Best of Both Worlds
In my childhood I enjoyed Hannah Montana because she got to live two different lives. As Miley she could be treated like any high school girl and as Hannah as an adored celebrity. People either encouraged my enjoyment of the show or made negative commentary like, "Everyone would know they are the same person, you would have to be dumb to not." I think about this and wonder... The word isn't dumb, more like influenced by society to believe a certain way. I already knew people with different status are approached and spoken to differently. People will go with what they have been told about someone and how that may affect interacting with them.

I Still Get Pulled Out of Aquaman, and I’m Done Pretending Otherwise
When I rewatched Aquaman, Mera rose out of the water. Red hair. Sea water against her shoulders. Clean movement. A bullet comment floated across the screen: two words. I hit pause. The pause key in the upper-left corner of my keyboard made a plastic click. I went to get a glass of water. I came back. I dragged the progress bar back. I watched the shot again. Still pulled out.
