Okay, so, for reasons incomprehensible (I know them, I just can't quite wrap my head around this is my Twitter life now) to me one of the more recent showrunners and I are mutual follows on Twitter. And a while back there was a thing, in some cases a rude thing but still a thing, about where did these people get hair dye how are people coloring their hair and clothes what is this.
I may have accidentally at least a three tweet mini-rant on no, actually, since some of these processes are for protein fibers and these are the plants you can use to dye both hair and clothing and technically human hair is a protein fiber anyway but you'd need something to bind it with so here's how you hair with henna which they could totally harvest and process and did I mention one of the most common mordants for fiber dyeing is pee?
And I'm reasonably sure he RT'd it.
You're not the only one who watches post-apoc dsytopias and goes BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FIBER. There's a tumblr post like this too.
