How to Create an Effective Exercise Routine with Fitness Equipment

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy lifestyle has become more important than ever. One of the key components of a healthy lifestyle is regular exercise. Whether you're looking to lose weight, build muscle, or improve your overall health, incorporating fitness equipment into your exercise routine can help you achieve your goals more effectively. In this blog post, we'll explore how you can create an effective exercise routine using fitness equipment, focusing on commercial fitness equipment, commercial gym suppliers, commercial gym machines, and commercial gym equipment.

Set Clear Goals:

Before you start using fitness equipment, it's essential to set clear and achievable goals. Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, or improve your overall fitness, having specific goals will help you stay motivated and track your progress.

Choose the Right Equipment:

When selecting fitness equipment for your routine, consider your goals, fitness level, and budget. Commercial fitness equipment, such as treadmills, ellipticals, and stationary bikes, are great options for cardiovascular workouts. If you're looking to build muscle, consider incorporating weight machines, dumbbells, and kettlebells into your routine.

Start Slowly and Progress Gradually:

If you're new to exercise or have been inactive for a while, it's essential to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity of your workouts. This will help prevent injuries and allow your body to adapt to the new routine.

Mix Cardiovascular and Strength Training:

A well-rounded exercise routine should include both cardiovascular and strength training exercises. Cardiovascular exercises, such as running or cycling, help improve your heart health and burn calories. Strength training exercises, such as lifting weights, help build muscle and increase your metabolism.

Incorporate Flexibility and Balance Exercises:

In addition to cardiovascular and strength training, it's essential to incorporate flexibility and balance exercises into your routine. These exercises help improve your flexibility, balance, and range of motion, reducing the risk of injury and improving your overall performance.

Listen to Your Body:

It's important to listen to your body and adjust your routine accordingly. If you experience pain or discomfort during exercise, stop immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Overtraining can lead to injuries and setbacks in your fitness journey.

Stay Consistent:

Consistency is key to achieving your fitness goals. Try to exercise regularly, ideally at least 3-4 times per week, to see the best results. Remember that progress takes time, so be patient and stay motivated.

Conclusion

In conclusion, creating an effective exercise routine with fitness equipment requires setting clear goals, choosing the right gym equipment, starting slowly, mixing cardio and strength training, incorporating flexibility and balance exercises, listening to your body, and staying consistent. By following these tips, you can create a workout routine that helps you achieve your fitness goals and improve your overall health and well-being.

FAQs

Q: What is the best commercial fitness equipment for beginners? A: For beginners, it's best to start with simple and easy-to-use equipment such as treadmills, stationary bikes, or ellipticals. These machines provide a low-impact workout and are great for building cardiovascular endurance.

Q: How often should I change my commercial gym machines? A: The frequency of changing commercial gym machines depends on several factors, including the quality of the equipment, the usage intensity, and maintenance. Generally, high-quality machines can last for several years with regular maintenance and servicing.

Q: Are there any specific exercises I should avoid when using commercial fitness equipment? A: While commercial fitness equipment is generally safe to use, it's essential to use proper form and technique to avoid injury. Avoid using heavy weights or machines that you are not familiar with without proper supervision or instruction.

localized entirely on my blog and yours

remember cable tv? coming home and turning on the background noise machine and sometimes u end up catching a really cool random episode you have no context for? maybe you dont even know the show and can't keep any of the characters straight from scene to scene but it's still doing something interesting that grabs you? well do i have a group dash activity for you!

open for anyone who wants to follow along via dash liveblog to drop in or out at anytime. star trek familiarity isn't needed - this is how i got into star trek! i still frequently have no idea whats going on lol.

pluto.tv has multiple trek channels (we'll be switching between whichever of voy and dsnine is more interesting each week, probably. i miss my wives if im away from either one too long. they also aired in the same time and have some plot/character crossover). pluto is usa-only but can be vpn worked-around. pluto also runs like shit and breaks often. woo!!!!!!!!!!

Muscle Mastery Studio

A short commission I wrote a while ago for a friend of mine. I hope you enjoy it.

As Jamar completed another set of chest presses, he felt his massive pecs filling his tight shirt nicely, straining the fabric to its limits. Deep inside him, he wondered how his shirt hadn’t ripped yet. Like did after completing a set, Jamar stood up and flexed his impressive muscles, making them bounce magnificently. Then, he squeezed them and marveled at how big they felt.

He loved how big his pecs were becoming, still far from reaching his ultimate goal. That’s why he had loaded the barbell he had just benched with multiple heavy plates on each side. Looking around at the other guys in the gym, he noticed that nobody was benching as much as he had just done, noticing no one else had such a glorious chest as he did.

With a grin, Jamar continued to bounce his pecs and then moved on to the next machine. He started doing chest dips as he envisioned himself with the biggest set of pecs that had ever existed. While he had seen other guys with big chests, he wasn’t modest in admitting his pecs were already incredibly magnificent among them. However, there was no limit for the chest size he truly desired. With each rep, he felt his already massive chest becoming more pumped than ever before, only encouraging him to keep working out to see them blowing up with size. He was making some great efforts to achieve the massive chest he had always desired and knew he could go beyond his wildest dreams.

Jamar had been focusing his recent workouts on his chest because he wanted to live up to his nickname: King of Pecs. Every single inch of his body was incredibly impressive, but he had a special liking for unbelievably big pecs. He was called ‘King’ for a reason, and if he wanted to maintain his title, he needed to have the biggest pecs ever. That’s why, even though his routine was supposed to end with the dips, he moved to another machine and started doing cable crossovers repeatedly. He could feel his pectoral muscles burning, knowing it would lead to astonishing growth. He knew it was not time to stop; it was time for him to work out even harder. Nothing was gonna stop him now.

After what felt like an eternity, Jamar finally stopped and marveled at how massive his chest looked. He was sweating profusely after the hardcore workout, but it was all worth it. Despite the soreness in his chest, Jamar was so captivated by its size and shape that he didn’t care about the uncomfortable feeling. Instead of complaining, he took his tight shirt off and started flexing his pecs again because he loved seeing them bounce. Then, he grabbed his phone and recorded a short video of how amazing his pecs looked, knowing that his audience would love to admire how much their ‘King’ progressed after his workout.

Once Jamar had uploaded the video, he continued squeezing his pecs, trying to deal with the incredible, yet pleasurable, soreness. He knew very well that the uncomfortable sensation was a good sign for gaining more muscle mass. Even then, he remembered hearing great comments about a nearby massage clinic. He had never been there before, but some guys he knew enjoyed visiting the place after their workouts. As he looked down at his ridiculously pumped pecs once again, a big grin spread across his face, and he decided to pay a visit to the massage clinic.

Jamar went to the locker room to shower and grab his bag. All along, Jamar couldn’t resist squeezing his pecs whenever he had the chance, still amazed at how thick they were looking. By the time Jamar arrived at the massage clinic, his pecs felt somewhat sensitive after all the squeezing. Aside from that, as he looked down at his pecs and continued massaging them, he started to feel aroused. The sensation was different, but it only got Jamar even more excited.

“Good evening, sir. Welcome to Muscle Mastery Studio. My name’s Jake, and I will be assisting you today. How may I be of service?” Jake said with a friendly smile.

“I was hoping to get a massage? I just finished a long workout, and my pecs are kinda sore. Do you have anything that could help? My name’s Jamar, by the way,” Jamar said as Jake picked up some forms and started filling them up.

“I’m sure we can help, but before we proceed, may I confirm if your workout was intended for muscle development? If so, I have a very special massage in mind that can help you with the soreness and provide other benefits,” Jake said, looking enthusiastic.

“Well, yeah. Of course, it was for muscle development. I want to build bigger muscles. Does the massages depend on that?” Jamar asked.

“This one does, but I’ll explain more once we have begun. I signed you up for our UYP massage, which stands for Unleash Your Potential. I’m sure you’ll like it. Please, follow me,” Jake added, leading Jamar down the hallway.

When they entered a small room with a bed, Jamar immediately felt at peace because It was a nice place. The room was small and dimly lit, candles flickering on the wooden walls. The smell of lavender and eucalyptus immediately gave a relaxing sensation. As Jamar took a deep breath, enjoying the smell, Jake asked him to take off his shirt and lie on his back in bed. Jamar nodded and obeyed, already excited about the massage. He had some questions about the technique, but Jake looked professional as he prepared for the session. He decided to relax and enjoy the service instead.

Jake took some coconut oil and made sure to coat his hand with it to reduce friction during the massage. The oil also helped relax and stretch the skin, perfect for an ever-growing Jamar. With a kind smile, Jake stood behind Jamar’s head and leaned forward to lightly tap the man’s pecs with his open hand. As Jake continued this and eventually started rubbing Jamar’s chest very softly, he explained that it helped increase blood flow and relax the muscles. Even this simple warm-up, as Jake called it, was making Jamar feel nice.

Once the warm-up was completed, Jake used the palm of his hand to apply gentle strokes that started at the center of the chest and moved outward toward the shoulders. Although it was a simple motion, some soft moans escaped Jamar’s lips as the sensation exceeded his expectations. Every time Jake’s hands stroked his pecs, Jamar felt a peculiar surge of power building within his muscles. It was as if the massage was activating his muscles and actually unleashing their full potential.

Jake continued with the sweeping strokes, and Jamar couldn’t contain soft moans. As Jake worked on his pecs, Jamar looked down at his pecs and got confused as they looked thicker than before. However, he didn’t mind this change as he really wanted bigger-looking pecs, but he didn’t know a massage could achieve such results. As Jake spread more oil over Jamar’s chest, it was undeniable the muscles were relaxing but also thickening a lot.

Then, with more coconut oil in hand, Jake placed his fingertips on Jamar’s pecs and gently kneaded the tissue using circular motions. He started with light pressure and gradually increased it as Jamar felt all the tension going away. Another sensation spread through his chest as Jamar let out several “mmm” and “oooh, ahh.” Jamar paid close attention to his chest as Jake continued kneading, and he finally confirmed his suspicion: his pecs were getting bigger right before his eyes. The more Jake kneaded the flesh, the bigger they looked and the more aroused Jamar became.

Jake applied even more oil to the visibly expanding pecs and started squeezing the muscles using his fingers and thumbs. This sent shivers down Jamar’s spine and made the growth speed up. The more Jake squeezed and released the pectoral muscles, the more they grew. In just a brief moment, Jamar’s pecs went from huge to massive, quickly approaching inhuman proportions.

Jake continued his handy work and paid special attention to some knots he found, causing the muscles to expand even more. Jamar moaned and looked down in awe as his pecs swelled to the size of basketballs, and they were only getting bigger.

With each passing second, there was more surface for Jake to work on, but he gladly kept spreading oils over Jamar’s massive pecs. Jake started applying deep and targeted pressure using his thumbs, and this stimulation made Jamar pant heavily. As a result, his massive pecs heaved up and down with every breath he took, visibly growing larger with each rise. Jake started working on small circular motions, feeling the muscle tissue thicken under his touch. He knew that the pectoral muscles were quite sensitive, but Jamar’s overdeveloped pecs were giving him immense pleasure at the moment, causing the big guy’s cock to harden in his shorts.

For Jamar, the sensation was better than anything he had ever experienced. While Jake continued stroking Jamar’s pecs, paying close attention to the area around his overly sensitive nipples, the massive chest was close to beach-ball proportions.

The sheer size of Jamar’s pecs was accentuated by his heavy panting, which made them bounce. Also, the oil coating the overly stretched skin made the chest glisten magnificently under the light. Additionally, his nipples looked thicker and harder, prompting Jake to playfully tease them. All along, Jake continued massaging the massive muscles that now stuck out several feet in front of Jamar.

The muscular chest looked incredibly strong, and when Jamar raised his arms, the motion it caused on his pectorals was truly hypnotic. Jake smiled once again as his hands released Jamar’s newly enhanced pecs and shifted his gaze to another big thing bulging on Jamar’s lower body.

“How do you feel? Has the tension disappeared?” Jake asked, moving around the bed as Jamar came down from his high.

“It did and… fuck, that was intense. What did you do to me?” Jamar asked, sitting up and feeling the new weight of his massive pecs. They weren’t only truly gigantic, but the heaviness was just as amazing.

“Unleash your potential. That’s the primary purpose of this massage. I must admit, I’ve never seen such impressive results after just one session, or after any number of sessions. It seems you have incredible potential for muscle development,” Jake explained, sitting beside Jamar and gently tapping his massive chest. “Which brings me to another big thing I can take care of.”

“Oh… well, I guess I got a bit excited,” Jamar said when he realized Jake was referring to his huge dick that was painfully hard in his shorts. “Well, if you don’t mind, sure, go ahead,” Jamar added and took out his foot-long thick cock that was already throbbing with anticipation.

Jake looked at it in awe and immediately grasped the massive cock, to start working on it with the same passion he had shown for Jamar’s pecs. He had some tricks up his sleeve, so it didn’t take long for Jamar to start panting heavily, gasping for breath, and desperate for release. With a playful smile, Jake started moving his hands up and down on Jamar’s huge dick. The man-meat was so thick that Jake had to use both hands at first to pleasure his clients, but the loud moans coming out of Jamar’s mouth were proof that he liked it a lot.

As Jake started firmly stroking Jamar’s huge dick, a constant stream of pre leaked out of it. This helped Jake to massage the skin more passionately. With his right hand, he started using his thumbs to press subtly at the thick base, then extending the motion to the glands. This sent shivers down Jamar’s spine and made him tremble in pure ecstasy. As Jake repeated this process a few more times, he noticed Jamar’s cock looking more pumped than before, as the massage increased the blood flow.

As Jake’s right hand kept stimulating Jamar’s cock, his left hand moved to the big guy’s plump balls. After carefully fondling them, Jake started squeezing them with passion, and this increased the moans echoing in the room. Jake rubbed small circles around the area near the base of the dick, and he saw Jamar’s body trembling even more. Jake felt the flawless cum-filled orbs getting even fuller because of Jamar’s arousal. Jake’s skilled hands were working wonders, and Jamar could barely contain his horniness and excitement. He was so incredibly aroused that he couldn’t resist rubbing his own massive pecs, losing control within a second.

“Ohh… dude… mmm… I can’t hold back anymore…” Jamar managed to say between moans. The heavy panting, the loud moans, and the fact that Jamar’s dick was leaking lots of pre-cum, were early signs that he was about to shoot a massive load. “Aahh yes… fuck yes… Jake… I’m cumming… ohh… ahhh… FUCK!” With a loud groan, Jamar’s cock started shooting huge globs of thick pre.

Both of them were astonished by the sheer volume of Jamar’s the cum load, as it was like a gushing firehose. Massive globs of thick cum landed on Jamar’s abs and pecs, and even on the walls beside him, as buckets of cum also coated his groin. The wave of cum was so immense that Jake’s hands and the mattress were also covered by a thick layer of cum.

He looked around and noticed the massive mess he had created, but he was simply too excited about his newly enhanced chest to care about the big mess. As Jamar marveled at the biggest orgasm he had ever had, Jake smiled at him and started carefully cleaning the massive amount of cum from Jamar’s body.

“That was quite a big load. The biggest I’ve ever seen. I think I truly unlocked cock’s and balls’ potential too,” Jake said as he carefully wiped off the cum that had landed on Jamar’s chest. The big man burst out in laughter, making his ballooned pecs jiggle hypnotically.

Credits — 👑|👑|👑 — 👑|👑|👑

What if spiderman! Au, masc!reader being something similiar to Spider-Man, a teenager and gets to work for the government when he's caught. Of course suffering through the court etc -> as in assault charges that can be linked to him even if it was against bad guys. Y'know lol .

Also bad guys just being criminals most of the time. And actually being normal people. Ofc there can be an alternative of serums etc etc.

If they were serumed up then there would be more chaos tbh.

But I'm still thinking wether or not it be the known sci-fi type with differences to the actual Spider-Man powers. Also bc i personally love jumping spiders, i think the powers will circle them specifically. ( So the suit design descriped wouldn't be the one Spider-Man actually wears bc originality if i ever continue on this concept lol )

R just swinging around and avoiding cops and agents as he starts to realise he's being chased / targeted.

His powers are seen as something pricy and unique, one could say people may be interested in seeing him fighting in a rink.

I think he would be a lab rat if caught by anybody who has the proper or improper equipment and skill(s) to be used.

I think the first time he'd use his powers would be after being attacked or scared and having the fight or flight response activated.

Most likely panicked and absolutely bat shit scared.

At some point may have had something to do with a murder or being an accessory in it. Koff Koff. Or maybe just do something with a murder of somebody in general bc of not knowing how much power he actually has.

:0 Vigilante good guy misinterpreted to be a bad guy bc his powers went haywire.

Oh yeah heh mentioned jumping spiders above, think about ultraviolet vision as something R would be able to access.

Also bc of 15-16 y.o R he would be in highschool during these times. ( Think about it being the present)

Getting a dog for his own protection, company and to combat the possible paranoia the shit underneath may have caused and is spoke of.

Yes I'm kinda just portraying this origin of Reader to be close to the original spider-man origin. Thinking of ways he could get his powers; i don't like the origin how that ended, bc angst i need angst and the Reader being a full lab rat by being kidnapped for tests with other people. Either they survived it or died during the testing. ( I think he could have been a bit younger when this happened. )

Also kinda wanna include Survivalist intuition(link) to the mix in a way, not only for thee possible danger intuition that will be part of the myriad of things the testing may have given him.

Having a friend group that somewhat knows what's up with the reader and tries to help him as much as they can. Which includes possible not talking to the cops or FBI if being questioned at one point bc the fbi found possible lead to the reader after seeing him appearing around newspapers and the streets of Virginia mainly.

If the reader does have parents they are spoken with aswell, if he does not then he's basically taken in as the shared child of the BAU team in time lmao .

If he does not have parents as in they aren't really there in his life that much.

Finding out he's a student, a minor in general surprises them a little, especially after connecting dots and finding out what may or may not have happened to him when he was younger.

After being caught he's held accountable for the crimes he's committed. And doesn't exactly deny them either. But he's also offered a possible job bc they could actually use someone like him in the forces due to his powers.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait what if more sci-fi type of shit is going on and the technology is a little more advanced from the 2000- 2018 (i think?) Technology evolution. And the reader was tech savvy and build his own equipment and instead of actual webs or chemically composed webs it's just wires?? Like grappling hooks but small and study as fuck ¿¿ Lmao

So like in a way he's not smart in chemistry way, but in technology & physics way if you will lol ??

And if the reader liked a more colorful arcade-ish designs ?? :0

The fanfiction would be a crossover obviously, but idk if there would a specific world to be put in. Bc spider verse! Reader sounds really cool. Especially arcade-aesthetic style/ tech savvy(kinda like Peni from Spiderverse, but not completely y'know?) version would be really cool.

AAAAAAAAAAA— just thinking about a case where spiderverse! Reader is already part of BAU and is sent to go undercover in a school campus bc there's a killer and nobody knows anything and he's the only one that could easily without raising any suspicious'

Also how he's secretive about being hurt and sucking it up to bandages himself home bc that's basically what he's been doing. The amount of scars and wounds he has and how's he not dead yet ?? The teams shook lol .

Oh also JJ's basic maternal instinct; he's basically if put to work with the BAU department under Hotch as a trainee also under her, Emily and Penny's gaze. Also Hotch and Derek lol imo would look after the reader a little if they're assigned with him.

Also Derek will absolutely if the Reader is energetic and speaks alot pretend to be annoyed before actually being annoyed bc he can't catch a break off of you ( in this situation he'd voice it out politely. Instead of ignoring R completely lol ) . Also teasing how much of a motor mouth R can be.

With Reid he can absolutely talk about the most random things that come to mind and if he doesn't know what R's on about R can actually educate him on it !

Also i actually think especially if the Reader is neurodivergent Reid would absolutely be the best person to talk about hyperfixations and specials interests. In other seriousness you could pour your interests and likes to him and you'd get a good conversation out of it :³ .

Also mama hen Rossi content. You cannot convince me this man does not hen over the team in general. I have seen too many headcanons and hints off of this, + the show let's it up as well in some episodes and I am headcanoning it myself lmao. He's really caring tbh.

Can you already tell I'm hip deep in found family trope content with the old BAU team lol ?

Absolutely think once Penny gets a sniff at something R's interested in she's going to get him something related to that to keep his mind off of the dark things the job forces him into. She's absolutely the one you could just pour out and she's ready to help, care and possible be doting ;; .

Also just randomly thinking about those roof-top chase scenes where reader would be the dominant one bc he could catch up faster with the target especially if it's jumping roof top to roof top. Bc naturally much stronger and longer leaps than a human can do and more stamina. ( Bc of having a jumping spider specific powers )

[demon-blood-youths]

Also, what about Davion! Do you have more intense wet dreams about him?

Jeez. These anons are freaking noisy. Rust sets his drink down on the table before groaning, "Listen man...are you really here to know about my love life or something? Like what the hell?" Rust doesn't want to say it. There were intense wet dreams that the knight had of Davion. The ones that keep occurring a few times were.

----

"Ha..ha...how does this help?"

"It helps with your muscle and increase your stamina, little knight."

"Nugh....yeah right." Rust doubts it.

The knight and the dragon were in the gym. They were exercising and training as usual. It starts off as tame at first. Like it's the usual workout but then it turns into teasing and then this.

It started out with Davion massaging his joints and his back to ease the nicks of his mucles. Then he went to his chest, and he felt him ghosting over his pecs before rubbing his pecs. Whenever he does this, he flushes his cheeks pink. Davion notices this and starts to tease his pecs further. Of course, Rust tells him to knock off and it leads to where the knight tells Davion that he can build up resistance to his touches.

To prove his point, Davion presents a challenge for the little knight that he can't say no to. A small bet. It starts off with using toys. A vibrator inside as he is using the exercise machines. Crazy bastard. He is sweating and heated, trying to focus on his sets. But he had to mess with him by adjusting the settings on this damn thing.

He is doing sets by lifting dumbbells in each arm. He focus on his sets but the toy is vibrating his spots, making his legs tremble a bit. He tries to steel his nerves as he continues his sets. "Seriously...how does this help?" "What's wrong, little knight? Are you tired already?" Davion teases as he is holding the remote in his hand. Rust huffs, "Faaar from it...hnng. I can still keep going." He said while his cheeks were flushed pink. He won't let Davion win. No way. However..things are getting harder from there.

He is doing sets on the leg press machine. He rests his back against the padded seat and presses his legs upwards against the pad that is attached to the weights. Davion said it helps with his legs. But he wants to see if he can handle the sensation in his ass while doing sets. He pushes his legs against the pad, doing his set. Every time he pushes, the vibrator touches his sensitive spots making him grit his teeth. After finishing his sets, he pants.

"Ha..ha...ha...."

"Was that hard for you?" Then Davion blinked, seeing the sweating Rust whose face heated and with his eyes half-lidded. Seeing him like this makes him tempting. He wants to take him right now.

"Fuck..." Rust uttered. And soon, they move away from the toys and go for the real thing. By the real thing, it means Davion is buried inside Rust while he is standing up, pulling the handles.

"Haaaa....haaa..."

Rust is using the cable crossover machine by pulling the handles while Davion is holding him steady. The blond gasped before growling a little. The dragon's hard girth is rubbing at the right spots making him gasp and drool a little.

"What's wrong? Are you doing alright?" Said the dragon, nibbling the lobe of his ear making the blond pant. "Mhmmm...I'm fine...you crazy dragon." He said with his cheeks heated. "A-almost done..." He pulls his head away from him.

"Good. Then can you help me with some sets. I need a spotter." Davion chuckled.

-----

The dream is visual and....damn....what would he call it? Kinky? What the fuck? What the hell is wrong with him?

----

He was helping Davion with the weights. He got on his lap while holding onto him. His bottom half is bare while straddling his lap. He panted. "How..how would this help?" Rust asked, wincing a bit.

"This is training for my cock and for your hips." Davion said at his ear while the blond is holding onto him. Davion is using the overhead press machine with Rust on his lap or rather on his hard girth, bouncing on it. While he is doing sets, Rust makes sure to hold on while counting. Seeing the look on the blond's face made the dragon hungrier and hungrier. He wants to eat him up.

"Ha...ha...damn." Rust said. "17....18...ah.....19....hrk...20." He said, uttering the counting wile closing his eyes. He keeps moving his hips down when Davion thrusts up when doing his sets.

After doing that...

----

Rust's cheeks flushed even redder, he hid his face in his hands before pulling his hoodie down. Darn it. Why does he keep remembering that dream?! He is getting aroused by this.

----

"Haahhh...fuck...hahhhahh...how much...longer?...oohhhhh" Rust whined as he is on his back with his hips lifted and being held by the dragon as the blond's legs were hooked under his arms. His lower back is off the mat and only his upper back is on the mat. Davion grunts as he keeps thrusting his hips forward making the knight moan and mewl.

"Ah...fuck....hnnng..." Rust panted as there is drool from the corner of his mouth.

The duo are on a gym mat that is being used for sit-ups, push-ups, and other exercise positions. And what they're doing is an exercise position. Or rather....Davion calls it that despite Rust knowing this is a sex position they're in.

The blond had his wrists tied up by jump rope, making this more hotter and dominant. He never thought that they would do this here in the gym!

The knight gasps and moans as the dragon keeps thrusting into him deeply. He also snaps his thrusts making him cry out loud. "Ah..AH! FUCK!"

"Hahaha...I won't be able to keep up this. How many sets are we in, little knight?"

"Is this for me or for you?" He complained but his rear got spanked making him yelp. "For both of us, my treasure." Davion chided him with a smirk making Rust flush redder. "now where were we?" Davion corrects him before giving another powerful thrust. The blond screams before he tries to remember where they are at.

"Um....um...20...20 more." The knight answers under him. "20 more sets to go." He said with his tongue out with half-lidded eyes. The blond isn't sure if he can withstand anymore of this. But he doesn't want this to stop. Damnit. It feels too good.

"Good boy." Daivon said, continue to thrust into him. Rust tightens up hearing that and looks up towards the ceiling. He can't even buck his hips since Davion has them in a tight grip. "Fuck...Davion...don't stop..."

"Don't worry...like you said...we got 20 sets to go!" Davion proceeds to increase the pace, hitting his prostrate dead-on making his knight moan loudly. "N-NOT THERE! DON'T HIT THERE!"

"You mean here???" Daivion delivers a precise pounding at the right spots, making the blond leak out as he throws his head back with a pleasurable scream. "Now keep track...little treasure."

"I-I will! I WILL!" Rust obeyed as he counted once more. The dragon chuckles and says, "I guess I win this bet, don't I?" He keeps on pounding.

"Y-yeah...you did!" Rust moaned. Davion keeps on going and it's hard to keep track. Rust cries and tightens up, he's getting close. Really close. Davion growls as he is getting close, not letting up as he keeps plowing and claiming his knight once more.

"Ah...I'm getting close. Are you close?" Davion asked, not stopping until his treasure cums.

"Y-yeah...I am. Need your heat! PLEASE! I want it!" Rust cried.

"Then let's come together!" Davion exclaimed before letting out a roar as both came.

------

In reality, Rust had to sit down and put his head in his hands. He tries to close his legs together. "Go away...anon. Not telling ya"

[Fanfic] Android and His Oseram - Chapter 1: The Android

Decided to crosspost my fanfic on my sparkling new fanfic account! I'll post up the entire chapter if they can fit as well as the AO3 link.

---

Title: The Android and His Oseram

Chapter Title: The Android (Chapter 1) Summary: A thousand years since the world ended. A thousand years until Oseram delver Gildun accidentally stumbles upon a deactivated CyberLife RK800 android called "Connor", buried deep in the crumbling ruins of the Old Ones, in a discovery that'll send him into the Forbidden West. Together a man and a machine fail upward.

Crossover canons: Horizon games / Detroit: Become Human

Main characters: Connor (DBH) and Gildun (Horizon)

Chapter 1 - The Android

This Old Ones ruin looks like many of the others Gildun has already run across, with strange, often downright bizarre architecture accompanied with designs that he can only guess at their purpose. Cables and hard angles. Signs of metalwork that no Oseram forge can duplicate. The dull creaks of the ruins settling, days or years from finally collapsing on themselves. The steady, distant drip-drip-drip of water leaking somewhere from compromised hulls as the outside world creeps in, as vines and undergrowth venture deeper where even a delver can’t go. 

The good news is this ruin doesn't have the immediate signs of machines prowling inside with their usual tell-tale blue gleam. Okay, so maybe there's a yet in there but Gildun's anything if not optimistic.

Incidentally he's also adept at running.

"You'll be fine!" Gildun mutters to himself. "Even checked the door was propped open this time!"

Aloy's been gone for a few weeks but the invaluable lessons she imparted remains, with Number 1 being Don't Lock Yourself In Again. It's a lesson that Gildun's taken to heart as he double and triple checked the door was propped up open by a rock large enough to work him into a sweaty, gasping mess by the time he finished shoving it into place.

All that noise and still no machines coming to investigate. No clicking or armor scraping or bouncing blue glows of metal eyes waiting to turn alert-yellow or danger-red.

In fact the only direct glow can be found at the very bottom of the ruins, after navigating shattered shafts and crumbling stairs, past a door with the faded all-caps print of STORAGE. Past crates of parts, weapons, and long-expired food stores, the source can be found in a corner. Half-hidden, covered in cobwebs, is what appears to be a man-sized object slumped on its side, the statue sprawled from a broken crate in a curious fetal position, and wearing a strange cut of clothes that almost looks like it's real.

Correction, he thought it was a statue at first, between the dust and the cobwebs and the fact that it's highly unlikely anyone could be living down here. But there's a - a light, small and red, a tiny thumb-sized, weakly pulsing circle that's just…just…

Well, it's just begging to be touched.

So he does. Gildun reaches out and presses a finger against the red mystery light.

The "statue" whirrs, twitches, and suddenly sits up in one smooth motion, still wearing a shroud of grim cobwebs thick as an Oseram funeral veil. Gildun isn't even aware that he's yelped - and yes, it's a full-on yelp, no two sparks about it - only that he's fallen back on his behind with a gloved hand clapped tight over his mouth as he peers at The Thing, wide-eyed, and trying desperately not to choke on his own spit.

The red light flickers from red to gold to the all-too familiar blue of a Machine as what appears to be the statue's head swivels toward Gildun. For a second he has the rare, maybe not so foolish thought that he should stop poking things.

That thought flies right out the window as The Thing speaks.

"Recalibrating visual and auditory sensors…complete."

- It-it speaks! It actually speaks!

"Unable to sync time/date. CyberLife servers unavailable for patching. Memory corrupted…checking partitions."

Not only does it speak, it sounds just like a man's voice! 

Gildun's hand drops to reveal his gape as he watches The Thing miraculously reach up and begin to brush away cobwebs, feathery green-gray moss soft as silk, and ancient dust. The gape only gets bigger as a young man's face emerges from the veil of the Old Ones just as his - its? his? - voice did mere seconds ago.

"...Apologies for the delay in introducing myself. My name is Connor, I'm the andr - "

Gildun can't hold it back anymore, the words exploding out in a squeak. " - You have a name?!"

Connor, whatever or whoever he is, nods, his dark head still wreathed with debris that he's still combing out with long, elegant fingers that look like they belong on a Carja noble who hasn't worked a day in his life and has the missing calluses to show for it. His hair’s cropped too short, though, and there’s a total lack of decorative face paint or fancy-pants jewelry. The whole time that strange light throbs in a glowing circle stamped above his right brow and for a feverish second Gildun wonders if maybe Connor's Banuk. No, he doesn't look like any Banuk I've seen, he thinks, and he finds that the strange tattoo Connor wears is downright distracting now that he thinks about it. 

Try as he might, his eyes keep darting up to the damned thing.

"Yes," says Connor, "unless you would prefer my serial number but I find most humans prefer vernacular names for convenience. What's yours?"

Before he can think better of it, "Gildun. …Wait, what?"

Connor only tilts his head, the gesture almost bird-like as he continues cleaning himself off with efficient swipes of his hands against his emerging shoulders and torso. 

Gildun has to forcibly pull his eyes away from the hypnotic blue tattoo yet again.

"Let's wheel the cart around: what do you mean, humans? Serial number?"

The young man pauses in the middle of fussing with a curious strip of black cloth seemingly tied around his neck like a leash cut short. It doesn't appear to be tied to anything else, which turns the "maybe he's a captive?" thought to ash. 

"Humans. Homo sapien. What you are," Connor adds like that clears it all up; there’s something vaguely patronizing in his unassuming voice. "All androids such as myself have manufacturing serial numbers, as you can see right here."

Now he taps himself and Gildun realizes with a start that even his strange clothes - tailored in ways he's never seen before, unidentifiable fabrics in grays and black - is glowing, too, this time with a bright aquamarine band looped around an upper arm, a matching triangle gleaming against his chest, and angular, boxy white glyphs scrawled across as well. These he recognizes: Aloy had breezily pointed them out before, said they were Old Ones numbers, and left it at that as if wasn't the most fascinating thing you could casually drop in a conversation.

"I'd like to look around if you don't mind, Gildun."

"Uh, sure, go ahead - h-hold on, wait just an honest minute now! What's an android?"

Connor stands to his full height, towers over the poor Oseram delver still sitting shell-shocked on his butt, and says, patiently, as if it should be perfectly obvious to all parties present:

"A humanoid robot, Gildun. In layman’s terms, I'm a machine."

Friends and Foes

I should find a proper name for this crossover AU, if only for tagging purposes... (Suggestions, and feedback in general, are never unwelcome.)

---

“Scrap,” Arcee cursed. “That might make things more difficult.”

Glitch was more than a little inclined to agree with her. The two femmes were surveying yet another Vehicon fossil hunt from a crevice in a rock formation some way above the dig, just big enough for the small, agile two-wheelers. That was the fact that the hunt was being supervised in person – for once – by the Decepticon second-in-command, Starscream, who was bad news in any reality.

“What’s your version like?” ‘Cee asked to pass the time as both ‘bots made a more thorough assessment of their situation.

“A bit less dangerous and a lot more colourful, but otherwise pretty similar. Treacherous, devious and too clever by three-quarters – often too clever for his own good. Whenever he’s in play, there are at least three sides to any conflict.” Glitch had never met her universe’s Starscream, but the rest of her team had, all too often.

“Sounds about right.” ‘Cee wasn’t paying much attention; her focus kept swinging back to the silver flier ordering his troops about. Glitch knew why, and that she couldn’t let her friend become too focused on that target. It was a good thing she was never short of distractions.

“A while back, he cloned himself in another attempt to take Megatron offline, but ended up with five aspects of his own personality to wrangle. A coward, an egomaniac, a pathological liar, a sycophant and a female.”

Arcee turned to stare at the younger ‘bot in disbelief – then clamped a servo over her speech synthesiser to stifle a fit of giggles. Mission accomplished, Glitch thought as the tension left her teammate’s frame (for the moment); laughter was a sovereign remedy for anger as well as fear.

If only her own problems were that easy to solve. She’d hidden it from ‘Cee – she hoped – but that day was shaping up to be a Bad Day for her, and the capital letters were merited. Her processor was killing her, her frame felt like so many cables and springs under almost too much tension and every small sensory input drove her further up the wall. Back in Detroit, her team would have seen the signs by then. Her training with Optimus, Jazz and Ratchet would have been adjusted – not cancelled, as a real enemy wouldn’t care what sort of day she was having, but altered to be constructive but not overwhelming – Elita would have left her alone and Bee would have been far quieter than usual, and maybe even offered to take her shift on monitor duty, his least favourite chore (especially since Optimus had put his ped down about using the alternate monitor for combat training, i.e. playing video games on the television). With luck and care, she could get through her patrols and other duties without incident.

But Team Prime didn’t officially know about that (although one could never be sure with Prime himself; being paired with laconic Arcee, rather than a chatty sports car or noisy Wrecker, might not have been a coincidence). Glitch hadn’t told them more than necessary about her… differences. That was probably hypocritical of her, after the audialful she’d given Prime on a similar subject, but old habits died hard. For centuries, she had had to pretend to be normal as best she could just to get where she felt she was meant to be, fighting through every Bad Day for as long as she could without breaking down. The “cog in a machine” mindset that was common on her Cybertron affected even those who, like her, considered it so much bauxite, and a cog that didn’t turn as it should was usually thrown away. Optimus had given her a chance to leave that system behind, but on finding herself transported to a strange new universe she had automatically fallen back on what she knew, whether or not that was a good idea.

“Female? Seriously?” ‘Cee asked once she could get herself back under control, drawing Glitch out of her thoughts, not a moment too soon.

“Deadly. Almost literally, worse luck. Slipstream’s the most dangerous of the lot. Gave me this.” The smaller fembot indicated the scar on her chestplate, right beside her spark chamber. “Well, half of it. Ambushed Bee and me; I saw her first, so I was the one she pinned to a wall. Had to pull myself free to protect him.” Two digits traced the band of yellow, interrupted by a black stripe, around her right wrist. She’d need to touch it up soon; it was starting to wear away. “Bee kept me online long enough for our Ratchet to get there and stabilise me. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be here.”

Arcee’s optics, which had been following Glitch’s servo, flicked up to her face and studied it for a moment. “Your Bumblebee – he’s not just your partner, is he?”

“No.” Glitch hadn’t wanted to discuss that topic too much with most of the team, especially the younger mechs, but ‘Cee was different. She’d understand, and wouldn’t tease.

“Bonded?” Another good thing about ‘Cee – she didn’t dance around the subject, but got straight to the point.

“Not yet, or engaged, but it’s a case of when, not if, I think. If he asked, I’d say yes in a sparkbeat, and as far as I can tell he feels the same way, but the time just – hasn’t been right yet.” And might never be.

Arcee smiled, but there was grief in her optics. “You’re lucky. Some ‘bots never find that special person. Whether you and your Bee do get bonded or not… hold on to him.” Her optics returned to Starscream as her expression hardened. “I’ve lost two partners now, and I don’t want you even to lose one.”

“I know.” Glitch had been fully briefed on ‘Cee’s recent history. “Which is why you’re not going anywhere near Starscream on my watch. I’ll pull medic rank on mental health grounds if I must. There’s needing closure and then there’s wanting revenge, and I’m pretty sure I know the difference.”

“What do you know about that?” The sudden anger in her friend’s tone was like a slap across the audial, but Glitch didn’t take it personally. She knew its real targets – Airachnid and Starscream. “When have you ever wanted to hurt someone as much as they hurt you?”

“Not recently, but I know a mech who has.” At least Arcee was still listening. “He was framed for espionage. Spent centuries in the cyber-stockade. Escaped and went after the ‘bot who reported him, not knowing that they’d both been set up. Tried to get even, but just made enemies of the only Autobots who knew he was innocent, other than the real spy. Eventually, he was so desperate for revenge that he let himself be used in an experiment that turned him into a techno-organic. There’s nothing wrong with being half-organic, but the transformation is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, even when it doesn’t end in a transwarp explosion.” She tilted her head as a thought struck her, and raced out of her synth before she could catch it. “Actually, one could say Wasp was my worst enemy back in boot camp. Resident bully, worse than Sentinel. At least drill sergeants are meant to be something like that.”

‘Cee stared at her again, then shook her head. “You’re unbelievable. First you go soft on Knock Out.”

“That’s not how he saw it.” In point of fact, the ‘Con medic had tried to kill the field-tech when she invaded his mind, despite the facts that he’d just done the same thing to her via cortical psychic patch and she hadn’t done anything but try to comfort him, realising that he was still grieving for his own partner. Glitch had filled Team Prime in on everything that had happened while she was in Decepticon servos, both for her own sake and to avoid anyone – especially a certain blue and yellow sports car – making up their own version of events.

Arcee carried on regardless. “Then you expect me to sympathise with a bully. And the craziest part is, it’s working.”

“Glad to hear it.” Glitch returned her attention to the scene below them. “I’ll draw Screamer away; you go after the bone. Sound like a plan?” It did – though Arcee agreed to it on one condition.

A few cycles later, as the silver Seeker commander wandered away from the tedious grubbing in the dirt he was expected to supervise (but not do, thank Primus), he caught sight of a distinctive bronze Earth motorcycle, the alt-mode of that new Autobot, trying to sneak around to the dig site. Even he couldn’t use his jet mode with so many rocks in the way, and by the time a Vehicon got there she’d have disappeared again, so he gave chase himself on foot (the terrain wasn’t ideal for her alt either), cornering her in a small box canyon. She transformed and activated her magnetic weapons, but didn’t have time to use them before his missile struck her in the chestplate.

And passed straight through, exploding against the rock wall behind her. Starscream had to shield his face from flying shards of stone, which hadn’t touched the accursed Autobot. Her wrists were bare - apart from a strip of yellow paint – but still… “Phase displacement armour?”

“No, hologram,” Glitch said, standing just behind him. She’d had that hologram projector for months, having inherited it from her predecessor Prowl, but had only used it to simulate a human rider or show movies – until recently. After her capture and rescue, she had started figuring out how to use it to create decoys, as Prowl had. It was remarkably intuitive, and extremely versatile. A copy of herself had been easy to make and control.

As Starscream spun round to face her, her laser scalpel sliced his other missile clean off his arm (the uneven terrain could be made to work in her favour); it clattered to the canyon floor, and was crushed under her ped before he could retrieve it. Vile thing. “Should have gone for the null-ray, or a sonic cannon. No need to reload after two shots.”

“Oh, they weren’t my only weapon.” Starscream’s razor-sharp claws swiped at Glitch’s neck, but she ducked the blow without really thinking. His actions were as loud as his voice to her, and much more truthful than his words. Her computational ability could give her a crucial advantage in combat – she could calculate, with a fair degree of accuracy, her opponent’s next move, often in plenty of time to block and counter it, and so fast and instinctively that it felt like an extension of her senses, as though she were “hearing” their intentions. Some people could “lie” – feint – very well; her sensei Jazz, straight as a spirit level in conversation, was an excellent liar in combat, when he “spoke” at all. Starscream, though, for all his deceptive ways, told the truth through his body language. And couldn’t shut up in either sense. “And I’m sure your friend Arcee told you how much I hate two-wheelers.”

“She did.” Glitch blocked an attempt to stab her in the chest, countering with a punch to the under-protected side of Starscream’s abdomen. “On the other hand, I’m none too fond of arrogant Decepticons without a shred of backstrut who can’t stop talking to save their sparks, so I suppose it balances out.”

“I’m surprised – what the spark was that?” “That” was a rapid-fire combination of kicks and punches that had left Starscream somewhat dented (he’d only intercepted a couple of strikes) and Glitch’s servos only a little more scuffed.

“Metallikato Sigma. I should’ve warned you, I trained under a cyber-ninja, as well as Sentinel Prime.”

“He’s still alive in your universe, then?” Blast. He knew where she was from, then. And she couldn’t use that line any more. Pity. It had been nice while it lasted. “As I was saying, I’m surprised she isn’t here, considering that I killed her partner.” He was altogether too pleased with himself about that.

“Which is exactly why I kept her away from you. For her sake, not yours. By the way, your counterpart was responsible for the death of Optimus Prime, so I’d say you’ve got some catching up to do.” The shocked look on his face was unsettlingly satisfying to see.

For the nanoklik before his previous anger returned. “Oh, do I? Well, I’d better start – with you!” She had made the mistake of taking her optics off him for just too long; three of his claws raked her left forearm, leaving three deep cuts from the servo-joint down to her shield, which they almost tore clean off. She managed to pull away before he could take one of her most useful mods, and her arm was still functional, but the cuts were sparking badly and hurt. He’d have been asking for it on a normal day, let alone a Bad Day.

For a few frantic cycles, she kept the upper servo as he struggled to adjust to her shifting from “calm and defensive” to “furious and half-feral”, but it quickly became clear that she had been right to keep ‘Cee away from him; despite having little to no history with the Decepticon SIC, too often her own rage led to carelessness that could have been fatal, as rash attacks left vital areas unguarded for almost too long. Pretty soon, they were back to stalemate; Glitch had acquired a few more superficial scrapes, while the tip of one of the spikes on Starscream’s knees had been sliced clean off, among other injuries – which didn’t hinder him nearly enough.

Commander Starscream! One of the Vehicons ‘Cee was fighting – the two Autobots had open comm lines to each other, so Glitch knew her friend was doing well – had finally managed to call his superior officer, not quite distracting him as he resisted his opponent’s attempt at a judo-style throw. We’re under attack by the Autobot Arcee. She’s destroyed the Predacon fossil. What are your orders, Commander?

“Retreat, you fool!” Starscream’s self-preservation instinct was strong in any universe, and he sometimes knew a lost cause when he saw one. “That Autobot isn’t going to be beaten by the likes of you. Transform and rise up, or whatever the stupid phrase is.” He took his own advice, shoving Glitch to the rock-strewn ground, shifting into a jet and soaring unsteadily away. The field-tech probably couldn’t have stopped him even had she not had other problems at that moment.

***

What’s he done to her? When Arcee finally tracked down her teammate – thank the Allspark the ground wasn’t all rock; tyre prints showed up well on grass and earth – she had curled up into a tight ball, eyes closed and hands pressed to her audials as though she were trying to shut out everything, and was rocking backwards and forwards slightly – completely out of character for the normally fierce, brave femme. If Starscream had caused that, he would pay.

Knowing the damage those hands could do, Arcee tried to pull them away from her friend’s head, but Glitch recoiled as though she’d been struck. “Don’t! – sorry.” Each word made her flinch, as though even the sound of her own voice was too much.

As gently as she could, Arcee asked, “What – how can I help?” She realised at the last moment that “what can I do to help?” was the wrong question. Sometimes, helping someone didn’t require doing anything – quite the reverse.

She was right. “Just – be.” Be there, Arcee filled in. “It’ll pass.” So Glitch had been expecting this. Which meant it wasn’t entirely Screamer’s fault.

She waited patiently with her comrade as seemingly endless minutes slipped by and the younger ‘bot slowly calmed herself and gradually uncurled – until, without warning, she practically threw herself at Arcee, wrapping her slender arms around her friend in an almost armour-denting hug. Arcee returned it, as for whatever reason Glitch now seemed to need to be touched and held, until the tiny medibot wriggled free to sit on the ground beside the taller warrior, looking much happier than she had all day.

“Better?” Arcee enquired.

“Much.” She sounded better, certainly. “Sorry you had to see that. It hasn’t been that bad for a long time.”

“That’s happened to you before?” Arcee had deduced that earlier, of course, but wanted to double-check. “So it wasn’t anything Starscream did?”

“Not exactly, and yes, now and then. My processor’s wired differently from most. Usually the main downside to that is only a bit of a problem with social things, optic contact, expressions and so on, but some days even simple tasks need all my focus, if I can do them at all – executive dysfunction, humans call it, I think. And some days, that happens.” Arcee waited again while Glitch lined her next thoughts up; without her realising it, that had become second nature. “There – isn’t much of a filter between my sensors and my CPU, and at times it breaks down completely and everything just becomes too much. I know the warning signs, and usually I can take it easy and get away with it – maybe space out for a bit, but that’s all. Today, though, I had to go on this mission and I had to fight Starscream. Result – worst meltdown in stellar-cycles. Worth it, I’d say.”

Arcee wasn’t so sure – though Starscream had been sent packing with his tailfin metaphorically between his legs, which might not have happened had Arcee, still furious with the ‘Con over her partner’s death, gone after him instead. She also decided to shelve her friend’s deeper issues until they could discuss them with Prime and Ratchet; they would know what to do about them. Besides, she was curious about something she’d heard over the comm. “Did your Starscream really kill your Optimus?”

“Technically, for the minute or two it took Sari to use the Allspark Key and the Allspark itself to revive him. He and Starscream were playing tug-of-war over the Allspark high above Detroit, and it got fed up and threw them both off. Damaged their systems, and Optimus fell pretty hard onto tarmac. Screamer, lucky beggar, ended up in the forest nearby – much softer landing – but stuck in stasis-lock, until a human girl found him.” Glitch’s familiar silly grin lit up her face for the first time that day. “He persuaded her to reboot his systems, but she insisted on fixing him up first – with makeup and a pink wig.” Arcee couldn’t help but burst out laughing, the image was so ridiculous – though another idea soon sobered her up. “I imagine he didn’t take that well.”

“He didn’t, but she countered his threats by promising to broadcast a picture of him “fixed up” all around the world, and possibly the galaxy, if he harmed her. Professor Princess might be about half Raf’s age, but she’s not to be taken lightly.” (Professor Princess? Half Raf’s age? The more Arcee heard about Glitch’s universe, the more bizarre it seemed.) Glitch tilted her head as another thought struck her. “I wonder when he found out she’d decorated his wings with rainbows?”

That, of course, set them both off again, dissipating any remaining tension nicely. Even when Arcee finally noticed the still-sparking cuts on Glitch’s arm, and insisted on calling for a groundbridge right away so that Ratchet could fix them, the two friends shared a good mood that no foe, however deadly, could altogether destroy.

Death Battle Heroes Team Up

I and my friend have been talking about this idea for a while.

Imagine all of the heroes/anti-heroes that have shown up in Death Battle

The candidates for this team are anyone who can be considered a full-on hero (fight bad guys and save the world), or even an anti-hero (same but maybe with darker/more brutal methods/motivations, Red Hood, Venom became bros with Spidey later on IIRC, etc.), and they must have appeared on Death Battle, but I am willing to extend it to characters who have appeared in the animation but aren't the advertised combatants (Trish and Jeanne) or are basically confirmed (Ruby Rose and Maka Albarn + Soul Eater), just to add some variety to their franchise reps b/c DB has a shit load of Marvel and DC and many franchises have like 1-2 reps with many of them not even having their main character yet.

I imagine this crossover taking place in some weird nexus outside of space-time so we don't have to deal with the complete consequences of their settings crossing over as well as to explain how canonically dead characters are here too.

All Pokemon who appear in DB will just be a part of Red's collection. Charizard has the Mega Stone and we've seen that Mewtwo can Mega Evolve under his own power.

Imagine the chaos of having Tatsumaki, the Reds and Blues (Xeno Trunks would have an aneurysm after hearing about their time travel BS), 3 My Little Ponies, A couple of Shonen Dumbass protagonists, and more all working together.

Ben has pretty good samples of badass new DNA to scan for cool new transformations: Goku, Superman, Optimus Prime, and Glacius for example. I wonder if he would get Chozo DNA from scanning Samus?

Imagine all of the technology/science-based heroes all bringing their heads together to make something badass (Give Genos a freaking Upgrade so he isn't reduced to scraps in most of his fights).

Goku and Zoro now have plenty of new martial artists/swordsmen to learn and grow from. Yes, Goku is like 50 billion times Universal now and could wipe out all of them in one move, but he can still hold back against a weaker opponent if he thinks he can learn something new from them. Or at the very least he'd be happy to help other martial artists grow, like Ryu (Street Fighter, not Hayabusa), Po, Guy, and Lee.

We recently talked about the possibility that The Seven from The Boys, specifically Homelander, would try to muscle in and lead this team, saying that they are totally awesome heroes, but with Op people like Goku and Superman or the 4 super wizards (Fate, Zatanna, Strange, and Scarlet Witch) they are gonna be put in their place eventually.

The main problem with some of the options for heroes is that they are a bit too dark/brutal. Like we have Guts as a possible hero, but the world of Berserk is super hardcore compared to a lot of these franchises. It feels like if you have the setting or something from Berserk, someone would basically need to have all sorts of horrible shit happen to them (Killed, Eaten, that third thing that Boomstick mentioned in Guts vs Nightmare, or all 3 at once). The tonal clash really messes with this.

This is just a fun idea my friend and I have been talking about that I thought I'd share. It'd be interesting to see if anyone else has any interesting possible interactions between the heroes.

I'll try to list who I have as options (see after read more)

Starwars: Luke, Obi-Wan, Yoda

Metroid: Samus Aran

Street Fighter/Final Fight: Mike Haggar, Zangief, Chun-Li, Blanka, Ryu, Dan Hibiki, Cammy, Ken Masters

Blazblue: Taokaka, Ragna the Bloodedge

God of War: Kratos

Spawn

Dragon Ball: Vegeta, Son Goku, Majin Buu, Hercule Satan, Android 18, Master Roshi, Beerus, Broly, Trunks (not Xeno version so he'll match and Xenoverse is its own complicated BS). Since Gogeta and Vegito are the same guys they'll just have a pair of Potara so other characters can fuse even though they lack DBZ powers

Sonic the Hedgehog: Shadow, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Silver (similar deal to Trunks)

Harry Potter

Fatal Fury: Mai Shiranui, Terry Bogard

Transformers: Optimus Prime

MLP: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle

Halo/Red vs Blue (It's implied that they share a universe right?): Master Chief, Carolina, Sarge, Simmons, Griff, Donut, Lopez, Church, Tucker, Caboose, Tex (this one is subject to change with how they reference a lot of other media but it would mostly involve ignoring a joke or 3)

DOOM: Doomguy

Mega Man: Mega Man, Zero, Megaman X, Mega Man Trigger/Volnutt, Lan Hikari & MegaMan.EXE, Geo Stellar and Omega-Xis

Final Fantasy VII: Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart

Fox MCloud, Bucky O'hare, Terminator, RoboCop, Godzilla (iteration where he is more of an ally), MechaGodzilla (with or without Akane), Gamera

Gundam: Zechs in the Epyon, Amuro in the RX-78-2

Avatar: Toph, Aang, Zuko, Korra

Guts, Goliath

Metal Gear, Solid Snake, Otacon (remember if they show up in the animation they count), Raiden

Splinter Cell: Sam Fisher, Grimm

RWBY: Yang, Weiss, Blake, you could possibly count Ruby since Ben Singer did say that that matchup WILL happen as it was Monty's Request

Astro Boy

Tai and Agumon, Renamon

Devil May Cry: Dante, Trish, Vergil

Bayonetta, Jeanne

Ratchet & Clank

Jak and Daxter

Tracer

Sora, Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey

Pit, Leon Kennedy, Frank West (the last 2 were almost ignored but Marvel vs Capcom made me rethink it), Jin Kazama, Samurai Jack, Afro Samurai

MAYBE Lucy from Elfen Lied if some of the more paragon heroes manage to help get through to her, but she'd be a challenge

Ben Tennyson, Mitsuru Kirijo, Captain Falcon, Edward Elric, Hiei, Mob

One-Punch Man: Tatsumaki, Genos, Saitama

My Hero Academia: All Might, Shoto Todoroki, Deku

Danny Phantom, Jake Long

Like I said the Seven would try to join and take over but the super powerful characters can put them in their place: Homelander, Black Noir, Queen Maeve, A-Train, The Deep, and Starlight. Butcher might be brought in as well.

Soul Eater: Crona, and Maka + Soul Eater (similar logic to Ruby Rose up in the RWBy section)

Kill la Kill: Ryuko and Senketsu

Mikasa Ackerman, Po, Steven Universe, Star Butterfly, Alucard (the 4 super wizards putting a leash on him, some of the heroes' honorable nature, and DIO + Dracula being evil vampires might allow him to play nice for a time), Tanjiro and Nezuko Kamado, Omni-Man, Excalibur

Bond and Wick are a bit too down to Earth to fit among all this fiction so either they'd be cut or they'd have to be handled very carefully

Spongebob and Asta

That is the total list of heroes that we've considered for this crossover.

Elevate Your Audio Projects with High-Quality Drawing of a Speaker

In the world of professional audio, having precise and detailed drawing of a speaker is essential for crafting high-performance loudspeakers. Whether you are a manufacturer, an engineer, or a DIY enthusiast, having access to accurate speaker drawings can significantly enhance your project's outcome. This article delves into the importance of using professional-grade speaker drawings and how they can benefit your audio endeavors.

The Importance of Speaker Drawings

Creating custom speakers or modifying existing ones often requires detailed drawings that outline the dimensions, components, and assembly instructions. Drawing of a speaker serves as a blueprint that ensures consistency and accuracy in the manufacturing process. From the initial design phase to the final product, these drawings are indispensable tools that help achieve optimal sound quality and structural integrity. Key Components of Speaker Drawings A comprehensive speaker drawing typically includes the following elements: - Dimensions: Precise measurements of the speaker cabinet, driver placement, and port locations. - Materials: Specifications for wood, MDF, or other materials used in construction. - Cutting Diagrams: Detailed instructions for cutting panels and assembling the cabinet. - Electrical Schematics: Wiring diagrams for connecting drivers, crossover networks, and terminals. Benefits of Using Professional Drawings Utilizing professional-grade drawing of a speaker offers several advantages: - Accuracy: Precise measurements reduce the likelihood of errors during fabrication. - Consistency: Standardized drawings ensure that each unit meets the same specifications. - Efficiency: Ready-to-use designs minimize the time spent on prototyping and testing. - Quality Control: Detailed documentation supports quality control throughout the production process.

Utilizing Speaker Drawings for Different Applications

Speaker drawings can be adapted for a variety of applications, from home audio systems to professional installations. Understanding the specific requirements of each application helps in selecting the right design: Fix Installation Models For permanent installations in venues, churches, and conference rooms, drawing of a speaker must account for acoustics and aesthetics. These designs often include mounting points and cable routing considerations. Subwoofers Subwoofer cabinets require robust construction to handle low-frequency vibrations. Speaker drawing for subwoofers focuses on optimizing bass response and minimizing resonance. Line Arrays Line array systems demand precise alignment and uniformity across multiple units. Speaker drawing for line arrays includes detailed instructions for stacking and rigging to ensure seamless sound coverage.

How to Use Speaker Drawings Effectively

To maximize the benefits of speaker drawings, follow these steps: Preparation - Review Specifications: Ensure the drawings align with your project goals and component availability. - Select Materials: Choose high-quality materials that match the drawing's recommendations. Fabrication - Cutting: Use CNC machines or precision saws to cut panels according to the provided dimensions. - Assembly: Follow the step-by-step instructions to assemble the cabinet accurately. Finishing - Sealing: Apply a sealant to prevent moisture ingress and improve durability. - Finishing Touches: Paint or veneer the cabinet to match your aesthetic preferences. Testing - Initial Check: Verify the connections and functionality of the speaker system. - Tuning: Fine-tune the crossover network and equalization settings for optimal performance.

Where to Find Reliable Speaker Drawings

Finding reliable and accurate speaker drawing can be challenging. However, there are trusted sources available. For example, a reputable Chinese PA speaker manufacturer offers a collection of 20 models of professional audio speaker cabinet drawings available here. These drawings are designed by experienced engineers and are compatible with CNC machines, saving you time and effort in the production process.

Conclusion

A well-designed drawing of a speaker is a critical component in creating high-quality audio systems. By utilizing professional-grade drawings, you can streamline your workflow, enhance your product's performance, and achieve consistent results. Whether you are a seasoned professional or a hobbyist, investing in accurate speaker drawings is a step towards excellence in audio engineering. Read the full article
