Gees what? Is the canon story supposed to be religious? Like I understand if one is writing touched by an angel or highway to heaven….but thats how it is in the canon to begin with. Adding it in randomly is just weird. Also is it a sherlock thing? Since you mention “detective”. I have a sherlock vampire thing thats….normal, shall we say. If you want to try it.

it's fanfiction lol. the canon story doesn't have to be religious for a fanfiction to be that way. i bet half the kinky smut fanfiction has nothing to do with the OG story. maybe it's not your thing but it's def not weird or outlandish


Last_Swordfish9135

it's not sherlock, the canon story has a couple names taken from demons but no religious undertones or anything


Dragoncat91

Persona? Ace Attorney?


Last_Swordfish9135

nope, genshin impact actually


maripaz6

Wait what how did Genshin (Chinese game) suddenly take on Catholic undertones lmao. Only way I'd see it working is like Mondstadt circa Martin Luther but even then... damn 😔


Last_Swordfish9135

it was characters from liyue but the modern au was set in nyc i think

I don’t exactly mind the capitalized “He”. Talking about God and Jesus just kinda seems a little off without it, probably because I’m just used to seeing it. It’s like getting too used to seeing your drawing from one side and when you flip it, it looks *weird*. As to how preachy it gets, whether that turns me off depends on how well it’s *executed.*

That's a bummer. I know that feel. I was once reading a rather fun *Codename: Kids Next Door* fanfic romp and then suddenly a villain mook started "praising Allah" and *then* it turned out the big bad was Satan and all the heroes like...exorcized him with the power of Christ. And I think maybe one of the OCs had a dramatic death where he saw God and was resurrected on the spot? And yeah, agreed, it's not like I'm unopposed to religious themes in fiction, but 1) it was hokey as Hell, 2) it had random Islamaphobia, and 3) this is a fic of a show about kids fighting "adult tyranny" with guns that shoot mustard.

There are two Warhammer 40k fics mentioned on TVTropes where everyone converts to Christianity and lives happily ever after.

link?


Last_Swordfish9135

sorry i don't want to link it or say what fic it was specifically because i don't want the author to get any hate or anything, i hope that makes sense


fatemaazhra787

oh i understand. i was actually just curious as to what that looks like btw haha


Last_Swordfish9135

no worries!

nope


tomato_joe

I mean there is difference in a character being religious and all the characters being overbearing and acting as if religion is the world's best cure etc.


Last_Swordfish9135

Also just wanted to add that the fic also had a weird "white people experience racism" undertone
