I was at Work, rolling cutlery (a mindless task), and thinking about Brackwood and how their families have different religious beliefs ((the blackwoods the old gods, the Bracken the Sept ((according to the wiki)))) and thinking about how weā€™re all about them as Romeo and Juliet,,,,,
But like - havenā€™t any of yā€™all seen this painting???? Itā€™s a Catholic woman with her Huguenot lover, and sheā€™s begging him to wear white cloth to signal himself as a Catholic just as a religious massacre of Huguenotā€™s is about to take place in France. And the Huguenot is gently pulling it away because he might love her, but heā€™s not going to abandon his beliefs, abandon his side in this (incredibly loosely termed) ā€˜battleā€™.
He would rather die than renounce his loyalties, his faith, despite how much he clearly loves her (LIKE LOOK AT HIS FACE!!)
Anyway, imagine you were two teens / young men, caught up on opposite sides of the battle with your own deeply entrenched loyalties and beliefs, and the love between you isnā€™t going to save you.
The mill still burns

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif Ų³ŁŠŁ, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi Ų°ŁŽŁ‡ŁŽŲØŁŁŠŁ‘

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.
#jenndoesnotcare#respuestas#long post#cw religion#cw mormonism#i've been thinking about how my mother was the compassionate service leader in the church when i was a kid#which in our area was the person assigned to manage collective efforts to assist other members in a crisis#this could mean that someone got really sick or broke their leg or something and needs meals prepared for them for awhile#or it could mean that someone lost their job and they're going to need help#it might mean that someone needs to move and they need more people to move boxes or a piano or something#she was the person who made sure there was a social net for every member in our area no matter what happened or what was needed#there's an obvious way this is good but it also makes it scarier to leave and lose access#especially if there's no clear replacement and everyone is hostile#i was lucky in a lot of ways - my mother was unorthodox and my bio dad and his family were catholic so i always had ties beyond the church#my best friend was (and is) a jewish atheist so i had continual evidence that virtue was not predicated on adherence to dogma#and even so it was hard to withdraw from all participation in church life and doubly so because the obvious alternative spaces#-the lgbt+ ones- seemed obsessed with gatekeeping and viciously hostile towards anyone who didn't fit comfortable narratives#so i didn't feel i could rely on the community at large in any structural sense or that i had any serious alternative to the church#apart from fandom really and only carefully curated spaces back then#and like - random fandom friends who might not live in my country but were obviously not mormon and yet kind and helpful#did more to help me withdraw altogether than gold star lesbians ever did

Vintage photo (dating back to the 18th century) of Gioiosa Ionica's Madonna del Rosario surrounded by winged cherubs holding religious symbols.
Later the symbols were replaced by decorative lamps.
The other photos show ancient silk dresses with embroidery done with gold thread.
Gioiosa Ionica, Calabria, Italy
Photos by GIOIOSA IONICA (RC)
