"All right, then, I'll go to hell”
Huckleberry Finn's friend Jim, a runaway slave, has been locked up in a shed and has been sold. Huck is thinking about what to do and remembers what he learned in Sunday School of what happens to folks who assist runaway slaves.
“People that acts as I’d been acting about [Jim] goes to everlasting fire.” 
(After all, the Bible is clear: “Slaves obey your earthly masters with respect and fear”- Ephesians 6:5.) 
Huck decides to write a letter to the lady from whom Jim ran away to let her know where Jim can be found. Huck believes he'd been close to going to Hell for aiding Jim as he fled his enslavement, but now Huckleberry feels washed clean from his sins. Then Huck starts thinking of all the good times he had with Jim, and how he is now the only friend Jim has, and yet he is going to betray Jim. He looks at the letter he had written.
“I took it up, and held it in my hand. I was a trembling, because I'd got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: "All right, then, I'll go to hell"- and tore it up.”
This is the moral climax of the book Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Huck makes a moral choice based on his own valuation of Jim's friendship and human worth, a decision in direct opposition to the things he has been taught.
I feel the LDS Church puts queer people in this same quandary. We aren't equal to the other humans around us. We must live in a way that doesn't fit our orientation or gender identity and then we can go to heaven. But should we dare fall in love with someone and spend our life with them, or choose to love ourselves and express how we experience our gender identity, then no Celestial Kingdom for you. You're forever cast off to one of the lower kingdoms.
How many queer Latter-day Saints receive comforting messages from God that it's fine to move forward, that they are created this way? How many fall in love and then have to make this terrible choice of heaven or the person they love? How many can trade in their dysphoria if they will accept themselves and live authentic to their identity? How is it the thing that feels the most right and brings the most joy is also the thing which our religion strictly forbids?
We're reminded that there's eternal joy if we can struggle to deny ourselves in this life. But then we read in the Book of Mormon that "men are that they might have joy," and yet I'm to go without? I need to be miserable now in the hopes of joy once I'm dead?
"All right, then, I'll go to hell"

was re-reading tom sawyer abroad and CRYING laughing at this for 3 reasons:
1) huck is SO ecstatic that he “outsmarted” tom that he rambles on for a LENGTHY paragraph about, firstly, how proud of himself he is and how good it feels, and then describing how vividly hE REMEMBERS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE IN THAT VERY MOMENT that he BEAT tom sawyer in an argument
2) he isn’t even right. he’s got some good reasoning, i will give him credit for that!! but he’s still SO CONFIDENTLY WRONGGDNG
3) how angry tom gets at knowing he’s right but everyone around him thinking he’s wrong. he’s outnumbered by jim and huck lmao and he can’t just let it be, a silent win. “You never see a person so aggravated and disgusted” HELP?

Children's Book Illustrations that Stayed with Me as a Little Girl (Part 2)
I wanted to give a shoutout to A Treasury of Literature for Children from 1984. It's an anthology of several different fairy tales, fables, poems, and excerpts of books like Huckleberry Finn. I found a copy at a used bookstore and was OBSESSED with it when I was little, particularly for the illustrations:

I was particularly haunted by these illustrations for Kipling's "A Smuggler's Song" for the way they portrayed innocence within a web of criminal activity, and the sense of knowing something you are not supposed to know:

These illustrations are from a children's retelling of Gulliver's voyage to Lilliput:

And from The Twelve Labors of Hercules:

From Sinbad the Sailor:

This illustration of a Cyclops really struck me, specifically because of the long flaps on its ears and chin:
Tumblr media
The Aladdin illustrations are... YIKES, with Aladdin himself looking like the whitest white boy:
Tumblr media
And don't even get me started on the evil magician's design. YIKES. Ugh:

Compare him to the characters we are supposed to root for and an ugly story of racism is told:

From Huckleberry Finn:

LOVED this illustration of Tom and Huck as defiant little devilish imps, and it takes on a whole other resonance when one thinks about the "Alright then, I'll go to hell" monologue that comes later in the book (and isn't in this anthology, of course):
Tumblr media
The Christ-Child in "The Selfish Giant" showing His wounds:

The Snow White illustrations are SOOO GORGEOUS and unique. LOOOOK AT THEM:
