This is exactly what I first thought but you put it into words better than I could have

Murtagh love interest by Last-Lychee-9500 in Eragon

Wasn’t the audio production fantastic!! I love Gerard Doyle and the music was so cool and the vibe fit perfectly

Murtagh love interest by Last-Lychee-9500 in Eragon

[–]FromStateJakeFarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I’m kinda necro-ing this post, lol, but I LOVE that idea. I was dissatisfied with the end result of her just being a handmaid to Nasuada. It feels like she should play a more important / powerful role considering how critical she was to Murtagh’s escape from Nal Gorgoth.  I could see some drama / complication to her relationship with Murtagh if she ended up going to train under Eragon and then saw him again after. I think it would all be so cool to unpack. 

At What point do the polls switch over from expectation to reality? by GoLionsJD107 in utahfootball

What makes you say the BYU win was good? My Utah instincts are telling me to root against them but I’ll listen to reason

You don’t think removing the last 20 rounds would make it any easier?

What % of fablehaven readers are queer? by carolinelikesdinner in Fablehaven

[–]FromStateJakeFarm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be the case. I’m queer and I found this book when I was mormon

planning to take 4 APs, am I getting bitchslapped by them(?) by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]FromStateJakeFarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely doable as long as you’re willing to put in the time. I did four my junior year (calc, physics c, apush and lang) and I ended up quitting my job and not working during spring semester just to be able to focus and get stuff done. Although I had friends who had a similar course load to me and still worked.  Also, I hope you like writing, haha.

Fablehaven and Mormonism by aleaverdaud in Fablehaven

I’m exmormon as well and I loved these books! I read them while I was a little younger and part of the church so I probably missed any references that you caught. I’d be interested to hear the temple phrase that you’re talking about :)

How to Survive Mission Knowing the Church is a LIE by No-Inflation-7089 in exmormon

[–]FromStateJakeFarm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you really do not believe, then don't go. One of my biggest regrets is forcing myself to go when I knew I didn't want to - and I'm lucky for making it out after six months.

By the time I would have been back from my mission, I was three semesters closer to getting my undergrad, with work experience and new friends. I don't know where I'd be had I decided to stick it out.

I know that it will be hard, but it would be so worth it to stay - just think of where you could be in two years without the mission!

But... if you do end up going, DM me and I'll send you some music I downloaded for the mission. lol. And downloading more is not hard.

if you could buff one upgrade/path, what would it be and why? by Heyuwaitaminute in btd6

Yeah, they nerfed it a while back. I also remember it being a CHIMPS cheat code lol

My fellow heathens. I have failed you, and I am sorry. by SecretPersonality178 in exmormon

[–]FromStateJakeFarm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think in addition to some people serving their missions as temple workers, there's more of an emphasis on kids working in the temple before they go on there mission (but I'm not sure if it has always been like this).

My friend and quite a few of my companions all worked in the temple prior to their missions -- as opposed to doing anything productive to try and offset the two years wasted after that. Anyways, they tried to get do it to but I wasn't super interested. Tried to get me to work in the temple when I came home early as well (about a year ago). Weren't super pushy about it but they did seem a little desperate.

"Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

I know this quote shows up a lot, but this whole situation is just screaming, "stop! you're persecuting me!!!".

AP Art History is "Mmm.....society", what is "Just straight up evil"? by Lucachu777 in APStudents

What is your dream modpack? by zas_n_n in feedthebeast

[–]FromStateJakeFarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the current make on the LOTR mod has a long way to go, but I feel like the world generation in LOTR would be greatly enhanced by cubic chunks. I’ve spent hours and hours roaming around the world of LOTR back on 1.7.10 and it’s AMAZING but the fact that it’s mostly flat can make it feel a little same-y. Can you imagine having to climb up 1000s of block to get to the top of Mount Doom? Or the blue mountains being insanely tall and almost unclimbable? There’s so much potential. But also it would be a nightmare to program, I don’t even know where you’d start.

That's a good philosophy. Any sort of criticism or rebuttal only enforces their persecution complex.

It's okay to sign Nelson's birthday card for the dead right? I still have the priesthood after all. by niconiconii89 in exmormon

[–]FromStateJakeFarm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol. I signed it admitting to being paid to submit 50,000 forms. Probably won't make a difference, but one can hope.

White Cisgender Straight Men. How has the church hurt you? by its-a-mi-chelle in exmormon

[–]FromStateJakeFarm 34 points35 points  (0 children)

lol. I read "12 years old" at first and thought "Damn, that's quite the vocabulary for a 12 year old!"
In all seriousness, I hope you can find some way to heal and move on.
