Hey, you're being lied to about what fitness constitutes. If you can't work in an hour-long crossfit slog, but you can work in a five-minute walk, then that is still fitness. If you can't use your legs but you can do arm circles every now and again, that is still fitness. If you're moving around at work, that's still fitness. It can be intentional or incidental, but here's the best part: your body doesn't care if you're dedicating specific work-out times. It doesn't care if the "only" fitness it gets is your nine to five on your feet. It doesn't care, fitness is fitness is fitness. Some of us do it differently, but the end result is more or less similar.

If you can do any type of fitness safely, your body isn't going to care if you're doing it like an Olympic athlete or if you're just a casual.

nate d. stevenson fucking loves childhood friend drama and you know what. so do i

Anyways, what I was trying to say is. Like . The Eighteenth Doctor loves and cares for Humanity too much to get along with people. It's hard! All their individual pains and hates and the ways they hurt each other and the ways they hurt her to lose, pile up, and complicate everything. And her willingness to die for them, but please will they just stop asking her to, stop needing her... Just long enough to catch her breath?

Meanwhile, Missy The Second (probably*) finds it easy, easier than ever, to be charming and funny and... Nice. It's an easier discipline than Good, and gets you more praise- generally, can be quite useful- but mostly he's just. He cares enough to be doing this, trying this, but not enough to take any of it too seriously. Re-renegade, adjusting to freeing himself from his own Quests, he's just holidaying, passing through, and even without being The Master he's still as Notorious an Egotist- being likeable when he wants to pleases him.

Unveiling Gary: The Master Smith of "He Who Fights with Monsters"

Gary, known formally as Gareth Xandier, is a character that stands out in the captivating world of "He Who Fights with Monsters." His unique blend of skills, abilities, and powers make him a character worth exploring. In this post, we delve into the essence of what makes Gary a formidable ally and a master of his craft.

The Essence of Gary's Power

Gary's attributes are a testament to his strength and skill. As a Leonid, he possesses the innate power of the Fire essence, complemented by the Hammer, Iron, and Forge essences¹. These essences bond to the four main stats of Recovery, Spirit, Power, and Speed, each enhancing Gary's capabilities in their unique way².

💪 Strength and Meta-Weight

The Power attribute includes strength and meta-weight, allowing Gary to exhibit formidable strength and stability. The higher the power attribute, the more strength Gary displays, and the less he is affected by the forces exerted by others of the same or lower ranks².

🦵Flexibility and Dexterous Movement

The Speed attribute encompasses flexibility and dexterity, along with sheer speed. At the cusp of Iron and early Bronze rank, this attribute allows Gary to perform feats akin to an Olympic gymnast while sprinting, making him an agile and swift movement coach².

🧠 Mental Fortitude and Essence Control

The **Spirit attribute** reflects Gary's ability to handle various stimuli and the strength of his essence abilities. A higher Spirit attribute means enhanced senses and mental aspects, crucial for a smith of Gary's caliber².

🏃‍♂️Stamina and Recovery

Lastly, the **Recovery attribute** is indicative of how quickly Gary can replenish his mana, stamina, and health, playing a role in the duration of afflictions he can withstand².

Crafting and Smithing: Gary's Signature Skills

Gary's reputation as a smith is well-earned. He crafted the formidable sword **Dread Salvation** for Jason, and when he reforged it into **Hegemon's Will**, he achieved even greater heights with the assistance of Virid Martine¹. His skills in crafting are not just about creating weapons but also imbuing them with powerful essences that enhance their capabilities.

A Harsh Taskmaster with a Heart

While Gary's personality is easygoing outside of training, he transforms into a harsh taskmaster during sessions. His dedication to excellence is evident in his rigorous training methods, ensuring that those he coaches, like Jason, reach their full potential.

Conclusion

Gary's multifaceted abilities make him a character of depth and intrigue in "He Who Fights with Monsters." His stats, powers, and skills are a blend of raw strength, agility, mental acuity, and unmatched craftsmanship. As we continue to explore the rich tapestry of characters in this series, Gary stands as a testament to the complex and engaging world crafted by the author.

i would be disappointed if neverafter lays blame and guilt for its characters suffering at their authors’ feet. we use stories to live; we tell stories with bad shit because that shit HAPPENS TO US TOO. i think it more likely—and hope they’ll go this way—that the characters have to come to terms with the huge amount of control their authors have, bc of the systems in which they live, but discover and make ways to resist those controlling forces and live their own lives despite the systems. like uhhhhhhh the system of neoliberal late stage capitalism we live in, its systems and discourses which author our existences, which control our beings. OR? even better???? burn that shit to the fucking ground entirely, come what may. it is scary to destroy the terrible thing that gives order to your life, but scarier still to give up on imagining what life could be like without it.

Ok now I MUST buy a pizza at my place for you to rate it….

Also, I have never tried the pure American ehh cuisine? Though, I now wonder whether it tastes as awful and greasy as everyone says, because in my country people are eating literal animal fat and sometimes I really wonder if our traditional food is healthy at all lol

Dude I'll be waiting. But do take a Margherita so that they are comparable please.

Also you gotta tell me at least the general geographical area you come from cause I need to understand.

And here in Italy we (well, not me personally) eat animal fat too.

Strutto (lard?) is an ingredient in many preparations and used to fry

Butter is used too, though mainly in the north. Cause I come from olive oil Italy

And also there is this thing literally called Lardo which I guess is lard too if translated but it's:

Most famous one is Lardo di Colonnata. It is thinly sliced and put on bread or in hot dishes/food so that it practically melts

Also please never forget that a balanced diet is not a low calorie diet!!!! That is what western (American) civilisation has made up to justify corporate greed

Jsyk academic writers don't know how to use the word "judeo-christian" either

Taken from a school reading, idk the book but the chapter is called "Return of the Mecca" about black art through the lens of Islam, black power, and anticolonialism
