back to our regularly scheduled mourning and weeping in this valley of tears

I hate how acknowledging unfairness in the world is seen as "childish". Maybe children are right. I don't think you should be proud of the fact that you've become complacent with the state of your miserable existence and took on this loser "it is what it is" mentality. Things can be better.

i want to be able to imagine butch minkowski SO BAD but once i saw that post about her dressing like an old navy mom it became all i could ever picture. on earth she wears khakis (ankle length, narrow but not skinny) and shirts that are halfway between blouse and button down. tennis shoes for practicality but maybe some flats if she’s feeling extra fancy

THE VALLEY OF FEAR pt 2 - part 1 here - My headcanon is that the complicated Mr Douglas / Mrs Douglas / Cecil Barker triangle was in fact a messy throuple. Also Holmes eats 4 eggs and there is some ~foreshadowing~

I mean if we're really getting into it, most problems with people creating stories to critique Christianity boil down to either a. They do absolutely zero research and think "why do bad things happen" is unanswerable for anyone who believes in a fundamentally good deity, b. They assume that the religious beliefs of two churches in Missouri run by an abusive pastor are the religious beliefs of 3 billion people, or c. They're actually critiquing cultural systems which utilize Christianity to uphold oppression (good! Critique that!) but they conflate that with the religion itself which often leads back to the first two points, meaning they make factually incorrect statements about actual religious teachings and approach faith as inherently evil (wrong! Read the Book!)

I do believe you can write a story critiquing faith or religious systems or religion and do it well but unfortunately 90% of the time this is how people do it. Which is poorly done and useless.

which of the KOTLC or Mysterious Benedict Society characters would be the most likely to be Christian?

Ooh okay. Hm. Should I answer this?

Ykw? Imma be brave and post about this.

Aaaand if there’s anyone scrolling who sees this and is vehemently against the idea of these characters being Christian, please scroll <3

So, religion doesn’t get brought up in KOTLC a lot, and the elves don’t really have Christianity, but I have this headcanon where the Fosters went to church and Sophie went with them. She wasn’t like, the most overly devout person ever, but she went and she didn’t mind. My little headcanon is that after the events of canon end she starts going again, just to have a tradition from her old life that meant more to her than she realized, and she’s more devout this time. Again if you disagree that’s totally fine, that’s just my little headcanon!!

I haven’t thought a lot about tmbs characters and Christianity aside from what a friend has told me about extensively over DM and I actually adopted a lot of those headcanons because I loved them (and I’m not going to steal them here), but the first time I read the series as a kid Kate just struck me as someone who volunteered as VBS, and since she reminded me of myself in a lot of ways, little Katie saw Kate as a Christian. Once again, disagreement is fine!

I wasn’t sure whether to post this or not bc I know religion can be a touchy subject for a lot of people, but for me personally Christianity has always been something really helpful and beautiful for me and so my brain does apply it to my hyperfixations sometimes. So, if there are people out there who want to know, these are my little headcanons regarding kotlc and tmbs characters and Christianity.

Thanks for dropping by, anon!

Obsessed with the fact that Jacobi explicitly states that he does not think what he does is good and that he does not view himself as a useful member of society, except in that his skill set clears the way for people with “better” skills to do their work. In his mind he functionally only exists so that Alana can do great things. He calls them both monsters but ultimately sees her work as contributing to the betterment of the world and his to the detriment. He dedicated his life to supporting her.

Yet he survived and she didn’t.
