Fictional Characters Who Came Face to Face with their Double [Random Pop Culture Top…something] – Part Two

A little while ago I wrote about Fictional Twins (see here) and that got me thinking about all those other instances that were kind of like twins, but not really. And that’s led to this post, which is about all the different reasons that I can think of that characters in fiction run into apparent duplicates of themselves, and some of my favorite examples of each!

So the list here isn’t a countdown exactly–it’s in more of an intuitive order or each category, rather than a “worst to best” order of the specific examples. Each entry on the list is a reason why characters have exact doubles out there for them to run into (and there are a lot of reasons, it turns out), accompanied by a notable example for that reason.

To be clear, we’re not just talking about stories where doubles of characters exist, but specifically where characters come face to face with (it would seem)…themselves.

2022 – Things to Look Forward To

Happy New Year!

Life is about faith, hope, love, and all the things that spring from that, like relationships and purpose and peace and joy. However, my blog tends to be more about things that I just think are fun or quirky or interesting. So with that in mind here are some things I’m looking forward to, especially movies & TV shows and the like, in 2022…

And just to be clever like that, here are twenty-two things that we are anticipating seeing in 2022, ranked roughly in ascending order of my interest.

Christmas Loot

Christmas is a season of family, community, thanksgiving, worship, peace and celebration.

And…it’s also a time for presents.

Stuff I’ve Read, Watched, Done #16 – November 23, 2020

I’ve actually done some media-related work since the last time I wrote one of these posts. Wow!

I helped draw this face on this watermelon, for example

Notable Numbers

So, around the same time as I embarked on my Fictional Initials project, I also started this, a post about Notable Numbers.  My goal was to find a Notable Number which had some personal bearing in my life or in my pop culture appreciation, which could also be understood by others.  I decided that my range limit to this would be from 1 to 10,000.

Stuff I’ve Read, Watched, Done #9 – April 21, 2020

Another day, another remote gathering using Zoom or Starleaf.

And in between adjusting for how to do work in our socially distant world, there is also random bouts of entertainment.  Probably the highlight for us in this category over the past week is Pride & Prejudice, the English TV show from 1995.

Stuff I’ve Read, Watched, Done #8 – April 14, 2020

I’m tempted to feel like the cheerful novelty of pseudo-lockdown is beginning to lose its sheen.  To be sure, my family and I are suffering nothing but inconvenience, but inconvenience must still be met with grace to avoid it becoming more difficult then necessary.
