have you ever had a dream where you
Last night I had a dream where a bunch of the richest people on earth built a big spaceship and left the planet and tried to drop a nuke on Earth to kill the rest of us so we couldn’t come after them or something but we deflected it and blew them up instead

A whole ago we read a post about the increase dnumber of fictives and how that relates to the digital age and how easy media consumption is and today really emphasised that for us.
Today at work we burnt our fingertips pretty badly, and just kept working for a while. This obviously hurt like a bitch- we were pretty out of it and when we weren't we were trying to distract ourselves from it, and the way we did was to think about a podcast we'd listened to recently (wooden overcoats, I recommend it). Focusing on the characters and distracting ourselves with media.
And you can see how when ones immediate reaction to a distressing situation is to turn to fictional characters how much more likely fictives would become then.
I just thought it was a cool example of it :)

bro i luv spider-punk but i specifically wanna talk about his hair
[image description: a gif from Across the Spider-verse of Hobie, without his mask, saying: "I was this cool the whole time." End image description]
he. has. wicks!!!
the origin of wick dreadlocks is florida usa, and are named due to the resemblance to a "candle wick" because of how they stick straight up and/or out!
now, wicks have a bad reputation even within the loc community.
its already known that like if you got dreads, generally, ppl think u are unkempt, and dirty, and things of that nature, but there is even more discrimination against wicks its unreal. like legit yall i cant even begin to explain the nasty shit ppl say about them because i will be sad.
its kinda just considered the "crazy Florida man hairstyle". and a lot of the hate is due to the fact that wicks, appear "unkempt" or things of that nature
there has been a lot of texturism in the loc community which has brought with it the idea that dreads need to be retwisted to be "properly" taken care of, and need to be flat on your head and all these other things that often bring with it the need to hide your natural hair. i get unsolicited advice on my hair all the time telling me "i need a retwist" because of the belief that black hair needs to be all tidy and stuff to be respected.
but the thing is, dreads aren't meant to be all neat and tidy all the time y'know. its black hair in one of its most natural forms. and who better to showcase that than hobie brown, spider punk?
wicks kinda go against everything that dreads are "supposed" to be and "supposed" to look like.
i just love everything about this movie but i especially wanted to like talk about this hair choice. hair most def has meaning, especially black hair, so i think this was a really cool and fitting design choice for his character and everything he represents.
(i did my best to like articulate my thoughts but hopefully this makes at least a bit a sense)

honestly it was a red flag when bbc sherlock went “well obviously the word written in blood isn’t the german word for revenge, it’s clearly the beginning of the name ‘rachel’, what absolute idiot would fail to see that” when in the original novel it is, in fact, the german word for revenge, which sherlock points out gleefully to a roomful of policemen who all figure it’s the beginning of the name ‘rachel.’
and by red flag I mean it was a clear sign that the adaptation was trying to one-up the source material, instead of engaging with it with love.
