Can anyone give some guidance on how I should proceed with voting in the US Presidential election nexy year? I just realized we are in a huge predicament.

I don't wanna vote for Trump (or any Republican) because they are against basic human rights in our own country and want to get rid of abortion access, lgbtq+ rights, and basically any human right you can think of. From what I've seen I also don't believe they'd call for a ceasefire in Gaza. (I know the Democrats are currently funding the genocide but I've seen no Republicans say they'd call a ceasefire. Their silence is just as loud).

I don't wanna vote for Biden because he is currently actively funding the genocide in Palestine and the current government is giving the Israeli government billions of dollars to bomb Gaza while also claiming that we can't afford to wipe student debt or provide free healthcare in our own country. This isn't mere hypocrisy. It's outright malice.

The other democratic candidates from what I've seen also don't seem to be interested in calling for an immediate ceasefire so I don't really wanna vote for them either.

I would vote for a 3rd party but both the left and the right say that voting for a 3rd party is basically throwing away your vote (though imo that is a self-fulfilling prophecy; 'voting 3rd party is throwing away your vote. they never win' > they don't vote 3rd party > the 3rd party candidate doesn't win and either the democrats or republicans win > 'this is why voting 3rd party is throwing away your vote. they never win.' > repeat). I also don't know if the 3rd party candidates would call for a ceasefire.

So...any advice?

(I'm not accepting 'just don't vote' as advice).

Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.

I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

EDIT: How do we show appreciation to the volunteers? For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.

But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org

TRAIN YOUR IMAGINATION

By taking time to imagine the life you want, you will come more familiar with it. Making shifting and manifesting more natural.

Training your imagination is so simple and easy yet so powerful.

SO EASY I CAN GIVE YOU A STEP BY STEP.

———————————————————————

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR IMAGINATION:

1: IMAGINE THE LIFE YOU WANT

(SIMPLE. YOU DO THAT ALL THE TIME.)

2: Immerse yourself imagining

(Let yourself forget about this reality temporary. Think about the little details of that life. Details in the things around you. Are you in a room? Who’s room? What is outside of the room? What can you hear?)

3: Feel the feelings you would feel while being present in that life

(Again, immersing yourself. Use your imagination to your advantage. Feel the shift in mindset.)

4: Do something mindless.

(Imagine yourself walking around or doing something that’s natural for you to do in that life. Something that doesn’t require much thought.)

5: THATS IT.

You just shifted and/or trained your mind to become familiar with your desired life.

HAPPY (kinda late oops) BIRTHDAY MIWA!!!!!!!! ignore the other two LOOK AT HER!!!! IT’S MIRABELLE MSUNDAY!!!!

greyscale versions + my very normal color ramblings below!

ok full disclosure i already had this post drafted before realizing that mira’s birthday was coming up. i kinda debated just posting the mira doodles on their own but!!! i want to talk about my craft/general color headcanons still. and the mira art is part of that!! so be warned. also, this is going to reference my post about my craft headcanons a lot so like. read that if you so desire.

i personally think that mira’s healing craft is some form of creative craft, since the game describes her holding her palms up when she uses it (iirc anyways). this doesn’t really have an effect on anything, but it’s why i decided to color it yellow!

(also i ended up making mira’s scissors craft a lot more orange than i initially planned but that’s ok!!! i think both of her crafts would be pretty Orange. just thought i’d mention that since it’s a bit different from my first post)

i already explained sif’s craft in my last post so now i get to talk about the change god!!!!!! this is like. probably the most out there in terms of my color headcanons? but i have a reason for that. since the change god is, well, a deity, i thought it would be fitting for their design to match the colors of the 3 craft types (red, blue, and yellow)! this was a little hard to work around given that i also try to give my vaugarde designs warmer color palettes, but i think it worked out!

i also gave them a few slightly different palettes, since i think it’ll make sense for the change god’s colors to be variable. they never look the same, so why would their palette look the same? + i’m indecisive and liked all of these palettes lol

sorry for the ramble! i really like talking about character design and i’m not. very succinct. thanks for reading all this (if you did, perfectly fine if you didn’t!), here’s the greyscale versions as promised!!!

shapeshifting is something that a basilisk will nearly always seek to do in solitude.

an act which temporarily blinds and numbs the creature from the surrounding world - they will be left completely vulnerable to it. defenseless. frozen inside the shell of their old form as organs and cells rearrange.

to shapeshift in front of someone is, therefore, the ultimate show of trust that a basilisk can perform.

do you guys ever think about that time she said her backstory was that she was only partially zombiefied and was fully conscious mentally while she ate and killed her family. and that she was a princess. i do alot.
