Jazz becoming the next big Gothem villain is such a solid concept. Theres so much to explore.
She targets corrupt mental institutions. Corrupt companies who destroy their workers state of mind so they wont quit. She attacks landlords who make it impossible for people to live comfortably.
She is the staple anti-hero of anyone struggling to get back on their feet. People should have to work three jobs just to afford a crappy one bedroom, no utilities, half bath, in crime alley apartment, with a roommate.
Shelters should be aiming to gain a profit instead of using the donations to support others.
She is tired of these big name heros leaving children to clean up messes. She has watcher her own brother wither away to a shell of his former self trying to make a change and she is sick of it. Hell she herself is a child but if this is what it takes, then this is what it takes.
Enter from the left The Manipulator™️
Feared by all corrupt. People think she has mind control or something. When she targets someone they make almost a full 180 in their ways. “She will do anything to get her way or to make people into what she thinks they should be. And she mist be stopped” cries big business.
In reality she is the worlds best damn psychiatrist ever to be known. She doesn’t force anyone to change but gives them the choice to be better. To see how much more they can be. And it terrifies them. Helps them find themselves again and to move past their troubling pasts. No force and no mind control. No manipulating. No one but those who she has helped know the truth but when they tell the truth it only fuels the fire of her being controlling.
Theres one thing also fuelling the flames of mind control. Thats the fact that every single major hero to go after her can’t. Any who approach her find themselves no long near her. Superman just wants to talk, well she doesn’t, and he is then back in his city?!? Batman is stalking her to figure out how to deal with her but once he gets too close he suddenly finds himself in the batcave?
At first they think it’s teleportation but time is passing? Theres video feed and tracking of no they just went back themselves. No response from them the whole trip. As if possessed. (Lmao it’s just good brother danny pranking his sis a little by making her seem all powerful but also protecting her anyway he can. Or could be Dan instead)

Finally finished this alcoholic old guy named Beef (joke) whom I'm deff not gonna take in hostage-
(Small Warning for main pics: Does contain scars & burns but those are healed so nothing too serious)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Danger Man McGhee on the Left, Normie Beef Man on the Right)
So I am kinda feeling better but still kinda meh atm. Anyways some art I wanted my time on & think it's not really good. (This is for a DT btw but I doubt the person I'm having the dt with will approve since kinda just... boring imo..) (Except one of my frends ON SCREb FRIKIN "SIMPS" FOR HIM BCS HE HAS A BEARD-)
(BUT UNFORTUNATELY I CANT CHNAGE THAT NOW BCS MY NECK WILL START HURTING & ILL FRIKIN H8 MYSELF AGAIN SO YAY!)
Anyways imma tell you some things about this moron:
He's a complete idiot who's a mechanic, but due to him being a idiot he often hurts himself on accident. (Which explains the burns)
He is divorced 6 TIMES! But only has one kid named Jasoer who is the child of his first spouse. (Which makes Jasper his estranged son)
He's a alcoholic & sometimes passes out from drinking a lot. (Btw kids don't drink you'll prob pass out or even die)
He's jealous of Sanchi (my Fallout OC) bcs well... Sanchi is smarter than him also bcs ANGUS IS LITERALLY JUST A STICK WHILE SANCHI CAN LITERALLY SNAP HIM IN HALF IF HE SO WANTS TO!
He gave himself the nickname "Danger Man McGhee" which is the most stupidest name to think of but hey a idiot giving himself a dum nickname is prob like "The floor is made of floor" or smtn.
Despite his stupidity & his very poor taste in men (srsly bro yur first lover literally SCRAPED YUR FRIKIN ARMS FOR SOME MALIOUS REASON), he's a good fighter, however ever since he stopped raiding, he kinda just works on machines & be lazy.
Thats really it tbh. I'm just not really to well mentally so I'm not really well motivated to actually do a thing like actually talk to ppl. (Plz don't ask why its... personal)
Some Extras:
(Warning: Does contain lots & lots of bl00d on one of the extras so beware)
Tumblr media
01:
The Moron w/o his cloth things & GoObLeS (God just smite me down I don't wanna be here anymore).
Tumblr media
02:
McGhee but w/o the goggles which aren't even canon to Fallout or FNV.
Tumblr media
03:
MaN, drawing the bl00d on this one was as hard as me trying to keep my sanity & not try to frikin screech at my mom anytime she won't leave me the frik alone. (Dont... ask... Again personal stuff)
Anyways that's all for the bonuses/extras. I hope you enjoy this, or don't, just don't dictate what ppl like or not, I'm just a random ahh kid on the net who draws for a hobby/living & is very much not sane.

How do you feel about the new Indigo Disk mons? Personally I think Hydrapple is sick as fuck.
Sorry for the wait! Was at work all day.
This answer will be under cut due to spoilers as it came out today.
I'm going to get these guys out of the way real quick cause I don't have a lot to say about them. In general, I am not a fan of robots/mechas, and Violet's Paradox pokemon, to me, are boring as it's the same mon but robot. Actually seeing them go robotic is what had me decide to get Scarlet over Violet. Only thing that tempted me was that Miraidon looked better for bike lizard, but the majority of the Paradox mons I just didn't like. I think only other I liked was Iron Thorns, but not enough to get it.
Of the... Iron Justice Trio (?), I actually like Iron Crown and Leaves the most.
Of the Justice Trio, Virizion is the one I liked the most. Iron Leaves doesn't do much to improve them, but I kinda like it cause I like Virizion the most of the trio.
Tumblr media
Iron Crown for me actually improves Cobalion for me. In some shots in the trailer, it actually looks majestic and fierce. I think with this, they were just able to polish the design better cause Cobalion to me just... always looked awkward. Like, it has blocky noodle legs. I don't like it. And by the lighting it looks like it's wearing a skintight jumpsuit and I don't like that. So, yeah, Iron Crown really improves and polishes up Cobalion's design. At least for me.
Tumblr media
Iron Boulder is just... meh. I don't really care for Terakion (similar issue to Cobalion in that it's just kinda awkward) and I wasn't expecting too much.
Tumblr media
Walking Wake I actually wasn't too crazy about initially.
Tumblr media
I will say, a big part of it was that I was salty we didn't get that sketch. I really liked the look of this thing. It looks like something you would ride into battle and it'd be epic.
Tumblr media
And then we got Walking Wake and it's like, oh.... ok.
But WW has grown on me, but if I had to pick between it or Suicune, I'd go with Suicune. It's not my favorite of the Paradox Beast Trio. Maybe it's making that shift of going onto two legs that throws me while the other two stay on four, so it's not so jarring? Idk.
Raging Bolt I liked more than Walking Wake, I think it's just so silly I can't help but kinda love it. It may be my fav of the trio.
Tumblr media
I do wish they picked a color to stick with. It's kinda messy with the red and the blue, and there are others in agreement. Some artist even go with blue over the red.
Gouging Fire, initially, I want to say I like what I see.
Tumblr media
But it's also kinda busy, so I'm in that spot where I kinda like it but I'm also unsure. Maybe I just need to see them in the game and how they move.
Duraladon I didn't really like, so Archaludon does nothing for me. When I first saw it, I wasn't even sure what I was looking at or knew where to rest my eye. So it's a mon I'm never going to use.
Tumblr media
By leaks and rumors, Hydrapple was a pokemon I was excited to see, and I gotta say, I do like it. In general, I love the Applin line, it's such a cute punny pokemon.
Tumblr media
It makes me wish Flapple and Appletun got an evo too, cause they feel like 2nd stage pokemon and could go further. Like, Appletun could've gone draconic turtle apple pie thing, and Flapple could've gone farther as a wyvern. Maybe one day.
Honestly, only thing that's disappointing is that it turns out those rumors were wrong and it's not our first Bug/Dragon. So, not yet sadly. But I am looking forward to trying it one day.
Terapagos was the legendary I was most intrigued with. And then I saw the apparent true form in the anime.
Tumblr media
Yeah I'm... I'm not crazy about it. My interest kinda dropped a little. The head is cute, but the rest of the body makes it look like some weird poodle. I like this form much more and I rather they stuck with it as the true form.
Tumblr media
I also saw that Terapagos has another Tera form, which so far, I can't find an image of it to share but I have caught glimpses, and atm, until I can get a good look, I have no idea what I'm really looking at. There's a lot of visual noise with that Tera form so I haven't really processed it yet in the bit I've seen.
Lastly, Pecharunt, I can't quite tell what I'm looking at yet. A butterfly??? I'm not sure. Supposedly this corrupted the "Loyal" Three, and is the true mastermind, or so I've heard. But of what I see doesn't impress me or interest me as much. It may be a matter I just need to look at it when there's better quality images and footage out.
Tumblr media
So for me, with the Indigo Disk, new mon wise is probably a positive but mixed bag. There are some I like, and some I don't.

ok so first things first, i loooove gatwa's doctor so much already. if nothing else, i love the masterclass in acting he's putting on, his expressiveness is so impressive. he brings a very fun energy to the role
the church on ruby road has me feeling a bit mixed as well. the plot was kind of meh, and i didn't like how in the alternate universe ruby's mum was just so mean without her. it didn't make sense. like what makes ruby so special, hm 🤨 what's this one white blond baby got that all the other babies in the world don't 🤨 i know the point was to show how much ruby meant to her mum, but like. there are other ways to do it than have a complete 180 in characterization.
i'm honestly not super interested in the mystery of ruby's parentage (which apparently seems like it will be a huge thing unless they're just making stuff up to fake us out, in which case, good on them). but i don't want it to be some big reveal i'm sorry 😩 especially not because if it is, people will bend over backwards to say how great storytelling it is when they'd never say that if moffat did a plot like this. i hadn't even considered the possibility really, when i'd first watched it, i thought it's just not that deep, but maybe i'm wrong. the people who are theorizing that ruby is rose and tentoo's daughter are sooo funny though like
ur only saying that because she's blond and we all know nobody on this show can be blond without being related to The Blond(tm) 🙄
that literally means they abandoned their kid. yes. such good parents 😫
i also feel like we didn't....really get to know ruby that well? i'll reserve judgement to give them more time obviously, and millie seems very green (not a judgement on her, and she and ncuti seem to have a lot of fun energy together) so there's still time and there's a lot of time in general for the stories to get going, and it had to do double duty as a christmas special and an intro episode for both new doctor and new companion so like, my feelings may also change with time. anyways those are my thots for now
yesss i was sold on gatwa very quickly i just hope he doesn't become 10th doctor rehash number 2345932853845 i am so tired. give him something new. also praying him and ruby don't have a romance angle there were a couple of moments in CORR i was like. GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT AGAIN.
CORR plot being meh i agreeee but also xmas specials plot is a lot of times like a wafer and as someone who watched it quite roasted ngl i kinda appreciated it 😂
YEAH omhg tho with ruby disappearing and her mum (i want to say carla??) completely changing as a person??? i get that the point was supposed to be like one little change can make such an impact etc etc as well. but also i was just like. .... ok but what about the other kids wasnt good enuf ???? maybe i'm a cynic lol. but fr have another MORE kids on the wall bc she's trying to fill a gap she doesn't know is from what !!!! IMAGINE.... especially with it being sort of set up as a doctor/companions parallel oh my god
nooo oh my god i know what you mean about rubys parents i like that theyre setting it up as a counter to 13s "it doesn't matter i'm good as i am my past doesnt define me" etc. but i really want it to not be interesting. i want her parents to just be like. normal people who had to make a hard choice lol. oh my god. i just realised. we're gonna go thru a fucking rey star wars arc with her im gonna lose it byee... imagine she ends the series like "im ruby doctor" :) i would quit watching.
but yeah 100% it's gonna be a big thing. atm i dont care but i guess we'll see and hope they do something interesting with it.... prayers she's an alien tbf
rose and tentoo would be terrible parents tbf i said what i said.
YEAH i know what you mean i feel like that about gatwa too i think its hard making the first intro for both an xmas special because it has to be kinda silly and rompy so you cant rlly get too into the grit of the characters?? still reserving judgement on them both, but its taken me a while to warm up to like. everyone in dr who since bill--- wait i take that back i loved bel in flux from like her first scene but she's not a doc or companion.

I was tagged by @sirtadcooper - thank you!! 😃
Tag someone you want to know AND/OR some of your besties.
(mandatory under the cut because I'm an idiot who can't keep it short to save her life 😅)
Favourite colour: this is an easy one, I'm in an established relationship and still madly in love after so many years with practically every shade of violet/purple that exists! 💜 Maybe I'm slightly more drawn to colder hues, but I'm not really that picky when it comes to this family of colours!
Tumblr media
(This is a picture of a portion of wall in my bedroom I have asked to be painted with this shade of violet - which is a bit darker in reality but y' know, artificial light, that corner is way too dark to photograph otherwise... the whole room has various hues of purple scattered around: curtains, decorations, blankets, pillows... here's a special appearance of my beautiful boat lamp! ⛵💕)
Last song: thanks to a suggestion from Youtube, which probably hates me, because I'm still recovering from a flu and generally weak so it would be wise to avoid any kind of unneccessary emotional outburst:
youtube
Not technically a song, but still... I'm not sure if I was crying while watching this because I haven't had the chance to listen to them live yet, since they made a European tour twice but never touched my country and I couldn't travel abroad to see them, or because of... whatever it is that is going on with this performance and these artists, "epicness" to me barely covers it, I know I'm exaggerating but that's how much I love Two Steps From Hell, what can I say... In any case here I am being even more of a mess than I already am, you'd think I have had enough of using handkerchiefs these days! 😭❤️‍🔥
Last movie: I think it was Imagine me & you, which I finally watched after seeing a lot about it here (unpopular opinion no one asked for, I thought I would have enjoyed it more... ☹️)... It was either that or Bros (which I actually enjoyed it more than I expected instead 😁), at the moment I don't remember exactly which came last...
Currently watching: Fellow Travelers as for new shows (fuck me, seriously, what am I doing to myself 😭 - I'm crying quite a bit in this post 😅), rewatching Blackadder after having finished A bit of Fry and Laurie 😆, and sports as well, mainly tennis, padel and basketball atm!
Other stuff I watched this year: Oh my, I didn't watch an awful lot of things, but I'll surely forget something - I'm terrible remembering this kind of stuff (if only it was just these things 😅)! Let's see, in no particular order, I can recall Minx (so far this year the most pleasant surprise in terms of TV series I've watched for the first time, silly [affectionate] little show), Wednesday (it was a bit meh for me, not sure if I'll watch next season), Red, white & royal blue (likely one of my favourite movies this year ❤️... yeah, it's not certainly a big deal of a movie ofc and I'm not even a rom com gal, especially for those Hallmark style movies, like this kinda is, but idk, it was cute and warm and brought good feelings and probably I watched it in the right moment for me, or one on which I just needed good vibes, what can I say), Call me by your name (even more than watching the movie reading the book was... quite an experience - I'm not saying it an entirely bad way, but I'm still so utterly confused about my feelings about this novel), What's love, The kissing booth (don't ask me about this one, the things I do to watch an actor I like 😅 - there's a whole trilogy of it but I only watched the two movies that had in the cast the actor I was interested in, really can't be bothered to do more than that, it was enough suffering I endured 🤣), Only murders in the building, The witcher, National treasure: edge of history (I don't care what anyone says, this show deserved at least another season, it was far from perfect but there has been way worse that still sticks around, and I'm speaking as a fan of the movies foremost, especially the first one, which is one of my comfort movies, as absurd and silly as it is 😊), Shadow and bone, The witcher (as for these, I'll probably keep watching an eventual next season only for some of the cast, because both were an utter disappointment and I wouldn't bother continuing otherwise), let's see, what else, oh yeah, Smiley (this was another nice show tbh, and in this case I could also train my ear a bit on the language since it's in Spanish and I'm trying to learn and improve it 😝) and two other Spanish shows (guilty again for watching mainly for an actor I wanted to see ah ehm), Merlì/Merlì: Sapere Aude and Alguien tiene que morir, and Érase una vez… pero ya no, all pretty much forgettable... I don't know what else, probably there is something more, but I'm making it lenghty already, I should stop anyway!
Shows I dropped this year/didn’t finish: damn, I should make a sheet about tv/movies as I do with books, it's honestly hard remembering what I watched or dropped! I can recall not going through the second episode of Warrior nun: again, another show I was curious about having seen things here on Tumblr, but I didn't feel it after the first episode, I'm not even sure exactly why - it's possible I'll try again someday, it's way too early to have an opinion after only one episode! I also didn't finish Lockwood & co., this one wasn't really for me tbh... I'm not even mentioning something I've been watching only and exclusively because it's a sort of joke I have with a friend of mine... All right, I'll say, it's High School Musical: The musical - the series 😅 Truth is, my friend likes the movies and low key also the series, whereas I hate them all, and she knows they piss me off and she has fun hearing my comments and teasing me about it... I have a bit less fun submitting myself to this "torture" but whatever! 🤣 I try to watch the series when I'm particularly willing to waste my time, because the only reason I'm doing it is to have a laugh with said friend, anyway rn I'm at the last season and it's so bad, sooooooo bad (mind you, meaning it's just not for me, I'm likely too old and too millennial to watch this kind of shows anymore), I don't know how I am supposed to endure any more of it lol!! I guess at some point I'll force myself to finish it to end my suffering and hoping my friend and I will finally close this questionable chapter of our watching experience, but damn it's hard! 😝 As for shows of which I completed a season but didn't watch the next, I could say one was Abbott Elementary: pretty bummed about it because it was actually cute and was enjoying it, I finished the first season when the second didn't air yet and when it did, I had moved on and lost interest a bit and wasn't in the mood to continue my watching (happens to me a lot)... I think at some point I will resume this one, just have to find the right inspiration! 😛 (I'm rather complicated and picky about my watching/reading experience in general, ops) And I have to mention as well, even if it will surely grant me some disapproval from the person who tagged me in this game 😆, I couldn't pick up Our flag means death after the first season as well, and for now I don't think I will resume it: I didn't really feel this show, I don't know what to say... 🤷 Should I mention that I also tried rewatching The Terror but I was like "oh hell no!" after the first episode?! 😅 In my defense I watched it at night, and the show is A LOT and nearly killed me the first time, yeah ok I'm making excuses but I have to be in a certain state of mind to watch certain things and The Terror is one of those cases - I already mentioned I'm complicated with my watching experience, yes?! 😜 Anyway it was a rewatch so it shouldn't count sssshhhh 🤫😁
Currently reading: more like, the books I've put on hold atm, ouch! True that this year, especially in the first half, I've read way more than I expected and definitely way more than I usually do, but that's not an excuse to make a pause - still, I'm realizing that it's been few weeks since I've picked up my readings! Anyway, what I've been reading is Mercanti avventurieri by Attilio Brilli, which collects stories about merchants and their travels and trades through the centuries; Columbus by Lawrence Bergreen, the account of Cristoforo Colombo's voyages in America - not happy enough of ending up horrified and outraged by the chronicle of Magellano's expedition (by the story and events, not the author's writing, which I actually appreciated a lot), I decided to educate myself more about another so called "pioneer" who thanks to his hubris committed terrible atrocities in the name of "progress" and "religion" and "civilization" and so on 😡 , since the little knowledge I have about Colombo comes mainly from my years at school... Despite the fact that my respect for this man is nowhere to be seen, I'm still somehow fascinated by the narration of sea voyages, which in the end are actually my main interest when reading this kind of stories; Atlante delle fortune di mare di Cyril Hofstein, an account of tales about (mis)fortunes at sea, involving incidents, lost treasures, mysterious events, discoveries, disappearances, disasters and so forth - btw, in the book there is this particular chapter:
Tumblr media
The disappearance of the Erebus and Terror is the title - the real story is terrifying enough even without creating a fictional horror show inspired by it jfc!
And lastly, this is definitely the less "serious" reading, The Lawrence Browne affair by Cat Sebastian, one of my first attempts at reading "proper" (meaning they're not fanfictions, not that I don't consider those "proper" literature, on the contrary many of them are written far better than some published books I've read, so yeah, I should say "published" instead) erotic novels lmao 😝 This was a whim really, I felt I wanted to read something light, "wicked" and not to be taken seriously (it also was probably some sort of "knee-jerk reaction" to many of the queer books I read this year, which were sad, depressing and/or tragic 😔)! Romance novels are not really my jam in general, but every once in a while they don't hurt, since I'm doing it just for fun! This one is actually the second book of a trilogy, more disappointing than the first book I have to say, which was more "juicy" and entertaining! 😁
Currently listening to: ah, this is a tough one to pinpoint, because lately my Spotify is on shuffle most of the time (I have a folder literally called "Miscellanea" that keeps a bit of everything, it's a glorious mess lol), and my music preferences are rather varied... Let's say that if I have to consciously choose something at the moment, there would certainly be Poets of the Fall, Gaelic Storm, The Irish Rovers, Santiano (in general celtic folk/punk songs, especially if inspired by sea and sailors stories- those are good for all seasons 🥰), Two Steps From Hell, J2 and "epic music" in general, and dance-pop music from '70 to '00, original or remixes, especially when I work out in the last case!
Currently working on: do crosswords count? It's my newest pursuit lol 😆 Because otherwise I'm afraid I'm not working on anything in particular at the moment (and I should start, since I had a couple of ideas for gifts for Christmas that alas, have to be handcrafted in order to be created, and if I want to have them done I am the one who must work on them, ugh can you believe it, outrageous, what has the world come to 😂)... I occasionally do a bit of calligraphy, create costume jewellery or create little macramè things, again usually trinkets but this summer I bought thicker yarns so I could have a go at something a little bigger like coin purses, wallets and little bags, and all in all it didn't go that bad:
Tumblr media
The problem is, at least with the purses, that with these dimensions I can't fit half the things I usually bring with me when I go out because "you never know what might happen I might need this thing", so these purses were more like first tries and will likely not be used by me very much because they are too small for my necessities! 😅 In any case, I had to put this activity on hold for a bit because I lacked some time to dedicate myself to it!
Oh, wait, does trying to repair a porcelain ornament that fell on the floor (not because of me, I want to clarify, for once that I don't accidentally bump into stuff and make a mess - which happens more often than I'd like 😅) count? Hardly but whatever, anyway it's going to be complicated to glue the pieces back, some have shattered in such tiny fragments, sigh...
Current obsession: I'm almost shocked to report that at the current moment no particular obsession has consumed my every waking hour 🤣 I mean, even the flame of padel, which I've been following almost religiously all year, has dimmed a little, but it is the end of the season/year, everyone is tired and so am I apparently, rooting for couples who almost never have significant results (story of my life lol), so I guess I'm recharging the batteries for another round of hopeless cheer next year, yay! 🥳 For the rest, in terms of media I believe there is nothing of significance to report in terms of proper "obsession" for the time being, so yeah, that's it 😌 (the times of Black Sails or even Agents of SHIELD are far behind me, I miss being that "obsessed" tbh ☹️)
Tagging @thelifeinmyshadesofgrey , @whitestnoise , @lives-ruined-and-bloodshed, @valentinaonthemoon , @mednay , @tirairgid (ofc if you want to and haven't done it before) and whoever wants to give it a go really!

curious if you have more Opinions on heel-to-toe drop. I've noticed that my ankle mobility is worse after wearing higher-drop shoes and this has me biased against them. but I also do not want to fuck up my everything
again, i'm speaking with all the authority of a 14-year-old who has tried weed like three times, and one of those times may have been oregano:
context: what's higher-drop for you? daily, running, or other athletic endeavors?
caveats/personal experience: i have usually worn 8mm drop shoes (or gone barefoot) for daily shit, 4mm-8mm for running. as far as i can tell, i'm not heelstriking even in the 8mm shoes (but people are notoriously bad at actually knowing what's going on there! possibly i heelstrike. too lazy to record it). i have fantastic ankle mobility in some directions (plantar flexion), and kinda meh in others (dorsiflexion), though not to the extent that it causes me a problem.
i have a bunch of injuries atm, but the pt i'm seeing thinks it looks like it's my hip mobility that's causing it (too much of it, uncontrolled).
some assorted considerations/thoughts/etc for high/low drop in running shoes in particular...
broadly speaking, with lower drops, forces on the foot and ankle get emphasized, and with higher drops, on the knees and hips. it's a spectrum. your everything is affected by every shoe. the forces have to go somewhere.
supposedly, when measured, the injury rate is more or less the same for all kinds of running shoes with respect to drop, it's just that people get injured in different places.
most current shoes are going to be 4mm-8mm. as i understand, just a few years ago, there were oodles at 12mm, but it's dwindled down, and now it's just like one brooks shoe and one mizuno? there's a few more at 10mm.
the current trend is high-stack shoes (let's say 30mm+), and high-stack doesn't play very nicely with high-drop (let's say 8mm+ but it's not a firm border). i'm not totally sure on the reason; it's to do with everything getting unstable when they're both high.
in the other direction, higher stack can encourage being fast, for (handwave) reasons?, so race-day & speed workout shoes sometimes stay up at 8mm. or 6mm. or whatever. track shoes have undefined stack but i guess if we tried to define it, it would be very, very high. (tbf track sprinters apparently have astoundingly high rates of injury-per-mile, but they put so much force into each of those miles.)
very very minimalist shoes (0-4mm drop, low stack like <15mm including the sock liner) exist. they can be kinda rough to run in. i used to run in them! i also ended up injured. they will work some foot muscles that get worked less in non-minimalist shoes, but to some degree it's kinda at the expense of getting better in a straightforward way at running. possibly the majority of these benefits can come from just walking in the minimalist shoes; also possibly the same/at least highly overlapping proprioceptive & and weird foot muscle benefits can come from trail running (uneven surfaces). on the bright side, they're fairly decent to lift in.
if you're running but only a little bit (pulled out of my ass: <<10 miles a week, <2 miles each, like as a warmup or whatever for something else), you can try whatever you want to try as long as it's comfortable. if you're running more than that, you can also do whatever you want, as long as it's comfortable, but probably fewer things will be comfortable.
"as long as it's comfortable" is really the important part there. like, this is the best, most-supported scientific shoe-picking-out process we have. if it's comfortable, then you're less likely to get injured (tendonitis etc).
idk if any of this was relevant or if i totally misread it. but. shoes! i can look up any of the relevant papers but i am being hassled atm by a cat.

the conversation
(just scroll to the end of the post if you want some blog news and not philosophy from blog author in a little strange life... place?)
upd: no, let's do vise-versa - here is the news, and if you want some philosophy open under the cut
The news is here:
life: is this your way to tell followers that you are not sure about timing and days and in general of your online and art posting for next week(s)?
me: yeah. :)
life: FUCK OFF-
me: omg i found piece. idk why but i feel calm. i feel no fear. i am so confident
life: get out from the flat and take your things, you have 1 day :)
me: lol ok
life: .....wh-....? "lol" "ok"?
me: yeah
life: "yeah"?
me: you will just repeat shit after me or what
life: i mean it was supposed to be like. a test
me: mmmm. maybe? but idk. more of a like. a situation
life: stop talking like that you little shit, i am trying to scare you!
me: if you will do a thing to human for 26 years every day he will used to it yk
life: what thing?????
me: trying to scare?
life: you bitch!!!!!! you was a nervous shivering wet cat for your whole life, wtf happened!!!
me: well, things? like, good health treatment, job experience, that one birthday when i decided to leave all the shitty thing in the past and move forward and had a loot of free space for New now. a oh and that night at the bar! and that's not all!
life: night at the bar, WH- how the F it can change anyth-
me: and like that thing with "oh happy monument! oh it's not happy anymore because i think about it will end and sad things will came". this shit is done too! i mean. i accepted it? like. things will end! what a surprise! they will end anyway. it is impossible to always have only good situations, they like. You know that zebra shit, it is working. Why people don't think "oh this shit is very sad! but i feel so happy because this sad thing will end and happy one will come!". Happy things happens and ends, sad things too. I am just feeling that is happening atm
I am just doing things, doing my destiny which i choose, and fun things which i love. And i feel happy because a lot of happy things happening! And, well. Shit happened, what a shock! Well, i will take it as a test. But i am not a "i want only a+" guy in the class anymore. I am not even in the class! I just have a situation and i will just do something about it! That's how situations works!
life: but it's emergency situation!!!
me: nah, not really, i wanted to move out long time ago. kinda needed kick in the butt. the only uncomfortable thing here is a surprise. and kiiinda not-clear future. but, lol, when it was clear?
life: LBGRRRRRBGufshgsfRRRRRRR-
me: i am kinda tired of every my thought being setup-punch line joke, so meh. not this time! ha!

I hate chapter 2 and I feel so bad about it but I cannot fake the enthusiasm I get from group releases for all solos… not all of the member interest me as solo artists and I wonder if this mean I should unstan altogether even though I love them in the group so much.
I think it's super toxic to force yourself to love everything someone releases just bc you like them as people.. and trying to do so will just make you begin to hold it against them.
Like... I think I've said this before last year/early this year when namjoon started doing all sorts of collabs, but if an artist is doing a bunch of different things chances are you won't like everything. But that's good bc it means they're developing as artists and I guess the same thing goes when an artist you love starts focusing on genres you don't like at all. Just pick it up and look at it and if it's not your thing then put it down and enjoy the things you DO like.
I've been thrilled by some chapter 2 developments, neutral about others, and even largely disappointed by others.
But I don't own the members and I don't control them. Maybe over time I might grow apart if they continue doing things in a direction opposite to my interests, but I also might grow closer.
I'm someone who's always been VERY interested in the lyrical aspect of things and love metaphor and the idea that things can be interpreted into many different layers, so tend to lose interest very fast in songs that can only be taken at face value (though exceptions exist)
I'm also very much not a fan of artists repeating the same content as that's equally boring so truly I'm glad evolution is happening even if it feels counterproductive atm.
Am I kinda meh about jks solo? Yeah... bc I enjoy the radio hits done by Justin Bieber, Ed sheeran, Harry styles, and Shawn Mendes... so I'm kinda uninterested in seeing their music be repeated thru jk since I already have them doing that sound... same with dancing. I KNOW jungkook is talented. He's not proving anything to me that I don't know, so him doing replicas of Michael Jackson is also kinda boring bc well.. i can watch decades of MJ doing that already... but for people who don't know him this is a good way for him to show off his vocals and dancing and pop potential... that doesn't include me so I've been pretty meh since it's nothing exciting....
Pop is very repetitive, that's the industry and I'm not faulting that. But if you want to be interesting in it you need to find something that makes you stand out and not replicate what's already being done... :/
I'm not hating on jungkook, and I'm not hating on taehyung.. but I just wish they leaned into things that made them unique instead of doing more safe genres that made them blend in.
But I guess namjoon did that risk and it kinda fcked him over in sales, same with jhope. So clearly I'm not the target audience and they must be doing something right...
Anyways. I'm just hoping that more content is released that IS for me, and I hope the same for you. But if none of it speaks to you it's ok to just enjoy the past content that you DID vibe with and just wait for chapter 3 when they all return and see if that changes anything for you. Xx
I just rbd a ton of content labeled "bts chapter 2" of moments I've really genuinely ADORED and I hope maybe something vibes with you

Tangerine has my heart in a chokehold and I am happy to see you love him too!!!🥵🫠🍊
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
🥵THIS ASK is why we can't use phones while operating heavy machinery. He's got me in a permanent choke hold.
✨Random personal story✨
I had a crush on Aaron TJ back when I was a teenager and he was my fancast for James Potter. Fast forward a bunch of time and me and my sister are at the mall and I have some tip money left over - we go in thinking meh Brad Pitt is cool, having no idea. He comes on and I swear I thought I was going to die. The movie is amazing and walking out my sister (early teens) looks at me (and I'm a little worried because it was kinda violent) and goes "holy s* that guy was sooooo hot" and I swear shes like a mini clone of me. Anyway we started being girly (something super frowned upon in my house) and I got all the deets about her crushes which we now call tangerines.
I have a Tangerine on Tangerine 🍊 and am more than happy to supply content. I think the story I wrote for him is my most popular fic atm.
Anyway sorry for my very long reply. Just always excited when I get to gush about him or the movie in general.
Love ya! 😘

Have you been playing Baldurs Gate yet? If so, who are you romancing?? And would you considering doing requests for it??
Hi hi! My partner and I have been PUMPING it out. We think we're near the ending but unsure tbh.
Atm, I'm not taking requests, but I already know what type of requests ya'll would want :P
Ok, also, I'm gonna add some things under the cut, a little spoilery, but nothing about the base game story. Just the romances.
Ok, so, I'm currently romancing Gale. But I kinda regret going with any romance at all.
Tbh, none of the characters really peak my interest. Gale caught my attention at first because some of his replies were witty and I liked the banter with the character.
But now, he's turned major kiss ass in my opinion. No hate towards that sort of love, its super cute. But when it happens over and over again, it's meh. And his obsession with his ex, can get irritating.
Karlach would be my second choice. Love her to pieces. She's so cute and bubbly, and I love her story. But I still don't think any of the romances do anything for me.
Not like Dragon Age or Mass Effect. I'm not feeling any connection with any of the characters.
But I wanted to give the romances a go to see if they were like the other games I enjoyed. But I am not really feeling anything with them. Don't get me wrong, the conversations are great and their stories are awesome.
But I none of them are really "my type", I guess.

Well uh I have an unexpected update
I told them bout damn near everything. I tried to kms a few different times but the very last try I thought would be guaranteed to work. Soo when I woke up barely feeling any different I was BITTERRR
Shoot abd yeah I won't lie, I took it out on them partially. But. I admitted to everything
And they didn't yell at me for it. Uh. Well I wss doing most of the yelling honestly.. I was terrified. I was being so defensive just waiting on them to trash on me. Tho uh I guess me yelling was a little much. I don't ever yell so it rattled my stepmom a bit annd I think that ended up being the straw that broke the camels back. She randomly cries all the time now
Not to say I'm proud of that but I am glad that it went that far. They're really taking fixing everything seriously. Me, my sisters, and my stepmom and dad all talked together last night. We all tried to just brush past it but she started boohooing and pushed us to talk about the more serious issues
That shit was scary as hell. I hate it. But from now on we're all supposed to work on talking and working through certain issues so that we're all not avoiding each other all day everyday
I think I'm truly done with dph tho. I hate swallowing pills atp. Just picturing that feeling of them sliding down my throat.. the way my stomach burns. Ugh. I can't atm. And now that they know, I don't think I'd be allowed to keep any pills on deck tbh 😭
Part of me regrets it all. Part of me still hates everything and would rather die than figure our everything that's wrong with me. But meh. It is what it is
Me and R are back to normal too tbh. I love her still but atp she feels like family to me. I don't think I'd want a relationship with her anymore. Well kinda but it's just not the same. I'm glad I can push past that shit for now
Annd uh. Ig that's it. I'll leave everything up just incase there's someone out there struggling. Ik I did a lotta whining but I hope some of the bs I spew'll be useful
Hmu if you want anything. I'll still check in on this acc from time to time. But for now... this is it

Hey y'all!
So since Twitter seems to be a lucrative place to be atm, I wanted to formally (re)introduce myself here on tumblr.
I'm Arie, and I used to use tumblr sometime between 2012-2016ish? I made a new account to clear my head pretty much but to my surprise I maybe here more often if Twitter does indeed fail.
Basic things to know about me:
I am 21+. She/her. Musician. STEM major. VO.
MXTX recoveree (or enthusiast on any given day).
Disclosure: I am not a danmei enthusiast (I am really selective and will migrate to things that have beautiful soundtracks), but I do not mind befriending those who are.
Kdramas / dramas in general recs are encouraged
Webtoons / manhwa recs are encouraged
Anime is meh to me these days, but I might be able to say I watch something.
I am not a marvel/dc fan. I've seen some things but please spare me the comic book conversations. I can promise you that I am not interested lol.
I take music commissions btw so if you need bgm, or a track please consider me! https://officialangelkeys.carrd.co/
Currently playing: Pokemon Violet (feel free to reach out to me on any of the following below if you want my friend code!)
I still can log into my original account if I have too, but it's a lot to take in when I do that because I used to be an online trauma dump kinda person and ahaha-- it's so cringe.
Anyway, links below!
heeyy you made it this far :)
You can find me here~ The carrd link may also take you to some other places as well.
Tiktok: @angelkeys07
Twitter (for now): @Akeys07
Youtube: Akeys7
Carrd?: Angelkeys
Discord: akeys07#0814

it's very easy to take a period of badness in your life and translate that to mean everything has been unsatisfying. like im such a nightmare for 'bad thing has happened and put me in a bad place mentally, i am now going to convince myself that life has always been this bad and, what's more, will continue to be this bad' but that's just not true? and it's important to remind yourself of that. i have sat in a bathtub with my friend before, dying their hair blue while we passed around a bottle of peach schnapps. i have sang abba on the tube at 3am with people who weren't scared to sing just as loud if not louder. i have seen cities and towns and villages and i will see more. i am an adult and last week i got in a pillow fight while watching pirates of the caribbean with a girl i didn't even know a few months ago. every friday i go to the coffee shop my friend works at and we get to stay past close, get to watch this quiet corner of life shut down. sometimes i get free drinks, or a croissant, and we all get the bus home together. when i am alone in bed in the dark, everything feels so underwhelming, but i wont always be in this bed. i will get up tomorrow, and something a little beautiful will happen, even if i spend the day inside, even if it's just my flatmate giving me her mango juice because she doesn't like it but she noticed i always buy juice, even if it's just messaging people i love. i wonder who i will meet next, where i will go next. there's so much left to see but only if you keep looking
#i am once again writing dumb shit at 4am but at least this one isn't depressing#fun fact forcing yourself to think about things like this is actually really nice#like MAKING yourself basically list things that have been fun or little slices of life in the past few weeks#bc you dont appreciate it at the time or even after it's happened and it makes you lose the memory#but it's these tiny enormous moments that make our lives so HUMAN#and that's how you stay happier. or even just get to a place of tolerating things better#like no toxic positivity yadda yadda#but sometimes you really do just stroke a cat on the street and be like 'damn im gonna be okay'#i have had a pretty meh day just bc i spent most of it getting ready to see my sister tomorrow#just for my flight to be cancelled#and what's more i haven't seen anyone today (i went into the city but i didnt TALK to people or see friends yk)#and i havent had lectures bc of strikes atm and it's SO easy to fall into isolation at uni when this kinda thing happens#so ive grown like a knee-jerk response that when im in my room for too long without seeing anyone#it instantly tanks my mental wellbeing#but still! at one point today i was facetiming my dad about my flight#and i havent talked to him in AGES#and then my mum walked into the room he was in and SHE was on facetime to my SISTER#and we all kinda laughed for a bit about this weird little family meeting we'd accidentally had#and it's those moments you have to latch onto sometimes! even if it feels stupid or tiny or pathetic#idk im just thinking and vomiting it into the tags as per <3#i think my suddenly reignited love for haikyuu has caused this#bc one thing i love about haikyuu/reading haikyuu fics is that it really makes me fall in love with humanity agian#*again#bc half the time the plot is just 'oh look at these idiots making each other happy and also they love each other so much'#and that's that. they're satisfied and fulfilled and every time im like 'omg they love each other so much' like a SUCKER#anyway im done now i swear <3 goodnight dont yell at me for being awake im TRYING
