Where/when

[(Anonymous)]

If you could live any place and any time within the 19th or 29thC then where and when would it be?

Re: Where/when

[(Anonymous)]

Mid West 1960s. Get that All American Boomer lifestyle with all the perks.

Re: Where/when

[(Anonymous)]

Same. Place and time where a days work actually paid you enough to live.

Re: Where/when

[(Anonymous)]

The 29the Century?!?

Re: Where/when

[(Anonymous)]

I suspect a typo.

Re: Where/when

[(Anonymous)]

The 90s. In either London, or on the West Coast in America somehwre (can't decide between Seattle and the SF Bay).

Re: Where/when

[philstar22]

I'd totally live in the 29th century if I could.

Uh, I guess I'd say civil rights movement, fight for labor rights, early feminist movement. Any of them would be awesome to be a part of.

Re: Where/when

You'd want to live in the giant spider war?

What relationships/situations in media hit different now vs years ago (or when you first experienced it)? Good, bad or otherwise.

Young me watching the A:tLA fandom go apeshit over Kataang vs. Zutara: This is a legit argument. *makes popcorn*

Me now: She’s 14. They're 12 and 16. Both pairings are squicky.

Re: Inspired by #4

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, hold on, you're squicked by 16 and 14?

Ngl I still find ship-wars funny, because people get so heated about nothing, it's hilarious.

Am definitely more often on the side of the "annoying" adults in teen stories now (unless ofc they're comically unreasonable/evil).

Re: Inspired by #4

I read a book called This Lullaby when I was a teenager and I thought the main character was insufferable. She was kinda mean and had no filter and I didn’t understand why the guy she ends up dating was even into her. I read it again when I was older and her character made a lot more sense to me. She doesn’t have the best role models for a romantic relationship and she’s seen how life treats people who are nice. I still thought she was a little hard-hearted, but I like her better now.

Me watching Neverending Story as a kid: The horse dying is the saddest thing ever.

Me watching Neverending Story as an adult: They look like big strong hands...😭

Also, when I watched LOTR when they originally came out, I was huge into Aragorn. On recent rewatches, I love Faramir so much!

I'm so much more irritated by Jack in Romancing the Stone than I was.

My brain honestly has no idea what to do with Big now.

However, contrary to how some people now feel about Ferris Bueller's Day Off, I absolutely still think Rooney was in the wrong. As a matter of fact, it's worse now. Nine absences are a lot, but ten excused absences were allowed at my school at the time. The man is obsessed and it's creepy, especially since he talked with Mrs. Bueller and that should have been it. Instead, the man went out, put his hands on someone he presumed to be Ferris, knocked out the dog by force, and broke into the Bueller home (scaring the crap out Jeanie). The whole Jeffery Jones thing does not help.

As a teen I used to listen to Into the Woods (musical) and think, Oh, it's all a clever, humorous allegory!

Had the chance to see a live production recently and was left stunned and weeping. It's not even a parable, it's STRAIGHT UP REAL LIFE.

Kid me watching Leon: The Professional: "Mathilda was saved by Leon, such beauty such tragedy"

Adult me watching it pre-#metoo: "ew why did the movie protray Mathilda's crush on Leon so creepy?"

Post-#metoo, I felt like Jean Reno's portrayal of Leon was what kept the film from being outright all around creepy AF.
I could sense the deep love and care Leon grew to have for Mathilda but it felt more paternal. Like, I imagine Luc Busson was aiming for, "this is a romantic love story" but Jean Reno instead played Leon's reaction to Mathilda's crush as it not translating, he doesn't ever see her in a sexual way (but the film and camera sure do 🤢)

Early 2000s, get into bitcoin early, be a billionaire with the least amount of effort

(I considered being a billionaire from the dotcom boom in the 90s, but that would involve some work)

[(Anonymous)]

Problem with the bitcoin thing is then you have to love through the utter stultifying stupidity of the 00s and 10s

Is there a word for that feeling where it seems like there are parts of life that are beautiful and fantastic and that make existence something other than utterly futile and stupid but that none of them are, or can be, accessible to you personally?

I've been using "verklempt" but that's not really precise.

"Normal"

German is an interesting language when it comes to feelings

[(Anonymous)]

Sehnsucht means an inconsolable yearning for something that makes you happy but can’t be reached at the moment. Longing for a far-off place, missing home or people you love, craving to be somewhere or with someone that is impossible to fulfill right now.

Weltschmerz means the feeling of melancholy and pessimism that comes from being aware of the contrast between the way things are and the way you wish they were.

Re: Random

[(Anonymous)]

idk but I hear that.
