Project 2025 makes it very possible that we could lose AO3. It features same sex relationships and smut and could be something that the new administration sees as an enemy. It’s possible that it would simply be banned in the US and other countries can still use it, but since I’m pretty sure it’s an American website the whole thing might just be destroyed instead. So everyone might lose it.

Here’s what we should all do just in case.

1. Download your favorite works as a PDF and back them up on multiple devices so you don’t lose them.

2. If you are a writer, try to publish your works on multiple different platforms like fanfiction.net and wattpad. I’m a Doctor Who writer so I know about whofic, but do research on your fandom to see if there’s fandom specific sites available.

Edit: I want to be extra clear that readers should download works that aren’t about same sex love or don’t have smut too. I think it goes without saying but I want to be very clear that the Trump administration is more likely to ban or delete the whole archive than it is to sort through what content it deems “appropriate”.

I'm going to assume by now that what I saw was fake but I'd like to talk about it anyway. DISCLAIMER!!!! I'm sure what I saw was fake. Okay, so what did I see? I popped on my facebook earlier and saw an article (I think) claiming that the characters from the Acolyte would return for a new prequal. I had to read it twice and was in such disbelief that I just closed out and put the phone down. I tried to look for it again but by then, the page had reloaded and the article, or whatever it was, was lost to the recesses of facebook. I tried looking for it again and to see if another source had anything to say on the matter. Both came up empty. I tried going to google and didn't see anything-not with the term I searched anyway. I guess I expected any news about the show to spread just like the news of the cancellation did. Then I though about what the headline itself said "The characters of the Acolyte were coming back for a new prequal" what could that mean? which characters? Why do something with previous characters if the story in which they belong is not going to continue? I wondered if maybe it would be a show about Qimir's back story. but again, whey learn his past if the character has no future. Furthermore, it would be a shame to utilize his character and just kick Osha/ Amandla Stenberg to the curb. Especially when Manny Jacinto has said he could not have done what he did without Amandla. I don't know. I have have hope that something might yet happen but in the mean time, be wary of fake articles people.

I was rewatching The Acolyte ep 8 and then jumped back to ep 4 and noticed these two times Qimir speaks to Osha and Mae are so similar.

Qimir tells the twins about the other and then walks away.

Osha and Mae linger and ponder what he says. Mae has a yearning spirit about her, surprised and alarmed about Osha’s relationship to Sol. Osha is unsure, wondering why Mae would go so easily.

I love this because 1) the way Manny utilizes his vocal range to portray his own character “twins” is so excellent. And 2) Amandla shows these twins in almost the exact same situation in ep 4 and 8 but the portrayal is still distinct. They’re similar but not the same. Qimir affirms that.

MIRRORS!!!

I love this show.

Good night and pleasant dreams everyone.
