Holy, I haven’t been to church in years, so I don’t know much about what happens after you turn 18, but I know about the Missionaries, for two whole years, I had no contact nor had any family really say how my cousin was doing during his mission.
From ages 3-11 your in Primary, once 12-18 you are separated into Young Men’s or Young Woman’s, then once 18 you’re put into the Aaronic priesthood if male and the Relief Society if female. There was also Seminary, from ages 14-18 where you got up at the crack of dawn every weekday during the school year to go to a church or seminary building, a religious educational program.
There’s also Baptism, which happens when you’re 8, you’re dressed in white and you and a man who has the priesthood, recites a prayer to the T, and then you are submerged completely in water (limbs, hair and clothing) to receive the Holy Ghost, (some people I had known said they say they felt the Holy Ghost), if there are any mistakes in the prayer or your not completely submerged, the baptism is repeated till preformed correctly. In addition to the baptizer, two other members witness the baptism to ensure that it is performed properly. And you get your first bible. (Or at least that happened with my siblings and I.) There’s also baptism for the dead, where a living person receives the rite on behalf of a deceased person, who weren’t baptized in life.
mormon kids under the age of 18 being told their church is a cult
mormons 18-24 after they go through their endowment ceremony and receive their new name and secret clothing and learn the secret handshakes and passwords and realize everyone around them has been secretly doing this the whole time and now theyre going to be sent away from their family for 2 years where they will literally not be allowed to be alone for 1 second of the day except to go to the bathroom and they have no idea how to get out of what they just got into

So over on AO3 I’ve finally posted my first fanfic, it’s a rewrite of Ninjago. I wanted to add and edit somethings I didn’t feel like it fit and patch up some plot hole's.
Unkar, The Unfortunate, seeing ROTT end.
I don’t know how anyone could think that is subtext.
I need the gay beronica subtext please, it’s for science. The science of entertainment.
Yes! Second piece of art I’ve seen where Michael has a messed up jaw! At most, I see depictions of the Glasgow smile but nothing about the jaw.
FNAF stuff again, nothing better to do lol. Can’t wait for the movie, please be really focused on the missing children’s incident and their lives I’m begging lol
Ruin was pretty great, FNAF fans are eating good
So I had mentioned that in my post NinjagoUA about adding “more dark aspects” but Ninjago has a lot of dark aspects, I’d just really have to expand on them. I have even compiled a list of some of these dark aspects. Like TannerFishies had said in his video the other day that the Sons Of Garmadon and Hunted had definitely upped the maturity for the show.
Here’s the list of some of the dark aspects I get to work with.
- Kidnapping
- Child Endangerment
- Child Abandonment
- Neglect
- Cannabilism
- Suicide pact
- Attempted suicide
- Imprisonments
- War
- War crimes
- Torture
- Genocide
- Regicide
- PTSD
- Possession
- Slavery
- Cultists
- Manipulation
- Child abuse
- Attempted filicide
- Gang violence
- Execution
- Racism
- Race war
Just because it’s a kids show doesn’t mean it’s just for kids. There is plenty of kid shows that have dark aspects similar to the ones I’ve listed. Search some of these aspects that show up in kids shows and you’ll come across a lot.
Or go to either PhantomStrider or blameitonjorge’s channels on YouTube and take a look at one of their many videos on children’s shows.

This is fanart I did for NinjagoGSD’s fic on Ao3; Murderer, Monster, Villian. It has quickly became one of if not my favourite fanfic I have ever read.
The fanfic is pretty dark but the prologue is the worst that it gets. It's a really good fic and if graphic depictions of torture don’t deter you, I suggest giving it a read.
This is also a cover for the Spotify Playlist I made for this fanfic as well.
I’ve seen this on Pinterest, and now I have come across the actual post!

Techno saying “Can’t believe that someone would try to kill other people, why I would never, alright.” Is the equivalent to when Carl from Llamas With Hats said “I do not kill people, that is, that is my least favourite thing to do.”
