4: Sitting in the Gym Parking Lot: A Gentle Step Toward Physical Movement
For many people living with Post-Viral ME/CFS, even the thought of physical exercise can feel overwhelming. The body is a delicate balance, and pushing it beyond its limits can trigger post-exertional malaise (PEM)—that all-too-familiar crash after exertion that leaves you feeling more fatigued and symptomatic than before. Yet, there may still be a desire, a pull to move your body, to regain some…

Character relations/opinions!
Alright before I post any more Battle Addict stuff I should probably explain what a League Council is. Here's a summarized diagram:
A Pokemon League is a region's network of specialized skilled trainers. It is run by the League Council, which includes finance, HR, marketing, PR, and other managing departments which are divided into different branches depending on who they work with.
This is all to say that everything gets messy very quickly when news of the diagnosis spreads through the network. Originally the diagnosis was supposed to be private information for only the Battle and League departments, however certain higher ups felt it was a safety risk and notified gym leaders as well in the event of future collaborations.
The network is mostly divided into people who are positive/neutral about the news, and people who feel negatively about the twins as a result. Coworkers who were already familiar/close with the two tend to be positive, or at least supportive, whereas those who didn't know them got another reason to avoid them. Some people think they should go on leave for "recovery", but some are more forward and want them terminated.
If you're wondering where Cynthia falls in this, she's a foreign top league worker (Sinnoh Champion) who is hosted in Unova. Basically she has dept. employees assigned to help her connect to people around the region and get different services if requested. She's basically watching everything unfold from the sidelines, with every interview about her opinion boiling down to "lol if you're scared of people stronger than you then get good". She does also bring up historic accounts of CM/HCCM though, mostly to clarify that CM is not a new or scary thing. She's not for or against the twins, rather just hoping to use this as an opportunity to teach others.
I didn't end up drawing her because I got tired but Elesa got the news too!! She actually got it before everyone else since the twins decided to go tell her beforehand. The general scene basically had Ingo and Emmet deliberating in the car, Ingo telling Emmet it's not too late to turn around and go home while Emmet was hesitant but adamant that they needed to tell her first. She probably took it the worst out of everyone but that's mostly just cause it caught her off guard that her friends would just randomly drop in to deliver the news. She's still rooting for them though, mostly trying to support the Subway with more collaborative events to make the twins look better after the hit from the media. She also tries to rework Emmet's restraints where possible, usually trying to make them look more cohesive with the rest of an outfit or trying to make them less visible (cause as much as Emmet says it's not a big deal it's still the first thing he looks at in his reflection).
Here's them in alt clothes :7
Man is cuffed under there (T_T)
Can't really think of too much to say so hope you guys like the art and see you later!
#submas#submas au#au#ingo#subway master ingo#ingo pokemon#nobori#emmet#subway master emmet#emmet pokemon#kudari#pokemon shauntal#caitlin pokemon#marshal pokemon#champion cynthia#grimsley#Elesa will use these two to model clothing lines without mentioning Emmet's are technically modified to match his work requirement#“His hands are just cold dw about it”#I wonder if Emmet's version of the clothes would be sold seperately#surely there must be a market for thick clothes with long sleeves and a compression fit#hell Emmet's league restraint is like half leather by volume there's gotta be an audience for that#also for those wondering‚ BFOs are considered auxilliary to the formal league and are considered as extra members for special events#They're generally not included unless an event is being planned or they need the extra marketing bait#Also the General Department handles other tasks!! it's just that most people are assigned/categorized for a specific dept. anyway#so the GD is for people coming in from out of the region or people ranking below gym leaders since they aren't assigned#All this writing is kinda making my head hurt‚ see you guys later

it's not sinking in that today might be the last day in my house and town for many months to come
#like how do i even feel#on one hand im excited because like now that i finally agreed to dads stupid whims he technically will have to give in to things#ive been wanting since FOREVER like going to the gym#plus it's impossible to eat junk food when he's there he won't even let me kacchi maggi because maida hai bimar ho jayegi#and aadhe se zyada din toh pyaaz ye sab nahi kha sakte so it rules out any outside food#which is so good because like i just found out im pre diabetic lol#like borderline sugar like ab kuch nahi kiya toh seedha type 2 diabetes#so i need to eat healthy or ill literally die#i mean eventually but whatever being diagnosed with this in my 20s would kill me#also simply the fear of living with him is so much that i HAVE to study#and i want to now it's high time#but yeah want doesn't really work for me#i read a quote somewhere that 'goals' don't mean anything because winners and losers have the same goals#and i was like WOAH. like the person who gets an all india rank had the same goal as me: to pass the exam with good marks#but they succeeded and i didn't so it's isn't our goals that differentiate us#which ik is obvious but like still idk put things in perspective#anyway yeah that way my life MIGHT be fixed#but there's also living ALONE with my sociopathic FATHER who has more mood swings than me on pms#and being cut off frm the rest of civilisation and yk developed roads and buildings and ice cream shops#i guess it is mostly food ig :( which is good like the most junk food i can eat there is a burger from a nearby stall and that's pretty#much it they literally do not even have havmor or anything in walking distance forget scoop wali ice cream#but i like my bed and i like my ceiling with the stars and i like looking out of my window and knowing that the first ever crush of my life#lives right next to me and i like knowing that ill meet my bestfriend atleast once a month#i don't really love my mom or my brother tbh but idk maybe ill miss them it's weird ive never lived without them#i don't know i really hope that this is like a boot camp kota types experience rather than so much isolation that i sink deep into#depression. but then ive hit pretty shocking lows this year so hopefully i can handle it#my sister did say that when she lived alone with him for a month it was quite peaceful and okay because he usually gets more angry when mom#is around warna mostly he's fine#i don't know i don't know bhagwan ji please ab aur mushkil mat banana life bohot jhatke de chuke ho already ab pls#mujhe apni galtiyo ko sudharne ka mauka dena 🙏

just had a hilarious thought of bruce catching wind of bernards not exactly safe or balanced training regime and invites him over for lunch under the guise of 'bonding with the potential father in law' only for bruce to start indirectly giving him batman-training advice
#bernards like Wow mr. wayne i heard you were a gym enthusiast but your indoor gym is insane!#bruce thinking about the million dollar state of the art batcave gym right under bernards feet: thank you#weeks later bernard and tim are working out together and without thinking fall into batman training and tim has to pause and be like#what the fuck. how does he know how to do that#bruce wayne#tim drake#bernard dowd

One Piece Modern Gym AU wips
(Part 3)
Sanji actually tried to tell Nami about Zoro’s behavior and that he went into the girls' changing room with Vivi and Koala. But she just laughed at him.
“Did one of them tell him to set them down or to leave the room?”
“No…not that I noticed…” Sanji said, slightly pounding.
“Then he didn't do anything to violate their personal space. Believe me, if Vivi wouldn't want him to be there, she’d kick him out in no time.”
Sanji sighed and nodded, admitting his defeat and went back to the bar. He sat there for quiet some time until two of the girls came over to order a strawberry shake from him.
“Right away my lovely ladies.”
They smiled at him and then turned to each other to continue their conversation.
“It’s so lovely to see her again after such a long time,” the blonde one said.
“Yes, but to be honest, she didn't have to go through all of this just to get that body,” the brunette replied. “It’s achievable with training and a bit help of steroids or something like that.”
“True, true. You know I can't imagine getting my breasts chopped off just to look a bit more buff.”
Now, Sanji's curiosity was piqued. He leaned a little closer to the girls to hear better, and they went on about a woman (apparently) who used to come to this Gym and left almost three years ago, never coming back once, and now suddenly was back again. Sanji couldn't remember someone new besides Zoro. But those two were clearly talking about a girl. Maybe she went to the Gym when Sanji wasn't there. And what was all that talk about getting her breasts removed? He couldn't quite follow that part of the conversation.
“Two strawberry shakes, for two beautiful girls,” Sanji put the drinks in front of them smiling.
“Thanks, Sanji! That's what I need right now,” the blonde smiled back and the brunette nodded along.
“I couldn’t help but follow your conversation a bit.,” Sanji admitted. “Who are you talking about, if I may ask?”
The girls looked at each other, then at Sanji and the blond sighed almost inaudibly.
“Just an old friend of ours,” she said, but the way she pronounced the word friend told Sanji a lot about that apparent friendship. “You actually know her. But we promised not to tell her name to anyone who doesn't know her three years ago.”
“And you keep that promise?” He was actually surprised by that - judging by how she just told him between the lines that she couldn't stand that girl.
“We unfortunately have to,” the brunette chimed in. “Otherwise we aren't allowed here anymore and this is the best Gym for women in this town.”
That was interesting! Who of the girls was so close to Nami that she threatened others to ban them from the Gym for literally just telling a name? And who matched the vague description he had from listening in on the conversation. He had to find out!
prev | next
First part
#Yes! Sanji is that oblivious about Zoro!#Also he never saw Zoro work out without a shirt on so he never saw his scars#I have way to much fun with this!#Have to turn this into a proper fic after finishing my current one#one piece#roronoa zoro#zosan#black leg sanji#one piece sanji#one piece modern gym au

tried putting on my radiator for the first time this winter (we've had snow this week.... its focking cold) but it trips the fusebox for the entire flat lmfao. I'm fuuuucked 😐
#all the other radiators work fine its just mine :'(((#and bc its thw weekend they wont come out to fix it until monday at least so thats great#its fine i havent needed it on this week so far and i have layers and a hot water bottle so ill be fine but i did cry abt it a bit#but not so much abt the radiator just a lot on my mind.. i couldnt pick up my prescription after work either bc the secretary left half an#hour early and the very kind nurse who had a look for it anyway couldnt find it and i cant get there any earlier next week bc of work#i know itll be fine ive already sent an email to ask if they can send it to my local pharmacy instead ill get my meds before they run out#but still i cried a bit walking home from the clinic 😢 just been a long week even if not a bad one. and i miss my friend whos moving#he'll be on the plane now.... man. its a bit selfish but im also sad abt it bc he always noticed how i was feeling when i was at the gym#like if i was privately dealing w some shit or just wasnt quite myself he could tell n would find a moment to gently ask or just be there#without probing abt it like man hes so reassuring and kind and has such a big heart. before he left he asked me to look out for some of#the quieter ones in our group and make sure they feel included and someones listening to them when he wont be around to anymore#😢💔💔💔💔 and i know i didnt know him long enough to become proper good friends with him but it meant a lot that he looked out for me#like all i really want in this world is to feel seen n safe esp when im having a hard time. and none of my closer friends really do that#and thats okay like its not their fault and they just express their way of caring differently but sometimes i feel so lonely ah....#and also my period is due and im kind of scared of how painful itll be bc the last few have been so bad snd i find loneliness a lot harder#when im in a lot of pain and anyway this is all probably just the pre period hormones making me so tearful so it doesnt matter#its ok made a big bowl of rice so im going to eat that wrapped up cosy in bed with a movie i think. and then sleep#.diaries

#i’ve been nauseous for a week straight and for some reason my balance has been so bad i’m just like. stumbling around my apartment#i’ve left the house twice since tuesday and once was to go to therapy. and once i got back i was so fucking out of it i just went to bed#i went to the cinema tonight and couldn’t eat the candy i bought and i fell asleep for half the movie anyways#i haven’t been able to go to the gym at all. haven’t even been able to go to the grocery store#i’m so sad and so scared 👍 and everyone just keeps telling me how young i am 👍 and to appreciate being young 👍 yeah i’m trying 👍#it’d be easier if i could enjoy one fun weekend without being crippled for a week afterwards#i don’t even know man. despite therapy and time off work i don’t feel like i’m getting better. i feel like i’m actively getting worse#especially after the medication trial. i feel that shit fucked me up so bad i’m still recuperating#idek what to do but i’m so miserable and exhausted and i dont want to deal with any of this

Ohhhhhh I see, the orthotics that an orthopedist gave me 5 years ago way overcorrected my ankle pronation to supination but I’ve been so used to walking like that that I didn’t notice and now all of my shoes are worn completely down on the outside edge, my arches are weak, and my balance is nonexistent
#now that I’m a gym girlie I’ve been paying attention to my alignment#and I was trying to do goblet squats and I was like why the FUCK do I keep rolling to the outside edge of my shoes#so I tried lacing them tighter but it was so hard to keep my ankles straight#then I noticed the uneven wear on my sneakers#and then I thought about what it felt like when I wore new shoes to work the other day without orthotics#and I took my orthotics out of my sneakers and tried again and it was instantly better#not 100% great but#a noticeable difference#I need to re strengthen my ankles and arches#and I ordered new sneakers#so that’ll get me the rest of the way#but literally guys I love the gym I fear

every like 6 months i go through a phase of "i need to get buff" But i never do it. but maybe this time
#text#the thing is well a) i would need Equipment and such and b) i hate standing and also physical exertion and c) i have no where to work out#other than my school gym which would suck balls because people i know miught be there and also they dont even have showers#but if i go to a public gym i would be in a shared changing room and showers and stuff and id rather die#but also it would be so funny if i was buff#arm wrestling match so humbling it has me googling ''how to get buff without leaving my room''

very disappointed in myself for bailing on my fitness class today but i am listening to the signs my body is giving me and it is saying no
#i’ve been going more often and i’ve started going to the longer class#so i think i just need another week to acclimate before going more times a week#unfortunately their schedule doesn’t work for me on the weekends with work so that’s why i try to fit it in during the week#but maybe i can go to the gym after work tomorrow. it’s not the same but it’ll make me feel better for missing today#trying not to go more than 2 days without exercising because it’s making me feel so much better#hate when trite health advice turns out to be true lmao

i like to think larry's position as a member of the elite four is largely unknown. people know that he's a gym leader because they need that information ( and because he's been one for so long ) but the elite four? he'd argue it's better to remain anonymous, as much as he can manage. force the challengers to plan for everything, so they aren't totally wiped by the mystery trainer. additionally, larry doesn't talk about this job, and has asked most people not to as well -- but even if they did, who would believe that the normal type gym leader would be an elite four member? is that even allowed? doesn't he HAVE an office job?
what helps the most with keeping it quiet, though: rika and poppy are strong. he doesn't fight very often -- most challengers don't make it past them.
#//his main concern is getting in and out of restaurants without getting mobbed. yes he likes his privacy but that is priority number one.#//its not a COMPLETE mystery by any means but he Will deny it unless its like. another gym leader asking.#//people start questioning it the more he shows up to help deal with Dangerous Po.kemon (pa.radox po.kemon sightings)#//but ultimately he works at the league so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe they just deal with that stuff#headcanon.

not that this means anything to anyone but v4 (yellow) I'm rly proud of finally fucking getting at the gym today its taken me 3 visits over the last 3 weeks to nail it. woof......
#the start is NASTY i do it with one foot crammed in the top corner of the right semicircular one and wedge my hands as firmly as i can-#backwards against the top of the other dual tex on the left n push until i can reach the middle n bring my left foot up..#lemme tell u now. those starting holds are higher off the ground than u think 😵💫 theyre above hip height for me#dual tex is slippery hard plastic rather than the usual sandpapery texture of indoor holds btw. see the light reflecting off it? yeah.#fucking death trap for sweaty or chalky hands but in order to use the top of the volume later u 100% need chalk#so i have to start without it n chalk up halfway#also im relatively short (for a climber.. not short generally lol) so i cant reach the volume w both feet secure. was giving me hell 😭#cuz it means i have to put my whole weight on a CURVED DUALTEX SURFACE!!!!! theres not even rly any good spots to smear#so scary. and yeah the finish is a pain without crazy reach too i had to get a whole elbow on top of the black volume before i could#on my like 4th? try today i got one hand on the final hold and my friend watching said out loud wouldnt it be sooo annoying if u fell rn#and i slipped just as he fucking said that bc he put the idea in my head but luckily JUST caught myself w a smear. ASSHOLE (affectionate)#i need to get someone to film me doing it next week i wanna start recording stuff so i can see what i need to work on#n also remember things im proud of getting!!!!#this is my 3rd v4 at this one gym i think.. theyre a little softer abt grading tho i only have 1 v4 under my belt at the other one#some truly disgusting v3s today too. someone got a great pic of me grimacing on one bc i only got one hand to the top#ill fully send it next week my legs were just killing me by that point n theres some weird twists n pushes u have to do#but so close...argh!#anyway damn its wayyy past my bedtime and i have to be up for work in 6 hours 🙃 gonna shower and zonk out gooooodnight#.diaries

Love that they take Bella with the gym with them all the time
#*p#What does she even do while she's there#Do they make her work out too#doing little dog squats. idk how a dog would do that how about a dog plank that is possible my dogs love doing that#i've made this exact post before haven't i#i think i probably even said that exact same thing. well without those tags#they take bella to the gym a lot so not my fault#wait. how do they even get her in the gym#why is that allowed#i 've never been to one but i would assume most don't let your dog come with you. did they have to go ask for special permission like#hey i'm famous therefore let me take my dog in the gym with me. said dog is known for peeing on things but ignore that#i need to go write my homework and stop talking about wayv's dog going to a gym. my midterm is next week and i feel like i am stupid#well at least i am confident i won't be the most stupid person in my class#do you think that's enough words yet#it's like i'm writing an essay and am trying to say one thing but repeat it in three different ways and in as many words possible and#wondering why i exist just to write an essay. but that is also just my stream of consciousness#now on to the real reason of this post: i opened this and tell me why i was MOMENTARILY VERY BRIEFLY light headed at the sight of his chest#i'm so confused did the asexualism just leave my body#hmm#no i think i'm good i still don't want to fuck him#crisis over#...i think
