A fresh Christmas present for the BlueSky crowd: my take on the 2036 election for WE SHALL OVERCOME.

Republican infighting reaches a fever dream high as the moderate and MAGA wings of the party collide, while AOC continues coasting on the success of her progressive policies.

Been sitting on this for over a few months now, thought I'd share it here as part of me posting my past infoboxes onto Twitter and onto here.

DEATH'S HAND IN MINE

What started out as a simple server poll about what Megalopolis character would win 2028 eventually became this.

The "original version", for anyone wondering. Noticeably outdated to some extent

The 2024 election in WE SHALL OVERCOME, slightly overhauled to fit what actually happened (along with a bit of pre-June optimism that Democrats would just very narrowly hold a trifecta).

SHEARS ARCHIVE: CASSANDRA SPENCER
what happens when you combine a nascent interest in 70s music, bingewatching daisy jones, and a music game by @capricefrenata.bsky.social and LawfulInsane? madness incarnate.
welcome to the weird and wacky universe of "get to the top (of the pops)".

SHEARS ARCHIVE: THE CAUSE OF HUMANITY
crafted this over the course of a few weeks after getting frustrated that hal jordan left AH.com. with hal revealing to me over discord that he abandoned UACOT entirely, this serves as effectively the final UACOT iteration — he's moved onto other projects.

HILLBILLY EFFIGY: Vance vs. the Forces of Decency
~~~
Based on a post by @atpm.bsky.social and @loyaldemocracka.bsky.social

High off of the success of 2028 against Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro, it looks as if the GOP has another mandate in their hands.

Until AOC came along, that is.

Thought I'd debut my stuff on here in style: here's part one in a series of infobox collages based on the V/H/S films.

I've attempted to make each one as stand-alone as people; regardless, each one requires at least some basic knowledge of V/H/S through V/H/S: VIRAL. Enjoy!
