i’d be a homie hopper for the 141 😩
dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.
no getting up. no looking at the flag.
everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

could i please request a blurb w hotch like the scaring off a creep one u did with james 🥹🫶
Thank you for your request! fem!reader, tw unwanted advance
When a creep at the bar won't leave you alone, you look for the most intimidating man in the room. You know it might make things worse for you, but his suit jacket screams businessman, maybe lawyer, and while lots of lawyers are scumbags, he's standing with another man and two women, neither of which are under his arm, so you take your chances.
"Hey, I'm talking to you." A cruel hand tightens around your wrist.
"I already told you I have a boyfriend," you say, pulling your hand away from the creeper's reach.
"I already told you I don't believe it," he says.
You rag your hand out of his touch and weave through people, until you're close enough to almost throw the businessman off his feet as you slot yourself under his arm. He stiffens, and his friends all react defensively, but luckily he puts up his hand and nobody tries to tackle you.
The creeper is a couple steps behind you, and he doesn't see the strange reaction your 'boyfriend' has to your hiding in his side, thankfully.
"If you don't leave me alone," you say as bravely as you're able, hand curling with real nervousness into the businessman's shirt, "my boyfriend's gonna ask you outside."
Creeper looks at you, shocked, and then at the businessman with raised eyebrows, as if to say, Is she fucking for real?
The businessman's arm settles properly around your shoulder, his hand braceleting your naked upper arm.
"Did you hear her or not?" he asks, and his voice is so steady, so commanding, he startles not only the creeper but you, too.
"I can repeat it for you, if you'd like," says his dark-haired friend. She's almost as fierce as he is.
Finally, finally, your creeper admits defeat and turns away. You watch him walk all the way to the door, and then you turn around and hang your head.
"Sir," you say, "I am so, so sorry to just barge into you like that."
"Are you hurt?" he asks.
You look up, blinking. "Oh, no, not really. He grabbed me pretty hard, but that's when I came up to you." You smile at him and his friends. "You're the most intimidating person here. No offence."
He rolls his eyes at the wave of his friends' raucous laughter.
"He absolutely is," says a shorter blonde woman, grinning.
You nod your apologies at all of them and turn back to the maybe-not-businessman, who's really quite handsome both smiling and glaring. You decide you like the smiling more.
"Could I buy you a drink?" you ask. "As an apology? Or a thank you."
"No." He holds his arm out like he might steer you away and your heart drops, but he adds, "I'll buy you one. If that's alright."
There's nothing forceful in his offer. The pit fills. Excitement blooms.
"That's alright," you confirm, words coloured by a tell-tale happiness.
He guides you to the bar with a big hand behind your shoulder. Good-natured laughter follows from his table of friends, as well as a short but enthusiastic cheer of, "Go Hotch."
"What's a hotch?" you ask, perplexed.
He laughs, a light, airy thing, at odds with his stern looks. "No idea. My name's Aaron, by the way."
Me when the Mando season 3 trailer dropped the day after TLOU premiere.
