hey! do you have any tips for running more? i have a love-hate relationship with it

YES!

I used to DESPISE running SO HARD. I've been running for seven years now, off and on (a LOT more off than on lol), but its only been in the last ten months that I really and truly have fallen in love with it!

Number one tip is to get a running app, really and truly! They're great for getting training plans to run to, holding you accountable, and tracking your progress! Seriously, it is SO AWESOME to get to see your stats improve over time, its so rewarding and wonderful! I've never personally used it, but my mom uses Nike Run Club, which she highly reccomends, so if you're looking for a simple, streamlined one to start with, go take a look at that!

btw have you heard of this special one called Zombies, Run!? Its a running app that is also an immersive audio drama that makes you feel like the main character in a video game and has singlehandedly gotten me from despising running to loving it- Oh, you have? okay then.... i mean,,,, if youre interested,,, i have an entire sideblog for it,,,, you could send me some asks about it,,,, i'd love to comply...

But seriously ZR has changed my life, I'm being totally serious here. I could elaborate if you'd like, but long story short, I am in the best physical and mental shape of my life bc of this silly zombie app with blorbos in it, so yeah, never gonna stop talking about it lol.

But the reason why that works, is that it makes running fun! Because lets all be honest, running for more than three minutes on a treadmill with no stimulation at all and nothing to think about besides the fact that you're running and that sucks is the WORST. And doing it outside is better because you're actually going somewhere and see things, but its still monotonus and then you're just lasered in on the 'running is horrible' part after a bit longer.

ZR is utterly brilliant because you are physically incapable of being bored while playing it lol. You're not running a mile away from your house then a mile back, you're charging through the streets of an abandonded city, holding a life-saving cure, your best friend in your headset imploring you to keep going as zombies approach, while having the survival of your fellow runner depend on you as they limp from their injury. It is THRILLING and takes your mind off of what you are doing.

BUT MOVING AWAY FROM ZR NOW FINALLY (sorry i really am obsessed)--

It works because you aren't thinking about running. So that's the cheat code, figure out how to run without thinking about what your body is doing and how it feels icky sometimes. You've gotta learn to be very motivated but then also INCREIDIBLY disciplined in order to stick to it. Find some music that makes you feel like you're in a superhero movie (I have some recs if you'd like!!), find a podcast that is super interesting on a topic that you adore, even go running with friends and talk to them about fandom stuff while running!

Find tools to take your mind off of it that works most of the time, and the in the small fraction of the time where you still don't want to do it, learn the discipline to follow through anyway.

But also, I've found that the main reason running stinks, at least at first, is your body isn't used to it. Really! Whether you haven't worked out in your entire life ever, or if you are considered one of the fittest people on the planet in like swimming or something, running is SUPER hard and super terrible at first because you aren't used to it! Even if you are super fit and healthy, the hard cardio and movement that running requires is just very different from everything else! So anyone getting into running ever should NEVER feel bad about themselves when they're just starting! Because it is a seperate and unique thing in its own category that is special and different! It is scientifically proven that it takes 6-10 weeks of running 10-20 miles a week before your body adjusts and then you're used to it.

But guess what? One day, you're going to be running, and suddenly realize that it is magic. You'll realize that you don't have to stop to walk when you usually do- you can go longer than you have before. You'll realize that wait, you can go faster now! Your pace is faster! And then you'll feel a rush of adrenaline and endorphins and oh! THIS is what they mean when they say runners high! You understand why its called is the healthiest addicting drug in the world now! You'll realize that you have a huge smile breaking out on your face and the scenery is gorgeous, even if its in a dark smelly gym, because you're doing it- you're running! And you love it.

Anyone reading this, please give running a good, earnest shot. Lace up your shoes three or four days a week and go jog two or three miles. Keep at it for two months. It'll be a hard two months. But it'll be so so worth it. Just try. What have you got to lose?

Running is magic, and now I'll never give it up.

i'm leaving this blog for a long time if not forever. here's why.

i watched over half the dash, people i've been mutuals with for years, fall for horrific antisemitism in the name of attacking someone i love because they used academic language on a deeply reactionary website that doesn't think genocide requires you to use your brain when thinking about how to stop it.

i watched the word "zionist" get thrown at someone who isn't one in the slightest so many times the definition crumbled until people were using it to mean "i have decided you are evil in a jewish way". i saw them slandered with blatantly antisemitic conspiracy theories saying their family owns property in israel when they don't. i saw people i trusted fall for it and parrot those same theories with no evidence when fact-checking would have taken five? ten minutes? because that's how quick and eager people are to believe in an evil jew.

i used to love this place, this was the place for all of my teenage years and into my early 20s. i'm not deleting my blog, all of my posts will stay up, but i can't look at many of you the same ever again. it will never not make me sick to my stomach.

to everyone who kept their head on their shoulders and/or sent messages of love, concern, and kindness, thank you. your sanity over the last few days has made me feel more sane. for everyone else, i have nothing left to say.

Jun's Intuos2 XD-608-U Review

Since I couldn't find many online and I think its fun to talk about. (This is a personal review, general info can be found here)

From 2001, this tablet boasted 1024 pen/eraser/tilt pressure levels, much less than the average of most modern tablets. While noticeable in feel, I'm not a stickler for detail or line variation so it better suits my personal taste. The matte surface has a moderate amount of friction while being very smooth, making drawing feel nicely hefty and direct compared to what I'm used to. The proportions fit a 4:3 display but can be adjusted in the driver. Small movements will cover a larger amount of distance on a higher aspect ratio but the feeling is up to taste (I had an Intuos3 with similar measurements on a 16:9 display and I might've just gotten used to it). The material is nice and dense, the tablet tends to suction itself to flat surfaces after a while and doesn't move easily. the pen stand and cord/battery-less mouse also have soft bases to prevent slipping and scratching!

A menu strip is on top with editable functions in the driver. It shows what number you're hovering over onscreen so you don't have to look down. (Its a bit tricky to feel out though, so I look anyway ^^;)

The last 3 buttons are pressure settings that alter your pen sensitivity, you can also fine tune them in the driver. Selecting "firm" makes clicks harder to register, but it can be fixed by sliding the "Click Threshold" left. Before and after:

The 2D mouse works by dragging it over the tablet, It tends to skip when slowly dragging due to the friction of the fabric and hard surface and doesn't have any particularly unique features. I suggest a regular mouse and pad for smoother navigation instead.

Overall, Its a wonderful relic of the early digital art scene that still holds up quite well for its early creation. IMO its one of the nicest feeling tablets I've used, its very much tailored to my personal use. I think I'll be sticking with this in the far future!

They’re fighting

[whump-queen]

“You did so well”

It’s the way whumper says it—the way they speak to whumpee. It’s their voice—half the time angry, biting, and degrading, only to mutate into something sickeningly sweet in the aftermath of the pain, when whumper leans in close with sticky murmurs of affection—of mocking praise.

A toxic, slimy liquid that drips from whumper’s lips and oozes thick and heavy down whumpee’s ears and neck and shoulders.

It makes whumpee’s skin crawl. 

Or at least, it did.

At first. 

But there comes a point, during the more creative of whumper’s tortures, where the pain becomes too much, where the excruciating burn of the knife or the sear of the brand is blacking out whumpee’s brain and shoving their head deep underwater, shrinking their existence down through a tiny pinhole, only to be materialized again on the other side, dazed beyond belief, panting and shaking and still bound in whumper’s arms. 

It’s those precious few moments of reprieve in the aftermath, where the warmth of whumper’s shoulder against their cheek is enough for whumpee to sink into it— For their teeth to unclench, for their shoulders to slump against whumper’s torso, for their shaking knees to crumple into whumper’s lap.

For each part of them to give up—to give in— until they’re spilling hot tears into the fabric between shaking, heaving breaths, staining whumper’s shirt with the small beads of blood that still weep from their bitten lip.

Whumper only holds whumpee’s head tightly against their shoulder and let’s them ride out the sobs.

[k1rameki]

killing myself ive been off tumblr for so long and i forgot to post this.. my sincerest apologies mekinators.. it was my wifes bday yesterday happy bday wife

[androxys]

Knowing that the episode of Arthur that produced this:

came out in 2015... after such classic tumblr tales such as "Oppa Homeless Style" or "Down with Cis" makes me desperate to know if there was a producer or writer who was on tumblr at the time. And while correlation does not equal causation, it is fun to dream

I hate letting shitty people take up real estate in my brain, but sometimes the bastards refuse to leave.
