I must say I never imagined hearing an apostle say ‘doom scrolling’ from the pulpit in General Conference

“Quentin, I like what you’re saying, but sometimes we need to choose violence. CUT OFF THE EAR!” --AN ACTUAL QUOTE FROM MY FATHER AFTER COOK’S TALK

[kat-formerly-submissive-mrs-c]

All that is unfair in life can be made right through the atonement of Jesus Christ.

[askmeamormonanything]

who's your LEAST favorite apostle? #controversial

Wait no no no I don’t want to choose… I love all the bretheren… 😢 Ok ok, if I HAD to choose… Quentin L. Cook. (If we’re being honest, I fell asleep for a couple minutes during his talk last conference. I was super super tired from the night before. It was a sunday and like an idiot I forgot to stock up on diet coke and dr. pepper the day before.)

Laboring with the Lord: Transforming Lives through Missionary Work

We are called to be anxiously engaged in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, taking every opportunity to do so in word and deed. Doctrine and Covenants 123:12 reminds us that we may never know who among us is searching for the Gospel's light.

Embrace Missionary Work Today! We have found that sharing the gospel in simple, normal, and natural ways through the principles of “love, share, invite” greatly blesses the kingdom. Jesus Christ shared the gospel this way when He lived on earth. He shared His life and His love and invited all to come unto Him (see Matthew 11:28). To love, share, and invite as He did is a special blessing and…

Harry Potter and Batman Crossover Headcannon

Imagine a Harry Potter raised by Bruce Wayne, who idolizes his brothers, sisters, and family friends.

First year, Ron and Hermione think he's a pretty normal bloke.

Except for the ability to get detentions at least four times a week.

Flipping from staircase to staircase is not an acceptable hobby, Mr. Potter.

In the beginning, Harry and Hermione clashed A LOT. They were both scarily intelligent but Harry didn't even try, which irritated Hermione to no end.

Harry's desk is littered with card games and boxes of puzzles. Not that it isn't neat- he's a neat freak- there's just a lot of them.

Harry sucks at art but has dozens of paintings spread across his part of the dorm.

Harry is obsessed with History- magic and muggle- doesn't matter.

He's one of the few students that actually pass Binns' class.

That summer, Harry flies Ron and Hermione to America and they meet his family.

Hermione immediately understands why Harry acts like he's fucking insane. His entire family is. From Alfred the butler to Bruce the father to every single one of the revolving siblings.

They binge-watch Quentin Tarantino movies that summer, Duke popping in more often than not.

Harry kept disappearing at night and coming back with bruises.

Once he came back with a broken arm (he got benched afterwards) and tried to tell Hermione it wasn't broken. She almost believed him.

That was the oddest summer of Ron and Hermione's life.

During their second year, they think he's legitimately insane.

Not for the talking-to-snakes thing.

No, he wants to adopt the crazy murder snake and have it live at home with the dogs, cow, and cat.

Harry is delighted to meet Collin Creevey.

He gushes about their cameras.

Hermione thinks it's as cute as it was creepy. Some of the pictures Harry had, she hadn't even known he'd taken. Hell, she barely ever saw the camera.

During the summer, Harry once again flies his friends to America before flying them half-way across the country to visit the circus.

He disappears.

Then shows up as a performer with his brother.

Hermione's in shock that her best friend occasionally moon-lights as a circus performer.

Dick isn't as shocked, saying that all of them have at some point.

Hermione doesn't see silent Cassandra or giant Jason ever swinging across but if Dick says so, it must be true.

Third year, Harry is angry. He brings a knife set to school and when Sirius sneaks into the room, he gets them thrown at him.

Sirius spent far too long stitching up the wound.

Sirius nearly got shot after dragging Ron to the Shrieking Shack.

Harry got lectured for bringing guns onto school grounds. He can't regret it because it was thanks to shooting Pettigrew in the leg, Sirius was free.

Jason got lectured for allowing Harry to bring a gun.

Hermione and Ron learned that Harry was a great cook that summer. Alfred and Bruce left the manor for about a week and Harry cooked most of the meals.

Ron learned how particular Harry was about the kitchen being cleaned.

He also got a crash course in manners from several of the Wayne's.

Fourth year starts normally. Then the tournament was announced and Harry was a contestant.

Hermione knows Harry's been studying like crazy but doesn't realize how much until she walks down to the common room at two am on a Thursday and finds Harry pouring over a book with a cup of coffee in his hand.

He hadn't slept in ninety-six hours and was on his twenty-seventh cup of coffee that day.

Harry doesn't show up to dance practice. Ever.

Parvati's honestly a bit scared to dance with Harry after watching Neville, who has shown up to every practice.

But Harry's a wonderful dancer, better than anyone else. Parvati has a wonderful night, trading on and off with her sister who was not having a wonderful night.

Harry plays the piano for them that summer.

Hermione asks if there's anything he can't do. Harry shrugs.

Fifth year, Hermione learns what Harry's real anger looks like. It's not explosive like she thought it would be.

It's quiet. It makes your skin crawl when brilliant emerald eyes land on you.

When he speaks, it's cold. Clinical. Terrifying.

Hermione hates angering Harry.

Ron's already learned this lesson. Back during fourth year.

During that fight on the Quidditch Pitch, Harry doesn't attack Malfoy. He goes silent and stares at the other teenager for a moment before he cuts into him. Malfoy breaks down crying after fifteen seconds of Harry's verbal assault.

One day, Harry's just had a bad day and just sits next to his friends. Except, he's completely silent and doesn't say a word.

The Slytherins hear Ron's scream in their common room from the Gryffindor tower.

Hermione visits Harry's library for the first time that summer. She's shocked to see all the Jane Austen novels. She knew he was smart but wasn't aware of what he liked to read.

During their sixth year, they discover that Harry's one hell of a liar.

And a good actor, which kind of go hand-in-hand.

They found that Harry developed a smoking habit.

Hermione and Ron did their best to curb it.

That summer, they found out the Wayne family secret.

They were kidnapped and saved by Robin, who looked suspiciously like their best friend.

During their seventh year, while they're on the run, Harry ends up hacking into the security footage of them doing something illegal and deleting it.

Hermione shouldn't be surprised but she is.

Ron's questioning when it will end.

That crime was theft. Particularly, tire theft. Hermione was not amused.

After Ron left, Hermione was unbelievably upset.

Harry had three sisters but each of them were different.

He sighed and demanded for Hermione to sit before sliding behind her and braiding her hair.

Harry often played music while Ron was gone to hide the silence.

Often, it was the Clash.

After being held at Malfoy Manor, Harry stitches them up himself. Bill and Fleur tried to help but backed down when they saw how wild Harry looked.

After Harry died, he ran away and hunkered down in a safe-house.

Jason found him.

"Your friends are worried," Jason said softly, leaning against the door frame.

"I can't be him, anymore."

"Who?"

"Harry Potter. He died."

"Then don't be. Craft yourself a new identity. Harry Wayne, Harry Grayson, Harry Todd, Harry Drake, Harry Brown, Harry Gordon. I'm sure any of the family would let you use their name."

"I can't be Robin, either. I can't be who I used to. And it's like everyone expects me to."

"You don't have to live up to their expectations, Harry. You'll be happier if you just say fuck 'em."

"Bruce won't have a Robin anymore."

"Give him a few years, he'll adopt a new one."

Harry retired as Robin and adopted a new alias as Azrael.

Quentin L. Cook

It is interesting to me that we as a church have a history of forced immigration and suffering which we regularly refer to and preach about, and yet our church has made statements that we "follow the law" when it comes to bigoted anti-immigrant laws being pushed by our government. I hope that talks like these are a quiet protest against those laws, but I'm not sure. I'm reminded a bit of Zionists, who will refer to the historical oppression Jews have faced, only to go on to oppress and hurt the marginalized. Histories of oppression do not inherently make us better. They are only valuable insomuch as they turn us to treat others better than we have been treated. May we fight oppression wherever we find it, and take in the stranger, even if it puts us at odds with the law.

Sunday Afternoon Session

Conducting: Quentin L Cook

Come Rejoice

D Todd Christofferson

A limiting trait is not being valiant in your testimony

Wholehearted devotion is what we should strive for

To make it to and stay in the Celestial Kingdom we must have a firm testimony of Jesus Christ and act on that testimony

Being Valiant in your testimony of Christ

Includes nurturing and strengthening that testimony

Heading His messengers

Encouraging others by word and example

We will not let anything keep us from being together forever

Do the things Jesus shall teach and command you

Taylor G Godoy

God hears our prayers and answers them in a personalized way

Mosiah 5:12

This life by its nature brings about experiences

Call Him, don’t fall

Just because you aren’t answered immediately doesn’t mean your call wasn’t answered at all

Confidence in the Lord’s answers requires accepting that they are not always what would expect in our minds for them to be.

The Lord is the first option for help

Call Don’t Fall (pray)

After prayer do all you can to obtain the answers you pray for

Humbly accept His answers

Softly and Tenderly, Jesus is Calling

Gary E Stevenson

Where is the foundation of your bridge?

The two towers are love the Lord thy God and love your neighbor as thyself – these are the towers that the bridge of the gospel is supported by

Loving the Lord leads to eternal Happiness

Bridges our heavenly upward gaze to our heavenly outward gaze

Love of the Lord is not complete if we do not love our neighbors

Loving your neighbors includes Christlike deeps of love and service

How are you building your tower of love?

“did God call on you specifically, or were you simply the one who listened?”

These towers need to function together in balance, equal devotion, and harmony

God loves everyone and so should we; we seek out those in need and serve them regardless of race, wealth, gender identity, sexual orientation, or anything else

God commanded us to love one another. Leave judgement up to Him

How do we build our own bridge of faith and devotion?

Early drafts become polished blueprints

Mathias Held

Consequences are a part of agency

Repentance is where growth happens

Seek to learn and accept support from the Lord

In the darkness of night we can turn on our lights

We can still choose how to respond to things out of our control

We are agents not objects.

Opposites don’t exist apart from each other, they can complement each other.

Where there is sunshine, shadows must be there too. Floods brings destruction but they bring life as well

Our difficulties do not define us – it is our attitudes and choices that define us much better than our situations

How Firm a Foundation

Niel L Anderson

It is breathtaking to see the works of God

Discipline your faith, what does that mean to you?

Eleazer Cearcy – sealing story – this is why listen to promptings

Angels have charge over us

Through the power of the Holy Ghost we are filled with strength and peace and joy and unspeakable hope.

Many different ways to see the face of Christ and no better place than in His holy house

Mark L Pace

Transform our homes into sanctuaries of faith

The scriptures are here to help us draw closer to Him

How can you avoid personal apostasy?

We are responsible for our own personal spiritual growth

The most important copy of the book of Mormon is the one you read

Heavenly Father wants you to know yourself – but you must put in the effort

Russell M Nelson

Called to apostles 40 years ago!

Six temples when he was born

Ponder what the Lord’s promise means for you personally

The priesthood was restored prior to the church – to ensure that the church could be organized with the correct authority

The priesthood keys are the only way we get the essential ordinances and covenants, the only way we can have blessings the way we do – we can extend all the blessings promised to/by Abraham to all God’s children

D&C 110

The gathering of Israel is evidence God loves all of His children everywhere

The gospel of Abraham is further evidence that God loves all of His children everywhere

The sealing power is supreme evidence that God loves all of His children everywhere and wants them to return to Him

Study Kirtland temple dedicatory prayer in D&C 109

Regular temple worship will enhance how you see yourself

The temple empowers us to take on the challenges of life

You do not have to face life alone

What courage does it give you to know that angels really will help you?

No combination of wickedness will prevail over those who worship in the house of the Lord

Nothing will help you more to hold fast to the iron rod than attending the temple as regularly as you can, nothing will protect you more, nothing will bolster your testimony of Christ and His atonement, or recognize the significance of His plan, nothing will soothe your spirit more, nothing will open the blessings of Heavens more

Chihuahua, Mexico

Careers Take Off At Any Age

This came up in a group chat. One person asked if it were possible for a career to take off later in age. I said yes, yes it could.

In Hollywood, age doesn't matter as much as talent. I got curious and decided to go off googling!

Stan Lee, 39

Even though Stan Lee started working with comic books since he was just 17 years old, it took him over twenty years to achieve success. He began working for a company called Timely Publications as an assistant and slowly rose up the ranks until he published his first comic book in 1961 – Lee was 39 at the time.

Alan Rickman, 42

Alan Rickman, the famous actor who played Professor Snape in the Harry Potter series, used to be a graphic designer and even had his own studio. But at the age of 26, he started attending the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art with hopes of becoming an actor. However, he only achieved his first major role in 1988, when he got the role of Hans Gruber in the movie Die Hard – Rickman was 42 at the time. After the movie, Rickman’s acting career quickly took off and he landed the role of Severus Snape in 2001, at the age of 55.

Kathy Bates, 42

Kathy Bates worked steadily both on stage and on screen early in her life, but it was only when she was cast in the thriller “Misery” at age 42 did she gained prominence as one of the most impressive actors in her generation. Winning the Academy Award for Best Actress, Bates’ career took off, landing her the role of Molly Brown in “Titanic,” Libby Holden in “Primary Colors,” and Miss Hannigan in Disney’s remake of “Annie,” as well as remarkable turns on television series “Six Feet Under,” “Two and a Half Men,” and “Harry’s Law.” Bates was also cast as one of the co-stars of the third season of “American Horror Story.”

Martha Stewart, 41

Before the beginning of her career as an entrepreneur and media personality, Martha Stewart was working as a stockbroker in Wall Street. However, she quit to start a catering business and eventually published her first cookbook in 1982 at the age of 41.

Morgan Freeman, 50

Even though Morgan Freeman loved acting since he was young, instead of becoming an actor, he joined the Air Force after finishing school. However, the actor never gave up on his dream and got his first major role in the movie "Street Smart" at age 50.

Jane Lynch, 49

After many small roles in various different films, Jane Lynch got her first major role in the TV series "Glee" when she was 49.

Samuel L. Jackson, 46

Samuel L. Jackson was interested in drama since his early 20’s but only achieved worldwide success at age 46, for his role of Jules Winnfield in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 hit "Pulp Fiction".

Christoph Waltz, 53

This Austrian-German actor only achieved international success at the age of 53 for his role of Col. Hans Landa in the 2009 movie "Inglorious Basterds".

Viola Davis, 43

Even though Viola Davis had many small roles in different movies before, her first big break only happened in 2008, when she got a role in the movie "Doubt" at the age of 43.

Julia Childs, 50

Julia Child, known by many for her TV show and cookbooks, wasn’t initially even that good at cooking. She attended the Cordon Bleu cooking school in 1948 and wrote her first book in 1961 at the age of 50.

Kathryn Joosten, 60

Kathryn Joosten joined her community theater when she was 42. Before that, she used to work as a psychiatric nurse. The actress eventually landed the role in “The West Wing” at the age of 60.

Ray Kroc, 52

Raymond Albert Kroc was an American businessman. He purchased the fast food company McDonald's in 1961 from the McDonald brothers and was its CEO from 1967 to 1973. Kroc is credited with the global expansion of McDonald's, turning it into the most successful fast food corporation in the world by revenue.

Billy Bob Thornton, 41

Even though Billy Bob Thornton struggled with his acting career in the 1980s, it all changed when the actor wrote, directed and starred in the movie "Sling Blade" in 1996 – he was 41 at the time.

Steve Carell, 43

Believe it or not, The Office was Steve Carell’s first big break – the actor was 43 years old at the time.

Regis Philbin, 57

Regis Philbin started out as an NBC page and worked on "The Joey Bishop Show," but he was never widely known.

That changed in 1988 when the morning show Philbin was working on became the nationally syndicated "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee." After almost 20 years of working on TV, Philbin's chemistry with Kathie Lee made the show a success and gave him national exposure.

At 57, it was the first time the name Regis was in the nation's lexicon. He's been a part of pop culture ever since, most notably for hosting the game show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"

Lucille Ball, 40

Lucille Ball was a pioneer for both female leads and for comedy after creating one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, "I Love Lucy" in 1951.

However, she didn't become Lucy Ricardo until she was 40.

Before "I Love Lucy," Ball went from role to role in films. However, once television became a prominent medium she (along with her husband and co-star Desi Arnaz) tried to sell her vaudeville act to networks. That act became the prototype for "I Love Lucy."

Bea Arthur, 47

It wasn’t until Bea Arthur was in her forties that she landed on the map. Her portrayal of the acerbic Vera Charles opposite Angela Lansbury in the original Broadway production of “Mame” won her a Tony Award. She became more successful as she aged, gaining acclaim for her portrayal of Maude Findlay on “All in the Family,” and later, “Maude.” In addition, Arthur went on to score many Emmy Award nominations for her work on “The Golden Girls.”

Colonel Sanders, 62

Throughout his career, Colonel Sanders tried many professions: he was a fireman, a steam engine stoker, an insurance salesman and even tried practicing law. He eventually opened his own roadside restaurant in the 1930s and opened the first franchise restaurant in 1952 – he was 62 at the time.

Michael Emerson, 46

Before Michael Emerson became an Emmy Award-winning star, he took retail jobs and worked as a freelance illustrator in New York City. Discouraged, Emerson and his wife moved to Florida, where he appeared in local productions around the state. Emerson landed on the map with his electrifying performance as a serial killer on “The Practice,” which earned him his first Emmy Award. Emerson has taken home more Emmy Awards for his work on the popular thriller “Lost.”

--

There are so many more. Anyone's career can take off suddenly, not just in Hollywood, but elsewhere too.

Don't let age be the limitation of your life.

SFW alphabet for Quentin

Ooof, sorry this took over a month! Life got a little wild!

SFW Alphabet Ask Meme for Surviving the Game for Quentin Smith

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?) Quentin will probably be a bit awkward at first, but he likes to be physical with his affection. Holding hands while walking, leaning on one another if you're sitting somewhere, and just being close to one another in general.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?) Offer the poor perpetually sleep deprived thing an energy drink and you'll be instant friends. He's quiet a lot and mumbles way too often, but he's a good listener and will speak up when he's got something to say.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?) He loves to cuddle, but can be shy about it at first. Start small, leaning on him or laying your head in his lap, and in no time you'll be snuggled up together any time the opportunity arises.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?) Quentin would love to settle down someday, someplace far from his hometown and the nightmares associated with it. He can cook... ramen. And hot pockets. And toast. Don't ask about cleaning. His bedroom floor hasn't seen the light of day in years.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?) He'd try to find someplace private to talk to you, and tell you directly what was going on.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?) Finding someone to spend the rest of his life with would be a dream come true.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?) Quentin is usually pretty soft spoken, preferring to avoid conflict altogether if possible. That doesn't mean he won't fight if he has too, but he prefers to use his brain over his fists.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?) Quentin really only allows or offers hugs to people he likes and trusts. When he does hug, they're warm and soft.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?) It'll take a while, not because he doesn't feel it, but because he's too shy to say it. He'll probably start saying it too quietly for you to hear, until you either catch it or he builds up the courage to say it louder.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?) He only really gets jealous if he thinks someone is knowingly trying to make a move on his partner.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss their partner? Where do they like to be kissed?) Shy, a little inexperienced at first, but eager and a fast learner.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?) Quentin is pretty nervous around kids. They're small and loud and make him somewhat anxious.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?) Quiet, incredibly early, and with a whole lot of coffee.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?) Probably playing video games until the earliest hours of the morning with a growing pile of empty energy drink cans nearby.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?) Quentin is pretty closed off about his past, not really interested or eager to rehash and explain his past connections to a Known Slasher or his time in the Entity's Realm.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?) Quentin is pretty laid back and generally patient despite the lack of sleep. The main thing that gets under his skin is people who refuse to listen when others have something to say.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about their partner? Do they remember every little detail they mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?) Remembering the details is incredibly important. Without that, it can be difficult to differentiate between what's real and what's not...

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in their relationship?) Being able to fall asleep and dream of you instead of having more nightmares. Waking up beside you was a definite bonus.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect their partner? How would they like to be protected?) Quentin is very protective over the people he loves and will do anything within his power to try to keep them safe. As long as you stand by him when he's the one who needs help, he couldn't ask for more.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?) He'll definitely try his best! It's the thought that counts, right?

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?) Due to his sleeping habits (or lack there of) he sometimes forgets to eat, or will start to make food then forget it's there...

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?) As long as he's taken a shower recently and his clothes don't smell, he's ready to go.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without their partner?) Maybe not incomplete, but very sad. It is possible for him to get even quieter and more closed off.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.) He can and will fall asleep with his eyes open. Sometimes standing up. It's led to more than a few instances of other Survivors starting a full blown conversation, only to realize he's totally checked out and not hearing a thing when he doesn't answer...

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?) He's not fond of stripes. Especially horizontal stripes. Just avoid wearing stripes and you should be fine.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?) Sleep is dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. When he does sleep, DO NOT wake him up. He will take an adrenaline fueled swing at you. The others figured that out pretty fast when Leon got knocked out cold. Now they always send David (King) to wake him up. If he wakes up on his own, don't be surprised if he spends a few minutes figuring out if he's really awake or not...
