fictionalTime Warp Wives.
What do you lot think of this? I am at a loss. I never know what to make of these people. On the one hand, I admire their dedication to detail. For another, I am really into vanished worlds as well. (Hello, cosplay! Dressing up is awesome. Recreating lost worlds, equally so.) In addition, it's nice to live in a time, where people can be this weird, and not get, y'know, stoned to death or whatever. I support people's constructed, fictional lives, no matter what fashion, as long as they're not hurting anyone, - and it's great that they've been able to find people of like mind to live with etc.
BUT. They are crazy. tin. hats. Like, I get the desire, but not the 24/7 of it all, you know. Obsession can be taken too far.
Here's the other thing. It's like the male-dom thing in bdsm. Like, I've been known to find it really hot. BUT. in sex! Not in real life, right? Politically I find it to be repugnant and stupid. (Femme-dom too, for that matter, but you know what I mean.) For me, the great thing about recreation of these vanished times, means that we can keep the things we like for play, and lose the things we don't. Also I like running water, the internet, eyeglasses & contact lenses, etc etc.
I just don't know.
Thoughts?

Date: 2008-08-08 10:44 pm (UTC)Living in a fantasy world seems - I dunno, it can seem oddly attractive. Like taking both your feet off the ground and jumping in. I envy, on some level, their willingness to do it, and also their committedness. I am far too flightly and fickle to wholly embrace any one kind of lifestyle. On the other hand, all those things I just mentioned - the detachment from reality - I find myself kinda despising.
Hence my confusion.
