“He had a dark face, with stern features… his broad and jetty eyebrows; his square forehead, made squarer by the horizontal sweep of his black hair. I recognized his decisive nose, more remarkable for character than beauty; his full nostrils, denoting, I thought, choler; his grim mouth, chin, and jaw—yes, all three were very grim, and no mistake. A good figure in the athletic sense of the term—broad chested.
I am sure most people would have thought him an ugly man; yet there was so much unconscious pride in his port; so much an ease in his demeanor; such a look of complete indifference to his own external appearance; so haughty a reliance on the power of his other qualities, intrinsic or adventitious, to atone for the lack of mere personal attractiveness, that in looking at him, one inevitably shared the indifference; and even in a blind, imperfect sense, put faith in the confidence.”
—Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, 1847

"I've crossed oceans of time to find you" If a love interest said that to me, I'd lose my mind. An incredible adaptation of the horror novel and they added a beautiful and tragic love story into the mix. Gary Oldman as Dracula is one of the best performances he's done, and he's one of the most versatile actors of our time in my opinion.

I think a lot of fear is learned (noticing kids are often pretty chill with potato bugs and ants and etc) and am finding that exposure therapy, knowledge on how to identify the few dangerous species in my region, and mentally reframing things can do a lot for helping to become brave in ways that are kind. I think that genre of bravery may just be the most useful and cool. I’m at a point where I’m fine with a spider living in my home.
