Remus/Xenophilius
Does anyone else ship Remus and Xenophilius?
I think they would make a really cute, but very disorganised couple! Here's a few of my headcanons (sfw):
It takes them ages to actually get together because they are both bumbling idiots.
Remus is excessively worried about imposing, doesn't want to step on Pandora's memory, or overstep with Luna.
They drink ridiculous amounts of tea, but also often have several cold pots sitting about because they both forgot they made them, or both made a pot and then one went to waste.
The amount of books and paperwork they own between them is just stupid, and neither have a filing system - like at all - so by the time they've been living together a couple of years, the entire house is just covered in stacks of books, parchments etc.
They both value their own time/space, but when together are very affectionate. Always holding hands, lots of little pecks on the cheek, hugs, and snuggles.
A lot of their conversations involve them both talking about their own thing, and it's impossible to tell if they even understand what each other is saying, but they seem to make it work.
Don't ever expect them to keep a date / remember your birthday / return that book you lent, they both think the other one will keep track of these things, but neither one does.
Remus tries to prank Xenophilius, but he barely notices; spider in his tea - "oh look, poor thing"; Remus jumps out at him in a scary mask - "good morning love". It doesn't stop Remus from trying.
Their shared interest is magical creatures, though they might have some differing opinions on which ones actually exsist, this leads to lively, but very diplomatic debates which usually end in lots of snogging.
Neither Xeno, or Luna is in the least bit afraid of werewolves, and completely accept Remus for who he is, helping him to come to terms with that part of himself.
Somehow Luna persuades Professor Snape to teach her how to brew the Wolfsbane Potion (no one has any idea how she managed that because she is often told off in class for being dreamy) but she becomes extremely adept, and brews it for her new dad every month without fail. (And makes sure he doesn't forget to take it!)
Luna loves her new dad, whether as a human or a wolf, and loves to stay up with him on a full moon, playing fetch, and tying flowers and ribbons in his thick fur.
What do you think? Please add more below!

My parents said no, but that didn’t stop my siblings and I from watching Simpsons (along with Married With Children and Conan the Barbarian).
Submitted by @eggs-n-ham-sam
Not being LDS I was lucky enough to not have my parents try and forbid The Simpson’s, my grandparents had a bit of hate on for Calvin and Hobbes for the first year or so of syndication because he hadn’t been fleshed out all the way and was a asshole kid at the start, so that’s the closest I had to contend with, lol.
As for what you did, you’ll notice that the tweet doesn’t say that 90′s LDS kids didn’t watch it, just if they were allowed to or not, gonna be a tiny sliver of the not allowed to watch that actually listened to their parents, but the rest of y’all watched it.
Source: I was alive then and everyone was watching The Simpsons, it was unavoidable.
Just be glad you’re not part of the xenu brigade or you’d have had to watch Battlefield Earth over and over again and not laugh or cringe.

Newfound interest: scientology 😭😭😭
It's absolutely fucking absurd
I have read some of their secret documents too, about the different "OT" (Operating thetan) levels. 😌 the ones that are usually hidden and revealed on their flagship "Apollo" (I think). Some of it isnt directly copied but remembered by members who saw the documents first-hand.
I am learning about engrams and e-readers and clears and pre-clears and Xenu/Xemu ofcourse. Apparently "body thetans" is not something you learn about in detail until you are on OT level 3!! Body thetans are ofcourse the brainwashed souls of billions of aliens murdered by hydrogen bombs around volcanoes. 😀😀😀 absolutely bizzarre religion. Basically the lived past trauma of these aliens can rub off on you and through auditing you can get rid of your past trauma as well as remove them from you, basically being an operating thetan means that you are a thetan unburdened by the other thetans (I think) and you are "operating" your body, but at this stage you could operate with or without a flesh vessel. Something about being a high-stage OT means you can manipulate space, time, energy and matter apparently and according to wikipedia they also believe you can create your own universes but I am yet to understand what they mean by that properly. I think its done through similar processess as auditing but it might be self-done and without the auditer, I'm unsure. Either way all of it is incredibly odd.
In the secret documents there are apparently text about telepathic communication with body thetans but I am yet to find or read that part.
it's a lot of info and a lot to understand 😭 Its too much to keep track of so if I misremember something I'm sorry. I am planning to read through all the important and/or interesting parts of all the technical bulletins of dianetics and scientology (as well as the 14th volume which is the secret one, not available in your average scientology church, but on the previously-mentioned sea-org boats. This project will probably take a while lol because its a whole lot of texts and the hubbard himself made hundreds if not thousanda of audio lectures too. I might keep updating this blog on further interesting info or just what I'm reading about, so if you find this intriguing do follow and if you have any recommendations for texts to read or videos to watch I'd be happy to hear about it!! L. Ron Hubbard released a fuckton of books and I won't read them all because I am a pretty slow reader and most of it is just pseudo-scientific nonsense about his alternate psychology.
Anyway thanks for me byeee :3

Xenu & Yakub | The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend
In the 2000's, Issac Hayes, Musician and the voice of Chef during the early era of South Park, approached Scientology leader David Miscavige as to why they weren't doing more to court black Americans which led to Miscavigout reaching out to the Nation of Islam. And as bat shit crazy as that sounds and is, it's also strangely appropriate. Birds of a feather, flock together. In 2010, the Nation of Islam began promoting the “benefits” of Dianetics, the core set of ideas preached by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
When I found out about the strange yet seamless alliance that exists between Scientology and The Nation of Islam, I had a creepy picture of Louis Farakan and David Miscavige shaking hands emerge.
And then I couldn't help but think that, "Well what choice do Xenu and Yakub have but join forces as well and battle them together?" And then I went to fiddle about Imagine AI until I was able to get it to shit me out an image of that picture in my head.
There aren't a lot of renderings of either out there, and this isn't an exact match with what exists but this variation in particular spoke to me and made me giggle - and hus I amused myself in the process of mining this image and sharing it with whomever may see it if nothing else.

Raised by Thetans in a Galactic Gulag | Aaron Smith-Levin | EP 413
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson speaks with former-Scientologist and podcaster Aaron Smith-Levin. They explore his upbringing within the “church,” how Scientology entices new members, the basis for Dianetics in Freudian psychology, the religiously inspired twist only found behind multiple paywalls, the higher being known as Xenu, what broke Aaron’s belief, and his now ongoing fight against the manipulation of this still relevant, international cult.
Aaron Smith-Levin is a former Scientologist and host of the “Growing Up In Scientology” YouTube channel. He was also a main interviewee on the docu-series “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.” Since leaving the cult, he has devoted himself and his career to unmasking the harmful practices and beliefs held by the international religion.

Ran a oneshot yesterday set in the Cyberpunk universe by Mike Pondsmith, using The Sprawl PBTA role-playing system instead of the actual Cyberpunk system because The Sprawl is much more accessible and has specific in-system scaffolding for elaborate heists. Dramatis personae:
Rachel - Prophet Nine, she/her, Pusher, a former Scientologist who upon reaching a certain auditing level remembered a past life in which she was a Child of Xenu, who is actually a benevolent figure unlike what is preached in Scientology. Founded the cult, Children of Xenu, and has a small but loyal following
Nox - James, he/him, Driver, a no-nonsense professional who has a big fucking car which he's very good at driving
Em - Transistor, she/her, Tech, a wunderkind jack-of-all-trades with a diplomat's soul and multidisciplinary expertise
Ashley - Deadeye Sarah, she/her, Killer, has a big fucking gun and enjoys using it
Trevor - Big Scoop, he/him, Reporter, late arrival to the party, is trying to break a big story and spent the first 2 hours of the session tied up in a basement (Trevor arrived an hour in and I hooked his character in at a narratively appropriate time)
The setup: it's 2075, everyone but Big Scoop has been an edgerunner in Night City for a number of years already. They were on a job together recently that went south in a big way. Their planner, Jimmy, who tended to lead from the front, missed a crucial detail, the job went sideways, and he took a high-velocity round in the face trying to fix it. The end result was disastrous and public enough that Prophet Nine, James, Transistor, and Deadeye Sarah were pretty much out of the game, their reputations in tatters despite their overall competence.
The session opens with them getting a call from Rogue Amendiares, Night City's #1 Fixer. She brings them to her club, the Afterlife, and explains that she has a job specifically for them. Arasaka, the biggest megacorporation in the world, was running a convoy through the badlands outside Night City. It got hit by the Aldecaldos, a nomad tribe, and the cargo taken. The hit was quick, clean, and surgical, clearly an inside job. But the Aledecaldos, while taking the cargo - a big, nondescript, sealed crate - to the drop point inside Night City, got hit by an opportunistic group of Tyger Claw gangsters in Japantown who took the truck with the crate in it. Now Rogue's client wants the crate taken from the Tyger Claws quickly and with a minimum of public fuss. Rogue calls the PCs in because she knows they're competent, but no one will be watching them because their reps are in tatters, and she knows they'll take the job, because the client is paying a lot and she's their only way back into the game.
The crew accepts the job and Rogue gives them their initial payment and the drop site once they have the package, an abandoned warehouse in Watsontown. The crew begins the Legwork Phase - determining where the crate ended up getting taken, by whom, and how they're going to extract it. Transistor hacks the security cameras of a net cafe on the street corner of the intersection where the Tyger Claws hit the truck with the crate, finds footage of the truck being taken, and starts the process of figuring out where it went.
Prophet Nine calls on some of her Children of Xenu followers to help. One of them, Charlie X, runs a chopshop where the truck actually ended up being taken. He gives her the truck's info and his own security footage of the four Tyger Claws that brought it.
James goes to Wakako Oda, the Fixer for Japantown and de facto leader of the Tyger Claws, and after a little tense negotiation, gets out of her that there are rogue elements within the Tygers who saw an opportunity to take the truck and make some money on their own. She gives him some names, two of whom she has already "interviewed," as well as a two-block area with eight buildings in it that she suspects the rogue Claws are using for their own operations.
With this additional info, Transistor successfully tracks the truck to one of the eight buildings in the given area. Using this info, Deadeye Sarah poses as a pizza delivery person to the building. She is unconvincing, but fortunately she has an armored coat and dermal plating that makes her basically immune to small arms fire, which is all the Claws are packing. A shootout ensues in which she kills eight Claws by herself. She finds a foolishly-placed incriminating billboard of the area with notes on which buildings are used as fronts for which operations, takes a picture of it, and gets out. The team successfully determines that the only place with enough storage is the building in the center of the area, a nightclub-slash-drug-den that has extensive basement storage the Claws use for storing drugs, guns, and other stolen goods.
Prophet Nine visits The Dragon, the ripperdoc in Japantown who is known to supply the Tyger Claws with their cybernetic augmentations. Using some truly excellent fast talk and flattery, as well as a hefty bribe, she convinces him to break doctor-patient confidentiality and give her the access codes to the Claws' cybernetics. Transistor then uses these codes to hack the cybereyes of the nightclub staff, getting a perfect map of the building as well as intel on how many Claws are in the building, the precise location of the box, and the fact that there is a reporter tied up in the basement.
The team decides to move to the Action Phase. They decide their best approach is to show up at the club near closing time and sell the Claws a line about how they have been sold out. They talk their way past the bouncer and meet with the leader of the rogue Claws faction, Kintaro. James displays some excellent hardball negotiation skills when he tells Kintaro that they know what's in the basement, and if he knows, so does Arasaka. He reminds Kintaro about the fact that Adam Smasher, one of the most terrifying men in the world, works for Arasaka, and offers $50k to make the problem go away.
Kintaro is successfully scared shitless, but his younger gang members, who don't know Smasher's reputation, are unconvinced. An argument over their private links ensues. Transistor gets the crew access to their private comms using the codes Prophet Nine got from The Dragon, as well as sneakily disabling all their combat cyberware like their mantis blades. In the basement, Big Scoop realizes no one has come for the usual 15-minute patrol, breaks out of his bonds, grabs an LMG, and starts heading upstairs.
The argument among the Claws is getting heated. Deadeye Sarah, who is getting frustrated with Kintaro's inability to command his people, starts threatening one of the more uppity members of the gang. Things boil over and a massive shootout ensues, with Deadeye Sarah losing a (cyber)leg in the firefight. However, Transistor comes in with a clutch move, turning off all of the Claws' eyes and rendering them blind. The crew kills all of them but Kintaro, who they leave lying in a pool of his own shame as they go to retrieve the crate. Big Scoop gets upstairs, sees what's going on, and drops his LMG so they won't shoot him. They recognize that he's not part of the Claws and agree to help get him out, too.
The crew loads the crate onto a dolley they've brought, since it is large and weighs 250kg. At this point I have Nox roll 2d6 plus his car's Power to see if the crate fits in the trunk. A 5 says it does not, so we got an amusing scene of them trying and failing to close the trunk, then just bungie-cording it as closed as possible. Transistor takes one of the seats out of the back of the car to try to use as makeshift cushioning-slash-armor for the crate, which ultimately proves unsuccessful. Big Scoop logs on to Future Twitter to ask his followers if there's anything trending about Japantown, at which point he sees a video taken from an apartment window of thirty-odd Tyger Claws on motorcycles heading in their direction. James puts the pedal to the metal, following a route suggested by Big Scoop, and manages to lose most of them.
However, the six most badass bikers manage to stay on their tail, and a thrilling car chase slash gunfight ensues. The crew and the bikers trade fire, with Deadeye Sarah killing most of them but Prophet Nine also getting a few hits in. Transistor spends most of the car chase trying to hold onto Big Scoop's ankles, as he tries to hold onto the crate, which is starting to come loose from the trunk. At the conclusion of the chase, James kills the final biker by putting on his e-brake and forcing him into a rear-end collision; the crate goes flying out of the trunk and crashes face-first into the asphalt. There is now a large crack in the crate.
While the edgerunners argue over what to do, Big Scoop looks inside with his enhanced cybereyes and sees a sleeping Japanese man, one that looks suspiciously like a much younger Saburo Arasaka, CEO of Arasaka Corporation and the most powerful man in the world. He shares this information with the crew, who are concerned, but ultimately stick to their current course of action, which is to re-load the crate into the trunk and flee to Charlie X's chop shop, where the car will get repainted.
They go to repair the crate, but find that the crack broke a hermetic seal and that the man inside is waking up. Reluctantly, the crew agrees that they should open it, because if nothing else, a human will be easier to transport than a huge, heavy crate. Freed from the crate, the man inside tells them an incredible story: he *is* Saburo Arasaka - or, rather, a clone of Saburo Arasaka, one with all of his "real" counterpart's memories because of a program he calls "Soulkiller," an incredibly sophisticated piece of software written by the late Alt Cunningham which can scan and translate a human being's brainwaves into a digital personality engram. Because he knows everything the "real" Saburo knows, he also knows that he was created for the eventual purpose of Saburo downloading himself into this new, young, cloned body, the personality merge being expedited by the shared brainwaves.
Clone!Saburo says that he suspects Old!Saburo is not aware of the Aldecaldo theft of the crate, and that an Arasaka executive associated with the program is trying to conceal their failure from the higher-ups by getting Clone!Saburo back on the sly - hence why Rogue has been hired as an intermediary and why Arasaka simply didn't take the crate back with their own security forces. He offers the crew his word as a samurai that if they can get him to Arasaka Tower in Corpo Plaza, he will begin the process of seizing control of "his" company from Old!Saburo and will make sure the crew isn't cleaned up as loose ends, which is what he suspects will happen to them if they stick to the job as outlined and deliver him to their client in Watsontown. The crew agrees with his assessment and decides to take him on his word - Prophet Nine specifically soliciting his help taking on Scientology if he succeeds, which Clone!Saburo is happy to agree to because fuck Scientology.
The only way by car to Arasaka Tower is a road through Memorial Park in Corpo Plaza. Knowing that their client is aware that they are being double-crossed, since the crew is now headed in the wrong direction, James guns it hard and makes it all the way to Memorial Park before their unknown client's forces manage to intercept them. Three incredibly dangerous, full-borg Arasaka ninjas attack the car as it enters Memorial Park, one landing on the hood and cutting the engine block in half with a monomolecular katana. Big Scoop starts live streaming, specifically using a move from his playbook called "Live and On the Air." Trevor rolls and hits an 8, which means he needs to pick a downside to the story going live. He picks the option that reads, "Your rushed narrative is misinterpreted by the public with unintended narrative consequences."
The fight between the crew and the ninjas is furious, but brief. Transistor kills the one on the trunk by hotwiring the car's lithium battery to explode; the crew jump out of the car and avoid the inferno. Prophet Nine tries to shoot one of the two remaining ninjas, but fails and gets a near-fatal bullet in her chest for her trouble, which knocks her unconscious. Deadeye Sarah takes off that ninja's head with a monomolecular whip, while James body-checks the last one into the flaming ruin of his car. The last threat defeated, the crew and Clone!Saburo make it to the steps of Arasaka Tower, with Transistor carrying the injured and bleeding Prophet Nine on her shoulders.
Big Scoop's live-streaming worked: the fight with the ninjas in the park has gone viral, with more than a billion views, and thousands of people in Night City have gathered at the base of Arasaka Tower - including all of Prophet Nine's Children of Xenu. Prophet Nine wakes up, rises, bloody, from Transistor's shoulders, and hails her followers, who begin chanting, "PRAISE XENU!" The entire crowd goes feral and begins chanting it too. The unintended narrative consequences have arrived.
We have our epilogue: Clone!Saburo is good as his word, getting the crew's names off of Arasaka hit-lists when he seizes power. All the characters receive a fat payout, enough to let them retire. James gets a new car. He and Deadeye Sarah both continue edgerunning, since they're not the retiring kind. Transistor, as the unsung hero of the crew, becomes famous within tech circles and finds a community of like-minded people in which she is a minor celebrity. Big Scoop, as the reporter at ground zero of the Clone!Saburo story, becomes a properly Famous Journalist, a la Hunter S. Thompson.
Prophet Nine's Children of Xenu cult explodes to become the second most popular religion in the world, after Judaism. Scientology is toppled, following the unexplained deaths of many of its top members, including Tom Cruise. The Children of Xenu's only real religious precepts are "cyberware is good because if you have less meat there is less of you for Thetans to attach to" and "don't be a dick," so on the whole the religion does more good than harm, though cyberpsychosis cases do rise sharply because of its focus on cyborgization.
