30 YEAR PRISON SENTENCE FOR THE CRIME OF OWNING ZINES

Donate to Get Artist Des Revol Help with His Legal Case!, organized by Jonathan Rochkind

Our friend Des Revol has been wrongly arrested and convicted over a b… Jonathan Rochkind needs your support for Get Artist Des Revol Help wi

“The need to deter this type of conduct is high,” That's what U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor said to justify the ludicrous sentencing of Des Revol along with the other eight individuals arrested for their involvement in the Prairieland Detention Center protest. It doesn't matter that Des Revol didn't participate in said protest and wasn't in the area, or that he was arrested two days later at gunpoint. O'Connor and the Texas state court want to make an example of Revol in the hopes it will deter future criminal activity. His crime? Having a box of free zines, pamphlets, and art in his truck. Free speech isn't illegal yet and we won't let Texas pretend that it is! In Des's own words(taken from his first public statement):

"If this is happening to me now, it’s only a matter of time before it happens to you."

In all seriousness with how much Gravity Falls as a series makes jokes at Mormonism or outright overlaps with the faith thanks to it's heavy use of Masonic imagery it feels like giving up a lot of narrative real estate to not make somebody a member of the Later Day Saints (imo). We are talking about a faith that has the dipper constellation and the eye of providence etched into the facade of their holy of holiest temples here! The brand synergy was there even before Alex Hirsch made a visual gag in TBOB that made Bill himself the genesis of the religion.

If LDS members being a minority group in the south is the holdup. Don't worry. Mormons did and do exist in Tennessee. Despite us god fearing Christians killing them in their places of worship and harassing them but they existed. Also here's another LDS fun fact a member of the Quorum of the Twelve used to be the mayor of Palo Alto! He also lead a pretty successful double life, well much more successful than our boy Fiddleford given how squeaky clean they keep his Wikipedia profile.

Interesting. He doesn't strike me as particularly Catholic or Amish, tho i don't know enough about Southern Baptists to make that call. Now that i think about it tho, the bit in Journal 3 where Fiddleford objects to Ford saying "what the devil" does tannins me of the scene in Angels in America where Joe asks Roy Cohn to stop cursing.

I will say, the thing that gives me pause, and the only thing that really makes me consider Catholic, is that Ford explicitly says that Fiddleford crosses himself. Which i was under the impression is only done by Catholics. I could be wrong tho. Do Mormons cross themselves?

[sideblogtointeract]

Making the mark of the cross is more a Catholic exclusive class perk. While Mormons don't like wearing the cross or making the sign they're not outwardly hostile to Catholicsm (see southern Baptist) and lump them equally as being apostates. Regardless plenty of people, religious or not, make that sign as a gag or for sincerity.

Except Southern Baptist (which are not the same as Baptists). They'll beat that antichrist shit outta yah. I speak from experience. Idgaf if they're being more hush about it now I was raised SB I went to churches in that specific denomination across my country for most of my life and they all viewed the Pope as a part of the plan of revelation in some shape or form. The Antichrist, if you will. Sorry Catholics, we're rude as hell about y'all and that isn't very team sports player of us.

Pentecostal sects (which I've seen mentioned) also rank Catholicism very poorly and while I've known some Charismatic sects (Again, like Baptists charismatic Pentecostal =/= Pentecostal) that view them with horrific violence. Like fear for your safety if they think you're Catholic(TBF I knew spinoffs of SB like this too) that's is heavily dependent on the leader. So Imma be nice and say they're overall more chill than S Baptist. Probably don't beat their kids for throwing the cross sign.

Tldr if the hand crossing has to be sincere you're gonna have to write off most of the other religions outside of Catholicism... and Lutherans! 🎉🎉🎉

But, from personal experience, a Mormon would certainly be way more chill about it than a Sothern Baptist so knock us off the ranking and go with your heart on that one. Sorry. I mean....

Listen to what the BillLord tells you and go with that.

Exmo weighing in

Recently, Mormons have started adopting crosses in an attempt to be accepted as Christians, but back in the 80’s the Mormon corridor (Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona) would have vehemently rejected crosses, crossing oneself, etc vehemently. Many did/do see Catholics as the whore of the earth or whatever (it’s been a second since I left that cult can’t remember all the lingo)

However! Mormonism inside the corridor and outside the corridor is super different, and tend to be more chill about that kind of stuff. As a California Mormon I actually did cross myself sometimes, mostly as a joke but once or twice out of genuine fear. If I was seeing demons and shit like fidds I prolly have crossed myself.

I’m thinking Fiddleford was something of a liberal jack-Mormon. Maybe he didn’t serve a mission and will drink coffee, but also just sort of vaguely holds Mormon beliefs.

Culturally Mormon, but not actively practicing.

Interesting to consider whether Tate would have gone head-first into Mormonism as a sort of rejection of his inactive father. The structure of being a missionary probably would have appealed to a stoic young Tate.

So this is only sort of true? The full cross across the chest that is typically used as a gag is pretty exclusive to Catholics, but the lesser sign of the cross (performed on the forehead) is used sincerely by other Christian denominations. Mormons also do not officially use any cross iconography whatsoever and tend to be uncomfortable with it. Mormons have also been historically very hostile to Catholicism. Like literally "the catholic church was founded by satan" type of rhetoric.

[sideblogtointeract]

The faith has chilled tf out on a lot of shit so no.

Official doctrine doesn't teach that and if you asked them most would say it never did cause they have a nifty habit of "forgetting" (erasing) shit. Like the massacring of indigenous groups, hostile takeovers of entire towns, toning temple rituals down to be less violent, and all those ties to masonry etc. etc. and so on.

So a mormon wearing a cross on their kneck in church isn't going to be punished by their bishop. I can't speak for FLDS or other dogmatic spinoff sects. But It's not that uncommon of a sight. Even some S Baptist I knew wore the cross and while that isn't verboten it was frowned upon.

But as I said. If making the cross is a dealbreaker take everyone off the board and leave Lutherans Catholics, and IG other. Because SB, Amish, and Mormon ain't doing that shit as a rule.

Edit to ad: I'm not mormon so I'm only gonna speak out of my ass on the personal abuse I FACED as a kid growing up in S Baptist which is why I hammered in MY PERSONAL history of facing physical punishment for making the sign of the cross. If you wanna hear a mormon talk on the LDS churches struggle with anti catholic bigotry go talk to them. I'm not gonna touch it.

Sorry I just realized that if you leaned into the TBOB joke Mormon Fiddleford has the potential to find out Bill started his faith and that is just. Heavenly Father, if that isn't comedy gold.
