Ask me about that time I signed up a classmate I disliked to receive a free mormon bible in the mail every 2 weeks

migratoryairflapflap

Why is this so great

biggest-gaudiest-patronuses

because

  1. it wasted mormon church money
  2. the classmate was hella confused and had no way of figuring out what the hell was going on
  3. and no way of stopping the mormon bible influx
  4. this was in boarding school. the mailroom was a common area. so i got to watch, repeatedly for months, the growing look of concern on my high school classmate’s face as they unwrapped yet another mormon bible 
  5. they never found out. i never told anyone. it’s been 10 years

UPDATE: i shared my address w/ my followers awhile back.

guess what arrived in the fucking mail

I mean while this is technically possible, the church doesn’t send them in the mail, two missionaries show up and hand deliver it and 1) the missionaries aren’t supposed to go to schools and 2) if a missionary gets turned away from the same place multiple times (especially if it’s just a requested Book of Mormon) they aren’t going to keep coming back soooo

but how great would it have been if I managed to send a classmate 2 entire mormon missionaries

Let me start by saying I usually don’t mind Mormons, only the two missionaries that keep stalking me.

I guess changes of address count a a reset button. I’m hunted down every time I move, almost like they chipped me at some point. It’s the same two guys, I stopped answering the door. They now slide the pamphlets under the kitchen door while the other attempts to make eye contact through the window. They left me two copies of the BOM, and a very polite letter asking me to stop being a gay pagan, during the most recent visit.

Crowley blinked as a crown of woven flowers was placed on his head. A few of the red and yellow petals broke free, drifting down to his lap and he looked up at a grinning Aziraphale. The sun hadn’t set in twenty four hours and laughter echoed across the water, bouncing back and forth until it had grown to scale even the mountains.

“Happy midsummer,” the Angel said, sitting down beside him.

Reaching up, Crowley brushed his fingers along the stems and smiled. “Happy midsummer,” he said.

not-batman458 asked:

Tennessee when they built the fake Parthenon (its in Nashville). They saw the real one so...

smiling-like-a-snake answered:

“Inaccurate,” Crowley said, not looking up from the little travel brochure he’d nicked from the airport. “Completely inaccurate. Absolutely ridiculous.”

“I think it’s quite,” Aziraphale paused, but didn’t stop smiling. “Quaint.”

Crowley lowered the paper. “Quaint?”

“Yes,” Aziraphale said with a single, pleased nod. “Quite quaint.”

Crowley glanced at the building and back at the angel. The muscles in his jaw flexed and he took a deep breath in through his nose.

“WHAT?”

Neilman apologising for the dodgy jokes in Good Omens (the book) and acknowledging that there are some Bad Things (esp. pertaining to LGBT people - he and Terry obvs didn't mean them to be offensive but mmmm there are some issues) AND recognising that these things needed to be changed in the TV adaption is very good and sexy and I appreciate it

This! This is important. I don’t dismiss the book based on the problematic aspects — it’s my favorite book, after all — but I don’t necessarily excuse it. It’s a book that’s a product of its time, and in the late 80’s, those problematic aspects were considered acceptable. And while I was three years old when the book came out and thus had little knowledge of world issues, I have to assume that those problematic aspects were probably progressive for the time, considering I remember so much of the rest of the 90’s.

You couldn’t get away with it these days. Or you could, I guess. I read a similar-ish duology by an American author that was written in the 21st century that had a lot of those same problematic elements (if far less pronounced because it’s the 21st century) and... yeah, so much cringe. I wanted to like it but just couldn’t. And yes, I hold that duology to a higher standard because the author should have known better.

But Gaiman recognizes that there are aspects of the book that didn’t age well. He’s apologized. He updated the miniseries accordingly. And that’s the important part. There are books being written today that are progressive by our standards, but wait a couple of decades and see what happens. We shouldn’t condemn the authors for it in the future for it — unless they don’t acknowledge and apologize.

Tl;dr - Context is important when it comes to books written literally decades ago. And the important part is that at least one of the authors (I bet Terry would too, if he hadn’t already) has apologized for it. ❤️

With all those things being very true, the book is an absolute joy to read and has very positive messages. It’s fantastic to see an author aknowledging that things needed to change in their work and act accordingly when given the occasion, but that doesn’t mean the book originally didn’t have a lot of qualities to begin with.

I would even say that, considering that the book focuses more on Aziraphale and Crowley’s relatinship with the Earth than with each other, it makes the book a complementary work to the series that gives a different light to their behaviour and therefore a different message about them. And it’s a very interesting one.

And the actually scanned version! :D That took a while till I found the time to drop it at the copyshop~! <3 But professional scanning is just so much better than a photo done with an old phone~!


Besides that, I have to point out that art on wood is the ideal combination of beauty and clobbering device~. <3 Home decor for self defense~!
