    Top left, bottom left, bottom right, middle right. They look like they’re wearing someone else’s face. It’s the dead eyes and the area around the jaws that really screams “It put the lotion on the skin.” Top left, the after, I swear I’ve seen that exact look/expression in a horror video game, I just can’t place it.

    I have a dream where I am running away from Loomar and no matter how fast I run she is always right behind me. And then I fall and she is standing her fingers wrapping around my neck choking me I try to fight back and her face falls off and its just a bunch of bugs then I wake up and realize I forgot to take my lanyard off.

    I bet she is just as rude to her plastic surgeon as she is to service workers. Its like they where experimenting to see how much botox they can inject into a person before it kills them.

    Oh my god she is 32. What the fucking fuck?

      Well, tbf demonstrating that the rules don’t apply to the in-group is part of fascism. It’s kinda funny that they’re this committed to the bit though, they look like absolute freakish ghouls now and will never be the same.

    This is like in star wars when good people turn towards the dark side and their appearence turns into monsters.

    Not for Anakin though, he is special and needs to look good to sell tickets.

      It’s like most science fiction revolving around this particular topic. The ostentatious need to show off this sort of perverse wrecking of somebody’s skin and face is meant to signal something. This is a modern version of being fat to show that you have wealth.

      It’s meant to show that you have the disposable income to become whatever version of beautiful Trump wants. In this case it’s seeking out Eastern European features one faces that otherwise wouldn’t house them.

      And why everything looks like a goddamn clown mask. They’ve gone too far too fast and with too much modification. Welcome to repo the genetic opera or so many other stories.

    The mask used in Halloween for the Michael Myers character was the face of William Shatner (Shatner apparently didn’t know for many years). They made it creepier by bleaching it or painting it or whatever.

    Future Halloween movies, or some competing franchise, can use masks of these people. No modifications needed. In fact, maybe let’s tone it down because we want to make a scary movie, not traumatize everyone.

      The one in the upper left already looks like one of the masks from the Purge movie. Down to the plasticky shine.

    I think I figured out part of why the word “ghoulish” kept coming to mind.

    When the face is full of filler, the eyes become sunken in.

    Just like a ghoul from fallout.

    And then they all have small noses. And these too will sink in.

    So ghoul.

    The thing is, it’s almost impossible to have that filler removed. Plus it has stretched the skin. So removing it would make their face look like how the skin looks in an area of extreme weight loss. That’s kinda whatever on people who have lost weight/had babies , It is what it is.

    But This will really mess up the face. It’s not natural.

    The alternative is to keep adding more filler until the face is 5x thicker and the eyes are so far sunk behind bags of filled flesh that they look black and demonic.

      Plus the filler is absorbed by the body, but at different rates. So in a few years it’s gonna be irregular and lumpy. Some people go to the extreme length of having glass microbeads mixed with the filler (this is illegal in the US) but those migrate around within the tissue. Once you start this shit, it’s just a constant Death Becomes Her maintenance operation to keep it from looking worse.

      Or as they say in Ab Fab, “pretty soon you’re a just visitor in your own face.”

        I’m thinking of those vault 88 experiments you do with the bike, the soda machine, and the slot machine. (I’m currently playing FO4. First time. it’s mostly polished and pretty fun. )
