Another one of those days of asking myself, "Am I smart enough to know when I do dumb things, or am I just dumb?"

I've been thinking back on Sue Monk Kidd's The Book of Longings lately and finding myself getting more and more annoyed by it. Now I might need to reread it to make sure I'm remembering it correctly. It's not the whole book but rather how it handles certain elements that could have been done WAY better. If I get to it, I might end up writing a full review. I know it has its fans and its haters, so feel free to share your thoughts on it.

“I order you, O sleeper, to awake. I did not create you to be held a prisoner in hell. Rise from the dead, for I am the life of the dead. Rise up, work of my hands, you who were created in my image. Rise, let us leave this place, for you are in me and I am in you; together we form only one person and we cannot be separated.”

Harrowing: A Combined Retelling of Tales from Norse-Pagan and Christian Tradition

Hel, daughter of of the trickster Loki, has been ruling the inglorious dead for millennia after being sent to Niflheim by Odin. She’s the half-living, half-dead queen of humans, giants, dwarves, elves, werewolves, and even a frightening species of horned trolls with a taste for wicked souls. With help from them, the terrible serpent Nidhogg, her witch mother Angrboda, and the murdered god Baldr, she tries to ensure that her subjects continue their afterlife in relative peace. 

That peace is upended by the arrival of a human named Yeshua. Not only does he claim to be a god - one that Hel had a terrifying encounter with long ago - but he tells the humans that he can set them free not just from Hel but death itself. No one can do that, certainly not without Hel’s say-so.

What should be a simple story of enemies, power, and opposing ideologies quickly becomes complicated. The fates of humans and other races hang in the balance, and the most surprising fate awaits Hel herself.

hot take, I don’t think any fic is “badly written” as long as it’s written with love

[angedemystere]

A fic has inherent value from the love poured into it. And it can still be badly written.

Sometimes we gotta remember that Jesus has opened the way of salvation for us, and we're the idiot flies that keep banging into the glass right next to the opening

I haven't seen or read Dune, but I have learned a bit about how Herbert intentionally subverted the Messiah trope in that series to warn readers of real-world Messianic figures and the dangers they pose. What's wild is that I know Christianity can be indicted by this message.

And yet Jesus, the most well known Messianic figure in human history, is ALSO a subversion of the Messiah trope.

The Jews in Jesus' time were looking for a leader who would drive out Rome and reestablish an independent Jewish kingdom. That's why his people rejected him - he didn't fit their idea of it, and his death was taken as proof that he wasn't the one they were looking for.

One could argue Jesus subverted that aspiration for some of the same reasons that Herbert critiques it in Dune.

Our Son.

Mary and Joseph weren't the only ones blessed that day; Jesus was blessed as well, with two wonderful parents.
