What sports do you see the AoT characters playing? I like to envision Jean as a swimmer or lacrosse player but that's about it

Hello! This is such a fun question, thank you for sending me this!!

What sports would these Aot characters play?

Jean: swimming. His body's perfect for it. Tall, muscular, long arms. He's very fast! But do not, and I repeat, DO NOT make him go on a vertical drop water slide. He will cry.

Armin: he's never been one for sports that involve a lot of... um... physical performance. But oh BOY this man can play golf. He's way too good at calculating trajectories and likes nerding over wind speeds and velocities. Plus, he gets to wear a neat hat.

Annie: Kickboxing. Her agility makes it easy for her to dodge her opponents who often underestimate her size. Plus, she gets to punch people all day long. Sweet!

Mikasa: Gymnastics. There's something about her body that's incredibly graceful. Her movements seem effortless. But she often loses her balance when Eren is around.

Eren: Surfing. Makes him feel free like a bird. Loves disconnecting from his daily life this way. Though, he's been rescued by lifeguards many times. He's not very good.

Pieck: Horse riding. And not just because she's the cart titan! She built an incredible relationship with her horse. Always carries sugar cubes in her pockets.

Connie: Football! His speed and wild card moves makes him incredibly unpredictable for the enemy team. His feet move so fast, no one can keep up.

Sasha: Archery, or course, for obvious reasons. Though she'd also be a great at darts because of her insane precision. As long as Connie doesn't walk in front of the boa- OH SHOOT!

Reiner: Weightlifting. This man is PURE MUSCLE. He can lift you, your mom and your entire sofa in one hand.

Yelena: Fencing. Elegant, refined. Just like her. Though part of her wishes she could actually stab her opponents. You know, just for a bit of harmless fun!

Historia: Rhythmic Gymnastics. Often trains with Mikasa, but while she's more up in the air, Historia's strenght lies in the gentle movements of her ribbons above ground.

Ymir: Skiing. It's fun, relaxing and she enjoys pulling off tricks from time to time. Likes bragging about them to Historia.

Hange: Handball. She has a great leap and throw and her eye for strategy gave her the nickname "the four eyed Demon".

Levi: Sailing, if it can be considered a sport. It's relaxing. Makes him feel content. Means that he can get away from people for as long as he wants to. Who's gonna follow him all the way her- IS THAT FLOCH??

Onyankopon: Canoeing. Why not enjoy some beautiful scenery while we're at it, no?

Falco: Badminton. Has a good eye for the shuttle and seems to be able to always land his hits. Can get easily distracted if playing against Gabi

Gabi: Shooting. BANG! Her aim is fantastic. But she really needs to work on her attitude. Oh no Connie don't walk ther- BANG!!...CONNIE!?

part 1

I'm standing there, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. I pulls at my friend sleeve, saying, “Hey, don’t leave me alone!”

“I can’t,” she reply, glancing toward the group. “The senior told us to gather already.”

“But I can’t do this…” i whispers, anxiety evident in her voice.

“No, you can. You’ll be fine,” she assure me, trying to keep my own nerves in check.

It was the first sports club meeting of the year. While she headed off to the athletic club, I was set on badminton. As I gather my things, the senior’s voice calls out, “Badminton club members, please return to the line. We will start our activities.”

I rush to the line, only to find someone sitting on the spot where I left my bag. “Um, sorry, I didn’t know this was your bag,” he says, looking a bit sheepish.

I’m taken aback. I’ve never met anyone quite like him. He wears a simple baby blue t-shirt and black tracksuit, yet his sharp features and lean frame stand out. His cheekbones catch the light as he turns to look at me, and I can’t help but notice his dark curls framing his deep-set, intense eyes. I nod, trying to play it cool, and move to another spot in the line.

Once the activities begin, the senior announces that those who can play should form doubles teams. My heart sinks because I’m not very good and decide to sit on the bleachers. But soon, he steps onto the court, and I can’t tear my eyes away.

The court buzzes with energy as players dash back and forth. He’s a tall figure dominating the net, smashes echoing like thunder. His partner, smaller yet agile, darts around the court with incredible speed. Their movements are fluid, a dance of strategy and skill. The crowd roars with every point, completely caught up in the excitement.

I’m so entranced by him that I lean over to the girl sitting next to me. “Do you know that guy’s name? The one in the blue shirt?”

“Oh, if I’m not mistaken, his name is Ni-ki. He’s a senior at my primary school.”

Ni-ki. The name sends a jolt through me, and I can’t shake off the impression he’s made.

Just when I think I’m lost in thoughts of Ni-ki, my actual crush, Sunghoon, appears. He’s also part of the badminton club, and just seeing him makes my heart flutter. We’ve been texting for a while, but we’ve never really talked face-to-face. It’s complicated, but I can’t help but feel a sense of belonging whenever I see him.

Today, I decide to take a leap of faith and text Sunghoon about my feelings. My heart pounds as I type, “Sunghoon, I wanted to tell you something… I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately, and I realized I have a crush on you.”

The three dots appear and disappear on the screen, and I can hardly breathe with anticipation. Finally, he replies, “Hi, thanks for telling me. I appreciate your honesty.”

My stomach drops. “So… what does that mean?” I type, my fingers trembling.

“I’m flattered, but I don’t feel the same way. I see you as a friend.”

The words hit me hard, and I manage to reply, “Okay, I understand.” He apologizes for hurting my feelings, and I try to assure him it’s fine. But inside, I’m crushed.

As soon as I close the chat, tears stream down my face. I can’t help but replay the conversation in my mind, his smile, the way he laughs—it all stings so much. Weeks pass, and though I try to move on, the ache in my chest remains, a constant reminder of vulnerability and heartache.

Moving on feels like trudging through a thick fog; each step is uncertain, and the path ahead looks blurry. Even the songs on the radio seem to haunt me with memories of him.

One day, my friend and I are heading to the canteen when I pass by Ni-ki again. The memory of him on the court floods back, and I can’t help but mention how attractive I think he is. “Why don’t you try him?” my friend suggests. “Maybe he could be a replacement for Sunghoon. Who knows? It might go well.”

Her words linger in my mind as I walk home.

On a random friday night, I make a bold decision. I text Ni-ki, but this time I’ll keep it a secret. My fingers hover over the keyboard, a rush of nervous energy surging through me. This is my chance to reach out, to finally connect with the boy I’ve admired from afar.

“Hey,” I type, feeling a mix of excitement and fear. “I know this is random, but I’ve been thinking about you lately. I’m your secret admirer.”

After hitting send, a wave of regret crashes over me. What if he thinks I’m weird? The three dots appear, disappear, then reappear. My heart races.

“Huh?” he replies, sounding surprised. “What is this?”

“It’s a long story,” I respond, my smile returning. “But I wanted you to know that i have some uncertain feelings for you..”

“Wow,” he says. “It’s my first time experiencing this…”

I can’t resist teasing him. “That’s a bit dramatic, don’t you think?”

“Maybe,” he admits. “But I’m definitely curious.”

“Well, now you know,” I reply. “But I’m still going to be your secret admirer. It’s more fun that way.”

“More fun?” he echoes, amusement evident in his tone. “Okay, I’m in. But how are we going to do this? Telegram or WhatsApp?”

“Telegram for now,” I suggest. “It’s easier to keep things anonymous. But maybe… we can switch to WhatsApp later.”

My heart skips a beat. Is it too soon to hope? The thought of him knowing it’s me, of him seeing my face, feels exhilarating.

We end up texting each other late into the night, sharing jokes and dreams. As I finally type, “Goodnight, sweet dreams,” I can’t help but feel a spark of hope igniting in my chest. Maybe this secret admirer thing could lead to something wonderful after all.

Maxiel's Love Languages:

- Touch.

-Daniel taking Max's hand in public or placing his hand on another man's lower back, guiding him through the crowds.

-Hugs from the back. Max wrapping his arms around Daniel's waist, watching sleepily as Daniel makes breakfast. The older man places the tools down and turns to his lover, slipping his arms behind Max's back and placing a quick kiss on his temple before turning back to the food. Or Daniel sliding his palms down Max's shoulders, causing the younger male to lean back against his chest and burying his nose in the crook of Max's shoulder.

-Cuddles.

Max hates that sometimes his "weak side" shows itself, but oh Lord, how he loves when Daniel presses them closer to each other, Max's head resting on his chest as he feels the other man's heart beating and fingers running through his dark blonde hair, making him melt right then and there.

Daniel enjoys every second of Max tangling his fingers in his curly locks and resting his chin on the top of his head, both of them suddenly too lazy to move.

-The "you-did-so-well" pats on the shoulders.

-The "good-evening-love" hand placement on the waist and chin resting on the other's shoulder.

-The quick, almost weightless, goodbye kisses before one leaves for whatever things he needs to do or before the race.

-The waking up together. Tangled together, Daniel's arm around Max's shoulders, the younger man curled up, his leg resting on Daniel's thigh. None of them moves unless it becomes too urgent.

- Time together.

-Movie nights. Cuddling and watching some comedy(non-romantic, Max insists, and Daniel just laughs and agrees).

-Walking together. No matter if it's day or night, sunny Monaco or rainy Singapore, Max and Daniel dress for the weather amd spend their free time outside, chatting and taking photos.

-Sport. Renting a court to play badminton or going for a swim.

- Words of affirmation.

-Daniel congratulates Max after every race and Max does the same.

-Max absolutely loves Daniel's smile and is not hesitating to say it out loud. Of course, when Daniel is around.

Daniel often finds himself lost in these ocean blue eyes, so cold on track but so warm off it. He never fails to flush Max with complimenting.

-"We are made for each other" in-between comments.

-Daniel comforting Max when his dad is a little bit too harsh on him and the bruise is bigger. He never turns away, whispering the soothing words until Max feels - even if a liitle bit - better. He never yells but also doesn't speak softly to the ones that call Max too arrogant or rude on track. He's always there for him.

Max telling Daniel not to listen to anyone telling him he's bad because it's not true. It's just the car is shit and the team's strategy is shit too. Daniel is one of the most talented drivers in the grid, Max says, holding Daniel's hands in his and keeping the eye contact.

- Always there for each other.

Will it be Max for Daniel or Daniel for Max, doesn't matter. They care for each other.

They love each other and there's nothing that can ruin their relationship.

love how soundwin's strategy for love is weakness/losing. sound saw win when he was weak, lost the battle, and came to him for comfort (hugged him after he lost). sound also saw the win he was while filming the music video. that split second of hesitation.

and win saw sound's unguarded moments. the ones he didn't want anyone to know but win waltzed his way into sound's moments of insecurity. two honourable mentions are the badminton scene, and the physical therapy clinic

safe to say that these two are that type of couple where both are known enemies but when one gets hurt, they come to the other one saying 'I don't know where else to go' OR when one gets hurt, the other one asks 'who did this to you?'

their love is in losing to the other one. that reminds me of pat's "when I have a lover, I always let my lover win" yea of course it's not the same in their case but they trust each other enough to show their vulnerability which they won't show to just anyone.

also love it how their dynamic is changing very subtly, in the background it isn't shown explicitly but it isnt kept hidden either. if we look out for it we can see how their relationship has changed throughout the time. other than the main screen time moments:-

win 'subtly' blowing air in sound's ear

soundwin 'subtly' looking at each other while performing.

dude even gun notices their closeness

⛸️ everyone, i suppose

hm... probably badminton or tennis. i don't really follow sports that much :/ but i do watch some matches to understand it

Ball games! Mostly Basketball and Volleyball! I also like running sports like marathons! I actually watch sports videos a lot!

Probably soccer/football! I sometimes watch sports when I'm bored.

Fencing, perhaps. I like the strategies they do. I don't often watch sports, like Toodles I only watch them when I am bored.

Theseus paradox feels to be on a different level when it's single mind occupying multiple bodies situation.

In this context it probably makes more sense to compare such entity not with something physical like a ship, but more like an ongoing process between multiple physical objects, like a game of badminton that is roughly defined as the relationships between specific sports equipment: There are different rackets that pass one or several shuttlecocks to one-another, sometimes one of the rackets gets broken and is replaced, same true for the shuttlecocks, but while the equipment may be changed, the game itself is never once fully halted and goes on indefinitely, therefore it stays the same exact game as it was when it just started, even if every racket and shuttlecock was replaced.

In this sense you can't compare this entity with a physical object like a ship, or, in this example each individual badminton equipment, but more like the game itself, the underlying system and strategy, invisible player that plays with itself with all the rackets at once, passes a shuttlecock from one racket to another. It's a kind of a juggling, really.

Actually as I was writing it I kinda feel like I just solved the paradox, because now if you get back to the familiar ship example, ship itself isn't really a physical object but a complex system that is more of a relationships between many of its components, a system in a constant process of change. So yes, even if each and every part of a ship is replaced it would still be the same ship, because the continuity of its presence as a system was never broken. It never stopped being a ship.

Probably more interesting question is when does a ship stop being a ship when we take it and start to rearrange its components into something different, turning it into another object (system), let's say a plane (or something more probable, idk what). No new details are taken from the outside, only existing ones are rearranged. When does that ship stop being a ship, and becomes something else, and can it really become something else if physically it never stopped existing? It's the question of whether a snowflake disappears from existence when it melts into a drop of water or just changes its form while ultimately staying the same thing. The answer to that depends on whether we define something as a system or a matter. Systems appear and disappear out of existence while the matter always remains.

I'd say that a snowflake stops existing when it melts as even if it's made from the same material it's just not the same thing. I mean, if we're interested in defining a snowflake as a system with properties that are present only in a snowflake but not a drop of water.

It reminds me...

The ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, "What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly."

Hi!! I was wondering if you knew any context of Ana tagging this university?? Is she studying?? If you don’t know, then no worries 🤗🤗🤗

So UCAM is one of the Spanish privates Universities. It's the Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia, also know as Universidad Católica de Murcia (San Antonio's Catholic University of Murcia or Murcia's Catholic University). They are a University that offer scholarship to elite athletes such as Carolina Marín (badminton), Mireia Belmonte (swimmer) and having a federated Basketball, Football and volleyball.

At first, I thought they were just sponsoring Ana (to wear merch and tag them in post) to get more visibility outside of Spain, and because she is from Murcia. Apparently, there's more to it. In 2020, Ana became a consultant in strategy for UCAM for their eSport team. Apparently Ana is helping/or was supposed to give her experience in competition and marketing. Apparently during the pandemic she turned to the eSport (Source). And yes, she was studying there at least in 2017. It was law/law school (Source). I don't know if she ever finished it, but at least she tried to study and race and she become the first Women to win a velocity Championship while studying, so hats off.

That's a promotional video Ana did for the University talking about what tools she uses and why she chooses law. It's because she want to do sportive law to be able to have a team off her own and help other riders grow and manage the contracts. Apparently she did most of her learning online

Apa Itu Badminton

Badminton adalah suatu olahraga yang menggunakan alat yang berbentuk bulat dengan memiliki rongga-rongga di bagian pemukulnya. Dan memiliki gagang. Alat ini dikenal dengan nama raket yang dimainkan oleh dua orang atau dua pasangan yang saling berlawanan. 

A. Teknik-Teknik dalam memegang raket yaitu :

American Grip : Teknik american grip dapat dilakukan dengan cara menggenggam tangkai raket, lalu memosisikan ibu jari dan dan telunjuk agar saling menempel/bersentuhan, sehingga membuat bentuk huruf “O”.

Teknik pegangan ini efektif digunakan apabila kamu ingin melakukan pukulan smash, namun tidak efektif apabila kamu menggunakannya untuk pukulan backhand.

2. Backhand Grip : Teknik backhand grip dapat dilakukan dengan cara menggenggam tangkai raket, lalu memosisikan ibu jari di belakang tangkai dan menekannya seolah-olah ibu jarilah yang menjadi penyokong raket.

3. ForeHand Grip : Jika teknik backhand grip menggunakan ibu jari sebagai penyokong utama, teknik forehand grip menggunakan jari telunjuk, tengah, manis, dan kelingking sebagai penyokongnya. Umumnya, teknik ini dilakukan untuk gerakan permainan yang lincah.

4. Combination Grip : Seperti namanya, teknik ini menggabungkan berbagai jenis teknik pegangan yang ada. Cara melakukannya, yaitu genggam raket seperti biasa, lalu posisikan jari telunjuk ke arah ujung raket.

B. Sikap atau Posisi Tubuh (Stance)

Sikap atau posisi tubuh juga menentukan strategi permainan badmintonmu, baik itu sebagai pemukul pertama maupun pemukul balasan. Sikap yang benar akan memudahkan gerakan dan kelihaian tubuhmu dalam bermain badminton.

Biasanya, dikenal tiga sikap bermain badminton, yakni posisi menyerang, posisi bertahan, dan posisi melawan/membalikkan netting,

Posisi Menyerang (Attacking Stance)

Untuk menerapkan posisi menyerang, gerakkan tubuhmu ke dekat garis-garis lapangan atau area serang dan lebarkan kuda-kuda kakimu.

Setelah itu, angkat kedua lenganmu untuk menyiapkan kekuatan dan daya pukul.

2. Posisi Bertahan (Defensive Stance)

Untuk menerapkan posisi bertahan, kamu harus mengarahkan tubuhmu menghadap net dan memosisikan raket di depan pinggang/perut.

3. Posisi Melawan/Membalikkan Netting (Net Stance)

Net stance biasanya dilakukan ketika lawanmu tampak ingin melakukan netting. Untuk mengantisipasi netting, kamu harus berada di dekat net.

Setelah itu, raket perlu diposisikan di depan tubuhmu, sementara tubuhmu dimajukan sedikit agar kamu siap melakukan lompatan ke depan.

C. Gerak Kaki (Footwork)

Gerakan kaki pun perlu untuk diatur. Ada empat tips yang dapat kamu lakukan agar pergerakan bermainmu optimal.

Pertama, pastikan base atau starting point kamu, kemudian ingat. Kedua, mundurlah maksimal tiga langkah jika perlu mundur.

Ketiga, bergerak ke kanan-kirilah maksimal satu langkah bila diperlukan. Keempat, kamu hanya boleh maju maksimal tiga langkah jika harus maju.

D. Servis (Serve)

Servis adalah teknik dasar yang juga tidak penting untuk dipelajari. Apalagi, gerakan servis merupakan penanda bahwa permainan telah berlangsung.

Terdapat dua servis yang dapat dilakukan, yakni servis atas dan servis bawah. Berikut penjelasannya:

Servis Atas (High Serve)

Servis atas dilakukan dengan cara memukul kok menggunakan raket  yang posisinya di atas bahu atau kepala. Biasanya, laju kok akan cenderung horizontal

2. Servis Bawah (Low Serve)

Servis bawah dilakukan dengan cara memukul kok menggunakan raket yang posisinya di bawah bahu atau dada. Biasanya, laju kok akan cenderung melambung.

E. Smash

Teknik ini merupakan pukulan serangan terkuat yang terdapat di dalam permainan bulu tangkis. Seperti namanya, teknik ini benar-benar men-smash kok ke area target atau tubuh lawan.

Di samping itu, terdapat tiga tipe teknik smash yang dapat dilakukan, yakni forehand smash, backhand smash, dan jumping smash.

Forehand Smash

Teknik forehand smash adalah pukulan kok kuat yang dilakukan di atas kepala.

Backhand Smash

Teknik backhand smash merupakan salah satu teknik yang paling sulit dilakukan di dalam permainan badminton, bahkan para profesional saja kesulitan melakukannya.

Untuk melakukan teknik ini, kamu harus menggunakan teknik genggaman backhand grip, lalu melepaskan pukulan yang kuat.

Jumping Smash

Sebenarnya, teknik ini merupakan teknik forehand smash yang dilakukan dengan lompatan saja. Cara memukulnya masih sama dengan teknik forehand smash.

Sekian tentang olahraga Badminton yang saya ketahui.

[Unseen Academicals Meme from @reverdies' Giles Danby.]

‘They have no more idea of a friendly game than a cat has of a friendly mouse.’ ------------

"All the more reason not to play." The dry tone of Thera's voice was hidden by lack of volume - a manner only to be expected by a young woman presumed to be of lesser birth than many of her supposed peers. "I realise that's easier for me to say."

Many of the games at court took no more exertion than a rousing turn at dance, but they were also perceived to be a matter of skill and strategy, neither of which could possibly be attributed to anyone of the female sex. Therefore tennis, badminton and other such were the province of men - and considering the chaos and hard feelings that often ensued, Thera was more than willing to let that misperception lie.

Lord Danby, however, might not be so fortunate. His age and rank might spare him, but if the game caught the Queen's fancy and she wished to see him play ... a sigh, contemplating, before a wry sideways look. "Might be time to have a sudden, unfortunate attack of gout."
