Native American protest is an element of film history that has largely been ignored by film historians, even though racist depictions were consistently called out by Indigenous activists since 1911.
I just want to point this one shot from the sneak peek out for a moment.
Not only are we seeing Ruby semi-isolating herself from the team, watching over them from a distance. She’s also in a room alone with a clock. Everybody is divided, wallowing in negative feelings (which we know attract the Grimm) and she isn’t equipped to handle it. Yet she’s the one who has it the most together (other than Maria) and she’s remained the only real leader after Oz pulled back.
Not just that but she’s also carrying around what he himself defined as “his burden to bear”: the Relic of Knowledge.
Inadvertently she’s been placed in the exact same position that Ozpin has been in all these years; a leader, trapped by time, carrying the gift burden of the Gods, watching over humanity as they act self-destructively in the greater scheme of things.
This is literally the most heart warming story I have read on Twitter so far.
I think this is exactly what friends should do, and I feel everyone deserves people like this.
A barn rasing:
a collective action of a community, in which a barn for one of the members is built or rebuilt collectively by members of the community.
because you cannot, you CANNOT, build a barn on your own, and without it, you will not be able to survive.
What a fuckin’ gem of a sentence. “What we did today was a barn rasin”
This made me tear up.
If you ever have a friend like this.. never let them go.
