1 beer in and i start telling people to surrender

We have been through so much and are still alive thanks to your help and donations. Without them, we would have died long ago. Thanks to them, we can buy food and medicine for my father, who has cancer. We could die at any moment because of the siege, hunger, anemia, and the closure of the crossing. Until then, please donate now.

Please share and donate if you're able!

Please donate, friends. You are our hope. Please don't ignore us. Donate now. Your donations are what keep us alive. Please donate now. We just need 50 euros to reach 11,000, please donate to us if you can please.

Grace’s own low opinion of himself making him answer Rocky’s question of “what do you call someone who sacrifices themself for others” with dumb vs his own nature as a teacher making him turn around and input brave because above all he’s still a teacher and he’s committed to giving his students the best of himself and his knowledge is so important to me actually

yknow. i really appreciate ryan gosling's commitment to keeping the canon Grace reaction of just fucking crying the entire time. it's in character, and it's like, an extremely realistic reaction to the situation at hand. But. from most actor's ive heard (both irl friends and interviews from professionals) have bemoaned crying scenes in film, because it can be very draining and give you a splitting headache to do multiple takes etc etc. So they could have dialed it back and saved the tears for the more poignant moments. but no. they clearly went fuck it, we're committing. Grace is a Crier. here. have him crying in happiness, sadness, despair, terror, relief, disbelief, overwhelming joy. Have some heaving sobs. have some single tears. oohhh this man is gonna Cry about it.

Tbh germ theory DOES sound crazy. Like if you told a regency-era nobleman that tiny creatures lived on the surface of everything and THAT’S what causes consumption, they’d be like “ah, I see you are a lunatic. Would you reside in my hermitage? Rantings and ravings do so amuse my guests”

But if you told a Medieval person this they would probably go "Ah, so when the miasma settles on surfaces it gains evil life. I understand."

Yeah, actually, it would probably be pretty easy to explain germ theory to a Medieval person as tiny evil spirits that live on everything, but they can be purified by soap and water, or by alcohol, because that is why God has granted us those things. And because they can float in the air, if you cough or sneeze after they have infested you, that can cause them to infest others. And when you are sick, the angels God has deputized to defend the bodies of His beloved children are at war with the evil spirits, and, sadly, sometimes they lose, but the best way to help your angels win their battle is to rest, drink plenty (this would probably be small beer in this time period, not water, because the water was also infested), stay clean, and for the sake of God do not allow anyone to let your blood, for the angels need that blood in their war against the evil spirits. Bloodletting is good for some types of illnesses but not the kinds caused by the tiny evil spirits.
