Claudia's Celebration of Life: Spark in the Dark

As the title suggests, this event is to celebrate the wonderful Claudia; her personality, her aspirations, her journey. The heart for the past two seasons of AMC Interview with The Vampire. This is to take the narrative back to her, proving she's not just a shingle roof for us.

The event will be held for 30 days (from Aug 11th to Sept 9th) with 15 themes.

Let's flood her tags with posts about her again! (plus, please give TW or CW when it's appropriate)

Important point: This event is AMC Claudia & Madeleine focused only. Please try to minimize inclusion of other characters or iterations except when it's on the theme.

We're BACK, baby!

With TLOVM Season 3 confirmed for this fall, what better way to kick off the season than with some cozy fics, hot art and great vibes for our favorite couple?

Last year, we were ecstatic to see over 40 pieces of artwork and 90 fics pop up in response to our prompts - so we're delighted to return and host Perc'ahlia Week again! This is a fan-hosted event intended to celebrate all things about the pairing: delightful arrow gifts to handling politics as a married couple.

We want to make sure this environment is welcoming to show fans and safe for minors to dip their toes into fandom: as a result, we request that anything that might contain spoilers for TLOVM s3 and onwards be tagged #c1 spoilers. And, as steamy as Perc'ahlia can get, please remember to tag more suggestive works appropriately.

Tag any creations made for the event with #percahliaweek, or @ us here @percahliaweek, and we will reblog it. Or you can submit directly to the blog if you’d prefer!

We also have a Discord server - both to encourage eachother to work on WIPs and just hang out. You can find us HERE <3

Any questions? We have an FAQ up HERE - but please don’t hesitate to send in an ask!

The Thai Communal Wardrobe 2024 Round-up, Stats, and Awards

Last year, I wrote about the most memorable items of clothing in bl series (to me) for my yearly wrap-up. This year, I'm drawing on stats from the communal wardrobe spreadsheet to dole out awards.

As of Dec 31st 2024, there are 260 items of clothing on the Thai Communal Wardrobe (individual items of clothing which have been worn in two or more different Thai series) - that I have found.

In 2024, 71 new items were added to the communal wardrobe list - meaning they were worn for the first time in a series which finished airing in 2024 and then were subsequently worn again in another series. (This number is going to increase because of the items of clothing worn in Only Boo that I already know will get worn in ThamePo). 62 of them were in two series, 5 were in three series, 2 were in four series, and another 2 were in four series but with two or three colour variations in one of them making five appearances in total.

Now on to the stats and awards!

The First Past The Post Award

The date of the first appearance in 2024 of an item of shared clothing previously worn in other series was Jan 5th, with two items - one in ep 10 of Twins and another in ep 9 of Last Twilight.

The green and grey shirt in Twins was first used in Middleman's Love in 2023, then went on to be worn in Hidden Moon, Peaceful Property, and Love Sick 2024. The L.A Core t-shirt in Last Twilight was first used in Only Friends in 2023, and then went on to be worn in 23.5 and Peaceful Property.

The Most Popular Date Award

There are four joint winners for this category - each having 7 items of clothing (whether new or reappearing): Jan 5th (with one in ep 10 of Twins and six in ep 9 of Last Twilight), Jan 26th (all seven in ep 12 of Last Twilight), Jul 4th (all seven in ep 7 of Knock Knock Boys!), and Sept 8th (all seven in ep 11 of The Trainee).

The Newcomers Award

The series which introduced the most new items of shared clothing that went on to be worn in other series was Last Twilight with 22 items (with Cooking Crush a close second with 20).

In this example, both Mhok and Day's shirts went on to be worn by Uncle Somkid in Peaceful Property, and Mhok's shirt might also get worn in My Golden Blood.

The Only Friends Environmental Sustainability Award

In 2023, Only Friends used 71 items of shared clothing - 28 of which had already been worn in another series and 43 which were new and went on to be worn in more series. (This is the highest number of shared clothing used in one series and I don't think any other series will come close - the next is currently Last Twilight with 49).

In 2024 Peaceful Property re-used the most items of clothing which had been previously worn in other series -> 34 (with 16 from Only Friends and 15 from Last Twilight, amongst other shows). This series has yet to spawn any new items of shared clothing.

In this example, the Dudes shirt was previously worn in Only Friends and Be My Favourite.

The Overachiever Award

Last Twilight also had the most items of shared clothing overall (both new which then got worn in future shows and ones which had already been worn in other shows) with 49.

The Blink and You'll Miss It Award

The shortest time in 2024 between the same item appearing in a different series was one day - this black and white striped shirt worn on Jul 6th in ep 10 of Wandee Goodday and on Jul 7th in ep 5 of Love Sea.

A special mention to this jacket below which was worn in ep 8 of Wandee Goodday and ep 2 of Sunset x Vibes on the same day - Jun 22nd - and which would have won had they been the same colour.

The Good Things Come to Those Who Wait Award

The longest time in 2024 between the same item appearing in a different series was 9 months and 8 days - this white polo shirt with brown collar worn on Jan 5th in ep 9 of Last Twilight and on Nov 13th in ep 12 of Peaceful Property.

The Surprise Mutherfucker! Award

The longest time since the previous appearance of an item worn in 2024 was 2 years, 7 months, and 27 days - this Santa of Attention t-shirt first worn on Dec 12 2021 in ep 1 of Not Me and then not again until Aug 8th 2024 in ep 3 of Monster Next Door.

The Miss Popularity Award

The item of clothing new to the communal wardrobe list in 2024 which was re-worn the most times was this brown t-shirt with double blue stripes worn on May 12th in ep 6 of Only Boo!, Jun 6th in ep 3 of Knock Knock Boys!, July 14th in ep 3 of The Trainee, and Aug 8th in ep 1 of Monster Next Door. (There's something very satisfying about them being consecutive months).

Runners up include the following 3 items but since they have colour variations and the above doesn't, they lost the top spot. Incidentally, I think the one on the left that Peat and Book are wearing will be worn in Jack & Joker special ep...but we'll see in Feb!

The We Bought This on Wholesale Award

The item of clothing already on the communal wardrobe list which had the most reappearances in 2024 was this striped cardigan with white collar in three different colours worn on Jan 20th in ep 6 of Cherry Magic Thailand, Feb 22nd in ep 5 of The Outing, Apr 8th in ep 8 of To Be Continued, May 18th in ep 3 of Wandee Goodday, Jul 26th in ep 3 of This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans, Sept 8th in ep 11 of The Trainee, and Oct 7th in ep 10 of Summer Night. (Previously worn in Bed Friend, Step By Step, Only Friends, and My Dear Gangster Oppa between Apr and Nov 2023 and might get worn again in a few series I have my eye on).

Runners up include item #8 (with 6 appearances) and item #13 (with 5 appearances).

The One Size Fits All Award

The actor who wore the most items on the communal wardrobe in 2024 was Sea Tawinan who wore 31 in total as both Day in Last Twilight and Tae in The Trainee.

In these examples, Day's red and white striped top was worn (two days!) after in Cooking Crush, whilst Tae's Feel The Fear sweatshirt was previously worn (two months earlier) in Wandee Goodday.

Incidentally, Sea has also worn the most items on the communal wardrobe of all time - with 43, as Talay in Vice Versa as well as Day, and Tae.

The Better Late than Never Award

The date of the last appearance in 2024 of an item of shared clothing previously worn in other series was Dec 29th - and just like the first appearance there were 2 items, both in ep 10 of Perfect 10 Liners.

The Don Juan Pond Salinity Award

From BTS media, I felt I had been promised the More Than Friends Less Than Lovers t-shirt in Wandee Goodday - which would have been the perfect series for it - and I spent three months eagerly anticipating its appearance...which ended up not happening. It was also worn platonically in Peaceful Property, which we all ignored because the show is a BL in our hearts and minds if not in explicit actuality.

The What in the Baseball Mom is this?! Award

Originally worn by Book as Mew in Only Friends, the Friends Don't Let Friends Go. to Stanfurd t-shirt was so odd that I thought it would be left in the Crazy Singles drawer along with Baseball Mom and Fart Proudly. I was amazed, therefore, to see it again in Jul in ep 15 of We Are...then a month later in ep 9 of Century of Love...and after another month in ep 5 of Summer Night. But that was nothing compared to my shock at seeing it on Book once again in Dec in ep 10 of Perfect 10 Liners. (I predict it will get worn again).

So there we have it! Or...I'm getting close to my image limit for this post (*shakes fist at tumblr*) so I'll leave you with this yin and yang pairing of opposite sentiments (these two are not on the communal wardrobe...yet), also because this post is severely lacking in the ladies.

Take whichever one you need into the new year!

fear not... or ahhh!

warnings: angst

word count: 1.4k

masterlist

a/n: this is a lot different than my normal works so i hope you enjoy this different format

aug 5th, 2022: i know it's only been two days since you left but i miss you so much already! good luck today, kick some ass!! mwah! xoxo

aug 15th, 2022: hi honey. i hope the mission went well a few days ago! even though email is the safest way we can communicate while you're gone i know you can't always respond even if you're in a safe house. i'm not too worried, i know how skilled you and lemon are. tell him i say hi! i can't wait for you to be home, you estimated you'd be back on the 17th so i have a nice dinner planned. <3 love you so so much my sweet tang!

aug 27th, 2022: hey tang, i can't lie and say i'm not a tiny bit worried but i keep telling myself you've been gone longer before with zero communication. maybe it feels different now because of how long we've been together. i miss waking up to you and grabbing our keys and heading out for the day. if you see this message me back! even if you can't fully respond i'll settle with a smiley face if i must! haha. oh by the way i still cooked that dinner i had planned for us, it came out soooo yummy. but it took so long omg! you're lucky i love you and i'm willing to spend 8 hours in the kitchen again. it will probably taste better this time since you will be by my side. love you lots!

sept 12th, 2022: i only just saw the news of the bullet train derailment in japan on august 5th. that was your mission wasn't it? you said the 5th. i'm worried more now, i can't lie, but like i tell you every day i know how skilled you are. even though i never want to wish you are in a hospital i hope that's where you are recovering with lemon by your side. when you get the chance please email me back, okay? i love you.

sept 14th, 2022: tangerine if you see this please email or call me.

sept 30th, 2022: i wish i could talk to you just once. one word so i know you are okay. i can't reach lemon either. i wake up every day hoping you will be laying next to me. please, please give me something so i know you are alright? anything. where are you tangerine? i don't want to keep crying but that's all i can do. sit here in our empty house and cry. the walls feel like they are closing in on me. i went to our favorite breakfast spot the other day and i got that really sweet older lady with the grey curly hair as my waitress. she asked where you've been. i don't know how much longer i can keep saying you are gone for work and people believe it... i no longer believe it either. i hate typing it out. i don't want to believe something awful happened but something did, didn't it? i can feel it in my body. please reach out to me, i miss you so much and i love you so so much tangerine, please.

oct 26th, 2022: i love halloween, you know that more than anyone. decorations everywhere, piles of candy, and everyone dressing up pretending to be someone else for the night. now i feel bad about how much i bugged you about this year's halloween. my friends keep telling me to come out and join them, but if i'm being honest it's hard to do anything these days. it doesn't help that they think you just left me, ghosted me i guess. but they don't know what you do for work and i can't tell them. so i have to listen to them talk shit about you and i sit there trying to convince them you aren't this evil guy who ditched me and never looked back. maybe i should listen, maybe it's easier to believe you just left me than admitting to myself you're no longer here. i'm holding out, i'm trying so fucking hard to, tan. maybe in some sick joke you will pop up on halloween dressed in some stupid costume with a mask covering your face and in some grand reveal you will pull the mask off and i'll be in your arms again. it's wishful thinking. well, i have to go now, i'm meeting with a co-worker. love you.

dec 1st, 2022: i should be waking up this morning with your arms wrapped around me nearly crushing every bone in my body. but i didn't. and i haven't since the beginning of august. is it cruel now to admit i think you are gone. i really think you are and part of me has thought this since i saw the news of the bullet train. i feel scared. i'm starting to forget the little things about you. i can't play back the sound of your laugh in my head. i can't really picture the way your eyes crinkled. it makes me feel ill. i don't want to forget the small details about you. i crave to whisper goodnight and i love you to you. i crave just for your body next to mine. in the most innocent forms i crave you, like the way you'd absentmindedly play with my hair or pull out my chair or charge my phone when i always forget. the simple things i'm missing the most. i didn't realize i had so many forms of love until you've been gone. happy anniversary, dear.

jan 17th, 2023: tangerine, i'm not sure why i opened this email account. it's been over a month since i've checked it. maybe it was because i heard your favorite song earlier and thought of you a bit more than usual these days. i secretly hoped there would be a new message but that's foolish of me.

april 7th, 2023: Dear Tangerine, I know you won't read this email, but I felt as though I needed to explain what life has been like recently. My friends no longer bring you up in conversation which I am grateful for. I had to stop visiting our favorite breakfast place, each time I went they asked about you, even as recently as three weeks ago. I will miss their egg sandwich that you recommended to me on our third date but it is better off I no longer go there. Work has been great, a bit busy, but good. I removed your picture from my desk at the beginning of the new year. I saw the way my co-workers would stare a bit too long at it, I guess seeing it reminded them how I never mentioned you anymore. Speaking of co-workers, a few emails ago I mentioned I was meeting up with one of them. We've been seeing each other a lot outside of work, I enjoy their company. I can never say this to them but when they kiss me and hug me I sometimes think it's you. That's wrong to admit especially since I think I'm developing feelings for them, but they will never see this. They are kind and treat me well which I know you would be pleased to hear. I packed up your clothes in my house and put them in a box. I couldn't keep looking at them. I cried so much that I don't think I can cry again for years to come. I would hug your shirts and jackets so much that they lost your smell. I regret that a bit. I opened the box a few days ago and it smelled like me. Almost all signs of you are gone now that the remnants of your cologne is worn off the fabric. I think I might sell the house. It's too big for a single person now. It's too quiet in here and it almost feels like someone is watching me, it doesn't feel safe. Maybe that's because you provided me with safety. I'm not doing much today, it's actually pretty early right now, maybe I'll cook that dinner I never got to cook for you. I haven't since that day. I'm realizing how silly I sound in my own head as I type these words. Maybe I'll invest in a journal soon.

[biancadoes1]

So I get if you don’t want to talk about this, but I’d really like to address A photo dump and the one on the balcony. It is from when L was there, because as someone pointed out the towel on the ground has the exact same creases and laid down the same way. we know the trip was no later than beginning of sept due to when L posted. Although most of theorize it was Maybe July. But why was A there? Friend groups like Italy or GQ makes sense. Even Milan (after the WT) we could say he was helping her with modeling since she wants to do that(and maybe part of the nda). But this Marabella trip I don’t think he went on with his usual friends, because you think they’d post at some point about it, right? Because if she can you think they’d be able to. I know some thought maybe he was with family, but then again why would she be there? I think N and L been together a while, so this one stumps me. Anyone have any theories?

The simplest answer is that she was there in July like most theorize and they were with the friend group.

If we go based off the hotel posting that video using Bton theme music, we could say he was there around July 24th. They show up in Italy two days later on the 26th.

The balcony picture is old news but I think she tried to stump people with the meta data from Luke's pics that spread like wildfire.

It backfired, though. Well, at least most of us saw right through it.

It forced others off the ship or to get drunk at the bar.

Weak.

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies, I hope your Monday started your week off well <3 As I'm sitting here typing this I have my son asleep under one arm, so I apologize if this is a bit scattered. I saw this infographic today and it made me think of you all. I don't know about you, but I spent a lot of my life thinking I had to do everything, excel at everything, have all the money, and the car, and the house, and the kids, etc. But you know what? Life isn't about having everything. It's about finding the things you love and matter most to you and focusing on them. The things that matter most to me will absolutely be different from everyone else (we may share some of the same) but no two people are exactly the same when it comes to interests, and thats beautiful. Dig deep into the things you love crew, and remember you don't have to feel any shame for the things that mean the most to you. Do you like video games? Or Ornithology? How about fanfiction? Or maybe Indy 500 races? Do you find joy when you're alone in the woods? Or sitting out with friends at a bar? Do you enjoy being alone? Or maybe you love to sing your heart out at karaoke? Whatever it is you love-- embrace it, whether it's "Weird" by someone else's standards or not. If it makes you smile, if it makes you enjoy your time on this little blue dot-- dive in lovelies, with no regrets. I so very hope that even if it's only little bits at a time this week you get to spend doing the things you love, whatever that may be. Rest well and drink some water tonight <3 Love you crew

GO GET YOUR BEAT BACK. I stand corrected. My hat’s off to you, Jiyeol. Or, it would be if I wore one. Song Kyumin. Sept 30, 2024.

Here I am, doing the long-ago (eight months ago, to be specific) mentioned standing and applauding. You can’t see me, but I just took a break from my laptop and did just that. Honest.

Yes, you heard me. Kil Jiyeol (of BONSOIR fame, for about a year and a half) is, against all odds, starting his very own label. Announced only a few days ago—the 26th of September, in fact, on its brand new Twitter (or rather, X? Not that I want to call it that) account in the mid-morning. The name of this new chapter in his life is named, as you may have either guessed from my title or seen for yourself, is BEAT BACK. But they’re not aiming to be an entertainment company like JAGUAR, or SM, or any others that house your favourite acts. In his own words, from a rather heartfelt informal-interview-style video posted over on his Instagram (another thing I was admittedly wrong about him not touching again, but at least I was right for about eight months):

“I’m not aiming for us to end up being this big conglomerate, or anything. I mean, sure, we’ll have groups, but there won’t be much.. Content. You know, like a variety show, or an excursion, or whatever. We do the music, the concept, the distribution, all that, and they can do everything else. Why would I give a [—] if one of them wants to post a video of them out in some club? If they’re seen with other people? Hell, they can go silent for the whole stretch between one release and another, as long as they still show up to the studio.”

—  via  @KILYEOL  on  Instagram.

While it could be argued he’s drawing a little on Seungdae’s ideologies—the “all press is good press” motto of his, the relaxed attitude to whatever trouble people under his care get into—it’s not as if anyone can blame him. He was there for a good sixteen years, after all. Not to psychoanalyse, but after being there for that long it’d be a miracle if he didn’t exit with some of their values burned into his brain.

But wherever he got the notions from, he’s made it pretty clear what to expect from them and their groups in the future—whenever the first will come to fruition. Maybe the eight-month stretch was spent laying down their foundations, planting seeds (you know, things like securing trademarks, finding some funds, building a team of staff, etc. The basics, as someone more experienced in this field than me might have called them). Or maybe all of that had been done before Jiyeol had even left JAGUAR in the first place, and all that time was put into perfecting everything relating to their very first project—allowing for a quicker release in order to really get the ball rolling for BEAT BACK.

However long it takes, though, the factor that will always remain the same is the support it will inevitably receive. The move was immediately met with waves of longtime (and very, very deprived of the object of their idolism) fans jumping onto the newborn BEAT BACK like it was their new lifeline, for example. I don’t really know what it is about Jiyeol to them that draws them in, but for me personally I greatly admire his drive. He’s clearly taking this seriously, and intends to see it through to the best of his ability (which I’m sure will expand with time) as well as pouring every ounce of care he can muster up into it. And while I mentioned a few names back over at JAGUAR I speculated won’t be tuning in to whatever he gets up to in the future, he still has friends like Jalen, the company’s production team (rarely seen in photos and only ever named as Daejin and Joosun respectively in track credits, neither seeming to have taken on titles for themselves), and of course his other ex-groupmates Ilwoo and Hyeonmin—the former more than the latter, the inseparable pair they’ve looked more and more to be over the months.

So. All-in-all (reception-wise, at least), although he’ll have his obstacles—as everyone does—I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’ll come out of it relatively unscathed. Doing well for himself, even, what with all the new fans he would’ve raked in with the announcement of whatever group (or member, if he decides to go down the soloist route first of all) he’s planning to push into the world of idolatry.

To really get any reception at all, the two things needed are a team good enough to put it all together and a group good enough to execute it near-perfectly. Like I said, nobody except those far closer to Jiyeol than you or I (unless.. You know him personally? If this is the case, my work email is linked—please, feel free to tell me more) knows who could possibly be in their lineups for any upcoming acts, so the next best thing is to try and take a look into is the people he’s committed himself to working alongside in this new venture of his—for now, at least.

I’m making the assumption that Ilwoo will be involved in some way, although I doubt he’ll hold any official position in the label. An outsider whose opinions are.. Largely valued, is what I’ll say. I’ve also asked around and received word from one of my many contacts that an old friend of once-JUST4U star Na Yeseul is on the team, as well as a literal relative of JAGUAR COO Sim Hyojoo. It seems that even if he’s left, he’ll never quite be free of his old company’s tendrils. But aside from those three, I haven’t been able to pry much else out—it’s either the insiders don’t want to spoil any surprises, or Jiyeol and his new team are very good at keeping secrets. I’m willing to bet it’s the latter.

I suppose all that’s left to do is wait and see, much was the case when the news initially broke of him leaving. The man is a mystery—maybe that’s where Yijun got it from. Whoever he works with, whoever he makes a group out of; the crowds will be there, and amongst them will be me. I’ll see you on the other side, because who would I be if not the person giving unsolicited opinions on anything anyone in the JAGUAR-related circle does?

Oh, you thought I wasn’t serious? Email me at kyuminsong@pblicenemy.co.kr if you have any info you think I’d like to know.

[actualselkie]

okay. I'm doing this again, I guess.

so the norwegian governmental agency that is supposed to support people in need (NAV) is giving me the runaround. I'm in a program for charting disability and work ability, and receive (very little) money while in the program. I was supposed to get 2680 NOK (~$250) this last monday (Sept. 18th), but received nothing. I am not getting any more information until NEXT monday (sept. 26th). I have about $20 to my name. I have no savings, and my family are poor.

I do not know how they expect me to survive off of nothing for a week, just because THEY didn't register my program extension. I am going to have to skip meals. They already have me living on barely $500 a month, and my medications alone are over $100 every month. I am desperate.

I have multiple disabilities. I am transgender. My partner is still struggling to find a job, so in reality TWO people are living on this non-budget. Food is so incredibly expensive here. I am so fucking tired.

I can provide any proof you need. Literally just $5 can get us a meal, although my meds are running low.

my p*yp*l is here. if you're Norwegian, dm me for vipps.

PLEASE do not tag this as d*nations or anything related. also please don't tell my family about this like last time. thank you.

This Week in The TCW

Mar 23rd - Mar 29th

It was a quiet week this week on the new-items-in-airing-shows front. There would have been two from Sweet Tooth Good Dentist had ep 2 aired...but under the circumstances it's understandable why it got postponed. But I did make two more historical discoveries.

Mar 24th - Ossan's Love Thailand

This first one from ep 12 of Ossan's Love Thailand isn't necessarily the same item that has been worn before BUT it is a short-sleeved version of something that has been worn in Wandee Goodday (Jul 2024) and more recently A Boy Next World (Jan 2025). Close enough to have a mention.

Mar 26th - My Golden Blood

I already knew that this shirt was going to be worn in ep 3 of My Golden Blood from the BTS pics of the filming and from the ep 3 preview, but it was nice to see it in the ep anyway. Worn in Last Twilight in January 2024, then in October 2024 in Peaceful Property.

Historical Discoveries

I've said it before and I will keep saying it but gif makers are amazing, not only because I get to relive moments from my wonderful shows but also because I will come upon gifsets years after a show has aired and it will contain an item already on the communal wardrobe list.

Like this yellow sweater, which @tortibomb included in this gifset, of A tale of Thousand Stars (Apr 2021), which I instantly recognised from I'm Tee Mee Too (Oct 2020), Vice Versa (Sept 2022), and A Boss and a Babe (Mar 2023). I'm sad it wasn't used last year, breaking the yearly trend.

Sometimes clothes that feel familiar will bounce around my head like a tennis ball for a while until I figure out why. This week it was this blue cardigan which, when I saw it in the final ep of Gelboys last week (Mar 22 2025), I thought I recognised but couldn't place at all. Then, a few days later, my mind decided it wanted to do another scan through of Your Sky in case there were any clothes in there that I had missed. When I saw this cardigan in ep 6 (Dec 22 2024) I again felt that nudge of familiarity but couldn't place where from...until after another couple of days @clairedaring's Gelboys gifset graced my dash and I could finally put two and two together. Game, Set, and Match.

Ryan Grenoble at HuffPost:

After months of delays, a New York judge set a sentencing date Friday for former President Donald Trump, who was convicted in May of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment to a porn star in the waning days of the 2016 presidential election. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan set a new sentencing date for Nov. 26, after the 2024 presidential election.

Merchan explained his rationale in a letter to the legal counsel, acknowledging that sentencing a former president who’s currently seeking office again is “fraught with complexities.” He decided to postpone the hearing, he said, to avoid any appearance of “giving advantage to, or to create a disadvantage for” Trump. Merchan further emphasized he wanted “to avoid any appearance ― however unwarranted ― that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching Presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate.” Merchan has already delayed the sentencing once. Trump was initially going to be sentenced July 11. But Merchan pushed the date back to Sept. 18 after Trump’s lawyers urged him to reconsider the verdict in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s July ruling that presidents are immune from prosecution for “official” acts.

The sentencing hearing for 34x Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s business records falsification and election interference will be held after the Presidential Election on November 26th.

Vote for the Prosecutor and not the Felon if you want to see Trump sentenced and held accountable!
