I love this.

I love that Badeni looked at Jolenta beyond her gender and saw that she is, above all, a knowledge-hungry scholar.

Yes I'm giving Oczy the classic Cossack haircut

I'll keep posting Cossack/Ukrainian/Ruthenian Oczy content till everyone is on board with this idea

I swear, this show is going to inspire me to go stargazing for real. Well, if only there was a good spot near where I live I might.

I don't know if this was intentional symbolism, but when Oczy talks about wanting to write a journal, he smiles and covers his mouth (out of a mix of excitement and embarrassment, I presume):

Which is very similar to Jolenta's mannerisms when she explained the power and beauty of writing to him:

I feel like this subtly implies that it was her speech that inspired Oczy to think so positively about writing, and why he's so excited to document his life experiences. Worth noting is that Jolenta didn't just praise the power of academic writing, but of all writing, including works with more focus on narrative than technical detail. This might've been what made Oczy realize that he doesn't need a formal education to write something interesting.

Then again, it's very possible that covering your mouth is just a common way to show that a character is flustered, and this has no greater symbolic significance. I'm kind of grasping at straws, because I really like this show, yet have no idea what to say about it.

I love the found family trope

Drawing eyes without highlighting eyeballs somehow gives her some ghastly vibes and Im loving it
