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: 2008-08-11 04:11 am (UTC)I've tried knitting before, but I suck; I have a lot of trouble managing the needles. And I think I pull on them too tightly, and everything just gets really tight, and then I can't get the needle back in, and it is terrible.
I really love handcrafts, but I am bad at them. In college, I and a gaggle of friends used to sit in the lounge and watch Buffy and cross stitch. It's...uh... never managed to prevent me from judging out loud though. Probably I am doing it wrong ;-)
