#the use of hemp

[creekfiend]

when items which claim to be made of linen are like "hand wash gentle only do not use machines" it's soooo. guys linen is like. the durable fiber. I should be able to fucking boil this and hit it with rocks biweekly. you are doing something wrong

[marzipanandminutiae]

no but genuinely I lose a little more patience for people who won't wear wool, leather, silk, or fur every day that I live in a world where plastic is increasingly the only damn kind of clothing you can find (or the only kind of fabric for sewing, even)

obviously, animal cruelty is horrible. I believe that even industries that rely on the deaths of animals should make their lives as good and their ends as humane as possible. and many of these industries need tighter environmental regulations on their production practices- some of the chemicals involved are highly toxic and ill-controlled at times

but at some point, you have to wake up to the fact that the only alternative we've found to date is destroying our planet

it's all plastic. and plastic is horrible for the world- the environment, humans, and especially animals. how cruelty-free is it to cause mass habitat loss? or climate change that disrupts food sources for those animals on a vast scale? how is that better than the deaths of a relatively small proportion of animals comparatively?

(and don't even start with "but pineapple leather! but cactus leather!" when those are still basically plastic due to heavy plastics use in their production processes. there is currently no non-plastic alternative to most animal-based textile products)

I've always tried to keep in mind that we all have to decide where our line is, that we all consume and there's no way of living in this world that doesn't take something from it. that for me, plastic clothing is to be avoided as much as possible, and for others, animal clothing products are to be avoided as much as possible. that the choice is equally valid

but I'm having a hard time seeing it as valid anymore when it just feels like trying to push the unpleasant part away from yourself so you can pretend your choice has no negative impacts. you're not wearing animal skin (or wool that an animal didn't even die to produce), so surely your way of doing things is better! no animals were harmed in the making of your outfit!

except. they were.

they and all the rest of us.

BETWEEN US EPISODE 11

[thebroccolination]

WINTEAM’S NOVEL “HEMP ROPE” NOW HAS AN OFFICIAL TRANSLATION

The novel that inspired Between Us is incredible and covers some crucial things (like therapy!) that the series didn’t include for whatever reason. This is by far my favorite of the Thai BL novels I’ve read.

And it’s available now on MEB!

So... if Dean and Pharm are a red thread and Win and Team are a hemp rope... does that mean Tul and Waan are an ethernet cord?

So now I finally understand why this show is called hemp rope.

Win is afraid of losing Team. He doesn’t believe a red thread is strong enough to keep them together. After all the story of the red thread is a fairy tale (you know since they’re not Pharm and Dean who are reincarnated lovers meant to work through their past life trauma). Team thinks the story is fun, but he doesn’t believe that he and Win are “fated to be together”.

Both Win and Team want something stronger to rely on than the mythical red thread. They both hesitate to reach out to the other because they are afraid of what they will lose if they do so. People change, they fall out of love, and what is left is heartbreak. This episode shows that Win mourns the loss of his happy family. We know that Team lost his close childhood friend. To these two, love and loss seem to go hand in hand, so it’s no wonder they want some assurance that this time it’s going to be different. Hence the hemp rope. It’s thicker and stronger than a thread, and it’s something right in front of them. Rather than rely on superstitions, they’d rather act like dorks playing with a hemp rope, making light of their fears and waiting for the other person to give them confirmation that their love is real.

I saw someone say Between Us is not a plot based show - it’s character based. And yes, 1000%

But more than that, it’s not a plot based show it’s a character driven behind the scenes look at Win and Team from UWMA. These two stories are interconnected (obviously) in a way that makes the plot exist heavily in UWMA and (for WinTeam) the character driven story and growth occur in Between Us.

UWMA is happening in the background, but Win and Team exist outside of that story and Between Us is that existence; that secondary space.

Their love story is (in some ways) messier than Pharm and Dean because fate isn’t involved - Win and Team have no deep previous connection. They hooked up on a swim trip and the next thing they knew Team had a safe place and Win had found the first person who was reluctant to take what he’d give AND willing to give in return.

Between Us is like the best of the fanfic world. It’s taking two beloved characters and giving them life behind the camera, in the spaces we haven’t really seen before. It doesn’t need the corny troupes or the redundant plot points that always exist in dramas (though it has some) because the world these characters live in has already done that.
