HAPPY GALANTINE’S SHANA

I would love some Momma Hera or anything MDZS. THANK YOU. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

 Xichen isn't in his room.

"Told you," Wei Wuxian says. "Bet you a bottle of wine he's in Da-ge's."

"Do I look like a fool to you?" Nie Huaisang demands.

Wei Wuxian whistles. "We'd need a lot more alcohol and maybe a flow chart to answer that question."

Nie Huaisang hits him with his fan.

Lan Wangji takes a deep, calming breath. There are plenty of reasonable explanations for why his brother is out of his room after curfew that don’t involve Nie Mingjue.

He can’t think of any, currently, but that’s because the two of them slap fighting each other behind him.

“Enough,” he snaps. He can’t turn them over to the one duty senior disciple because they’re clan heirs and any punishment could have political implications, which means Xichen or Uncle need to be the ones to issue them. But Xichen isn’t here and Uncle won’t be pleased to be woken up over a couple tardy disciples. The issue of the wards is concerning, but they’d been back in place when he’d gone to check, and there’s no real reason it can’t wait to morning. “Go to your dormitory. I’ll report your actions to my uncle in the morning.”

Xichen would have been more lenient, but he thinks they could benefit from a strict punishment.

“Why don’t you escort us there?” Wei Wuxian asks with a smile that makes Lan Wangji want to lean away from him or maybe lean cl – no, definitely away. “This place is so big. You don’t want me getting lost, do you?”

The paths are rather easy to follow, even at night. They hadn’t seemed to have any trouble getting here in the first place.

Nie Huaisang retches. “Seriously? First Da-ge and now you? What is it about the Lans?” He pauses, looking Lan Wangji up and down in a way that he’s not totally certain he’s comfortable with. “Okay, I mean, I suppose I see the appeal, but still.”

Wei Wuxian reaches out to punch Nie Huaisang in the side without looking at him. “Shut up.”

“Maybe we should get more alcohol,” he continues, not listening. “I think I’m going to need it.”

Lan Wangji leaves them still bickering.

~

The next morning Nie Huaisang wails all throughout his punishment. It’s not even that bad – he doesn’t even have to do a handstand, just copy rules of punctuality and prohibition.

Wei Wuxian, on account of meddling with the wards (Xichen had been impressed but Uncle hadn’t been), has to a handstand for several hours in the courtyard.

Doing it shirtless seems unnecessary.

Winking at him every time he walks by also seems unnecessary.

“Wow,” Xichen says, the time he’s unfortunately there to witness this behavior. “Are you sure he’s adopted?”

“Shut up,” Nie Mingjue grumbles.

Xichen listens about as well as Nie Huaisang had. Lan Wangji can’t mind, because he shouldn’t be saying that to him anyway. “Because I remember you at a certain age-”

Nie Mingjue draws his sword and Xichen is laughing as he mirrors him, the two of the sparring across the courtyard.

Lan Wangji is glad that Xichen has a friend.

He just wishes him visiting wasn’t necessitated by Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang making a mess of everything as quickly as possible.

“She is so going to fall. How many seconds are you giving her?”

Johnny leans against the railing, glancing at your assistant as he ponders in his thoughts.

“I give her about two seconds.”

“Bullshit. Both of you are going to be buying me lunch when this is over,” you chime in.

The two men share a laugh, and the rest of the staff join in as they prepare to watch you fail. Your eyes shift to Johnny when the lights reflect off the diamond-encrusted plate temporarily attached to his front bottom row of teeth. His tongue rolls over his top lip before he bites his lip absentmindedly, watching you as attentively as you are him. It’s a distraction you cannot indulge in due to the multiple people around you and the sudden jerk your body feels when the bull begins to move.

“Thirty seconds, motherfuckers! Pay attention.”

Your thighs clench, and you put on your game face, letting the snickers and side comments travel through your ears and disappear into the air. Your dominant hand holds on with all its strength while your other hand extends outward. You’re devoted to staying balanced because that’s going to be the key to lasting the entire time.

“Look at her only using one hand,” your assistant comments.

“That’s all I need.”

You hear Johnny fake a cough after your reply, and you squint your eyes at him just before the bull begins to spin. The ride starts to get rough quickly but you hang in there. Thirty seconds feel like hours when you’re being tossed around. Once you have a strong grip and a feel of what the bull can do, you’re about fifteen seconds in and ready to knock them out.

For show, you arch your back and smile at the people filming on their phones. The teasing is replaced with praises as everyone starts cheering you on. Everyone except one, who’s looking on with an unreadable expression. 

Suddenly, the ride switches gears, and you almost slip off. You struggle as you’re leaning toward one side, and you almost allow yourself to fall, forfeiting the last few seconds before a voice sways your decision. 

“Keep going, baby girl.”

You don’t even need to look to know who it belongs to. A switch flips on, and you regain control. The countdown begins, and your burning muscles work overtime to keep you on the bull. When time’s up, you make a victorious but not-so-graceful landing.

You lie there relishing in the cheers, but when your eyes open, you only want to see one person’s smile. However, he’s nowhere in sight. You get and dust yourself off before climbing out of the ring, receiving nothing but high-fives as you descend the stairs.

“Let’s go celebrate girl! You did that shit,” someone calls out.

You agree, but only to get them off your back while you seek out the man you’ve been waiting to talk to all day. “Yeah, I’m just going to go grab my stuff, and I’ll be back.”

It’s partly the truth. 

You will be back, but your purse is in the sprinter, on the other side of the set.

Still, you make your way past several trailers, looking for the one belonging to the star of the music video. Unfortunately, every trailer looks the same, and you can only pinpoint a general area of where he is.

As you peek into one trailer’s window, the door to the one behind you opens. When you turn around, you see Johnny standing on the threshold, wearing one of his signature smirks.

“Looking for someone?” he questions.

“Maybe.”

Johnny nods, his cowboy hat still covering his dark eyes. He’s probably waiting for the stylists to undress him since there’s one more shoot tomorrow, but since you’re here, you might be able to help with that.

“I see you don’t have time for me today. But it’s cool.”

You roll your eyes. He knows he can’t let himself get jealous; it’s too risky. 

The first time was supposed to be the last time, but a year later you still can’t keep your hands off each other. The industry isn’t kind to artists who sleep with their managers. No one wants to work with them out of fear of messy situations. The things you do to each other must remain a secret if you want it all to last. However, some days are more difficult than others.

“Whatever. I’m going to lunch,” you sigh. “Do you want anything?”

You start walking away before he responds, and once you’re about three feet away, something flies over your head and you feel it tighten around your midsection.

“What the–”

You look down and notice that you’re caught up in a rope. Before you can ask any questions, you’re pulled back until you run into something, or someone.

“You aren’t the only one who’s learned some tricks.”

Johnny spins you around, making you face him.

“Don’t be like that. You know I like teasing you,” he reasons, but you don’t want to hear it.

He knows you’re sensitive about this stuff, seeing many of your colleagues' reputations ruined for the same thing you’re doing with him. 

“It’s not funny, though.”

Noticing the small pout on your lips, Johnny gives the rope enough slack for it to fall and he pulls you in for a hug. His chin rests on your forehead, keeping an eye out for anyone and listening carefully for footsteps. 

“You’re so worrisome,” he sighs, caressing your back. “I was just trying to have a little fun with you.”

“Fuck off,” you murmur into his jacket. 

Your cheek presses against his bare pecs, and you find comfort in the warmth of his sun-kissed skin.

“Woah. You’re so mean. I just figured since you liked riding that bull so much, maybe you’d want to go for a real ride.”

Your head lifts and moves away from his chest so you can look at him. “What?”

“Oh, now I have your attention, hm?”

His smirk grows into a smile and reveals his mouthpiece. It shines even brighter when he takes off his hat and places it on your head. Johnny gestures towards his trailer and winks at you.

“Let’s get it, cowgirl.”

Seated on Johnny’s lap, your hand grasps the gold links around his neck while you grind against him. Both of you panting and sweating, the world doesn’t even exist at this moment.

“So good for me,” he growls. “How am I supposed to leave you alone?”

His nails dig into your flesh as he holds your globes within his grasp, wanting to be as close to you as he physically can.

“You don’t. Problem solved.”

You start to move more swiftly, feeling a familiar sensation creeping inside your gut. Johnny’s dick enters your womb each time you land on his hips, leaving you gasping and moaning louder than you should be.

“Yeah? So that means you’re mine, right?”

“Fuck. Johnny.”

The way his lips curl into a grin when you cry his name leaves you shivering and begging him.

For what, is unclear to you, but all you know is that you want him badly.

“Yeah, you’re mine,” he states confidently. “Open your mouth.”

He’s right about that. You are.

Whatever he wants, he gets it—because he never holds back when pleasing you.

Your lips part enough for you to stick out your tongue. He wastes no time shoving his fingers deep inside and spitting into your crevice. Two of his digits push his saliva deep into your throat, making you gag around them. You stare at him through your watery eyes, your damp lashes, and fresh tears blurring your vision. However, you can still make out the pleased expression on his face.

You purposely clench around him, and his hips buck off the couch. Johnny then grabs your waist, halting your movements while he speaks.

“I see how you wanna play. Turn around.” You lift yourself slightly, keeping him inside while you turn in the opposite direction. As you find the right position, Johnny slaps your ass, making you squeak in surprise. He kneads the flesh tenderly, giving it a firm but gentle squeeze of appreciation. “Let’s see how long you can stay on this ride.”

As soon as you start to ride his cock, Johnny begins to thrust into you, nearly bouncing you off of his lap. His toned thighs make it difficult for you to control the pace, but with a hand holding onto his leg, you’re saved from falling on the floor. 

Once you’ve gotten accustomed to the way he’s slamming into you, you’re able to regain control. You arch your back and place your free hand on top of his hat sitting on your head. The sounds that begin to leave your lips become feral, and you can hear Johnny’s grunts turn into moans and gasps. He’s close, and so are you. You decide to make the last seconds count.

“You feel so good,” you purr. “Do I feel good, Johnny?”

He throws back his head and whispers a few expletives. 

“You feel like heaven, baby. You already know.”

You whimper in response, his deep voice soothing to your ears.

“So wet, so tight. You know how much I love this pussy.”

“Fuck!”

“What’s wrong? Need to come?” he quizzes. 

“Can I? Please.”

Your raspy cries fill the room just like the lewd noises produced by your arousal squelching between your thighs. Johnny ceases his movements and allows you to chase your own release while he watches in awe. He holds your waist to support you and guide you because your body is moving faster than your mind can keep up with.

“Get you one, cowgirl. You deserve it.”

When those words leave his lips, your sense of reality disappears. Everything grows white, and you have no control over your body. Your orgasm takes your breath away, leaving you struggling to catch your breath. A shockwave ripples through you, and the sensation is intoxicating. 

You can hear Johnny’s groans as he tries to hold on, but the warm feeling of your walls pulsing around his cock is almost unbearable. His cock twitches inside of you as you ride out your high, but he hangs on until you’re flopping forward on your face.

Johnny quickly gets up, and removes the condom, so he can shoot his load all over your ass. Hot ropes of his cum paint your skin, but you’re too out of it to complain about being sticky.

“Are you okay, baby?”

You sigh. “I am.”

“Alright, well you should probably–”

Johnny's phone rings, and he walks across the room to check it. He answers it and puts it on speaker, so you assume it’s important.

“Yeah?”

Fuck. It’s your assistant looking for you. 

“She’s in my trailer,” Johnny explains.

You immediately sit up and look at him with wide eyes. Why would he say that?

“She’s embarrassed because she got sick from that bull ride. You’ll have to take lunch without her.”

You exhale and relax your body, sinking into the couch.

“That was too close,” you whisper.

Johnny throws you a wink, and you respond with a small smile. They’d probably have a million questions had he not thought of that response so quickly.

“Yeah, she’s going to get back to the hotel in the sprinter with me, but I’ll make sure she’s okay.”

When the call ends, Johnny joins you on the couch. He wipes the cum off of your skin and tosses the shirt on the floor before he speaks.

“So,” he begins. You turn so you can see his face. “We have the rest of the day together. What are we doing?”

You shrug.

“I don’t know. Maybe we can…”

You grab his arm and pull him on top of you. Your lips graze his ear, and he shudders.

“What are you thinking?” he asks.

Smirking, your fingers dance up his biceps.

“Maybe we can take a nap?”

“Now, that’s hot.”

“I know, right?” you giggle.

When silence takes over, you play in Johnny’s hair as he hums.

“You think they’ll notice if that hat goes missing?”

His question makes you roll your eyes. 

“I fucking hate you sometimes,” you respond. “But, no. They have several because they know how you are.”

You return to twirling his strands between your fingers, enjoying the post-orgasm quality time until he ruins it once again.

“Good. I wonder if it’ll stay on while I’m fucking you from the back.”

Honestly, as long as he shows you what other trick he’s learned with that rope, he can do anything he wants with you.

how does their sex life change throughout lin's pregnancies?

Love this question~!

Overall, Lin's libido increases significantly during all of her pregnancies. She and Tenzin have always had an active sex life, but it's just skyrocketed every time she's growing a baby (or babies).

Naturally, they learn the most in the first pregnancy. Tenzin is scared that he'll hurt Lin or baby, but Lin needs to feel his dick ready to split her in half despite a baby being inside her. They've bickered/argued about how intensely he can fuck her during pregnancy and it ends with Lin riding him and taking control to shut him up. Until Tenzin is annoyed that she's getting her way and he ends up on top or behind her to show her that he's in control.

Lin is also more experimental with positions during pregnancy and Tenzin is like "No, I will not fuck you while you do a handstand at 29 weeks." They have to compromise on what kind of positions they can try. Lin learns that she uses up more energy too and can't last long in very flexible positions.

Both of them get easily turned on when she's pregnant. Tenzin is primal knowing that he put his baby in Lin and watching her body go through all the changes gets him harder than he thought possible. Lin is simply insatiable and Tenzin finds it a little hard to keep up with her libido. They do so many rounds and his dick and balls are so sensitive. Lin is sucking, riding, fucking, and snatching his soul. Bumi ends up asking him what's wrong with his face bc he started looking like this:

He had to fuck her almost nonstop all week, and Lin still wanted more. Bumi wasn't sure if Tenzin was even alive at this point.

The one benefit of pregnancy sex: unlimited creampies. Yep, we all thinking it.

The twin pregnancy though, Lin still had a pretty high sex libido. But because her belly is much bigger, she would get more exhausted and uncomfortable. So she and Tenzin had to find and explore different positions that worked for them.

Bonus: the twins were a week overdue and Linzin were fucking so often to induce labor.

Astro Observation: If you have a Mars in:

-Pisces

-In Venusian signs: Taurus and Libra

-The 12th house

-In a Pisces degree (12°, 24°)

-In the 4th house

-In Cancer

-In Cancerian degrees (4°, 16°)

-In aspect to Moon, Neptune, or Venus

-Consider incorporating a lot of yoga, pilates , or barre in your workout routine. Mars rules over exercise, but Neptune, the Moon, and Venus are not the ones for harsh exercise (or harshness in general). After years of on and off working out, I realized yoga & pilates were the kinds of workouts I could continuously do and increasingly advance in. I never gave up on those kinds of workouts because it felt more natural to my body.

-I also believe that since these placements are mostly intuitive, spiritual signs, what better way to be healthy than to do a routine that is not only is healthy but is known to spiritually ground you (ex: Yoga). I would also throw Taurus in here because they are also in tune with nature, but ofc on a more physical aspect. Still, exercise is physical.

-Mars in Libra would really benefit from having a workout buddy or a personal trainer 🏋🏾‍♀️!

-And btw, yoga and pilates are not “easy” at all. It’s an amazing way to build, tone, and strengthen your body. Until you can do a handstand without the wall, you don’t need to hate on anyone’s workouts. Just a quick note. 🤣

Staying Awake!

The name can be misleading. It sounds like being aware of your environment but no. This post is literally about staying awake. Obviously not during the day but at night.

Let's say you have a lot of work to do and you want to stay awake all night but it is really hard for you even with coffee.(You will be very happy to know that there are ways to stay awake without coffee and even better ways.) You might deduce that I am writing this post while trying to stay awake all night and yes, you are right. Let's see what we can do for long night study sessions.

Coffee is one of the best drinks for a lot of people. It can help you stay awake and be more focused. But if you use it wrong, it can cause even more sleep and you would just consume coffee for the sake of consuming. Let's see some ways to use coffee.(Or any drink that has caffeine.)

1-How to Use Caffeine

First, we have to understand how it works. Normally, when you don't ingest caffeine and stay awake for long hours, adenosine will interact with receptors in your brain and make you sleepy. So, if you want to block adenosine and stay awake for long hours, you would ingest caffeine and that way adenosine won't interact with receptors. But after caffeine starts to decrease, adenosine will come at once and it will make you sleepy very fast. Especially if you ingest caffeine after you wake up. So, what can we do about that?

Don't ingest caffeine in the first 90-120 minutes after waking up. This will help you to avoid afternoon crashes and you will get more benefits from caffeine. Also, if you use it frequently caffeine won't be able to block adenosine so, you would just ingest caffeine and wouldn't get any benefits. For that, you can take a nap in the afternoon and then ingest caffeine.

2-Movement

If you just sit all night and try to stay awake, that would be very hard because your body wouldn't get any signal to stay awake. You have to move regularly, even if it just means you take a 5-minute walk. Walk, run, do some push-ups, boxing etc. Just move. You will be more energetic and focused.

3-Handstand

I would like to write it separately because it is an amazing tool. You can do it on the wall or free. It increases the blood flow to your brain and that way all of the blood on your legs from sitting for long hours spreads through your body. Eventually, it increases focus, energy and overall mood. Give it a try when you feel sleepy and you will see the power.

4-Do not eat too much

If you eat too much, your body creates signals for sleeping and it becomes very hard for you to stay awake. If you have to eat, choose some snacks rather than a whole meal. Fruits and protein bars are very effective choices. They also consist of healthy sugar so your brain will get some glycogen and work more efficiently.

5-Taking Breaks

If you feel tired after working for so long, take some breaks. But be careful when you lie down because you can fall asleep. To avoid that, before lying down, do some exercise and use alarms. Your purpose is not to take a nap but rather to rest your brain, eyes, ears and other body parts you have at your disposal.

There are a lot of amazing tools you can use but to keep it short, I will share them in separate posts. Try these and see how it goes. If you have any questions, send them. For now, that's all. See you.

Scp au brain drabble ftw

No idea if or where the others would fit into this yet

Vio's been in the facility since he was very small (maybe HE'S an SCP??) Very smart retains info like a sponge. Aptitude for biological anomalies and chemical make up DNA ECT. He could recite chemical formulas like a textbook.

Shadow is very very very old. From imprisoning war old (current era after totk kinda? Idk def high tech enough to run these sort of facilities) deals with it by being childish/impish. When alone with Vio shows his more mature side rarely. Usually a few hours deep into co research and development.

049 ish. Instead of a zombie virus he spreads malice by touch, can use shadows around him ECT. Is there willingly. Mutual benefits. He gets to live, has a mostly safe environment where he can't accidentally cause an apocalypse, and gets unrestricted access to whatever research regarding malice he wants or needs. (Test subjects of criminals on death row situation, not that that occurs very often)

Vio has been in contact with him since he started there but has always clicked with him. Shadow v fond of the little "hylian" (again, possibly an SCP idk yet). Flirts constantly. Sometimes in an ancient language Vio is obsessed with cracking (lorulian p much)

If Vio ever figures out what he's actually saying he would die of embarrassment. It's actually very cliche and romantic. Vio tends to get the gist of his tone though.

(side note flirting obviously starts at an appropriate age this shit takes place when he's like mid 20s to 30s)

Basic structure of plot would be Vio was escorting Shadow (who he gets in trouble for naming Shadow instead of his SCP number constantly) to some kind of lab? Testing chambers? And they're going over the sky walks when a breach occurs and shakes the whole ass building. Shadow (maybe doing smth stupid to show off? Balancing on the rails, handstand near the edge, whatever)

He falls and out of pure instinct Vio grabs him bare handed like touching his bare skin on his arms to haul him back up.

Shadow is freaking the fuck out because 1: just saved his life and 2: just touched him! Bare handed! No gloves!

And Vio's fine. Totally panicking right now but fine.

He's put into quarantine with Shadow for 2 weeks in his room to see if anything changes. Shadow touches him like hourly. Mans hasn't touched bare skin in decades. And never someone who stayed alive.

Cheek caress, face touch, checking his pulse, feeling his temp on the back of his neck and forehead. Literally any excuse to touch him. Obviously eventually a kiss too. (Maybe no cams allowed in his bed area?)

Idk if he would have an immunity to malice or is like an SCP type that malice would have no effect on?

That's all I have for now :3

[viktoriakomova]

I wish commentators would stop saying judges can’t see leg separations on bars (when the gymnast’s hips are parallel to the bar, particularly for handstands and shaps). I know the rules say the benefit of the doubt goes to the gymnast when judges can’t be 100% sure, but it’s also evident that ncaa judges arent taking some of the deductions that we know they can plainly see lmao

---- Summary ---

Officer Violet wishes to talk with Itadori after what she just learned. How would this go? While they talked, Megumi and Kisho have the cell to themselves so how are they're going to spend their night without Itadori? Also, Kinie Ger is now eating dinner with Sukuna. Meanwhile...Oblivion goes to call in a favor to find more about Yuuka.

How would everyone's night turn out?

-----

Jinx thought of leaving Itadori alone. Maybe like two hours or maybe the night. An hour has been passed and it is still making her upset. She doesn't know why she's upset. But there's something about what Kisho and Megumi told her. She takes a water break and was now mulling over her thoughts. But now....she needs to say this. She has to or else...or else! Ugh! Time to go back and tell him!

Walking back to the cell where Itadori is being confined. She takes a breath and says her name.

"Itadori..."

"Hm?"

Itadori is in his cell while he is doing handstands inside his cell. Jinx gulps as she sees the back muscles, abs and alethic body with a light sheen of sweat.

Jinx takes a breath. You can do this, Jinx. You can do this.

"Yes? Officer Violet?" Itadori pauses on his handstand as he looks at her through the rectangular window.

"Why didn't you tell me that the other prisoner provoked you?" She asked.

"It doesn't excuse what I did," Yuji said simply as he continued his handstands before doing push-ups. Jinx sighed. "I know but he said other things that must of set you off. I'm going to be honest...but I don't take you for a person that goes off at every little thing like Bakugo does."

Itadori doesn't respond.

"Why did you help me back there?"

"Huh?" Itadori said as he was now sitting and was about to do crunches. Jinx reiterates, "You helped me fight against Akane and Snake Woman? Why? You could have left me and made a break for it. What's the reason?"

"There's no reason...I just do it because I felt like it." Itadori said. Jinx isn't convinced, "Is that all? So what you did at lunch is no reason for all?"

Feeling a bit frustrated, Itadori sighs. "Officer Violet, I did it because you were having trouble fighting against that lady, and her snake demon. And you were watching over me since you're in charge of me so you're just doing your job. It was the right thing to do."

"Right thing to do?" Jinx repeated. Itadori raises, "Yeah. I meant I say back there. To be honest, you got a good fighting style but you're having trouble so that's why. "

No response.

Itadori waited for a response but got nothing. This got him to raise a brow, "Officer Violet?"

Still no response.

"Jinx?" He said his first name. Then a sound is heard. The door begins to unlock and soon, Jinx opens it as the cap and hair hide her eyes as she begins to walk over to Itadori. Itadori is now standing tall as he looks over to her.

"Don't....lie to me." Jinx begins, "You did it because of me!" Jinx yelled, closing her fist. "Your friends told me why you did it! They said that one of the prisoners that if they win the fight, they're going to make you serve them and bring female guards, they even mentioned me by looks. You fought the Snake Devil because of me! Besides...why do all that! Especially after meeting your lawyer?! Especially pulling that on me!" Jinx said now upset.

"Why are you trying to say?!" Jinx said, "Besides...I'm strong enough! I am! So strong that I can even take what you give out? Like..like...the other night! So stop underestimating me, Yuji Itadori!" Jinx said as she looked red in the face.

As she said all this, she didn't even look up to Yuji Itadori until she felt a hand taking her cap off and patting her head. "I don't underestimate you. In fact, I kinda like you a lot seeing you fight. But I don't want to see you get hurt. It makes me not want to forgive you after talking how strong you were."

"Forgive me?! If anything, I should be forgiving you for what you just pulled on me, the other day!" Jinx puffed her cheeks. "And to tell you the truth! I won't forgive you for that at all!"

"The other day?" Yuji blinked before realizing blowing a raspberry, "Oh...is that when after you told me to go to jail? Even though...we're already in jail?" He said with a teasing smile.

Jinx's cheeks flushed red, hearing, "D-don't remind me, mister!" Jinx points at him. "I-I'm not dumb."

"I didn't say that nor thinking about that."

"And...and...I'm not weak enough to fall for your tricks!" Jinx exclaimed. Yuji raised a brow, "Tricks?"

"You know what I'm talking about Itadori Yuji!" Jinx yelled. "Where...you made me...you know!" Jinx yelled. Yuji hums as he gets it now. "Oh...Like this?" Just as quick as tiger, he goes to back Jinx into a corner with his hand trapping her hands above her and pinning her against the wall. Jinx is now screaming inside as she is in shock.

"H-hey! I don't mean like that!"

"And what do you mean?" Yuji asked. Jinx is biting back her cheek, "I-I won't lose! You heard me! Whatever you do to me, I won't give in! I s-swear it!"

"Really?" Yuji asked.

"Yes! I dare you to try! I won't lose!" Jinx said with full confidence. Yuji then smiled so mischievously that made Jinx shiver. "Alright then...let's see what you got."

---- In the other cells ----

"Nnhng...hey Megumi..."

"Hm?"

"Is Itadori going to be okay?" Kisho asked as he laid his head on his lap. Megumi answers, "Yeah. Itadori is going to be fine." He said, looking outside his cell. It was nighttime now.

"And w-what about Officer Violet?" Kisho asked. Megumi pats his head to assure, "She is going to be fine too. Besides Itadori likes her the moment he saw her. That's what I think."

"Really?" Kisho asked.

"Really." Megumi nods. Kisho utters a soft groan before he asks, "Okay..also....uh...one more thing"

"Hm?"

"C-can we take a break?" Kisho asked nervously as he looks to be flushed and is now shaking a bit. To which Megumi scowls and quickly smacks his butt making the other yelped.

"Like I said...your punishment is long overdue, Kisho." He said as he went to turn the dial up with the remote making Kisho gasp and shudder as the vibrator hits all the right spots in his ass. He can't help but moan. He was forced to sit up by Megumi as the shadow sorcerer goes to bite his neck making Kisho whimper.

"B-biut? But...you can't punish me for what I said to Officer Violet. She has to know that Itadori is a good person!" Kisho cried. Megumi sighs, "You don't think I know that?" He goes to pet Kisho's head. "I'm not upset with you trying to defend Itadori to Officer Violet and explained the situation to her."

"Huh? S-so...why?"

"That's why I said you're going to get a reward after your punishment." Megumi tells him, "Besides..you escaped your punishment because we were interrupted by that break-in. So I'm going to follow through." He said as he went to finger him, making Kisho moan softly. "Since Itadori isn't here, it means we got a lot of time on our hands. So let's take advantage of it." He smiles darkly.

"Hnngn..." Kisho said as Megumi continued to tease him by touch. He goes to rub his nipples while the dildo is in his butt, throbbing like non-stop. Kisho whines and moans as is slowly breaking down. "M-megumi!"

"Make sure to keep your legs apart," Megumi ordered. Kisho tries to move but it's getting hard since his arms are in cuffs and tied together. "Yes...yes..sir." Kisho said before his eyes are now being blindfolded. He whimpers as Megumi teases him further with a chuckle.

Tonight is going to be a long night...

Megumi wonders how Itadori and Officer Violet are doing right now. Probably still talking.

---- Itadori's Solidary Cell -----

"S-stop! Nuugh..."

Her and her big mouth. Why did she say that?! God! What made her do it!? She did want to prove that to Itadori that she won't lose to him and his tricks. Ugh! THis is so bad. So really bad.

"Didn't you said that you can withstand this, Officer Violet?"

"Y-yes!" Jinx squeaked. "But never like this!" She cried. Right now, Officer Violet is in a compromising position. She is hung over on Itadori's lap and her pants and panties are down to her knees. Her jacket is off and is on the floor, and only her black tee remains. Right now, Itadori is fingering her as she is over his lap like she is about to spank but she is getting weird sensations when Itadori is moving his fingers inside of her while sitting on the bed. As if he is searching for something..

"Ahnnn...nnhng...dannng it." Jinx grits her teeth as she doesn't want to look over her shoulder, she is looking down on the ground and clutching one of Itadori's thighs. These sensations feel so weird...why does it feel good but so weird?! She cannot explain but then...she lets out a loud pleasurable cry as Itadori rubs something inside of her.

"W-what?" Jinx's face blushes as she glances over her shoulder. Itadori chuckles, "It looks like I found your sweet spot, little kitty cat." He smiles as he goes to curl his fingers inside of her making her cry out. "AHH!" She goes to her legs but Itadori makes sure to keep still.

"Now, now. No need for that." Itadori scolds her. "Now let me make you feel good."

"H-how is this good..aahh.." Jinx replied before she arches her back, unwittingly moan out loud. Itadori does it again and now he goes to quicken his fingers making Jinx's eyes widen. "Ah! W-wait! S-slow down! You're going to....aahh..nugh! AH!"

Then Jinx came all over Itadori's clothed pants as fluids came out. Itadori smiles, "You came. Not bad."

Jinx is gasping and panting as she has tears in her eyes, "T-this doesn't count.." She said.

"Oh. It doesn't?" Itadori replies, "Okay...let's try this." He goes to change Jinx's position from her lap and lays her on the bed on her back with her legs spread. She felt incoming heat between her thighs. "Wait..wait...wait! What are you about to do?"Jinx looks anxious but deep down, unknownst to her. A bit excited. She sees Itadori holding her legs apart as he goes to lower his head between them. What is he going to do?!

"Oh...this." And right away, Jinx felt a hot muscle at her folds, licking and sucking. "AAAHH! I-Itadori!" Jinx arches her back as she grips the sheets tightly as she feels it. Her reddish dark bangs cover her eyes that are widen and her pupils shudder at the pleasure she's getting. With her mouth open, revealing her canine teeth. A long string of moans came from her mouth.

This sensation makes her moan and cry as Itadori is....eating her. With his tongue? God...is he really eating her?! He is really a wild tiger! He's so crazy for doing this. So strong that he holds her apart in a tight grip while he continues to eat her like this.

Itadori is slurping and licking at her folds with his tongue. The sweet aroma from her clit is so addictive he can't get enough of it.

Tears form at the corner of Jinx's eyes as she feels a great sensation. A pleasurable one that is so good that made her moan so much, she couldn't stop herself.

Jinx doesn't think she would last any longer.

----- Somewhere...in the city ----

Warden Kinie Ger never thought she would be invited to someone else over dinner. This is so weird. She never experienced this before. Sure, she goes on dinners with friends but not alone and with the opposite sex.

This is so strange.

Why is Sukuna Ryomen interested in her?

"Is the food to your liking?" His voice got her to lift her head.

"Yes. The food is really good, Mr. Ryomen." The dish is better than good. It's amazing. Amazing than what she cooks. The dish is flank steak with roasted potatoes with herbs with the wine she brought.

She wonders if the gift she handed over to him subpar. She wonders if what she wears is appropriate. It was a sleeveless black blouse with a bow on it with short pants dark leggings and plaid soles. It was a bit chilly. Plus it was modest and elegant.

"Good to hear." Sukuna said as he wondered what she was thinking. She looks to be... hesitant. Is he coming too forward? No, she must be settling in after seeing the sort of place he's living for the time being. As if she is very careful about where to sit and keeps her hands to herself.

"Now, now. No need to be uptight. Just relax. It's not like I bite."

Kinie Ger gives him a look, "Rest assured. It's not that. I'm not nervous around you if that's what you ask." She said. She wonders if this is a good time to talk to him. What to talk about? Should she asking some questions, but what questions? How can she ask a question without sounding too personal like family or work? Kinie can guess what sort of work that Ryomen does. Still...there is one.

"Tell me...are you offering this deal for the sake of Itadori?" She asked. "Truthfully, it's understandable. Because it seems like the Six Claws shows us that their enemies would be willing to break in."

"Correct." Sukuna smiles, "Very perceptive."

"I mean...it isn't that impressive.. " Kinie said, before sipping her wine a bit. Just a bit. She doesn't like wine but she will tolerate for the sake of her host.

"Still. Most people don't get and would refuse but you on the other hand think hard on this and that break-in just gives you a reason to go with this idea." Said Sukuna. "By the way...why you didn't suspect me behind the break-in?"

"Huh?" Kinie blinks. "Why would I? That would be against your plan? Why the reason to bring the lawyer along? It doesn't make sense and a break-in could leave things messy and loose ends. That said...you're the kind of person who seems confident in winning a legal battle. "

"Correct." Sukuna smiles.

KInie narrows her eyes at this. "Are you trying to test me to see how smart I am?"

"No. Just curious. Besides..you have already proven yourself. After all, why did you hire those officers from those different precincts? When I heard about who is looking after the Six Claws and my brother." He said. "It's surprising but it makes sense. Officer Vanguard is a good-hearted and her.....special way of handling prisons is quite something. Something that Six Claws were trying to figure out. Officer Violet is a good match-up as she is good at combat. While the third one, Officer Vin Shia makes sure to keep everything in order given those two's personalities."

Kinie blinks before sighing, "You know me too well, Ryomen." She said with a small smile. Speaking of which how is Officer Violet doing with Itadori. Unlike the Six Claws, it seems like Itadori is an easy mission to handle.

----- Back at prison ----

"AAH!" She climaxes again. Jinx falls onto the bed as she is gripping the pillow close to her face while covering her face with an arm. She looks to the ceiling with half-lidded eyes as they are now glowing yellow-red. Then she felt the hot muscle coming back at her folds.

"S-stop! Stop! I had enouggh!" Jinx pleaded with her eyes closed after she came three times due to Itadori's tongue. She has been panting and gasping npn-stop ever since she came. Itadori sits up as he licks her essence on his lips, "What's wrong? Don't tell you're giving up now, officer." He teased.

"Hnnng..." Her eyes are closed as her legs are trembling.

"Unless..." Itadori's tone changes to a low tone, almost like a growl, "You want me inside of you. Don't you?" This made her yelp as she went to open her eyes to see the tiger now up close.

"I-I..."

"Don't worry...I make sure to feel you good like I said. But first..." Itadori proceeds to take her top before turning her on her stomach. He rolls her shirt up, revealing a pink bra before he proceeds to unhook her bra.

"Wait...w-what are you?" Jinx looks nervous now.

"It will get uncomfortable and it will get a little sweaty in here so~" He goes to touch Jinx's breasts making her yelp and Itadori goes to fondle. Jinx gasps as she can't believe these strong hands are on her bare boobs. Jinx whines and moans at his touch while Itadori puts her bra and top right next to her.

"There we go. Good, right?"

"Um...err..." Jinx doesn't know what to say. Then she cry when she felt him pull her nipples gently. She goes to move her legs but she can't move as Itadori pins her down with his weight against her. "Don't worry, I got you." He whispered to her ear making her tremble. His touch and voice weakened her ever before. "J-just get to it already!" Jinx cried.

"Get to what?" Itadori plays dumb.

"T-the...the...main event!" Jinx cried, clutching her sheets as Yuji keeps on playing with her boobs and nipples.

"Main event?" Itadori goes to nip at her neck, making her whine. "Y-you know what I mean, Y-yuji!" She said.

"You mean this?" Yuji asked. Jinx felt something big at her behind, making her blush. Eh?! Hold on...is that?

Jinx widens her eyes, her lip trembling. "Is that what I think?"

"Yeah, it is." Itadori said.

It's so big. Is he really going to put that inside of her? She might break. Oh god. She will break! Jinx decides to change her mind, "Wait...a second. How about we-"

"Sorry. No time to hold back now. Besides...that would mean you're giving up, right?"

"I-I-I-I..." Jinx winced as she felt Itadori's hard length now sliding between her folds. "Nugh! Wait...wait...wait!"

"Relax. Just relax. I will be gentle,." He tells her gently, he goes to caress her one of her breasts and continues to nip and kiss at her neck. The touches are so distracting that Jinx doesn't notice until Yuji begins to inch his way inside of her. Jinx is whimpering as she closes her eyes tightly. Then she felt lips on hers. Jinx widened her eyes at this before closing them as the kiss became deep. She moans into the kiss as she does not realize that Yuji is now inside and snaps his hips and is now into her, making her moan loudly.

Yuji breaks the kiss and pants. Jinx pants. "Ah...ha...ha.." While Yuji calms her with sweet words that are working. "Y-yuji!" She said his name without thinking. After letting her adjusted to his size, Yuji thrusts inside of her, slowly and deeper. Jinx moans. Yuji groans.

"Ah...ha...ah..so-so big!" Jinx moaned. She never thought something like this would happen. It's so good. Yuji goes to fondle her breast as he kisses her neck some more as he continues his deep thrusts. Jinx moans.

"That's right. Let it all out, Jinx." He said her name in a way. Jinx whines, she can't control her moans because of him. "Ahhh...uhhh...huh..ha..ha..." She utters.

'How can this? This is so good. So very good? Is that what it is, the other two nights?! F-fuck. This is so good. Wait...no...wasn't this supposed to be a challenge she was supposed to win? Ack! How does he do it?! Oh god....is it so big and strong! I can't....

"Y-yuji!" Jinx said his name. Hearing his name like that from the Hellcat made Yuji growl and start to quicken his thrusts. "W-wait! Hold on! S-slow down!" Jinx yelled, "Ahhh!" She felt him hit that nub, over and over again. She clutches her sheets.

"W-wait! Something is happening! I felt like I'm going to b-blow up!?"

"That's you coming again," Yuji assures her. "Go ahead...do it." He said. Jinx bit her bottom lip. No! She can't! Not again. However...

"If you don't...I will keep going and going till you lose it, Jinx." He growls into her ear. That domineering tone gives her goosebumps with her hair standing up like a cat. Jinx's moans increased in volume. Yuji keeps going and going, non-stop making the bed creak and Jinx's toes curl.

To make sure Jinx comes again, Yuji goes to change the positions as she is now laying her back on Yuji's chest. Both of her breasts are being grabbed and are being moved in a circular motion while Yuji thrusts up in a jackhammering motion. Jinx lets out lustful cries.

"That's it. Savor it, Jinx. Let go." Yuji growled, panting. Jinx shut her eyes tightly as she lets out more moans. She can't move her legs because she is pounded without mercy.

My head. I can't think anymore. This is so good! So very good. I-I can't....wait..something is coming. It's coming! It's coming! It's Coming!

"YUJI! F-FUCK! YUJI! " Jinx calls out his name as she cums on his cock. Yuji groans as he feels Jinx's warm essence on his girth. Jinx collapses on him as she breathes against his neck. Yuji goes to kiss her once. Jinx lets out a weak moan into the kiss. The kiss became heated and deep now as Yuji snaked his arm around her waist and kept her like this close to his body.

"So...what do you think?" Yuji asked, breaking the kiss.

"Ah...ha...I....I...nnugh" Jinx has no words as she looks dazed and now out of it. Yuji chuckles at her reaction. "Anyway! Want to go again?"

"Eh?" Jinx blinked as she looks at Yuji in disbelief. "B-but we..."

"I have a lot of stamina so I can't wait to go again!" Yuji smiles. "I think I can keep up with a demon like yourself." He said before snapping his hips upwards into her, getting a moan out of her.

"Y-YujI!" Jinx cried.

"After all...we're just getting started." Said Yuji, making Jinx moans as Yuji starts the second round. How long would Jinx last?

------ Oblivion's office -----

"Ugh..." Oblivion runs her face with her hand as she cannot believe. At this point, if they give her any more shots after that. She is going to do something about it. This is not good.

After talking to Ophelia, she needs to find out about Yuuka. She needs information. Maybe there's a person to call about this. She goes to dial the number on her cell and waits for the other to pick up.

"Hello?"

"S-Shdwkyz." She said his name. "I need your help. I need your help into looking someone."

"It sounds serious. How can I help?"

"I need your help on getting information about Yuuka Nanako." He said.

To be continued...

Wei WuXian was also shocked. He turned to Lan WangJi, “Your sect makes disciples do handstands while copying? That’s awful.”

Lan WangJi replied calmly, “There would always be someone who did not learn their lessons by simply copying the sect rules. Handstands not only guaranteed better performance in the future but also benefited cultivation.”

my man was such a menace they changed the sects punishments to make sure they didn't produce another one like him

CAMBRIDGE, MA — In what researchers are calling a "revolutionary breakthrough" in nutritional science, a new study from the Institute of Positional Nutrition and Confectionery Studies (IPNCS) suggests that eating chocolate while lying down could extend human lifespan by up to 7.3 years, provided consumers maintain a precise 42-degree angle and face magnetic north. The groundbreaking research, conducted over what lead scientist Dr. Theobroma Cacao describes as "an extremely thorough long weekend," followed 12 participants as they consumed various chocolate products in different positions. "Our findings are absolutely conclusive," said Dr. Cacao, while reclining on a specialized chocolate-consumption lounger. "The horizontal ingestion of cocoa-based products creates a gravitational enhancement of flavonoids that's simply impossible to achieve while vertical." The study's control group, who were required to eat chocolate while doing handstands, reportedly experienced no life-extension benefits and several minor concussions. Dr. Miranda Mars, the team's senior researcher in Positional Confectionery Dynamics, explained the science behind the discovery. "When you eat chocolate standing up, the flavonoids have to fight gravity to reach your vital organs," she stated, gesturing to a wall of incomprehensible graphs. "By lying down, you're creating what we call a 'horizontal chocolate absorption vector,' which allows the antioxidants to simply drift sideways into your system, like a delicious lazy river of life extension." The chocolate industry has rushed to capitalize on these findings. Local entrepreneur Sarah Chen has already opened "Horizontal Haven," Boston's first chocolate café where customers eat while lying on medical-grade recliners. "We're booked solid through 2025," Chen reported from her own recliner. "We even have a waiting list for our waiting room beds." The study has sparked a wave of lifestyle changes across the country. Timothy Wright, a 34-year-old software developer, has converted his entire home office into what he calls a "chocolate consumption station." "I've installed a pulley system that delivers chocolate directly to my mouth while I work," Wright explained. "My productivity is down 80%, but according to these calculations, I'll live to be 147." Not everyone is convinced. Dr. Sarah Thompson, a skeptical nutritionist at Harvard Medical School, attempted to raise questions about the study's methodology but was quickly drowned out by the sound of thousands of chocolate bars being unwrapped horizontally. The research team did acknowledge some limitations to their study, particularly that the entire experiment was conducted during a power outage when the lab's lighting and vertical-support infrastructure were compromised. They also disclosed that the study was jointly funded by the Association of Mattress Manufacturers and an anonymous donor who signed their name in what appeared to be chocolate syrup. "We may have gotten a little carried away with the graphs," admitted junior researcher Dr. Kevin Mills, pointing to a chocolate-smeared chart titled "Correlation Between Horizontal Chocolate Consumption and Immortality Potential." "But you can't argue with science, especially when you're too comfortable to stand up." The team is already planning follow-up studies, including an investigation into whether eating ice cream upside down can reverse the aging process, and if consuming pizza while doing cartwheels improves cardiac health. For optimal results, researchers recommend following their "H.O.R.I.Z.O.N.T.A.L." protocol: Hold chocolate at exactly 42 degrees, Orient toward magnetic north, Recline fully, Ignore skeptics, Zealously consume, Order more chocolate, Never stand up, Take careful notes, Adjust position as needed, and Lie down even when not eating chocolate. The study concludes with a stern warning about the dangers of vertical chocolate consumption, including but not limited to: decreased lifespan, temporary

loss of chocolate appreciation abilities, and what researchers cryptically refer to as "anti-gravitational flavor displacement syndrome." When asked for additional comment, Dr. Cacao was unavailable, having apparently dozed off on his research recliner, surrounded by empty chocolate wrappers and grant proposals.

Expert Advice on Pregnancy Inversions: What Yoga Instructors Want You to Know

Pregnancy is a time of immense change physically, mentally, and emotionally. Many expecting mothers turn to yoga to stay active, reduce stress, and connect with their bodies. While yoga is known for its calming and strengthening effects, certain poses, such as inversions, can cause concern, especially for pregnant women.

Inversions, which involve positioning the heart above the head, offer numerous benefits for flexibility, balance, and blood circulation.

What Are Inversions?

In yoga, inversions refer to any pose where the heart is above the head. Some common examples include Downward Dog, Legs-Up-the-Wall, Shoulder Stand, and Headstand. These poses can range from gentle to advanced and have varying levels of intensity. During pregnancy, the safety of practicing inversions largely depends on your experience with yoga and the specific stage of pregnancy.

Is It Safe to Practice Inversions During Pregnancy?

The big question many pregnant women ask is whether inversions are safe during pregnancy. According to prenatal yoga instructors, the answer depends on a few key factors: your familiarity with the pose, your physical condition, and how your body feels.

If you’re new to yoga: 

Inversions should generally be avoided unless they are modified to be gentle and supported. Starting a yoga practice during pregnancy can be beneficial, but more advanced poses like headstands may not be suitable for beginners.

If you’ve practiced inversions pre-pregnancy:

Women who are experienced with inversions and feel confident can continue to practice, but should do so with caution and modifications. Yoga instructor Emily Clarke, who specializes in prenatal yoga, advises,  If inversions have been part of your regular practice, you can continue them as long as you feel stable and supported, but listen to your body.

Benefits of Gentle Inversions in Pregnancy

There are some potential benefits to incorporating inversions during pregnancy, especially in the earlier trimesters:

1. Improved Circulation 

 Inversions can help boost circulation, particularly to the lower body, which can alleviate swelling and reduce pressure on the legs.

2. Relief from Back Pain

Gentle inversions, such as Downward Dog, can provide relief from lower back discomfort by stretching and decompressing the spine.

3. Enhanced Relaxation

Certain inversions, like Legs-Up-the-Wall, are deeply calming and can help relieve stress, reduce anxiety, and promote relaxation.

4. Support for Baby’s positioning

   Some experts suggest that gentle inversions may encourage optimal fetal positioning by creating space for the baby to move.

Expert Tips for Practicing Inversions during Pregnancy

If you’re considering practicing inversions while pregnant, here are some expert-backed tips to help ensure a safe and comfortable experience:

1. Modify and Use Support

   During pregnancy, balance and stability may be affected. Instructors recommend modifying poses and using props like walls, bolsters, or chairs to prevent strain. For instance, a supported Shoulder Stand or using a wall for balance in Downward Dog can make inversions more accessible.

2. Avoid Strenuous Inversions 

 While it may be tempting to continue advanced poses like handstands, it’s best to avoid them in pregnancy due to the increased risk of falling. Gentle inversions, like Legs-Up-the-Wall or supported Bridge Pose, are safer and still offer the benefits of reversing blood flow.

3. Pay Attention to Your Body

   The most important advice yoga instructors give is to listen to your body. Pregnancy is a time of change, and what worked for you pre-pregnancy may no longer feel comfortable. If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or off-balance, stop the inversion and focus on more grounded poses.

4. Practice in the First and Second Trimesters 

   According to most yoga instructors, inversions are safer in the first two trimesters, when the belly is smaller, and balance is easier to maintain. By the third trimester, many women choose to forgo inversions due to increased discomfort and the risk of falling.

Safe Alternatives to Inversions

If inversions don’t feel right for you, or if your healthcare provider advises against them, there are plenty of alternatives that offer similar benefits:

- Cat-Cow Stretch: A gentle spinal movement that improves flexibility and relieves back pain.

- Bridge Pose (with support): A mild inversion that helps open the chest and hips without putting too much pressure on the abdomen.

Conclusion: Balance and Caution Are Key

Inversions can be a valuable part of a prenatal yoga practice, but they require extra care and consideration during pregnancy. Experienced yoga instructors emphasize the importance of listening to your body, modifying poses, and avoiding anything that feels uncomfortable or unsafe.

Ultimately, the goal of pregnancy yoga is to nurture both your body and your growing baby, so focus on what feels good, stay safe, and enjoy the journey.

How Yoga Affects Your Mental Health: A Holistic Approach

At Maa Shakti Yog Bali, a renowned Yoga Teacher Training School in Ubud, Bali, we emphasize the profound impact yoga has on both the body and the mind. While many people come to yoga for its physical benefits—flexibility, strength, and balance—the mental health benefits of yoga are equally, if not more, transformative. In this blog, we explore how yoga positively influences your mental well-being and how this ancient practice offers a holistic approach to managing modern stressors.

The Science Behind Yoga and Mental Health

Yoga is more than just a physical exercise; it is a practice that connects mind, body, and spirit. By integrating mindful breathing (Pranayama), postures (Asanas), and meditation (Dhyana), yoga helps cultivate a sense of balance and harmony. But what exactly happens in your brain when you practice yoga?

Research shows that yoga increases levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter associated with reducing anxiety and improving mood. In addition, yoga can reduce cortisol levels—the hormone responsible for stress—making it a powerful tool for stress management.

1. Reducing Stress and Anxiety

Modern life can often leave us feeling overwhelmed. Yoga’s focus on deep, mindful breathing and intentional movement helps calm the nervous system, shifting the body from a "fight-or-flight" response to a "rest-and-digest" state. At Maa Shakti Yog Bali, our instructors emphasize the importance of deep breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) and Ujjayi (victorious breath), which are especially effective in calming the mind and reducing anxiety.

Yoga also encourages mindfulness, which brings your attention to the present moment, allowing you to let go of worries about the past or future. This practice of staying present can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and help manage chronic stress.

2. Alleviating Depression

Yoga has been shown to boost serotonin production, which is often referred to as the "feel-good" hormone. Serotonin levels are typically lower in people who experience depression, so incorporating yoga into your daily routine can help uplift your mood.

At Maa Shakti Yog Bali, we incorporate heart-opening poses like Ustrasana (Camel Pose) and Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) into our classes. These postures are known to enhance feelings of well-being, release emotional blockages, and invite a sense of lightness and positivity into your life.

3. Improving Sleep Quality

Insomnia and poor sleep quality are often linked to stress, anxiety, and depression. By engaging in a regular yoga practice, particularly with relaxing poses such as Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose) or Balasana (Child's Pose), you can promote better sleep. These poses relax the nervous system and prepare the body for deep rest.

Our teachers at Maa Shakti Yog Bali encourage a bedtime routine that includes gentle yoga and Pranayama to ease you into a state of relaxation, ultimately improving your sleep patterns.

4. Enhancing Emotional Resilience

Life is full of challenges, but practicing yoga equips you with the mental resilience needed to face those challenges with grace and strength. Through regular practice, yoga teaches you to cultivate patience, self-compassion, and acceptance. You learn to embrace discomfort, both on and off the mat, making it easier to handle emotional ups and downs.

Poses like Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose) and Adho Mukha Vrksasana (Handstand) are not only physically demanding but also mentally challenging. As you overcome the physical difficulty, you also strengthen your mind’s ability to persevere in the face of adversity.

5. Building Self-Awareness and Mindfulness

Self-awareness is one of the core aspects of mental well-being, and yoga helps foster this quality. Through consistent practice, you become more attuned to your body and emotions, learning to recognize the early signs of stress, anxiety, or negative thought patterns.

At Maa Shakti Yog Bali, we guide our students in cultivating mindfulness both on and off the mat. This increased self-awareness can help you respond more effectively to life’s challenges, making you less likely to be reactive or overwhelmed by emotions.

6. Cultivating a Sense of Community

Yoga also has the power to foster connection and belonging. In our teacher training programs at Maa Shakti Yog Bali, we emphasize the importance of Sangha, or community. Practicing yoga in a group setting not only deepens your practice but also creates a support system where you can share experiences, challenges, and triumphs. The sense of community helps combat feelings of isolation, which are often linked to mental health struggles.

The Holistic Power of Yoga

At its core, yoga is a holistic practice that treats the individual as a whole—body, mind, and spirit.

"Yoga Poses to Avoid During Pregnancy: Essential Guidelines for Expecting Moms"

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey filled with excitement and anticipation, but it also comes with its unique set of challenges. Many expecting mothers turn to yoga as a way to enhance their well-being, reduce stress, and prepare for childbirth. While yoga can be incredibly beneficial during pregnancy, it’s essential to be mindful of certain poses that may pose risks to both the mother and the developing baby. Here’s a guide to help you navigate your yoga practice safely.

Understanding the Changes

During pregnancy, your body undergoes significant changes, including hormonal fluctuations, shifts in balance, and increased joint laxity. These changes can affect your stability and flexibility, making it crucial to adapt your yoga practice accordingly. Certain poses that were once comfortable may become unsafe as your pregnancy progresses.

Poses to Avoid

Deep Twists: Poses that require deep twisting, such as Revolved Triangle or Twisted Chair, can put pressure on the abdomen and restrict blood flow to the uterus. Instead, opt for gentle seated twists that allow for a softer movement.

Inversions: While some practitioners may feel comfortable with inversions like Headstand or Handstand, these poses can disrupt balance and increase the risk of falling. Focus on grounding poses that keep you connected to the earth.

Backbends: Intense backbends, such as Wheel or Camel pose, can overstretch the abdominal muscles and lower back. Consider gentler alternatives like Cat-Cow or Child’s Pose, which provide a gentle stretch without strain.

Balance Poses: Poses that require balancing on one leg, like Tree Pose or Warrior III, can be challenging as your center of gravity shifts. Use a wall or chair for support or modify these poses to maintain stability.

Core-Intensive Poses: Poses that engage the core heavily, such as Plank or Boat Pose, may not be suitable as the pregnancy progresses. Focus on gentle core engagement through poses like Cat-Cow or Side-Lying Leg Lifts.

Listening to Your Body

Every pregnancy is unique, and what feels good for one person may not feel right for another. Always listen to your body and consult with your healthcare provider or a certified prenatal yoga instructor before starting or modifying your practice. If a pose causes discomfort or strain, it’s essential to back off and choose an alternative.

Benefits of Safe Practice

Practicing yoga during pregnancy can offer numerous benefits, including improved flexibility, reduced anxiety, and enhanced body awareness. By choosing the right poses and avoiding those that could pose risks, you can create a safe and supportive environment for both you and your baby.

Conclusion

Yoga can be a wonderful addition to your pregnancy journey, providing a sense of calm and physical strength. By being mindful of the poses you practice and avoiding those that may be unsafe, you can enjoy a fulfilling and safe yoga experience. Always prioritize your comfort and well-being, and embrace this special time in your life with positivity and mindfulness.

Scp au brain drabble ftw

No idea if or where the others would fit into this yet

Vio's been in the facility since he was very small (maybe HE'S an SCP??) Very smart retains info like a sponge. Aptitude for biological anomalies and chemical make up DNA ECT. He could recite chemical formulas like a textbook.

Shadow is very very very old. From imprisoning war old (current era after totk kinda? Idk def high tech enough to run these sort of facilities) deals with it by being childish/impish. When alone with Vio shows his more mature side rarely. Usually a few hours deep into co research and development.

049 ish. Instead of a zombie virus he spreads malice by touch, can use shadows around him ECT. Is there willingly. Mutual benefits. He gets to live, has a mostly safe environment where he can't accidentally cause an apocalypse, and gets unrestricted access to whatever research regarding malice he wants or needs. (Test subjects of criminals on death row situation, not that that occurs very often)

Vio has been in contact with him since he started there but has always clicked with him. Shadow v fond of the little "hylian" (again, possibly an SCP idk yet). Flirts constantly. Sometimes in an ancient language Vio is obsessed with cracking (lorulian p much)

If Vio ever figures out what he's actually saying he would die of embarrassment. It's actually very cliche and romantic. Vio tends to get the gist of his tone though.

(side note flirting obviously starts at an appropriate age this shit takes place when he's like mid 20s to 30s)

Basic structure of plot would be Vio was escorting Shadow (who he gets in trouble for naming Shadow instead of his SCP number constantly) to some kind of lab? Testing chambers? And they're going over the sky walks when a breach occurs and shakes the whole ass building. Shadow (maybe doing smth stupid to show off? Balancing on the rails, handstand near the edge, whatever)

He falls and out of pure instinct Vio grabs him bare handed like touching his bare skin on his arms to haul him back up.

Shadow is freaking the fuck out because 1: just saved his life and 2: just touched him! Bare handed! No gloves!

And Vio's fine. Totally panicking right now but fine.

He's put into quarantine with Shadow for 2 weeks in his room to see if anything changes. Shadow touches him like hourly. Mans hasn't touched bare skin in decades. And never someone who stayed alive.

Cheek caress, face touch, checking his pulse, feeling his temp on the back of his neck and forehead. Literally any excuse to touch him. Obviously eventually a kiss too. (Maybe no cams allowed in his bed area?)

Idk if he would have an immunity to malice or is like an SCP type that malice would have no effect on?

That's all I have for now :3
