What happens when Grace doesn’t sleep for 48 hours.

Based on this panel from Dungeon Meshi:

me: who the fuck wrote this

We wouldn’t have these weak excuses and (noteworthy) lack of reference to Supriya and their work. No acknowledgement of their contribution to the show at all. Which is no insignificant thing considering Hatosy’s interview.

I told you all about seeing things from a Doylist vs. Watsonian pov. They are ACTIVELY playing into the Watsonian explanations for why Mohan isn’t coming back. They are acting as if they have no control over who goes and who stays. This is a tactic.

They are aware of what this choice signals to those of us who can see it. If they weren’t before they definitely are now. What I think they weren’t prepared for is the numbers. They drew in too much of the “wrong” audience with the diversity sell. They weren’t prepared to have to dodge criticism, fuck, they weren’t even aware of the misogynist biases in their own writing for fucks sake. Come on.

They want this to go away as smoothly as possible. Half the fanbase is helping them. Ask yourself who benefits from the narrative being told to you.

its just so nice that the film sits there and says ‘ryland graces job as a teacher is important’, because its very common in these kinda films that the protagonist starts off as a teacher purely to give a bit of exposition before the government person shows up and goes ‘youre the best (insert science here)ist in the world, and we need your help to save the world’ or whatever, and i assumed at first that thats what this film was doing as well

but its not

grace starts the film as a teacher, he goes through the film as a teacher, and he ends the film as a teacher. he is a teacher to his students. he is a teacher to the astronauts. he is a teacher to rocky. and at the end of it all, he is a teacher to his students.
