JANE EYRE (2011)
Cary Fukunaga
Me: and Lord I would love to grow to become more like you-
God: you need to learn to show grace to people in their weakness even when you find it annoying.
Me: ...and Lord I would love to do literally anything else
Ok not to be a swiftie on main but if someone put a ring on my wedding finger and proceeded to not propose I would also go clinically fucking insane
Mythbusters is great because Adam Savage will be like “Could Sir Arthur have built a surface to air missile with Middle Ages technology? Probably not. Anyway here’s how to make a bomb.” And Jamie will be like “If all goes well this will not blow up instantly and kill us.” And the three other guys are trying to see if you could kill a person by throwing an egg really fast.
"everything is political" is soul cancer. it actively makes you a worse person in exchange for literally nothing.
tonight we are watching a low budget Jane Eyre. I will report back on how it goes.

I have resumed and am sad to report that they didn’t even include the full quote! The “poor, obscure, plain, and little” speech!
All's fair in love and poetry...

Fraulein, were you this much trouble at the Abbey?
I asked my mum how she has managed to get our family, of 8 children, to church every single week since I have been alive, and this is what she said, very paraphrased.
“You have to go. You don’t decide to go. You take the decision out of it and know that you’re going to go every time. It’s hard but you do it. You fight the zippers and bows and laces and spit on the shoes to get the scuffs and scratches out. You brush messy hair and ignore whining and you throw bread in their hands and tell them that’s what they can eat on the way. If it’s hot you bring water, if it’s wet you bring an umbrella, if it’s windy you bring scarves and if it’s snowing bring heavy coats. You go by car, by train, by bus, on foot, you just have to go.
You need it and they need it. They need to experience the mysteries of God, and so do you. You need to do it together as a family. But if you only go sometimes, if every weekend it’s a question if you will go or not go, then they’re going to see church and religion optional. It’s not. We don’t go to church to see people and have a nice time, we go to church to live.”
I cannot pour water out of a pitcher without pretending to the be Galadriel at her mirror. Doing the slow wine sommelier raise to aerate the mystic particles
“I’ve a strange feeling with regard to you. As if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string to you. And if you were to leave, I’m afraid that cord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I’d take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you’d forget me.”
