Small gods is one of my favorite books
I like the story, and I like the afterlife it implies. Where everyone gets to be the god of something after they died.
Although that will lead to millions of gods, so maybe it’s best not to think too much about that.
I would like to be the god of temporary, drawn-on tattoos, the ones scribbled on hands and arms during lulls in class or in moments of boredom, whose enjoyment is measured in moments and are forgotten as soon as they’re washed away.
Symbols of first love, of their first broken heart, of betrayal.
That’s a good one
Sounds like Shinto. The Japanese have done quite a lot of thinking about that, and for the most part I quite like what they’ve come up with.
