fanfic: "Hate the sin, Love the sinner" on AO3 by Beite_037897 (@devorafetos on tumblr)

[devorafetos]

As my readers know, the last chapter of HTSLTS will be published on Wednesday. However, I have to go to the doctor for a check-up for when I almost died of a sepsis caused by an unknown disease in July, (lmao), and then, to the hair salon for prom on friday, which means I'll publish it at about 20:30 Chile Standard Time. So... that's a little bit of a longer wait, and I hope I don't forget and make yall wait for Thursday :D

Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin

There is of course so much wrong with this phrase, and my tag for it is full of various reasons — among them being that people only ever seem to pull it out when it comes to LGBTQA+ persons; it’s othering; it’s not even anywhere in the Bible; and there is evidence it causes real harm — but...

to me the worst thing is that when you say "hate the sin, love the sinner" about an LGBTA+/queer person, what you're saying is "I see the way that the image of God manifests you as sin.”

You’re saying, “I see the Holy Spirit’s gifts to you as sin.” You’re saying, “I see intrinsic elements of who you are, elements that when nurtured can blossom into good fruit for you and for all who come into contact with you, as sin."

To look at what God calls Good and declare it evil is the real “sin” here.

Matthew 12 includes the story of a time that Jesus healed a man whom the people of the day perceived as demon-possessed. Now, some of the people who heard of this compassionate act reasoned that the only way Jesus could have cast out demons is if he’s receiving power from demons (v. 24. And yes, they were Pharisees — but see my #pharisees tag to learn about how to be mindful about the antisemitism in always painting pharisees as the bad guys.)

Jesus’s response to this is to ask why Satan would wage war against himself, and assert that a divided community is a doomed community. “But if,” he says, “I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then already the Kingdom of God has come upon you.” 

...And then he says a really uncomfortable thing: 

"Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven of human beings; but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. So if anyone speaks a word against the Son of Humanity, it will be forgiven them; but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven them, neither in this age nor in the incoming one” (verses 31-32).

I'm typically wary of accusing anyone of committing this so-called "unforgivable sin" — but. When a person insists on seeing queerness as sin, they ARE saying that something that came from the Holy Spirit is evil. To call a good relationship or way of being sinful is blasphemy against the Spirit who guided and blessed that person, that relationship.

Now, I don't think they're "never gonna be forgiven" for that, because they don't know it's what they're doing. (I also don’t believe in hell / eternal punishment, but that’s a whole ’nother story. Also, does having a sin against you that will “not be forgiven” necessarily = eternal punishment anyway?) But it does put them in the wrong in a major way. They must be held accountable, must be prevented from continuing to hurt other human beings with their words and actions.

But Avery, you ask, how do you know queerness comes from the Holy Spirit?

Jesus answers that in this chapter, too! 

“Either consider the tree good and its fruit good, or consider the tree rotten and its fruit rotten. A tree is known by its fruit” (v. 33).

I have a whole tag about good fruit, primarily the good fruit borne when LGBTA+/queer folk are able to live into their gender and sexuality instead of feeling forced to repress of change those aspects of themselves. As Rachel Held Evans once wrote,

“If same-sex relationships are really sinful, then why do they so often produce good fruit—loving families, open homes, self-sacrifice, commitment, faithfulness, joy? And if conservative Christians are really right in their response to same-sex relationships, then why does that response often produce bad fruit—secrets, shame, depression, loneliness, broken families, and fear?”

The fruits of being told by someone you love that they love you, but hate your “sin” — i.e. certain intrinsic aspects of who you are and how you relate to others — are rotten fruits indeed: shame and self-loathing, alienation, broken relationships, communities fragmented into “us” (those who don’t commit this so-called sin) and “them” (those who do).

Meanwhile, the good fruit of queerness speaks to the goodness of its tree, its source. God is the source of our queerness, as God is the source of all that is good, all that is life-giving, all the diversity of humanity that brings vibrance and an endless variety of ways to glorify God.

Oops, y'all! I had forgotten that I wrote a series of Hamilton x Laurens one-shots with my best friend @steph-schuyler (concretely, 14 one-shots, each inspired by one of the 14 songs from Chappell Roan's TRAFOAMP) that I can post to keep you happy while I write my next book+the extra chapters/deleted scenes from HTSLTS! go check it out on ao3 under my profile @/Beite_037897 or hers @/bea_is_scribbling

[devorafetos]

Editing HTSLTS and realizing that alliterations don't work really well as poetic resources to restate the same point if you have a total of 4 brain cells. I apologize for it

[devorafetos]

JESUS CHRIST I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH THIS MAKES ME FEEL

Y'all this is a sign from God or whatever omnipotent being you believe in because I had a bizarre dream that someone drew the sillies from HTSLTS in the prison talking to fucking Nelson Mandela about abolition of slavery and it was the best concept for a crackfick ever. I have the talent but not the time to draw that so I will summon satan for the visual version of that fever dream

ARTISTS!! MAKE FANART OF MY BOOK AND MY LIFE!! IS!! YOURS!!

[tooruluv]

OMG I JUST SAW THAT YOU'RE PLANNING AN UKAI FIC IRNFKRNF i love that man so much brifbr u already know where we're going w/ this, taglist me baby 🤩🤩 (when it's out lmao)

Also!! I'm so happy for u!! U are getting the clout u deserve with the Singeyama fic and the Kenma fic irbfienf here's to more angsty fics that will leave me sobbing and heartbroken and you laughing at my misery 🍻

YAASSSSSS rn it’s the tsukki fic that will be posted after the last htslts update (sad face) and i’ll still be updating the kenma fic SO ukai won’t be comin for a min BUT i do have my ideas prepped and ready

[tooruluv]

hey!! i really love htslts and i can’t wait for the next update!! will we be getting one soon? :’)

one hour ;)

[tooruluv]

hii 🥺 are you going to write a short epilogue for htslts? i kinda wanna see how kags and yn would be like together after that whole wedding scene. even snippets or sumn

i wasn’t planning on it!

if i do it will probably be like a little “interview” or something, where it’s just dialogue and i’ll ask you guys to ask the questions (not that i’m famous like that, but you know what i mean)

[tooruluv]

lol get fucked kageyama 😹😿 this bitch dipping 😸😹🤙 anyway head currently empty, only love for your writing and htslts 🦶👁👄👁🦶

and tooru oikawa

[tooruluv]

Hiii! Just finished reading htslts and I wanted to know how you felt about the ending/why did you write it the way you did? Idk I just like hearing authors thoughts about why they did something a certain way :D

okay so!!

when i write i always write the end first SO that ending has been sitting there since i thought of the idea for the fic. i just had to fill in how to get there

also i feel as though reader and kags’ connection was too intense and unfinished

[tooruluv]

omg it was only saturday yesterday i WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HTSLTS

an early surprise :)
