you do WHAT with your fellows???

nobody tears through library books quite as fast as a 12 yr old girl with no friends

only ppl on this post who matter r the ppl who r saying "me except im not a girl anymore" & "me except i wasnt a girl yet"

Gets stuck in the past and makes a random village get way smarter and less violent in a generational sense because I keep smacking people over the head with a stick and telling them that it’s the devil’s metal whenever they try to use lead for something in my presence and there develops a very niche regionalized superstition that an angry warlock will jump out of a tree and beat the shit out of you if you touch lead with your bare hands

Gets excommunicated by the Catholic Church for telling people that they can banish the devil from their water if they boil it therefore saving hundreds of people from a cholera outbreak but I don’t care and keep trying to convince the locals to use soap more often

You’re not at all worried about being labeled a witch and burned at the stake?

Witch burnings were very specifically a mid 1500s to mid 1600s phenomenon and I went back further than that so I’m fine as long as I don’t try to convince people that the earth revolves around the sun.

You’ve thought this out thoroughly and I appreciate that

one thing I can always respect about Roman's blog is that they put effort into his shit posts. Enough that they probably count as actual posts rather than shit posts.

I’m a clown that enjoys throwing encyclopedias at people

I love that Grace says he and Rocky "haven't run into anything where our cultures clash" while they're actively navigating two pretty major points of difference. From Grace's perspective, being watched in your sleep is sort of unnerving; for Rocky it's imperative. From Rocky's perspective, eating is taboo and private; for Grace it's a casual, social activity. When Grace says they haven't run into any culture clashes, he's just woken up to Rocky watching him and now he's eating breakfast. It's obviously not true that they have no conflicts in their social norms! It's just that they instinctively accommodate each other with curiosity and empathy, finding ways to bend on the things that matter to each other and explain when something is really important to themselves. Grace has spent his life holding other people at arm's length, and then in Rocky he meets someone who makes him want to do the work, and that work becomes so natural he doesn't even realise he's doing it.

movie grace was so fucking complicated about being watched while he sleeps and i just dont get it. seriously whats his issue. you dont trust the rog? the rog? the rogy? Your Friend The Rog?

the worst part of the deleted scenes is that i understand why they cut every single one and theres this palpable difference where you can tell its moreso just ryan gosling and james ortiz having fun on set than narratively serving grace and rocky. this however has led to my new demand for a 3 hour movie of ryan gosling and james ortiz having fun on set muppet style.
