love using my knowledge of the bible to write fics. don't so much love having to look up every verse i want to reference in king james version instead of whichever of the three other versions i memorized verses in because if this character is 27 in ~2012 he definitely didn't grow up reading the berean study bible

#one thing about me is i did in fact memorize a very large amount of bible verses growing up #but they span from old niv to new niv to esv to bsb when it comes to which version it was in #and sometimes i had to memorize them in more than one !#unfortunately i just KNOW nathaniel is a kjv girlie through and through #which is fine for the most part but ugh some of these verses just flow so much better in other versions #not that the prose style matters for the actual bible but i'm trying to make MY prose sound nice #and then i have to stick a clunky kjv verse in there when i know esv sounds so much nicer 😔#i AM aware this is such a hyperspecific problem to have and no one actually cares but i'm still going to complain #also you can quote me on hawthorne being a kjv girlie #i am definitely the only one assigning specific bible translations to characters. but i'm RIGHT #hello grace here
