should probably make a proper pinned post. So!
I’m Merlin, friends might call me Els or Cos. That’s okay! Any pronouns are fine, and they/them is a good place to start. I’ve got Autism, ADHD, and an anxiety disorder. Kicked depression in the ass :D
I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you’ve heard of the term Mormon, that comes from one of our religious texts, The Book of Mormon. No, we do not worship Mormon. Yes, we are Christian. No, the Book of Mormon is not our “Bible” or “the Mormon Bible;” it’s another testament of Jesus Christ, and accounts the history of the Nephites and Lamanites—remnants of the House of Israel—in the Americas. We actually read the KJV of the Bible alongside the Book of Mormon. No, we don’t practice polygamy. Please do not refer to us as Mormons. We are Christians. If you must shorten the name of my church, please include the name of Christ somewhere. He’s the most important part.
I’m also queer as hell. I’ve really strong feelings about advocacy, accurate representation, and public awareness of communities and their experiences. I will not block TERFs, Racists, or others of similar variety, but this is for the sole purpose of allowing my blog to be seen. I do not affiliate with them in any capacity, and shitty people will still be kicked out. I will not argue for the sake of arguing.
I dabble in art and music. Most of my posts are reblogs to spread awareness of important issues, but I occasionally will share my own art under #my art. I will tag potentially upsetting interests of mine (most notably psychological and body horror) as best I can, but I may miss things. There might be a few spooky things here and there that slip through the cracks.
That’s all! Thank you for visiting, and safe travels <3
