"Strength Endurance: How to Keep Going When It Gets Tough"

In the pursuit of fitness, strength is often associated with power and the ability to lift heavy weights. However, an equally crucial aspect that defines overall fitness is strength endurance—the ability to sustain effort over an extended period. Whether you’re an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or simply someone striving for a healthier lifestyle, understanding the significance of strength…

SHERLOCK | Martin Freeman as John Watson

[anghraine]

I know it's well-understood at this point that Kirk/Spock is much more of a nerd4nerd ship than a nerd/jock thing, but it's just been kind of percolating around my mind that both of them aren't just space nerds but space nerds who were personally bullied.

Like, 18-year-old Kirk was targeted by an older bully who combines "total asshole" with "the most grating man in existence":

MCCOY: Well, yeah, I'm beginning to feel a little bit picked-on, if that's what you mean. KIRK: I know the feeling very well. I had it at the Academy. An upperclassman there. One practical joke after another, and always on me. My own personal devil. A guy by the name of Finnegan. MCCOY: And you being the very serious young— KIRK: Serious? I'll make a confession, Bones. I was absolutely grim, which delighted Finnegan no end.

This was five years after Kirk survived a genocide, btw, and likely well before his stint as an Academy instructor known to be strict and demanding (which is the period the "stack of books with legs" description of him comes from). By the time he's 33, fifteen years after all this, it turns out one of his deepest fantasies is just beating the shit out of his bully, but only if he can do it According To The Rules (the replica of Finnegan sneers, "Always fight fair, don't you? True officer and gentleman, you").

Spock, meanwhile, is viciously targeted by his Vulcan peers for being biracial from at least age 5; he's described as being tormented by other boys by that age, and "at home nowhere except Starfleet." I think he'd have been 18 or 19 when he left for Starfleet and it's... the least bad of his options, but he seems to have spent his entire career among humans and being persistently subjected to raw racism and profound disrespect for his culture at every turn.

Like, their histories of being metaphorically shoved into lockers are not identical or anything, but I think it's interesting that they both have them.

so the routine at the gym today included some slam ball reps, which consist on picking up a deadweight heavy ball, lifting it over your head, and then slamming it onto the ground with as MUCH force as you can. it's a pretty fun exercise! i like to imagine im leaving a crater on the ground anime-style whenever i do it

except. the ball i wanted to use today was being used by someone else, and since it was a timed routine (as many reps as you could do in 30 minutes) i decided the best thing to do was to pick up one of the balls on the shelf instead of waiting

so i picked up the 5kg ball there and i sort of noticed in the back of my mind that it felt different in my hands from the balls we usually use. but i dont think too much about it i just lift the ball as high as i can and then put ALL of my weight and my strength into SLAMMING that thing into the ground.

except it wasnt a deadweight heavy ball. it was a fucking bouncing rubber heavy ball.

i had to spend the next 15 minutes stopping the nose bleed and holding a cold pack to my face 😭

Mark and Rex should make out, and Mark should totally wreck Rex's face doing so, and Rex should let him. a tender kiss to Mark, when filled with passion and pent up energy, feelings like a vicious bite to Rex, but he's not quick to point that out. Mark should kiss Rex till it hurts and Rex should dig his nails into Mark's back, barely managing to break skin, even Mark says it's ok. Rex should try and match the speed and strength at which Mark is capable of defiling him, but ultimately fail — he could never dream of catching up to a Viltrumite. Rex should tell Mark he doesn't have to be gentle.

both have always had to be careful, but they can rip each other apart and welcome it. they've endured so much pain, why not find a way to enjoy it?

Mark should hold Rex tenderly with arms that could crush him, and Rex should relish in feeling secure. they should tangle their legs together and mingle their breaths and push each other against walls and mattresses and pillows. friction and heat building between them. moments where they stare at each other as Rex pants for breath and Mark waits for him to catch his breath with a look so patient it hurts they pant for breath, and there's the pull to be tender that feels slightly foreign but also so very good and right. their foreheads come to rest against each other at some point.

they talk about their insecurities. about the shit no one else wants to hear or knows what to do with. Rex covers Mark's hands with his own so he can't see the blood that isn't there. Mark takes hold of Rex's when they shake with a tremor that will never fully go away.

they aren't perfect. but they're something good. just for now.

There is one person who will always be rooting for you, believing in you, and hoping with everything in them that you heal, overcome, and thrive. And that person is the former version of yourself. It's the former version of you that had to be still and didn't speak up pushing the current version of you to be bold and speak out. It's the former version of you that fought with everything in them to push through the pain to get out of bed in the morning that encourages the current version of you to seize and fully live in the blessing of each day. It is the former version of you that endured through the valley always reminding you that you possess the wisdom, strength, and capability to not only embrace the mountain tops but also empower from them. May the person who inspires, encourages, and empowers you most be the person who cannot and will not ever leave you. May your greatest motivator be you.

anyway I also spent a bunch of time this morning musing on whether it's significant that Avizandum and Zubeia did not choose regnal names as archdragons the way Sol Regem (and presumably Rex Igneous, Domina Profundis, Luna Tenebris, and Aithne Solaire) did or if it's just that the writers knew they were going to be using every possible Latin word relating to lightning/storm/wind in Callum's Sky spells and didn't want to oversaturate, particularly for a pair of fairly important characters

i keep thinking surely these americans and westerners "despairing" because their protests don't seem to be making an effect, surely they will start taking up arms against their government soon, but then i remember they're still trying to convince each other not to vote for the people sending the bombs
