I think the fact that I can't find full, uncensored footage of the Montgomery riverfront brawl, hours after it hit mainstream media, despite the fact that it lacked anything truly graphic, is a commentary on the news and journalism available in the United States of America.

Catching Hands, Feet and Chairs
To be honest I don't really fucks with reality TV, especially those programs started by whyte folks where Black people commit violence and hostility towards each other for the benefit of views. Outside of RPDR which I left years ago for Mr. Charles problematic new behavior as someone with new-found wealth, I didn't have any of this unscripted drama in my life. I felt this was better for the soul. In the same vain I had forgone watching the systematic violence that police et al performed on Black bodies. My mental health was tentative on a good day, I didn't need that poison taking up residence in my head.
But yesterday while Tumbling, a video showed up in my feed, it seemed to be some ClipClock footage showing some kind of brawl. And listening to NPR at that time I hadn't heard of any news that correlated to what I was seeing, so I just thought it was some random occurrence. It would be later that I would hear about the brawl by an Alabaman boat dock started of course by some obstinate whyte folks.
I will readily admit, when it started to auto-play I truly didn't know what I was watching. Some Black dude wearing something that clearly looked like a uniform threw his hat in the air and these white thugs were attacking him. I was like #WTF is going on, and truly I wanted to pull myself away but like a well-crafted drama it kept getting better. Another person who was initially out of frame seemed to be running to this brother's rescue. I was aghast because these white terrorist were beating this man like he had no one who loved him.
What was taking me out was the background comments from the onlookers who were clearly also Black, you can hear their outrage and more and more quickly responded to the ongoing melee happening on this dock, including one young blood who literally jumped in the water and swam over to assist his skin-folks. I saw sisters wearing traditional summer-wear the long dresses that Black womens love to wear, come on down to let the Karen's know, NOT TODAY KAREN! #👊🏿
I had mixed feelings of bemusement, shame, pride, anger and satisfaction as I saw these clearly entitled whyte folks catch hands, feet and chairs! Seriously this has been the highlight of two-thousand and twenty three in my humble opinion. All the shenanigans going on in this country it felt like a societal releasing of steam, as these Black hands rose up to defend one of our own. I felt such solidarity with everyone there and the feelings of being sick and tired of being sick and tired. I realize that the whytes are also human beings, but I think I am not alone in feeling like they think they should take up all the oxygen not leaving any for anyone else. That any space that they occupy is obviously and naturally theirs!
Trust, I am not even mad at chair-guy beating some sense into those whyte skulls and I know that collectively we will protect his identity irregardless of the authorities pursuit of him. These people inadvertently were expressing the frustration we all have every day for the micro-aggressions, the unapproved loans, the unsigned lease, the job not awarded, the raise that never came, the promotion that went to someone else, to the missing that were never found, to using our pain as a tool in some political game. We're done! And this even for a moment was a healthy way to let of some steam off and beat the ass of the figure-head of white supremacy!

Todojima HCs
Pairing: Todoroki x Yuken (High&low: the Worst X)
A/N: Holy fucknuts, I had no idea these would end up being so long. My Todojima brain rot is really starting to show 💀 Also, I know I switch between past and present tense in this, don’t @ me
Thank you times a thousand to @livelaughlovehyunjin​ for beta-ing this! 💕
Tumblr media
They never agreed to meet, but Todoroki and Yuken crossed paths on the dock at least once a week
Yuken always thought Todoroki was indifferent to his presence, but there was one week in April when Yuken stayed home sick
And Todoroki noticed
He found that, while still relaxing, fishing just wasn’t as nice without Yuken around
Because when Yuken wasn’t there, Todoroki couldn’t glance at him every few minutes to take in his pretty profile
And Yuken couldn’t pretend not to notice
And yet—
Each man had convinced himself that there was no way the other one could ever want to be with him, albeit for very different reasons
Todoroki was certain that Yuken was far out of his league, and Yuken believed that Todoroki wasn’t a romantic person, period
They were both wrong
But what to do? After all, Yuken knew that Todoroki often stared at him and ask him where he was when he was away
But that didn’t mean he had a crush…right?
But Yuken is too curious to ignore it
So he starts pushing boundaries
Each day at the dock, he inches closer to the stoic, black-haired person next to him
Todoroki should warn him to keep his distance, lest their fishing lines get tangled up
But he doesn’t
Instead, Doroki asks Yuken one day if he’s hungry, suggesting they pause fishing to go to a street food vendor
Yuken knows better than to miss an opportunity, so he nods nonchalantly
But his heart is pounding
They eat for about half an hour, then walk along the riverfront until well after dark
It’s the first time Yuken sees Todoroki smile, and he thinks there’s no way this is actually happening he is so cute but then—
Todoroki laughs
Yuken says something offhand, and Doroki actually laughs
At the same time that Yuken is thinking he needs more of a smiling Todoroki in his weekly routine, Doroki is thinking to himself that this is the first time in a long time he’s actually had fun
Their conversations run for hours and it becomes increasingly evident that they’re on the same wavelength about a lot in life 
Including not talking about their feelings
Todoroki doesn’t want to, and Yuken doesn’t need to
They communicate by acts of service and physical touch
Todoroki starts bringing Yuken coffee at Housen so he can recharge between practice fights
And Yuken learns how to properly bandage knuckles so that he can help Todoroki patch up after brawls
Thinking, Maybe if I hold eye contact while I do this, he’ll get the hint??
Doroki’s breath hitches in his throat the first time Yuken does this
Not only because he’s not used to someone doing that for him, but because it’s Yuken and he’s so close and is he holding eye contact on purpose??
One thing that the two have in common is that no one expects passion from them
Todoroki is unwavering, relentlessly coolheaded, and Yuken is an easygoing jokester
But they love the same way that they fight— focused and ferocious
Even then, Yuken was taken aback at Todoroki’s eagerness the first time they kissed
Because Yuken may be an expert flirt, but Todoroki is full of pent-up Gay frustration
Yuken was watching Todoroki practice kicks on the punching bag in his homeroom at Oya, and the little voice in his head had started to become an impatient scream
He moved away from the wall and stilled the punching bag as Doroki watched, also moving closer without realizing it
But Yuken doesn’t stop at that, stepping closer and closer until the only thing keeping them from each other is the bag itself
And neither of them is certain what’s happening, but they know they don’t want it to stop
Yuken moves around the bag until he can feel Todoroki’s breath across his lips, and he’s sure that Todoroki can hear his heart pounding
Their lips meet and it’s strange at first; unfamiliar
Yuken pulls away first, but only barely, to look at Doroki and make sure that this is real
And then it clicks into place
And Doroki is pulling Yuken back to him by the back of his neck, kissing him with such urgency that Yuken has to wonder if he thought about doing this
They both did, many times, and by the time it happens, it’s long overdue
And fishing is never quite the same
