as a person who drops things, breaks important things on accident, and just frankly struggles with certain adroit motor skills, i've often felt torn between two cultural precedents. on the one hand, bella swan: sexual compatibility, and desirability, conveyed through one's physical clumsiness. edible art! what Edward would not want a Bella? and on the other end, the unloved and despised clumsiness of a clown. think of Beatrice saying "for he both pleases men and angers them, and they laugh at him and beat him." or — well, for precedent: "you were banished because you were clumsy?"
if you wear a sign that says "psychopomp in training" and occasionally murmur things like "Autumn comes to treasure, to structure too, in their turn" there's a good chance you can beat the clown allegations although you may end up going on more quests.
