@clonerightsagenda us headcanoning the entire Hephaestus crew + Pryce as at least somewhat Catholic and in the process giving them all a whole new set of additional Problems

"if all these fictional characters were Christian all their problems and dilemmas would be solved" I think rather. They would have a whole new set of problems.

#Convinced that Eiffel’s issues with authority are up to 60% due to having gone to Catholic School #The remaining 40% is a mix of ADHD and being a latchkey kid whose older sister resented having to act as a parent for him #Hera imprinted on St. Augustine the way Murderbot imprinted on Sanctuary Moon and there is no way that was nearly as good for her #Lovelace is a lapsed Puerto Rican Catholic until her mission started falling apart and her crew started dying slowly and horribly #At that point a watchful God an eternal soul and a peaceful Heaven felt like a comfort to fall back on #This came round to BITE HER ON THE ASS and become NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY COMFORTING AT ALL with the whole. You know.#Resurrected alien clone duplicate thing she now has going on #She deals with this by trying real hard to Not Think About It #And I wrote a fic heavily exploring the impact of Minkowski’s mixed Catholic/Jewish upbringing & pressure to assimilate to Normal American #It’s one of my absolute favorites I’ve written #While we’re at it: Maxwell is exvangelical and that’s why she’s Like That. Jacobi is Jewish and he’s just unrelatedly Like That #Pryce meanwhile was a disabled precocious child raised by nuns in an orphanage in the 50s. so. you know #I don’t care enough about Kepler to have a HC for him #Anyway I have no idea what this is responding to but #HC’ing characters as Christian is great as long as 1) they’re Catholic and in space and 2) this contributes to them having a Bad Time #‘Catholics having a bad time in space’ is a TIME HONORED sci-fi genre
