francesca by hozier is easily one of the best love songs out there.

the fact that she is suffering an eternity of torture which includes being stuck in a hurricane but still loves paolo just as much as she loved him when they were alive

the fact that hozier said in an interview: "there's no punishment in spending an eternity arm in arm with the person you'd die for"

the fact that she admits that she would do it all again (go through a terrible death and then litreal hell and torture) just to hold him for a single minute

the fact that the song ends with the lyrics "heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i" and were the song played on repeat the end would flow perfectly with the beginning in order to mimic the hurricane

Hozier really went to the ninth circle of hell and said “how can i sha-live-laugh-love in these conditions”

Imagine if our best source on what Christianity was like in the far future were adaptations of Dante's Inferno and Paradise Lost. And Christiantiy was dead when these adaptations are made. There are two sets of adaptations, one that tries to convince the audience that every divine or demonic being in Christianity was actually just alien nobility. The other adaptation is more accurate but was made mostly for the perpose of trying to unite the United Kingdom and Ireland.

This is what trying to figure out anything about Norse mythology/paganism is like.

So my mom bought me a copy of the Eighth Arrow online, and I'm like, super hyped about that because from the premise and reviews I know I'm gonna love it a lot.

But the book isn't here yet.

How tragic.

So I made this to cope with the wait.

This is totally their setup in Dante's Inferno, trust me, Dante told me.
