im probably the only person who will get a kick out of this but i made a new mormonstuck banner for my silly blog. if there are any other exmormon homestucks out there, this is for YOU.

it's the brass plates engraved with 1 nephi 2:16 in alternian: "and it came to pass that i, nephi, being exceedingly young, nevertheless being large in stature" which i think is just a hilarious phrase.

If you put 17,000,000,000 Mormons in front of computers for infinity one of them would eventually read homestuck

i rewatched once i was a beehive again for the first time since i was a teenager, just to inspire ideas for my mormonstuck au, and yes it was incredibly cheesy and pretty bad overall, but it was also a close enough replication of the girls camp experience to remind me how fucking manipulative mormon culture is.

like i actually started tearing up more than once, not because the movie was particularly moving, but because i was fucking trained to have these emotional reactions. not to sound really dramatic but girls camp is basically just a machine designed to squeeze out as many tears as possible from these teenage girls and convince them that it's because they're "feeling the spirit".

don't even get me started about the letters from home because i will cry even tho it's been 8 YEARS since i left the church! i didn't even realize that girls camp had fucked with my head so much, i thought i was good! but no, i watched one dumb movie and suddenly all the trigger responses popped their gross little heads up to remind me that they're all still in there, just kinda buried under a bunch of leaf piles where i can't see them

anyway that aside, i can't wait to give the homestuck trolls my mormon girl trauma LOL. hmu if you have mormon trauma (esp mormon boy trauma, bc i have less experience there) and wanna help brainstorm the trolls as utah mormons

doc scratch appeared to her and told her about the plates, and she said screw waiting 4 years, im getting that fucking treasure now!!!!!!!!

i think making satirical mormon fanart/fiction might be better than therapy and more exmormons should do it. ...ok i'll admit im mostly saying this because i want to see it, but also tbh few things bring me greater joy than getting flabbergasted reblogs from the pocketful of exmo homestucks who see my mormonstuck posts, or deviously planting niche references in whatever creative project im working on. it's almost like actually feeling the spirit, for real this time ;}

bro strider as abraham sacrificing his only son, but in this version his god is lil cal and he doesn't hesitate

my #1 takeaway from reading act 1 of homestuck is that john & dad are lowkey mormon coded. more on this later

[the-troll-book-of-mormon]

i just got to the part in homestuck where john plays the organ, which was so cute!!! but also, it's fun to think that he's played the organ before (even if you play piano, they still take time to figure out). im gonna add it to my silly little list of reasons to read the egberts as exmormons. maybe dad egbert was the church organist when john was little?

idk it just feels so sweet to get to project my own experiences onto him, it makes him feel that much more real to me.
