yknow how some people dont visibly age as they get older. yea

also find a source that isnt a deleted website from 06 written before episode 2 ever came out lol

also its one single voiceline find more than 1 at least

A few months ago, I received an ask from some troll trying to argue that canon voice lines, Valve's own website, common sense, and Gordon's extremely 30-ish looking canon model do not constitute sufficient evidence that he's not 47, because "some people don't visibly age." (Tell me you don't know of or interact with any middle aged people who aren't rich celebrities without actually telling me.) For obvious reasons, I never intended to answer this ask, but I replayed Half Life 2 recently and caught a voiceline from Dr. Breen that I feel compelled to share.

You want more than one voiceline? Cool. In addition to Eli's fairly unambiguous "My God, you haven't changed one iota!" and other lines indicating that he knows about the G-man, we've also got br_overwatch07:

"How could one man have slipped through your force's fingers time and time again? How is it possible? This is not some agent provocateur or highly trained assassin we are discussing. Gordon Freeman is a theoretical physicist who had hardly earned the distinction of his Ph.D. at the time of the Black Mesa Incident. I have good reason to believe that in the intervening years, he was in a state that precluded further development of covert skills. The man you have consistently failed to slow, let alone capture, is by all standards simply that—an ordinary man. How can you have failed to apprehend him?"

Discourse implications aside, man, we do not talk enough about Breen's relationship with/knowledge of the G-man and his employers' interests. Like, Breen can definitely see with his own eyes that Gordon doesn't look like he's aged, but this feels... more sinister than that.

#asks #anon #I really don't think the G-man was giving Gordon retinoid treatments and botox in stasis my guy #and it's SO INTERESTING to think that Breen ALSO knows Gordon's just been in a freezer somewhere #I am having so many thoughts that I cannot form into words #also god Breen roasts Gordon so hard in the breencasts and it's kinda funny but he's also objectively correct #and I bet this is so frustrating for him

"american sunscreen sucks, if you want the good shit you have to try asian or european sunscreen" 100% sounds like a lie to get you to buy fancy sunscreen but having tried an amazing (and cost-effective) korean sunscreen I am thoroughly convinced. even cerave's ultra-light face sunscreen sucks pretty bad and I normally love cerave so it hurts me a little bit to say this. the white cast it leaves is undeniable though. on the other hand isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel goes on completely clear, no greasy shiny sheen, doesn't burn or stink, doesn't make you break out, and after five minutes you'll basically forget you're wearing it. and this bottle was twenty-five bucks with shipping but after near-daily use for three months I'm still not out!!!

#after getting on the retinoid train I have to be really good about wearing sunscreen so finding one that doesn't suck was imperative #also going through the socal public school system means a healthy fear of skin cancer has been drilled into me since I was ten

just saw some skincare influencer say people can/should start using anti ageing skincare from their late teens

#me blacklisting every anti aging skincare related term on instagram like it's a full time job #someone in the comments was like I'm 16 should i be using retinoids? and the influencer said yes if she wants jesus christ that is a child! #talking

(making a beauty tips TikTok) and don’t forget to take a loooot of retinol, specially when you’re pregnant, so that your baby will come out with immaculate skin :)

#in case you can’t tell: please for the love of god NEVER ever take retinol or retinoids during pregnancy #it WILL fuck the baby up

Luxury skincare is a scam, but I think it can help in the short-term as far as ritualizing self-care and investing in a future self and thinking a bit more forward.

There’s something about doing things that take time to work that encourage you to keep your future in mind.

#I just think it’s rather difficult to be suicidal when you’re starting a retinoid #or planting seeds for a vegetable garden #or working on a 12-hour ramen recipe

I got that new barrier support serum from the ordinary. Was I influenced by the fact it’s pink? Yes.

#was I already using a centella serum I love from mary&may? yes #I’m on such a journey with my skin right now it feels bad and wrong to say but coming off tret (the actual prescribed from a derm tret) #after 4 years….my skin is the best it’s ever been since I stopped using it. by a long shot #and it feels like heresy to say that because everyone knows tret is the cure all of everything #but it finally feels like my skin is normal again #I’m like regular oily instead of really really greasy #I have less spots…and the spots I do get heal quicker #and I’m not having to pile on occlusive products any more #hypochlorous acid has been INCREDIBLE for my texture #I still get clogging on my chin but you can’t see it I just feel it #it’s crazy. idk what to say #I’m still incorporating retinoids in my routine but I just massively backed off from script strength and antibiotics and stuff

[scooplery]

i'm so sick of having difficult skin lol :(

#the pimple patches. the prescription antibiotics. the prescription retinoids. the acids. RELEASE ME #why am i breaking out so bad with acne AND my skin is super dry and chapped?????? WHY #SCREAM

[musiquesduciel]

The fastest I've ever clicked on a video was today after having flipped my screen on in the morning and seeing Doctorly's video on Tretinoin on my youtube feed.

#I've been waiting for this for ages and hope they upload more content on retinoids & their derivatives #skincare #tretinoin #personal

Went to the clinic last weekend and had facial skin analysis. Age is catching up on my skin so i need some discount against its effect. I hope this retinol can help give me a big discount 😅

BO KATAN IS 50??

#GIRL #does she use a retinoid?

[mabelsguidetolife]

I really didn’t know that rosewater toner was so integral to my skincare routine until i ran out, tried using ice cubes as a replacement (which failed) and then got witch hazel because i couldn’t find what i wanted, ruining the microbiome of my skin because i forgot to check that it was alcohol-free and it indiscriminately damaged my face a bit……

but now that i found it, have been using it, and remembered to use a few pimple patches for the sensitive spots, it’s healing up okay

#haleylyfe #i never understood why growing up every puberty resource was like ‘you have skin problems???? BURN THE SHIT OUT OF IT WITH CHEMICALS’ #like i understand a retinoid cream because as long as you use sunscreen/moisturize while using it then it shouldn’t really burn at all #*gel is what i used and meant #but even benzoyl peroxide and stuff is kind of a lot for the gentle skin of the face

[cosmicrhetoric]

omg cystic acne hiiiii welcome back! how have u been

#💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 #this is my first time on a retinoid that isnt irritating the shit out of my skin but I guess it doesnt ward against hormonal acne huh #and i cast spell of acne begone

[couriersiccs]

me: “i’m excited to get old and get wrinkles! fuck an unrealistically elaborate skincare routine, i WANT to look my age as i age!”

me, at the ripe age of Not Even 30 Yet, seeing smile lines and crow’s feet developing: “hm........ yknow maybe it’s not a bad idea to wash my face once or twice every day.. maybe moisturize in the morning AND evening... that’s like ACTUALLY good hygiene and maybe it’ll actually help my acne and having a routine is kind of nice....”

#.txt #bashing away the demon telling me to invest in retinoids #I WILL EMBRACE WRINKLES...... when i am at least over 30...

in my experience retinol works better if your skin isn't 100% dry before applying it (or maybe its all the placebo effect dsjfs) but tbh you can do this by either just, washing your face as usual and then applying the retinol after lightly drying you face (basically make sure your skin isnt dripping wet) or like, 20 to 30 mins after applying your usual mosturizer. Also my dermatologist recced me using a moisturizer with retinol not cause 'it works best' but cause it can dry your skin a lot & using both products minimizes the side effects! You can also try to use the retinol without moisturizing your face first and after the trial period (dont rememeber how long retinol takes to show results, sorry) decide if you're happy with or if you want to try adding a moisturizer! Hope this helped!

yeah I’ll definitely need to follow it up with a good moisturizer (I love weleda and eucerin) I have rlly dry skin especially during the winter 😭 thank you :)

#I’m gonna get a toner but I might also try to put it on without it just to see #but knowing my skin I should probably prep it I have very dry skin #I haven’t had a skincare routine since pre Covid I got so lazy #but I rlly need a retinoid my skin is acting up again it was ao goood for a few years #asks
