Are you for Ukraine or Russia? I'm leaning towards Russia.
I hardly ever get anons anymore, but I really started pondering this question. For people who followed the conflict in Donbass from its very onset, the whole situation meant something else. In 2014-2015, we were all analysing the events at the front, the politics, the possible developments. And one by one, all our heroes died, disappeared, or were replaced. And the conflict turned into what his now open war between two sets of oligarchs, propelled by money and foreign interests. I have never hidden the fact that I favoured the Russian position; but what dawned on me after the first few weeks is the meaninglessness of it all. The Ukrainian position is often an array of hysterical, nonsensical positions that is often repeated ad nauseam by virtue-signalling, physically attractive and blindly Europhile Ukrainians who live abroad - and who have no connection to the forgotten soldiers dying in the trenches. And for what? Ukraine is done for either way, there will be no reconstruction, just a rump state increasingly populated by the elderly and the disabled, as everyone else emigrates to become a cog in the smothering suburban lifestyles of Western Europe. At the same time, the Russians have destroyed the legacy of one of the greateast European cultures in terms of softpower, and will be left to China's devices. Prigozhin showed that there is no real interest in fighting a war properly, the important thing is continuing to destabilise energy markets so the oligarchs can keep banking on the crisis. Who even talks about Donbass anymore? I feel disgusted with it all. So much Slavic blood spilled for nothing, under the auspices of competing interests that care little for the people. The truth is that the real enemy is hardly ever the guy sitting in trench opposite yours, but more often than not is the guy sitting in your capital city calling the shots from his desk

Hogwarts Batfamily
So I thought I'd do my own take at sorting various members of the Batfamily into the Hogwarts Houses.
PART 1 (main)
Some of these characters seem like they'd be easy to sort but I spent a ridiculous amount of time going back on my choices, switching them and switching them again. This is the end result, tell me your thoughts :D
Bruce Wayne/Batman: Ravenclaw
Even though Batman has Gryffindor traits like courage and standing up for those who can't for themselves, Batman, and consequently Bruce Wayne, is mainly a Ravenclaw.
This is the World's Greatest detective, he has contingencies upon contingencies, even for his greateast allies. He prepares, has millions of plans and his mind is his greatest weapon. It's not by chance that there are so many debates over who would win- a super powered character or Batman with prep-time. He is that good.
Alfred Pennyworth: Hufflepuff
Alfred is the embodiment of a Hufflepuff. He stands by Bruce no matter what, his loyalty is one of his greatest characteristics. He is humble, hard-working and trustworthy, he'll always be there for his family and they know they can always count on him.
Also he does always make/have great snacks.
Dick Grayson/Nightwing: Hufflepuff
Dick was one of the hardest to sort. He has a lot of Gryffindor qualities like his leadership skills and courage but at the end I'd still put him on Hufflepuff.
He deeply cares for everyone around him, he is caring and attentive and he's one of the greatest support systems for his younger siblings especially when Bruce is being even more alergic to feelings.
Dick is someone you know will always be there for you and who you can count on to have your back.
Another point in the Hufflepuff board is his ability for the light, he is the original boy wonder, he took this great tragedy that happened to him and used it to fuel him, not as a way to get revenge but as a way to protect people and be there for them. He is the light in Batman's darkness, he's the one constantly surrounded by darkness but is the first to offer a kind word or smile to anyone who needs it.
Jason Todd/Red Hood: Ravenclaw
Another tough one and slightly more controversial. People usually put Jason in Slytherin (because he is the anti-hero, the sarcastic tough guy) or Gryffindor (for his impulsiveness and bluntness).
I disagree, I was torn between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor but Ravenclaw ended up winning. There's a lot of misconception around what is necessary to be in a specific Hogwarts house. Even though Jason has a different moral compass from the other Bats, that doesn't make him a Slytherin. Yes, he did a great deal of planning when he was returning to Gotham but I believe having this ability to thoroughly plan things is more a consequence of the bat-training than a Slytherin tendency.
About Gryffindor I agree that his bluntness, courage and stubborness could make him a strong candidate but going even further I reached the conclusion Ravenclaw is the house for him.
He is a book worm, and while I understand that is not the only condition to make someone a Ravenclaw (I am a bookworm and not a Ravenclaw), it all adds up. His thrist for knowledge even when he was Robin (it's canon that he loved school), his plans and preparedness as a Ravenclaw symbol instead of a Slytherin one, even his quips about classic literature. He has always shown a skill for learning (academically or otherwise) and what is more Ravenclaw than challenging the notions everyone else believes and using critical thinking to reach another conclusion and stand by it (the moral compass thing)?
Tim Drake/Red Robin: Slytherin
Here it was between Slytherin and Ravenclaw, but Slytherin easily won.
It can be argued that Tim possesses the greatest mind in all of the Batfamily (even against Batman), he outwitted Ra's Al Ghul in this Red Robin run.
The first of many Slytherin traits, but if you want even more proof, here:
This is the person that staged a shooting against his public figure, commiting to months of physical therapy just so that no one could connect him to Red Robin;
He was the only one that believed that Bruce was alive and so he went on a solo journey to prove this, not looking over the means to achieve his end (including creating Red Robin to do what Robin couldn't and allying himself with Ra's Al Ghul). And thanks to him they were able to rescue Bruce from the time stream;
Like Batman he has contingencies and detailed plans to stop not only villains but heroes as well if necessary;
He prepared a plan so complex that, while Tim did nothing but watch it unfold, Captain Boomerang would be presented with various choices that would lead to his death (he did this as a way to avenge the death of his father);
And finally and most importantly, he was not chosen for Robin. He made Bruce make him Robin. He knew Batman needed a Robin, needed his light in the darkness and so, armed with the knowledge of Batman and the Robins' identity (which he figured out when he was 9) he made his case to Bruce and never gave up until he was made Robin.
Tim is determined, manipulative, driven, a perfectionist, well prepared and sometimes ruthless. If this doesn't make him a Slytherin, I don't know what will.
Damian Wayne: Hufflepuff
Most people would sort Damian into Slytherin, given his initial holier-than-thou attitude and the importance he gives to blood legacy.
These are clearly a product of his upbringing and as we continue to watch Damian grow we keep seeing new aspects of his true personality shine through.
His love for animals and all who belong to the animal kingdom is an obvious one, but also the protectiveness he shows towards those he holds dear, like his favorite sibling Dick or his best friend Jon Kent.
So, if you see past the hard exterior, I think you'd find an unconventional but true Hufflepuff.
(He'd also like to be in Hufflepuff to be closer to Dick, even if he world deny ever expressing such a feeling)

Denmark, 0! (I'm so glad they added an all option!)
!!! ok here we go :D
1) what would their social media page/activity be like: i've discussed this w/ a friend but i think denmark is the most technologically capable after sweden! i think on twitter he's a little more professional (but he loves rting feel-good stuff) BUT he shines on insta. it's full of artsy pictures of the danish countryside and embarrassing videos of him and his friends on his stories :,)
2) what animal they remind me of: i don't care that it's predictable that man is a puppy!!!! manga denmark is a golden retriever but anime denmark is a yippy chihuahua with that fucking voice
3) my thoughts on their design/aesthetic alone: LOVE!! i think his canon outfit is really nice compared to.... whatever the other four are doing!! his hair is dumb but it's dumb /affectionate /i love him
4) physical headcanons: i got a few! he's an early bird!! and a light sleeper. physique-wise he's the second tallest nordic and he has BIG ass arms (an axe was his main weapon so!! makes sense to me!) he has a huge sweet tooth + he loves pastries!! but his favourite is whatever norway bakes because he's a softie :) as for actual food.... this man survives on sandwiches hot dogs and beer. get well soon x
5) social headcanons: denmark is the nordic with the most friends outside of the group!! finland comes close, because everyone loves finland and he has estonia & hungary, but i think denmark's outside friendships are more involved! a strip that really stuck with me is one during the denmark-norway period, where he goes to the netherlands and asks him to give him the buddy price on weaponry and ned agrees despite how he usually is :,) within the group, i see him as having an older-brother-but-kinda-dad relationship with iceland. sweden and him are close now and they're just the brothers who had a fallout but now r coping by insulting themselves jokingly (only when they're a few drinks in sometimes it's not a joke). he and fin only became close in later centuries but their personalities are super compatible so they're great friends!! and he and norway... oughghhg you're talking to dennor lover #1 here HAH to me they've been basically on-and-off in love for 1100 years or so :,) i'll go more into it in a future post so i'll stop here but!! yeah!!
6) psychological headcanons: i feel like i covered most of this in my denmark analysis!! but hm yeah for me his greateast fear is for sure isolating his family again. and despite how carefree he acts, i think he weighs his decisions very carefully because of what happened in the past when he didn't. i think he's actually really good with dealing with anger in modern day (he's had a lot of practice) but he regrets how he used to be before. speaking of before!! i love to think abt him from the viking era to approximately the late 1500s just... cocky bloodthirsty denmark is really fun to explore and i think people should play it up more instead of making him p much as sweet as in modern times! i dont think he wouldve been anything like that to anyone but his family and own people (also animals btw this guy loves animals 100%)
7) ship(s) with them that i like or at least consider: in terms of like... my version of canon i'm a dennor soloshipper i think :,) BUT i find denmark/norway/finland/sweden fun to think about!! also denmark/estonia is a rarepair i think is veryvery cute. and some classic nedden never hurt anyone!
8) made-up connections with other characters that weren't in the canon (friends, enemies, whatever): yes!! estonia as i just mentioned! he was danish land once and he's a nordic fanboy now so they have to have some kind of relationship! also prussia; i know they do have the whole awesome trio thing going on, BUT i think historical denmark & prussia is not spoken about enough. the 2 were on the same side all the time back then!! finally i find it really funny if he and poland get on each others nerves HAH again because of historical reasons!
9) headcanons about their past: again covered a lot of these already but!! here's one that's a little different. denmark was the first to become christian, and i think he would've annoyed the fuck out of norway and sweden (who were still norse pagan) about it! sometimes it just got him exasperated eye rolls, sometimes it got him beheaded, yk how it goes
10) content about them I'd like to see more of: anything i love denmark sosososo much more iceland & denmark content!!! i adore norway & iceland don't get me wrong but they for sure overshadow ice & dan when it comes to familial dynamics and it's a shame! also i think a lot of the historical content focuses on the viking era, the fall of the kalmar union or 1814, and i'd like to see more of him in the 1500s-1700s!! he was up to interesting stuff!!

An Invigorating Walk
Yesterday Ginger and I took a nice walk to a park new to the both of us. How great it is to be able to walk with someone, talk, or even stay silent. Sharing this little moments and enjoying nature, no matter the season, is one of my greateast pleasures. We saw a pair a swings and couldn't pass the chance of having a little fun, when we left, a cute squirrel posed for this picture.
Have a nice day and do something nice for yourself! -McBread

Hey Ari, I just saw your post about wanting to write something small but not having inspo what if you wrote about the first time the reader ever heard Bakugou laugh/or smile at them?
Tumblr media
half-way through | k. bakugou
☆ tags ;; secretary au, gender neautral reader, fluff, sfw but minors don't follow im an 18+ blog
☆ wc ;; 1.2k
☆ a/n ;; this is so.. so sweet.
☆ synopsis ;; your boss is a stoic man, apparently full of surprises.
Tumblr media
Worming your way into Bakugou's good graces has proved to be a very difficult task.
That's not for lack of effort, though. When you were hired for his job at secretary many months ago after several rounds of recruitment and a slew of cut-throat interviews - getting the job had hardly seemed like an accomplishment. The most appealing part of working in the Dynamight offices was most of all, the benefits.
Unlimited PTO, healthcare, and hundreds of positive employee reviews about the uplifting office culture. The fantastic hourly pay, opportunities to climb the corporate ladder, and most of all - notoriety that came with a position was something you blindly set your sights on. Job hunting after college had been kicking you in the ass and the chance, even if slim, was one you were determined to take at the time.
So you set your sights on and performed your best employee act through at least 3 rounds of interviews. Stone cold, competent, with an edge of manipulation and business prowess landed you the title. You're told you'd be working as a secretary for a prominent hero.
You didn't know that the prominent hero would be Dynamight himself. You didn't even find out till your first day on the job, walking into his massive office to meet the one and only Bakugou Katsuki.
Who, by all accounts, is absolutely gut-wrenchingly terrifying in real life.
The first thing Dynamight ever did was give you a 5 minute staredown in his office. Hands crossed over his chest, red eyes narrowed. The first words your boss ever said to you were as followed.
"Haah, more fresh meat huh? We'll see how long ya manage to survive,"
The words made your heart fall out of your ass back then, but looking back - you understand what he meant. Working for one of the greateast pros of all time meant the work never ended. When something was solved, another thing popped up. You've learned some important things in that time.
For example, the public image of Dynamight and the private actions of Bakugou Katuski have a few stark differences. One, Dynamight is a loud-mouth cocky bastard who never wins without a snide jab. Bakugou Katsuki is like this, but only about half as much. Otherwise he's introspective and quiet.
Two, Dynamight on the field loves the blood and guts of a good battle. Your boss is a clean freak and hates excess mess, frequently commenting on the state of your desk.
Three, Dynamight is great at giving cocky grins and charming smirks in photos and magazines. But you have never seen your boss genuinely smile in the near year you've been working in the agency.
You aren't sure when you came to the conclusion that he never did. It's not to say he wasn't happy in your presence. Sometimes on work trips or when something funny happens, you catch the barest glimpse of a smile or laugh. It's always disappeared before you can appreciate it. But you've never seen your boss actually, genuinely laugh before.
You thought about if you had the guts to make an attempt at such a task, but came up short on confidence. After all, the man is still your boss. Over these last few months, you'd developed an self-admitted fondness. There's something about his oafish behavior and clumsy attempts at being a better person that you personally find endearing.
But you're pretty sure you're silly crush is a one-sided, inappropriate thing you'd be better off ignoring. You like your job. It's challenging, fun, and good. It'd be stupid to let your feelings get in the way of such a thing, so you don't engage with that more than you have to.
Somehow, you've ended up alone with the man you call your boss though. At a company picnic no less. He didn't exactly ask you to stay by him, but from the death glare you received when a co-worker asked if you wanted to play frisbee, you gathered you were trapped.
Still, a little down-time didn't hurt. The weather is lovely, warm and bright. You got to wear that cute summer outfit you'd been looking at for ages, and a funny floppy hat to keep the shade away.
You've been reading a book quietly, and your boss has been laying down with his eyes closed.
"Do you come to these shitty work events a lot?"
You blink a little, closing your book. When it's face down in your lap, you look. Your boss is now laying on his side, arm stretched with his face propped on his elbow.
Shitty work events? He owns the company?
"Yes, sir. I work here, it's part of my job,"
"You don't have to attend like.. legally or whatever the hell,"
"No, sir, I don't. But keeping good relations with other departments and office politics is a part of my job. People will be upset if I don't attend?"
He pauses.
"Really? That fucking sucks,"
You don't say anything, giving him a neutral stare before a question pops into your mind.
"Speaking of, sir - may I ask why you decided to attend today? Normally you skip out on these thing,"
He shrugs.
"You told me it would be good for my PR coupla weeks ago. Didn't hurt,"
For some reason, him taking your very brief suggestion makes your whole body suddenly feel flush. You tuck your head away.
"Oh...very well then,"
He lays on his back, but his eyes are still looking over at you. He thinks for a second.
"If you attend so many of these, do you even like 'em?"
"....I attend my work as necessary,"
He offers you a look.
"But?"
".....Sir, are you sure you want to know my personal feelings? Is that necessary?"
"I'm dyin' to find out, actually," He says back, voice gruff and dripping with faux sarcasm.
"....Well, if you're asking me personally I think seeing people drink and embarrass themselves publicly is a fucking nightmare and that engaging in repetitive small talk makes my head hurt. Otherwise, it's tolerable. People just take it way too seriously and -,"
You stop dead in your tracks, realizing that you just what you said. Your heart sinks as you immediately ready yourself for an apology, remorse filling your whole body.
That is until you hear a loud, loud laugh.
It startles you to the point you don't register it until you open your eyes and see it. Your stone cold, mean, stoic boss is laughing. Full body laughing at you, hand over stoma and smiling. Not a feral, cruel murder laugh but a genuine laugh that breaks off into what could almost be called a giggle.
Your heart hammers so loudly in your chest, you almost think you're going to pass out. You just stare at him slack jawed as he keeps laughing, to the point he's clutching his stomach.
"Hah! I fuckin' like this side of you," — He says, through a few escaped giggles — "Hearing a goody two-shoes like you say that. Shit,"
"Sir... you..."
When he calm down, a smile lingers on his face. He goes back to closing his eyes, but you're left entirely speechless. You can feel all the heat rush into your cheeks. Oh my god.
You are so so fucked. Beyond fucked.
"You should talk like that more. You're a competent secretary. I'm not gonna fuckin' fire you for having a personality, so try getting the stick out of your ass and be yourself. I like you better like that,"
You take a deep breath, stomach flipping.
"O-okay.. yes sir,"
He grins.
"Good"
