that's where I keep the treats

I just read a Mirrormask fic (which I will be reccing whenever I get the time to do a long-due fic recs post) that gave me so many Alice (2009) feels. Is there any meta about the two pieces and how they’re influenced by the ur-text of Alice in Wonderland, obviously, but filtered through a modern sensibility, one more steampunk and the other more psychedelic and how Valentine and Hatter – so similar! – play our their roles in that? Did the makers of Alice talk about Mirrormask as an influence?

(I own Alice on DVD, because that was the only way I could get my hands on it. Mirrormask was borrowed and may have been watched on TV subsequently – there were lots of things I loved about it, but I didn’t feel like I needed to own it.)


Last night, I caught up on: Person of Interest 2.4 Triggerman

( comparatively lacklustre )

and also 2.5 Bury the Lede (one of the titles that need to be explained to me)

( much better )
