Hiii may i request hcs on bakugou having bad days? Like i know he's super disciplined but what if he has a bad day or days? What does he do? Is he always on a strict diet? Does he always study ? How does he cope with bad days?
Hey!!! I am always willing to talk about Bakugou, so thank you for this ask!! XDDD 🧡🧡🧡
Hmmm I think it largely depends on what caused him to have a bad day and his relationship with his classmates. For the sake of simplicity, let’s say he trusts some of them enough to help him out:
If he feels like he’s falling behind with training or schoolwork:
I think he’d first pinpoint where exactly he feels like he’s falling behind. He’d check the feedback from his teachers and watch videos of his training if they’re available to examine where he thinks he lacking and why
Once he gets that info, he’d try and perfect his weak points, by either training with someone that gives him a challenge in a particular area (like the versatility of Todoroki’s quirk vs the strength of Kirishima’s) or altering his schedule if it’s not a problem with fighting but more a personal struggle (like stamina or flexibility)
If it’s academic related, then I think he’d go through the things he got wrong, maybe communicate with teachers to get them to explain further if he’s really struggling.
Either way, for both of these, I think he’d be even more strict with his schedule and diet, wanting to ensure that he’s in the best shape as he improves.
If he’s overwhelmed/overstimulated:
I think he’d want to be alone most of all, probably in his room. He’d need time to recharge, bc as we know, he’s pretty introverted.
He’d probably create a really calming atmosphere in his room, probably with his back towards a wall and a low warm light on, bright enough to not strain your eyes while reading, but low enough to not be overbearing. Maybe with blackout curtains as well. He wants to feel like he’s the only one in the world.
Depending on how he’s feeling, he would probably still do work tbh XDDD if not, he might just read. I think he’d have noise canceling headphones on, playing some gentle instrumentals, as that music doesn’t get his adrenaline pumping.
He’d probably have a lot of things to fidget with as well. Nothing that makes noise, but just to have something to do with his hands if he’s focused.
I think he’d have small snacks and/or nutritious things in his room for times like these when just the idea of leaving makes him feel vulnerable or anxious. When he feels better, he might make it a point to adhere to his usual schedule more closely.
If his depression becomes too much:
I think with this one, he’d very much need to rely on his friends and those he trusts. Maybe not explicitly, but they’d know when to step in.
My immediate thoughts are Kirishima, Kaminari, and Aizawa. To help prevent his spiraling, Kiri and/or Kami would probably just go to his room to chill. Maybe not talking much, but just to spend time with him, encourage him to engage or study just with their presence.
Sometimes, them just being there might help him to get out of bed and get a bit of work done.
I think Kami, Kiri, and Aizawa would get him to eat more than if they weren’t there. Maybe giving him some of their food or snacks during lunch, a jelly pouch, bringing water to his room and getting him to drink it, etc
I think he might slack on his studying and training outside of school, maybe even inside of school if it gets too bad, but his friends and classmates take enough notes to help him get back when he feels better. Kiri might be more organized with assignments and due dates so it feels less overwhelming when Bakugou is able to come back into himself
His friends in general would hold back on the teasing as well until he’s more up for the back and forth that they usually have
They’re not subtle with their help, but they’re not constantly getting on his case about it or being obnoxious. It helps Bakugou to come out of his shell when he’s ready while also preventing him from falling too deep

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?
I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?
In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".
Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.
This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.
Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.
The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.
[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]
There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.
This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.
[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]
As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.
But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?
Edit: Added image IDs. I apologize to those using screen readers for forgetting them. Please reblog this version instead.

my top bit of advice going into the new year: compliment people. especially strangers. literally everyone you interact with if you can. when you buy coffee in the morning compliment the barista's tattoos. when you're chatting with a coworker tell them that by the way you like their outfit. always find something they've chosen to do on purpose. nail polish, jewellery, tattoos, hair colour/style, statement accessory, outfit, etc are all good bets. things people hope will be noticed. things that aren't too personal so it doesn't make them uncomfortable (eg probably not their physical features). i've gotten into the habit of scanning everyone i talk to for something about them that i think is cool so i can tell them. it's a great habit because it makes me notice people and realise just how many neat little details there are in people's presentation of themselves that might pass me by if i wasn't paying attention. and it brings out so much joy. you'd be surprised how much it disarms people to receive an unexpected compliment from someone they don't know. it is the most sincere smile you will see all day long. it feels nice to make people happy but it also means you win the social interaction. establish dominance by complimenting a stranger's earrings and disappearing into the fog

frankly, the people whose kneejerk reaction to bisan asking for a global strike form the 21st-28th is to say that it takes years to organize a general strike are really unhelpful! no one is saying otherwise, but palestine will be a smoking crater if we all wait for years to do anything - bisan is asking us to do something now. Like are we only supposed to do something if we can do it perfectly??? At some point it’s a valid critique about the work that goes into social movement, and at another point I feel like some people are just trying to absolve themselves from not putting any effort into observing a week of economic inaction.
like idk! I get it, okay! People have bills to pay that don’t magically go away for a strike, we don’t have nearly enough social infrastructure in place to support people to fully stop going to work for a week. But fuck, dude! Stop immediately responding in such a defeatist way! Cut out unnecessary purchases! Try to shop local! Put more effort into promoting Palestinian voices online! Attend a protest, call a local rep, do something!
