a couple of quotes

[redbird]

"Life goes on, even though two-headed and glowing faintly in the dark." (Le Guin, quoted from memory.)

"For after all, are not gods just stories? (Blasphemy on two fronts: "just stories?"” the priest growls. "Just stories?" the storyteller asks?)" —DachOsmin on Archive of Our Own

Comics-Loki might argue that the supposed blasphemy is closer to the truth than either the priest or the storyteller is comfortable with, and that he's fine with that. He just wants to be a better incarnated story.

I have long maintained that Loki just needs a better press-agent.

I like this observation.

When Oldest asked me what a god was, I told her "A god is a story that's alive."

We then got into a conversation about whether or not Captain America - who I was setting up a shrine for at the time - was a god or not.
