#gymnastics for beginners

[y-avann-a]

Rhythmic gymnastics is so amazing!

So I watched the qualifications yesterday and am watching the finals now and I did not expect all of the routines turned up to 12/10! (And at least some of the looks are new, right? Or am I just not remembering correctly?)

I am of course rooting for my German sisters, but all of them are so freaking amazing! I just love this sport so much, I wish it had more room on the Olympic stage like the other gymnasts, I would watch all the individual disciplines (and even more team combinations)

How did you learn to draw? Especially anatomy? What resources would you recommend for a beginner? I love, love your art. It is so beautiful

I've never used specific resources, just sorta been drawing since forever and just drew inspiration from other artists, games, shows, etc

Anatomy-wise, there's a more detailed reply buried somewhere in my asks but the TL;DR is I both "consume" a lot of artstyles that rely on precise anatomical knowledge AND used to watch and draw a lot of athletes, specifically gymnasts and contortionists when I was a kid. Drawing extreme poses has always been loads of fun to me and I feel like that's what helped me the most other than straight up just learning what muscles and bones are where

Hiii i’m new here so let me guide you through my chan brain rot so you can decide if this request is worth it or not☝️🤓

Ok so i’ve been thinking about bff Chan picking up fem swimmer!reader from late night practice and getting there a bit early so she’s still in the pool. He gets horny seeing her legs (i’m a simp for swimmers’ legs IM SO SOREY) and soaking wet and they fuck in the dressing room (just bc i think pool sex is too messy but this part is wtv for me).

Honestly i just think Chan is such a but/legs guy, i imagine him going insane between them and fucking the mc so hard to fulfill his horny and sentimental needs towards her.

Swim Practice

Oh lovely, I've got Chan brain rot 24/7 so let's get into it!!! And of course you can be pumpkin nonie! Sorry it took me so long! 💕

Littlest Mermaid 🪸: Channie! You’re still free to pick me up after practice, yeah? Chanstopher🐺: Yeah, I’ve got you Chanstopher🐺: What time do you get out again? Littlest Mermaid 🪸: I’ve got the place booked till 10 Chanstopher🐺: Late practice again? Littlest Mermaid 🪸: Mhm- Mr. Bahng told me I could since all the little kiddos are in their summer lessons Littlest Mermaid 🪸: I owe you big time I swear!! Chanstopher🐺: Yeah yeah, I’ll see you later!

Chris checked the text chat one last time as he pulled open the door to the community center, checking the time at the top of the screen - 9:34 PM, sure he was a bit early, but there was no way you were actually using the whole reservation time.

You and Chris had been best friends since he accidentally pushed you into the pool during your beginner swim lessons, and when he tried to help you out, you’d used all your 9-year-old strength to pull him in instead - from then on, you both have been attached to the hip. Where he was taking swimming lessons to compete in the local swim meets, you were taking swimming lessons because it was either that or gymnastics, according to your parents.

Still, despite your differing reasons for being in the swim classes - proudly led by his parents - you two managed to turn an unfortunate meeting into a friendship that would stand the test of time; from supporting him in his swim meets to supporting him in award shows, you remained a constant in his life.

Of course, he did his best to reciprocate the same support through sending you a wall of text when he learned you’d be taking up swim meets casually in your own division, and staying up late to watch the recordings of said swim meets that his mom and sister sent on your behalf. 

It was only when he went home one time two years ago that the tradition of him picking you up from late practices began; one surprise pop-up turning into him being your designated ride for as long as he was in Australia.

Walking down the all-too-familiar halls, the smell of chlorine slowly seeped into the air before he reached the double doors of the pool room, various warnings and rule lists plastered across the front. He pushed through the doors, the sound of splashing water proving him wrong as he spotted your form floating in the shallow end - eyes closed and limbs splayed out like a starfish, most likely relaxing after a few laps.

Smirking to himself, Chris snuck toward the edge of the pool you were closest to before bending down, putting his hand in the slightly cold water, and splashing water in your direction - laughing as you slipped back into wading.

“What the actual-?!” Wiping your face free of the droplets - ironically making your face even wetter in the process - your fiery glare landed on a familiar face, “Christopher! What the hell was that for?!”

“You looked too peaceful,” he taunted, tongue peaking out of the side of his mouth before a cheeky grin brightened his features.

You rolled your eyes, dipping your hand in the water before flicking some water back in his direction, “Oh whatever - what’re you doing in here anyways? You usually wait outside.”

He shrugged, “I didn’t think you’d still be in the pool - figured I’d just come in and wait this time, haven’t been inside since last year, you know?”

Puffing your cheeks, you waded your way over to the edge before resting your arms on the tiles, “I guess.. Give me one final lap then we can head out, okay?”

“Knock yourself out - we’re still on for Hungry Jacks after, yeah?”

“Of course! There’s no way I’d pass up food after a practice - or food in general.”

With that, he watched as you shuffled your way through the deep end before swimming toward the other half of the pool where they kept laned off for swim meets.

He had to admit, part of him missed competing and the rush of adrenaline when the buzzer went off and all he had to think about was ‘go’, but watching you set up for a lap made that bitterness just a bit sweeter - knowing that you were able to grow from a kid who claimed swimming like a frog was the best form, to earning a few medals in the breaststroke and butterfly stroke category.

The sound of splashing broke him from his reverie, his eyes locking onto your form as you broke into a breaststroke - simple, effective, a good choice to leave off with after hours of practicing with almost perfect technique.

By the time you had turned to finish out your lap, he was already walking toward the pool chair that had your towel draped over your bag, snatching the cloth in preparation for your grand exit.

Oh, how grand it was.

What he wouldn’t give to be the beads of water dripping down the curve of your hips and thighs, skin glistening under the fluorescent lights of the pool room as you pulled yourself out of the pool with hard-earned strength.

Now that you were up close, he could finally notice how your bathing suit was snugly hugging your shape, each bead of water acting like glitter to catch his eye effortlessly - well, almost effortlessly, as he thrusted the towel in your direction without a moment’s notice.

“Uh- Here!”

You took the towel gratefully, shooting him an earnest smile as you took the time to wipe down your arms and chest, “Thanks - just give me a second to rinse off and change, then we can head out.”

Chris meant to answer you, truly he did, but all thoughts of a reply fizzled out into nothing as his eyes began the exciting trail down your body once more - god, he never noticed how wonderfully shaped you were until now, especially your legs.

Curvy, sculpted, from your thighs to your calves, he could only imagine how strong they were - how they’d feel wrapped around his head.

He was a simple man, if he found someone attractive, it was because of a multitude of things, but those legs - your legs, were making him feel like he was a teenager going through puberty again.

“Channie?”

His eyes snapped up to yours, immediately clocking the sparkle of humor mixing with something unfamiliar - it made his stomach flip.

“I could use some help getting out of my bathing suit, if you don’t mind?”

Of course, as a great best friend, who was he to deny you help when you asked?

He could only assume that he was an even greater best friend from the way you were quivering underneath him, your hands holding onto the edge of the towel-covered bench for stability as he fucked you into next week.

“Fuck, look at you,” he groaned, one hand keeping your right leg pressed against his chest while the other gripped your hip, bathing suit laid in a wet heap somewhere along with his sweats and underwear. “You’ve got no clue how many times I’ve dreamt of this.”

Your cunt clenched around him, a shuddering moan falling from your lips as you nodded, “S-Same- fuck, wanted you so bad, Chris- E-Every time you visit.”

“You-” An incredulous scoff escaped him, lips pulling into a cocky smirk, “You waited until now to make a move? Baby, I could’ve been fucking this sweet pussy ages ago?”

You wanted to reply, maybe offer him an apology of some sorts, but his thrusts didn’t let up and the sight of him ducking his head down to press a fleeting kiss to your ankle made your brain evaporate.“It’s fine - we can make up for lost time, yeah?” Dropping his hand to the back of your knee, he pushed your leg up to your torso, mirroring the act with his other hand and your other leg, “After here, after Hungry Jacks, I’m spending the rest of the night with you, between these gorgeous legs of yours.”

Roll first, think later

There’s a fascinating phenomenon I observe every time I play with beginners.

Of all the unwritten rules new players are expected to grasp through play, a very common one is when to interject their narrative with a dice roll. Sure, most games have a variation of “describe what you want to do, and then roll the dice to see how it goes,” but exactly when one should stop narrating what happens and let the dice tell part of the story is more of an art form.

I usually see beginners falling somewhere between one of two ends of the spectrum. There’s either:

Player: “I swing my sword at them and cut them in half, and I look around, and the princess has fallen in love with me.” GM: “Wait, wait, wait. Let’s, uh… start with the attack roll first. How about that?”

Or:

GM: “It’s your turn.” Player: “Oh.” *rolls a d20* GM: “Wait, wait, wait. What are you even trying to do?”

It usually takes a few rolls (or a few sessions), but once we grasp that timing, it becomes so second nature that any game that subverts that norm feels… weird. 

Well, it just so happens that I love weird.

The misfortunes of fortune

When I say “norm” above, I’m oversimplifying. Different games have different moments when you’re expected to stop and roll the dice. Even within the same game, different types of action might call for different timing in rolls. 

This "dice roll placement" is what is normally referred to as fortune positioning, and if you search online for “fortune in the middle”, for example, you’ll find… well, contradicting definitions. But that’s beside the point. What’s important is that fortune positioning determines at which point in the trajectory from declaration of intent and narrated outcome we stop to check the dice (or any form of resolution mechanic, really). 

Traditionally, players learn when and how to do it by experience—observing their friends, absorbing table culture, and getting it wrong a few times until they get a feel for it. 

For some actions, it is easier to tell the right moment. If you are using a specific ability, there’s usually a well-defined order in which things happen. You say, “I’m going to activate my Soul Blast” or whatever, and we go, “OK, roll, and then we see what happens.” 

Things get murkier when there’s no hard-coded procedures, like social situations in trad games. You perform that incredible speech but roll poorly—now what? Do we undo what you just said? Do we make some mental gymnastics to justify why it didn’t land? Should you have gotten a bonus because of your roleplay? But if your character is not very charismatic in the first place, should they have even been able to articulate such a compelling argument? Endless discussions over this topic alone have filled forums for the past decades. 

Even when games have a much clearer instruction about fortune positioning—like PbtA games, which literally have a trigger for every move—it is still an acquired skill to understand when to shut your mouth and say, “Well, I guess we have to roll now, right?”. 

“Well, I guess I actually insulted the king instead.” Photo by Julia Taubitz on Unsplash

Fortune at the extremes

There’s no one solution for that situation, because, at least for me, it is not a problem to begin with. I see it instead as a fertile ground for experimentation. 

I’ve tried different approaches for fortune positioning with my games, and I especially like to push the needle beyond what’s usually considered the far ends of the spectrum. Let me explain what I mean.

See, when people describe “fortune at the end”, it usually implies that you describe everything that your character is able to do to affect the outcome, then you roll the dice, and then narrate the result. But what if you narrated even the outcome before you rolled the dice?

That’s what I did in Insurgent. The game says:

Regardless of your result, everything you describe happens exactly how you describe it. The roll of the dice determines the fallout of your action.

See, the dice don’t determine whether you succeed in your intended action. Instead, you describe the whole action beforehand, including its result. The dice inform the consequences of your action. A “fortune at the very end” kind of roll, perhaps?

At the other end of the spectrum, we have “fortune at the beginning,” which is usually described as rolling right after a declaration of intent and approach, using the dice result to inform what and how it happens. But… can’t we go even further back? What if we rolled before we decided what to do?

Fortune at point zero

That example at the beginning—the player enthusiastically reaching for the dice and rolling even before clarifying their intention—always stuck with me. What if we didn’t try to stop it, but instead leaned into it as the intended behavior?

For that to work, I figured that the system would have to follow these criteria:

All rolls in the game should be the same.

A roll is expected to be made at every turn.

There should be meaningful choices after the roll is made.

I finally managed to pull it off in my latest release, Load the Simulation. Let me show you how I followed these criteria and why I believe it works. 

At the top of your turn, before you even think about your action, you grab 3d6 and roll them. It’s always 3d6, and there are no modifiers. If you had attributes, skills or actions that indicated different modifiers (like d20 systems), dice pools (as in Blades in the Dark), dice sizes (as in Savage Worlds), or dice pools and sizes (like in Cortex Prime), that wouldn’t work. You’d at least need to declare your approach before rolling. I didn’t want that, so all rolls are the same (meeting the first criterion). 

These rolls happen during the training exercise—your character is on a centuries-long mission to prepare exoplanets for colonization, and you’re going through training simulations (think The Matrix, X-Men or Star Trek). Since every turn represents an attempt to progress toward your mission objective, a roll is always required (meeting the second criterion). In a more open-ended scenario, that assumption wouldn’t necessarily apply.

Each die represents something different:

• The YOU die – Your character’s effort.

• The FOE die – The opposition.

• The ECO die – The environment.

You roll them together and arrange the results in a vertical line on the table, from highest to lowest— the Stack. The die with the highest roll determines the dominant force in the scene. If the YOU die is not the highest, you’ll take Conditions. You have to choose whether to affect:

Your body (Harm) – Bruises, burns, or worse.

Your mind (Stress) – The slow wear of fear and pressure.

Your relationships (Friction) – Putting crewmates in danger, failing to have their back, or blaming them for your mistakes.

You can also choose to break one of your modules to avoid a condition, or use them in the scene to break a tie. So there’s this short mini-game you play after you roll to determine the mechanical implications of your roll (the third criterion). 

With all the mechanical bits resolved, you’re left with a scene to paint. The roll generated a lot of input, and you can create a rich narrative that won’t later be contradicted by a dice roll. 

Say the ECO die is higher, and you marked Friction. How does the environment take central stage, and how does that affect your bonds with your crewmates? Perhaps a tremor opens a giant crack in the ground, you grab your friend by the arm to keep balance, but end up sending them tumbling down near the edge of the cliff. That is… so much fun!

You get to look at the dice as a fortune-teller reading runes, and extract juicy, colorful fiction from the results. You decide if you’re in a more active position, taking the lead and making progress, or in a more reactive one, trying to resist this alien world that is trying to crush you. 

See, it is not that you are abdicating control over what your character does by rolling before deciding. You still have total freedom of choice, but you’re informed of the outcome beforehand, so you get to frame that snippet of a scene, including actions and reactions, in a vivid way that incorporates everything you accomplished and everything you suffered in the process. And I think that’s neat. 

There’s more nuance to it (each combination of dice position has different mechanical ramifications), but that’s the gist of it. I’m certainly not the first person to think of the roll first, think later approach to resolution mechanics, but I am really excited about how I managed to implement it in Load the Simulation. 

If you want to learn more about this game of high-octane training simulations and intense interpersonal conflict, the crowdfunding campaing started yesterday and I'd love your support.

Can I just say, as a former sexworker, that Angel Dust's choreographies are bland as shit? The guy is supposed to be the most popular pornstar in Hell, and his choreography/dances are the blandest, skill-less, most simple basic bitch shit I've ever seen. If you start learning (pole) dancing already having some skills (good rythm, having done gymnastics in your youth), you can achieve these dances in two sessions or less.

The guy is supposed to having been in hell since the 40s I believe, and this is the best he can do?? Wth?

I know it's because Raphielle is the choreographer and they are basing this on what they do, but it SHOWS they just know beginner shit.

It's not just Angel Dust who suffers for it either. Raphielle is an absolutely terrible choreographer.

Library day! Sometimes broadening your reading and challenging yourself means picking up a book on a totally foreign topic. I decided to pick up a book on how to do a gymnastic split for very stiff beginners, along with the giant hulking chinese history book i planned on getting. (Also got an alpine cookbook and a manual on furniture design.)

The history book is fascinating and i read 30pg at the library, but as soon as i got home i was so excited by the splits manual i got right down on the floor in jeans to try the instructions! Then I realized i wouldn't be getting anywhere without changing into more appropriate clothes 😅

[artfightdramaconfessions]

Try not to be too paranoid about if other's comments on your attacks mean they secretly hate your art or something. Not everyone is playing mental gymnastics with you or has bad intentions.

I personally like to point out specific things in art I really really like. Not because I dont like the art, but because I like telling people the specific thing they did really good at. When I was a beginner artist, being told what specifically made my art appealing helped me find and develop my art style. So I like receiving and giving specific compliments. :3

the thing that a lot of anti-porn or anti-sex work sentiments seem to misunderstand is that a lot of the issues that get contributed to porn consumption are actually the result of porn being the only way a lot of people receive an education about sex at all

porn is entertainment. it is at its core an idealized and exaggerated version of sex. we shouldn’t expect people to learn healthy relationships from disney movies, or conflict resolution from wrestling, or healthy beginners exercising techniques from olympic gymnasts.

when porn is having to fill the gap left behind by a society that refuses to talk about sex like it’s a part of life and restricts sex education as a result, of course people are going to end up with a warped view of what sex is supposed to be like. and porn looks fun but it’s made to entertain, so it leaves out the technical stuff. the conversations, the discussion of boundaries, the safety education. all of that stuff is set to the side to get to the meat (haha) of it because porn was never meant to be your teacher and isn’t a replacement for learning about how to have a healthy sexual relationship and shouldn’t be expected to be

Could you share your favorite stretches for strong and flexible feet? I know ballet dancers take good care of their feet mobility, and I’m personally trying to improve the flexibility of my feet and strengthen my ankles since I feel they’re not as strong as I would like currently.

Vadim Rzaev, a ballet teacher in Russia, has an Instagram account and YouTube channel where he often shares stretches and conditioning exercises for strong feet. I think this is really the best place to start, as you can take each exercise in isolation and try it from a beginner level, instead of trying a really long routine intended for trained dancers.

The exercises demonstrated in this video aren’t intended for dancers or gymnasts, but rather for rehabilitation after illness. I recommend starting here if you have especially weak strength in your feet and ankles.

I also like this stretching routine for something beginner-friendly, but still challenging. This routine is more for an intermediate level, I think, and incorporates most of the stretches I do daily. Building foot strength by picking up things with your feet (my ballet teacher in England has us pick up marbles, but start with something easier, like the sock shown in this video) is very important, and you also need to be regularly rolling and massaging your feet so that they don’t end up stiff or cramped and can become more flexible.

The most important thing of all is consistency. It’s much better to do a small amount of work on your feet everyday and gradually build strength, than it is to do a lot in one go, risk injuring yourself, and then not going back to do it again. Little and often is really the key here.

The fact that of all instruments, Loid chose to see Anya's potential in music through a violin drives me insane. The violin is one of the hardest instruments to learn, and even harder to master a good sound for beginners. Among my co-students we had a joke that went something like "When a child is on their first year on the violin, their entire family suffers" because most first-year violin students (unless they're like, prodigies or something) need about a year to achieve a sound that sounds like music and not like nails on a chalkboard. Even people who eventually become professional violinists are pretty terrible on their first year.

And aside from the difficulty of producing a good sound, there's the thing about the violin (along with the other string instruments of that section, viola, cello and double bass) being a fretless instrument. There are no frets separating the neck in "notes". That means that you only learn where each note is by practice and muscle memory.

In comparison, guitars - also string instruments, but of a different classification since they don't use bows - have frets.

(that doesn't mean that the guitar is a much easier instrument to learn or play. But you can clearly tell where each note is - though you still have to practice a lot before you can confidently play without counting the frets each time)

WHAT I'M SAYING IS, when introducing children of that age into playing music you usually start with percussion instruments to give them the hands-on experience of "I hit this and it makes a sound. I hit it differently and it makes a different sound". If the child wants to pick up a more demanding instrument... at least you need some patience as a caretaker and an instructor. My boi Loid gave up after a few minutes of Anya simply exploring the instrument.

Now, I understand this was done for humorous purposes, Anya did overdramatically break the strings after all, and to show that Twilight was so stressed for time that he forgot that kids need time to learn and develop a skill. He has the same reaction with Anya being normal for her age at drawing and gymnastics, too. Especially with the gymnastics thing - just like he gave her a violin and expected her to play fucking Paganini or whatever, he had her try jumping on a vault, then Yor came and suggested something more appropriate and achievable for a beginner her age, jumping rope.

Still, I'm going to raise my snooty nose and take this as a headcanon that, finally, we were shown something Twilight genuinely doesn't know shit about. He knows to take the family to the opera to make them appear upper-class, but he doesn't know how one learns music. I mean, that's okay. He's perfect in pretty much all other specialties, he can afford being shitty at one.

Just a little desperately seeking comfort and Eclipse more than meeting her halfway.

-

OC who was originally a human hired by Fazbear to work at the Pizzaplex creating visual assets and art for their promotions and posters. Ended up befriending the animatronics and realizing they were sentient beings.

Strong moral code meant that she then began trying to help the Animatronics get freedom and be recognized as sentient citizens.

Fazbear does not like this and when she shows no plans of stopping despite them thwarting several of her plans, they then decide to just straight up kill her.

She ends up waking up in the body of an animatronic. Specifically, the animatronic design she had started working on at the beginning of her employment just for fun. She never knew they found her doodles and started making it.

More doodles and concept art for Kitty below the read more.

Miss Kitty is an acrobatic animatronic that was planned to originally do various acrobatic stunts and shows as well as serve as another attraction at the pizzaplex. There were also plans beginning to be put in place to have her teach beginner acrobatic and gymnastic classes to kids at the pizzaplex.
