There's a crowd that thinks pre-disney SW is worse than post???
Mostly that the Disney SW product of their choice is the only SW that was ever good enough to merit any serious acclaim—most often I see this from fans of Andor, but sometimes one of the other properties as well.
grumpyfaceurn WELL the wig is definitely adding a certain je ne sais quoi (and i only had to google a little bit to check if that was spelled right)
It is a good wig, and I’m rarely able to say that. It’s good. I mean, given what we know Jamie’s hair is capable of, they probably didn’t need to wig him if they’d given him time to grow it out, but. The wigging is good, and it works. Both versions.

I remember posting about this and using the exact same “your fave is problematic” tag. So clearly this is the most problematic thing to ever problem
the TRUE Shocking Scandal behind France's Famous Feuilletonist: reference hoarding!
Hawkeye: 1, 6, 9, 10, 24 (bring on the angst)
you ask, I deliver
1) Something this character is truly proud of.
There’s not a whole lot Hawkeye is actually, truly proud of. His medical skills, sure, but there’s always something more he could have done, someone he couldn’t save, something new to learn. Even the kids he patches up good as new, some of them wind up on his table again or worse. And that’s not his fault, not really, but maybe if he hadn’t done such a good job, they wouldn’t have been sent back to the front.
But he is proud of his ability to make people laugh. Sometimes it’s a defense mechanism, and he knows that, but out of all his many defense mechanisms, at least this one does some good for other people.
6) Something they lost, but would love to have back
His mother. Tommy. Trapper. Henry. His marbles. (It’s unfair, he thinks sometimes, to put Trapper on the same list as people who’ve actually died -- Trapper’s not gone, not the way Tommy and Henry are gone, but the five thousand miles between Korea and Boston might as well be the gulf between life and death -- it’s just as impossible to traverse, and he suspects what he finds on the other side will not be the same thing he left.)
9) What calms them when they are upset.
He thinks it’s gin, which is why he drinks so much, but really, it’s just the notion that someone -- Sidney, BJ, his dad -- is listening, that someone is there and thinks him worth their time. Not in a casual way, like with the various people he sleeps with, but people that know him.
For life’s little upsets, though, there’s a lot to be said for BJ Hunnicutt’s big strong arms, good for hugging.
10) How they deal with pain.
Yeah, he doesn’t. Anything that hurts, anything he’s lost or missed or broken gets tucked away in a box, kept safe from where it can get to him. It doesn’t work, of course -- these things have a way of slipping out when you most need them locked away. And that’s what gin is for. That’s what casual sex and hitting on anything that moves and complaining at top volume about the food is for. And anything that can’t be numbed by liquor or sex or gambling or any of his usual vices, well, that gets shoved down and ignored until it doesn’t hurt anymore, until he’s forgotten what was hurting in the first place.
24) What they wish they could change about themselves
When it comes right down to it, Hawkeye mostly just wishes he were a better doctor. Not that he’s not an excellent doctor and a skilled surgeon, because he definitely is -- this is a fact he knows about himself that is objectively true, not derived from ego or pride -- but because he could be better. Sometimes there’s nothing you can do, that’s one of the hardest lessons he leaned in medical school, but maybe if he were just a bit better, faster, more nimble, maybe there would be fewer cases where nothing can be done.

I see ebay kleinanzeigen has some. Which size are yours?
The big ones XL (the Clip part from one tip to the other is 13 cm)
The ponytail one is M (8 cm)
And I have less nerdy ones in L (10 cm) which I use for half-ups. And all of them have three ‘dents’ to fix the clip in so you have some flexibility
Also here’s a video about sizing

I understand why adaptations added that scene, but I think it makes a lot more sense in the book, with Scrooge spending Christmas with his nephew, where he was INVITED, and then starting to talk about Improving Cratchit’s Station AT THE OFFICE, you know??
That’s definitely more palatable, yes. I feel like I need to read it again, just to see, because it is distinctly possible that most of my main objections are entirely Crafted For Adaptation. (It is also true that my current interpretation is heavily colored by the Politics Of My Time, which are making me very unwilling to cut the selfish rich much slack.) And I do like that the book actually shows you his progression as a person, and how he wasn’t actually born awful but got there so gradually he probably didn’t even realize it. I’d still be awfully suspicious if I was Bob Cratchit, at least for the first several months, though.

Interesting question! Because severe rickets deforms the bones, and I’d assume that fixing the deficiency wouldn’t reverse that… I don’t honestly know enough about rickets to say. Tossing it out to anyone better informed than me who might have thoughts.
Thank you for everything! Since I've been following the blog for a while I wasn't sure that the book would have anything new, but the section on small homes is great and will help me a lot! That being said, I realised I have no idea how to do dusting. Sometimes I run over surfaces with a small vacuum attachment but things can get sucked in, a damp rag doesn't work for all surfaces and doesn't dry dusting just throw all the dust back into the air? How do you do it?
Swiffer duster or a reusable electrostatic duster. Fast, effective, doesn’t throw the dust back in the air.
