a) Finished the conclave book!! And I won’t harp on my opinions and the differences (yet) in case people want to read it, but what I WILL say is that the movie did NOT do Sister Shanumi justice. I really liked getting to see more of her character, her struggles and power and sense of purpose. Like she’s a women’s health nurse!!! Why didn’t we know that! Especially with her backstory, it fleshes her out so much more. She puts nothing but good into the world and still spends decades carrying and paying for a sin that wasn’t hers….. much to think about… I do, however, love her introductory shot in the movie. very much reminds me of a saint portrait. gorjus <3

b) so long as I’m around Vincent Benítez will NEVER beat the disney princess allegations. also I think he would help out in the kitchens when he’s in Rome and not doing service work. What he is NOT doing is his papal paperwork. Lawrence is not happy, but filled with affection despite himself.
