Finance and Shipping ModWhat do you like about TogaChako?
Toga's obsessive nature is what draws me in to most of her ships, but the whole "do you think I'm cute?" feels like a big win for the lesbians/bisexualsPrevious Experience: Head, finance, and shipping mod for Mio Caro; head, finance, and shipping mod for Cup of JoJo; finance and graphics mod for DIVE: The Anazuine
Error, she/her
Intern ModWhat do you like about TogaChako?
My favorite flavor of ships are the ones doomed by the narrative. And for me, TogaChako was one of those I couldn't help but root for them, even if I knew it was never going to be. I swear the manga panel “you’re the cutest girl in the world” gets me every single timePrevious Experience: Beta reader for Symbol of Evil: The AFO Zine Anthology; beta reader and general discord mod for MHA 2024 Halloween Zine; writing mod for Star Struck Fan Zine
