Yes yes I haven’t technically started the action of the show but the author’s note, casting note, and dedication are already so endearing to me I’m so excited

For the first time in the book, we see hints of purely romantic behaviors between men (rather than the sexual most of the book has been able to highlight) but she’s breezing right by them

WOOF this one is a doozy but a v important read
Fuck Roman culture for real though and everything we inherited from it

Form criticism is so interesting because a key component (at least in Campbell’s view) is the need for early scripture to accommodate oral storytelling. Some sections are relatively bare outlines of story which allow the teller to expand on certain moments as they want. Turns out a lot of what we did at LEGOland has a lot in common with the way traditional stories could be passed down
