Inferno has the Devil frozen at the heart of hell, struggling in vain to break free, his beating wings producing the freezing wind that keeps him trapped. Not my idea of a ruler, to be honest.
It’s been a while since the Divina Commedia was inflicted on me, but as far as I recall, Lucifer doesn’t really rule hell, he’s called its emperor but he’s just its foremost prisoner. The only people he’s punishing are the three great sinners he’s chewing on, but that’s more of a fluke.
The number of people that think things from Dante’s Inferno and Paradise Lost are from the Bible is shockingly large.
Just goes to show how few actually read anything from the various flavors of Bible. So much effort to bring those words to a form the average person could read, instead of relying on Clergy to interpret for them… and no one does it.
I’m pretty sure Dante Alighieri was not writing fanfiction, but was in fact creating a satirical work, as he wrote this during his years of being Excommunicated. Which is also part of The reason it’s referred to as The Divine Comedy (La Divina Commedia). He was excommunicated for false political crimes.
Also Dante’s Inferno was also a proof of concept for what became the modern Italian language.
( though if you’re saying fan fiction sarcastically I do agree)
Also i was using the term fanfiction very, very loosely. not so much sarcastically, but more in finger quotes. damn limitations of media with only a few types of emphasis.
…write pottersmut where that one boss who was mean to me and keeps getting divorced gets divorced because he’s so bad at sex he literally can’t get laid, and it will inspire a new language, you are full of good ideas can we go to coffee sometime?
Because that lore isn’t from The Bible, it’s from Dante’s Inferno and Milton’s Paradise Lost.

i mean, they’re fanfiction based off contemporary understandings of the bible, so i get it.

I mean didn’t he literally write his political rivals into positions of suffering and misery and make them admit to culpability and guilt?
It’s honestly a little more sad than normal pottersmut, it would be like if you wrote about how your bosses son is a Hufflepuff and can’t get laid.
…write pottersmut where that one boss who was mean to me and keeps getting divorced gets divorced because he’s so bad at sex he literally can’t get laid, and it will inspire a new language, you are full of good ideas can we go to coffee sometime?
