This Is Why I Have Tumblr.

Iconic and relatable.

Can’t have it. Can’t risk it, not with my luck 

The way the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches you things, you don’t realize they’re giving you subtle hints to make you think a certain way. Like, “marriage between a man and a woman”, which makes you naturally think; “Oh, there’s no other option.” And so people who end up being LGBTQ+ in the church, even if they were raised in it, become alienated. And looked at strangely. Sometimes they talk about you behind your back depending on the culture in the specific area, but other times it’s just the silent judging. The disapproving looks that you catch out of the corner of your eye. It can be so hard, to think about this religion that seems to have so many wonderful things, that seems so accepting. But if you don’t fit into the specific mold they want you to, you can’t have it. Even if you do everything they ask.

Bit of a personal one for ya 🥀

For those curious as to what religion, I grew up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints, aka Mormon.

I was IN IT. I'm not exaggerating when I say that religion was apart of my life almost everyday single day up until I left at 23 yrs old.

I sketched this comic a year ago before I came out to my parents. I hadn't yet processed why simply thinking of doing so upset me so much, despite knowing my parents would be supportive.

I did end up telling them soon after sketching this. It went better than I thought it would. They told me all that matters is that I'm happy 😭

I'm almost 30 now. Left the church 5+ yrs ago. It's been wild seeing how 'the world' is, how normal people are. Everyone isn't a degenerate like the Church made non-members seem. There's a lot of de-programing I've had to do and boy does it make me realize how weird I grew up, how odd some of the teachings and mindsets are.

Like I said in the comic, the faith taught me good stuff too ... but I'm glad I left ... I never felt like I truly belonged in it. There was always this part of me that never meshed, no matter how long I'd been in it.

Thank you to anyone who read this far. I could go on and on about this topic but I'll leave it at this. Let me know if this resonated with any of you. I'm curious how common it is.

Reblog to give an ancient spirit lurking in your room a nice hot bowl of soup

Hehehe fuck yeah

I can't help it, just look at him!

IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946) • JIMMY STEWART as George Bailey and LIONEL BARRYMORE as Mr. Potter

OK so recently, I’ve been obsessed with Lego monkey kid. At first I didn’t think I had a streaming service that it was on, however… I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it was on Amazon. I finally got the chance to watch it recently. (By recently I mean in the past couple days.) I got through the first season, as well as the two specials. Then I go to watch the second season on Amazon because they said they had it. I try to watch the second season and lo and behold, it says “this title is unavailable”. So I went searching on the internet, as one does, to find out what the deal is. And I find this post on Reddit. 

Are you serious? If this is true….. I’m so fucking mad right now. SO fucking mad.  Because I’m already poor as it is bruh. That’s some serious bullshit. Guess Imma have to find it somewhere else.

Are fedoras really that bad?

YES YES THEY ARE
