Reminds me of a post I saw about a Book of Mormon musical fan who was clutching their pearls shocked that they started getting ads from the church.

My fellow wanderer on God's great wide earth, you were repeatedly and desperately horny for Mormons on main, what did you think the algorithm was going do with that information?

SO YESTERDAY I found someone on the Tumblr with "morm" in their URL and "Moroni" in their name, and so I assumed "oh sick maybe they're Mormon" because. Y'know. Obviously.

Anyways we had another interest in common and so I very cautiously sent them an ask (from my main blog! Off anon! Which is a VERY big thing for me to do because I am not 'out' as Mormon to nearly anyone who knows my main blog) and I was like "Ooh, Mormon [interest] fan??"

And they said "No, sorry, my special interest is the Book of Mormon musical", which, my mistake. It was just that they had Mormon in their username and also their header and it was the entire theme of their blog. But I could've done a little more research I suppose.

Anyways turns out they BLOCKED ME?? I'm SORRY?? If you have Mormon in your URL someone might assume you are Mormon. Shocking.

Basically you can't get into Mormon hell by accident. You gotta know what you're doing, put in the work.

I think it's a bit nicer than other models that send you to hell if you get a little confused when Jesus says he's God but also not God because God is his dad but also he's his dad and he's also a third guy who's invisible and sometimes a bird.

Sunday Doodle 1/26/25

An idea that’s been knocking around in my head for a long while: Mighty Mormon Power Rangers.

I haven’t worked out much lore for them except that Yellow knows sign language and they work for GORDON who is Gordon B. Hinkley’s giant floating head in a tube. So whatever lore people suggest will probably be cannon.

I have a little sister with Downs Syndrome which isn't an Eldritch state of being, but it does offer a glimpse into how we as a church and a culture approach developmental differences. (Also my sister is kind of an Eldritch being. I can say that about her because she's my sister and I'm allowed to bully her like that.)

By and large my sister went through all the age appropriate classes, going to young women's when she got to be young women's age, but she was baptized a few years after turning 8. There is precedent for delaying or even forgoing ordinances for developmental reasons. It's likely the Eldritch kid will be kept with their age group and (knowing kids in the Church and how they treat my sister) will probably find kindness and support, even if they strike terror into the hearts of mortals.

There is a chance that baptism might be skipped altogether if the kid is allergic to water or too big to fit in any earthly body of water. But generally Eldritch beings love water and take a few centuries to outgrow the ocean, so that shouldn't be a problem. Confirming the Holy Ghost might also be tricky if there's no obvious head to lay hands on, but I could see an old high priest saying "Just pick a polyp and go for it, God knows where to put the blessings"

Nursery might pose a bit of difficulty if the Nursery leader isn't qualified to deal with the child's special needs, but the easy fix is to just call the parents as nursery leaders. But also I could see a nursery leader who raised 8 kids of her own and is VERY up to the task. Just give the writhing mass of tentacles some animal crackers and make sure it shares the toys and everything will be fine.

The problem is that a cosmic horror baby is more likely to be developmentally advanced than developmentally delayed. I can't see a scenario where they are baptized before they are chronologically 8 years old, even if they can recite the entire book of Alma in reformed Egyptian from memory. We don't really do advanced placement ordinances.

I could see the parents being more comfortable with adjusting more secular things, like breastfeeding or schooling. There might be some judgement from some of the nosey people in the ward, but those are the same people who say that we shouldn't have jello at the potluck because it's "processed junk food" so maybe their opinions aren't worth too much.

Honest Question for those who know LDS traditions and Eldritch childcare?

If a Mormon couple ended up raising an eldritch baby?

How would their early milestones be changed?

How would their nursery be different?

Is the mother still expected to breastfeed if the baby has a full set of teeth?

Sunday Doodles 01/13/25

A day late because, while I did doodle this on Sunday, it got cold here recently so I’m in hibernation mode now. Minimum energy.

Anyways, this is a continuation (beginning?) of another project I started here about a steampunk alternate history. Here’s the doodle and accompanying letter:

My Dear Friend Victor,

I received your letter at the hotel in Santa Fe. I am writing a response as I await the arrival of my train. As you must have already supposed my answer is thus, I will not reconsider this journey. Do not suppose that your failure to turn me from this path is any reflection on a lack of warm feeling between us. You are and always have been a dear friend and I consider your company one of my greatest treasures. I also beg you, do not think that you and others have been derelict in informing me of the dangers of this trip. But I do ask that you see this from my perspective.

When I first received that letter from the University of Deseret I confess I thought it a hoax, for why would the Mormons, those hermits of the Rockies, seek to invite me, a second rate entomologist and amateur toy maker to their secluded kingdom? But the request proved genuine and granted me a singular opportunity. To penetrate the very heart of the Mormon califatte![sic] Such an opportunity may never come again! I cannot guess why they are interested in my little flutter toys, but can I really pass this opportunity simply because I cannot devine what goes on in the strange mind of a mormon? How few men have gone to that strange land? I know my mind and it is made up. To Salt Lake I go.

To the concerns you put forth in your latest letter I shall say the following and no more:

The Mormons are mezmerists[sic] who will ensorcel me into converting: First, Mezmerizm [sic] is carnaval hoaxerism and you know it. Second, if their object is my conversion they have taken an illogically obtuse path to it.

I may be robbed by Danite Bandits while on the Deseret roads: One could be robbed by bandits on any road in the Union. I will deter this with the usual measures one would use against the Confederate Bandits we are used to. I will carry little of value, just my sketch journal, writing materials, three of my Flutterbugs with their blueprints, a few gold coins to exchange for local currency, and a small Smith & Wesson.

The Mormons are always seeking new wives to add to their harems: Victor we have been friends since we were both lads, I am flattered you fear for me in this way, but we can both admit that I would make quite a homely wife. Even the most lecherous of Mormon elders will certainly find a gentleman like myself lacking the requisite feminine charms.

I say once again, my mind is made up. I have taken every reasonable precaution. I will go to Salt Lake. Please, do not let my resolve in this spoil our friendship. I know you are only concerned for my safety, thus I shall endeavor to write to you at every opportunity. The Pony Express has recently opened routes in Deseret and I have it on good authority that Mormon Elders have decreed this good and that the mail carriers go unmolested. Whenever possible I will place my letters directly in the rider’s hand, to avoid possible tampering by Mormon hands.

Please give my love to your wife Isabel and your darling children, Victoria, Charles, and Martin. Tell the children that when next they see me I shall rain down on them all the sweets and toys I could smuggle away from the Mormons. Tell Isabel she is beautiful and a saint to put up with your worrying.

Your friend,

Jacob K. Steinsworth

P.S. Train is delayed. Have some sketches. The Grand Clock at the Santa Fe Station and one of my Flutterbugs.

BUDDY IF I HAD A NICKLE!

I've seen a lot of attempts at making a Mormon Tarot deck. What I have yet to see is one making in to completion. A proper tarot deck has a LOT of cards.

But I'll keep the faith. Someday we'll have one.

Someday.

You guys don’t even know. You don’t even know about my Book of Mormon playing cards

I live in Utah and have been an active Mormon my whole life and this is my first time hearing about this.

I assume this is another case of a click bate/rage bate article taking something that happened once, maybe twice, and relying on people's preexisting bias to blow it out of proportion to generate ad revenue.

*sigh* it seems that, once again, Brother Slendermoroni needs help collecting his plates. It's still our duty as Ward members to help each other out. We'll be passing around a sign up sheet. Again.
