💪Ryder Steele’s Muscle Gain Instruction Manual. 💪

A surface-level yet comprehensive beginner’s guide to working out/body building/gaining muscle written by a tboy with a degree in human physiology, with tboys in mind. Speed training, toning, and cardio/lung health training will not be explored.

(Part 1) Diet. Talking about food, their molecules and how the body responds.

An aspect of bodybuilding/exercizing that is just as important as the weights and workouts themselves. Generally, the more a human does, the more nutrition they need in every sense.

Protein is needed to survive as a human, 0.8 grams per kilogram of weight MINIMUM. (source) To gain muscle you need to consume more protein than that. 1 gram per pound of body is a good goal.

There are additional ingredients, Amino Acids, you can ingest to give your body more of what it needs to build muscle. The most common is creatine, and it can be found naturally in foods or bought alone. 14mg per pound is a good dose, (source) but you could do as low as you like.

Carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water are other things essential to keep you running, but aren’t the building block of muscle.

For vitamins, minerals, and water be sure to get the daily recommended dose. It’s worth considering a little more than recommend water, potassium, magnesium, and sodium in your diet for adequate muscle usage before and during working out. Also, a bit more calcium in general for muscle movement and the strength your bones must gain to support stronger muscles and weight loads.

For carbohydrates and fats, it’s important to have adequate levels of these. The body uses carbohydrates for energy first and mainly, then uses fats, then proteins. How much? Well it depends on how much you care about the image of your body, and what your goals are.

The Bulk is for people who want to gain muscle and mass a bit quicker. There is clean bulking and dirty bulking. Dirty bulking is eating a lot without much regard to amounts. Clean bulking is to gain muscle mass while keeping your body fat percentage at relatively the same level.

The Cut is for people who want to reduce their body fat percentage. Eating at a slight/moderate deficit to force the body to consume fat cells as energy. High protein is still consumed.

Before working out, you should consume something 30-40 minutes before starting. Preworkout, a caffeinated substance, or complex carbohydrates to give you the energy needed to begin and not crash.

After working out, you should consume a good portion of your daily proteins 30 minutes to four hours later.

(Part 2)Working out. Utilizing and ripping the telomeres of your muscles and forming neural pathways.

To build muscle, you need to utilize the muscles. To get bigger muscles, your body needs to move with more resistance than what it normally does. Weight acts as the resistance.

Warming up is an important first step to working out, as you need to prime your body’s systems and cells. Heart rate is the primary thing to warm up, because using muscles required your heart pump harder and faster. 5-10 minutes of warmup minimum of cardio is best. The intensity of this cardio is your choice. Dancing, fast walking, jogging/running, jump rope, cycling, etc. are good. Stretching is also a good precursor to the warmup as the warmup uses your muscles also. It’s a process, but its important to warm up properly to avoid tightness, cramps, or even things snapping.

The weightlifting a complicated and highly discussed thing. There are hundreds of motions across gym machines, tools, and muscles for you to chose from. Which ones you do depend on what is available, and the muscles you want to work. Write stuff down if you must. Here is an exercise dictionary.

Muscle names are good to know to decide which motions to do. Look at this diagram to learn, and build your own encyclopedia and routine.

Frequency of working out is important. If your body does not use muscles, they deteriorate. You can work certain muscles more frequently than others. Just keep adequate rest. You may see things like push/pull day, arm day. This is the type of motions and muscles focused. Dedicating a workout session/day to one muscle group helps keep track of avoiding overuse. See Rest for more. Once a week at minimum you should work a muscle group to keep it from deteriorating. Here’s an example: Sunday rest. Monday arms&core. Tuesday whole back. Wednesday rest. Thursday whole arms. Friday rest. Saturday whole legs.

Duration of working the muscle during a session/day impacts its growth. A rep is one time going through a motion. Sets is how many times you do a group of reps. 3x15 pushups is I’m doing 15 pushups. Rest. 15 more. Rest. 15 more. Three sets of fifteen. To build endourance, lower weight at higher reps. To build mass and strength, higher weight at lower reps.

Finally, the weight heaviness. You should slightly push your muscles to start, then base your weight patterns off of what is a good amount of strain for you. The more you challenge/strain yourself, the more it will hurt and build muscle mass. Also, the faster you increase the weight your muscles fight against, the higher the risk of injury. However, if you stick to a weight that is not challenging, your muscles will not grow. There must always be some element of challenge your muscles must always be chasing to keep up with. Thats what growing is. For example: I’ve been bicep curling single dumbbells of 10 pounds for months. 12 pounds is a comfortable challenge, and I can do 15 also but not the whole set. So, I may warm up with 1 set of 10lbs. Two sets of 12lbs, then finish with one set of 15 at lower reps. The number of reps per set could be 15,12,10,6. Decreasing reps while increasing weight to prep the body, but not injure too much.

(Part 3) Rest. Your body building new muscle, and preparing to work again.

In between sets of exercise, you need to rest your muscles for enough time for them to become reloaded with their energy, ATP. ~1 minute for heavily lifting. Ensure you’re breathing well also to give your blood oxygen. Deeper, healthy breaths during rest is good.

After training it’s recommended to give a muscle group ~48 hours of rest to rebuild the fibers. Rest means not training it, but of course if you need to use them, use them. Additionally, you can still be active and rest, doing a thing called active rest. Doing nothing at all, which has its benefits, is called passive rest.

Sleep is your body’s way of storing information and taking out the cerebral trash. During sleep your body produces growth hormone, your brain works to retain all of the information you and your body learned during the day, and generally refreshes itself. Napping can e beneficial also if it doesn't interfere with getting the minimum 8-10 hours depending on your age group.

Knock the chip off potato’s reputation

Valerie M. from Monterey, Calif., sent me an article that stated how Americans are eating fewer potatoes than ever before.

She writes:

“I read this about potatoes, and it made me sad. I love potatoes and wish people understood they are not bad. I hope the farmers don’t pull back on growing them.”

Don’t despair, Valerie.

Potatoes are still considered America’s No. 1 vegetable.

Unfortunately, we don’t always consume potatoes in their most nutritious form.

About 22% of the potatoes grown in the U.S. are made into chips.

And we Americans eat more chips — an average of 4 pounds per person per year — than any other country, reports the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service.

The most healthful way to eat potatoes is right out of the ground … washed, of course.

Like most foods, the less you change a spud from its original self, the more dense its nutrients.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a medium-sized (5.3-ounce) potato in its own skin provides 110 calories, mostly in the form of complex carbs (starch).

This humble vegetable contains more potassium than a banana, 30% of our daily vitamin C needs and as much fiber as a slice of whole wheat bread.

And if we don’t fry it or smother it in butter and sour cream, our spud is free of fat and cholesterol with just a scant amount of sodium.

Potatoes have been studied for their contribution to sports nutrition.

They are a good source of carbohydrates — the primary fuel for muscles, nerves and brains.

And although you’d have to eat a lot of potatoes to get all the protein you need in a day, a 2022 study reported in the journal of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise that a dose of protein concentrated from potatoes had a similar effect on stimulating muscle growth as milk protein.

Pretty cool.

Here are a few other fun facts about potatoes from Potatoes USA, which represents America’s potato growers.

Contrary to common thought, all the nutrients in a potato do not reside just in the skin.

More than half the nutrients in spuds are found in the flesh.

Don’t toss the skin however.

It’s a good source of dietary fiber.

And no need for people with diabetes to totally avoid potatoes, say the experts at the American Diabetes Association.

Just watch your portion sizes.

A medium potato contains about the same amount of carbs as 2/3 cup of cooked pasta.

Like other food crops, potato production fluctuates with weather conditions as well as other factors.

And indeed, fewer spuds were harvested over these past couple of years.

I don’t think our farmers in Idaho and elsewhere will give up on this crop anytime soon though.

Potatoes after all, are the third most consumed crop in the world.

Whereas people who get these all the time, whose bladders are delicate and inflamed will feel the symptoms when bacteria are still at fairly low levels of growth in their bladder, but this level does not hit the threshold for the traditional testing cutoff.” Which traditional testing can miss an infection about 50% of the time. Originated in the 1950s and has not changed.

She added: “Prostates get so much attention and men with prostatitis quickly get given six weeks of antibiotics even if infection is suspected and not yet proven.”

“Even when men have a UTI the guidelines advise seven days of antibiotics, as opposed to the three days given to women. I think the degree of dismissal of women is appalling. And it doesn’t just happen in UTI, it happens in other areas of medicine as well.”

That’s where a lot of the suffering is generated. These poor women have got symptoms, they’re submitted to these incompetent tests, then told they cannot have an infection because the test is negative.

Quick Tip: In order for AZO Urinary Tract Defense™ to work to its full potential, you’d need acidic urine. For that, take Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) with the drug.

An alternative to AZO Urinary Tract Defense™ in Canada, Europe, or Australia is Hiprex, which works similarly.

Methenamine (the main active ingredient) will work by slowing down the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the urinary tract.

When exposed to acidic urine, Methenamine turns into formaldehyde to kill the bacteria, but it’s not strong enough to eliminate an infection completely. 

Cystex Urinary Pain Relief Tablets is yet another product that contains Methenamine, and therefore works in the same way as AZO Urinary Tract Defense™.

The dose of Methenamine in both products is identical (162 mg) and both contain the same amount of Sodium salicylate (which is a sodium salt of salicylic acid).

Cystex Urinary Pain Relief Tablets will not change the color of the urine as some other OTC medications do.

hen the infection starts, your bladder responds by becoming inflamed, and that’s why you experience pain and increased the urgency to urinate.

Ibuprofen has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties and, it’s argued, could help you cope with the symptoms while your body fights the infection.

A couple of studies (here and here) show improved results and shorter symptoms when a patient used Ibuprofen to treat uncomplicated UTIs. Patients that had success with this treatment took 400 mg, three times a day for three days.

_______________

1. The UTI prevention dose is 1500-2000 mg (or one-half teaspoon) once or twice a day.

2. You can take this “preventive” dose safely for as long as you want. The bacteria won’t develop resistance to D-Mannose.

BulkSupplements Pure D-Mannose Powder / Pure Encapsulations – d-Mannose Powder /

In order for Azo Urinary Tract Defense to work better, you’d need acidic urine. For that take Ascorbic Acid together with the drug. Lemons, on contrary, would alkalize your urine. When taking products with Methenamine, avoid drinking water with lemon.

_______________________________

If Enterococcus is isolated, amoxicillin (500 mg orally every eight hours or 875 mg twice daily) is the agent of choice if the organism is susceptible

Use of nitrofurantoin, fosfomycin, and pivmecillinam should generally be avoided in the setting of acute complicated UTI because they do not achieve adequate tissue levels outside the bladder

Prophylaxis for recurrent UTI: 2L daily fluid, voiding frequency, hygiene, avoid spermicide & constipation

coli UTIs are resistant to ciprofloxacin

UTIs account for 9 percent of all antibiotics prescribed every year in the United States,

______________

Empty and full bladder about 6x per day

Prophylactic Dose

To help prevent recurrence, ingest two grams of pure D-Mannose with a glass of water once a day. This Randomized Clinical Trial has demonstrated a 2 gram daily dose of pure D-Mannose prevented recurrence of acute cystitis in 85.4% of women with a history of recurrent UTI, perfoming 4 times better than the prescribed antibiotic.

_______________

Urethral infections may take longer to subside because D-Mannose rapidly passes through the urethra when you urinate, rather than lingering as it does in the bladder. To increase effectiveness, you might want to try a method recommended by Doctors when a mid-stream urine sample is required: when your bladder is almost empty and there's little pressure remaining behind the flow, with a clean palm, press up against the urethra using just enough pressure to moderate the flow, until your bladder is completely emptied. You can repeat this each time you urinate with D-Mannose in your system.

This method provides the D-Mannose with a little extra time to detach the bacteria from your urethral wall. It can take anywhere from one to seven days to clear urethral symptoms.

Caring for Your Kidneys: Daily Habits for Optimal Health

Your kidneys are vital organs that play a crucial role in maintaining your overall health. They filter waste and excess fluids from your blood, regulate blood pressure, and balance electrolytes. Keeping your kidneys healthy is essential for your well-being. Here are some daily habits to help you maintain optimal kidney health.

1. Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water is one of the best ways to support your kidneys. Adequate hydration helps your kidneys remove toxins from your body through urine. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day, but adjust based on your activity level and climate. Clear or light-colored urine is a good sign of proper hydration.

2. Eat a Balanced Diet

A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins supports kidney health. Limit your intake of salt, as high sodium levels can increase blood pressure and strain your kidneys. Avoid processed foods, which often contain high levels of sodium and unhealthy fats.

3. Monitor Your Blood Pressure

High blood pressure can damage your kidneys over time. Regularly check your blood pressure and keep it under control with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and, if necessary, medication prescribed by your doctor.

4. Exercise Regularly

Regular physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight and lowers blood pressure. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Activities like walking, swimming, and cycling are excellent choices.

5. Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol

Smoking can reduce blood flow to your kidneys and impair their function. It also increases the risk of kidney cancer. Limiting alcohol consumption is also important, as excessive drinking can cause high blood pressure and liver damage, which in turn affects the kidneys.

6. Manage Blood Sugar Levels

If you have diabetes, controlling your blood sugar levels is crucial to prevent kidney damage. Follow your doctor’s recommendations for diet, medication, and monitoring your blood glucose levels.

7. Be Cautious with Medications

Some over-the-counter medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can cause kidney damage if taken frequently or in high doses. Always follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor before starting any new medication.

8. Get Regular Check-Ups

Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider can help detect kidney problems early. Routine blood and urine tests can monitor kidney function and identify issues before they become serious.

9. Limit Protein Intake

While protein is essential for your body, consuming too much can put extra strain on your kidneys. If you have kidney disease, your doctor may recommend limiting your protein intake to prevent further damage.

10. Reduce Stress

Chronic stress can negatively impact your blood pressure and overall health, including your kidneys. Practice stress-reducing activities such as yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or hobbies you enjoy.

Conclusion :

Taking care of your kidneys is vital for your overall health and well-being. By incorporating these daily habits into your lifestyle, you can help ensure your kidneys function optimally for years to come. Remember, small changes can make a big difference, so start today and give your kidneys the care they deserve.

The Power of Vitamin C: Benefits and Supplements for Optimal Health

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a vital nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health and well-being. This water-soluble vitamin is renowned for its numerous health benefits, including its ability to boost the immune system, promote collagen production, and act as a potent antioxidant. In this article, we will explore the importance of vitamin C for health and delve into the use of vitamin C supplements to ensure you're getting an adequate daily dose.

The Role of Vitamin C in Health

Immune System Support One of the most well-known benefits of vitamin C is its role in strengthening the immune system. This vitamin enhances the production and function of white blood cells, which are vital in fighting off infections and illnesses. Regular intake of vitamin C can reduce the duration and severity of colds and other common infections.

Antioxidant Properties Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can lead to oxidative stress, inflammation, and various chronic diseases. Vitamin C neutralizes these harmful molecules, reducing the risk of conditions like heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.

Collagen Production Collagen is a protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of skin, hair, nails, and connective tissues. Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, making it a key component in maintaining skin elasticity, wound healing, and overall skin health.

Heart Health Studies have shown that vitamin C may have a positive impact on heart health. It can help lower blood pressure, reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, and improve blood vessel function. These factors contribute to a reduced risk of heart disease.

Enhanced Iron Absorption Vitamin C enhances the absorption of non-heme iron (the type of iron found in plant-based foods) from the digestive tract. This is particularly important for vegetarians and vegans who rely on plant sources for their iron intake.

Vitamin C Supplements

While it's ideal to obtain your daily dose of vitamin C through a well-balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, supplements can be beneficial for those who may have difficulty meeting their vitamin C needs through food alone. Here are some considerations when using vitamin C supplements:

Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): The RDA for vitamin C varies depending on age, gender, and life stage. As a general guideline, adult men should aim for around 90 milligrams (mg) per day, while adult women should target 75 mg per day. Pregnant and breastfeeding women may need more.

Types of Supplements: Vitamin C supplements come in various forms, including ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate, and sodium ascorbate. Choose a form that suits your preferences and dietary restrictions.

Dosage: It's important not to exceed the recommended daily intake of vitamin C, as excessive intake can lead to digestive upset or kidney stones. If you're unsure about the appropriate dosage, consult with a healthcare professional.

Timing: You can take vitamin C supplements with or without food. However, some people may experience digestive discomfort when taking high doses on an empty stomach, so it's often recommended to take them with meals.

Quality Matters: When selecting a vitamin C supplement, choose a reputable brand known for quality and purity. Look for supplements that have been third-party tested for quality and safety.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that offers a wide range of health benefits, from immune system support to collagen production and heart health. While it's important to obtain vitamin C from a varied diet filled with fruits and vegetables, supplements can be a valuable addition for those with specific dietary needs or concerns. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen to ensure it's appropriate for your individual health requirements. With the right balance of diet and supplements, you can harness the power of vitamin C to enhance your overall well-being and vitality.

One of the most common problems is that it's hard to find bites that meet your daily nutrition goals. Active Keto Gummies are a tasty and helpful way to help you stay on track with your low-carb lifestyle.

What Are Active Keto UK Gummy Bears?

Active Keto UK Gummies are a type of supplement that is made for people who are on a low-carb or ketogenic diet. They are made with healthy ingredients and are meant to help your diet while also satisfying your sweet tooth. Electrolytes, collagen, and MCT oil are all important for good health and are often found in these chewy sweets.

===>> Visit The Official Site To Get Your Order Now <<===

What happens when you eat Active Keto Gummies UK?

Active Keto Gummies work by giving the body artificial ketones, which are ketones that are not made by the body but come from outside sources. When the body goes into ketosis, it stops getting most of its energy from glucose and starts getting it from ketones instead. By giving the body extra ketones from the outside, Active Keto Gummies can help the body get into ketosis faster and keep it going for longer. This can help people on a ketogenic diet lose more weight, think more clearly, and get other health benefits.

Here are some of the most common ingredients:

MCT Oil: Medium-chain fatty substances (MCTs) are a solid type of fat that the body can use right away to make energy. MCT oil is often thought of as a KETO supplement that can help boost energy and keep ketosis going.

Collagen: A protein called collagen is important for healthy skin, hair, and joints. It's also a common ingredient in KETO products because it's low in carbs and can help improve health in general.

minerals: If you are on a low-carb or ketogenic diet, it is important to replace minerals that you may lose through increased urination. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are often thought of as KETO additions because they can help prevent dehydration and muscle cramps.

Nutrients and minerals: Active Keto Gummies UK may also have important nutrients and minerals like vitamin D, vitamin B12, and zinc.

Fiber: Some Active Keto UK may also have fiber that dissolves, like inulin, to help keep your stomach healthy and make you feel fuller faster.

Regular sugars: Some KETO supplements, like stevia or erythritol, use regular sugars like stevia or erythritol to give chewy treats a sweet taste without adding sugar or carbs.

It's always a good idea to check the label and list of ingredients of any KETO supplement to make sure it fits your nutritional needs and preferences.

Active Keto UK Gummies Have These Pros:

One of the best things about Active Keto UK is that they are easy to take when you are in a hurry. You can keep a pack in your purse, backpack, or travel bag and eat one whenever you want a quick snack or a boost of energy.

Low in carbs: Active Keto Gummies are usually very low in carbs, which makes them a great choice for people on a ketogenic or low-carb diet. They usually have about a gram of net carbs per dose, which means that they won't count against your daily carb limit.

Active Keto Gummies are often full of vitamins and minerals that can help your overall health. For example, they might have fluids like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, which are important for staying hydrated and getting the most out of your muscles. They may also have collagen, which can help improve the health of your skin, hair, and joints.

During PMS, you can feel irritated, bloated, or tired. Also, you may experience physical changes such as pain, bloating, and food cravings.

Even tiny changes in your diet can reduce your PMS symptoms and thus also helps to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Here is the list of things you can eat during your PMS time:

Complex carbohydrates are essential nutrients that gradually reach your bloodstream, reducing cravings and balancing your mood. So include the complex carbohydrates in your food. Complex carbs are found in various meals, such as whole grains, beans, and barley. Additionally, excellent sources are vegetables and fruits. 

Essential vitamins and minerals

The symptoms of a magnesium shortage may include PMS. Taking the food on time is essential, which may reduce food cravings. You should consume calcium and vitamin, which are frequently found together, to reduce the signs of PMS. Even though these nutrients are crucial for general health and for women, which reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression that are mainly related to the menstrual cycle. Try including foods like yogurt, cheese, and milk with decreased fat. Vitamin D and calcium may also reduce your risk of developing some diseases and osteoporosis.

Reduce salt

Like sugar, salt is concealed in many foods, so cooking your own food is preferable to consuming fast food or processed food. Try canned broth, pizza, deli meat, and high-sodium bread. Patients who experience bloating, breast tenderness, or swollen hands are especially advised to eat less sodium.

Get a healthy dose of iron

Consuming enough iron before and during your period is crucial because you lose a lot of the mineral while facing the menstrual cycle. Your chance of developing anemia can be lowered by consuming enough iron-rich foods. Light color mussels and lean meats like beef fillets and lamb steaks are excellent options. Your doctor may recommend substitutes, such as iron supplements if you are vegetarian or vegan. Even consuming iron pills also helps in improving the blood in your body. 

Drink more water

Fluid loss can be substantial, particularly for women who experience heavy periods, indicating uterine fibroids. Additionally, your body's amount of hydration is influenced by estrogen and progesterone. To stay hydrated, consume a few more glasses of water each day and thus also keep yourself active.

Limit alcohol and caffeine

So instead of taking alcohol and coffee, go for any healthy drink. That will help to reduce your PMS symptoms. Even you can buy those health drinks online.

Parting words

Along with these dietary adjustments, consider when and how you eat. Try six small meals per day instead of three large ones. Your symptoms may improve due to keeping your blood sugar constant throughout the day.

#WATER JOE CAFFEINATED WATER FREE#

Though it’s commonly recommended that you consume at least 8 cups (64 ounces or 1.9 liters) of water per day, there is no universal recommendation regarding how much water you should consume per day. Therefore, caffeinated waters can be consumed safely, assuming your total daily caffeine intake does not exceed 400 mg. Research suggests that healthy adults can safely consume moderate amounts of caffeine. In fact, one study showed that decaffeinated coffee exerted health benefits similar to those of caffeinated varieties ( 22, 23). However, these effects may be related to other beneficial compounds - such as antioxidants - in coffee rather than caffeine. What’s more, observational studies have linked coffee intake to a reduced risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers ( 19, 20, 21). There are several potential health benefits of consuming caffeine in appropriate amounts.įor example, the beneficial effects of caffeine on exercise performance, mental function, and pain relief are well documented ( 15, 16, 17, 18). If you’re an otherwise healthy adult, caffeinated waters are likely safe and can promote hydration - as long as you don’t exceed 400 mg of caffeine per day from all sources, including coffee, tea, soft drinks, energy drinks, and dietary supplements. People with severe anxiety, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or conditions affecting the liver or kidneys may also want to limit their caffeine intake ( 1). Studies suggest that healthy adults can safely consume doses of up to 400 mg per day ( 11, 12, 13).įor pregnant women, no more than 200 mg of caffeine per day is recommended to avoid adverse effects, with some studies suggesting not to exceed 300 mg per day ( 13, 14). However, these effects are only observed when the compound is consumed in high doses or by non-habitual consumers ( 8, 9, 10). These products are available in flavored and unflavored varieties and can contain up to 125 mg of caffeine per bottle or can.Ĭaffeine has long been the subject of controversy, as it may stimulate a modest increase in blood pressure, promote dehydration, and cause various side effects, including restlessness, nervousness, and irritability ( 1, 8, 9). summaryĬaffeinated water is water that has been fortified with caffeine. If you regularly drink specialty coffee drinks, sweetened teas, and sugar-containing energy and soft drinks, caffeinated waters can be a good alternative to help reduce your intake of added sugars and extra calories while still getting your energy fix. Soft drink: 34 mg per 1 can (12 ounces or 355 ml).Green tea: 29 mg per 1 cup (8 ounces or 240 ml).Standard energy drink: 72 mg per 1 cup (8 ounces or 240 ml).Coffee: 96 mg per 1 cup (8 ounces or 240 ml).Plus, they’re sold in cans or bottles that range in size from 12–16.9 ounces (355–500 ml).įor reference, here is a list of popular caffeine-containing beverages and their caffeine content ( 4, 5, 6, 7): Thus, if you’re avoiding these ingredients, make sure to read the label.Ĭaffeinated water products range in caffeine content, containing 34–125 mg. That said, some products contain preservatives like potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate.

Most versions are colorless and free of artificial ingredients, sugar, and calories. It’s also produced synthetically from urea and chloroacetic acid, both of which have the same stimulating effects on your body ( 2, 3).Ĭaffeinated water products may contain synthetic or natural caffeine and are available with or without flavors. It’s found naturally in a variety of plants, including coffee beans, tea leaves, cocoa beans, kola nuts, yerba mate leaves, and guarana berries. Water doesn’t naturally contain caffeine, so manufacturers add it.Ĭaffeine is a compound that stimulates your body’s central nervous system by increasing brain activity, thereby reducing fatigue and increasing concentration and alertness ( 1). As the name implies, caffeinated water is water that contains caffeine.

Original Sin Story: Re_Crime

[AFTERWORD]

So this is mainly mothy talking about the original book so I guess this means I get to go through my process. More or less just my patch notes from this build of Original Sin Story: Crime.

Part 1

First, I made Maria a little older when she was caught in a storm. I wanted to distance Levia from lightning and make Maria a more Miku-ish age rather than a typical Rin age. 

Basically, I’m increasing Levia’s association with wind instead of lightning.

Next was Miroku’s name. I don’t know, it’s an alright name but it feels weird for a surname from later EC being a first name of a not-Jakokuese character here. I first renamed him Nemanja, but then found a Slavic G- name I liked, Gavriil. It’s an equivalent to “Gabriel” which is the name of an archangel.

I liked the first few chapters so not too much has changed. It got exponentially more and more divided from the source material as the book quality went down.

I haven’t changed too much of the worldbuilding or politics cause that is not my strong point, lol. It’s serviceable so I let it be.

I added a description of curled platinum blond hair for Irta Li because I think he should look like Alucard.

Changed the “gear” system of time to “period” since that term is an actual expression of time and is not used in-universe/in the book for this purpose.

Changed Adam and Gammon’s reactions to being late. I just feel maybe Adam shouldn’t be so smug and Gammon such an ass.

I didn’t change anything about Vaju, but his description makes me think of the Capitol elite from The Hunger Games.

Part 2

Didn’t feel like settling on “Mogura” or “Mole People” for those people who dig up Second Period relics, so I just titled them Excavators.

Kept the magic car cause it’s pretty dope and it made my friend go feral cause she predicted it.

Genderbent Raiou into Raijoou because I always imagined the Zvezdas as matriarchal and instead of switching it so Raiou was the late parent, I just said screw it, Eve gets two moms.

I like the idea of Horus Solnste being his own character but there’s really no way to make it work without even more rewrites so he’s still Seth here.

Raijoou’s wife still claims to have found Eve in a river. This is an in-story lie and a meta misdirection.

Added that Adam and Eve have a year to two year difference in age, but they’re both around 20.

I found the whale thing kind of dumb so I just made Catherine a “white blur under the waves” (i.e. a dead sunken body). I get it was a Jonah’s whale reference but I don’t think she needs to literally be a whale for her to fulfill that reference, like how Seth is never a literal snake.

Changed the mention of “THE White Army” to “A White Army”. Raisa mentions a test of her “Second Regiment”. I changed her from a Salem inheritor to a Vlad inheritor (who uses fire magic). This “Second Regiment” is an undead army that are all white, like the Netsuma humans of her First Regiment. Though the zombies are resistant to regular fighting, lightning gets them down quite easily.

I have to say, I wasn’t really chill with Meta being a Gilles inheritor when the info came out but the Red Devotees are so terrifying I couldn’t change it.

Salem inheritor fire is not fire magic. The Netsuma are not all Vlad inheritors like Raisa, but they are all skilled in the fire arts, that is, fire spells and weapons. The arts don’t cover blue flames, as only Salem inheritors produce that.

I made Eve a Held sect member from the start, for more conflict between her and Zellana as Zellana proceeds to be an asshole about Held. Since Nemu isn’t too close to the forest, Eve hasn’t seen Held for herself, so she tries not to cause so much of a fuss, aware she’s in a Levia sect majority place.

Part 3

Adam doesn’t have a direct memory of any river. He was just already out in the open as a very young child as far as he could remember.

Adam is still caught up in a storm like the original tsunami and is saved by Catherine.

Made Horus/Seth as less of a dick than he is, by him being unable to bring Adam to Maria (or reveal Adam as Maria’s son) since Maria’s visitors really are restricted and enforced.

It’s unclear if Horus really did update Maria on Adam’s condition as he claims, decide depending on how you want to see him.

Made Gammon and Adam’s relationship just a bit more pining-y, so when Gammon is drunk he just leans on Adam instead of the counter.

Changed the fucking STUPID Levia inheritor bullshit with Venom. Venom is now connected to Gilles Inheritors. Kept the dead body experimentation part so it’s uncomfortably close to the truth.

Made Adam a little less willing to commit homicide.

MADE ADAM KEEP HIS STUPID, GROSS PLAN ON THE BACKBURNER. HE DOESN’T GO THROUGH WITH IT.

Adam circumvents Seth for the recipe for Venom. This is very important.

Horus/Seth has told Adam about the river children, not telling Adam he is one of those. Adam thus assumes he must be one of them. This is further misdirection.

Raijoou is still a founding member of Apocalypse.

Seth isn’t around so much while Adam and Eve hang out, so as far as Adam is aware, Seth doesn’t know he’s using Venom. This is important as well.

Gammon flirts with Adam but slyly takes it back before he notices.

Adam is already paranoid that he’s given Eve too much Venom (this is unchanged from the source but still important for the payoff)

Scene with Catherine is unchanged, because I love her and this scene.

When Eve has the stillbirth, Seth implies something on Adam’s part is what caused it. The pieces all come together: Seth may have created Venom, but Adam went behind his back to get Venom, used it while trying to keep Seth from knowing about it, thus making this all Adam’s fault. Seth didn’t even convince him to use it, either.

Part 4

Seth gets a black eyes and is being creepy when pistol-whipped. Also his glasses were sent flying off his face.

Finally, Seth clears the meticulous shit I set up, lmao.

After Maria was rendered sterile and her twins were gotten rid of, she still wanted a child and enlisted Seth to make it happen.

The twins aren’t Adam and Eve. Seth kept the boy in cryostasis in Lunaca Labora for his destruction powers, and gave the girl to the Lighwatch Temple so he could keep a close eye on her. These are Amostia and Elluka, respectively.

Adam is essentially a tube-grown human. He’s not a ghoul child because he was made with two sets of DNA, Maria’s and a foreign man to obscure Adam’s phenotype.

Lunaca Labora is a large underground complex, with secret entrances spanning to and from many important capital buildings.

Thus, when Apocalypse bombed one of these buildings, this caused a collapse in the section of Lunaca Labora below it, the chaos in which Adam disappeared.

It was incidents like this that made Raijoou leave Apocalypse and take a wife in the quiet village of Nemu once again.

Horus had met both Raijoou and her wife, Inanna while searching Evillious.

I named her wife Inanna because I wanted a name that resembled “inazumi” to fit Raijoou’s lightning theme, in addition to Inanna meaning “lady” and “heaven/sky”, and being a Sumerian goddess equated to Ishtar.

Without Raijoou’s input, Inanna enlisted Horus to make them a child, she she couldn’t have any, and of course not with Raijoou.

Eve is fashioned the same way as Adam- made with two sets of DNA donated by Inanna and Raijoou.

She was a backburner project so she was finished about a year after both Adam and Meta. Seth had also made Eve a HER carrier.

Since Raijoou is a Held inheritor, Eve ended up as one, too. Noticing this early in her development, it got Seth interested in making ghoul children with inheritor abilities.

Seth is still a shitty father, but I made it less..... cartoonishly horrible. Not better, just less awful. Seth is already a twisted guy, so he tried raising Adam the way he himself was raised, the only way he could think of: purely for their intelligence. Seth had gifted child syndrome, I’m calling it.

Seth tried making Gilles inheritor ghoul children specifically because they were hard to make. If he could get them correctly, he could make any kind of inheritor.

When he failed, he melted down their compositions since they were now useless. This is where Venom really comes from.

His first success was Meta, which opened the door for more inheritors.

Seth would have preferred Cain and Abel be born alive, as he swapped the God Seed for Seeds of Malice when they were first conceived. (Notice how Seth just always has it with him and is the first to brandish it, even in OSS: Crime?) Eve being a HER carrier would have increased Cain and Abel’s chances of being born with HERS.

They did indeed die because Eve had too much Venom. Not because of some really gross lazy ass-pull of a plot twist. That’d be crazy, right?

Eve was actually immune to Venom because as the Held inheritor test tube human Seth made, her own powers cancelled Venom’s powers out.

But even though the drug did not affect her mind, it was still in her bloodstream.

Normally, that’s not a problem, but Venom’s side effects in a pregnant person include deformities in the developing fetus(es) that can kill in utero (the same general reason Gilles Inheritors were so hard to make)

Eve still went mad after the stillbirth, which is not because of all the Venom in her bloodstream, the trauma activated the self-hypnosis (another Held inheritor power) she uses throughout the series. It’s a self defense tactic to protect her from the death of her children, by making her think they are alive and well.

That hypnosis will last a VERY long time, it’s in constant action like a flexing muscle, though its effects waver. I imagine it’d make her kind of despondent or tired since she’s just constantly using her inheritor powers without even realizing it.

Seth is definitely puppeting all these disasters but Cain and Abel’s deaths are on Adam’s hands.

Part 5

RAISA AND META ARE ACTUALLY FRIENDS, LIKE MOTHY ORIGINALLY SAID.

I mean honestly they’re like casual, informal girlfriends. It’s like they never actually asked the other out but when they spar for fighting practice they pin each other a lot. They just like being near each other. Looking at each other. They drink together a lot.

I made Meta not such a bitch about Raisa, too. Like, Jesus Christ, mothy. Meta is now worried for Raisa because she’s such a hellbeast in battle, not cause she hates her for [404 REASON NOT FOUND].

Meta didn’t really have any impression of Raisa when Pale suggested they recruit her, mainly agreeing because it beefed up their forces, coming to know her because they had since lived together with the rest of Apocalypse.

Meta finds Raisa’s scar (particularly around her mouth) distracting because they aren’t covered up behind a mask like they usually are.

Raisa literally climbs onto Meta’s bed and probably over Meta so they can be face to face.

Meta’s almost not even listening, cause Raisa’s hair is like a glowing white next to her red face. Meta, please stop thinking about how pretty your girlfriend is and listen.

Instead of completely pointless amnesia, Meta simply wishes to not dwell on her past. It’s more of a conscious effort to repress that time of her life than actual locked-away memories.

To nonamnesiac Meta, her life really only meant something once she was around 20.

HEY, INSTEAD OF CHILD META BEING ASSAULTED, LET ME PROPOSE: 

Much like Adam, Meta had nothing to do but wander around the country, though she more often broke into homes and stole than he did.

Her Gilles inheritor charms allowed her to weasel her way out of trouble, but she always thought people went easy on her because she was a homeless child.

Her powers/the genuine pity of onlookers sometimes allowed her to SCP-1076 her way into a home, but she always felt out of place and would usually end up running away again.

Meta was caught up in an attack by Apocalypse but as the action was winding down, Pale found her and recruited her, her murdering a hostage as a sort of initiation.

The Royal Capital Army’s armor can’t be breached by Raisa’s fire. This is important later on.

Meta is done zoning out so she hugs Raisa to make her stop shouting.

Some very subtle rewording that implies Meta wasn’t dressed before Raisa left the room. Not necessarily naked, but maybe in whatever nightclothes she had. I imagine just lingerie though.

Milky is dressed as she usually is, on top of the covers while Pale is under them.

Made Meta less so goddamn spiteful about Milky??

Basically Meta and Pale kind of joke with each other about their other partners, Raisa and Milky respectively. Apocalypse is a big ol’ polycule, minus Yegor. Cause he’s a creep.

Kept the cute stuff Meta thinks about Pale... who’d have thought their relationship would be the least garbage out of the original book?

Changed a little bit about Pale’s music box tinkering. He’s not making something, he’s taking it apart. Though he plans to put it back together to get better at making things.

Meta is still thinking about Raisa so she accidentally brings her up when they’re discussing the mole in the group.

Meta genuinely doesn’t think Raisa is the mole, and defends her when Pale asks if she’s implying something.

The woman Meta comes across is still? Eve? I have no goddamn idea why it can’t be her in the original so, you’re welcome mothy, I fixed it.

The fog and fighting has knocked out Adam, whom Eve is cradling. The fog is a byproduct of Venom so it doesn’t affect Meta nor Eve.

Eve is so stressed, so hypnosis is going into overdrive to the point she can’t even get her children’s names right. or she could just be so upset that she’s slurring her words. 

Raisa has somehow come into intel that says Yegor is the mole and is conspiring to capture Meta, so she abandoned her trip north to warn or help Meta.

Raisa is not immune to Venom, but the mask she uses to cover her scars is helping filter some of it out so she’s still lucid enough to yell to Meta.

The fog has overtaken most of the scene, Eve has escaped with Adam, and Capital Army forces are closing in on Meta.

Raisa tackles Meta to the ground in an effort to cover her and unleashes an explosion (that ends up knocking the both of them out) in an effort to keep them away.

Elluka is older on account of being Maria’s twin daughter. She’s still quite youthful anyways.

Removed the second period legacy room mumbo jumbo. It can just be a Third Period anti-magic room.

Yegor Asayev looks like V from V For Vendetta, because I said so.

Instead of dying like a punk and offscreen no less, Raisa was killed immediately after her stunt to protect Meta. Remember, her fire can’t penetrate the army’s armor. She was aware of this but it was all she could think to do, or to do at all.

Yegor doesn’t know how Raisa caught wind of his betrayal and wonders if he has a mole of his own. I don’t either. It’s for intrigue!!

Made Meta more... emotional. Cause she kind of seemed not to care too much. Like obviously she was angry and defeated but since in this version, someone she loved, Raisa, died protecting her, all in vain, she’s even more griefstricken.

Meta and Elluka are friends by the barest means. Meta tried scaring her to get what she wanted, but Meta ends up giving her advice. This is how it was in the original but I still want to highlight it.

Instead of a pendant, Seth’s plan and map is kept in a glass bottle on Meta’s person.

Seth remains a little shit in this scene because he’s honestly the best part of the original book.

Elluka still cries for Meta, because of their rapport. God, I just think it’s so sweet.

Kept the baby Pale thing. I mean in the original it was probably added to make the age gap between Elluka and Kiril less YIKES, but I wasn’t quite sure how to take it out. Even if Elluka is older in this continuity, I think Pale being de-aged doesn’t hurt.

Hansel and Gretel are preemies!

Clearly something is up with Gammon, so I added he’s being tying his hair differently and smiling more often.

Since it was traveling into Maria’s maze that marked this changed, I changed his hair tie from high to low to match Irina’s low braid to suggest Maria might be in there.

I think it’s weird if Gammon himself was just kind of removed from the story by another character in his body so I made it ambiguous as to whether he’s still in there or not.

Looking at the babies forces Meta to think about her own childhood.

Meta can’t drain the tanks without letting the babies fall, so she dives inside, disconnects them from their support tubes and breaks them from the inside.

Yes, I’m aware the strength needed to break the glass would have to be fucking IMMENSE since it can handle the pressure from containing a building’s worth of heavy fluid, but shut up, Meta is buff in this continuity. Besides, the glass probably isn’t made to withstand sharp, repeated points of stress from the inside as opposed to the designed entire surface area pressure. I’m sure someone who’s into physics is reading this and pulling their hair out and I’m sorry. Not sorry enough to fix it. sdfghj

I want the incident that allowed Adam to escape to be the same one Meta escaped in, but I have NO idea if I can make that work in the timeline. I sure which there was a goddamn calendar system for this, mothy.

I have no idea what the hell mothy is talking about with Levia’s blessing, but anyways I kept it vague about how the babies are immune to the Venom fog. The wording is more in line with what we hear during Lust Arc when IR is talking about Mikulia’s immunity to Sateriasis’ lust spell.

Part 6

Kept the fourth wall breaking with Eve. That shit’s too great.

Definitely made the pre-demonic Venom Sword Raisa’s sword that they confiscated.

Eve picks up her Held worshiping habits again. They technically never went away but it was hard to do deep in Levianta.

Part 7

Adam doesn’t recognize Meta. To be honest, I can’t tell if he DOES recognize her in the original or not. But for sure here, he doesn’t point her out as Meta.

Adam is kind of silently panicking, so he just says sorry for every movement of the shovel he makes to bury her.

The time placements are all over the place in this chapter, just ignore it.

Eve’s self-hypnosis is still in full effect when they escape deep into Elphegort.

I sort of added a whole scene? More like I took stuff from other scenes and added enough to make it its own scene.

Her hypnosis was in complete swing when she came in the door, but Adam and the reality of Meta’s death finally broke it. Her denial from now on is normal self-denial, not the result of an inheritor ability defense mechanism.

Even though Eve has, on some level, acknowledged her wrongdoing and the reality of things, she still finds comfort in the babies.

I know earlier I made Adam less willing to commit homicide but I find his even just contemplating infanticide darkly humorous. Like, what the fuck, Adam? Of course he doesn’t follow through on it, though.

Kept Gretel being weirdly conscious of everything while Hansel is just a normal baby. I love the idea of Gretel being a creepy horror movie baby who knows more than she should and Hansel is just here vibing.

Remember that Adam thinks she’s done all this because he drugged her with Venom. He is indeed responsible for killing her unborn children with Venom, but he isn’t aware Venom hasn’t affected her mentally.

So Eve’s Original Sin is killing Meta and taking her babies, and Adam’s Original Sin is “ruining Eve” and thus killing her children.

Part 8

Added how Seth technically had Maria’s permission to do what he did, but he still took advantage of that, so even revealing that wouldn’t make him look good. It’s not officially reported cause it could lend him some credence.

Kept his edgy little manifesto because it makes me laugh.

Didn’t take out the Pale/Kiril thing because honestly that was an adequate turn of events.

Glossary

Levianta was founded by a cabal of mages who discovered Second Period artifacts. Magic is powerful, but requires time and preparation to use—however, the old technology streamlined the usage of magic, making it easier and more useful for technological advance. The woman who would become the first queen was named Alice Merry-Go-Round, and she is the one who realized this.

She hired people to dig up the technology in the temple, but was faced with resistance from the local populace, who revered Levia-Behemo using that temple. Alice put a wall around it in response, and this became the “first wall”. More walls were built and eventually this became a fortress.

Her followers named it Alicegrad, and Alice herself founded Levianta with herself as the queen. Still, they faced resistance from the natives. To appease them, Alice declared Levia-Behemo as the country’s god, and made a council of 12 people. Six of them were mages who served under her, and six were comprised of the local natives. Levianta grew prosperous. 

When the first queen died, her daughter inherited her position and took on the name of Alice Merry-Go-Round herself. Since then, every queen has taken that name. The one who appears in the story is the seventh one.

Alices 1 through 4 are based on Alice of Human Sacrifice, broken by the Fifth one.

Loop Octopus and Vaju are of the 6 mage families in the senate. Asayev and Li are of the 6 native local families. The families are supposed to be equal, but there are great gaps between them. Example being Loop Octopus has taken much of Vaju’s wealth, and there are two Loop Octopuses on the senate now (Gammon and his younger brother, Nazar, the family’s heir).

Lighwatch is a place where they raise queen candidates, but also has things like jail cells and execution devices like Torcia Tower. Lighwatch collects girls with Levia inheritor powers. They are able to remove “malice” from people’s hearts, and also hear the “voice of god”. Yegor is able to tell them by sight, as he is an inheritor of Behemo, who can see another person’s inheritor powers. Zellana and Elluka are orphans.

There were different varieties of Ghoul Children when it came to the artificial personalities they had. “Clean” refers to those that have no memories, “Preset” refers to those that have pre-made false memories, and “Copy” refers to those that have identical memories to Seth.

Catherine was a marine scientist, and married to Gilles. They rode along in the Climb One. They had a son, but he was sickly and did not ride on the same ship as them.

For this reason she grew jealous towards female psychologist Rahab, whose two children were able to board the ship with her. When she realized that Rahab was having an affair with Gilles, her jealousy turned to rage. She conspired with Lich to kill Rahab, but in the end was killed by Lich, who she realized too late was really “malice” wearing his form.

So then, I guess I’m gonna have to fix Original Sin Story: Punishment, whether I want to or not. Can’t wait to see what fuckery awaits us in it.

aizawa as a dad - teenage!reader

- fluff, dad aizawa momen

- warnings: hrmm none i think

- wc: 1.3k

a/n: basically me listing things i want bc im dadless

ps this is before the dorms were implemented meaning this takes place before that, so things that happened after that does not exist in this world

remembers your birthday

#! even you don’t remember it sometimes, but he does

#! it’s the morning of your birthday, you’re both in the kitchen

#! he’s drinking his daily dose of caffeine, lazily packing his lunch

#! you’re..falling asleep at the dining table...

#! you hear the chair next to you scrape across the floor, opening your eyes you see your dad deeply sigh while taking a seat

#! “you’re older now, so that means you have to be more responsible. you should be taking care of yourself. you also should listen to me more.”

#! you: ... (•.•?)

#! him: ..what?

#! “huh, what’re you going on about?” you rack your brain to think what could’ve possibly made him go on that unexpected lecture

#! “.......it’s your-,”

#! “OH, it’s my birthday,” you cut him off, giggling to yourself for forgetting such day

#! he sighs again and just pats your head before getting up to start leaving for school

#! “c’mon, you’ll be late.”

#! “ok~~.”

#! you won’t be late. he always make sure you’ll never be late, but he likes saying that because he thinks it’s so parent-like

always backs you up

#! even if deep down he knows you might lose in the practice battle against todoroki, he’s on your side

#! when it comes to silly little things like witty arguments between him and uncle present mic, you back him up leaving present mic with his echoed wails

#! also vice versa when you’re in some annoying banter with denki or something

#! you don’t call him ‘dad’ in class, nor does he show signs of favoritism towards you

#! you both know familial relations in school would always cause people to think about bias, favoritism, cheating, etc.

#! so luckily, he’s mature and you are too so you both know to not act so close with each other in school

#! but you drop the whole ‘aizawa sensei’ thing when you guys are alone

#! you did accidentally call him dad once when he was passing back test papers and you had a question about something

#! you were focused on the test papers you just got back, forgetting that you were in class for a second, and blurted out a quick, “dad? can you explain this.”

#! you didn’t even realize what you said until it got noticeably quiet in the class, causing you to raise your eyes up from the paper to see everyone looking at you and aizawa

#! he could care less, the man was getting cozy at his desk

#! you walked over to him anyway so he could answer your question

feeds you a lot of pre-made food or food that wasn’t cooked by him

#! he can’t really cook

#! he could do the bare minimum but the most you’ll ever get out of him is probably ramen with your favorite add-ons

#! his bffs can cook

#! aizawa doesn’t eat much himself, so when you entered his life he wasn’t really sure what to feed you

#! his best friends would cook for him now and then because they’re aware of his eating habits

#! but then they suddenly had two aizawas to feed

#! growing up you also ate a lot of freezer food. the good kinds though, the freezer food that doesn’t have that freezery taste after its been heated up

#! even though he couldn’t make you food, he still watched out for you and what you ate

#! if he notices that you’re eating too much sweet, he’ll comment on it. if he notices that you’re overdoing it with the salt, he’ll comment on it with a stern lecture about how deadly sodium can be.

#! he picks up your favorite convenience store snacks a lot after school

#! does aizawa seem like the type to make you eat veggies?? i’m not sure. sure he wants you to be healthy and not just consume junk, but i feel like he also doesn’t do too well with veggies

#! aizawa is secretly picky with his veggies hhhhh there’s specific ones he really likes, but for the most part he finds everything else weird in some way

#! headcanon that aizawa pouted over veggies he didn’t like as a kid and he would just stare at it thinking it’ll go away on its own

is loaded and spoils you unintentionally

#! he’s a prohero, one of the highest paying jobs by the government in the bnha universe

#! plus his teaching job. i know teachers salary isn’t too good, but it’s ua and this isn’t real life, so he’s probably getting paid stacks

#! also i think the cat outfit he bought for eri is suppose to be from some japanese brand that’s the equivalent of gucci in the u.s. (but ignore this bc this happened after the dorms were a thing 😁😁)

#! anyway he bought you a lot of toys as a kid, and tons of horrendous outfits that you cry over but never to his face because he’s trying his best </33

#! now that you’re a teenager, he doesn’t buy you toys anymore but has now evolved to buying you electronics on your birthday and just giving you pocket money

#! obviously aizawa doesn’t flaunt his wealth though, he doesn’t care about that and finds it unnecessary

#! he also barely spends on himself so he just has even more money saved up for no reason

#! but the thing is,, he doesn’t even realize how much he spends on you until you sit him down to talk to him

#! “dad, i do not need a new laptop. i’m fine with the one i have now, it’s still good. i saw you looking at laptops the other day.”

#! “what made you think i was looking at laptops for you?”

#! silence

#! complete, utter silence .....

#! “who’s it for then?!”

#! he rolls his eyes before answering you, “none of your business. go away.”

#! “ok fine whatever-,” you mumbled, “but my point still stands. i don’t need anything, and even if i did i can buy it myself!” you exclaimed boldly

#! “with what money?” he blankly stares at you

#! “with.....with... money i save up from birthdays and holidays because i never get to spend them!”

#! he just sighs, gets up from the couch, and walks away leaving you standing there smiling because you knew it was a successful talk

#! here’s a link to something i read that further added to my aizawa rich headcanon :]

kisses you goodnight on your forehead after he comes home from late missions/pro-hero runs

#! when you were a kid, you slept on his bed to feel safer

#! when he came home from late missions, he would walk into his room to see you bundled up in the blanket

#! after quickly getting ready for bed because he was schlumped, he got into bed as gently as possible to not wake you up

#! but you’re a light sleeper so you felt a familiar warmth encasing you and it jolted you awake, slightly whimpering trying to turn your head to see your dad

#! he noticed and quietly shushed you to get you back to sleep, “sh sh, it’s okay, it’s just me.”

#! your tiny arms would wrap around his chest and you stuffed your chubby face into his chest before you dozed off once again

#! now that you sleep in your own room, he would come home and peek in to check up on you

#! sometimes you were still awake — studying, on your phone, cleaning your room, insomnia, or just because

#! in this case he would just peek his head in, squint his tired eyes at you, mumble a slurred, “night.”, sigh at your smile that was clearly there to keep you from laughing, then finally head towards his room

#! but when he catches you asleep, he smiles to himself and makes his way into your room to give you a small forehead kiss before whispering, “goodnight.”

#! you never grew out of the light sleeping thing though, so you always knew of his small show of fatherly love

#! just don’t bring it up ever because he’s tired of you

I do feel like if we're going to say customs aren't commissions then custom owners shouldn't be the ones distributing them, because they're site assets so the site should be the ones distributing. As Stars mentioned (I believe, correct me if I'm wrong), it's basically a wishing well wish sped up, it's stated to not be a commission, can have artistic liberties taken on, are site assets, everyone knows the deal. So then, giving such wild distribution power to the owners feels contradictory. If you get to decide a new item for the site that's owned by the site, then it's not yours only, it's also the artist's item. It's not a commission, so you shouldn't be allowed to sell it for insane prices and profit off of it as if it was merch you had an artist help you with. I completely agree that customs aren't commissions, but owners having the freedom to charge millions contradicts that, because it implies it's their's only so they can do with it whatever they want.

It boils down to customs feeling like commissions because owners get to charge whatever they want however they want for it as if they had full rights to it, but customs are described otherwise. I think rather than arguing whether they are or aren't commissions, we all should focus more on making customs as a whole better, with more clarity and better processes and distribution. Not that I feel like customs are the most important thing on DV to work on, but if we're gonna talk customs might as well talk about how to make them better, right?

Sorry for the long post, don't forget to grab a bottle of water and a snack and try not to get more than your daily dose of sodium while on here. We all deserve room to breath!
