full oneshot is up!

summary:

Puck crept into the living room, trying his best not to press on a creaky board. He carefully stepped over piles upon piles of books, passed the buried TV, nearly tripped on a book titled How to Cook a Chupacabra, and finally reached the kitchen. He darted in, opening every cupboard and drawer in sight until he found his prize:

Kraven the Deceiver.

I SAW THIS IN THE PORTLAND ART MUSEUM! ITS HUGE!

it shimmers like no gemstones i've ever seen: green as malachite and emerald but shot through with opal, gold, copper. photographs can't do it justice because of how it shines, as well as the way the actual material elements have their own dimensions. you can lean in and study all the fine lines of the circuits or step back and admire how the rearranged whole forms new patterns. it's one of the most beautiful creations i've ever seen.

WHY HAVE I SEEN NO ONE TALK ABOUT HOW THE GRACE SCULPTURE LOOKS LIKE THE LITTLE DUDE FROM THIS MEME

THAT WAS LITERALLY MY FIRST THOUGHT UPON SEEING IT IN THE MOVIE

Or we could just accept that lying is the right thing to do sometimes actually, instead of making weird, backwards loopholes to convince ourselves we're telling the truth

Bean soup ass moment y’all. Like it or not a LOT of people are raised to think lying to authorities specifically is Bad and Wrong. This tweet is for them, to ease them into the idea of Lying to Authorities. It isn’t for you.

[lilith-hazel-mathematics]

To anyone who needs to hear it: it is morally correct to lie to authority figures, especially if they are violent. Lying to yourself, however, is a form of self harm which you should try to avoid. Love yourself. Lie to authority figures.

One thing I love about Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace is the look of love on his face throughout the movie.

You can see it in so many scenes, but one that especially sticks in my mind is him in that damn sweater vest at the party, looking absolutely besotted as he watches Stratt sing. Watches her open up.

And of course that scene specifically does have to do with the special bond between Stratt and Grace (platonic or romantic or something completely different, take your pick), but I think it also is just a facet of something so crucial to Grace’s character.

Ryland Grace is besotted with earth, and he is besotted with life. He enjoys living and experiencing life so very completely, and you can see it plain as day not just at the party, not just at Tau Ceti, but also in the classroom (engaging his students), in awkward super-classified meetings (cracking jokes), in Home Depot (turning shopping into a game), and so on. He finds ways to enjoy and experience love and happiness in every aspect of his life, especially before he left (was stolen from) earth.

And I think to me that’s what makes what Stratt did to him all the more devastating. Because she does justify it in some way by pointing out that he doesn’t have people, the subtext being that he doesn’t have love in his life to stay for. But he does; he might not have a family or a romantic partner or even a pet, but he lived a life that was so incredibly filled with love, and that just went unappreciated and unrecognized by Stratt.

He had love, and he was taken from it. And nobody bothered to really acknowledge the real sacrifice he was making, was being forced to make, because they just didn’t recognize that love for what it was.

Part of that Love is just Grace- his personality, who he is.

Part of love is just being a good middle school teacher.

Part of that love is why Grace was such a good middle school science teacher.

You HAVE to fall in love with the world a little bit if you are going to be a good teacher, especially a middle school teacher-

Because all those preteens are just discovering “the horrors” and “the sorrow” and “questioning everything” which is why they have all collectively discovered and fallen in love with “the angst.” Even the funny silly over energetic ones think angst is unironically super cool and will have moments they have to sob or scream to let it all out. All those new hormones plus enough brain to understand some of the bigger world will do that to you.

And as their teacher, you have to convince them, with logic and with empathy but most of all by example that not all the good things you were promised as a younger child are bullshit. That wonder is not only cool but a survival strategy. That curiosity can lead to cool things, not just awful things. Because if you can’t sell them on that, they sulk in a corner and give up on anything and everything you might want to teach them until someone else gives them a reason to care. And more importantly, you have to live with the fact that a somewhat cheerful kid came in at the beginning of the year, and a depressed barely there teen left at the end, and part of that is on you.

So if you are a good teacher you find things that are cool to show your kids. You rework your thinking to make everything a little exciting or interesting. And after awhile, you aren’t doing it intentionally any more, your deep love for things is just baked in now.

Sometimes people look at teachers like they are immature, because they talk a little like the kids they teach. It happens in this movie to Grace multiple times. But what people are actually seeing is the wonder teachers either hold onto or retrain themselves in because their students need it.

What I am saying is, I am in love with Dr. Ryland Grace because he loved the whole world and everything in it, and in doing so was a shining example of the enthusiasm I have seen of good teachers in the classroom many times. This guys was such a love letter to teachers and it makes me weepy. 🥹💙 📚
