I like how Picard can force the rest of the senior staff to wear their goofy sequined Space tuxedos to meet diplomats, while he just wears that cool suede jacket that amounts to a Starfleet Adidas track jacket.
Also the diplomats are dressed like this:
"SLATE-COLORED COTTON BODY STOCKINGS ARE WHAT THESE PEOPLE CONSIDER FORMAL WEAR!"
Don't let them join the Federation. Troi introduces one of them to sugar and he loses his goddamn mind. They emerge as fully-formed awkward adults from some kind of hive-navel, probably wearing these clothes. They are rude and demanding and weird with children.
It is inappropriate to call them Space Mormons, so I will totally not do that.
The boring, lazy choice would be to have the Space Mormons be creepy, smiling pod people whose nice exterior hides a fucked-up secret. I get why people see us this way and it’s even hard for me to steer my own Mormon-futurist vision away from it, because that image of “utopian religious space colony made up of pod people and fucked-up secrets” is so pervasive. It’s lazy!! It’s boring!! It’s offensive in its sloppy attempts to be edgy!!

the look on jim's face at the precise moment that he realized that his colleagues were going to use a holy mormon ship as a "battering ram"

- Zarahemla
- Millennium
- Idumea
- Zion (boring, always used creepily)
- The Place (as in “This Is”)
- The Valley
- Bountiful
- The Promised Land
- Consecration
- ???
Whoops I started writing the beginnings of the Space Mormons story yesterday and the protagonist, who still doesn’t even have a name, is already a mouthpiece for my feelings of inadequacy and the angst I felt applying to colleges and jobs and watching my peers effortlessly getting accepted to their dream schools/careers

I’m so so sorry. I’m not sure I’ll ever live this down. But you did say Space Mormons ...
