of course a nanami girlie would also be a zayne girlie 🙂‍↕️ i feel validated

Nanami and Zayne share certain characteristics.

Stoic

Organized

Calm in tough situations

Foodies (Zayne when he chomped that macaroon in the game had me swooning)

Stability

Responsible

Workaholics

They can destroy me with their monster cocks

So yeah imo if you're a Nanami girlie, you're automatically a Zayne girlie. Oh oh, and they're both 27!!!!

Hey when you call a straight player an annoying queer you genuinely sound homophobic. Knock that shit off I don't care how gay you are. Calling other people that shit to insult them is not reclaiming.

totally get your point and in any other context I'd agree however this is a hrpf blog I am running on tumblr in 2024. so unfortunately for us both I have no urge within me to be politically correct when I'm making jokes with my mutual in the replies of a post

When you want to read your top secret evil journal in public to look intellectually superior but then you realize people peeking over your shoulder will see that you wrote all your evil plans in pink glittery ink:

Nugget has sparkles in his eyes as he is given bonus points. Though, Nugget did kind of cheat already knowing the princess beforehand. He wasn't smiling, but it was hard not to see the excitement in his eyes.

"Oh. That's a pretty good score. And i think you deserve a couple bonus points too, for some questions answered correctly, just... not the biggest correct answer."

Yesterday was Gappy's birthday. Happy birthday!!!

I really really wanna see Gappy and Yasuho coming back in part 9, and when I saw the tweet at the last slide, I got a great idea. I am eager to have Josuke meeting his piece of shit cousin, who would love his baby, ofc.

[Long Description]:

First image has three digital illustrations all gathered in one white canvas.

The most noticeble one is a digital painting redraw of a scene from the movie Across The Spiderverse, in which the characters of Peter B Parker and Mary Jane have been replaced by Josuke Higashikata and Yasuho Hirose from Jojo part 8. The image is a shot of them in a dark room only illuminated by the blue lights that come through a non visible window. They are bending down to see the inside of a cradle of which we can see its railing. There's a yellow text that simulates being captions of the dialogue Yasuho is saying, it says: "Josuke, did you bring our baby to another fight?"

The other two drawings are just black and white sketches of Josuke standing with a sun-glasses-wearing baby in a kangaroo carrier, and another one of Jodio Joestar sitting down with the same baby on his lap reading a book. His speech bubble says: "The pig says: "You have the right to remain silent.""

The next image is a Twitter screenshot of user @/radiantaeonstar saying "As much as I want Dragona to end up being the new continuity equivalent to Jolyne, I also really like the alternative scenario of Gappy pulling a Peter B. Parker and showing up in Jojolands with a daughter who has her own stand ability." And a reply by user @/pozonii_ (me) that only says "SHIZUKA!!" in all caps.

Hey you're mostly correct with your addition to the mormon post, I just want to point out that male child abandonment is specific to fundamentalist LDS members. The mainstream church doesn't do that, they just turn a blind eye when the FLDS do.

Thanks for the clarification, anon. Assuming you see that I replied, or that someone with more precise knowledge on the subject sees this, do you think you could send another anon/reblog this expanding on the differences between the FLDS and the LDS? In the Mormon world, what defines a Fundamentalist? Are there changes in LDS doctrine and practice that have been made that have divided the two, or is it more related to differences in interpretations? And are these differences perceived as schismatic or otherwise a source of conflict between FLDS and LDS community members?

None of my questions above are rhetorical or sarcastic. I am sincerely inviting you, or someone as knowledgeable or more, to expand on the subject so interested readers can learn more about the realities of the FLDS and LDS communities outside of what news outlets discuss and commonly confuse and conflate. On my part, pretty much every non-LDS or FLDS member I've met (meaning most people I've met in general) has never heard reliable, clear explanations about where the two denominations separate or why.

jenndoesnotcare replied to this post:

Every time LDS kids come to my neighborhood I am so so nice to them. I hope they remember the blue haired lady who was kind, when people try to convince them the outside world is bad and scary. (Also they are always so young! I want to feed them cookies and give them Diana Wynne Jones books or something)

Thank you! Honestly, this sort of kindness can go a really long way, even if it doesn't seem like it at the time.

LDS children and missionaries (and the majority of the latter are barely of age) are often the people who interact the most with non-Mormons on a daily basis, and thus are kind of the "face" of the Church to non-Mormons a lot of the time. As a result, they're frequently the ones who actually experience the brunt of antagonism towards the Church, which only reinforces the distrust they've already been taught to feel towards the rest of the world.

It's not that the Church doesn't deserve this antagonism, but a lot of people seem to take this enormous pride in showing up Mormon teenagers who have spent most of their lives under intense social pressure, instruction, expectation, and close observation from both their peers and from older authorities in the Church (it largely operates on seniority, so young unmarried people in particular tend to have very little power within its hierarchies). Being "owned" for clout by non-Mormons doesn't prove anything to most of them except that their leaders and parents are right and they can't trust people outside the Church.

The fact that the Church usually does provide a tightly-knit community, a distinct and familiar culture, and a well-developed infrastructure for supporting its members' needs as long as they do [xyz] means that there can be very concrete benefits to staying in the Church, staying closeted, whatever. So if, additionally, a Mormon kid has every reason to think that nobody outside the Church is going to extend compassion or kindness towards them, that the rest of the world really is as hostile and dangerous as they've been told, the stakes for leaving are all the higher, despite the costs of staying.

So people from "outside" who disrupt this narrative of a hostile, threatening world that cannot conceivably understand their experiences or perspectives can be really important. It's important for them to know that there are communities and reliable support systems outside the Church, that leaving the Church does not have to mean being a pariah in every context, that there are concrete resources outside the Church, that compassion and decency in ordinary day-to-day life is not the province of any particular religion or sect and can be found anywhere. This kind of information can be really important evidence for people to have when they are deciding how much they're willing to risk losing.

So yeah, all of this is to say that you're doing a good thing that may well provide a lifeline for very vulnerable people, even if you don't personally see results at the time.

"I'm an animatronic!" Sun chimes happily-- and maybe with too much energy. He leans as he speaks. He leans to the side to the point a normal person would probably tumble in a crouching pose. Sun throws in jazz hands and party horn plays from his speakers for added silliness. Sun quickly goes back into a straight position as he still crouches in front of the tiny reindeer. That smile unwavering, though it seems to shift just a tad. "I just saw you and I thought; 'Oh wow that's neat!' And I wanted to come over and say hi! I like your horns! Or are they antlers? Sorry I have trouble telling the difference." Sun thrusts his hand out to shake, the rays around his head swaying just a bit as he turns his head back and forth. Seems he can't sit still very long without moving something. "Anyway~! What's your name?"

"Aw! Hello little friend!" Sun says as he kneels down to Chopper. He's never seen a reindeer before. It sort of reminded him of a monster with how they stood on two legs like that. Sun could at least recognize them as a reindeer though, or some kind of deer anyway. "My name is Sundrop, but you can call me Sunny, Sun, or Sunshine!"

Staring wide-eyed at the sentient creature which resembled a cartoonish sun, Chopper took a half-step backwards, uncertain what to make of such a thing. "Sunny...? You uh..." He wondered if he should return the introduction or if he would be better off remaining cautious. "Did you need me? I mean, what are you...?" That was a better place to start things off.
