Obsessed with stories that preface their own tragedies. They stare you dead in the eye and tell you it will end badly. You watch the characters hurdle towards their doom, unable to do anything but watch. They'll give you hope that this time everyone will make it out, that just this once everything will be okay, only to snatch it away at the last moment. and when you're left grieving the end, you have no one to blame but yourself because they *told* you this was going to happen. there was no other way this could have ended

#gnawing on this #this is about uhhhh #moby dick #don't laugh.#but also #hadestown #the sparrow #do you know how hard it is to get obsessed with a random sci fi book from the 90's #who am i going to talk to it about.#emilio is rapidly approaching blorbo territory but that's for another post #gweh

Stigmata — Hasta'akala

"Oh, no. I believed that God was with me... Do you believe that? Was God with me?"

—The Sparrow, 1996

(I'm like going into space jesuit genre relapse so I decided to feed the fans of a novel that came out 28 yrs ago.... I'm making my mark before they make that damn live action show, which I am terrified of, so I can proclaim my vision)

My second proper bind: The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.

#i am so incredibly satisfied with how this turned out #it makes me so happy #also I had a handful of extra pages in the last signature that were gonna be blank #so that's what the 'notes on theodicy' section is about #i added like eight pages worth of fave writing on the topic there at the end #the sparrow #pontifications and creations #adventures in bookbinding

Putting this out there so I can enlighten people in how I imagined the Runao and the Jana'ata to appear as because I think my imagination is objectively correct on the right track....
