#please continue to take care of yourselves

[honeyhotteoks]

this has always been the reason that i do not talk about politics, and i will continue not to on this account at least. i just want to say, i know we are reckoning with what the results of this election are going to mean for ourselves, for our friends, for our family, and for the world at large.... and i know there's a lot of fear. i feel it too.

i just want everyone following me here to know that while i may not post about it here, i am participating in non-fandom related spaces in politics. i'm a voter in a swing state and i'm a committed leftist. fandom has always been a mental reprieve for me, but i want my readers and followers to know that i am engaged and active.

i will continue to engage in fandom forever, it brings me joy and it brings me safety and like minded people. i hope that you know my blog is a safe space for you and that you are loved. i hope through my work and my engagement in this fandom you can find a moment of relief from the real world that is often hard and without empathy. i hope i can give that to some of you like this fandom and so many creators in it give to me.

please take care of yourselves and your loved ones today, and do not feel ashamed to post about your faves, read fic, or lose yourself in kpop or any other fandom space. fandom is an expression of love, of safety, and should be a place for you to go in times like these.

much love to you all 💗

we are going to have to make sure fandom is a safe space for everyone because it’s about to be the only safe space for certain people to exist in

Quick message to all my American friends and followers

I love you all. Please stay safe. Take care of yourselves no matter what is happening. You will overcome anything and continue on living. You have to. <3

[intimidating-fettuccine]

This post is coming from me in my space of panic and resignation that I have been in all day, but I just. I felt the need to say anything at all.

Please do what you can to survive. This week, for the next few years, maybe forever. Please do what you can to survive. We cannot give up, we have to remain unified and continue supporting each other. That is all we can do. I don’t know what the future will look like, but we should be prepared to handle anything.

If you are like me, a female, I wish you so much support. With the rights we are about to lose, please keep yourself safe. Look into birth control if you can, especially IUDs or implants, I’ve been doing that myself. Please only surround yourself with people that you know are trustworthy. I’ve seen lots of women saying they’re going to be joining the South Korean 4B movement (not dating, having sex with, marrying, or having children with men), and honestly I encourage it. Even if you’d like to be a mother, it’s not safe anymore. If something goes wrong with your wanted pregnancy, there’s an incredibly high likelihood that you will not be able to receive care. That is a horrific reality, but it’s something we need to be aware of. If you are in a safe, loving relationship I am incredibly happy for you and I wish you the best. If you are not, or if you are single, do whatever you can to get to a safe place, please.

To any of my LGBT+ followers, please remain safe. Please, please, please be careful, with what you say, with who you talk to, with how you present yourself. I can’t even imagine how terrifying things might become, but I don’t want any of you to be ashamed, to stop being who you are. Just please be safe in how you do so. I wish you all so much luck and love because you all deserve to be free to express yourselves, to live as who you are in freedom and not be so heavily judged and prosecuted and punished. Please have safe spaces, and safe people to surround yourself with if you can. This blog will ALWAYS be a safe and inclusive space for you. I see you, and I accept you, and I support you so much. Please take care.

My support goes out to everyone who is about to be effected, because it is about to be more than just women and LGBT+ members, but I wanted to touch on those two specifically because they are the ones closest to me. I love you all. I’m sorry that this is how things turned out, but we need to keep going. We need to stay strong. We need to keep fighting and surviving because they want us to give in and we can’t do that. It might get incredibly tough next year, in the next four years or even longer, but you cannot give them the satisfaction. You have to outlive them, to prove to them that you can survive and that you deserve to be here.

I don’t particularly care if anyone thinks I’m being dramatic about this and I’m not trying to fearmonger. I don’t want anyone to be scared, but I can’t hide the fact that I’m scared. That I don’t know how things are going to look moving forward. But I care about each and every one of you.

Continue living with airport rules right now (doing whatever it takes to get to your destination of the future). He’s not in there yet. We are still safe right now. Please do what you can to prepare and to steel yourself for any outcome. But, for the next couple weeks, please just take care of yourselves. Indulge in activities you love, eat food you love, sleep as much as you can, take care of yourself as much as you can. You are not alone in this. Everyone that voted for her, we are all in this together. We cannot forget that.

I love you all so much. Please be safe. Know that you are not alone. Be strong, and be proud of what you fought for and who you are. You deserve to be here, and you deserve to be who you are.

[After seeing the support from my Canadian friends, ELIAS and MIA mods, I felt inspired to weigh in on behalf of my fellow Americans out there.]

[I am as shaken by the news as anyone else right now, but during times like this, I want to take a page out of CODY's book and say: Even when it feels like the world doesn't want you to exist, stay alive out of spite. Even when there are people against you, there are still so, so many people who will love and support you in spite of them. Surround yourself with them, and you will be able to persevere through anything.]

[I've come to understand that PKMN-MONOCHROME has become a source of comfort for people during times when they needed it the most. I hope to continue being that for you right now, as well. Thank you, and please take good care of yourselves.]

[marveltrumpshate]

Things are bleak and I'm sure many of us, U.S. and non-U.S. MTHers alike, are struggling to wrap our heads around what happened with the U.S. election. We're going to try our best to string together our thoughts soon, but for now, we know some people want to fuel their anger and despair into donating to charities doing good and necessary work so if you're one of them, we'll happily and gratefully include your donation in our total. We'll be continuing to process donations until November 7, 12 PM ET. You can email your donation receipts to marveltrumpshate@gmail.com.

The fight is more important than ever now, so thank you to everyone who's donated so far, whether it's through your talent/labor and/or money. Please take care of yourselves today. ❤️

[eemamminy-art]

Some of you might've noticed I don't talk about politics online, it's a deliberate and personal choice and will continue to be something I abstain from talking about but I do want to say one thing following the US election. I'm feeling quite devastated and finding myself spiraling down all the what ifs and anxieties and turmoil as much as every other American is today. My heart is so heavy. For all of the Americans belonging to marginalized groups, please take care of yourselves and stand together with your siblings. We will withstand this, as challenging as it may be. Benjamin Franklin once said "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." and I think those words are still very applicable to Americans today.

On my blog, I try not to talk about these things because I think a little bit of escapism can go a long way in such disastrous times. I'm still very much aware of everything horrible going on in the world and take steps to be informed and to stand against it in whatever little ways I can in the real world, but I like having a space to forget about the world and myself for a while. In times where I've let it be all I can think about, it's consumed me and I don't want to get to a place like that again.

But again, my heart is so heavy. I wanted to say something and just, get my thoughts out a bit. It is all I'll say about this though, I want to cultivate a space for escapism both for myself and for others. Please stay strong, do whatever you need to in order to survive and maintain your mental health as best as possible 💛

That last anon got me thinking, and if I can offer, for everyone feeling discouraged or hopeless: I see you. I understand your fear, and I feel it too. I'm a librarian in the Southern US, and already we are talking about the possibilities of what is to come and how we can continue to serve our communities through it all. Fascism works with fear. They want you to feel hopeless and afraid and alone. You are never alone. There is always hope to be found. I am with you, because you, whoever you are reading this, are in community with me. Just as I am in community with you. Even if I have to drag my community (you included, reader) kicking and screaming and bloodied through these next 4 years, we will survive. Find resources in your local community, and help out. The library system I work for has a community garden at multiple library branches for food to grow. We plant native plants to help attract native pollinators. We offer lots of free programs to help build and strengthen our community. Look into your local library. Community and mutual aid organizations near you. Things will get worse before they get better, but they will get better. Take care of yourselves. Don't stop advocating for policies that will leave the world better than we found it, love the people around you, and breathe. One breath at a time, we will get through this. Things will be exhausting, and very scary, but the sun will rise again. Things will get better. Please stay around long enough to see it.

MIS ch.6, p.172 - Lights On

You can also find this page (and all the ones before it) on these sites: Comic Fury Tapas DeviantArt Now that we've checked up on (almost) everyone, let's really get the ball rolling here. The next several pages will be sticking with this crew, and it will run for a few weeks.

So we open the scene with Theo, Eiji, and Belial, now on Oleander Street where they've been told they can find the thieves. Theo is frustrated because searching for the thieves isn't quick and easy. Eiji is frustrated because he wanted to handle this alone. And Belial seems a bit more than frustrated, if we're being honest.

Everyone's a little tense (relatable). It's been a long day (very relatable). Hopefully, these kids won't get overly emotional and say or do things they know they shouldn't. ***

Also, just so you all know: I'm not going anywhere. Shit's scary right now for us in the US, and there's a lot of despairing going around. I definitely don't blame anyone. I'm not going to sugarcoat it: I feel it too. That said, as miserable as I am today, it's all the more reason to keep at it. It is my job to write comics about found families, self-acceptance, recovery from trauma, and hope in dark times. And maybe it's obvious, but I think people are going to continue to need stories like this for a while yet.

My plan after this is posted is to take the day to myself. Eat some comfort food. Play some Metaphor:ReFantazio. Open some virtual Pokemon card packs. Do some light reading. And stay offline as much as humanly possible. Just… do everything in my power to ease up a little. And then it's back to work. I hope you'll be there to read what comes next.

I love you all, so please, take care of yourselves. No matter how hopeless it feels, don't give up. We need to all be in this together.

Hi!

I'm disabled and have no income, and my mother who I rely on for basic necessities has been emotionally abusive towards me surrounding finances. Even in a perfect world, she wouldn't be able to help enough, as health problems are expensive.

paypal (dot) me/kadastra

If you are able to, any amount would be a huge help, truly.

If I get several hundred dollars I can address some bigger health issues that my mom won't be helping with, but even one dollar is a dollar I can spend on my continued survival in ways beyond what my mother is willing and/or able to do.

Thank you for reading! Please take care of yourselves ❤️❤️❤️

[pinkmoonzzz]

I have already heard about the suicides happening. Please stay yall, please. we will get through this together. We need to continue to fight and live. Take care of yourselves today and your loved ones.

[katcoquette]

I’m not going to begin to try and conceptualize my feelings this morning but please please take care of yourselves, especially if you live in a red state like I do. A couple things to think about urgently:

If you’re using birth control/do not want to get pregnant for the foreseeable future, please consider an IUD. They last 5+ years and can be removed if you decide you do want kids. Birth control will not continue to be accessible, and I know it can already be hard to get.

Make sure you’re up to date on your vaccinations (TDAP, HPV, Hepatitis, etc.). The concepts of a plan include putting an anti-vaxxer in charge of public health & safety.

There are 10,000 other important things to remember & prepare for & work through for this presidency, but these are the things I’m doing today.

Lastly, to the non-Americans- millions of us did everything we could to prevent this from happening, and we are more scared than you can imagine. Grouping a country of 335 million people together and dismissing us all is ridiculous. We know better than anyone what the impact is!! Help us continue to fight.

& please add to this!! My brain is trying to comprehend so many things, I know this is not all that’s important.

My inbox is open to anyone who needs a friend 💙

[lastoneout]

Like I just want to make it very clear right now, no matter who you are, if continuing to expose yourself to me is hurting you then I want you to block me. I am not important, I don't have any delusions about me deserving to be given a platform, the thought of someone upsetting themselves silently to spare MY feelings is concerning and makes me feel gross. If you don't want me on your dash unfollow, block, filter my username, ffs please just take care of yourself. There is so much negativity and pain in the world, don't take on more of it for the sake of a random stranger on tumblr. If you're keeping me around to spare my feelings at the expense of your own sanity then block me. I would never ask someone to keep torturing themselves for my sake and it concerns me that anyone would think I would be hurt by them deciding they'll be happier if they couldn't see my stupid fucking tumblr posts anymore.

You have my permission to leave if I'm bothering you. You also have permission to talk to me if I've done something that you consider upsetting, can't promise we'll come to an agreement but I won't bite your head off for going "hey this was hurtful to me", my family has been like that my whole life I make a point of trying very fucking hard to not emulate the behavior because I know how much it hurts to try to speak up for yourself only to face more abuse.

You don't need my permission to block me. I want y'all to take care of yourselves, especially right now. Don't sacrifice your mental health for me, the thought of that happening is so much more upsetting to me than getting blocked ever could be.

Usually I wouldn't post something like this but uh hey as a PSA y'all don't have to notify me when you block me. I block people all the time for dozens of reasons up to and including "was mildly annoying where I could see" and I fully embrace y'all doing the same. This doesn't hurt me at all, I don't even recognize the person who sent these asks I promise you, you do not have to let me know you're blocking me to like. Protect my feelings. Just block me, it's fine.

If This Is To End In Fire by Jiksa | E | 4306 Apocalypse makes it sound a lot more glamorous than it actually is.

It's Been a Minute Since I Called You by winterschild | nr | 5336 “Hi, mum. It’s been a minute since I called ya. I know you won’t get this, but I’m going to leave a message anyway.” He didn’t want to feel alone. In order to cope with grief, Louis has been paying for his mum's phone so he can leave her voicemails to calm him down. One day, when he forgets to pay her bill, the number disconnects and is later given to Harry Styles, a baker with a kind heart. On a drunken night, Louis leaves another voicemail, but how will Harry respond to this man, who sounds so broken? OR This is a self-indulgent, Louis centric fic about grief and a very kind person who takes concern for the small Doncaster boy with a somewhat broken heart.

Always Keep You Next To Me by lululawrence | nr | 8325 Louis jumped when the passenger side door opened and Greg somehow folded his entire lanky frame into the car. “Hey, thanks for waiting for me,” Greg said with a small smile before buckling up. “Do I get the honor?” Right. Louis couldn’t drive safely with Will’s remains in his arms. It was just ever since his mom had handed the urn over to him last night, he hadn’t been able to bring himself to let it go. He’d even curled up around it on Will’s childhood bed as he called his cell over and over again, just to hear his voice once more. Fuck. When Louis' twin dies, Louis decides to take the birthday road trip they were meant to take together with Will's best friend Greg instead. As they both mourn Will's death and celebrate his life, Louis and Greg become closer and maybe start to heal a little bit too.

Keep Driving by dead_tobeginwith | M | 11726 The first time Louis picks him up, it’s raining. He slides into the backseat smelling like hospital, like plasters and cleaning products and burnt coffee. He shuts the door and leans against the window, folding his arms protectively across his chest. He sighs heavily and closes his eyes. There’s a crease between his brows. It must have been a long day. Louis feels it when one of his knobby knees starts bobbing an uneasy rhythm. Bad news, then. Or waiting for bad news. Sometimes purgatory is the worst kind of hell. Either way, he says nothing. Louis watches his breath fog the window in the rearview mirror. When he drops him at the station, there’s a little frowny face fading in the misted glass. _________ OR Louis works as a driver contracted through the local cancer institute. All of his clients are associated with the hospital—mostly patients and their families heading home. One rainy afternoon, he picks up Harry.

You Might Want to Marry My Husband by Rearviewdreamer | nr | 24528 When Harry’s husband dies, he asks one thing of him; to find love and happiness again without him. It’s a request that Harry is happy to disregard, until he meets the one person who is impossible to ignore.

like a timebomb ticking by infinitelymint | M | 31734 Louis loses everything. Harry's still there.

we should open up (before it's all too much) by disgruntledkittenface | M | 43129 “I’m not–” Harry breaks off, his voice strangled as he clutches his phone in his hand. He takes a breath and looks up, trying to keep the tears threatening to spill over at bay. “Louis, I’m not very good company these days. I–” “Harry,” Louis interrupts, his raspy voice soft and soothing. “I get it. Sometimes it’s just easier to be alone, yeah?” Harry nods, blinking back the last of his tears. “But it can get lonely,” Louis states. Harry nods again even though it wasn’t a question, finally looking back at him. “So why don’t we try being alone, together?” Struggling with grieving and depression since his dad died, Harry has never felt so alone. It’s too much to cope with on his own, but he feels like a burden when he tries to open up with people. Then he meets Louis.

Plant New Seeds in the Melody by 28sunflowers | E | 58700 After losing his husband in a tragic car accident, the last thing Louis needs is to keep running into popstar Harry Styles, who David was quite fond of. Obviously, that’s exactly what keeps happening. But as their unlikely friendship blossoms, Louis realizes that, maybe, having Harry in his life was the only good thing that came out of his adverse circumstances. Harry could be just the right person to help Louis find trust and intimacy in someone new.

shelter as we go by fondleeds | nr | 75094 Louis looks at him like his words might break him, glass about to splinter, one wrong footfall away from shattering into a million tiny pieces. “Hey,” Harry breathes, and he knows, meeting Louis’ eyes, that his words could break him easy as anything. He almost wants Louis to bring his boot down. - AU. Nova Scotia, 1968.
