When all motivation is lost

I am not surprised at how Reckless Ben has been treated by the authorities there, and as awful as it is I’m fucking glad more people are becoming aware of how shitty and corrupt the cops are in Utah. But I wish people would understand that shit like this isn’t the extent of it, and by far isn’t the worse show of it.

The amount of victims of abuse known—and unknown—they’ve failed is immeasurable. So please if the Reckless Ben stuff has made you more aware of Utah’s corruption and you are interested in learning how deep this goes in going to list some easily accessible place to start learning. But also if you aren’t interested in it that’s totally fine. Just if you ever have the chance to educate people please do.

So if you want to learn how deep this goes I recommend watching/listening to:

First, probably the most entry level is the docuseries: keep sweet; pray and obey which is about Rulon’s death and Warren’s subsequent claim to prophethood. It covers multiple different survivors who chronicle their story and how they escaped and it is impactful and the editing is done so effectively you feel as if you were dropped into their shoes. I could go on and on about it but I won’t. Watch with caution.

The former I mentioned certainly features police corruption but this is one the most transparent in my opinion which is trust me; the false prophet. The fact that two civilians had to do all of the work to protects these women and children truly fucking disgusts me and every single cop in that police department should be fired. They knew, and did nothing. Again, watch with caution.

If you prefer some humor injected into something so dark I recommend The Cult Podcast’s coverage of the FLDS and Utah in general. You have a lot to choose from.

If you prefer to hear stories from the survivors then Cults to consciousness is a good one, they interview many survivors of cult/high control groups. But specifically for Mormon and FLDS I recommend Lyle Jeffs, Warren’s son, as one of his stories is about how cops failed him, and especially his sisters. Nomz’s interview is a good one. But for corruption Christine’s is a good one as she is the central figure in trust me; the false prophet.

Finally I recommend Alyssa Grenfell who is a former mainstream LDS Mormon. She also has covered the bricks and minifigs situation so in hindsight she should have been at the top of the list since she’s more of entry point into this but whatever.

it would be so awesome

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs

I need these!

Chris Fleming & Matthew Rhys

it honestly doesn't bug me enough to filter it out on ao3, and also every explicit grace/rocky fic that i scroll past always has THE most insane set up and it's funny every time, like am i supposed to just ignore when someone is cooking a fine ass meal just cuz i wouldn't personally make it for myself??

there are people doing fucking MATH and graduate level chemistry in order to justify why ryan gosling should be physically capable of fucking his alien rock bestie and it's incredible
