#you know that one meme of the scientists where theyre like#we have to understand we have a specialist viewpoints and the average reader only knows the formula for three or four blah de blah#‘and quarts obviously’ well obviously#thats me being religious and a story enjoyer and having absolutely no gauge for how much the average person knows#sorry for being dramatic im just joking around. but i DO think#its impossible to understand what a fictional thing like andrastianism is going for unless you’re familiar with what it’s borrowing from#like it’s incredibly useful to know this stuff to understand any stories that come from a christian heritage#but this is such a specific example where its deliberately drawing DIRECTLY on biblical text to the point its trying for the same style of#writing. like there is no way mary kirby didnt have the bible and like paradise lost up to check against as she was writing#so its not even like useful to talk about andrastianism without this background
