Blessssssssss sm-baby's expression sheet for being a great point of reference <3

I had to physically restrain myself from adding eyelids\eyebrows just to see if I can convey the expression I'm aiming for without them and hey it's tough wow, who would've thought

There is something special about the fact that, for all the duration of the film and in the book too, no one ever calls Grace with his given name. It's always his last name, always Grace.

It's significant in relation to his life on earth, because it creates a distance. In some cultures more than others, but learning someone's name and start using it on the regular is always the first step to truly know someone, to get close to them. You can understand so much of two people's relationship by the way they say eachother's name. And Grace has no one that even starts to do that, no one that gets close enough to make that first step. Even for the people he cares about the most, his students, he's just "Professor Grace". No one knows anything about his passions, his hobbys, what he dislikes, or anything about his childhood. For them, to call him by his surname it's comparable to put a wall between them and him, a way to keep considering him disposable.

But it's the opposite in his relationship with Rocky, because Grace is the only name Rocky knows, and given that he can't speak english, it's specified in the book that he uses the literal Eridian word for "grace" to refer to him. Not only Rocky always calls him by name, but uses a word that for both Humans and Eridians means blessing, salvation, love, goodness. His surname is not used to create distance, but to eliminate it. To use it it's a sign of affection and love, but also, while the story goes on, it becomes literal.

Because in the bible, God's grace is given willingly and freely, it's God's act of love for humanity. Grace was forced on the mission regardless of his feelings and desires, there was no love behind it, his life wasn't given, but sacrificed. Instead, he is the "saving grace" of Rocky and Erid, because he chooses to selflessly exchange his life for Rocky's, and by extension, Erid's.

1. It fucking HURTS!!! Wherever the infection is will be red hot to the touch, and also be in extreme pain. My infection was in my left ankle and if I tapped my left foot on the ground, I would be crying in pain

2. They are not able of having in depth conversations. The infection messes with your head, even if it is far away from your brain. For me, I was so incredibly tired all the time. You could talk to me, but I felt like I was living in molasses the whole time. It was very, very hard for me to hold a conversation with anyone

3. The person is sick in EVERY WAY. I was throwing up constantly, I could barely keep food down, and anything I did eat made me feel sick afterwards. I was also so weak that getting myself into my kitchen from my bedroom would wind me. My apartment is less than 700 square feet. It is not a far distance between the 2

there's also this which also seems good but has less original sources and I haven't looked through as much :)

and here’s the link to the website he puts in his videos:

Not only is the conversation format immersive and helpful for learning the grammar, but the students make common mistakes which he corrects, mistakes I wouldn’t have otherwise know I was making.

He also emphasizes learning ASL in the way it’s actually used by the Deaf community and not the rigid structure that some ASL teachers impose in their classrooms

His lesson plans include learning about the Deaf community, which is an important aspect of learning ASL. Knowing how to communicate in ASL without the knowledge of the culture behind it leaves out a lot of nuances and explanations for the way ASL is.

Lastly, his lessons are just a lot of fun to watch. He is patient, entertaining, and funny. This good natured enthusiasm is contagious and learning feels like a privilege and not a chore
