Hereos. Idols. They're never who you think they are. Shorter. Nastier. Smellier. And when you finally meet them, there's something that makes you want to choke the shit out of them.

Okay, but me and my husband watched Slumberland and you can’t tell me that this wasn’t Jason Momoa living out his dream to play Beetlejuice. The grime? The fashion? The ADHD? The vague sexuality that just exists on this dirty stinky goblin? THE TUMMY?! He’s absolutely off the rails and I’m literally obsessed.

Slumberland was really enjoyable because it dealt so fascinatingly with loss. Loss of innocence seen both as a child and as an adult. Fear, in all the ways we deal with loss. Cutting ourselves off from the world, diving into darker or deeper aspects of ourselves. It also showed healing in a way that is rooted in love. We never truly lose the ones we lost, because we loved them. How can we use that love to heal ourselves and others. Sometimes healing is reaching out to someone reaching out to us. Nemo’s uncle admits nonstop he’s terrible at feelings and kids, but he tries and tries and tries to connect with this girl, who is so desperate to see her father again, and knows of a magical world adults would never believe. But it is all real.
Dreams aren’t what we want, but what we need. Sometimes safe. Sometimes thrilling.But most of all, loved.

If I had a nickel every time Netflix produced a story about the importance of dreams that, as important as they are, are still less important than actual life, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice in one year.
