I’m going to make a mental note of Imogen’s markings, since I pay attention to them, just to see where they’re at.

this is an appreciation post for the Nein and their crow's feet

do NOT start commentary about their ages, this is a crow's feet appreciation post

captainofthetidesbreath

half a dozen people and counting have commented on this post (and elsewhere in the fandom) on these wrinkles with a variation of "they've been so happy it shows on their faces" or about laugh lines or smile lines, but to be clear: that is not what this post is about.

this post is about them being depicted as not looking baby smooth for the majority of their lives. it's about them being allowed to have crow's feet at an age that many consider young but is in truth a fairly normal age to have them.

aging is fine and perfectly normal even if it does not happen as a result of laughter or smiling. you can get crow's feet for reasons other than happiness, especially because the skin around the eyes is delicate. that's normal and fine.

I understand wanting to romanticize wrinkles by associating as many as possible with happiness, but the truth is, many wrinkles will not be a result of that. that's fine. crow's feet that come about through sun exposure or drawing your eyebrows together in perpetual confusion at your coworkers are just as normal and valid as any other.

sure, many people's crow's feet come about after years of happiness and laughter. but, that wasn't the point of the post, really. I was appreciating that they're allowed to have any at all, whether they came about through happiness, tragedy, or the completely neutral circumstances of living. accepting that aging is normal and natural applies to the wrinkles that aren't happy too.

it didn't even occur to me to think about them as laugh lines, frankly, because I was simply grateful for them as a completely neutral reality of aging into your late 20s and beyond.
