So Trump Won, Now What?
I get it, we’re all worried. I am too. Above all else on this list, keep yourself safe. Don’t do anything stupid, especially without a plan.
Find Ways to Cope
With the election results, it’s understandable to be afraid. Do whatever you need to (within reasonable amounts. please do not overdose) to comfort yourself.
Take off of school / work if possible to rest. If you don’t have money saved up to be able to take a day off, that’s completely understandable. If you can’t take a day off school for whatever reason (like me. I’m writing this while being driven to school) then that’s okay as well.
Eat comfort foods. You can take a cheat day if you’re on a diet today, you deserve it.
Do things that help you calm down. Some things can include: drawing, crafts, listening to music (punk playlist I helped create here if that might help), knitting, etc. Whatever it is, do it.
Cry. It’s understandable to want to cry after this. I felt like crying too.
Prepare For the Worst
I hate to say it, but it’s likely that shits going to hit the fan once Trump hits office. Here’s some ideas on what to do.
Preserve any media that MAGA might try and get rid of. For me that’s going to be writing things online down into a notebook and preserving punk songs (likely onto a cassette tape just so I have it tangibly), for Janet next door that might be pirating. Buying any books that might get destroyed is a good idea as well, so that way it still exists, despite censorship.
Stock up on physical items that may end up being destroyed / not being sold anymore. Books are a good idea to have since book censorship has existed as long as dictatorship has. Another idea is over the counter birth control since it likely won’t be allowed to be sold anymore. If anyone has any more ideas, put them in the reblogs / comments.
Stock up on money. I have a secret stash that has about $200 in physical dollars hidden in it, and that’s just counting dollars.
Build Community
This goes hand-in-hand with prepare for the worst, but I felt like it deserved its own section.
Make a garden. It may be a bit late to do that right now due to it being winter in the U.S., but you can always prepare for one. Food prices will likely go up, so it’s good to have plans for free food.
I’m not sure what to title this bullet point, but with prices for everything likely going to go up, it’s great if there’s people who can provide things like clothes or anything else one might need.
Even without any of the other two things, having community in general is good. Even if that’s just a group of friends who you sit with at the lunch table and talk with, it’s still a community. If you aren’t able to make one in real life for whatever reason, then make one online.
If anyone has anything at all to add on then please put it in the reblogs (preferred) or comments. I’m not usually one to ask for reblogs, but I’d argue that this is really important and needs to be shared. Remember that your existence is resistance and that it’s always okay to punch a Nazi.
@our-trans-punk-experience @liberalsarecool
#Politics#i spent the full 30 minute car ride to school writing this. it was worth it.#Election#its always okay to punch nazis

Why you should watch 乘风破浪 and 披荆斩棘 to learn Chinese
What are these shows?
Both 披荆斩棘 and 乘风破浪 follow the same basic format: 30+ celebrity contestants, mostly actors and singers ages 30+, form teams and compete in singing and dancing over several rounds. Viewers vote on their favorite performances and contestants, and 1-3 contestants are eliminated each round. The top contestants form a temporary "group" and appear on a follow-up reality show.
youtube
Why you should watch
1. Exposure to different accents
Contestants come from all over the Chinese-speaking world: Dongbei, Sichuan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and even Malaysia. I can personally say that watching these shows has vastly improved my ability to understand the Hong Kong Mandarin accent.
2. Pop culture knowledge
Because the contestants are celebrities, you'll be introduced to dozens of famous actors, singers, etc. Also, you'll hear the many iconic songs that they cover. I've impressed several native speakers with my with knowledge of pop culture and music.
youtube
3. Branch out to new media
These shows serve as a gateway to Chinese music, movies, and TV. if you really like the contestants who are actors, you can check out their shows and movies. If you enjoy a certain song or like a contestant who's a singer, you can explore more music.
4. Casual and formal registers
You’ll get to hear casual, unscripted speech while watching the behind-the-scenes and rehearsal clips. But you’ll also get to hear more formal speech when they’re announcing rules and also from the MC who hosts the actual live performances.
youtube
5. Incredible talent
Also, you should watch for the awesome performances and general fun. I love seeing the contestants' friendships, and I’m also obsessed with the amazing sets. There are some incredibly talented performers on these shows, and I love getting to see them shine.
Where to watch
All seasons are free to watch on YouTube! Sometimes clips may be muted or missing, probably due to YouTube's restrictions. But the vast, vast majority is available, and when a clip is missing, you can usually do a separate search and find it. I also pay for a Mango TV subscription, which is $1.99 USD/month.

To help you get started, below is a YouTube playlist of my some of my favorite performances (5 per season, except for the most recent season of each). Cause why not! Also, below the cut I'll put more details along with direct links to my favorite performances.
And if you're a fellow fan emotionally preparing for the 披荆斩棘4 finale 🥲, feel free to message me and commiserate!

Sisters Who Make Waves
Chinese title: 乘风破浪的姐姐 (S1-2) / 乘风破浪 (S3) / 乘风 (S4-5) English title: Sisters Who Make Waves (S1-3) / Ride the Wind (S4-5) *I call it Sisters for short
This series is the original, having started in 2020. The focus was on female empowerment, particularly of women 30+. A lot of the celebrities had slowed down in their careers, and the show served as their reintroduction to audiences. While female empowerment is still a theme today, I do feel it has lessened in prominence.
Season 1
The original, iconic season. You can tell they had a limited budget and not a ton of space, but it doesn't detract at all thanks to the incredible talent and energy of the contestants. And they had no idea what a phenomenon the show was going to be! Many of my most rewatched performances come from the season.
得不到的爱情
大碗宽面
相爱后动物感伤
FLOW
新物种
youtube
Season 2
This season has a special place in my heart as the first one I watched! It's the only one I've seen twice (when it originally aired and rewatched with friends). Compared to season 1, you can definitely tell they had a bigger budget and started to refine the format. Also, some of my all-time favorite contestants are from this season.
现在不跳舞要干嘛
归零
快乐宝贝
给自己的歌
我
youtube
Season 3
This season was the first with the show's "modern" and fully-developed format, which remains to this day. For example, they started to include more complex sets and recruited more diverse contestants, such as dancers, an athlete, etc. Also, my favorite performance of the entire series, 雾里, is from this season.
雾里
梦中人
山海
孤独颂歌
有吗炒面
youtube
Season 4
This season was the first time I felt there wasn’t improvement over the previous season. I think the stage design took a step backward, and I didn't love the international focus. It was hard to identify my favorite performances because I didn't feel strongly about many. That being said, my friends and I still enjoyed this season.
从头
千里万里
下个,路口,见
归途有风
I'm Not Yours
youtube
Season 5
Though this season has already ended, I'm not done yet. I watch with friends, so we move at a slower pace. So far, it seems largely in line with season 4. I'll update this post after we finish.
Call Me By Fire
Chinese title: 披荆斩棘的哥哥 (S1) / 披荆斩棘 (S2-3) English title: Call Me By Fire *I call it Brothers as a nickname
A show about female empowerment gets a male spin off? Out of skepticism, I did not plan to check out this show when it premiered in 2021 (after Sisters S2). But at some point I changed my mind, mostly because I had to run out of other shows. Little did I know I would arguably become a more devoted fan of this show than the original!
Season 1
This season had too many iconic performances to count, and in particular, the Hong Kong contestants really took the world by storm. Due to scandals, they edited out 2 contestants (Huo Zun and Li Yundi), which admittedly does make for an awkward viewing experience at times, but you should totally watch anyway.
凄美地
MMA
飞云之下
达拉崩吧
如果还有明天
youtube
Season 2
Looking back, season 2 did not have as many stand out performances as season 1, but it does boast my favorite performances of the entire series, 新地球. It also features a fantastic group of contestants, probably my favorite overall cohort of the show.
新地球
袖手旁观
私人生活
理想
凤毛麟角
youtube
Season 3
This was the first season to air after I started watching, though I didn't watch it live because I was still on season 2. While it's probably impossible to top the iconic status of season 1, I think season 3 was an improvement over season 2 in terms of memorable performances. We also got the iconic 0713 (2007快乐男声全国13强) contestants.
行走的鱼
爱人错过
Joker
走麦田
有没有一首歌会让你想起我
youtube
Season 4
This season is sadly coming to an end, although I have not started the finale yet. I'll start this weekend and update this post in the future after I've had some time to gather my thoughts.
Now I have to go finish 披荆斩棘4 episode 11 so I can watch the finale. Bye!!!
#my watchlist#deciding what to include was soooo hard I was in pain#also sadly some really good ones are not available on youtube prob cause of the usage rights#if just 1 person checks out these shows it will be worth the inexcusable amount of time I invested in this post#to contextualize my obsession know that I have painstakingly translated and subtitled 20+ songs from Sisters#just so my friends who don’t know chinese could enjoy them#I think amber liu and xue zhiqian must have the same stylist cause so many of her outfits look like they could be his lol#sisters who make waves#ride the wind#乘风破浪的姐姐#乘风破浪#乘风#chengfengpolang#call me by fire#披荆斩棘的哥哥#披荆斩棘#pijingzhanji#cvariety#chinese variety show

destiel college au where sam is actually the first one to meet cas in like a gender studies class or something at stanford and they become bffs before sam eventually introduces cas to dean who is—at first—very unnerved by this new guy who doesn’t seem to blink often enough and also can’t maintain a normal amount of eye contact with anyone to save his life. but sam is like ‘oh c’mon dean, cas is cool i swear. just give him some time to open up’ and so dean agrees to be patient with him and eventually wouldn’t you know it they’re all three thick as thieves. and then months later sam’s afternoon poli sci class or whatever is cancelled so he gets home earlier than usual which dean and cas did not account for and has the great misfortune of witnessing his big brother in the throes of passion with his BFFL castiel and he wants to vomit immediately profusely everywhere because ew gross how could they. and then he thinks ‘wait. how long have they been fucking behind my back?’ so once dean and cas shuffle out of dean’s room fully clothed but bright pink and embarrassed beyond measure he pokes and prods until he gets all the details of how they got together and he holds it over their heads forever. and of course he’s happy for them because how could he not be but also who is he to pass up on the free ammunition like that. he’s still the youngest sibling it’s only natural. so anytime either of them get annoyed with sam he’s just like ‘sure yeah but who do you have to thank for your eternal love? me. so what if i forgot to get pop tarts at the grocery store, dean. try eating a breakfast with actual nutrients for once’ and nobody really has anything to say to that bc sam is right
#it’s also worth noting bc it’s me and i can’t Not note this. sam has a wardrobe full of crop tops in this au#and he and cas definitely hit the gay clubs together. body glitter included. sam may or may not be wearing mascara and some dangly earrings#yes dean tags along and naturally there’s a cowboy themed night. dean absolutely shows up in full slutty cowboy gear.#and he rides that mechanical bull like nobody’s ever seen#yes this is me coping with that shit ass monstrosity they call a series finale#sam winchester#dean winchester#castiel#destiel#deancas#supernatural#spn#ramblings#yeah still going strong with the tags. just don’t look

You know the saying of "I want to be under your skin"? Most crave the idea of being so close to someone you hold affection towards alas it's not possible . Unless...... if you're the human buddy of a transformer! I'm not just talking about their car alts. Some of those bots are seriously big. With transformers like Optimus there would be plenty of room for a human to wingle into his cables under some plating.
πππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ
Imagine a medic taking a walk and then sees this autobot covered in these lumps. Especially near their neck region. They are munching away happily on some energon clearly not grasping how sick they must be. The medic runs over to them and yells at the bot out of concern for what's going on. They demand that the autobot must go to sickbay NOW. The bot just laughs at them and pokes gently a few times at a lump by their spark. It riggles for a few moments before a human head pops out through a gap in the cables, their hair sticking out in all directions. They must have been recharging as they level the autobot with a tired glare.
"What?" They scream.
The autobot points to the medic. They stare at him for a few seconds before realization dons on their face. It's quickly replaced by an annoyed look.
" *sigh* Look for the last time [-----] is not sick. All those bumps you see are happy human friends, humans who are trying to sleep so be a dear and frag off.
The human ducked under the cables to assumingly go back to sleep. The medic apologizes for the misunderstanding but the autobot just laughs it off. Apparently this happens a lot. They parted ways and the medic would stare at the autobot as he walked away, multiple life signatures showing up on his frame.
πππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ
There's some serious potential for a lot of cute moments but also some copl ones. Like imagine you're a decepticon and you kidnapped this autobot for ransom or something. They have tons of plants on them so you don't pay attention to the organic life signatures in your visor.
Big mistake.
As you're monologuing you get up into their face and gloat at them, stating how no one is going to save you and your alone. That's when the humans strike. They burst out of the autobots plating then grabs out his face plate. The humans jab something into both of his optics blinding him. As he fumbles about he can hear the other humans discussing how to free their friend. The humans on him start to rip and bite at his weak seams. The decepticon violently starts shaking them off and when the last human loses their grip he transforms and flies away.
πππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ
Ooh now I'm thinking about making a crossover child with my symbiosis au. Humans could clean all the hard to reach places in a Cybertronian. The bots can't transform but they can still provide transport and now shelter. There could be something about a transformer/human becoming of age and leaving their caretakers to find their first partner. Their small young adult frame only allows the Cybertronian to fit one human into them but as they get older they can take in more. They are bonded for life and it's amazing. ❤️
#tf#transformers#maccadam#humans are space orcs#humans are under your plating?#transformers & humans#transformers x humans#au#fluff and humor#humans are little guys#optimus prime#tfp Megatron could fit like an entire apartment building worth#i imagine this would start with a transformer without a t-cog and their human friend who hitches rides on their shoulders#then just squeezes in one day to be annoying and the rest us history

Things I read on the internet that's a declaration of hate for Kana and my reaction (hoping I feel better after typing them all out)
"Kana makes everything about herself"
Did she want to be an idol? Did she want to be a center girl? (Girlie don't even know what a center girl is hahahaha). In Tokyo Blade, did she want the spotlight? That one time Kana wanted anything for herself is when she told Aqua her new dream. She did not even have a graduation concert. She did not have that movie that director told her about. In 137, she was praised for being a handy actor that can uplift others and improve herself and was described as "lacks opportunity" and many chapters after that, she still did not have an opportunity for herself. Kaburagi said they'd sell her as genius actor but that was not addressed anymore. So where is that she makes everything about herself when nothing was sbout her anyway? Not the idol career. Not as an actress. Not as a human loved back by the one she loves. She did not become anything she ever wanted so really how was this all about her? No I really want to know, how did Kana make everything about herself? Like I am really curious where this is coming from ah why do you hate Kana so much? 🥺
"___ best girl compared to Kana who only cries all the time"
Why can't we just go with the "____ best girl." period. Why do you need to put down a character to praise another character I am genuinely curious. I mean my favourite character has always been Kana but not ever did I hate on Akane or Ruby or anyone because why would I when all these characters have different stories of their own? And why do these girls need to compete with each other anyway?! Who's giving out the crown and sash? What's the point??? Your favourite is the best girl for you. Okay! Other's favourite is best girl for them. Okay, too! That's perfectly normal so why are you fighting each other I do not understand 😭
"despicable for slapping a corpse"
Kana slapping Aqua was something that belonged to them. No one knows that conversation except Aqua and Kana (and us, the readers). Miyako's reaction was very valid because she does not know anything about that conversation. Which is why when Kana told that to the dead Aqua, Miyako's reaction wasn't angry anymore. Miyako was in tears. I honestly would have killed Aqua twice if I were Kana really so a slap is nothing compared to the emotional wreck being in their lives brought her. Kana deserves to be slapped for hurting a corpse yes I agree but Aqua deserves that slap too for thinking that him dying is the great solution to whatever problem they're trying to solve.
"Kana is useless"
And what a heartbreak that is. Kana is perservering, patiently working on all the things she want to happen and absolutely nothing went her way. Kana is a representation of someone that tried and tried patiently but everything she did just made her feel useless. She grabs every opportunity, creates opportunity for herself but she is never enough. If killing one's self was a contest, I'd definitely compete Arima Kana as candidate. I would even forgive her if she just goes feral all of a sudden with all of the things that happened to her. She's useless, you say, but was that her fault?
"Kana does not deserve to be happy"
and why not? I say everyone in Oshi no Ko deserves to be happy. So why deny that to Kana?
But really. Why is she getting so much hate?
#I want to hug Kana so much#I feel so bad for her#she is trashed both in onk universe and in real life#arima kana#kana arima#and no I don't care if she does not end up with Aqua I've even made a playlist titled Almost AquaKana because I am absolute they will not#end up together but what I just really really want for Kana was for her to at least get what she worked hard for like give her that movie#give her the graduation stage and make her feel that betting as an idol was worth it#how dare this story write her showing how determined she is not to be addressed as the lesser panda only to keep her hopes up and#not give her anything in return#I love her character so much my heart breaks for her#I hope in an alternate universe she is happy and free from self-doubt and I hope she will feel that she is more than enough#oshi no ko#the haters side of the onk fandom is a hard pill to swallow#and not just Kana haters I am talking about everyone in this fandom who hates a character in the onk universe#it has been a wild ride reading all the hate they can say for a character I don't want to ever be in a place like this again

Not my salty ass remembering how 1A originally didn't want Izuku in their School Festival performance despite Eri only going to the festival in the first place to see him and only him perform.
#class 1a critical#class 1a is not a found family#mha critical#bnha critical#izuku deserves better#izuku midoriya deserves better#eri being izuku's ride or die is worth her being nothing more than a poorly written plot device#god forbid izuku has any other hobbies outside of being an All Might/hero fanboy#god forbid izuku has any other talents outside of fighting#and even then all it does is get him ignored or in trouble#god forbid izuku has ANY characterization

me in the last couple days leading up to new rekindled updates:
me after rekindled updates and i see everyone's reactions and tags and theories which makes it all worth doing it over again:
#here we go to episode 46#episode 45 was such a ride for me to write and draw fr#i'm so glad y'all liked it#i'm seeing more speculation than ever about persephone's character arc and it's filling my heart with so much joy#because y'all are already piecing shit together#you're just missing the last piece#idk what's gonna happen once it's found#but i know for sure the journey getting there is gonna be worth it#lore rekindled#lore rekindled comic
