood in the doorframe. "That's Barb." Don introduced her to the child. "She's a good friend of mine. She won't hurt you." 

Six froze at the sight of the woman and his smile vanished almost immediately.

"Hi, how are ya, sweetie?" She smiled friendly at him and approached the bed as carefully as possible but Six frowned, all color drained out of his face.

Who is she? Why did Don bring her? The boy stared at the woman with widened eyes, wishing for her to turn around and leave again. He didn't want someone else near him! But Don already sat down on the edge of the bed, with her in tow, and Six couldn't do anything else than huddle as far away as possible where his back met the wall. And right now, he just wished to disappear in it. 

"Barb here is an," Don paused, scratching the back of his head. "uhm... expert for healing." The boy knew that he just wanted to ease the situation and calm him down by this but Six already understood what the man actually wanted to say.

"D-doctor?" The child struggled to speak it out loud. His voice quivered, making him cringe. 

No, please… Not again. 

Six saw Don's sad look on his face, in all pity for the child. The man seemed to recognize the utter betrayal in the boy's eyes, all the guilt crushing down as he had to force Six to live through his greatest fears for his own good. Six saw hurt in the man's eyes.

"Well, yeah, I'm-" The woman then answered, causing him to flinch in fear when she neared.

"No!" Six squeaked, almost crying.

He turned away from her, wanted to run away but couldn't with his leg. The child was shivering in fright, he was so scared of what she would do to him now. And Don just would let this happen. No, he didn't want to be bound up and experimented on! Please, anything but that! 

Tears streamed down his cheeks and sobs killed his voice. Suddenly, he felt Don's hands grabbing his face, turning it in his direction. "Six, hey." The man spoke softly. "Six, look at me." His grip was gentle, yet unyielding and the boy closed his teary eyes, finally stopped struggling. 

"No one will hurt you, 'kay?" Don assured, still holding his face, a thumb brushing over the child's cheek. "We just want to help you, I'm with you all the time." 

Did he mean it? Six didn't know if he could trust anyone right now. Everyone just wants to hurt him, right? They are all the same, aren’t they? But then there's Don who's been treating him so nicely like nobody else before. And now he was holding him so close again, even comforting and speaking well to the boy. Maybe Don was telling the truth. Maybe they really just wanted to help him.

Six soon felt the man's grip ease and he looked terrified to the ginger woman, who also sat down beside Don, pity and sympathy spread over her face. "Don't be scared, sweetheart." She said with a soft voice."I just wanna take a look at your leg, is that okay?" 

No, not okay, Six thought. Don is the only one who is allowed to touch him! But the woman grabbed his ankle nonetheless. No, he didn't want her to do that! He wanted to break free from her grip, he wanted to yell, thrash, protest- 

But then the boy felt a large hand on his back, stroking up and down so gently. Don, he realized. Almost in an instant Six felt his tensed body ease, relaxing at the soft touch.

"You're doin' great, kid." The man spoke calmly to him.

While the woman, Barb apparently, was carefully unbinding the bandage on the child's foot, inspecting the deep wound with a sharp eye. "Oh my... the ankle bone is broken. The muscle tissue crushed." She noted and her glance fell back to Don. "How did that happen?" 

The latter pursed his lips, a vein popped out of his neck. "He got into one of my bear traps." The man explained, with a hint of guilt creeping over his face. "Disinfected it already and boy's takin' pain relievers." 

Six gulped when he saw Don's afflicted expression. But wasn't it all his fault? If he just would've looked where he was going that night, he wouldn't be here, be such a burden to Don. The man already did so much for him, more than any stranger would even think of and Six? What did he give him in return? Only trouble and worries. 

Barb listened to Don's explanation, her gaze wandering over to the boy. "Oh, you poor thing." She said, giving him a pitiful look. 

But Six only continued staring at her, feeling how his shoulders shuddered. She was so close to him. She could hurt him in so many ways with his wound exposed like that. The boy was so confused when she did nothing of that though. Barb just took another fresh bandage and gently tied it around his ankle. She gave him a sad smile, tenderly brushing her fingers over the boy's leg and covered it with the blanket again. 

"That will take a long time to heal. A devastating fracture like this also requires an operation." She addressed Don after.

"Can't you do it without?" Almost immediately followed. 

If there's at least one medical thing to avoid, then Don would do it. It was already enough for the kid that Barb was here, considering how scared the little one looked. But an operation? That would definitely be too much. However, the man's hopes were crushed when Barb shook her head. 

"No, I'm afraid I can't. That's the only way or else he'll never be able to walk again." 

Don let out a sad sigh, eyeing the child who once again was left completely unasked in all of this. That's not fair. Six shouldn't have to go through that, he didn't deserve any of this. But Don could tell the kid got calmer when he brought Barb to the door eventually. He saw that the boy could finally take a deep breath again.

hi nici! sorry for the late reply, the week has been kinda overwhelming for me. so now for my favourite quotes ig we share a plenty of them 😭😭😭 let's dive in, not in a particular order

"You consume me!" he blurted out, his voice raw. "I had it under control, I was stable until you came into my life! But now, you're all I can think about!" do i even need to say something?

"God, I can't think clearly when I'm around you! I can't sleep without thinking about you! All there is is the need to be near you, and nothing ever compares to that." oh my fucking god i don't know what i would do if gojo satoru had said it to me (technically he's saying this to me BUT…). i just love men so pathetic they even can't think straight when they near their s/o

wait wait i was re reading and this quote….consider this is a lyrical digression "Stop it, Satoru! You have no right to care about me. I don't want you to care about me! Now let me go!"

You could see the hurt in his eyes at your words. But he released your wrist. "Please, don't do this to me," he murmured, almost pleading.

"Like you forced me to do that surgery?" Your words felt like blades in your throat.

"I'll always be there when you need me." well in the context of the last chapter it doesn't fell right a lyrical digression again i just can't imagine what he felt at that moment "I know. But I don't care. I can't…I need you."

"Then I'll take care of you." that's what i've been talking about 😞😞😞

"I'm just relieved that you're safe. The mere thought of you being in danger…" He trailed off, his hands clenching into fists.

Suddenly, his body shook. He turned away, gripping the counter tightly, his knuckles whitening with the strain. "If I ever get my hands on that guy—" he can't even bear the thought of her being hurt (and then unintentionally hurts her..)

"So don't tell me I'm selfish, when I'd do anything for you." should i explain?

"Oh, sweetheart," he murmured, his voice a velvety caress against your skin. "If my breath alone made you quiver, can you imagine what my tongue will do to you?" not just this quote, but this entire scene. tears rolled down my thigh.

"Stop it, sweetheart, please," he pleaded softly. "I'm here, and I'll always be here. Cry if you need to. Scream if you need to. But I'm here. Every step of the way. We'll get through this together." it's the way he says "i'm here" every time trying to reassure her….i am going insane

His focus sharpened slightly, and he murmured, "God, you look so beautiful today." when the first thing he says when focused is how beautiful she is…takes me every.single.time.

"Wanting you—every damn second of every fucking day. I don't think I can take it anymore." the entire rain scene has me on chokehold, i feel like my heart's been ripped out of my chest and thrown at the floor, it's THIS emotional

"And in that fleeting moment, you knew one thing for sure: This man would either be your forever or your ultimate downfall." she's so right for this

"What, is the thought of you marrying me so absurd?"

"Kind of, yes."

"I'll just pretend I didn't hear that," he replied, undeterred.

"Are you serious?" casually asking her and dropping the intention to marry her, then asking her to move in while fucking…classical gojo.

"You know," I began, the words barely a whisper. "I'd do anything for you."

Her hand tightened in mine. "And I'd anything for you." ACTUALLY I LOVE THEM SO MUCH 😭😭😭

"Even if she looks at me in pity, I wish she would never stop looking at me". ofc he said said, such a simp

Satoru simply watched you for a moment, his thumb brushing over your bottom lip. "Shame I have to get clean, you look so pretty like that." this is just so hot….

"You don't need to deserve me, Satoru. Love isn't about deserving. It's about choosing each other, again and again, no matter what. And I choose you." the last but not least, THIS. crying screaming throwing up, i've been thinking about this for quite a long time now actually…on your question about y/n: yeah. i agree with you. actually i've seen authors here talking about that, just how they put some details of them into the reader persona. and i guess it's really nice, it leaves the room for us to connect to y/n, but simultaneously they're not a pure canvas. and i think it takes a ton of time and effort to portray a y/n in a nice way. have a nice day and waiting for the new chapter (already want to punch gojo as usual..)

no worries at all, totally understand how weeks can get overwhelming. take care of yourself!! and honestly, the fact that we share so many favorite quotes makes me so happy!! love that certain lines resonate deeply with readers and linger long after ♡

i completely agree on your insights about y/n!! finding that balance between giving a character substance and leaving room for reader connection is really a super delicate balancing act.

thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!! but why you want to punch gojo?? 😂😂

Pairings: None

Summary: The twins get kidnapped during a hunt. Turns out a certain freed trash can person we all know likes the Saw movies.

Warnings: Kidnapping, Misgendering, Mutilation, Limb Loss, Amputation, Gore, Blood, Injury, Vomiting, Near Death Experiences, Death, Surgery, Prosthetics, let me know if I should add anything else.

Would You Like To Play A Game?

Zodiac gave a groan as he woke up. He tried to move his arms and found he barely could move his arms.

“Good morning.” A voice greeted him as he opened his eyes blearily. Where was his twin? Still there but sleeping? No. Where was his twin?

The voice sounded familiar. Was it…? It was that damned human! The one who captured them in the alley! He and Horoscope had been too careless!

Zodiac glared up at the human.

“Don’t worry, you’ll find out what’s happening.” The short, annoying brunette man told him. Zodiac let out a deep growl.

“Where is my brother!?” Zodiac demanded.

“Oh, twin, you’d think that thing was your wife how you tried to defend her.” The man gestured to Horoscope bound to a different chair, a cord near his neck. He couldn’t even be angry his brother was being misgendered with the shock of seeing his twin in such a vulnerable position.

“What did you do to him!? What do you want!?” Zodiac snapped.

“Oh simple, really. You have a minute to saw off your leg on those lines or your brother will lose his head.” Zodiac’s heart dropped.

“Don’t do this.” Horoscope whispered to Zodiac. Zodiac looked at the stopwatch the man held and the wire saw close to him. He couldn’t let Horoscope die. He couldn’t make it without his twin.

“No! Just…Just close your eyes!” Horoscope exclaimed at him but the human just grinned looking between them expectantly. And Zodiac didn’t care, he grabbed the wire saw and hooked it under his leg, giving a scream when it began to cut into his skin.

“Zodiac!” Horoscope yelled at him but he didn’t care. Zodiac gave a growl that built into a scream as he moved the wire saw back and forth, slowly cutting through his muscles and veins.

Zodiac felt blood dripping to the floor, veins squirting onto his stomach and face but he didn’t care if it saved Horoscope, the adrenaline in his system making him deaf as he gave a sob as the saw went through his femur.

Zodiac began pulling the wire saw harder and finally his severed leg flopped onto the ground as he panted and looked up to the human, shaking with blood loss already and feeling faint with oncoming shock.

“Good job. Just in time.” The human gloated showing him the stopwatch stopped at 58 seconds and Zodiac gave a heave as he threw up onto the floor as best he could to not get it onto his stump, shaking and sweating.

“Zodi.” Horoscope whispered, looking over his twin and chest heaving.

His twin, his little brother, had sawed off his leg for Horoscope’s life. Zodiac looked like death was coming for him. His precious twin was pale, shaking, sweating. He felt like a bad robot being able to help his twin from getting vomit on his hair and arm as Zodiac tried to puke on the floor and failed.

“Your turn. Would you give your arm for him? Spin the dial.” The human asked. Horoscope looked at the bastard human and then to Zodiac, then turned to flare back at the human, turning the dial all the way up instead of through levels.

Sure it hurt, but Horoscope was full of adrenaline and rage along with the immediacy of the machine on his arm tightening until it crushed his elbow joint into severing his left forearm. He stayed glaring at the human.

“Let. Him. Out.” Horoscope growled.

“Congratulations are deserved.” The human unlatched his shackles to grab him by his foot arm but Horoscope scratched his arm, then his face and was in a complete frenzy of rage and adrenaline, beating the human’s head into the concrete ground and scratching at his face until he couldn’t feel him breathing anymore.

With his rage fading, Horoscope quickly got his twin from the shackles, managing to hold the ties down with his stump and using his right hand to undo the shackles.

Zodiac all but collapsed against him, whimpering and shaking. Horoscope grabbed his twin with his good arm and hooked his stump under his twin’s leg, stumbling out of this accursed abandoned building.

Horoscope spit on the body on the ground on the way out and he carried Zodiac to the only place he knew had people who might help them. The daycare.

He stumbled a little with the heavy door as he tried hard not to hit Zodiac into anything. He huffed with his fading adrenaline and looked up to Sun. The one they threatened, tormented even. But he was looking down at them with…horror.

“We…We tried to hunt.” Horoscope began. “We were starving. And we found a human but the human kidnapped us. Hung each other’s lives for it. Please take care of him.” He carefully knelt and laid Zodiac on the floor. He had to beg, for Zodiac’s sake.

“Don’t let him die. I can’t lose him. Please. Please don’t make me lose him.” Horoscope felt tears drip down his face. Zodiac didn’t look good. He was paler, trembling like a leaf and his eyes were barely open and slowly losing the life in them. He couldn’t survive without his twin. He didn’t want to survive without his twin.

“M-MOON!” Sun called out for his twin, who descended from the balcony by wire, looking over the grizzly scene of blood slowly dripping from the twins’ stumps into the daycare floor.

“My fucking god.” Moon crouched and checked on Zodiac. Zodiac was taking shallow breaths, eyes darting around slowly to look up at Moon. Moon quickly grabbed a ribbon off his wrist and tied it around Zodiac’s thigh to stem the blood flow, then did the same for Horoscope’s arm.

“SOLAR! Come fix his arm!” Moon scooped Zodiac into his arms. “Let Solar help, I need to fix it.” Moon told Horoscope, attaching his fly wire and going up to the balcony to fix Zodiac.

Moon was a little out of his element. He couldn’t just ‘fix’ a bio-organic machine losing its limb. But he had to try. Moon set up the computer to make a functional prosthetic leg for Zodiac.

He grabbed Lunar from outside the door to Moon’s room to monitor the computer making the prosthetic leg. Moon set up a blood IV and saline and began to work to close up the gaping wound and fixing veins as best he could.

Moon liked to think it looked good as he sewed up the end of the stump with a prosthetic attachment spine at the end and he carefully attached the prosthetic to it. Shaking Zodiac a little who blinked up at him and hummed, still dizzy but he didn’t feel faint anymore.

“You lost a lot of blood. Take it easy.” Moon warned him as Zodiac sat up.

“Where’s my brother?” Zodiac asked softly, terrified his twin had died.

“He’s okay, he’s downstairs with Solar and Sun.” Moon assured him.

“I need him. I want my brother.” Zodiac demanded.

“Don’t walk yet, it’s still calibrating.” Moon warned as Zodiac made to swing his legs off the bed. Zodiac looked down at the prosthetic and saw the grey and black gradient, looking over it with interest as he touched it and shivered at the sensitive new limb.

“It’s attached to your nervous system. It takes a bit to calibrate to how sensitive it used to be.” Moon told him, picking him up into his arms and using his fly wire to carry Zodiac down to the daycare.

“Zo!” Horoscope immediately tackled Moon and Zodiac to the floor, his new arm attached by Solar was a gradient of grey to white and Moon huffed but smiled as he held both twins.

“It’s okay. You’re safe here.” Sun assured the twins as he knelt by them, rubbing their backs. Zodiac was so relaxed by the feeling of his twin hugging him that he fell asleep against Horoscope and Moon and Horoscope crashed his adrenaline finally and fell asleep as well.

“Anyone have objections to adoption?” Moon asked.

“Nope.” Sun shook his head, gently taking the twins so Moon could sit up.

“I’m good with that.” Lunar announced.

“As long as they don’t get into my weed, we’re good.” Solar told them.

“You still have that!? How did that even survive the explosion!?” Sun exclaimed.

“Spite and determination.” Solar grinned.

As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity, which can result in fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. While some people turn to injections and surgeries to combat these signs of aging, there are non-invasive options that can be just as effective without the risk of needles or downtime.

Pick Your Poison 15

CWs: Gore and horror elements, whumpee begging not to die, implied future gore/medical whump, nonhuman whumper, undead whumper, "zombie" type body horror

You have a fawn fear response. This is a permanent fact.

You felt sick as you listened to the creaking of bones, and the slap of something wet. Watched as Berkley rose, only able to see his eyes glowing in the dark, though his head seemed to be bent at an unnatural angle. You could feel your heart beating in your chest, and you dropped the metal equipment with a heavy clunk that echoed through the stairwell. “Mr. Johnson?” You cautiously spoke, raising your trembling hands up towards your sides.

You received a wet gurgle as a reply, and he took a step towards you. You instinctively took a step back yourself, only to feel your back press up against the wall. “Berkley? Please I-” You felt yourself starting to get choked up. “Look- please. Whatever you want-” You felt like you couldn’t breathe. You certainly couldn’t get much of a coherent thought. But all you thought about was trying to bargain with, or find some other way, to placate the man you pushed down several flights of stairs. The man who should have been dead. But, that was instead now coming uncomfortably close.

Once he stopped you could only stare, open-mouthed and scared out of your mind. You felt tears streaking down your cheeks. You felt as a hand finally reached out and grazed your cheek. It was slick with something warm and wet.

Blood.

You let out a sob, “Please! Please don’t kill me!”

And for a moment… Nothing happened. Then the hand retracted, but the glowing eyes never left your face. Then his hand reached out and closed around your wrist, he leaned in close enough to just barely see his silhouette. “Behave.” It came out garbled, and strained but the threat was clear. You nodded frantically. “Yes! Yes whatever-!” you were cut off by him shifting to walk, dragging you behind stumbling through the darkness.

—

Surprisingly he didn’t lead you back upstairs, and instead led you toward two heavy iron doors on the ground floor. Once inside though, a fresh wave of dread made your blood run cold. As you look around the room, you see metal tables with more restraints like the chair upstairs, lots more medical surgery type equipment. Things that looked far too painful, and designed to slice into something as efficiently as possible. You thought about trying to pull away, but your fear snuffed that thought out as soon as it entered your mind.

Looking at Berkley was also quite a mistake. He looked like walking roadkill. Blood drenched him from head to toe, his bones looked broken if not shattered, and poked through the skin in several places. Even his head was not unscathed, as his neck was bent at a deadly angle, and there was a large red patch at the back of his head. You quickly averted your eyes, choosing to stare at the gray and dark red floor instead.

You were led over to one of the metal tables and he gestured for you to sit on it. On trembling limbs you obeyed, continuing to avoid looking at him. He placed a hand on your chest and pushed you down, and began the process of tightening the straps. You were trying not to hyperventilate as another round of sobs left your lips, begging this creature… This corpse. Not to kill you. 

“No death…” Was his less than comforting, garbled reply. He held up a rubber bit you hadn’t seen him pick up, and he gestured towards your mouth. “Bite? Gonna hurt…”

New Game + Spoitfy Wrapped: 19!

this one starts playing in my head randomly on its own it's a different sound for them but it fits the tone so fucking well

this is another resistance song!! the new album came out just in time for me to be finishing up blood in the water, and there were a lot of songs on it that worked for both clan gurji and the resistance, so i had the momentum to keep working on some other stuff with morvarn and tarvok following the events of bitw and tarvok's return to omega, with flashbacks to the early days of the resistance and why it formed. it's unfinished, but i got about 8 pages in, soooooo,

spotify wrapped new game+

--

Tarvok sighs and relaxes into the touch, letting his head loll against Morvarn’s broad chest. Ghosts of his flame lick at Morvarn's hands now and again, but nothing dramatic, nothing angry enough to burn. His eyes have opened more by now; both left ones are fully open, the right ones managing halfway. He lets them flutter closed again as he shifts and leans back. “So,�� he sighs, “are you going to lecture me now, or later?”

Morvarn chuffs and adjusts his grip. Tarvok likes to lounge, and it’s easier with him at an angle. “I wasn’t planning one,” he murmurs against an unbruised patch of scalp. The fine bristles tickle his nose. Tarvok is too young to have traces of silver near his eyes, he notes with a twitch of sadness in his heart. “Did you want me to?”

Tarvok snorts. It’s the first sound he’s made that hasn’t whistled on its way out. “I already told the göchalch you would. Might as well. Let’s hear it, how stupid am I?”

“Mm. Very.” Morvarn slides his hand along Tarvok’s arm to his hand, lifts it to his mouth. “Idiot. Such a fool.” He kisses the back of Tarvok’s hand, then the palm. “Don’t taunt the bully, muün, you’re far too handsome to be ground underfoot.”

A soft laugh escapes Tarvok’s mouth, and a smile plays across his lips. Finally. “Hold on, I’m not supposed to like the lecture, you suck at this,” he teases, turning his hand to caress Morvarn’s face. Embers tiptoe across the bridge of skin contact and warm Morvarn's cheeks. They've both learned softness, in their own ways. “But please, by all means, tell me more about how pretty I am.”

His fingers straighten out slightly, just enough to follow the lines of Morvarn’s eye ridges as he tilts his head and kisses each delicate joint. “So beautiful,” he murmurs, turning it back over to kiss his knuckles. “Too good-looking for this kind of life. You were wasted in the military, muxamöc.”

Morvarn’s stomach falls out from beneath him as he looks over the ports grafted into Tarvok’s back. They zigzag back and forth down the line of his spine, more circuitry and tech Morvarn can’t explain webbing out underneath the skin. He wasn’t given time to heal properly – the skin around each muscle is still wet with medigel and blood, both old and fresh. The shirt in his hand is crusty where it rubbed against the wounds. “Tarvok,” he manages, his voice far too small for his size of a man, “what..?”

“I don’t know,” Tarvok hisses. He keeps twisting back and forth, trying to itch the still-growing skin on reflex and forcing himself to stop at the last second. “They just – they said we were chosen for a new project, that’s all I know. We had to do these surgeries before we could start. We’ll find out what they’re for next week.” His jaw tightens, and Morvarn catches the grind of tooth on tooth. “They’re doing it to Kaza as we speak.”

“This was done today?” It shouldn’t surprise him. He’s looking directly at the wounds, and he saw Tarvok laughing and messing around with his squad just a couple nights ago. Of course it was done today. But some part of him refuses to believe it, can’t – no, won’t – accept that something like this was just slapped onto his body all in one go and not even given a chance to stop oozing pus and blood before telling him to put his shirt back on and get out. Tarvok is a lieutenant. He’s a Shad’derah. His family is the jewel of the Hegemony’s good PR with the other species, he and his brothers are nigh-on demigods.

Or, so he’d thought.

Tarvok laughs, a beautiful sound, boisterous and excitable as the man himself. Morvarn only wishes it could last longer, cut off as it is by a pained grunt as his ribs remember they were broken all too recently. It settles back into his chest instead, a smaller, less painful chuckle that doesn’t set his bones ablaze. His good leg moves to drape itself over his knee, and his fingers stroke lazily across Morvarn’s scalp. “Sure, I’ll accept it,” he teases. “I have been thoroughly lectured and seen the error of my ways. You’re so right, O Fearless Leader, it is best for me to stay home and be told how awesome and sexy I am instead of going out and getting my teeth knocked out of my mouth.”

As he shifts, something hard and smooth presses against Morvarn’s leg and chest, and Morvarn fights a grimace. The synth-metal discs are cushioned by Tarvok’s shirt and Morvarn’s pants, but there’s no mistaking them, not ever. Morvarn chooses to be quietly grateful his shirt doesn’t feel wet or stiff. Protected by his armor, he supposes, maybe the only good thing the Hegemony ever gave him. Direct lines into his muscles and spine were an obvious weak point that Balak had been either oblivious to or unable to reach, and Morvarn couldn’t decide which option he preferred for his own peace of mind.

The Facelift Procedure

There are a number of different facelift techniques available today. The one that is right for you will depend on your individual needs, and your cosmetic surgeon’s recommendation. These techniques include:

Mini-Facelift

This technique is best for patients with a mild degree of sagging skin, as it is less invasive than a standard facelift. During this procedure, short incisions located along the hairline above each ear and in the natural creases surrounding the ear are made. Through these incisions, tissues around the cheeks are tightened and lifted to correct jowling and refine the jawline. 

Standard Facelift

This technique is more comprehensive and addresses moderate to advanced aging around the mid-face and neck. Incisions are made just behind the hairline beginning near the temples and around the front of the ear. Through these incisions, your surgeon will reposition the deep tissues beneath the skin and remove any excess skin to create a more youthful facial and neck contour.

Facelift Recovery

Following the facelift procedure, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which will gradually get better with time. Most patients can return to their normal activities after about two weeks, though strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for about four weeks. The face should also be protected from the sun, as patients will be more vulnerable to sunburn for several weeks after surgery. Every person heals a little differently, so your cosmetic surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on how to properly care for your treatment site for the best results. 

Candidates for a Facelift

Adults who feel that their face does not reflect their energy level or youthful spirit, or are unhappy with facial sagging and excess skin on their face and neck can often benefit from a facelift. A consultation at our office is needed to best determine the treatment option for you.

Innovative Treatments for Glaucoma, Cataracts, and Skin Rejuvenation

In the rapidly evolving world of medical technology, advancements are constantly being made to address various health concerns. From treating eye conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts to skin rejuvenation, modern solutions are offering patients more effective and less invasive options. In this article, we will explore the benefits of Laser Glaucoma Surgery, the increasingly popular Morpheus 8 Radiofrequency Microneedling, and how to find the best ophthalmologist for cataracts near me for optimal eye health.

Understanding Laser Glaucoma Surgery Glaucoma is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, characterized by elevated pressure within the eye that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. While there are several treatment options available, one of the most advanced and effective methods is Laser Glaucoma Surgery. This procedure uses a laser to improve the flow of fluid in the eye, reducing intraocular pressure and preventing further damage to the optic nerve.

Laser for glaucoma works by targeting the eye’s drainage system. The laser creates small openings in the trabecular meshwork (the tissue responsible for draining fluid), allowing the fluid to exit more freely. This reduces the buildup of pressure inside the eye, which is the primary cause of glaucoma-related damage. The procedure is typically quick and minimally invasive, with patients often experiencing immediate results and a significant reduction in eye pressure.

Laser surgery for glaucoma is especially beneficial for patients who may not respond well to traditional eye drops or other forms of treatment. It also offers the advantage of being a long-term solution that may reduce or eliminate the need for daily medications. As with any surgery, consulting an experienced ophthalmologist is essential to determine if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure.

Cutting-Edge Solutions: Morpheus 8 Radiofrequency Microneedling While glaucoma and cataracts are primarily concerns for eye health, cosmetic treatments are also evolving in the medical field, offering innovative solutions for skin rejuvenation. One such breakthrough is Morpheus 8 Radiofrequency Microneedling, a procedure that combines the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin.

Microneedling has long been a popular treatment for improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. However, Morpheus 8 Radiofrequency Microneedling takes this treatment to the next level by delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the skin’s layers. This not only enhances collagen production but also stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, resulting in a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.

The treatment is highly versatile and can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, abdomen, and arms. Unlike some laser treatments, Morpheus 8 is safe for all skin types and requires minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for patients seeking noticeable improvements in their skin with minimal disruption to their daily lives.

As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s important to consult with a qualified practitioner to ensure that Morpheus 8 is the right choice for your individual needs. Its ability to combine microneedling with radiofrequency energy makes it one of the most effective skin-tightening treatments available today.

Finding the Best Ophthalmologist for Cataracts Cataracts are another common condition affecting millions, particularly as individuals age. A cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to blurred vision and, if left untreated, potential blindness. Thankfully, cataract surgery has evolved into a highly effective and routine procedure, allowing patients to regain clear vision with minimal risk.

When considering cataract surgery, it is crucial to seek the expertise of the best ophthalmologist for cataracts near me. Cataract surgery involves the removal of the clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial one. While the surgery is considered safe and efficient, the skill and experience of the ophthalmologist play a significant role in the success of the procedure and the patient’s recovery.

A highly qualified ophthalmologist will perform a thorough examination, offer personalized recommendations for the type of intraocular lens (IOL) best suited to your needs, and provide post-surgery care to ensure optimal recovery. With modern cataract surgery techniques, most patients experience significantly improved vision shortly after the procedure, allowing them to return to their daily activities with greater visual clarity.

Why Choose Laser Surgery for Glaucoma and Cataracts? Laser technology has revolutionized eye care, offering less invasive, more precise treatments for conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts. For glaucoma, laser for glaucoma procedures offer patients the ability to reduce intraocular pressure without the need for daily medications or invasive surgery. Similarly, laser-assisted cataract surgery provides more precise incisions and lens placement, resulting in quicker recovery times and better visual outcomes.

By opting for these advanced laser treatments, patients can experience a smoother, safer, and more effective approach to managing their eye health. Whether you are seeking treatment for glaucoma, cataracts, or skin rejuvenation, consulting with a specialist who offers the latest in laser technology can help you achieve the best possible results.

Conclusion From Laser Glaucoma Surgery to cutting-edge skin treatments like Morpheus 8 Radiofrequency Microneedling, modern medical advancements continue to offer effective solutions for both health and cosmetic concerns. Whether you are looking for the best ophthalmologist for cataracts near me or seeking the most effective laser for glaucoma treatment, these innovations are helping patients achieve better outcomes with less invasive techniques. As technology continues to evolve, patients have more options than ever before to improve their quality of life, both in terms of health and aesthetics.
