Lolol sometimes it’s so funny reading peoples posts about “Mormon” theology that is based on Exmo stories, tradition/culture but not doctrine, and like random statements by some church leader 200 years ago that was not put into doctrine/canonized, or that he was corrected/reprimanded on, and all of us look back on like “well that guy was racist/sexist. Anyways moving on…” like tbh it just makes me laugh. Like I know our theology is a bit different than mainstream Christianity but y’all don’t need to make it sound like we are out here truly believing half the stuff you say about us.

Overheard at the BAU

JJ, giving a press conference: "On a sidenote, to the person that decided to drive past my house and honk at 3 am, fuck you!"

Hotch, trying to do damage control: "She doesn't mean that!"

Emily, stepping up: "Seriously, whatever our unsub did, your fate will be much worse!"

Emily, grumpy: "waking us up at 3. Who raised you?"

Hotch, looking at the reporters: "She means that... so good luck."

this twitter thing is a circus, we can make lots of hellsite jokes, but also we're watching the world's richest man buy a communication platform used among other things by governments, scientists, and organizations to communicate with the public and each other (mostly the latter, governments should not be doing business with each other on twitter) and destroy it because nobody can tell him no, and that should terrify you.

i am just imagining the future discourse that comes from the culture clash between all the different relations of humans vs. dragons.

like okay. the classical British/European mode is pretty much universally disparaged and disregarded at this point, and For Good Reason. like you've still god the far right groups that believe that Dragons are Inferior Beasts but they're the same as any extremist racist idealogy.

a lot spicier is debates around whether it's good to have a "captain" relationship with your dragon. lots of "can it be reclaimed" conversations.

flip that stuff on the head with the Inca and any similar cultures that had some mode of "the humans belong to the dragons". imagine the entire Crucible of Gold subplot where Laurence and co wrestle with whether or not it's slavery, with all the relevant nuances, but also Twitter exists.

and then there's the Tswana. where dragons are not just culturally humans, but culturally Literally Specific Reincarnated Humans. i don't even want to imagine what debates on that topic look like.
