I had to read this like four times.

I don't know if I agree with it being "weird" though. For me it's more like revisiting an old friend, I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

Depends what it is, IMO. If it's something that I've reread or re-experienced multiple times over the years, then yeah, it's an old friend.

But if it's something that I had almost forgotten about, and haven't spent any time with in a decade, then it can be really disconcerting. It's like the memory is almost unconscious - you find yourself watching or reading it, and it's intensely familiar to you and you recognize all the rhythms on an unconscious level while not being able to rationally command those memories.

IDK, I totally get where OP is coming from.

DA

That's a really trippy feeling (and great description, I felt weird as I imagined what you expressed there in writing!). I think I may have experienced it before, but differently? Almost like deja vu, but mistaking a long lost piece of something I read or saw as my own memory, only to t4wlize moments later it was from something else (not lived).

It's weird for OP. Obviously it might affect other people differently.

just wanted to say - great design, great secret

[(Anonymous)]

It's weird to me, too OP. I'll see something about a character I was so into and it's so strange to not feel anything anymore. It's almost like seeing an old boyfriend and you're like "What was I thinking?!"

I often find it feels "smaller", like I read a lot into it that I realise wasn't there.

For example, a few weeks ago I finished rewatching Star Trek TOS. I used to be obsessed with the show and all the subtle Kirk/Spock and the theme of everyone being miserable and lonely in their actually dystopian world. This time it just seemed quaint with shallow lore and a feeling that the writers just made stuff up from script to script as it was needed with no running arcs.

I guess I have a very overactive headcanon as it's happened several times for me.

For me, it's often the opposite. I can see just how good the writers of my youth were - people like Rosemary Sutcliff and Arthur Ransome.

The biggest shock of the lot was re-reading Biggles books set in the First World War. As a child I'd read them as adventure stories. As an adult, I was boggling all the way. Those boys were less than twenty years old, most of them, and it was the most horrifically dangerous aspect of the war. 19 year old Biggles seemed so grown up to me on the first read; as an adult my thought was, "My god, he's so young." And the author was a pilot himself, after serving at Gallipolli, and he saw his observer killed...

Many of the stories of that era, the inter-war and post-war years, are really, really good.

Hmm.

I find that happens with things I didn't like then (I have younger siblings, so there are a few things I didn't like that I have seen/heard over and over again) and things where my taste has definitely changed.
