Book!Grace and Movie!Grace are funny in very different ways.
Book!Grace is so snarky. He's endearing, but also prickly. Like, THIS guy would definitely tell someone off in a fit of pique. Sometimes I feel like I can feel him pouting. He reads like controlled chaos to me. And I feel like there's a low grade thrum of exasperation in him all the time. My dude wants to smack his students fuckass parents with a nickel filled sock. Also he often went bar for bar with Stratt (which I think is part of why he became her second). He stood ten toes down when he needed.
Movie!Grace is much more Hot Smart Loser Nerd. He's funny moreso in how he reacts to different situations. He makes me feel protective. He's a softer more anxious version (soft, not weak) who doesn't feel like he's got as many city miles on him as Book!Grace does. THIS guy would absolutely befriend a spider crab in two seconds flat. He feels much more gentle and accessible.
I love both versions and I honestly tend to combine both verses as I please. Anyway this was so scatterbrained, lol.
