I'm the disgusting hypocritical reality of the human condition. Claim to need nothing but always desire everything. All the knowledge in this world and all the love I can get.
Eueyehehhehehehe
let's recap what we've learned about the United States in the last few days.
things that are terrorism:

a 42-year-old mother of 2 using the wrong combination of 7 words during a heated conversation with a call center employee at a health insurance company who was in the process of denying her health coverage.
things that are not terrorism:
mass shooting in a Black church to incite a race war
going to a BLM protest specifically to kill protestors
a neo-nazi running over a crowd of people, killing a woman

make sure you keep this guide handy the next time you find yourself interacting with your insurance company or any other millionaire, billionaire, or an individual who is part of a protected class such as a CEO or president of a corporation.
I just find the sentence "a question of sufficient luigi" hilarious
the amount of people in the replies saying “what career” lmao
Rare mention of a form of one of the instruments I play.
Why settle for gender euphoria when you could have gender euphonium???
I can't even
This would not be cool yo
I'm not going to leave this unmentioned as the news isn't doing enough to warn people. The short of it is, the bill which disguises itself as a means to make the web safer was written by The Heritage Foundation to give the FTC full authority on what's deemed safe on the web. Under the new administration, it will be used to censor LGBT content. We know this was the point, as its proponents have shared this exact plan. It can still be beaten if called and emailed their senators, making it clear what harm the bill will do I'll link pages that can give you a line to your lawmakers, a way to write to them, and also a petition to sign.. The former only takes two minutes, and the latter has a pre-written script if you need it. This is more than important enough for your time. Even if you're in a red state, some conservatives oppose this bill beleive it will silence conservative voices too, so if you think that line of reasoning would work better on them, go for it!
I liked this and I want other people to see it.
TOGACHAKO BC I CAN”T FIND ANY FCKN FANFICS ON THEM OML
She was cute, but a villain. Ever since our fight all alone I’ve been thinking. Why am I so weird?
I always had a little crush on Deku and I always thought about him more than anyone, but at the moment the only thing that takes up my mind is the young girl that was threatening to kill me.
She was cute.
—-
“Ochako?” She knew that voice. The green haired boy came up behind her.
“Deku.” she acknowledged, giving the boy a small distant smile. He seemed to notice as he came up beside her.
“What are you thinking about?”
“I just…” she trailed off thinking about the blonde girl.
“...think I’m weird?” she gave a small smile. Deku seemed to understand as he nodded in agreement.
“Me too”
She smiled thinking about why she wanted to help the young villain. After all she’s killed and hurt people yet she can’t help wanting to be by her side and can't help wondering about her.
Some days she would walk outside of UA hoping to maybe see the blonde girl again. She knew she wasn’t supposed to but she could help the guilt creeping into her mind as she thought about her recent fight with Toga. She had made the girl feel like she didn’t belong which constantly had Ochako falling into turmoil.
“You deserve everything that comes at you!”
….
“Yeah”
The small smile will never leave Ochako’s mind as the smile looked happy but her eyes held this deep sadness that made Ochako’s heart run laps. She had said awful things and she was trying to be a hero? She didn’t try to understand the girl nor did she even think about seeing her as human. She did take everything she had for granted and didn’t realize that the broken girl infront of her on that day yearned for those things. So what are these overwhelming feelings of just wanting to make things right and yearning for the chance to fight the girl?
As she was walking she heard scuffling in an alleyway. She found this weird as villains tended to just roam free after the whole war going on and whatnot. So who was hiding?
Ochako’s heart raced as she wondered if it was a civilian? Was it an ambush? Was it a child? Was it-
Blonde
“T-toga?” She let slip before she could cover her mouth.
She saw the girl hunched over eating a bird. Red eyes darted up and Ochako could’ve sworn she saw panic storming in those eyes.
Toga growled at her wasting no time launching at the girl she saw. Ochako fell to the ground with an “oof” and quickly put her guard up. She could easily make Toga float up and out of her way but something in her just let the girl pin her down. As she looked at the starved girl her eyes widened.
“You’re hungry” she said more of a statement than a question.
“obviously “ the girl sneered and that caught Ochako off guard. Usually the girl was smiling and swooning over her crushes and how she wanted to take their blood. So she caught the other off guard as well as she moved her head to the side exposing her neck.
She saw the girl falter and decided maybe words were best to explain but before she could she felt a sting where her shoulder and neck connected.
She let out a whimper as the girl drank her blood and felt the tears soak her shoulder. Her hand threatened to stroke the blonde hair and whisper words of encouragement but she just never got there. As the girl kept eating Ochako could feel her consciousness slipping. The world started turning black and white but she managed to croak out 4 words.
“You’re.. not… a…”
Toga paused and their eyes connected.
“Monster”
She let out her best smile before her mind went blank as well as her sight. However she didn’t miss the way those red eyes widened and the tears sparkled decorating the orbs as her reflection shone in the painted red.

Ochako woke up in front of UA.
“OCHAKO!” she heard a familiar voice yelling. She blinked her eyes open, breathing in harder than usual. She still felt lightheaded due to the loss of blood but the first thing she noticed were two cute little bandaids on her neck.
“Did Himiko do this?” she whispered to herself.
“What was that?” she heard Deku ask as he ran up to her.
Ochako just smiled, shaking her head to say it was nothing.
