#Targeted Exercises

Achieving a slimmer waistline and a toned tummy can be challenging, but with the right approach, it’s possible. Here are some practical strategies to help you along the journey:

I feel like ppl focus on Bruce training the robins to kick ass from a young age when that’s definitely not all that was. He had to teach them field medicine and how to pick locks and sneak around silently and how to notice things, sure he taught them how to hit things with sticks of multiple sizes, but he also taught them how to grapple around and land from a fall.

They probably had intimidation lessons and interrogation lessons and sessions where they just meditated for hours straight. They’re taught how to calm down civilians and to train their voices to sound different in costume and so many things that would make them the most terrifying children to live with.

Bruce is actively training them to be good at bothering him because they like trying out their new espionage skills at Galas and trying to sneak around him while he’s asleep to prank him.

When we think of training to be Robin it’s easy to think of sparring and gymnastics equipment when it’s fun to remember the other parts of it. Some days Bruce would probably just give the kids a Hunt a Killer box and a time limit.

Things I've started noticing in media as someone who recently developed a not yet diagnosed chronic pain disorder that has fucked up my life.

- seeing rep for any. Any. Disability makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

- in fandom, every time I see another disabled person discuss a disabled character, they actually like analysing the character in terms of how they function with their disability. But I only ever see ablebodied people make aus in which "everything is fine".

- seeing arguments about what is and isn't good representation is extremely draining. This goes for any minority, many of which I'm part of. It's an important conversation to have, but so often the focus is on tearing down the character instead of building them back up yourself. The approach is too focused on rooting out the bad apples, not on planting the seeds for better ones.

So often I see complaints, and those complaints are entirely valid. I agree with most of them. But wouldn't it be more productive to point out what was done right and suggest what could've been done to make it even better? If there's one thing school taught me, it's that constant criticism just leads to resentment.

Make up ocs with disabilities, draw them as well as you can or commission someone to draw them for you and post that shit with a detailed explanation. Someone is bound to see it. Write fanfiction of your favourite character and go in depth on the struggles they face and how they still find happiness alongside those struggles. Make videos or write books or animate something and include your story there, because that won't make you miserable. Force people to see you for who you are. It's far more effective than getting into arguments online.

it’s kinda funny what some people believe about religious folk. like last night my coworker asked me if i’m allowed to wear tennis shoes

In light of Sonic 3 (film) existing (no I havent seen it yet) I've been thinking. This is of course, extreemly dangerous for me, because it's reignited the everliving spark in my heart and my deep unconditional love for Sonic Adventure 2.

And subsequently the slight story-re-write AU I was making a while ago (10 YEARS, 10 YEARS AGO???)

I should revisit this. For fun.

Every now and then, a young woman will bring her equally young boyfriend to a Pilates class, and he will inevitably start by treating it as a big joke like the fact that He a Man has come to Pilates, a Woman’s Class (despite there being men who attend all my regular classes). He will grab the largest set of hand weights from the store room, joke with the instructor about “going easy on him”, take a spot at the front of the class, and realise about five minutes in that Pilates is Hard Actually, and usually by about twenty minutes in will clearly have started feeling emasculated, throw a tantrum and either lie on the mat and refuse to do the rest of the class, or loudly and disruptively leave.

Since I totally am someone who needs her simple girl goals to stay put together in one piece (I can be prone to getting too dreamy/lazy/caught up in my own head when I'm not investing into these areas) Newest fixation in 📰💥💫: building quadriceps (upper front leg muscle groups) the size of those funny guy Super Mario cannonballs

As someone who has done Pilates and yoga for over a decade because I actually enjoy them, it annoys me to no end that every single time one of them is trendy I literally cannot talk about them for a few months because everyone’s brains get so cooked on discourse that every conversation becomes “omg skinny legend” or “this WON’T make you snatched you’ve been FOOLED” and at this point i would just like y’all to have this conversation somewhere else so i can have my exercise endorphins in peace

Are all the akatsuki members underweight? I remember reading that Hidan weighed around 57kg at 177cm and that Kakuzu weighed less than 65kg at 185 cm which is wild

Tbh I can’t tell if it’s because it’s a manga and Kishimoto just made everyone weigh less than what is realistic or if it’s because Kakuzu is mainly made up of threads so he doesn’t weigh that much

When thinking about these things, you need to take into account:

1. Averages for the country of origin.

Different regions have different distributions for traits like this. Averages vary based on what they are in comparison to. An average in one place will be seen as "abnormal" in a different place. So like, people from Nothern China tend to be, on average, taller than people in Southern China, so on and so forth.

2. Time period.

Naruto takes place in a psudo-feudal type Japan setting. The distribution for weight and height used to be different if you take the era into account. (If you are a keener, you can do a nutritional thought exercise based on what people commonly ate in feudal Japan, but I'm not good at it, and my weightlifting friends who know nutrition have weird regiments.)

3. Target audience for the story

This is the main explanation, but when you are creating a story with an audience of teenagers in mind, you need to take into account how they perceive the world. It doesn't have to be ultra-realistic. It can just exist to be related to by a teenager. It's part of the reason protags and all the characters are so young. On average, people tend to enjoy things where they can establish a quick connection to the character. To them, smaller numbers make more sense and are easier to comprehend.

Think of when you were 13 watching Naruto and thought 35-year-old Sasori was an old, ancient man. To how now, you look at the ages and height/weight ratios like, "This makes no sense/is concerning."

still working on the same damn fic BC I'm the world's slowest writer but we're reaching worrying levels of axelcore weirdness I just had one character find out mid-sex that sometimes they have genitals and sometimes they don't and they have no memory of having genitals nor why they even had them. this is completely serious not even in a "crack treated seriously" way this is a completely serious fic. I'm just putting all of the "Axel's sort of surreal with a dash of really dry comedy original works" juice into this one for some reason
