Good article by David Hunter on how to survive the Trump presidency, both on the personal and on the political plane.

There is hope — 10 ways to be prepared and grounded for another Trump presidency

The key to taking effective action if Trump wins is to avoid perpetuating his goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion and disorientation.

Can we talk about it? We're going to talk about it.

The fact that when Toga first uses Uraraka's Quirk, she looked all goopy and almost "incompatible" with Uraraka's appearance? And at that time she used said Quirk to kill?

But the second time she changes into Uraraka, she changes into her to save Uraraka's life and their faces are nearly seamless with each other?

I'm posting this from my Twitter so I don't have to screenshot it (I'm tired and running a fever bear with me) so it's gonna have a bit of different wording:

Man I had stuff planned to post on here and on Twitter (same stuff I just wanna post both at once) and now I got a back to back sickness. That's to say: I have art but I'm currently very very sick so it's gonna be a hot minute until I can post it.

Always when I'm productive do I suddenly get smacked down and told "nah you can't show what you've done the past several weeks".

Like I went back to class last week, got sick, got better and now I got sick again. I got bad luck I fear.

cloudmicmonth25 prompt 1 - First Encounter!!

I don't draw them very often but I like to think "first encounter" can mean many things, like being heard/acknowledged. So that's what I did.

The prompts are under the cut for those who want to participate!

I wanted to make two quick posts today (both will be coming within the next hour) that has to do with both Easter and Trans day of visibility! No art associated with either since I am getting slammed by school work again but I do want to acknowledge both. 💜

How does Hizashi serenade Shouta?

Spoilers for the Vigilantes Manga specifically the School Days Arc because that's what I have to talk about with Hizashi mostly.

Alright here we go. Starting off with the screenshots from my Twitter (a portion is cut out of one because the response was from the OG just talking about how Hizashi was just a boy/kid when they lost Oboro)

(link to the og thread I qrted for this discussion below ⬇️)

Okay let's talk about this. I didn't say a lot in regard to my actual thought process but I have got to talk about it.

First of all: The way in which Hizashi is completely fucking shattered. He's partially mask off in terms of like his entire mental state being shifted into hell. He literally looks about ready to bawl his goddamn eyes out, like he's going to entirely lose himself.

He does technically lose himself, he loses more Hizashi Yamada, the loud "happy" teen with a voice quirk. It's his persona he has aside from Present Mic which I want to say at this point does in some way exist. Maybe not as we know it in the main manga but pretty damn close.

When I say he forced himself to glue the pieces of himself back together and "cope", I mean like he's literally gluing himself back together as he's putting back on his smile. He physically is forcing himself to be happy just for a moment. He goes into the mentality of "I need to be strong for others (Shōta), everything will be okay" when it isn't okay.

It isn't okay here and it isn't okay fifteen years later when that façade entirely crumbles again. I always bring up when I in some way write about Hizashi in general pre-timeskip, post-war that he wears a cracked mask with pieces falling off of it. He really does and this mask probably started earlier in time but ended up becoming worse once Oboro literally was dead in front of him.

He puts up the front when his world view is crumbled, shattered to pieces in front of him that he's still happy-go-lucky in a sense. It's jarring because many people in this situation would've outwardly shown how devastated they are. He starts off that way too and as everything progresses, he doesn't give himself the time of day to process what's going on and for the next fifteen years, he still doesn't give himself that.

The shock and horror we see here? Yeah he gives the same when he's faced with the horrible reality that he's losing his "friend" (Kurogiri/Oboro) again and watching it happen in real time.

Like I have so many thoughts on this y'all got no idea. This ain't even the half of it-
