Thank you everyone for making yesterday's release so very magical!
Faith and spirituality are such personal aspects of life that every time I write about it I wish to do so on a fun and respectful level.
The reviews keep pouring in and I'm humbled by all your kind thoughts on this heartfelt work.

The worst part about reading in a genre where you have low expectations (in this case, Christian historical fiction) is that when a book impresses you, you have no idea if it's actually good or if you're just overly impressed because it was a fraction of a degree better than the usual garbage.
#basically lately anytime i read a christian fiction book that isn't romance-based i find myself surprised by the quality#i do think that some christian publishers are getting better#and trying to tell stories that dig deeper into real faith and messy issues#instead of making only vapid squeaky clean prayer-filled tropefests#but i'm not sure *how much* better#because anything above the low bar feels like great literature#the most recent is 'in a far-off land' by stephanie landsem#and let me tell you setting the prodigal son in 1930s hollywood is a genius concept#i have some issues with the history and the mystery#but the characters!#it has been a long time since i cried this hard over a book#several chapters of solid waterworks#(and i also have the issue of figuring out if it's actually that moving or if i'm just hormonal/sleep-deprived)#i keep thinking about this book but also i worry about recommending because what if it's actually terrible by normal book standards?#(also the author DOES NOT understand the seal of confession and i was SHOCKED to find that she's actually catholic)#but also looking at the reviews makes it clear that if most of christian fiction is vapid garbage it's these reviewers' fault#here you have something that's digging into sin and darkness and justice and mercy and these people are just#'how can it call itself christian fiction if it only mentions god at the end?'#are we reading the same book this WHOLE THING is about god! and humanity and our fallen nature and how this breaks relationships!#your pearl-clutching anytime someone tries to get even a tiny bit realistic is destroying this genre#i'm gonna run out of tags so i'll stop now

“To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.” ― Alan Wilson Watts

So I haven't been here for about 2 or 3 years?? Have no excuse other than life and social media taking a massive backseat in my life as I've been focusing on my acting career and auditioning for drama schools. Tumblr is one of my favourite apps. It's purely aesthetic, and I love sharing here and forever still in love with Robin and Strike. I have many new loves in the forms of shows, books, and music, and my love for being in nature has increased and been on a huge spiritual and faith journey and finding a lot of peace in that. It's good to be back !

"Augustine held that nature itself was a continuing miracle. The miracle that Jesus performed in turning water into wine was no greater than the yearly miracle that turned water from the clouds to wine when rain fell upon vineyards."

Timeless (Vol. 3/2023), #1.
Writers: Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly; Penciler and Inker: Juann Cabal; Colorist: Edgar Delgado; Letterer: Travis Lantham
#Marvel#Marvel comics#Timeless vol. 3#Timeless 2023#Timeless#Moon Knight comics#latest release#Power Man#Luke Cage#Khonshu#and this is not a compliment for that blasted overblown seagull but rather Mr. Cabal’s work because despite my dislike of the character#I /do/ really like this «Celestial Khonshu» design as he gets all fancy and tries to recruit his own Silver Surfer#to completely swerve to a more philosophical note#and one that may make more sense when you see exactly what happens to the trash bird (turn back now if uninterested#in discussions of portrayals of G-d in contemporary media…and yes even I’m wondering why I’m doing this#in the tags of a comic book panel post so in general just don’t mind me hahaha):#I get why some people are rankled when characters use language asserting themselves to be G-d#particularly when the authorial intent is clearly to comment on the nature of a singular all-powerful all-loving Ruler and Judge of creatio#and it’s…not always benevolent but perhaps even mocking (it never feels good when people don’t want to discuss/question/#interact in good faith with something that people have devoted their entire lives to but instead just want to jeer.#To reiterate everyone’s definitely entitled to any qualms they might have about belief systems and religious institutions#and how those entities have traditionally treated groups of peoples for example#but a willingness to discuss those legitimate concerns and how to move beyond them just might be more constructive than#making strawmen to mock entire demographics and what’s important to them)#ANYWAY all this to say there are times however where I’ve seen monotheists not even be bothered by attempts at mockery#because those attempts can be flipped around into comments of «gee yeah we sure are lucky that G-d doesn’t have those#human flaws you gave Him in your strawman representation!»#like….Khonshu the absolutely craven despicable manipulative power-grabber committing a little blasphemy here just makes it all the more#satisfying when a singular man blasts a hole through that bird’s bony chest#if you’re anything less than the humanly unobtainable ideal of absolute perfection and declare yourself above all…you’re going down HARD

The Heir of Redclyffe is teaching me that what Little Women really needed was for the March sisters to have a clever, witty, sharp-tongued, disabled brother who was BFFs with Laurie.
#charles edmonstone my beloved#he's so much fun#and his friendship with guy is one of the best parts of the book#i'm shocked to see a victorian book where the disabled person is neither a monster nor a saint#the disability affects his life and the household but it's far from the only thing about him#he's a great character in his own right#he even has a plot-relevant illness#but the plot relevance isn't 'oh no he's near death let's have drama'#but 'he's having a flareup and can't write letters so someone loses a vital correspondant at an unfortunate moment'#(charles does later lampshade the lost opportunity for a dramatic deathbed reconciliation scene)#but anyway despite my continued comparisons of this book and little women#they are different books#aside from the laurie thing and the general family atmosphere and the moralizing mother figure there's quite a lot different#for one thing the male characters are much more interesting than most of the female ones#the girls are fine but certainly not the main draw of the story#i do like the religious aspect of this one more though#at first it was giving me anxiety cuz they agonize over teeny little sins#but once we moved from childish concerns to more adult ones the faith aspect became much deeper#still clunky and eye-rolling at times but also surprisingly natural in some places#and i'm still holding my breath for whatever made jo cry over this book#66% through the book; it's gotta be coming relatively soon#books#the heir of redclyffe#little women#charlotte mary yonge#louisa may alcott

are you excited for good omens 2?
I was talking to a friend about this just last night! Yes, I'm excited to see where it goes, and I'm excited that Jon Hamm is going to be in it more (he was one of my favourite parts of S1), and I'm especially excited that John Finnemore is on the writing team. He does really great, natural-sounding dialogue, and I think his sense of humour will fit in well with the overall Vibes of the series. I loved S1 for its optimism and charm, and for its lead performances, and for how much care clearly went into it - but a lot of the humour really didn't work for me. It was a sweet, faithful adaptation of my favourite book, it just wasn't quite "there". (Subjective, of course; I know a lot of people loved it unreservedly.) What I've seen of S2 looks really promising, and I'm curious to see how it pans out.
