Exmormon thoughts on the Book of Mormon Musical:
Tumblr media
The whole thing was spectacularly irreverent
*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
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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

So a lot of people have been making really awesome rtc aus, and i want to join in on the fun
Unfortunately i dont have many cool ideas so my brain did the next best thing: combine my current hyperfixation and my last hyperfixation
So i present to you, the ride the cyclone book of mormon au:
Tumblr media
Ocean is Kevin Price (both perfectionists who want to be the best) and Constance is Arnold Cunningham (will do whatever for their best friends and very optimistic)
Tumblr media
Noel is Connor McKinley (emotionally repressed homosexual with religious guilt)
Tumblr media
I felt like their mission should then be in Ukraine, making Mischa Nabulungi Hatimbi (their personalities dont fit as well as the others but he still helps out the missionaries)
And last but not least, Penny and Ricky are Elder Church and Elder Poptarts, mostly because of this joke I thought of:
