I was Mormon.

That word washes over me like watercolor memories of sprinklers on the church lawn, of reading from thin-leafed pages in a circle with the pink-orange skies above, of the feeling of my socks running across the scratchy blue floors chasing my friends.

The word feels like big round tables wheeled out for every event, cheap plastic-y tableclothes and potlucks and trunk-or-treats, it sounds like the clanging of metal chair racks and rushing to be the strongest. It sounds like when they rented bouncy houses for the kids, or a dunking machine for the bishop, kids excitedly ramming whiffle balls at the target to send him splashing into the water.

It smells like hot, wet pavement where water balloons fights were, where mutual every Wednesday was a collection of girls who loved each other - sitting on the carpet, in the gym. Talking about Buzzfeed Unsolved mysteries, and vines, and creating a goofy instagram page, and early morning seminary where kids fell asleep, but we tried to do activities. Dressing up like King Benjamin and standing atop a fort made of those cushy blue Relief Society chairs. The mutual activities of standing in the kitchen making baked goods. The pink and rainbow decorations for Young Women's, gold torch necklaces, beautiful women leaders crying that they loved us girls, babies bouncing on their lap, telling us to please live our own life, and know that you're beautiful on the inside, and God loves you.

The weeks and weeks of arts and crafts. White paint and gold glitter paint on picture frames housing a silleheoutte of myself, brookies and glitter gel pen journals, gingerbread house temples.

The squeak of the missionaries' shoes on the gymnasium, always playing basketball. That one youth dance with those two guys dancing with each other to Africa by Toto when that was a meme. Tearing open glow sticks with my teeth in the dead of night at girl's camp, splattering glowy paint over everything. Sitting around the campfires, swimming in the lake, the little bottle of Bath & Body Works hand sanitizer a girl gave me. Youth Conference and positively weeping when we all sang How Great Thou Art.

It sounds like, "I like to look for rainbows, whenever there is rain...."

I want to die when I think of it all.

Never a thread was woven so deep as it was in me and what I saw when I looked up to great men, telling me in whispered tones to go the world over if it meant telling of my love. Never so safe did I feel as when my young women's leaders saw something in me, a smart, and brave girl, a bright girl - so many things to do to make the world a better place, and I would figure out how. Never did rainclouds parting in the spring make the air smell as fresh as riding the schoolbus and praying, and reading scriptures, and feeling overjoyed to receive my patriarchal blessing - something that made me sob uncontrollably for years at even the mere thought of having love with someone, of having earned "God's trust", of all things working together for good... Never so proud was I when my dad told me what a great example I was, how he... looked up to me. How the older gentleman said he loved when I prayed for a group. How the girl I know today as queer put her head on my shoulder and told me she trusted me and I....

I see the person in the mirror who betrayed that.

I slip into the memories of privately feeling heartbroken in the temple, searching to understand if I could still feel the Spirit there indicating I was worthy, when I knew in my mind I had problems with sexual thoughts and urges. Of the humiliation of telling these secrets and sexual divulsions to leaders and crying that I thought I was fogiven, because I felt like God still loved me.

I slip into the knowledge that it wasn't even until I left that I could contemplate how much I had given up on love existing, until I looked in the eyes of so many women who smiled down at me, or up at me, and realized that there was something healing in the sunflower smile of a woman. When I thought about love, it felt like how the words "my wife" sounded in my mouth, and dancing in my childhood home's warm kitchen light, and waking up to her smile every single day, forever.

I think of all the numerous kids I went to school with my whole life. I live in a predominantly Black area. There is still so much diversity as well from all corners of the world finding themselves here. I am not sad for long - I am reminded because of setting aside the stupidity of it all that whatsoever makes me not be a good friend is, well, evil. You can't take my friends away from me. You can't make me look every person of color in the eyes and tell them that they are saved in a kingdom in heaven that has no care, no love, for who they are. That would send White kids from Utah to tell them the saving is finally come to them, too. That when they read the words in class - of the Lamanites being cursed with dark skin, of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young having servants and this very mouthpiece of God returned to the earth says that you are not fit for the kingdom. That the pressure of the fucking 1970's made God first consider that His gifts to humanity included... "your" kind of humanity, your kind of darkness of skin, your kind of life. That God is White. That God, is a White God. That God who first made humans in the continent of Africa, who patterned his firstborns of Adam and Eve there, has nothing to say while his children are suffocated to death underknee in the street shouting for a mother -- felt nothing when that happened years after it did to another Son of his - and feels no compulsion to whisper in you, your Prophet's ear, that perhaps you will pay for this if you remain silent? That perhaps you are no less a wolf even if your coat is White, and you lead sheep into your pearly white jaws saying not a bleat, not a bark, and God's Shepherd does not look kindly at that? That God has nothing to say about the second-class rate of people of color in His reformed, restored Church?

What would it take for me to enact that again? To be as self-righteous, as deluded, as ignorant, as oblivious, as complicit?

Would it be if I was in another institution that fed my spiritual hunger? Perhaps my counseling job. Would I find within the hallowed halls of academia and mental health counseling the same accountability? Would I see something in my role as serving the greater good, justifying my harm? Would sanctimonious meetings across from board members and professors and deans quietly telling me that the sound of science is one that stakes no claims in petty, subjective, emotional pullings toward volatile politics, and my clients will isolate themselves from their loved ones, and insurance companies denying to pay me because I told them no therapy can help them with a fucked up, racist, homophobic, xenophobic world, and will I dull the bruising of pain?

Would it be in another faith tradition? Perhaps the pagan paths I cross from time to time, or the humanistic, Universality who my belief in might strengthen until I feel called along by another purpose? One that negates, neglects even, the lives around me? All paths may lead up the mountain, but the mountain be damned when the villagers at its base are suffering. When sparkly clouds of woowoo and picking and choosing hallucinate a voice in my ear again, and the depression takes over my sense of having a future, and it is by the voice of Providence that I have a Purpose for living again? A voice that shushes me that caring about a fight is how I die even easier, and I have fought so hard, and that it is unhealthy to be so angry, that there is safety in privileged silence? To save myself from nihilism, who would I throw aside?

Would it be amongst company that I love?

Would it be when my family dies?

Would it be if I lost my dad? My brother?

Would I find myself weeping in the office my dad was bishop in for years? Would I find myself sobbing in the Young Women's room beneath a portrait of Christ? Would it be in the pews, imagining my dad in the stands? Would it be when I look at the mission plaques on the wall - see my brother's hanging there? Know he spent 2 years of his life with a nametag bearing the name of this church, and elders would come far and wide to mourn him, saying they knew my brother like a dear friend?

Would it be if my mom died?

Would I crawl along the ground in agony, desperately searching for somewhere to plead to be heard in prayer one final time - to know she is in the Cosmos? Would I be angry, and wrest each portrait of each prophet off the wall, demanding to know why she was taken, until the only face responding back to me is that pile of prophets, the only ones bearing witness to child me that there was certainly an eternity? Would I embrace the warmth of any faith that told me her ghost was in the wind?

What if I lost my wife?

Would I search and search the world over and never find again the love I thought I had, until I believe I am cursed, and grief fools me into thinking I need to return to right this curse?

Would it be if I find myself amongst the company of solely, or majority White people? White friends, White coworkers and co-counselors, a White wife? Adopt White babies?

Would it be if I became suicidal again? Begging for a way to walk back again, and having lost so much faith in myself, I believe that maybe there is nowhere to go. Maybe there is only the embrace of comfort, comfort that rocks me to sleep with the vision that life is too simple, too short, too sweet to bother with suffering - even suffering for the sake of others? Of compassion for their struggle?

Would it be after democracy turns around? If it does? Would we have another Obama, another Bernie, another somebody who represented something hopeful. An effective re-organization of the people. But lulled into the joy of victory and blue flags and belief that things are normal? That a government who is once again capable of delivering thoughtful, inspiring speeches equates to safety? That trust can ever be earned back, when vigilance is the price we pay for never letting our people - the humanity of us all - be destroyed? Would it be if there were leaps and bounds of liberal goodwill memorializing every hero in history, promising to make good on every wish, imbibing our textbooks once again with the value of diversity? Would it be if the Constitution was somehow more "protected"? Would it be if policing measures were just slightly better? Would it be when wages went up just a bit? Would it be when people of color and trans people and queer people are written into the Constitution? Would it be when we have Cabinet members who are themselves trans and queer people of color? When the relief feels so utterly strong that there is a flinch at the rememberance of that which my privilege never had me bear - and each symbolic gesture feels like...enough? That I can breathe again? That I forget others have never had to stop holding their breath, rationing out their oxygen? Lest they be held on the streets with a knee to their back. What if the uniformed looked like me? Sounded like me, talked like me?

Would it be in my old age when the joy of seeing kids playing together who look different or speak different languages, parents who wear different religious garb, find themselves giggling together, and I want so badly to feel like their dream is safe, and to consider that it's not would corrupt that joyful moment, so I choose to believe otherwise?

I didn't choose to come here and be born.

I'm glad I am.

I didn't choose a life raised and held by the Mormon Church. I didn't choose to be ignorant of all that it was.

I didn't choose the thought-stopping, the information control, the shame cycles, the distrust of my body, the fear in authority, the judgmental superiority of my belief.

But wrong isn't always chosen. What's chosen is doing nothing. Resisting conscience. Dehumanizing. Tolerating that which shouldn't be. Staying comfortable. Staying within a way that gives you permission, that sees in you what brokenness you are but how special it is, that tells you that this is simply the medicine, drink from that bitter cup and be happy.

I hope that we are more than the voices in our head, but maybe we are what listens.

All I hear sometimes is: I was Mormon, I was Mormon, I was Mormon.

How I wish there was more beyond "I'll never be again."

Guys !!! I am back! First of all, I hope all of y’all (your friends, family, pets! too) are doing alright. Keep safe! Wash your hands! Don’t go out if not necessary! Kisses! Kisses! Kisses! Alright, alright, let’s do this shall we? Same shit applies. [Here is Part 1 & 2 btw ]

The themes of the stories on this list varies, I’m either into something heart-warming, fluffy, domestic that sort of stuff or into some really really heavy and dark messed up ones. (READ THE TAGS) It always depends on the mood am I right? *wink wink*

It’s always gonna be smutty though lol

As long as it’s tastefully written, whatever kinky shit, I can be into it, I don’t judge the writer (they give us free content y’all, who are we to judge??) With that being said if I add something straight up messed up here now/or in the future, don’t come for meh, just mind the tags of the fic, for your own discretion if anything.

this list should be Wade Wilson/Peter Parker - Spiderman/Deadpool pairing only. I kinda like my babies greedy/possessive for/of each other.

READ THE TAGS.

I don’t care who tops or bottoms. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Summaries are taken directly from the fanfic’s summary.

Read the tags first!

Deluge (this is such a good boi, this fic is a good boy!) Weapon X chose Wade Wilson because of several factors in his life. He was a preternatural. He had extraordinary abilities that could be expanded upon. The cancer just made him desperate enough to agree to whatever they wanted to do with him.They didn't just turn him immortal. They destroyed his very soul, tearing him apart and shaping him into something new and never seen before. They took everything he had been and left him with ashes and bones. Soulless.He killed his creators and went on with his life.Then he met Spider-Man.Things started to change.Something inside him, something that had come out of the ashes and was a nightmarish, terrible thing, sat up and took notice. An intense, single-minded notice.

The Perks of Working Third Shift An AU in which Wade is wandering the globe and ends up in NYC where he meets the absolute most perfect man he's ever seen who's working third shift at a quick mart. Even better, the man seems happy to flirt back. Wade makes it his mission to score a date.Peter stopped dating a long time ago, but Wade's flirtations, energetic attitude, and hilarious comments make it hard for Peter not to enjoy the attention. But will all of that be ruined if Wade finds out his secret?

Better Like This (Listen, NotEvenCloseToStraight’s Spideypool works are amazing, read all of em, honestly just check out ALL the works of the writers on my list because if I list everything, this is gonna be a long ass list) No one knows Spider-Man is an Omega. Not the newspapers, not the NYPD, and certainly not the overly loud, definitely obnoxious, sort-of-a-good-guy, completely Alpha, Deadpool. And Peter would like it to stay that way. But when he drops into an unexpected heat, Deadpool is the only person he can call to help, and how quickly the Alpha switches from shouting dirty innuendos to whispering comforting things really throws Peter for a loop. After sharing a heat, Peter is convinced that Wade is his Alpha, and is ready to take him as his mate, but Wade rejects him. Wade knows that a man like him wouldn’t make anyone a good mate, much less a perfect, pretty Omega like Peter. So he says no, pushes the Omega away and unable to even work together anymore, they go their separate ways. Peter is devastated, heartbroken, seeking comfort in the arms of another Alpha, and all Wade can do is watch from a distance, and keep telling himself that he is doing the right thing, sparing Peter a life of disappointment and pain. Peter deserves better than him as a Mate, and one day Peter will understand. It’s Better This Way. But is it really?(Peter is Andrew Garfield)

Use Me Peter wants to help Wade. Wants to make him feel beautiful, wants to make him feel wanted... Wants to put out the fire in his own gut whenever he sees the merc for what he really is. He does.

Double Mint Gum Wade decides that only one of his fine-ass self just isn't enough

Spider Spidey (SPIDERY SPIDEY!)

Bleed the Water Red Peter and Deadpool are held captive by a super-villain that has an inclination for torture. After she boasts her untarnished record at never having hurt a child or teenager, Peter is forced to break the truth to both her and Deadpool.“Did you know I have a perfect record?” The villain collects a rusted pocket knife, tracing it up Peter’s arm, over his shoulders, down to his collarbone, as though considering where to cut. Peter focuses on controlling his breathing, fear twisting awfully in his belly. “You may look down on me, Mr. Spider-Man, but for all the righteous suffering I inflict, I’ve never hurt a child. Not once.”“Y'know, I don’t think you do,” Peter blurts. At his words, Deadpool's stare intensifies. “Have a perfect, non-child harming record, that is.”

Don’t Keep Me Waiting Peter's 90% sure Wade likes him. Or at least he was sure. When you almost jerk off in front of the friend you're definitely not pathetically pining for and they never mention it again, it makes you doubt yourself. Peter knows he should probably just ask what the fuck is going on, but where's the angsty fun in that?

Sometimes When We Touch Peter answers a Craigslist ad for someone who is willing to pay for some unspecified physical contact/sex because he's just that broke. He's surprised to find out Wade Wilson is the one who posted the ad, but thinks he can still manage just fine even when the man explains he'd like him to wear a special costume for the occasion. Of course things become a little more complicated when Wade reveals the outfit he's chosen: a shockingly accurate Spider-Man suit

Sunflower 26 and standing at the head of Parker Industries, Peter feels young in every way. He doesn't know himself, he lacks a lot of experience, and he's struggling to get a grip on what he thinks of the merc with the mouth, an absolute force who has starting pushing his desires in a direction that terrifies him.He desperately tries to come to terms with sexuality, even when it means dragging Wade flat on his face.Takes place after the dance scene in Spider-man/Deadpool, with important plot details omitted. Follows these two through extreme character growth.

Two Thirds of a Whole (I honestly felt weird about this one, but eh, maybe someone who’s into it would appreciate it) Peter Parker and Wade Wilson, finding Vanessa dead and having never met, assume the second body is their other soulmate. When they meet in a market ten years later, they both have a chance they never thought they would get again-- a chance at love.But can they find a way to be happy as two thirds of a whole?

Holding Back The thing about not being able to die is that it makes everything so dreadfully boring. Seriously, immortality's a bitch. So, you gotta keep things interesting. How else are you supposed to get through the day without going insane? Well, more insane.Wade wants to be a hero, but fighting bad guys isn't enough to keep things interesting. Wooing Spider-Man might help, though. And exploring his kinks definitely will. Of course, he never thought anything would come of either of these things. Boy, was he wrong!

Missed You (Imagine me covering me shyly covering my face for this ehehe) “Wade,” Peter whines, pulling off Wade’s mask and catching his lips in a deep kiss. All he can smell is leather and sweat and gunpowder, and he’s already embarrassingly hard. Wade comes home from a mission. Peter missed him. A lot.

Big Peter can't stop looking at and thinking about Wade's great big arms and shoulders and hands and back. He's fine. (He's not fine.)

Slip of the Tongue Sometimes Peter can forget how big Wade is, how much presence he has. Right now is not the time. His heart rabbits in his chest as he swallows, looking up. There’s always something there when Wade’s looking at him, something predatory, that makes Peter nervous and wanting, shivering hot all over.

Wade The Cat “Aw don’t be afraid little buddy, it’s okay, he’s gone”Wade almost cringes at how someone is talking to him, what the hell?! He’s not a defenseless animal. Wait. No, yeah, he is.Wade looks a little alarmed, stepping back as the man crouches next to him, smiling sympathetically “It’s okay, I won’t hurt you. You okay?”Wade holds his breath, gives an once over at the guy, beautiful chestnut eyes, the adorable smile, the red face probably resulting from the cold and the brown humid hair stuck to his forehead as he holds his umbrella for both of them and yep, ladies and gentlemen if he wasn’t before, Wade is right now a defenseless animal because “Meow” Wade says wiggling what should be eyebrows “Honey, I’d let you take care of me all night long” Wade purrs.

Gonzo Journalist (It belongs to a series “We fell in love in October) A young photographer working for The Daily Bugle hears about the tragic fate of an ex-soldier and decides to write an article about his cause to help him out. Maybe more than in one way.

The Man in the Mask When Wade is unceremoniously dropped off into the custody of one Dr. Parker, he assumes the man has only the worst possible intentions for one of the world's last remaining mutants. But it turns out, the universe still holds plenty of surprises for them both.

You Wear My Name Over Your Heart Like It’s Invisible "Why don’t you ever let me see it? If you have the name already, why can’t you tell me whose it is? I thought we were best friends."Everyone gets their Name when they turn twenty-one. It isn’t their own name either. It’s the name of their Soulmate. When Wade Wilson wakes on his twenty-first birthday, he looks down at his chest and sees Peter Benjamin Parker. He stares for a moment then shrugs, gets dressed, and doesn’t think about it for another six weeks.

Parachute, Please Peter unexpectedly goes into heat after an Avengers mission, which could have been fine, but the ride back is 2 hours and he's stuck on a plane with his closest friends and family.At least there's one person he can call at times like these for relief. And in comes Wade.

Peter Parker’s Home for the Wayward Villain A really long redemption story.

And Words Are Futile Devices Peter doesn’t think he’s lonely. He’s too busy to be lonely. He’s twenty-two, working on his PhD and holding down a shitty job at the Daily Bugle, not to mention his nightly extra-curricular activities. He’s too busy for friends, and he’s certainly too busy for romantic interests. And yet, shockingly, apparently everyone in his life thinks he needs to stop being an anti-social recluse and get laid.So Peter enters the wide, wonderful world of online dating. He doesn’t expect to find his soul mate, or even a friend, and he’s definitely not looking for hook ups. He doesn’t know what he’s looking for, really, until one Wade W. Wilson catches his eye and captures his heart with risqué dog pics and a concerning obsession with cannibalistic serial killers.This is a love story. A sweet, inevitable journey towards each other. There is humor, and melancholy, and a touch of both gravitas and levity to the weeks that trickle by. But really it’s just an account of the slow, magnetic movement of Peter towards Wade, and Wade towards Peter.

Strays Wade finds Spider-Man unconscious on a roof top. Score!Or: Spider-Man has lost his memories, some of his vocabulary, and all of his social conditioning. Wade is losing his mind.

The Inverse Deadpool doesn't have to try very hard to hide his second gender anymore because ever since Weapon X, no one in their right mind would ever believe that Wade Wilson was an omega. It doesn't matter anyway, because Wade knows no Alpha would keep a male omega. No alpha WANTS one, much less one that's as scarred and unstable as he is. Apparently, Spiderman was born to break every rule Wade has ever known.

The Body Remembers When the Mind Forgets When people need a mate in their life, it isn't usually because they've forgotten they already have one.

Half Your Age (Plus Seven) In which Deadpool has oddly specific and frustrating morals, Spider-Man has excellent friends, his lab partner has an opening for a bassist, Johnny Storm has the warmest feet, and everyone has had enough of hearing Peter talk about Wade Wilson (except Aunt May: she’s always glad to hear he’s back in town).

A Second Decade of Movies

Ten years ago on Facebook, I compiled a list of every movie I watched, in order, from the first decade of the network’s existence. Now, here’s part two, covering the years 2010-2019. There are 754 titles below, though some are repeat viewings. The movie I watched the most? Harold Lloyd in “The Freshman.” My favorite movie from the last decade? “The Tree of Life.”

But I began the 2010s with James Cameron’s mega-hit “Avatar.” I’ll go on record saying the movie is still enjoyable ten years later, as I watched it again in 2019 with my kids to prep for visiting the World of Pandora at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But--I also agree with those who say there’s little remembered from the film in the culture today. Can you name the stars? Recount the plot in detail? Mostly what we remember from the film is the spectacle of it all, game-changing when it was released in 2009.

At any rate, enjoy the list below! If a title is hotlinked, it will take you to an essay, interview, or related coverage on the film by yours truly.

Why Thunderbird Soars Over Rapterra

Two coasters. One concept. And a flight experience unlike any other. As wing coasters continue to evolve, two launched entries from Bolliger & Mabillard are leading the charge: Thunderbird at Holiday World and the brand-new Rapterra at Kings Dominion. Both promise flight. Both deliver thrills. But only one truly captures the feeling of raw, relentless power while weaving storytelling into every twist and roll.

Rapterra, which debuted in 2025, may hold the records—it’s the world’s tallest and longest launched wing coaster—but Thunderbird, which opened a decade earlier in 2015, delivers something numbers can’t quite capture: heart.

From the moment you’re catapulted out of the barn on Thunderbird, you’re pulled into a ride that feels alive. The launch is fast and furious, propelling riders from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Unlike Rapterra, which favors grand views and sweeping curves, Thunderbird dives into the woods with a layout that hugs the terrain and squeezes every ounce of thrill out of its compact footprint. Inversions come quickly—an Immelmann, zero-g roll, barrel roll, and vertical loop—and each one flows seamlessly into the next, barely giving riders time to breathe.

By comparison, Rapterra takes a more scenic approach. After a powerful launch to 65 mph, it rises into an elevated wingover and glides over Kings Dominion’s Jungle X-pedition area. Its elements—a dive loop, corkscrew, and heartline “raptor roll”—are smooth and stylish, but less forceful. The layout is graceful, expansive, and, at times, relaxed. You soar, but you rarely feel threatened.

That sense of danger is what makes Thunderbird unforgettable. It’s not just about speed or airtime—it’s about proximity. The train races just feet above the ground, brushes past trees, and rips through barns in near-miss moments that jolt riders with adrenaline. Sitting on the left wing, you feel like you could reach out and touch the scenery—and that’s part of the magic.

While Rapterra has the edge in raw size, Thunderbird wins in design execution. Every moment is purposeful. Every element has bite. There are no filler sections, no soft transitions. Just a tight, intense layout that refuses to let up.

Even the theming supports these differences. Rapterra offers a detailed, immersive queue that puts you in the middle of an archaeological dig at the base of Mt. Inferna—a clever tribute to the long-gone Volcano: The Blast Coaster. The backstory is well-crafted, and the visuals are impressive. But once you board the train, that storytelling fades away. The ride itself, though thrilling, doesn’t build on the narrative it sets up in the queue.

Thunderbird opts for a simpler, yet more cohesive approach. Its legend of a mythical bird guiding the Mayflower is reflected not just in signage and station design, but in the ride experience itself. The barns, the wooded path, the soundtrack—it all works together to create a seamless journey. You don’t just ride Thunderbird. You fly with it.

The differences between these two rides are amplified by their surroundings. Kings Dominion, part of the Six Flags portfolio, is a large, thrill-heavy park with a broad collection of coasters competing for attention. Rapterra is a strong addition, but it’s one of many headliners.

Holiday World, on the other hand, is a family-owned park that prizes hospitality, charm, and storytelling. Thunderbird is a perfect complement to its world-renowned wooden trio: The Voyage, The Legend, and The Raven. Within that context, Thunderbird isn’t just a ride—it’s a statement.

That’s why, despite the record-breaking stats and sleek design of Rapterra, Thunderbird still flies higher for me. It’s the ride I find myself thinking about long after I’ve stepped off. It’s the one that leaves me breathless, wanting more. It doesn’t just offer thrills—it offers a complete, cohesive experience from launch to brake run.

In the debate over which wing coaster reigns supreme, both rides have their place. But when I’m chasing the perfect flight, I’ll head back to Indiana every time.

After all, stats may impress—but it’s the ride that stays with you. And Thunderbird? That one stays with me.
