Reminder that you're actually interesting. Your hobbies are interesting, your interests are interesting, you are important and loveable and people appreciate you. You're just a loveable, interesting person.

A fact that i think gets lost in a lot of Alice in Wonderland adaptations (ESPECIALLY ones where Alice is a teenager or young adult) is that the reason Alice is treated the way she is throughout the story is because she is a child.

In real life, children are almost never granted an explanation for anything. Any question they have is either given a nonanswer, brushed off and ignored, or met with anger. Children are often believed to be too young to understand things, and so people never try to explain anything to them. Children are also expected to follow any command given to them without complaint, and usually any questioning from a child about a task is seen as being insubordinate.

This is exactly how Alice is treated in Wonderland. No one ever explains anything to her even when she expresses confusion. She is expected to follow every order given even without an explanation as to how or why. This treatment isn't inherent to Wonderland; it's just the average experience of a child.

I personally feel like most adaptaions, in trying to make Wonderland seem stranger or creepier than it is in the original story, often miss this theme. But of course, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, as adaptations are their own stories and should be allowed to omit themes present in the original versions in favor of presenting new ideas. I just think it'd be fun to see more Alice in Wonderland adaptations that highlight the absurdity of our society's treatment and expectations of children.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:

It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and

Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.

I feel like if losing platonic relationships (in any way, let alone fucking chatastrophically, hi teenage me) was treated with the same respect as breakups are instead of there being a hierachy it'd have spared me a lot of bottling shit up and not processing emotions when i was younger.
