first off I absolutely lovvv ur art 😍😍 its so gorgeous andbthe way u draw characters is just 🩷🩷🩷 I was wondering if u could mayb draw some the book of mormon or stuff? (Idk if u watched it or if u drew smth from that already,,, )
Hi there!!
ofc I watched book of mormon!! I actually used to have a huuuge hyperfixation on it a few years back that was so bad that my parents banned me from watching bootlegs of it at the time 😭
*does some googling* oh its written by the creators of south park, that makes sense
The bright and cheery forced smiles of the missionaries are accurate
The set is amazing, with it looking like an lds temple and everything. The backdrop with the clouds and the planets even looks like the giant murals they have in the temple visitors centers
I love the salt lake city backdrop with the mormon temple right in the middle surrounded by the more obvious corporations like McDonald's and stuff. Did you know the LDS church owns a mall in the same city? It even has a little river going through it
The spooky mormon hell dream sequence was the best thing i've ever witnessed. Especially as somebody who really did get guilt-fueled nightmares, albeit not as theatrical and hellish lol
Seeing the cups of coffee dancing in hell alongside Jeffrey Dahmer and Adolf Hitler was the best, my favorite moment
The song about turning off your uncomfortable/unapproved thoughts was also amazing. The actual phrase commonly used is putting the thought "on your shelf" to set it aside to think about later. There's literally a song they teach to toddlers about never frowning because nobody likes it and making yourself smile instead.
Hearing people crack up about things you used to believe sucks but finally you are surrounded by people who agree that this is ridiculous rather than people who think you are the crazy one for doubting
Mormons don't actually think Jesus was blond but they do think he visited America and most of the art makes him look northern European
Mormons don't really believe in a traditional hell or that Jesus hates you for sinning, but the level of guilt is still the same. Like that might as well be the case because your eternal afterlife is still at stake.
The "I Am Africa" song is so on point. Missionaries go to a foreign country and really do start wearing their traditional clothes and keep speaking the language even after coming home as if they really are part of the culture now
I was not expecting to see punk rock Darth Vader or Yoda or lieutenant Uhura or Sam and Frodo.
When Elder Price said "fuck," that was a blessed moment
I'm so glad I never actually went on a mission and could only relate so much. But that dedication to following all the rules in the missionary handbook is REAL and not even as intense as they portrayed it at times. The religious scrupulosity OCD is like no other. Like it's not unheard of for a missionary to keep working on their mission even if their mom or someone died while they were away.
There are still so many weird things about growing up mormon that they didn't even touch on. Like heaven being an MLM, multiple levels and everything.
Thanks for the read, feel free to ask any questions if you're curious because I like complaining about mormonism lol
LISA FRANKENSTEIN NATION I WAS LISTENING TO THE BOOK OF MORMON SOUNDTRACK AND I HAD AN AWFUL REALIZATION.
JOSEPH SMITH “FOUND” THOSE TABLETS IN UNDER THAT TREE IN 1823 AND WASNT MADE AN OFFICIAL RELIGION UNTIL 1830.
THE CREATURE DIED AS A YOUNG ADULT IN 1837
THIS MF IS OLDER THAN THE WHOLE ASS RELIGION OF MORMONISM
THESE MFS WERE ALIVE AT THE SAME TIME
NOT ONLY THAT JOSEPH SMITH LIVED A LONGER FUCKING LIFE HIM
god was absolutely not on my man’s side while he was alive like wow idk what’s worse: having your death be spent in a hell of semi-consciousness for 150 something years or having some random probably schizophrenic dude be more well remembered than you 😭
i was doing a dive into the marvin trilogy and found this playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6Wx2y72aSy5cqeEVF6UwEsFUDnxNkSeX&si=fT1PXqKwVjvLRc6p
op placed turn it off at the end of the whole thing 😭😭 they absolutely get it
