#their burned and grafted and scarred skin is beautiful

[crookedkryptonitebeliever]

Mm would Yves enjoy taking baths with his darling or no? I’ve been thinking about this myself because I really am not sure myself, while it could be really romantic and intimate (without anything sexual happening) I also get the vibe that he’d be uncomfortable with undressing in-front of his darling or being naked probably because he just hates the feeling but also because of all of the scars that he may have and that might open up a whole other can of worms.

MM! Maybe that’s a part of the reason why he drugs the reader during sex, so they don’t notice certain parts of himself and just simply focuses on the pleasure 🤔 thoughts?

TW: Suicide mention, self harm, body mutilation

Yves doesn't like being naked to anyone. Not even you. He didn't like how his skin looked, but most horribly: wounds that changed into healed scars takes time, seeing them reminded him of his age which he despises.

It doesn't mean that you would never see him nude, though. At some point, you will "accidentally" walk in on him changing because Yves "forgot" to lock the door.

You will see a massive, hideous scar spanning over his chest and back. Of course, you would ask what it is. Yves would take this opportunity to educate you on the dangers of not protecting yourself against deadly UV radiation.

That is true, he was tormented by melanoma for many years due to his excessive tanning and recklessness regarding suncare. Bronze skin was all the rage back then, he was a young, dumb boy who wanted to follow the trends.

You rarely noticed the chaotic, wispy scars on his arms that were caused by whips. Deep scarring on his wrists and ankles from rusted metal chains. Cigarette burns, other cuts, iron branding, scars done in intricate shapes and wounds that are too violent, too manmade, too self inflicted to have been done by skin cancer.

It is no secret to you that his genitals were mutilated and the surrounding flesh is in similar conditions, they're perfectly functional, but anyone could tell that Yves has been through harrowing physical and mental trauma.

Yves's nagging lecture about how you should always wear sunscreen and avoid the rays would already drive you out of the room to question the other ones.

It's always a wonder how he keeps his face, hands and feet flawless. But once upon a time, he was just like anyone else, he had severe acne that would leave him in tears over how ugly he was and how painful the blistering could get. His assailants would ruin his beautiful countenance either due to jealousy or due to some other sick reasons. He had melanoma on his face, the aftermath was made up of tears and a plethora of failed suicide attempts.

Yves wasn't supposed to have his hands functional after how he would physically defend himself or fight with them. No one could count the number of times a blade has cleanly gone through from the front of his palm to the back. He was no stranger to the feeling of being burnt, he had his pinkie and ring finger fused together after being exposed to extreme heat. Yves survived a fire and an explosion in his lifetime.

His feet, goodness, his feet. He walked through broken glass regularly. It was bound together and flogged almost daily, he had nasty infections that cost him his toenails. For a while, he was limping due to how damaged it was. Yves was lucky that he managed to save them before he knew he had to amputate both.

But, they are all seemingly untouched. You wouldn't believe that these three parts of his body went through horrific situations, there isn't even a blemish!

Well, he valued his face, hands and feet more than any other part of his being. Yves placed his all into fixing them, countless reconstructive surgeries, drugs, diets and grafts, all thanks to thousands upon thousands of his innocent, unwilling victims. If it weren't for them "donating" their precious lives for research, transplants or otherwise, Yves would have been a gruesome sight to withhold.

He could eradicate the rest of his scarring if he wanted to. But he's a lot more mature now, anything can be covered by his tops, pants and dresses aren't worth the effort anymore. You and Yves think his smile is beautiful, his fingers feel nice massaging your scalp and he can walk without wincing in pain, that's enough for him.

But back to the main topic, Yves wouldn't take baths with you- He would gladly bathe you as your caregiver, he would be fully clothed as he scrubbed you from head to toe. You might find it strange that he would rather suffer from wet clothes than showing you what's under his turtleneck despite knowing how it looks already.

You can't just try and purposely intrude if you know he's changing clothes or taking a shower. Yves would scold you for being very rude for breaching his privacy, and he would drone on and on about the importance of consent for hours. Of course, he does this after he kicks you out of the room to get fully dressed.

If you want him to be present in the bathroom with you when you're showering, he will be there. Fully clothed. If you're insisting that he joins you, he will. Fully clothed.

When it comes to sex, yes, he drugs you to heighten the pleasure. And it was mentioned that a blanket must be draped over you and he at all times. But these also serve the purpose of blinding you towards the stories his skin could tell. Yves doesn't think you're ready to know, you're too emotionally immature. You couldn't handle the distress no matter how casually or carefully he would word it.

Yves had an entire lifetime to get over it, and he did, but you don't. And that is alright with him, you don't have to know. The past is in the past, Yves couldn't care less about what caused him to look so disgusting. He wants you to hold onto that priceless, priceless innocence and naivety as much as you can.

All he wants you to do now is to relax and have fun. Enjoy the climax and forget the insignificant world around you. To know that you are loved until the very end and beyond. He wants you to smile, to giggle and to take great delight in his tender, loving kisses.

That is what he wants to do as well.

Well- If you're writing about a character with burn scars, the details right matters alot.

Burn scars aren't just a visual trait; they come with physical, emotional, and social challenges that shape a person’s daily life.

If you want your portrayal to feel authentic, here are some things to consider.

First, burns vary in severity.

A first-degree burn, like a mild sunburn, won’t leave lasting scars.

Second-degree burns can, depending on depth and healing.

Third-degree burns, which destroy deeper layers of skin, almost always leave significant scars.

Fourth-degree burns extend to muscle and bone, often requiring surgeries like skin grafts.

If your character has major burn scars, they likely underwent medical treatments, faced mobility challenges, and had to manage long-term skin care.

Burn scars don’t just “heal and go away.” They can be tight, raised, discolored, and sometimes painful for years.

Hypertrophic scars stay within the original burn area and can feel thick and rigid.

Keloid scars go beyond the burn site and grow over time.

Contracture scars, common with deeper burns, can limit movement, especially if they form over joints.

If your character has scars on their hands, face, or neck, they might struggle with flexibility, facial expressions, or even simple tasks like gripping objects.

Healing Process

The healing process isn’t just about scars fading. Burn survivors often deal with chronic itching, sensitivity to heat and cold, and the need for moisturizers, compression garments, or silicone treatments.

Some undergo laser therapy or surgery to improve mobility or appearance, but complete "removal" is unrealistic.

Skin grafts can help, but they leave their own scars and don’t fully restore normal skin texture.

Socially, people with burn scars face reactions ranging from curiosity to outright rudeness. Strangers might stare or ask intrusive questions. Some assume scars are from accidents, self-harm, or abuse, making conversations awkward or painful. Others might offer unwanted advice—suggesting miracle creams or home remedies that don’t actually help.

If your character is self-conscious about their scars, they might cover up, avoid certain situations, or struggle with confidence. If they’re comfortable with them, they might develop a tough exterior, educate others, or challenge beauty standards.

Psychologically, burn survivors often deal with more than just physical recovery. Trauma, PTSD, body image struggles, or a changed sense of identity are common. Some people accept their scars as part of their journey, while others struggle with them for years.

Your character’s reaction depends on their, support system, and experiences.

If you want your portrayal to feel real, avoid clichés. Scars don’t have to define a character, but they do affect their life. They aren’t just a “tragic backstory” feature or something that instantly gives someone a hardened personality.

NOW, it's time to talk about sea salt water thing......

I resesrched alot but couldn't find a better answer other than this...

This is a big misconception

People say the minerals in seawater speed up recovery, smooth out scars, or even “fade” them over time.

No doubt, medical-grade saline solutions are used in hospitals for wound care but raw sea salt and ocean water aren’t the same.

The reality is "exposing burn scars to seawater can be risky".

The ocean isn’t sterile; it’s full of bacteria, pollutants, and irritants that can cause infections, especially if the skin is still healing.

Salt itself is also drying, which can make scar tissue feel tighter and more uncomfortable. Instead of soothing the skin, it often leads to irritation, redness, and even more itchiness.

A study conducted in Western Australia's Gascoyne region examined 28 patients with marine-associated wound infections. The findings revealed that 64.3% of these wounds were infected with Staphylococcus aureus, and 32.1% with Vibrio species. Notably, 39.3% of the infections were polymicrobial, involving multiple bacterial species. ( resource)

Some other myths

Some people believe scrubbing scars aggressively will “remove” them, but that just damages the skin further.

Others swear by home remedies like lemon juice, claiming it lightens scars, but all it does is cause stinging and potential burns from sun exposure.

Oils and herbal creams are often promoted as miracle cures, but most don’t penetrate deep enough to change scar tissue.

Remember that hydration and proper care can improve a scar’s appearance, no natural ingredient can erase one completely. The best approach isn’t following every home remedy suggestion—it’s understanding what actually works and what might make things worse.

So do your research too before using aby home remedy.

🍓🔪🏜️

(and not just specifically because it now looks like the strawberry is issuing threats to the desert)

I'm going to answer these, but oh my goodness am I invested in why the strawberry is threatening the desert!

🍓 How did you get into writing fanfiction? Is it bad to say I honestly don't remember? 😅 The best I can remember is a friend and I were looking at Hetalia memes and stumbled upon fanfiction.net. A world of beautiful mistakes and regrets opened its doors

It kind of amazed me that I could make my own stories about characters I already loved and basically play with the characters like dolls and put them into scenarios and machinations of my own devising. And I never stopped.

🔪 What's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project? Oh, I have a list because I found most of the topics I've had to research fascinating. These are all from fanfics I haven't finished yet, but the top three that sound weird are probably:

Scars. I have done so much research on this subject from burn scars to lacerations, surgical scars, skin grafts, and my personal favorite, Lichtenburg scars. I needed to know the healing time for a few of them, sensitivity to touch and atmospheric pressure (weather and sudden temperature changes), the likelihood of some scars to fade better than others, and so on. One of my main OCs has burn scarring across his upper back and shoulders and some general nicks and cuts that are visible, which kind of spurred this whole interest.

Sexual intimacy and sensitivity in paraplegics. It sounds so much worse than it is, but it ties into my Oracle Tim fanfic where he uses a wheelchair due to paralysis from the waist down. I fell into a pit of interest when I was looking into things regarding paraplegia and spinal cord injuries and needed to know EVERYTHING I possibly could! This included the different wheelchairs, types of paralysis, occupational therapy, and how the human body is so adaptable and unique. I read something about arousal in one article and suddenly needed to know everything about it. You can probably tell by now that anatomy and physiology is a special interest of mine!

Eels. You know the shrieking eels from The Princess Bride? I started a Young Justice AU (I'm going to finish it I swear) and needed to know about eels. They lay eggs, they do not have testicles, they're carnivorous predators, and I made Superboy fight the eels.

🏜️ What's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work? I lose my mind every time I get a comment that either quotes something from the fic and expands on it or screams about it, or picks out a detail I thought would go unnoticed! But people who can poke fun and make me laugh always put a smile on my face for the rest of the day! :D

[chronicparagon]

Roako: "Why do people seem to care so much about scars and burns? It's just another story to tell isn't it?"

"Ah! You heard those comments from earlier?" Harmony tenses when Roako spoke. She didn't expect anyone to notice the rumors and her comment. "You don't need to worry. It's not a common occurrence, but it's been a bit weird today." The last thing she wants is for anyone to be upset for her.

"Well, I think a lot of people don't really care. It's just mine are pretty bad. It's not really like cuts or things like that. I had literally layers of flesh burned off. The skin grafting was a nightmare and it really hurt. It still looks like I'm missing pieces of myself." She imagines the large pits, ridges, and uneven surfaces over her arm and shoulder can disturb anyone.

"I try to be understanding because it's a lot to take in. Really, they make Freddy Kruger's skin look smoother compared to my arm." Harmony bursts out laughing as she says this, but it quickly falters. "Sorry! I...I was trying to be funny." Now, she feels she is two inches tall for that attempt of a joke. "Anyway," Harmony clears her throat before continuing.

"You're right, though. They can tell a story. A story of challenges, pain, loss, but...Also a story of strength, determination, and the victories of a survivor, no matter how small those victories are. I need to learn to stop caring about the few who think they are gross. Scar can be beautiful, at least I think so...They share evidence that we can be strong."

Scars can significantly impact one’s self-confidence and appearance. Whether caused by acne, injuries, or surgical procedures, scars can be stubborn and difficult to remove.

Our clinic provides personalized treatments tailored to different skin types, ensuring optimal results. With cutting-edge technology and expert dermatological care, we strive to deliver the best outcomes for scar reduction, enhancing both skin texture and overall complexion.

Understanding Scars: Why Do They Form?

Scars are the body’s natural way of healing after an injury, surgery, or skin condition like acne. When the skin is damaged, the body produces collagen fibers to repair the area.Depending on various factors such as skin type, depth of injury, and healing process, scars can develop in different forms. The severity and visibility of scars depend on how the skin heals and the type of scar formed. Additionally, factors such as age, genetics, and overall skin health play a role in scar formation. Proper wound care and timely treatments can help minimize scar development.

Different Types of Scars

There are several types of scars, each requiring a specific scar reduction treatment in Palakkad:

Hypertrophic Scars: Raised, thick scars that remain within the boundary of the original wound. These scars may fade over time but often require intervention to flatten and soften their appearance.

Keloid Scars: These extend beyond the original wound and can be itchy or painful. Keloids tend to grow over time and may require multiple treatments, including laser therapy or corticosteroid injections, to reduce their size and discomfort.

Atrophic Scars: Depressed scars, often caused by acne or chickenpox. These scars create an uneven skin surface and may be improved with micro-needling, PRP therapy, or chemical peels to stimulate collagen production.

Contracture Scars: Common in burn injuries, causing tight, stretched skin. These scars may restrict movement in severe cases, and treatment options include laser therapy, surgical removal, and skin grafting to improve flexibility and aesthetics.

Pigmented Scars: Dark marks left behind after acne or injury. Hyperpigmentation can be treated with skin-lightening agents, laser treatments, or chemical peels to even out skin tone and restore clarity.

Causes of Scars

Scars can result from various factors, including: Skin trauma, surgical procedures, and chronic skin conditions can lead to scar formation. The body’s natural healing response determines the size, texture, and color of the scar. Environmental influences, skincare habits, and individual healing capabilities also play a crucial role in how scars develop and persist over time. Seeking a professional Scar Reduction Treatment in Palakkad can help minimize the appearance of scars and restore smooth, healthy skin.

Certain medical conditions that affect skin regeneration

Repeated trauma to the same area, leading to poor healing

Exposure to environmental pollutants, which can delay healing and worsen scar formation

Poor skincare habits, such as neglecting sunscreen, leading to darkened or worsened scars

Hormonal imbalances, which can affect collagen production and the body’s ability to heal properly

Difference Between Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery

When considering plastic surgery, many people often confuse reconstructive surgery with cosmetic surgery. While both fall under the umbrella of plastic surgery, their goals, procedures, and outcomes are quite different. Understanding these differences can help individuals make informed decisions about the procedure that best suits their needs.

What Is Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive surgery is performed to restore the function and appearance of body parts affected by birth defects, injuries, burns, medical conditions, or surgeries like mastectomy. The primary goal of reconstructive surgery is to correct abnormalities and improve functionality, making it a medical necessity rather than a choice. Some of the most common reconstructive procedures include breast reconstruction after mastectomy, cleft lip and palate repair, hand surgery, burn treatment, scar revision, and skin grafting.

This type of surgery provides both functional and aesthetic benefits. For example, someone with a severe burn injury may undergo reconstructive procedures to regain mobility and restore the appearance of the affected area. Many reconstructive procedures are covered by health insurance, as they are deemed necessary for the patient’s well-being.

What Is Cosmetic Surgery?

Cosmetic surgery, on the other hand, is performed electively to enhance appearance rather than to correct a medical condition. It is focused on improving aesthetics, symmetry, and proportion, helping individuals feel more confident about their looks. Some of the most common cosmetic surgeries include rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), breast augmentation or reduction, liposuction, facelifts, tummy tucks, and eyelid surgery.

Unlike reconstructive surgery, cosmetic procedures are not considered medically necessary and are typically not covered by health insurance. The primary goal is to enhance beauty and boost self confidence, which makes cosmetic surgery a personal choice rather than a required medical treatment.

Key Differences Between Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery

The most significant difference between these two types of surgeries lies in their purpose. Reconstructive surgery is performed to restore function and repair defects, while cosmetic surgery is aimed at enhancing appearance. Another key distinction is that reconstructive procedures are often medically necessary and can improve both function and aesthetics, whereas cosmetic surgeries are elective and purely for aesthetic improvements.

Additionally, health insurance coverage differs between the two. Many reconstructive procedures are covered by insurance because they are necessary for a patient’s physical well-being. Cosmetic procedures, however, are generally out-of-pocket expenses since they are not essential for physical health.

Choosing the Right Surgeon in Indore

Whether you are considering reconstructive surgery in Indore for medical reasons or for aesthetic enhancements, it is essential to choose a highly skilled and experienced professional. Look for a board-certified surgeon with a strong track record, modern facilities, and positive patient reviews. An expert consultation will help you understand which procedure is best suited for your needs and expectations.

Both reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries serve different but equally important purposes. While reconstructive surgery helps individuals regain function and normalcy after an accident, illness, or congenital condition, cosmetic surgery allows people to enhance their appearance according to their personal preferences. If you are considering either type of surgery, consult a cosmetic and plastic surgeon in Indore to explore your options and achieve the best possible outcome.

....what about trans people though? What about people with post-cancer asymmetry that gives them severe dysphoria? What about children born with deformities that can severely effect their quality of life if not corrected, like having skin fusing their fingers together or their eyes shut? What about survivors of natural disasters that have been disfigured? What about people with fatty non life threatening growths that severely effect their quality of life? What about trans people? What about people who have experienced severe burns and need skin grafts? What about people who have been mauled by animals and need their face fixed afterwards? What about people who want tattoos removed? Or scars from domestic violence and trauma? What about people trying to escape stalkers that will not leave them alone? What about trans people? What about people trying to escape tyrannical government regimes that are targeting them and need witness protection? What about people who have been disfigured by war to the point where they make people uncomfortable by being around them and make them feel less human, ya know, what modern cosmetic surgery was invented for? What about individuals born with genetics that make them grow too much breast tissue or other encumbering growths and need them removed? What about people with painful overbites or under bites that physically make life hard for them? Or those having non life threatening teeth trauma? What about people who's genitalia have developed in a way make it physically uncomfortable for them to have sex despite wanting too? What about people who have a large mole that's benign but they want to get it removed just in case it becomes malignant? What about people wanting to get warts removed because they are painful? WHAT ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE?????

Seriously all of those count as cosmetic surgery. Yes the culture around modern plastic surgery is detrimental to many women and men around the world and is used to push horrible unattainable beauty standards. But cosmetic surgery exists for so much more than that

And if you ignore all those reasons to call it evil you are being incredibly ableist, transphobic, and sexist....and just anti human rights in general.

i am anti-cosmetic surgery as a whole at this point idc!! idc if that isn’t “progressive”!! “it’s a woman’s choice to get it <3” yes it’s every individual woman’s choice to have the same face and i’m sure it’s completely divorced from misogynistic, eurocentric, capitalistic beauty standards that will shift over time and make those women feel bad about themselves all over again

❛ take off your clothes. ❜ / from kaz !

Kaz's dominance shocks Jay into silence. They admire it, wholly turned on by the spontaneity. "Yes sir," they murmur. Standing, presenting their still clothed body to him, Jay breathes deep before plunging into the act. One hand undoes the collar of their shirt. The other tugs the hem up over their head. They reveal scars from gashes and burns. Places where recovery required skin grafts and gross stitches. All of it scattered across their body, but never defining them.

Where they'd hide themself from most people they stay open to Kaz. He understands what a select few will ever know: A victor's body is a battlefield and a shrine to their survival. Therefore Jay is comfortable stripping for him. Once their clothes lay in a pile on the floor, they look over themself, taking in the beauty of it all for once.

". . . Hm. Your stare's making me blush. Am I gonna be the only one like this tonight? Or are you joining me?"

The Transformative Power of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wished for a change? It could be a scar you'd like to minimize or features you've longed to enhance. Cosmetic plastic surgery might be on your mind, but questions swirl: can it truly transform lives, and is it right for me?

Beyond the Before-and-After: Understanding Transformation

Cosmetic plastic surgery isn't just about achieving a specific look from a magazine. It's about a personal journey towards feeling more confident and comfortable in your skin. This transformation can be physical, emotional, and even social.

Physical Transformation: Procedures like rhinoplasty (nose job) or Breast Implants In Pune can address features that cause insecurity. Imagine feeling happy to wear that swimsuit you love or finally rocking your dream glasses without feeling self-conscious about your nose.

Emotional Transformation: When physical concerns weigh you down, cosmetic surgery can lift that burden. Increased confidence can lead to a more positive outlook, reduced anxiety, and greater self-worth.

Social Transformation: Feeling good about your appearance can translate into feeling more outgoing and confident in social settings. You might find yourself taking on new opportunities you previously avoided.

Stories of Transformation: Real People, Real Results

Sarah, a teacher, felt constantly judged for her prominent nose. After rhinoplasty, she describes a newfound freedom: "Now, I can focus on connecting with my students, not feeling self-conscious in photos."

David, a software engineer, battled self-esteem issues due to excess weight. Liposuction helped him achieve a comfortable physique, leading him to join a gym and embrace an active lifestyle.

These are just a few examples of how cosmetic surgery can be a catalyst for positive change.

Remember, It's Your Journey: Making Informed Choices

Considering cosmetic surgery? Here are some key points to remember:

Do your research: Explore different procedures, understand the risks and recovery process, and consult with qualified board-certified plastic surgeons.

Be honest with yourself: What are your goals? Are they realistic and based on your desires, not societal pressures?

Open communication is key: Discuss your expectations thoroughly with your surgeon. A good surgeon will listen to your concerns and guide you toward the best options for your unique case.

It's Not Just About Looks: Reconstructive Surgery's Impact

While cosmetic surgery focuses on aesthetics, reconstructive surgery plays a vital role in healing and restoration. It can address birth defects, injuries, and the effects of disease.

A woman who has undergone breast cancer reconstruction can regain a sense of normalcy and femininity.

A burn victim can receive skin grafts, minimizing scarring and regaining mobility.

Reconstructive surgery's transformative power goes beyond appearance. It's about restoring function, improving quality of life, and fostering a sense of wholeness.

Embrace Your Journey: You Deserve to Feel Confident

Whether you're considering cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, remember, this is your journey. It's about taking charge of your well-being and feeling your best.

Here are some additional points to consider:

Focus on overall health: Cosmetic surgery is not a magic solution. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise is crucial for optimal results and long-term well-being.

The importance of self-love: While cosmetic surgery can boost confidence, it shouldn't replace self-acceptance. True beauty radiates from within, and surgery should complement, not replace your inherent worth.

Considering Cosmetic Surgery?

If you're contemplating cosmetic surgery, take some time for self-reflection. Research, consult with qualified professionals, and prioritize your physical and emotional well-being. Remember, you deserve to feel confident and comfortable in your skin. Ready to start your journey?

These Scars

a Niki Lauda drabble

Characters: Niki Lauda/Marlene Lauda

Tags: angst, scars, contemplation, f1, injury recovery

Summary: They've only been married for a few months, and yet she's already seen him cheat death.

--

She found him on the balcony. He was silhouetted against the soft morning sun, leaning over the deck railing and staring out at the beautiful Austrian countryside. Marlene took a breath and opened the sliding glass door to the patio, stepping out onto the wooden deck.

She knew Niki heard her as she approached, but he made no move to turn around. Marlene studied, for the thousandth time, the raw skin bleeding through the bandages around his head. His hair had begun to grow back on the left side of his scalp, but the locks that managed to appear around the grafts were sparse and stringy, nothing like the soft curls he had before. 

His crystal blue eyes were fixed on something in the distance, a meditative expression on his face. She followed his gaze. When she looked across the yard of the house, she noticed a group of kids riding their bikes along the dirt road that carved its way through the hills. The sound of their laughter floated across the fields, and it made Marlene smile. Niki, however, studied them with a pensive look as they rode away into the distance.

She was thankful for the peace and quiet. Willi Dungl had managed to pry the oppressive journalists away from their house for a day, feigning some physiotherapy exercise demonstration for the press about Niki’s comeback, so the only sound in the air was the chirping of birds rather than clamoring of the media. No loud people or flashing cameras invading their private home today.

Marlene remained quiet, leaning against the railing next to him. Niki found strength in her supportive silence. He preferred to meditate on things internally rather than speak them aloud. For this reason, others often thought him cold, unfeeling, but Marlene knew better.

She glanced down to where he had his hands resting on the balcony railing. The skin on his right wrist was still raw, a graft not yet fitted by the doctors to help cover the wound. She watched as his fingers remained relaxed against the wooden railing, unburdened by anxiety.

She was aware that Niki knew she was studying him, but she wasn’t deterred. He had told her many times how her gaze wore heavily on his conscience. Marlene did her best not to stare for too long, but she was never able to fully mask her concern. She didn’t think she ever would be able to again.

Her gaze returned to his face after a few moments. The side of his cheek was still slightly swollen from his broken cheekbone, but the lower half of his face was completely normal. The skin was soft and smooth, unmarred by scars in a stark contrast to his scarlet burns. She yearned to reach out and touch him, to cradle his face and tell him for the hundredth time that everything would be alright. 

But she didn’t. Instead, she simply leaned over the railing next to him, standing by his side, offering her silent comfort as they gazed out over the sprawling fields. They could take in this rare moment of peace before reality caught up with them once again.

*bows down to you* I would like to know your despair arc headcanons for antag reader! Literally love antag reader so much 😳

ahhhhhh nonny please let me treat you to my adoration, i can’t thank you enough for asking me about my despair arc hcs for antag reader

Request for: Fuck it, not even Hajime anymore it’s just antag reader. Girlboss moment Warnings: fuckin despair arc tings lmao there’s a lot to deal with, face cutting, abuse (emotional, mental, physical) cuz hi junko enoshima, manipulation cuz hi junko enoshima, self mutilation/harm, mikan/junko toxicity, gore, vomiting  ~~~

Headcanons:

🐇Okay so I’ve said it before but!! 🐇She was in that toxic relationship between Mikan and Junko 🐇Junko would make her and Mikan compete for any and all affections just to cause them both despair (which even if “won”, was still denied) 🐇And then anytime she could, Junko would just absolutely berate (Y/n)’s looks and talent, calling the Ultimate Copycat a “fake talent” and “just stealing” 🐇So after Junko died, (Y/n) found her body and cut off portions of her face and replaced them with patches of Junko to “be more like her Despair” 🐇She would find people who wanted to fight for hope and take them in, insisting that she was on their side and would lead them to her house for “safety” 🐇Then she’d just restrain them with Mikan so they could perform experiments and surgeries on them together 🐇Definitely helps Kazuichi build his bigger machines, using the more intelligence she has to make better plans for what they’ll do with them 🐇I imagine that as a copycat antag, she’s got a shitload of charisma so she prolly just gets a load of followers 🐇I’m not saying it’s a cult… but 🐇Probably was the influencer for Nagito’s decision to become Servant 🐇Since he was already serving her all the time pre-despair he decided to join the WOH as their servant  🐇As for when she got captured by the Future Foundation… 🐇Was probably one of the harder ones to capture like Nekomaru and Gundham since she could be the Ultimate at almost anything she wanted 🐇When being interrogated by the Future Foundation she was probably smug and cocky af 🐇A solid match for Byakuya, no joke 🐇Maybe worse, like at least he sort of mellowed out with responsibility 🐇Keeps her mouth tightly shut until they mention anything about her face or Mikan 🐇Because as much as she doesn’t truly romantically love Mikan, she’s not even sure she loved Junko, she does care about the nurse very deeply 🐇So it’s when they mention having captured her that they get any sign of emotion other than cockiness 🐇When they say they have Nagito, that also gets them some words from her 🐇But if they say anything about her face, she has a little breakdown and throws a fit about how she’s better than everyone else in the room and she could kill them all if she wanted and she’s more beautiful than any of them could ever dream to be 🐇Didn’t get the chance to help Izuru release Junko into the Neoworld Program, but definitely would have if she could

Stories:

“Would you kill for me?” Junko murmured, bringing a hand up to caress (Y/n)’s cheek, rubbing her thumb over the bone, “Would you die for me?”

“I would!” she cried hysterically, tears already streaming down her face, “Please, say it! Please, just say it! I would do anything for you, please, just love me… I love you! I love you! Just love me, please…”

Her brows furrowed, bringing her gentle touch back to whip the copycat in the face with a backhand slap, “You’re so ugly, a little piggy ripe for the slaughter.”

Sobs pulled at (Y/n)’s convulsing body as she heaved on the ground. Her throat closed and dried up, chest burning and stomach churning until she finally felt her gag reflex trigger. She spat out stomach acids as she wept over a love that was never hers.

“God, you’re so nasty,” Junko kicked her in the ass, knocking her down into her own puke, “Get out and don’t come back until I command.”

“Love me… love me… love me… please… I beg you…!”

~~

“Do you think if I crushed my hand, Junko would care?”

“No.”

“Sonia wouldn’t care if you crushed yours.”

Kazuichi’s eyes flickered from his work to (Y/n), “I know.”

“It’d be…”

“Despairful?”

“Absolutely morbid,” her tone was breathy, a grin easing up over her lips and heart beating faster as she set aside the half-finished Monokuma and pressed her hand onto the metal desk, raising her heavy wrench above her head. 

Kazuichi was quick to copy the moves, eyes wide in anticipation and muscles twitching as his brain desperately tried sending the signals for him to stop.

“One…”

“Two…”

“Three!”

Screams echoed in the warehouse following the sickening crunch of bones under the torturous weight of their wrenches. Kazuichi looked at the girl through his tears, “Again?”

In the midst of her agonized cries, she nodded, blubbering about how horrific the pain was, “Yes, yes, again!”

And so, the countdown started once again.

“One, two, three!”

More bones broken, more pain blasting through their hands for their beloveds to reject everything they were. For the loves they held so dear to look upon them and their injuries and roll their eyes - because they were meaningless in their loves’ eyes.

And that was the despair they craved.

~~

Nagito held out his chain, grimacing when it was Izuru who took it rather than (Y/n) before shoving that hatred back into his chest. Izuru may be a despair-filled faker with no real talent he’d been born with, but he himself, Nagito Komaeda - Servant - was worse. 

He wasn’t worth the air in his lungs. Not even human garbage as he was barely passable as a human being. 

Then, his eyes traveled once again to (Y/n). His dearest and closest friend.

Izuru may have had more talents mastered, but she was natural. She was genuine and had taken the time to master her Ultimate herself while Izuru had them all planted inside his brain as if he had a right to them at all. It was like watching a slacker get all the credit that a hard-worker had already done. Infuriating.

He wished to see (Y/n) ascend into hope once more, he truly believed she could pave the way above everyone else. She had to. She was better than everyone else, it was up to her to return them to hope, once she realized hope for herself.

He believed in her and her hope - once Enoshima’s metaphorical hands were ripped from her spirit.

And he liked to think she had fresh patches of skin that weren't hers, still red around the scars and peeling, were there for the same reason he had a new hand that wasn’t his.

~~

“She’s so much like Byakuya,” Makoto mumbled, watching through the glass as their newest captured Despair, (Y/n) (L/n), tapped her nails against the table her hands were chained to.

“First that troublesome imposter and now her, who do they think they are? They’re not even near being worthy of the Togami name.”

Kyoko scanned the girl, “She was screaming at the guards earlier when they pointed out the scars and patches on her face. Perhaps bringing it up again will get her to talk about some things.”

“We…” Makoto stopped, shivering at the memory of Junko Enoshima’s corpse when they’d found it on the side of the road outside their old school. Patches missing from a bloodied, pulpy face, “We already know what happened. What more could you want her to talk about?”

“Maybe she knows where some of her classmates are.”

“The nurse freaked out when we mentioned her, maybe if we bring Mikan up to (Y/n), she’ll have a similar reaction,” the Ultimate Hope offered up.

Nodding, Kyoko turned towards the door into the interrogation room, “It’s worth a shot.”

~~

Five minutes was all they got, Makoto Naegi said. He was compassionate and understanding and so sweet. Of course, he’d set up a meeting between the lovers who didn’t know if they ever really loved each other.

Mikan was always unusually cold and smelled of lavender with a hint of vanilla, her hands were soft and her lips a lovely shade of pink.

Now, as (Y/n) held the nurse’s hand over the interrogation table and basked in her presence, she could feel how much she’d changed in despair. She was still cold but now she reeked of dirt and blood, no matter how many showers she’d taken. Her lips were much paler; dry and cracked. Hands rough and calloused.

“They told me you took her womb.”

“You took her face.”

“You’ll bear her children?”

“You’ll bear her beauty?”

It was always a fight. It was always a competition. For more. For love. For the affection and attention they’d been deprived of all their lives.

“Have you… tried conceiving?”

There was silence. Mikan looked down at the table and then back up at (Y/n).

Her skin was no longer peeling along the jagged incision sites but her scars were infecting when she’d been taken in and it was obvious. They were puffy and oozed every so often.

She looked back down.

“With who?”

Shaking her head, Mikan tightened her grip on the girl’s hand.

“Why didn’t you get me to do the skin graft?”

“You were probably busy.”

“I would’ve done it anyway. I’d done Fuyuhiko’s eye.”

There was more silence. Stiffness building in the girls’ bodies the longer their quietness buzzed in the room.

“Am I still beautiful…?” it was rare to see vulnerability in (Y/n).

“Almost like our beloved herself.” it was rare to hear a lie from Mikan.
