It's really interesting to explore the place of religion in the Lockwood and Co universe, partly because Stroud sort of paints it as a coping mechanism/blind faith/mental crutch in the books (or extrapolates things like ghost cults, the Combe Carey monks, etc. from it)

#personally i think it should be iron salt silver and holy water but y'know #i think religion DOES have a place in stories about supernatural occurrences and creatures #anyway the point my best move in the fittes fic so far is to make kat godwin an orthodox christian #and to let the ripples of that slowly move through the story #another interest point i've added as supplemental material is that george's family is also christian #haven't determined a denomination and don't know if george believes the same things too (?)#i think it would be interesting if he did (stomping on the faith-science divide!) though #i think that kat being a christian is very much an unexpected plot point in the story because it's not something i expected from her #character either lol but it's possibly my best move BECAUSE it's so unexpected for the others #inevitably religion is discussed briefly in places in the fittes fic because post-ned's death the characters ARE thinking of #death and afterlife and that sort of thing #writing adventures
