The idea of the person everyone viewed as a pest turning out to be a savior of sorts is one I’m obsessed with. No one (besides Fiona) ever gave Jerry any grace and yet his moral compass refused to let the honeymoon suite go unchecked and he refused to give up on finding Ohm when it would have been in his best interest to do so. In the end he’s shot in the head with a crossbow for it, like the goats that he shared his mushrooms with who were also viewed as pests which only makes it more special that in his novel Ohm writes in the goat/ram skull that ultimately saves his characters when they too choose kindness and compassion.

Damien McCarthy really said FUCK nihilism and FUCK your reductive takes on fairytales; kindness isn’t stupid, cruelty is stupid. The “tough decisions” men “have” to make for the “greater good” are dumb as hell if you stop and think about it. Keep an open mind, look out for each other, and carry a piece of chalk
