untonuggan | fiber geek watching dystopias

ok ok

so i'm really liking the 100 now I've gotten past the beginning, and actually now I've gotten to canon f/f pairings i'm ON BOARD.

however the thing that is bothering me with a lot of these dystopias is FIBER.

i get the whole "let us wear grungy black clothes for a cool look" thing costumers are going for, I really do.

but I feel like if no one has figured out how to manufacture new fibers (which everyone is wearing machine made stuff, so yeah?), then it should be WE MUST CONSERVE THIS AT ALL COSTS, not "rip it up all the time because arrows and pulling them out and blood and stuff."

do they have some secret stash of dead peoples' clothes somewhere from when the bomb went off? that have lasted 100 years? seriously?

has no one remembered how to mend things with a sewing needle and thread?

because otherwise, seriously, stop ripping all the fabric into gritty pieces.

(seriously, there's no *patching* on anyones' clothes in any of the societies, which you think someone would have come up with somewhere.)

(i know it's tv, but. still! some dystopia somewhere should think of the clooooooooooooooooothes)
