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.

#catholic things #books #i'm still ruminating on charlotte yonge #because i usually contrast modern christian fiction with how the classics incorporated christianity #but she's the first classic victorian author i've found that i'd describe as writing christian fiction #which makes for a more direct comparison #she did handle religion in some very good ways #but i tried another of her books after 'heir'#and it reminded me of what i didn't like about the childhood section of 'heir'#but magnified a lot #she wants to show her children overcoming flaws #but she has a very narrow english anglo-catholic view of goodness #and that means her idea of christianity can come across as very judgemental and narrow-minded #things that are not actually sins in and of themselves are treated as moral failings inherent to other cultures #and the kids spend so much time worrying about cutting out sin that you don't get to see enough of their unique personality #i'd be willing to try more from her but i think i'd have to stick to the stories about adult characters

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.

#Renfield is such an interesting character not developed enough because of his author's ableist views influenced by society #But a lot of scenes between him and Jack are weirdly ambivalent and sometimes sympathetic towards the man #Who lost his footing and now is in the bottom of victorian society #dracula #dracula daily #renfield #r.m. renfield #jack seward

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

#in tbob someone mentions Bill’s “powerful masculine top hat & beautiful feminine eye”#which is probably a joke on weird Victorian era views of gender but tbh I read that & was like “YES FINALLY someone gets it”#idk i just really like the nonbinary Ford headcanon & i’m probably projecting a little bit cuz of the gender envy i get from bill #like i’d imagine Ford would be a bit fascinated with bill’s presentation but think of it as something he himself could never do since bill’#a dream demon & he (Ford) is human and of course humans are very bound to their gender; surely nobody really WANTS gender but alas #it’d b a very interesting take on ford’s obsession with bill #gravity falls #stanford pines #ford pines #bill cipher #nonbinary ford

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).

#and look it seems repehensible to say pay victims who lost their family members #but in a lot of cases a secondary or even primary income loss is also one of the things a grieving family will have to deal with #and while i think the biggest priority should be give them free good quality counseling #there's no point in having therapy when your problem is hunger or that you might not be abble to pay rent now #so yeah financial compensation is included #as someone who is the son of conservatives and whose dead works on the brazilian prison industrial complex #the level of dehumanization towards criminals is insane #and it's never rly based on the crimes they did but on how much they 'respect' the guards #also like I was reading the ballad of reading gaol and was #wow this is genuinally one of the few times the protagonist actually did something i find completly moraly reprehensive #and how it was harder to fell sympathetic towards him even with my views #and it yes victorian times sexism whatever but i know a guy that defends man who murdered woman and it does not sound like that at all #also i found fascinating how in the book i read it it was like yeah victorian prisons suck but we are better now #and i was like noope don't know how the uk is going but brazilian prisons are still shit #prison industrial complex #prison abolition

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?”

#mine #victorian goth #emma goldman #anarchopunk #anarchofeminism #I have some strong disagreement with Goldman #in regards to her views on sex work religion and some of the ppl she worked with in her advocacy for birth control #but her insights are timeless and still applicable #goth goth #anarchism #anarchy #anarchist #anarchocommunism #anarcho syndicalism #anarchoqueer #anarcho socialism

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."
