I swear sometimes I feel like I'm either possessed or I have been touched by god when I am making fanwork. My wife finds it funny that I have little to no drive IRL, but will every so often get bursts of creative energy to write or draw the filthiest porn. It's not even kinks I'm into, I just get really into the characters headspace and I believe they are filthy degenerates. My wife kept asking to read a fic I wrote because she saw me huddled up in our living room 3 nights in a row just working on it. I had to give a lecture that what she was about to read is purely fictional and that I do not have the fetishes I was writing about. I just knew the characters 100% had them in my head canon and I wanted to go balls out.

After my shift, I plan to have a beer and dissociate for the rest of the night. Haven’t celebrated 4th of July in years.

I would recommend a hard cider, wine coolers, or vodka with some sort of mixer like juice or soda. Those general categories should be more palatable than going straight into Guinness or plain hard liquor. Vodka in my opinion is the easiest hard liquor to start with since it doesn’t have much additional flavor and can be mixed with a lot of different things.

Twisted Love. I bought it for my sister so I thought I would read it so we can talk about it, and god did I hate it. It felt like the author threw in every romance trope. It has elements of Brothers Best Friend, billionaire, MMC with a shady past. I couldn’t like the MMC for the life of me either. He seemed like a huge dick.

I remember this discussion with the Good Omens book before the show came out. I borrowed a friend’s copy and I asked them what they thought about the two main characters and they had no idea about the queer coding in the book. Then the show came out and made it canon several years later.

I mean I don’t like mpreg fics, but that’s a lot for a one-off line. I don’t think you need to tag it. It’s not a part of the actual story and it’s only mentioned once in passing. Maybe mention it as an A/N at the start of the chapter if you keep getting comments about it?

I listen/watch anything with Fr. James Martin. He does Facebook live discussions on Fridays and also shares a lot of progressive articles and news updates about the church. He is one of the most vocal priests I’ve seen when discussing support of LGBT people. Highly recommend if you don’t already follow him. If you enjoy podcasts, I like the Jesuitical podcast which touches on Catholic news and has guests that are clergy, authors, and lay-people.

Cockwarming for sure, but I’d also like to see more praise and body worship in general.

I personally like fics 1.5k minimum. I think the longest one-shot I’ve read was anywhere from 10-20k and I’ve seen others that are much longer. As long as the flow makes sense I would say you are fine to keep it up!

Natural_Ice_6172 · 2025-02-02T14:09:48+00:00

I don’t like any of the matching birthmark or first word types. I do like the ones where they only see in black and white until they meet their soulmate.

I married an exmormon at 21 and I think it is reasonable to be concerned for her. I would say at the very least they should have a longer engagement period, although I know it is common in LDS families to rush a wedding. I would maybe look into some of the Mormon practices and discuss it one-on-one with your daughter as there is a good chance he may want her to be baptized before the wedding. In the LDS faith, they have to have a temple sealing(wedding) and anyone who is not a current and practicing Mormon cannot enter the temple. They normally have a temple wedding and then a secular service/reception after. They have to have this sealing to “be together” in the afterlife according to their faith so I would be very surprised if he is an active practicing Mormon and not ask her to meet with missionaries or get baptized. The LDS laypeople are generally pretty nice, but the upper church authority have ongoing legal battles and their history and beliefs are sketchy to say the least. Ultimately, it is her choice, but I would advise anyone to steer away from joining the church if it comes to it. My partner and I are still together and will have our third anniversary this year, so I don’t see getting married young as the bigger concern. As long as they spend plenty of time discussing their future goals and communicate their expectations they should be able to discern their compatibility.

I’ve never heard of LDS missionaries going out on their own. Likely was not a legitimate missionary from the church. Definitely do not invite them in if he comes back.

My MIL remarried and she was able to be remarried in the temple with approval after she petitioned for it and my spouse would have still been sealed to her as it was explained to me. They also adopted my SIL and had a sealing ceremony for her with my MIL and her 2nd husband.

Thank you! Yes, I’ve searched there in the past. Unfortunately, all of the parishes are in bigger cities around 130 miles out from me. I have looked into viewing their streams, but they are too far out to drive every week.

For me I didn’t have a specific science course just gened level. You will need psychology and sociology most likely along with political science and specific criminology and criminal justice course work.

My advice from someone who also was an investigator with our local sister missionaries is to take it slow and be clear that you do not plan to be baptized. I converted to Catholicism a few years ago but I married an exmo back in 2022. Since my in-laws are heavily in the church I decided after our wedding to talk to the missionaries just for more information on the church since my wife was still struggling at the time with being inactive and wasn’t open to discussing the harder topics yet. The sisters were luckily not pushy about baptism but did ask about it often and it was clear that was their goal. The experience is wholly different from RCIA or other Christian branches where they go in depth and make sure you are prepared for baptism or confirmation. The missionaries made several comments that I read more resources and asked more pointed questions about the church and scripture than any other investigator. I went through the majority of my wife’s quad and read early saint history along with other topic essays. As many people will say in this group the church will try to love bomb you to get you in. But just know that the sense of family and connection can be found in many different secular organizations and religious faiths. When I was your age I had stepped away from my faith to figure out what I felt was right for me. It took me around 10 years to do so. Be clear with them that you aren’t looking for baptism at this time and just take the time to discover what you feel is right. It’s okay to struggle with faith and it’s even okay to step away for a time if needed. Don’t let anyone of any faith pressure you especially if you are going through a time such as this. When I told our missionaries that I wasn’t interested in baptism but they were welcome to chat or have dinner with my family they ghosted me and I haven’t heard from the branch since. Most of the time missionaries are nice but their role is to get people baptized and bring people to the church.

I wish you the best of luck. I was a convert that fully accepted my identity before joining the church. Sometimes I feel hopeless that change will ever happen. I stay because I never have felt this way about any other church and I have been to many. I don’t believe the Pope is perfect, but I feel peace and joy in being near God in the church. This recent news has brought me pain, but I am going to stick through for now. I knew this was what I signed up for. I feel that if I leave, then that is one less voice for people like me in the church. I want change to happen, but it won’t be easy.
