masterlist

seungcheol -

he always says he wants to be seen as a strong and dependable man, so i think he'd love your feminine disposition (have u seen him with jeonghan ..) he would love paying for your self-care days and would have standing appointments for you to get your nails, lashes and hair done every month (already paid for in advance obviously!!) he'd adooore any time you wore a cute lil sundress for him and would insist on buying you cute lil dresses and accessories so you could show them off to him.

jeonghan -

he has experience with maintenance of long, luscious hair, so he'd always be braiding your hair an drying it for you. gives me the vibe that he would find a feminine s/o adorable. would adore the cute lil charms you put on your nails, letting you do his own nails should you ever ask. he'd join you in your self care days where you did a bunch of facials and take long scented baths. he's a lil feminine himself so you guys would fit perfectly together.

joshua -

he seems very put together himself so i think he'd really feed off of the way you'd routinely get your nails and lashes done, how you'd do your skin care in an almost holistic way. he would love getting to pick your nails and getting you cute lil night gowns to wear. he'd integrate into your beauty routine very well.

jun -

he'd lose track of time just staring at you with stars in his eyes. wouldnt even realize how often he'd just. stare. but he couldnt help it, okay? he'd just find you so amazing and sexy and confident and the prettiest thing he'd ever seen. he'd happily pay for your nails and carry the pretty new bag he'd just gotten for you last week if it meant he could admire you from afar whenever he wanted.

soonyoung -

just constantly dumbfounded by the absolute deity he believed you to be. you were just so confident and sexy and put together and those dresses you wore made your legs look so good that he just- but that's besides the point! soonie would be nothing short of obsessed with you, always in awe of your new set of nails or the pretty new lipstick adorning your lips. super attentive to all the efforts you put in your appearance.

wonwoo -

he'd be so bf carrying your bag and complimenting the cute charms on your nails. would constantly look at you with love and wonder in his eyes any time you modeled your new outfits for him. would humor you any time you asked him if you could paint his nails to match yours. would run his hands over your body any time you wore those soft nightgowns of yours.

jihoon -

he'd be so easily flustered by just how pretty and sexy he found you. you were just the embodiment of feminine and put together. would admire every detail about you, from your nails to your hair to your perfume. he'd be a little intimidated by you, knowing that one look and he'd be on his knees for you. in short, he'd be obsessed with you in every way imaginable.

seokmin -

lol constantly swooning over you and any and every one of your feminine habits. would be fascinated by your nails and the way you always managed to have them done. would love how you always had cute lil outfits ready for every occasion. he'd just be eternally fascinated by every detail about your appearance and how meticulously you had yourself put together.

mingyu -

certified bf who's obsessed with paying for you to get yourself done all over. monthly nail set? he's paying. lashes touch up? his wallet is yours. new wardrobe? his black card will take care of it! he'd feel a brand new sense of satisfaction seeing you all dolled up every day knowing he could provide for you and simultaneously have such a pretty s/o always so well-put together.

minghao -

he'd feel a little cocky at knowing that he was dating the literal embodiment of sexiness and confidence. you two would make such a perfect match bc of how well established your individual styles were, making minghao get a sense of pride at having such an enviable partner. he'd love your feminine aura and would feed off of it.

seungkwan -

he's always tagging along with you when you got a mani or a pedi, joining in to get his treatments done too. would word-vomit compliments at you any time he saw you, always telling you how pretty you looked with your new dress or how cute you did your hair that morning. bf but also a bestie to do all these cute lil feminine things with.

vernon -

i dont think he particularly cares if his partner is feminine or not, but he'd enjoy when you'd ask for opinions on what nails to get next or whether you should do a mud mask or a peel-off mask that day. would absolutely join you when you did self-care days and do masks with you. he'd also like how soft you always felt after those aforementioned self-care days.

chan -

he's so boyfriend coded to me, i think he'd swoon over every little feminine detail about you. would notice your new nails every time you did them. would compliment you even when all you did was get a small trim. would get you flowers that matched your nails at the moment. he'd also have a thing for seeing you in those pretty lacy nightgowns. they felt so soft under his touch when he held you at night.

[oleander-nin]

I don't know if ☄️ started an odd uptick in your named anons (🍵 and 💤 for instance) but regardless I love them dearly hello Ollie's new anons >:D

Anyways I've been preoccupied with stuff but it's the weekend now so I thought,, hm. I'm bored I'm going to send Ollie things

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

SURPRISE IT'S CHECKLIST TIME:

If it's later in the day, have you eaten yet?

(I think your time zone is 1 hour behind mine if I recorded that correctly-)

Did you sleep well? (If you didn't and you're tired, take it easy please)

Who am I kidding you're tired all the time anyways lmao I HOPE YOU CAN NAP OR SOMETHING <3

Take your meds if you have any!

Writing this reminded me to take mine-

Hows the hygiene? Brush your teeth or shower if you need it

I JUST NEED TO REMIND MYSELF TO BRUSH MY TEETH MORE SO I FIGURED MAYBE OTHERS DO TOO-

DRINK WATER

Drink water. Everyone needs to drink more water. If you think you've drank enough you're probably wrong drink more water-

This applies to anyone seeing this btw not just Ollie <3 hello Ollie's followers are you annoyed yet? >:)

✧─── ･ ｡ﾟ★: *.✦ .* :★. ───✧

That concludes basic stuff so now I'm gonna give extra little things I need to remember for myself that I think might apply to you or others seeing this lmao

(I've been feeling kinda bad about not drawing as much as I wanted. so I figured this might apply to you too)

There's nothing wrong with not being productive for a bit. Whether it's writing or drawing or whatever thing you feel pressured to do.

There's nothing wrong with taking your time to do those things! There's a multitude of reasons but I can explain them another time

Something something about that comparison I made in an older ask about the human body/mind and a machine. You remember that one? (I can't get out of the ask thing to find it because it'll get rid of all this but Y'KNOW THE ONE)

DO NOT FORCE YOURSELF TO DO THE HOBBY IF YOU'RE NOT FEELING IT! BRO IT'S FINE YOU'RE GOOD YOU'RE NOT RUNNING OUT OF TIME-

(This next one's just something I realized recently. Idk if it's true for everyone but I'll share it anyways) I think even things I LIKE to do are tiring. I don't know how. Drawing and even playing a video game is tiring. Talking to friends online is tiring. This only really becomes a problem if something else is leeching all my energy, because otherwise it's definitely ALL worth it. What I'm trying to say is that things might take effort even if you like doing them or if they're supposed to be a relaxing thing (like,, idk Minecraft. I still have to think and respond to things and reaction time and planning and blah blah blah these things take mental energy I often don't have) I'M JUST SAYING IT'S SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT- YOU'RE NOT LAZY FOR NOT DOING A THING BECAUSE IT MIGHT ACTUALLY TAKE MORE ENERGY THAN YOU THINK- (writing especially, in my opinion. Idk how you do it-)

MAN these are always so much longer than I want them to be but,, yeah I hope this helps you (or anyone else reading)

Remember self care y'all! and don't pressure or force yourself to do things (looking directly at you Ollie /lh)

Oh yeah also Ollie you give me the feeling you have adhd (saying that as someone with horrible adhd) but I won't go into that-

OKAY BYEEE ILY <3

So proud of you 8-bit, you started a fad/lhj

I have eaten :D. My stomach did it's job and informed me I was hungry for once. Have you?🤨 Also I have no clue what your time zone is lmao

I slept pretty decent! Not as tired as I was yesterday, so that's good.

But I hate my meds they're grosssssssssssssssssss. Did take them but bleh.

I just ate, I should go brush my teeth thankies-

Does milk count?

"Imagine a machine that needs maintenance. If you don't make time to schedule the maintenance, it'll break when you're not expecting it. That's the same for a human. If you don't schedule time for breaks, your body or brain will do it for you." This machine analogy? I do remember it and your incredible wisdom. I'll try to abide by it more😔

Also completely agree w/ your last thing. I like to draw, I like to write, but it sucks sometimes. Heck, I can't even bring myself to watch my favorite shows just because I don't have the energy to actually watch it. Thank you for the list of affirmations(?), I needed it. I've been trying to write, but it's getting harder with my interests split lol.

Don'e worry about them being long! I really don't mind, it's fun to read them. Ily2, bye!/plat

The Ultimate Roller Skate Buying Guide

Hey there, roller skating enthusiasts! Are you ready to take your skating skills to the next level? Well, look no further because in this blog, we'll guide you on how to choose the Top-Notch roller skates for professional skating. 

Whether you're a seasoned skater or just starting out, we've got you covered. So, let's roll into the world of top-notch roller skates and find the pair that will make you feel like you're gliding on air!

Why Roller Skates Matter?

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of selecting roller skates, let's talk about why choosing the right pair is so important. 

The quality and fit of your roller skates can greatly impact your performance on the rink. A well-fitted pair of roller skates can provide better control, stability, and comfort, allowing you to execute your moves with ease. 

So, investing some time and effort in finding the perfect roller skates is definitely worth it!

The Roller Skate Buying Guide

1. Determine Your Skating Style

The first step in finding the ideal rollerskates is to determine your skating style. Are you into speed skating, artistic skating, or roller derby? Each style requires specific features in a pair of roller skates. 

For instance, speed skaters need skates with a low-cut design and larger wheels to maximize speed, while artistic skaters prefer high-top boots for ankle support and manoeuvrability. So, figure out your skating style and keep it in mind during your search.

2. Consider the Boot Material and Fit

The next factor to consider is the boot material and fit. Roller skate boots are typically made of leather or synthetic materials. Leather boots offer durability, flexibility, and better breathability, but they require more breaking in. 

On the other hand, synthetic boots are often more affordable and require less maintenance. Regardless of the material, make sure the boots fit snugly around your feet without being too tight or causing discomfort. Remember, a comfortable fit is essential for an enjoyable skating experience.

3. Wheels and Bearings

When it comes to wheels, the size and hardness matter. Smaller wheels are ideal for speed skating, while larger wheels provide better stability for dance and recreational skating. As for hardness, softer wheels offer more grip, making them suitable for indoor surfaces, while harder wheels are better for outdoor skating. 

Additionally, don't forget to check the quality of the bearings. High-quality bearings ensure smooth and effortless rolling, allowing you to glide like a pro.

4. Safety First: Brakes and Protective Gear

Safety should always be a top priority, especially in professional skating. Look for impala skates sale that come with reliable brakes, preferably located on the toe area for easy access. Brakes provide you with the necessary control to prevent accidents and perform quick stops. 

Furthermore, don't forget to invest in proper protective gear, including helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards. Protecting yourself while enjoying the thrill of roller skating is essential for a long and injury-free skating journey.

Conclusion

Congratulations, dear readers, you've now become experts in choosing the perfect roller skates for professional skating! 

Remember, understanding your skating style, finding the right boot material and fit, considering the wheels and bearings, and prioritising safety will lead you to roller skate heaven. 

So, go out there, embrace the joy of gliding, and let your rollerskates become an extension of your body. Happy skating!

How Do Portable Saunas for Sale Compare to Built-In Options?

In recent years, saunas have become a popular choice for home wellness, offering a range of health benefits from relaxation to detoxification. If you’re considering adding a sauna to your home, you might be torn between two primary options: portable saunas and built-in saunas.

Both have their unique advantages and potential drawbacks. In this blog, let’s explore how portable saunas for sale Melbourne compare to built-in options to help you make an informed decision.

Cost and Budget

Portable Saunas: One of the most appealing aspects of portable saunas is their affordability. Generally, portable saunas cost significantly less than built-in models. Prices can range from a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars, depending on the size, features, and brand. Their lower price point makes them an attractive option for those on a budget or who are trying out the sauna experience for the first time.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in saunas, on the other hand, tend to be a substantial investment. Costs can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. This higher price is attributed to the materials, installation, and customisation options available with built-in saunas. If you have a larger budget and are looking for a permanent addition to your home, a built-in sauna may be worth the investment.

Installation and Space Requirements

Portable Saunas: As the name suggests, portable saunas are designed for easy setup and mobility. They typically come in compact, foldable designs that can be assembled and disassembled with minimal effort. Portable saunas are ideal for those who may not have the space for a permanent fixture or who live in rental properties where major modifications aren’t feasible.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in saunas require a more extensive installation process. They need a dedicated space, whether it’s a spare room, basement, or an outdoor area. Installation often involves construction work and professional help, especially for custom designs. This process can take time and may involve additional costs for renovations or structural modifications.

Size and Customisation

Portable Saunas: Portable saunas come in a range of sizes, but they are generally more compact than built-in models. They are designed to fit in smaller spaces and often accommodate one to two people. Customisation options are limited, with most portable saunas offering standard features and sizes.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in best saunas in Melbourne offer greater flexibility in terms of size and customisation. You can design a sauna that fits your specific space requirements and aesthetic preferences. Whether you want a large multi-person sauna or a unique layout with special features, built-in saunas provide more options for tailoring to your needs.

Heating Technology and Performance

Portable Saunas: Most portable saunas use infrared heating technology, which heats the body directly rather than the air. This can be more energy-efficient and may heat up faster than traditional saunas. Portable saunas are typically designed to reach and maintain comfortable temperatures, but their heating capacity may be less powerful compared to built-in saunas.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in saunas can use either traditional or infrared heating systems, depending on your preference. Traditional saunas use a stove or heater to warm the air, creating a higher humidity environment, while infrared saunas heat the body directly. Built-in saunas often offer more powerful heating options and can provide a more intense and consistent heat experience.

Longevity and Maintenance

Portable Saunas: Portable saunas are generally built with lighter materials and may have a shorter lifespan compared to built-in options. They are relatively easy to maintain—usually requiring just regular cleaning of the interior fabric and occasional checks of the heating elements. However, the materials and construction might not withstand heavy use over the long term.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in saunas are constructed with durable materials like wood, stone, or tile, making them more robust and long-lasting. They require more extensive maintenance, such as cleaning and checking the heater or stove regularly. The longevity of built-in saunas is generally higher, and with proper care, they can be a lasting addition to your home.

Resale Value and Impact

Portable Saunas: Due to their temporary nature, portable saunas may not add significant value to your home. They can be easily moved or sold if you decide to relocate. Their impact on your home is minimal, making them a practical choice for those who prefer flexibility.

Built-In Saunas: Built-in saunas can enhance the value of your home, particularly if they are well-designed and integrated into the space. They are seen as a luxury feature that can appeal to potential buyers. However, the return on investment will depend on the overall appeal of the sauna and the market conditions.

Final Words

Choosing between portable and built-in saunas ultimately depends on your budget, space, and long-term goals. Portable saunas for sale Melbourne offer affordability, ease of setup, and flexibility, making them ideal for those who want a sauna without a major commitment. Built-in saunas provide a more permanent, customisable, and high-performance option, but they require a larger investment and more extensive installation.

By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision that best suits your needs and enhances your home wellness experience. Whether you opt for a portable or built-in sauna, both options can provide valuable health benefits and contribute to a relaxing and rejuvenating lifestyle.

Why Hair Care Matters: The Importance of Nurturing Your Locks

Hair is more than just the loose hairs on our heads; it plays a big role in defining our identities, self-esteem, and general well-being. Our hair has a great deal of significance, from how it frames our face to how it expresses our style. Consequently, maintaining and taking care of our locks is essential to self-care and extends beyond simple appearance. Taking the time and making the effort to take care of your hair is important for the following reasons:

1. Self-Expression: You can express yourself powerfully through your haircut. Whether you choose a wild and free look or something sleek and professional, your hair serves as a canvas to display your uniqueness and individuality. You can make sure that your hair looks its best and appropriately captures your own identity and style by taking good care of it.

2. Confidence Booster: Your confidence can soar when you have a great hair day. In many facets of your life, you're more likely to feel secure and self-assured when your hair is shining, healthy, and well-groomed. On the other hand, hair that has been neglected or damaged may have the opposite impact, making one feel insecure and self-conscious.

3. Overall Health: Your hair needs to be properly cared for and attended to in order to stay healthy, just like any other part of your body. Your hair has to be regularly cleansed, conditioned, and fed to be healthy and vibrant. More protein, minerals, and vitamin content in a well-balanced diet also helps to create stronger, more durable hair.

4. Preventing Damage: Environmental factors, styling tools, and chemical treatments can all take a toll on your hair, leading to dryness, breakage, and split ends. By adopting a gentle hair care routine and using products designed to protect and nourish your locks, you can minimize damage and maintain the integrity of your hair.

5. Long-Term Maintenance: Investing in your hair care routine now can pay off in the long run. By prioritizing preventive measures and addressing any issues promptly, you can prevent more significant problems down the line and enjoy healthy, beautiful hair for years to come.

6. Emotional Well-being: Taking care of your hair may be a soothing and restorative habit. These self-care moments, which may include anything from pampering yourself with a pricey hair mask to giving yourself a soothing scalp massage or just taking the time to arrange your hair, can improve your general emotional health.

7. Professional Image: In many work environments, how you look has a big impact on how people see you. Professionalism, attention to detail, and a polished image are conveyed by well-groomed hair, and these qualities can enhance both your professional and interpersonal connections.

More than just outward appearance, hair care is about preserving and enhancing an important part of your identity and overall health. Making your hair care regimen a priority and spending money on high-quality products and treatments will not only improve the health and look of your hair, but it will also strengthen your sense of empowerment and self-worth. So, embrace the significance of taking care of your hair and show off your locks!

[fullofsadeem]

I’m not a low maintenance girlfriend. I cant believe I ever wanted to be. I put aside the “do I even like you?” To focus on the “please” begging you to care about me. If caring is too much to ask for, I’m sorry I’ll take my seat.

And that’s how I spent the last five years. Typing out text messages just to delete. Waiting in benches. Waiting on change. “I’m not a low maintenance girlfriend”. Even just admitting that feels strange. Because that’s what we’re conditioned to be and to want, the low maintenance girlfriend is a ghost who can’t haunt. Just existing on the sideline. A pretty and gentle face. She helps set the table on which she will never have a place.

But of course there are emotions, of course there are needs. Of course there will be stains when once a month my body bleeds.

“I’m not a low maintenance girlfriend!!” Says the scream that I let out. Because I have all of these interests. That you have never once bothered to even ask me about.

Did you know that I love the taste of coffee now? What’s the name of the song I wanna get married in? Did you realize that my favorite food, you have never once even tried to cook?. I’m not a low maintenance girlfriend. Not a plastic plant on your wall. Because I have better things to do than to just anxiously wait to see if you want to love me the way I deserve to be loved. To wait to see if you’ll ever make effort for me.

It took me a long time to admit that. That I deserve better even if I don’t believe that to be so. That maybe just maybe I might be someone worth getting to better know.

Im not a low maintenance girlfriend. I want the well planned dates, because if I invite you into my house, I will sit at the table and eat from my nicest plates. I will treat myself better if you can’t be bothered to see me. I’m not the low maintenance girlfriend when you deem it convenient to fall. I will have expectations. I will have things planned. Mostly for myself. But I could really use a hand. I’m not a low maintenance girlfriend because I’m not easy to please. If I was I wouldn’t be so hard on myself, My life would be lived in ease.

But there’s no excuse now, because I’ve given myself grace. I said “you don’t have to be a low maintenance girlfriend to feel like you won’t be replaced”. I’ve given myself time, love, so much space for something new. So no I don’t think it’s too much to ask for to expect the same thing from you.

How Car Detailing Restores Your Vehicle's Shine?

Is your car looking a bit dingy? Have you noticed the paint beginning to fade? If so, it may be time for some detailing. Detailing is a process that can restore your vehicle's shine and lustre, as well as make it look like new.

However, Car Detailing Chermside service isn't just about cleaning—it's about increasing the longevity of your car's finish and protecting it from environmental damage. Let's take a look at how detailing works:

Thorough Exterior Cleaning

The exterior of your car is the first thing people see when they look at it. It's also what gets dirty first, as dirt and grime accumulate on the body of your vehicle.

Cleanings start with a wash using soap and water to remove dirt, grime, insects, tar and other substances from the exterior surface of your car.

The next step is drying off any remaining moisture with an air blower or towel before moving onto polishing or waxing to protect against rusting away into nothingness (or at least delaying that inevitable fate).

Paint Correction and Restoration

If your vehicle has paint damage or scratches, you can have it repaired by a professional Car Detailing Chermside service. A car detailing service can also restore the shine of your car's finish.

The process of restoring the finish on your vehicle is called paint correction and restoration. It involves removing microscopic defects in the clear coat layer of your vehicle's paint job, which will make it look like new again!

Paint correction is done by hand or with an electronic machine called an orbital buffer (also known as a polisher). It takes time and effort to do this properly--but the results are worth it!

                  Interior Deep Cleaning

Car detailing is a great way to restore your vehicle's shine and make it look like new again. The process involves cleaning all visible dirt, stains, spills and odours from the inside of the car. This includes leather seats and vinyl surfaces as well.

You may think that you do not have time for this kind of work but if you hire professional Car Detailing Cannington, they will do everything for you including removing any odours from your car interior so that when they leave there isn't anything left behind for them to do next time around!

Attention to Detail

Detailing is a fine art. It's not just about cleaning your car or truck, but restoring its shine and making it look like new again.

Detailing is one of the most important things you can do for your vehicle because it extends the life of paint, interior fabrics and leathers. The best thing about Car Detailing Cannington is that it's affordable--you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on repairs if you keep up with regular maintenance (which includes washing).

So, what does this mean for you? Well, if you want to keep your car in tip-top shape so that it looks good when someone else sees it -- whether they're admiring its lines on the street or checking out its engine under hood -- then detailing should be part of your routine maintenance schedule!

Conclusion

A car is a large investment, and it's important to take care of it so that it lasts for many years to come. A professional Car Detailing Chermside service will help you restore the shine on your vehicle and keep it looking good for years to come.

Prostadine Reviews - [Customer Review] Is It Worth Buying or Overhyped Product?

Fitness is a lot more that just working out on a treadmill or lifting weights. It is truly a progressive routine, complete with plans, maintenance, and goals. Prostadine  Reviews It has many routines and pieces of equipment that require knowledge, strength, and patience. Do you have what it takes? Regardless of your answer, here are some tips to help you.

Benefits:

✔️Natural Formula

✔️Plant Ingredients

✔️No Stimulants

✔️Easy To Use

✔️No Chemicals

Hatha yoga practice is an excellent path to fitness. By performing the Hatha yoga Sun Salutation, anyone can enjoy 15 minutes to half an hour of gentle stretching, deep breathing, and quiet focus every day. This physical form of yoga relaxes the mind, strengthens and stretches the muscles, and loosens the joints. Performing the Hatha yoga Sun Salutation first thing in the morning and just before bed will make a big difference in your fitness level!

In order to maximize your fitness potential when lifting weights, be sure to eat plenty of meat. Meat contains plenty of protein and other nutrients that aid in muscle growth. Lean meat is best, while turkey chicken, and fish are good for you as well. The recommended serving is about 6 ounces a day.

Weight training is vital in a well-rounded fitness program. While not every program needs to concentrate on building muscle mass like a pro weightlifter, some attention to weight training is necessary for every fitness regimen. Weight training tones the muscles and makes them work efficiently. Prostadine This has a positive impact on overall health and fitness at even the most modest levels of weight training.

Do not think of the process of getting fit as a short-term exercise with a cut-off date. Fitness is a long-term commitment. In fact, it should be a permanent one. When building a fitness routine consider not just the immediate benefits but whether or not the routine is one that can be sustained indefinitely. Fitness is for life, not just for bikini season.

Try to avoid taking a pain-reliever pill directly after you work out, even if you are in some kind of pain or anticipate it later. Research has shown that these are actually as effective as a placebo when it comes to pain relief associated with post-workout time. They are also believed to suppress muscle growth, so they are best avoided.

If you dread the very idea of performing multiple sets of chin ups, try looking at it this way: rather than focusing on the effort needed to pull your entire body weight up, think about the effort needed just to pull your elbows down. Surprisingly, this makes the entire workout seem somewhat easier.

As you begin to recover from a painful muscle injury or strain, gradually increase the intensity and duration of your recovery workout rather than jumping right back into your previous workout routine. Prostadine  Reviews After each workout, apply ice to the injured area for half an hour, then repeat the process with added intensity the next day.

If you are a runner, even the way you hold your head can affect the quality of your workout. For example, most people tend to hunch forward when running uphill. By keeping your head up and focusing your vision at the top of the hill, however, you are allowing your airways to open more fully, making breathing much easier.

To improve your climbing skills, whether for rock or wall climbing, try getting tighter shoes to practice in. Get a pair that is so tight that you can easily stand, but you are not able to walk without discomfort. This may seem counter-intuitive to always getting well-fitting fitness gear, but doing this gives you optimal control of your feet and legs, which are essential to climbing.

Keep your workout machines and dumbbells in order. Use the smaller weights first and work your way up to the larger weight like barbells and bench presses, and then eventually work your way up to a machine. The smaller weights uses more of your muscle and you get fatigued easier.

Watch less television. Merely sitting and watching a few hours of tv shows means you are not up and around, which means that your body's metabolism is slowing down. Worse yet, chances of becoming obese increase with the amount of television that you watch. Instead of watching television, Prostadine try taking a walk or playing a game.

If you want to grow bigger muscles, then follow these instructions. First, you must determine how much weight to lift for a single exercise. Multiply this by how many times you lift this weight. You should aim to increase this multiplied number after every workout by lifting more weight or by increasing your volume.

If you need to build forearm strength for a sport such as tennis, use newspapers to get the job done. Lay them out flat and crumple them in your hands one by one. This actually works out the muscle you need most in your forearm, so crumple them up again and again!

When the main concern is working hard on your biceps and surrounding muscles, you should maintain a constant lifting weight at a steady pace until you are ready to advance. This is essential, because you can easily strain your muscles with poor form. The proper form is to extend the wrist backwards slightly and hold while you lift. Then, slowly release the pose and return your wrists to a normal position. This helps to build up your bicep muscles correctly and reduce risk of injury.

Study a little bit about how foods affect the body. Know what pasta does to your body compared to chicken. Understanding all of this will help you eat the right foods for your workout. Some foods should be eaten before a workout, and some should not. Get all the knowledge you can before starting.

Now you see that fitness is a lot more that just jogging on a treadmill. It takes a lot of work to sculpt the body you want. You don't want to overdo it and harm yourself, so why not take some time to learn how to do it right? The tips noted above should help.

8 Effective ways to deal with Sleep Disorders | Solh Wellness

Sleep disorders are a widespread issue that affects people of all ages. These conditions can reduce the quality and duration of your sleep, resulting in fatigue and difficulty performing day-to-day tasks. Fortunately, there are ways to treat sleep disorders and improve sleep quality.

Treatment for Sleep Disorders:

Create a Sleep Schedule

One of the most effective ways to deal with sleep disorders is to keep a regular sleep schedule. Going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, even on weekends, aids in the development and maintenance of your body's natural sleep-wake cycle, which promotes better sleep quality.

Create the most relaxing sleeping environment possible

The environment in which you sleep has a significant impact on the quality of your sleep. Make your bedroom a peaceful, dark, and relaxing space. To block out noise, use sleep aids such as earplugs or white noise machines, as well as blackout curtains to keep your room dark. Purchase a comfortable mattress and pillows if necessary.

Maintain healthy sleeping habits

Healthy sleep habits, such as avoiding caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol before bedtime, are examples of good sleep hygiene. Avoid heavy meals and strenuous exercise before going to bed. Choose light snacks and gentle stretches or yoga instead.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a therapy that can assist you in identifying and changing negative thoughts and behaviours that contribute to sleep issues. It can assist you in developing coping mechanisms and relaxation techniques to improve your sleep quality.

Sleep Therapy

Sleep Restriction Therapy is a type of behavioural therapy that helps people with sleep disorders by limiting the amount of time they spend in bed to match the amount of time they spend sleeping. This therapy aids in the restoration of your body's sleep-wake cycle.

Techniques for relaxation

Deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and meditation techniques can help you relax and fall asleep faster. These techniques aid in the reduction of stress and anxiety, both of which are common causes of sleep disorders.

Therapeutic Use of Light

Light therapy is the practise of exposing yourself to bright light at specific times of the day to help regulate your sleep-wake cycle. People with circadian rhythm disorders or seasonal affective disorders may benefit from this therapy.

Seek medical assistance

If your sleep disorder is severe or affecting your quality of life, seek medical attention. Your doctor may advise you to take medication or refer you to a sleep specialist who can assist you in diagnosing and treating your sleep disorder.

Sleep disorders must be addressed in order to improve overall health and well-being. Adopting healthy sleeping habits, practising relaxation techniques, and consulting a doctor can all aid in the improvement of sleep quality and the treatment of sleep disorders. It takes time and effort to develop good sleeping habits, but the benefits are well worth it.

Website Maintenance Tips Every Business Owner Should Know

While website owners do not need to keep their own sites up and running, it’s still very important for them to know how to manage their sites. Your site needs to be kept up-to-date, secure, and accessible with regular updates. Otherwise Google will not show it much traffic love. If you don’t have the resources to hire a full-time webmaster, then it’s a good idea to at least know the basics of website maintenance.

What is website maintenance?

Website maintenance is a vital part of the modern web, and having a solid website maintenance plan can mean the difference between a site that is running at peak performance and one that is, well, not. These days, site performance is more than just a convenience: it can mean the difference between a site that gets noticed and one that is never found. With search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo getting smarter, and the eternal arms race between hackers and defenders constantly in play, site maintenance has never been more important.

Why is maintenance important for the health of your website?

Just like your body needs regular checkups and stays at the gym to stay healthy, the same is true for your website. Whether you employ a professional or do it yourself, regular maintenance is important for keeping your site healthy. Having an active website is important for both commercial and non-commercial reasons. If your site is not maintained, it will lose Google ranking, attract lots of spam traffic and have poor SEO ratings which will lead to decreased profits and popularity.

When should you consider website maintenance?

Keeping your website up-to-date is important, but sometimes you need to focus your attention on it and not just when something breaks or it’s time to add a new feature. Depending on your business, you might want to schedule a maintenance plan only when your site has been down for an hour or when you have a lot of bugs because you can’t be up-to-date. For other businesses, it may be a good idea to schedule maintenance when things get quiet, so that you don’t disrupt any of your site’s visitors.

Who can provide your business website maintenance?

A maintenance contract is a great way to ensure that your site is running properly, and that your Internet hosting provider can quickly handle any issues that arise. Web hosting companies can offer all kinds of maintenance contracts, but you should take a close look before you commit. Some maintenance packages only provide basic services, and might not be worth the money, but others provide a lot more. For example, the company may cover security monitoring, so they can quickly fix any security holes that crop up, while others offer database backup services that are especially valuable if you have customer data stored on your site. 

Website Maintenance: Steps to take

Regular website maintenance is not just about updating your site or working on your site here and there, it is also about maintaining a healthy site on a regular basis. Being proactive with website maintenance can save you headache down the road and keep Google happy too. Following a simple set of steps can keep your website healthy and looking its best so your marketing efforts are optimized for success.

1.       Checking Your Website for Broken Links

Clicking on a broken link is a surefire way to ruin your online experience. The links on your website may appear to work perfectly fine for you, but there’s no telling how they’ll eventually behave for your visitors. Before going live, you should thoroughly check all of your website’s links for errors to ensure that all of the links you place on your website will take visitors to the pages they expect to land on.

2.       Updating Your Website CMS

If you are thinking about updating your website CMS version (Content Management System), you may be wondering how much work updating your CMS will be. Updating a CMS can be quite simple, or it can be a very complicated process depending on two things: how outdated your current CMS is, and what kind of CMS you are updating to.

When your website design company says “You need to update your CMS”, you might dread that moment. But it doesn’t have to be scary! For technically savvy people, updating a CMS may be a fairly easy task. But for those uncomfortable with php code and databases, it can be overwhelming. Sometimes it’s best to consider hiring an expert to update your website CMS for you.

3.     Update Your Website Plugins

Updating your plugins is a necessary evil that every website owner must face. It’s not the most fun thing to do, but without it, security holes and other problems can creep into your site and cause all sorts of trouble. We recommend you stay on top of your WordPress plugin updates; otherwise you can wake up to a broken website which may, or may not be recoverable!

4.     Browser Compatibility Testing

Browser compatibility testing is one of the most frustrating and time-consuming steps of our web development process. User experience is very important and while there are several automated solutions for testing website compatibility, many of them do not give you the advanced features you need to make sure your visitors can access your site and convert into a lead or customer! Be sure to test for all the issues your visitors can experience.

5.      Cleaning & Optimizing CSS

When you first launch a website, it’s difficult to imagine how to optimize your CSS. You might start with one file, your HTML, and everything seems fine, but then, as you add more features and functionality to your site, you start to have problems. At some point, your HTML may become too bloated to effectively describe all of the content you want to display. Further, CSS can be difficult to maintain, especially if you are not a designer. Optimizing every component of your website will make it easier to maintain while making it a more effective asset for your business.

6.      Testing Mobile Access

We all know that designing and building a site with clean, easy-to-use, mobile-friendly navigation is key to a site’s success. However, if your site isn’t designed to be mobile-friendly, you’ll be missing out on a large portion of your potential audience: Mobile internet usage is up 83% from 2013, and about 50% of all web traffic will be mobile by the end of this year. This is an aspect of site design that should be taken seriously, and while there are several free online tools to help you test your website’s mobile capability, there are several factors that should be taken into consideration when deciding on a mobile testing tool.

7.      Optimizing for Speed

We all know that having a fast website is important to us, but what is considered fast load speeds and what exactly are we trying to accomplish? Having a fast website is great, however, if it is not loading the correct images, or if it is not loading the correct content it may not matter how fast it is. Not sure if you are meeting Google’s expectations for fast speed times? Take a look at the many tools that are available to help you check your website load times. You can also check your Google Analytics for speed optimization information.

There are numerous factors that determine the speed at which a website loads. The top three factors in website loading times are the quality of the host, the website owner’s website maintenance schedule, and the website hosting company. If you’re unsure about the speed of your website, we can help you better understand! Nothing makes people leave a site faster than slow load times.

8.      SEO Optimization

Many website owners think that Search engine optimization is part of the process of website maintenance. This is a very common question we get from our clients. Maintaining websites SEO utilities is a part of maintaining a website. This includes plugins, optimizing new content and media, etc. But managing older content and media as well as “big picture” search engine optimization is more of an SEO service.

9.      Perform Test Purchases

When you update parts of your website, it’s important to make sure all functions are working properly afterward. Especially on e-commerce websites. Using test purchases is often the only way to verify that your customer-facing website is working exactly as it should. When you’re visually inspecting your website, you’re not necessarily looking for all functionality. For instance, you might be looking for a missing link on the navigation bar, or an error message that pops up when you try to add an item to your shopping cart. But if all that is functioning properly on the updated version of your site, and no one can actually place an order, you’re losing money!

10.  Back Up Your Website

Just like you back-up your documents, pictures, and other important files, it’s important to back-up your website as well. If you’re running a website, chances are you’re using a hosting service to help you keep your site up and running. This is great because it ensures you’ll always have a place to host your site, but there’s one thing you should know: your hosting provider may not back-up your site for you. And losing your website can be a real pain. 

If you’re using a web host that does not offer backup services, we can help!

11.  Update Copyright Notices Annually

Making sure that your site’s copyright information is up-to-date is a good idea on a number of levels. First, with the rise of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, you need to make sure that the information on your site’s copyright page is updated to reflect that you have registered your site with the U.S. Copyright Office. Most won’t have to worry about this, but it’s a safeguard against anyone who might try to claim that your site’s content is theirs.

12.  Review Legal Disclaimers

Websites are not static. They are a living, breathing document that requires regular maintenance. The same goes for your website’s legal disclaimers. In fact, an increasing number of court cases have ruled in favor of litigants citing the language in a website’s legal disclaimers as the reason why they have been defrauded or injured. If your legal disclaimers are out of date and not in sync with your website’s content, you may be putting yourself at risk for costly litigation.

13.  Make your site https / SSL secure

When you’re setting up a new website or maintaining an older website, one of the first things you should consider is whether or not you need an SSL certificate. What is an SSL certificate? It’s a security protocol that encrypts your website’s connection to users, and lets them know that the site is legitimate and has been verified by a trusted certification authority. “Free” SSL certificates used to be commonplace, but now that Let’s Encrypt has brought the cost down to $0, there are very few reasons not to have one.

For better search engine rankings and the peace of mind of your site visitors, go secure. Your Google Analytics and Search Console may need to be updated after you move from an HTTP site to an HTTPS secure site. Keeping track of your site and its security updates will help ensure the success of your business online. 

14.  Test All the Opt-in Forms on Your Website.

Sometimes website owners will contact us as they feel their website is becoming ineffective.  Maybe their conversion rates are decreasing over time. They stop getting calls, leads and sales. Interestingly enough, the cause of this problem is sometimes a broken contact form or form code errors on the website. Site visitors are literally unable to submit their email, enter their information for you to contact them, or even make a purchase. This is inexcusable! It’s imperative to test your websites forms and source code after each and every update to be sure they are still working properly. You could be losing out on potential customers email addresses, contact info or even purchases.

15.  Change Your Passwords regularly

You’ve probably heard about how important it is to change your passwords regularly, but why is that? It’s important because a lot of people don’t tend to write down the passwords to their online accounts, so if someone gets hold of your password, then they can easily access your accounts without you knowing. Not only that, but when you change your passwords regularly, it means that if someone DID find out your password, then it would only be good for a short period of time. For something that is as important as control of your website, it’s worth taking a few extra minutes to change your passwords regularly.

16.  Keep websites contact information updated

Keeping your contact information current is a necessary part of owning a website. If you can’t be reached quickly and easily that could mean lost sales, lost customers, and frustrated friends. If you want to make sure you stay in touch and don’t miss any of the action, keep your records up to date. This will allow your clients to reach you quickly and easily. Your website is your online salesperson. It’s your online representative. Keeping it current will keep you competitive in your field.

17.  Fix Broken Links and Images

If you own a website, you probably know that images are important but also break from time to time. A minor code update can wreak havoc on a website. Now, if you are like most people, you may ignore any broken image you find. This is a bad idea. All that broken image can do is confuse your audience, turning them off to your site. Luckily, there are a few really easy ways to fix broken images on your site, and the solution that works best for you will depend on what kind of website you have.

What benefits does a well maintained website provide?

A well maintained website provides many benefits. A well maintained website attracts more clients, and a well maintained website is easier for potential clients to navigate. There is a direct correlation between the popularity of a website and the amount of maintenance that is done to keep it current. A website is a form of advertising that has a much greater potential than any printed advertisement. A well maintained website is also much easier to navigate. Visitors to the website are less likely to become frustrated and leave.

We always use clean code, design search engine friendly sites and can even keep your site maintenance current with content updates, good search ranking and any type of functionality you’re looking to achieve!

A fucking werewolf? Bradley is a fucking werewolf? Well, that makes the hunt all that more difficult, doesn’t it, when your quarry is a ten-foot-tall muscle-bound killing machine hidden under man skin. Charlie frowns to themself, claws idly clinking against a mug of coffee almost too cool now to be enjoyable, staring into the scrying bowl in front of them as the man paces back and forth in the woods, evidently quite stressed over turning both in the middle of the city and no-when near a full moon. The kid will never test marks for Charlie again, but the information was well worth the money and the lost life - desperate fools are a dime-a-dozen in Itronano, and “yolo”-loving teenagers number high among them. But the question was never answered - how in all the hells do you fight a fucking werewolf?

With a wince and a low grunt of a growl at the effort, a punishment for their own stupidity, Charlie pushes themself up from the couch by their injured arm - clawed by the very same werewolf - to slowly pace the dimly lit apartment above their workshop, tail lashing in something like irritation as they drink and think. Asking Emanuel would be too obvious, even if it is the most expedient option; the less that can link Bradley and Charlie together, the better, and Manny is only so good of a friend. That is, not so good as to help cover up a murder. The library in Ceburn might have what they need, but the local one might be a safer bet to look less suspicious. No need to check the books out either, no paper trail. Is it more reasonable to take time away following a traumatic experience? It could give Bradley time to calm down, too, not seeing Charlie about town, and fall back into his routines if they left for the capital.

Besides the werewolf thing, Bradley makes a delightful target. Wonderfully predictable and unobservant, one could almost steal his watch and set it by the man’s comings and goings, but with enough spontaneity to him that his wife doesn’t appear to be surprised if he occasionally shows up several hours late.  Especially with a gift to compensate. So, maybe the watch-setting is a poor idea, actually. Never late for work, doesn’t work weekends, never misses dinner, bi-weekly poker game on Saturday. Likes ducks - no gun, a few cameras, so possibly a casual birdwatcher. The past few weeks of stalking and scrying have been certainly enlightening, though not overmuch of it entertaining. He’s a boring man, that Bradley. And a shit poker player.

Taking him at home is an obvious choice, but the wife needs to be accounted for, and the scrying only works on one target. Her social life seems to be minimal, preferring being terminally online to going out. Low maintenance. On the way to poker, maybe, but he’d be missed. On the way back, perhaps. Everyone’s seen him leave, and early enough for shops and things to still be open, even if only a few of them, convenience stores and the like. With his habit of showing late now and again, perhaps the search would be many hours delayed, giving plenty of time to sever the spirit and hide the body. Yes, that’s a good tentative start. With a small, pleased sigh, Charlie finishes their coffee and hides the scrying bowl back in its place below the shop once more. A time, now, to think and plan, rather than simply watch.

The Best Tips on Preserving the Trade-in Value of Your Vehicle

A new car purchase is exciting. The only annoying aspect is how rapidly a new car loses value. Even a well-known brand and model loses 10% of its buying price as soon as you drive it off the lot, and another 10% by the end of the first year. A car's value might plummet by an astounding 60% in the first four years of ownership. A less well-liked model may decline even further.

These figures are not set in stone because there are steps you can take to protect your car's trade-in value. The following are the key measures that will assist protect your investment:

Professional Detailing.: High-quality cleaning supplies can help, but they cannot guarantee success. Only 10% of a vehicle detailing job is product-based; the remaining 90% is technique-based. Rust, fading paint, and other negative effects are prevented by thorough cleaning.

Maintenance: The dealership must be able to show the potential buyer how long your car will last. Smart purchasers request to see the maintenance logs. Maintain thorough records and adhere to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. DIY upkeep is not seen as positively as professional upkeep. In addition to immediately attending to dings and scratches, maintain the body.

Interior cleanliness: Stains and car smoking can reduce their resale value. Even Americans who smoke less than 20% of the time do not like the smell of smoke coming from an automobile. By abstaining from eating and drinking while driving, you can lessen stains. If there is a spill, clean it up immediately.

Interior Condition: The interior of your car suffers damage from the sun, especially vinyl surfaces. It helps to leave your car in a garage. Other smart defenses include screens, window tinting, shaded parking, professional detailing with vinyl protection, and professional detailing.

Mileage: A vehicle with high mileage will always have a reduced trade-in value. When possible, reduce the number of miles you travel by combining your errands, carpooling, renting a car for road trips, and using other forms of transportation. The age of the vehicle is taken into account, but its significance in relation to mileage is given more weight.

Customization: A fun aspect of owning a car is customizing it with aftermarket components or a cool paint job. A decreased resale value could come from certain changes, so keep that in mind.

Mechanical: Have a reliable mechanic examine your car before you take it to the dealer. The dealership will pay attention to how it functions. A lesser offer will be made if there is any knocking or other signs of a problem. A small fix could provide a significant profit.

Depending on which category the vehicle belongs to—near new, exceptionally clean, clean, average, or rough—the dealership will determine the worth of the car. Finding a buyer for your car depends on a number of factors, including mileage, the general state of the inside and exterior, and upkeep. You could not even receive a trade-in offer from the dealership if it doesn't think it can sell the automobile for a profit. In that case, you'll have to spend money and effort looking for a private buyer, which is never enjoyable.

TLT Theorizing Part 1

In honor of the cover reveal for Nona the Ninth it’s time for me to work through some blue-sky theorizing about the Locked Tomb universe.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR BOTH GIDEON THE NINTH AND HARROW THE NINTH FOLLOW. STOP READING RIGHT NOW IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE SPOILED. IN FACT STOP READING TUMBLR AND GO READ THOSE TWO BOOKS INSTEAD. I PROMISE YOU THEY’RE BETTER THAN ANYTHING YOU’LL SEE ON YOUR DASH.

So. Consider the following facts:

Nine Resurrection Beasts were born from the nine murdered thalergenic worlds of our solar system.

Planets create thalergy via the life living on them.

Therefore, nine bodies in the Solar System must have supported enough life to create Resurrection Beasts.

Therefore, humanity had expanded beyond Earth when the Resurrection occurred.

Therefore, even though Earth was undergoing major climate change, this would not have doomed humanity.

==> Question 1: Why was the Resurrection necessary?

If nine planets in the Solar System had enough thalergy to be killed, humans must have already colonized them. That means the colonies now occupied by the Nine Houses were probably built before the Resurrection. Gideon mentions that all the life-support and habitat-maintenance machinery in the Ninth is well beyond the comprehension of anyone there, and in the Sixth House they’re basically still excavating their own facility; loss of memory after the Resurrection would explain both of those. But this means humanity had already spread to other planets. Ecological collapse on Earth would not have meant the end of the human race.

Now postpone Q1 and consider the following additional facts:

Dominicus, the Sun, also draws on John’s power. This is confirmed independently by Augustine.

The Sun is a main-sequence G star only five billion years into its hydrogen supply. It should cook along at its present size and brightness for at least five billion more without any divine intervention; in fact it would take divine intervention to stop it.

Seriously, every single human could die and every solid body in the solar system could explode tomorrow and the Sun wouldn’t notice.

Therefore: the Sun should not have needed reviving at all.

==> Question 2: Why does the Sun depend on John?

Now put both questions aside and consider the following apparently random details that may answer both questions:

Wake said John was responsible both for the deaths of ten billion people and the loss of a colossal amount of culture and history.

Wake specifically accused John of setting a bomb.

John dismisses Blood of Eden by saying, “If you abandon something, you give up the claim to own it.”

Part of the reason John’s conquering his way across the galaxy is because he wants revenge, though he won’t say for what.

Early in HtN John says, “Faster-than-light travel turned out to be a snare--the way it was originally cracked, anyway. The first method destroyed something to do with time and distance, rendering it unusable for any good purpose...”

==> Conclusion 1: What if part of humanity decided to leave Earth using a one-way FTL drive - and John stopped them?

“Unusable for any good purpose.” Why would John use those words? What if humanity’s first attempts at FTL worked, but it was essentially a one-way trip because the effects of doing it destroyed your departure point - in this case, the Sun? Maybe the drive caused ugly gravitational wobbles, or did something disgusting to time, or they needed to collapse the Sun’s core to get the power required. So humanity could leave the solar system - but only once, and it could never return. That doesn’t seem worth it...except now the Earth is dying. What if part of humanity decided that instead of scratching out a tenuous, terraformed existence on the other planets or putting in the immense effort and time to fix Earth itself, they should just leave? No waiting to figure out a repeatable form of FTL, just pack everyone up, aim the convoy at a system with another Earthlike world, and take that one-way trip?

But maybe not everyone got to take that one-way trip. Maybe some disagreed with leaving, or maybe there wasn’t enough room on the last train out. Maybe some people weren’t worthy of being saved. And maybe some of those left behind took that idea very, very badly. Maybe ten billion people loaded up on that convoy, along with all the great cultural and historical knowledge of humanity, and one well-placed bomb - the bomb Wake accused John of setting - took them out.

It would explain why the Sun also needed to be resurrected, since it had been collapsed/destroyed in the FTL process. It would explain why the rest of humanity is out among the stars. It would explain John’s relentless pursuit of them. It would explain his dismissal of Blood of Eden: in his mind that part of humanity abandoned the solar system - a kind of inverted Rapture, leaving the unworthy to suffer the tribulations of ecological collapse - and it’s perfectly fitting that those they left for dead should rise to take revenge.

Okay. We’re halfway there. Shelve all that for a moment and consider this last apparently unrelated set of facts:

John is immortal - not the constant renewal of a Lyctor but actual indestructible immortality. Not even a Resurrection Beast can hurt him.

The inorganic habitat-maintenance machinery in the Ninth House is somehow preserved by the Emperor’s power in perfect working order - it doesn’t rust, it doesn’t break down, it doesn’t wear out.

Harrow notes several times that John’s unique powers feel extremely weird. She calls it a kind of blinding, all-pervasive light and scouring acidic scent, neither of which are associated with necromancy.

John occasionally uses less obvious abilities that have nothing to do with necromancy, such as freezing everything in the moment when The Soup Incident erupts.

Gideon’s body doesn’t decay, even after death. Same for John’s, er, DNA sample; after twelve weeks it’s still fresh as if it had just been removed from his body.

John’s disciples post-Resurrection didn’t age, but only as long as they were physically near him.

When he’s killed, John doesn’t resurrect himself; he reverses his death.

==> Conclusion 2: John Gaius controls time.

The Emperor once told Harrow, “I mastered Death. I should have mastered Time.” He gave away the whole game there: he hasn’t mastered time, but he can manipulate it. John and Gideon’s bodies are preserved not by the constant cellular renewal of a Lyctor, which should stop after death, but by actual temporal stasis. Their physical selves simply don’t suffer the passage of time. Gideon’s body could be harmed by direct injury but not by processes that rely on the accumulation of damage: the poison gas, the hypothermia. Same for the habitat machinery; it’s inorganic, which should render necromancy useless, but John’s power preserves it in the same timeless state. The machines never rust, break down, or wear out because those are all consequences of time and entropy. That’s why his disciples didn’t age as long as they were physically nearby - he could extend his little pocket of timelessness to cover them, but it only went so far. 

When John resurrects himself, Gideon calls it like she sees it: “Time stopped.” And then it goes backwards. He doesn’t snap back into existence or rebuild himself from a fragment the way Harrow builds skeletons from a splinter; he rewinds. All his scattered particles pull themselves back together and reassemble in the opposite order as Mercymorn’s disintegration. It takes Gideon’s straightforward ignorance to get to the truth: in HtN’s big confrontation she says, “Whatever [John did], it was no theorem.” John’s unique necromancy feels weird because it’s not necromancy. It’s time manipulation. 

Now go back to where we started: “Faster than light travel...destroyed something to do with time.”

==> Metaconclusion: John gained his powers in the same accident/intentional explosion that destroyed the human FTL convoy departing our solar system.

Let’s say John, Augustine, and some other small band of those about to be left behind aren’t gonna take this lying down. They prepare a bomb to disable the FTL convoy. It doesn’t have to be a big one; it just has to be in the right place at the right time. Maybe they only meant to disable the convoy or stop the process before it could do permanent harm; maybe they meant to destroy it from the get-go. Either way, John’s the man chosen to plant that bomb. He does it. He triggers it. And everything goes so, so much more wrong than anyone thought it would. Spacetime tears. The entire convoy disintegrates in an obscene burst of energy; quarks themselves unraveling, leaving absolutely nothing behind, no remains or salvage - only handfuls of words passed down as cherished relics. And John, who was standing at the center of it all, is frozen into the hyperspace bubble that was supposed to shift the convoy to its destination. He is, somehow, suspended in time, and over a myriad he’s learned to manipulate it. 

Did the discovery of necromancy come before or after this cataclysm? Did John invent it in order to semi-revive the planets left blasted and sterile, or was their revival - and the creation of the Beasts - part of the disaster? How much life did they support if they generated such powerful beasts, or is it just that those beasts got away and had lots of time to grow in strength? Why pick John? How much does he remember? How much does Blood of Eden? I want to know. give book!!
