uh i just saw a gifset of Michael Fassbender that was a close-up on his face while he was talking in a candid setting and not in makeup and uh holy shit he looks old
(cut for unneccessariness)
I get it, people who are into him, that’s fine, I’m not judging you at all, I’m not not a fan, but oh my god. I had to look up how old he is. He was born in 1977. That’s the same year my older sister was born. He’s two years older than me.
He has like… really similar coloring to me, is the thing, and like, the same skin type, and like, a similar genetic makeup– he’s Irish and German, I’m Irish and assorted-Germanic/Anglo mutt– and my god, his skin is like… crinkled parchment.
He’s aging like milk, ok, and while it’s generally considered Aesthetically Acceptable for a dude to look like that, he looks like he’s well into his fifties ok, and like.
Anyway. That was unneccessarily snarky of me I guess, I’m just horrified to contemplate my genetic heritage and our absolutely antagonistic relationship with the passing of time. He’s forty-one and that’s just too much character for one face, all right, he looks like a corrugated shark.
He looks like someone who’s spent their life working outdoors. Maybe this was a deliberate effort on his part, to get more… rugged parts?
I’m not judging him, if it was, and sure, he looks attractive, it suits him, but– I’m just sort of staggered by how goddamn old he looks. I had this vague notion that he was about my age, and it was right, and my god, do I have eye crinkles like that I just haven’t noticed????
I am going to go moisturize immediately. And put a hat on.

Drinking water like you're a fish is helpful. Talk to a dermatologist regularly. You're probably high risk for skin cancer.
