Ok the parody book covers had me rolling, and I was delighted to get snippets from two of them on the website. Sadly (although also probably luckily) I’m not sure they did one for the Book of Mormon parody
Again, probably for the best. But as someone who is LDS, and who has read the Book of Mormon extensively, I figured I’d take a crack at a snippet of what could be in this version of the Book of Bill.
3 Bill
Chapter 5
Followers of Cypher call themselves the Anti-Bill-Cyphies—They are commanded to build a portal— A man like the cedars of Lebanon breaks the portal—Cypher causes a famine on purpose not by accident—Those who intercourse around will find out. About 2084 B.W. (Before Weirdmageddon).
1 And it came to pass that in those days, the followers of Cypher did go forth unto the land, to build a portal.
2 And they called themselves the Anti-Bill-Cyphies, for they were the followers of Cypher.
3 And it came to pass that I, Cypher, spake unto them, saying, Hey idiots! Wanna have the time of your lives? Why don’t you take a crack at portal building? I’ll make you rich and famous, all the babes will love you! Their feet are gonna be tinkling with sooo many bells, you guys are into that right?
4 And they built a portal after the manner in which I showed them, which was sick as hell.
5 And they did pray unto me, saying O Cypher, we know that thou art a god, and we know that thou art the sickest god, and whatsoever that means we know not, but we do believe it.
6 And it came to pass that there was a twerp, who was like unto the cedar trees of Lebanon, who did come. And in the night, he snuck into the portal, and verily he did take a big old stick and bash it to pieces.
7 And on the next day, when I saw what he hath done, I did not throw a big tantrum, don’t believe what hath been written. I remained very calm and collected, and then caused every animal in the vicinity to lose their teeth. And thus the animals couldn’t eat, and a famine came about the land, which was totally what I meant to have happen.
8 Yea, and even the man like unto the cedars of Lebanon starved to death, THAT WILL SHOW HIM. And thus we see that those who fornicate about, will thusly figure out. Amen.

The fact that "trans woman" is in the present world the term for both a culturally specific and a generic transfeminine relation to gender troubles me. It casts the transfemininity of the imperial core as the default, and as the standard by which all other expressions of transfemininity are measured. This is deeply chauvinistic! Why should my womanhood be seen as more legitimate than the womanhood of another transfeminized person, purely because she did not have the privilege of being born in the imperial core?
Gender, while it follows similar patterns around the world, is culturally mediated. Which is to say that my gender, that of a white trans woman living in Canada, is a cultural gender in exactly the same way as the gender of a hijra is a cultural gender. And I can look at these women, and see that they are like me, and I am like them, and that we are the same. And I can see that they call themselves women, too! We are the same!
Yet there are those who would claim that we are not the same, that a hijra is not a trans woman like I am a trans woman, but something else, something different. They will claim that these women do not even consider themselves to be women, but some distinct third category. They do not just deny that hijra are women. They fully deny that hijra call themselves women at all.
This is epistemic violence reserved for trans women of the global south. While my womanhood will still be widely denied, it cannot be denied that I consider myself a woman. The same cannot be said of many of my sisters. I spoke of hijras specifically here, but this applies to any other culturally specific manifestation of transfemininity; all are denied womanhood, and instead characterized as effeminate males or gay men or literally anything but people who very much consider themselves to be women.

Witch animatronics das Michael afton possessed?
A lot of people saying glamrocks freddy and that the most likely choice.
But I think he might possesses glamrocks foxy eather the pairt foxy or the cowboy foxy idk witch one yet. sinch in fnaf 4 he foxy bro. It also make more sense if he was glamrock foxy sinch he dasent appeared in the game.
In my stuff? No one. I'm beyond bored of the old stuff. It's been going on for long enough and in my mind, I've put it to rest. It's a puzzle that's never meant to be solved and I've got no interest in it anymore.
I don't know who's who out of the fnaf 4 bullies. I know there's a Bonnie mask in Princess Quest 4, and while that's interesting as a 'Cassie's dad is the bully wearing the Bonnie mask' it doesn't really... change much...? I don't think...?
If Mike is possessing Foxy, then RIP that guy he's probably in Robo Hell right now lmao. I've mostly heard the theory that Mike is Glam Freddy which makes zero sense to me, and honestly, the whole idea of him even still being around makes no sense to me either. Have you seen the ones about Roxy being possessed by Mike instead?
I think it'd be neat if he were in Chica or someone. Would explain the eating thing as a whole 'I'm human so I need to eat but my body is no longer human so it breaks me every time' kinda tragedy thing.
The only thing I think is actually possessed in SB is Tangle. I think that's an amalgamation of all of the Mimic's victims, with no full body to possess, having to make do with wires and masks. Each face chosen to represent another body, but there's more bodies than faces now. They make do with what they have, forever searching for their killer, but forever afraid they'll find it...
Oh and of course, the Staffbots. My theory is that the after hours party was part of the Staffbot project to get more advanced, more efficient worker drones. There's some clues in the games to lead to that conclusion and I think that's got some really interesting implications to it. It's also horrific. Awful. Hundreds, if not thousands, trapped in metal bodies that don't belong to them, forced to constantly work with their only respite being a momentary restart, the equivalent of a minute long blink... Awful! Very interesting concept! Very fun!
But yeah I don't know what Mike's doing. I tend to forget he exists now lmao I'm sure he'd do a much better job than Freddy if he was in SB though. Not like it's hard lmao
I appreciate your Mike Foxy idea! I like that! Definitely better than the Glam Freddy Mike situation! You think Mike is gonna go through all that shit in life trying to clean up his dad's bloody mess and then just leave Gregory to his own devices when he's in mortal danger constantly? Absolutely not! Glam Foxy makes much more sense! Unfortunate he's probably in Sewerhell now, but that's an interesting place to put him! He might like it there you never know!

the 10th doctor kissed a male zygon on the mouth in the 50th anniversary. the 14th doctor called isaac newton hot in the 60th anniversary. you think david tennant will do something gay as the Doctor for the show's 70th anniversary
ok not to be like no fun allowed but 10 does NOT count for this at ALL bc 1) the zygon in question was disguised as a woman at the time and i cant even find evidence for that particular zygon being male (NOT saying you're lying, i'd just like to see what your evidence is). and 2) he is by appearances easily the straightest doctor in that he kissed 8 different women onscreen (BY FAR the most of any modern who / torchwood / sja / class character!!! and in fact he is the ONE single character who kisses 5+ different people who does not kiss people of both binary genders) and ZERO men and never said or did anything truly explicit unlike every other modern who doctor. and like when i say that please keep in mind that i am talking about a FICTIONAL CHARACTER which is different from a real person. if a character only does lowkey things that can be waved away by the audience yes they might be queer from a queer fan's perspective but how a queerphobic cishet person is going to receive them is very different.
that said i do think david tennant would do that yes

The other day I told my sister that I'm planning on sorting thru my plushie collection with my datemate. She asked if she could help me do it instead.
Except she was a little too enthusiastic about the possibility of helping me get rid of some plushies. So I asked if she really wanted them gone, to which I was met with a very energetic "yes!"
It freaked me out so much, because I realized if I did allow her to help, she'd come into my room and start shoveling plushies into trashbags with little regard for which ones I'd want to keep. Either that or she'd demand I only keep a certain number of them and then force me to get rid of the rest (her and my mom have done it in the past with my childhood collection). So I told her instead to keep out of my room and to leave the sorting to my datemate and I
