Power and guilt

I dreamed a long confusing no plot mess where there were two of Phil Coulson, one in the usual black suit and one in the white, and I was working for the black suit and shot the white suit guy. And now I feel really guilty? Like, it's not wearing off just because this was fictional and also a dream? Or even though he was only dead for long enough for someone else to confirm he was dead, then I healed him with magics when no one was looking.

I just feel like my brain needs scrubbing and also to maybe apologise forever.

Also in the dream the next thing that happened is Rumple from Once Upon a Time offered to make me a splice like from Jupiter Ascending. I watch neither of those and blame my tumblr reading list entirely. But also, if the Dark One is offering you an upgrade, probably you are on the wrong side right then.

In that particular dream though I already had power enough to heal bullet wounds, so I think mostly I didn't need upgrading, just to use what I got better.

... and if healing weren't the most useful thing, and I think that would seldom be the case but if, there's a whole section on powers in Vampire the Masquerade that points out that the ability to move flesh, bone, and blood around can be considerable more nasty than a bullet.

Still, fixing people is better.

It's kind of hilarious reading the celeb heights website or any related discussion because no male actor is below 5' 8" until they're like 5' 4", and by my observation 5' 8" is a very flexible inch. Like, all my favourite actors seem to be that exact same height, but if you happened to line them up next to each other I'm pretty sure, based on some of them standing next to me at cons, that some are more 5' 8" than others.

Then there's the shenanigans to ensure that no actor is shorter than an actress on screen, and that the lead is taller than everyone no matter what, and really? Seriously? FFS just let people wander around being the barefoot height they are. I don't think very many of us care. Or possibly we care but in a positive way, because yaay, easier to reach. ... that's my logic anyway, the actors I've met where I'm armpit height are somehow just not as appealing.

Some actors are bonsai people. This is known. Their tendency therefore to walk around in a couple inches of heel and try and hide it is just... quirky.




... all I wanted to know was which of my OTP is taller, if either, and how that would work if one was in heels. Answer, equal height, heels would nudge one higher. So I should go back to making words now.
