~History repeats itself, somehow getting worse each time
I guess I should make an entry about what's happened? I don't really know what I can say that a ton of people are already saying everywhere. There's a pall over everything and everyone in real life or online. I'm angry and frustrated, despairing and hopeless and helpless, I feel sick and have a headache and food is like ash in my mouth.

Oh no, it seems like everyone is going through some difficult period currently, like literally everyone I know. |<
I'm sorry for the dire situation surrounding this election, better not to think about the future of the US at the moment. I don't know, it's always been for me like that. I usually visit only a few places in the Internet, daydream a lot and try not to focus on things out of my control. I could share some of my troubles if it'd make you feel less alone but I don't think that'll be helpful right now. XP
The universe doesn't care but there still are people who do. Some miracle should happen sooner ar later, I know it. You can visit Quonit's Discord server more often, we'll be glad if you do. :D
Aww, nice Larry and Kabu sprites! They do the same motions as in the game! It seems hard to portray movements with so few pixels, haha.
Hating your art is jarring, I'm barely holding on so I admire your passion. You draw things so fast and so often, it's astounding! :0
I can guarantee you the majority of people don't notice those ( ... )

There's not much I can do about it now but kind of brace myself for what comes next. It's not a great feeling, but what else can you do?
I should do some more art exercises some time, just experiment with some different things, haha.
The weird thing about the new Defrag page is that I came up with it in the shower on election night... of all the times to figure something out! I guess my mind was desperate to latch onto SOMEthing.
Alex is doing fine! He's actually coming to visit tonight and hang out, haha.

Hopefully the future isn't that bad.. We can bear it, no big deal.
Weirdly enough the Defragmentation page does feel like shower thoughts (if that even makes any sense XD).
Glad to know Alex is okay. 👍

Don't take this as an endorsement of Trump but I'm not surprised that he won (though I am surprised he won by such a large margin). I had a feeling he was going to take it when he slaughtered Biden in their debate. The DNC concinvicng Biden to step down from running again was smart but forcing Harris as the nominee instead of doing an emergency primary was not. Harris was never a strong candidate and she wasn't even a popular vice president. I understand why my democrat friends and families are upset (I'm an independent) but instead of raging at the results or Trump they need to hold the DNC responsible. Change must come from within.

america be like "he might be a felon the worst president we ever had commits election fraud staged and insurrection and even people voting for him find him annoying, but at least he's not a black woman". fuck this country.

Trump was such a coward, he backed out of a second debate with her after she crushed him, coward coward coward and he'll just get away with it. :/

True, she did win their debate and I would have liked to have seen another. However, Trump did technically do two debates so I don't really blame him for not wanting to do a third.

Literally today before I woke up I had a stress dream about it, where someone who I was talking to had the power to fix it but just wasn't and I just had to sit in horror as papers were passed. Some good laws were passed in my state, AZ gets abortion rights fixed in, but I just heard too much about the dangers of if he got re-elected. then he did. And I was like "we're not supposed to know the results until the end of the weekend, they were publicly planning to claim and early victory, there's obvious election fraud going on just look at these bomb threats everywhere" but everyone around me was already defeated. And then it didn't change. and I don't like being delusional but I couldn't yet accept it, either.
I've been doing about what you've been doing, I guess. I started another writing challenge at the begining of november and I've been working on that, but they're a bunch of oneshot request fics and everyone around me became too sad to engage with anything I wrote. But I kept writing anyways.
I heard some really good advice now. " ( ... )

California got some good things passed too which is something, and I know the presidential election isn't the only thing that got decided, other legislation is important, but I just feel so numb to it all. I think I'm in the denial phase of it now.

Here's text from a Tumblr post that phrased it better than me: https://www.tumblr.com/traumasurvivors/759474494556471296?source=share
"You are probably doing so much better than you could ever realize. The progress you've made is admirable. And the reason you don't realize this is because you're holding yourself to impossible standards. You deserve the credit for what you've accomplished."

It's hard to imagine! Especially in a dark mental state, haha.
