I have a germ of a theory that good Christian fiction has stories that are less about shaving down your personality to meet some specific mold of what a good Christian looks like, and more about "how gloriously different are all the saints."

Not that the Christian life doesn't involve fighting against our own sinful nature and conforming ourselves to Christ-like behavior, but I think it makes for better, more realistic, and more universal stories when you also recognize that people have different gifts and flaws and they're going to be called to use their unique personalities to serve the kingdom of God in their own unique way, instead of assuming everyone has to conform themselves to a very specific (often secular-culturally based) image of good behavior. It makes for a much more vibrant story.

It's Renfield day! (Spoken by Jack!)

When It comes to Renfield, and Seward, one has to pay attention to the language used in these entries because it reveals a lot of Jack's biases for Renfield that he, in theory, should work on since the older man is his patient. Examining again, I found a lot of tiny yet important vocabulary choices that tells us how Seward isn't approaching Renfield with the medical eye he should be using in this situation.

I wish I could get at what is the object of the latter. He seems to have some settled scheme of his own, but what it is I do not yet know. His redeeming quality is a love of animals, though, indeed, he has such curious turns in it that I sometimes imagine he is only abnormally cruel

This is a report for Renfield's progress, and (even if Seward can speculate about the approach he should be taking with him) the vocabulary Jack uses is a little informal, and focused on his thoughts about Renfield's actions instead of Renfield's words along with his actions.

A lot of questions that Jacks asks himself about Renfield. The fact the focus of the entry is not Renfield the patient, but the idea of the older man skewed through the eyes of Seward, how apparently the only line of Renfield's dialogue worth recording was his request for three days.

To my astonishment, he did not break out into a fury, as I expected, but took the matter in simple seriousness. 

Jack is astonished that Renfield can act like a normal human being at a simple request. Of how the patient is a civilized person who responds politely, and asks for a simple time frame to complete a task. It's really interesting how Seward is letting his ableist biases cloak his medical opinions, but at the end, we did read his statement of how he is "particulary" interested in Renfield atfer all.

what if Ford got gender envy from Bill. Is this anything

I think we need more stories about how even if you are genuinally a bad person or did something truly atrocious that does not justify the suffering of the mordern Prison Industrial Complex and how prison more than punishment should be about making sure if not all at least most people can go back to society and never do crimes again.

I mean it. Most stories about how bad prison is either follows a thief that did it out of necessity or an innocent man wrongfully arrested and we should think of those people ofc. But we should also think about how prison is not supposed to be karma is supposed to help society (plus we need more assistencial programs to suport victims of violence as well asap).

I'm obsessed with weird 70s Holmes - every time period interprets the character through its own zeitgeist and the 1970s is so of that era it screams it in anguish

"Aux Ministres Anglais", a poem by Napoleon Junot

Written by Napoleon-Andoche Junot in 1843 in response to the British's government's apprehension towards Queen Victoria establishing an 'entente cordiale' with France.

To The English Ministers

We have sometimes seen politicians, To remain at the helm of public affairs, When their frozen souls were full of fear, To present to the crowd a tranquil face, And, under a mask feigned audacity and courage, To parade with a big heart.

If they did not succeed in deceiving everyone, The wise man, who pierced the deep envelope Who, out of human respect, took their cowardice, Smiled and said: "We must take them into account Of these pretences of honour; for, perhaps, the shame Had they feared!"

And they were content with tacit homage That courage made their value hypocritical. This scoundrel, after all, allowed himself to be excused. But you, men without faith, ministers of England, It's not by forcing your fear to shut up That you want to deceive us.

No! into the dark abyss of cunning and falsehood Where your politics incessantly plunges, You find a new way of dishonour! You dare, like another to display his courage, While nothing in heaven makes us fear a storm, Proclaim that you are afraid!

You have, in order to serve a stupid hatred, You have prevented your young Queen from Had she become, in Paris, the guest of our King! Her confidence in us would become fatal to him, Probably! It cannot in our capital Rest on our faith!!!

And it is you, a nation master in felony, Who dare we thus throw calumny..... Ah! The abyss of time is not deep enough So that we don't know who is responsible for the insult. Europe has not, O perjured cabinet! Forget the Bellerophon!

But that is not what made you uneasy, My lords! you knew very well that among us, the Queen, As well as at Windsor, at the Park, at the City, Did not compromise her royal person, And that the old honor of loyal France Vouched for her safety.

Why then prevent the poor young woman To accomplish the plan she had in her soul? On our old grievances, why come again Throw this new offense brutally? Too much precaution sometimes is imprudence! Don't say anything: the lion is sleeping!

It is because in the shadow of the name of your Sovereign, Imitators of Pitt, heirs of his hatred, You took advantage of this opportunity To throw, without having to fear war, A vile suspicion, a gross insult To our great nation!

What you feared was that, as she passed, Seeing this strong people whom your mouth insults, The Queen in her heart said to herself: "They are lying to us! Those whose proud disdain in our court is degrading France, our ancient and powerful rival, Deceive their Queen."

You said to her, 'mylords': "France is exhausted! Insulting him is now easy for you! It has no ships, no cannons, no soldiers! Glory is a forgotten ghost! Victory Betrays her! Highlights of A Brilliant History In France, we don't remember!"

And you said to your young Queen: "France has become a bloody arena A prey to the fury of a thousand factions! It has kept nothing of its past splendour: this Queen, think no more of it: France is effaced From the list of nations!"

And when you saw that in our capital, Of all our greatness where luxury is displayed, Victoria came, and would see with her eyes, You have feared, my lords (that is your only excuse), That she did not perceive the shameful cunning Of your slanderous speeches.

Because you knew that, in a magazine, The victor of Toulouse would offer to her view, In our Champs-de-Mars, more than a hundred battalions, Intrepid soldiers, burning to enter the plain; Of a solid army in the eyes of a Queen Great samples;

You feared that hearing the people, in the street, Speak with respect and with an emotional voice, Of the frightful death of an idolized Prince, The Queen did not begin to feel any esteem For this people who know of a magnanimous Prince Love the sacred memory!

These are the real reasons for your feigned terror. I tell you here, you had only one fear, Robert Peel, Aberdeen! It is that Your Majesty Of so many falsehoods destroying the phantom, Do not say to you in a dry tone, return to her kingdom "Gentlemen, I know the truth!"

A Room with a View (1985) Director: James Ivory

“A far off the towers of Florence and she wandered as though in a dream through the wavering golden sea of barley touched with crimson stains of poppies. All unobserved he came to her. Isn't it immortal? There came from his lips no wordy protestations such as formal lovers use, no eloquence was his, nor did he suffer from the lack of it. He simply unfolded her in his manly arms… What is it about Italy that makes lady novelists reach such summits of absurdity?”

[clove-pinks]

Dissolving views were a popular form of entertainment by the 1840s, using a type of slide projector to show a transition from one scene to another.

An illustration by Archibald Henning of a popular science presentation using a magic lantern projector for The Natural History of the Idler Upon Town by Albert Smith, 1848.

The popular* mid-19th century writer, promoter, and entertainer Albert Smith also produced shows with dissolving views and moving panoramas, drawing on his experiences for the fictional Clumpley Literary and Scientific Institution in his 1844 novel The Adventures of Mr. Ledbury and His Friend Jack Johnson, which featured "experiments with the gases, and chemical transformations; tricks with the air-pump, and dissolving views; electro-type, and galvanic batteries—in fact, all sorts of entertaining sights."

*on this blog

Google Books has an 1848 novel called Dissolving Views, tentatively attributed to one Anne Gauntlett. It has some delightfully 1840s illustrations of the characters, who have names like "Professor Fingerfact" and "Mr. Delightingood."
