You can’t believe how quickly that escalated. 

One second you’re on set, the next, filming has been shut down for an indeterminate time for safety.

One second you’re out for lunch, the next, you find yourself at Costco helping your mom stock up for what seems like an apocalypse. Thank God Tom was with you, or you would have truly gone mad.

“MY. GOD!” Your mom exclaimed behind the wheel as she spotted the parking lot. “People are going crazy!”

“Parking at Costco is usually hard to find, but there literally isn’t one spot available.” Tom huffed, peeking his head out the window.

“So… what do we do?” You asked your mom, resting your head on Tom’s shoulder.

She looked over at you guys from her rear-view mirror and smiled slightly.

“Can you guys go in and I text you what to get?”

“Yeah of course, Mrs Y/L/N.” Tom clapped his hands together. “We’re an old couple, Y/N and I, aren’t we, love? Go grocery shopping together all the time.”

“Shut up, Tom. Every week we go, and it’s just you sitting in my cart, begging me to push you around.” You rolled your eyes at him. “Useless child, you are.” You poked him.

“Y/N.” Your mom said sternly in a tone you knew all too well. “Be nice to your boyfriend.”

“Yeah, be nice to your boyfr-“ Tom pouted at you, but stopped mid-word because you blew a big raspberry on his cheek. “Hey, that’s not a proper kiss, give dadd-“

“Okay, we’re approaching the entrance!” You said louder than necessary, your cheeks reddening. Your mom loved Tom, but no amount of closeness between the two would ever, ever make it okay for her to know about your little daddy kink.

The two of you scrambled out of the car and your mom opened the window.

“Wait, take my card!”

“It’s okay, Mrs, I can pay, don’t worry about it.” Tom leaned forward to tell her. Your heart fluttered slightly, he was just so cute, you thought.

“Don’t be silly, Y/N take my card.”

You huffed, letting go of Tom’s hand and reaching into the car to take it.

“Just let my mom pay, babe, she’ll never get over it if you do.” You said to him as the two of you turned around. “But you’re sweeeet.” You grinned bigly at him, eyes all smiley and squinty. He smiled back at you, and gave you a quick kiss.

“Alright, love, let’s go get a cart, shall we?” He walked with you to go get a cart, giving your butt a quick little spank.

“Tom!” You said through gritted teeth and laughter as you wiggled your hips to get his hand off you. “My mom’s car is still. behind. us.”

“Can’t help myself sometimes.” He laughed.

The environment in the store was crazy. Everyone was wiping everything down with wipes, some people wore gloves and masks. Quite a few people recognized you two, but everyone was social distancing, so the best they got unfortunately were some six feet apart selfies.

“Never thought I’d get recognized at Costco, to be honest.” Tom said.

“You’re… literally… Spiderman, Tom.” You looked at him.

“You never really get used to it.” He shrugged. “‘Course you might be, with all your Youtube subscribers and-“

“Oh, stop it.” You giggled, slapping his arm. “Okay, okay, my mom is spamming my phone. Jesus Christ. 4 bags of frozen vegetables, 36 cans of V8, canned tomatoes, flour, rice, oil. She’s gone crazy.” You looked up at Tom incredulously. 

“We better get started then.” Tom rested his elbows on the cart and slowly walked alongside you.

Slowly but surely, following the crowd of anxious shoppers, you made it to the produce section. As you were picking out what kind of apples you should get, you hear Tom ask.

“Love, you want pineapple? Looks pretty good.” He called out from in front of you, holding up a pineapple.

“Yeah, thanks.” You couldn’t help but smile. You were so whipped for this boy, it annoyed you how much you smiled around him.

He carried on, weight resting on his elbows on the cart handle. You decided on the apples and went to join him, slipping your hand around his waist.

“Your ass looks cute in those sweatpants.” You grinned cheekily at him, as your hand give him a quick pet and he scoffed, putting his arm around your shoulder.

“So you can do it and I can’t? Unfair.”

He listened to you read off the list again and carefully picked out cartons of eggs, opening each box to make sure none were cracked.

“You know, I’ve never seen you behave so normally food shopping before.” You looked at him, a hand on your hip.

“We’re not just food shopping, we’re food shopping for your mum! I need to impress her with my potential future son-in-law skills.”

“Awe, I love you. You buffoon.” You said.

“Hey, don’t give me those big puppy eyes here. I love you too.” Tom said, returning to the cart and your side and kissing you swiftly on the top of your forehead.

“Our cart’s quite heavy already.” You pointed out.

“It’s okay, I got super strength.” He winked at you, earning jab on the arm. “You know, you’ve got to stop showing your affection by punching me.”

“I thought you had super strength.” You said, in a British accent.

“This woman.” He chuckled, shaking his head and running his hand through his hair. 

“Hey, my mom just texted she wants oranges. You mind getting them, we can’t turn the cart back around with all these people.”

“Sure.” Tom headed off.

A little while later, as you’re pushing your cart that weighed a ton, you find your mom. She finally found a parking spot.

“Where’s Tom?” She asked you.

“Gone to get your oranges. Hey, are 10 kilograms of flour really necessary?”

“Yes, they are. You don’t know how long we can be stuck inside after this! Now, go get applesauce, those never expire. And get one for Tom too.”

You were going to quarantine with Tom, and you found it heartwarming your mom thought of you guys, often getting double of things.

“What took you so long?” You asked Tom when he finally returned.

“They have Easter chocolate!” He grinned, holding up two bags of chocolate eggs.

“See, I’m with you for a reason.” You took both bags and the oranges as well. “Come push the cart babe, it’s actually impossible now.” You laughed.

“Chocolate!” Your mom exclaimed.

“They had dark, so got that for you Mrs.” Tom pointed.

“Kiss ass.” You teased him.

Your two-hour long Costco trip ended and after helping your mom with the groceries, you and Tom were finally back at your home unloading your own stuff.

“Babe, we don’t have any eggs.” Tom pointed out.

“Oh no.” You said, flopping down on your couch and already on the verge of falling asleep.

“What are we going to eat in the morning?” His eyebrows furrowed, then plopped right next to you.

“Cereal.” You said in a muffled voice, head buried in a pillow.

“Mhmm.” Tom answered, wrapping an arm around your waist.

The two of you woke up some time later.

“Jeez, how long we been asleep?” You rub your eyes.

“I want my eggs.” Tom mumbled.

You looked online, and it appeared most supermarkets were all out, of a lot of stuff even.

“Where else can we get eggs?”

“Chickens!”

“Tom, that… sounds kinda fun actually.”

Next thing you know, you drove to a really nearby farm to get two chickens and you’re now in the backyard making sure your fences really work.

“-and over there is Chestnut. Be free, my friend, ooh!” Tom recorded himself, as he let one fly out of his arms.

You laughed. “You hold your phone like a dad.”

“What do you mean? This is how I record myself, here is the misses right here.” He turns to get you in the shot. “She’s looking cute n’ all, in my big sweater.”

“Hi guys, we own chickens now!” 

“Hey, I’m a chicken dad!”

What's the most relaxing thing you did today? Motherfucking SLEEP. I slept from 10-11 AM and 2-3 PM today and it was the most glorious feeling. Those have been the only naps I’ve been able to sneak in all week. Do you shop at the grocery store closest to your house? Yes, we do. We have two stores that are in different locations but are the same distance from the house anyway, so my mom switches between the two of them.  Which one of your guy friends is the best looking? Uh I guess Jez. I never answer questions like this since my circle knows me to be pretty gay, but I’d pick him. What does your car smell like? Still smells quite new. Who could make you feel better right now? Miraculously I don’t need to be feeling better at the moment. Maybe because I’m answering this on a new laptop and this is the only thing I need? Hahaha idk.

Which three people (who don't have a Myspace) would be in your top friends? LOL. Don’t care for this question but funny/sad story: I was having dinner with Gabie’s family last night and we started talking about the old internet. Apparently her 12 year old sister doesn’t recognize Myspace, Multiply, Yahoo Messenger, and Friendster anymore. Times are a-changing, people. Gab and I were horrified. Have you had an epiphany lately? Nah. What color shoes are you wearing? I’m barefoot when inside the house. Which one of your friends is the most brutally honest? I think Kaira beats me when it comes to being blunt. Miracle Whip or Mayo? Whipped cream is expensive where I live and unnecessary, so I never have it. I put mayonnaise on everything. Who/What influences your taste in music the most? My friends mostly. I let them have control over my car’s bluetooth and then I always find myself listening to what they played after the ride. Do you have anything to say to your ex bf/gf? No ex. What's your favorite kind of foreign food? I like anything Indian, anything street food, anything sushi. I’m not a picky eater and WILL try everything once. Except for fruit. In what year will/did you turn 21? 2019. Who was the last person you gave a birthday present to? Gabie I think. I’m not a big gift person though, and instead I drove her out and treated her to lunch. What do you think of the person who took this survey last? I took this survey from the original poster so heh. Which one of your friends do you look most like? ??? I have no idea, we’ve never compared each other physically. Puedes hablar español bueno? No I can’t, actually. I understand very basic Spanish, and a lot of random words are recognized because we also use them in Filipino. That knowledge isn’t enough for me to be able to carry conversations, but I can sometimes understand phrases. Which day of the week do you watch the most TV? I literally only watch TV when we happen to be at a hotel, which happens like every four months. What's your favorite vegetable? Broccoli. Which one of your senses would you not mind losing? Losing any of them would be terrible. Which band do you have the most of on your iPod/music player? I don’t iPod anymore, but I listen to Paramore on Spotify a lot. Which song describes your mood at the moment? Meh, none. There are songs I feel like listening to but no song can match my mood right now. Which movie(s) do you quote the most? None. What's the closest pink object to you? My top. Do you really weigh the weight on your driver's license? I don’t. Do people??? What's your favorite non-carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage? Water. What's the most epic thing you've done so far this month? I MET GABIE’S DAD LAST NIGHT. It went REALLY well and I cannot be any happier now. Obviously it happened much sooner than we expected, coming out and all, but being accepted and immediately given a thumbs up by the only man my girlfriend has ever really loved is my biggest reward. Which one of your best friend's friends would you most likely date? Gabie. Which word do you have the hardest time spelling? I can’t think of any, but I used to struggle with rhythm. Big Mac or Whopper? Baconator. Have you ever been to an 'Adult Gift' store? Nope. What's your favorite vacation spot? I love Baguio as an ideal vacation spot, but my parents have never seen the big deal with it and I’ve only been there thrice :( What color underwear are you wearing? Green. Have you ever slapped anybody? My siblings when we were little kids, but never as like a full grown person. What's your second favorite sport? Table tennis. Wrestling comes first. What are you listening to right now? Just my electric fan on level 3, no music. Where will you be in six hours? Asleep in bed probably. What do you wish you had more time to do? I do have enough time to do all the things I need for myself, but my anxiety comes in and makes sure I hesitate from starting them. Like going out with friends - I could very well do it whenever I want, but I never want to be the one asking them out first. Going out after school and giving myself alone time - I would do it since I get out of school at 11 AM - but I can’t handle being alone. So there is that. Who was the last person to ride in your passenger's seat? Gabie, when I drove her home last night. Would you ever let anybody else drive your car? No. Gabie only if it’s really necessary, but she’s hit her car several times and my trust in her driving isn’t as through the roof these days lol. Which one of your friends will be the most successful? All of them. How old will you be on your next birthday? I’ll be 20 and I am so excited to finally get out of this decade. What store did you last shop at? Filbar’s. It’s a local store that has Funkos, limited edition comic book/TV show merch, novelty items, just about all the graphic novels and comic books you need, action figures, swords, replicas, etc. What is your absolute favorite band? It will always be an absolute tie between Paramore and Against Me!

Thoughts on Andromeda, part six

Previous Thoughts (including some misc. posts)

This update: A rescue, hanging out in the desert, a little romance, and a flashback.

Spoilers for the big Angaran “rescue” main quest, Eos sidequests, Liam’s romance, more Nexus stuff. 

So, I did a dumb thing and wasted a couple of hours.  I decided to do some sidequests on Eos, so I spent like 2 hours driving around doing stuff now that the radiation cloud had lifted.  I even assaulted the big base.  But I felt like I messed something up, by maybe doing something out of order since I hadn’t gotten a story quest to assault the base yet, and got nervous that I may have skipped something important.  So I went back and reloaded an older save, destroying about an hour and a half worth of work.  Then I went ahead and advanced the story, rescued the Moshe and some other stuff and then went back to Eos and realized that I was fine with what I’d done and had to re-do all that work again.  Ah well.  Lesson learned.

How great is getting to have custom paint jobs on the Nomad.  I love this Andromeda Galaxy one, so pretty. I found the one all the Shakarians are gonna use, too, haha.  Also, upgrading the Nomad is pretty great, though expensive on the resources.  

I have really mixed thoughts right now on the Kett and what we know of their plans at this point.  On one hand it’s good to know a bit more of what they’re up to.  On the other hand I’m kinda like... ehhhh okay Bioware... isn’t kidnapping a species to turn them into your own kind like... the exact plot of ME2? And I guess like, one of the overall things the reapers did anyway?  I’m hoping we find out more about like their motivations soon and exactly how this is different than the collectors soon.  And that the whole possible rebellion thing makes them more interesting.  So far, I’m still really not sold on or afraid of these villains

I guess the religious part of it makes it.. a little different?  That’s more like the heretic geth. :v

Jaal being so upset about it was a really touching moment, though.  Big ups to his VA.

Fighting the bishop or whatever?  No big deal.  Easy peasy.  But then the evacuation fight?  I had to do like five times, and barely survived, but I think if I’d realized you didn’t have to kill the first brute first before evacing I would have been okay.  I was swearing at the screen when I saw three of the big brutes at once swarming at me like “HOW IS THIS FAIR?”  Technically when I did evac, Liam was down and so I sorta left my BF behind but since he was awake in the cutscene it all worked out.  I like to think Jaal carried his BFF into the shuttle. :p

I told myself I was going to stick to mostly the emotional choices this playthrough, the most immediately emotional choice (that wasn’t like, evil?) so I left the base intact to save as many angarans as possible.  I feel this probably isn’t good in the long run, but I also like, gave into the protestors on the Nexus and let their families out of cryo... stuff like that.  Defintely going to have a second playthrough with the more logical choices.

Double Drack!  Oof, definitely a rough moment for buggy animations. :p

Not just one, but two gratuitous shirtless Liam scenes?  Bioware, you shouldn’t have! :)

So luckily I’d saved right before this scene, and did it both ways, taking the QTE and not.  Ultimately, I decided Anny would want to take it a bit slower and didn’t do the deed here.  I liked having the option to push it forward or take it slow and keep the romance on track.   I did screenshot the hell out of the other scene, though.

Such a strong flashback to the end of the Citadel DLC.  Look at that crew, aren’t they perfect?

And the plot moves forward!  Nice to have some stronger direction!  Aya is beautiful, I enjoyed running around here seeing everything, and it was great to get a better understanding of Angaran culture.  I really appreciated things like... an explanation for different accents, actual cultural diversity in aliens who all came from different planets, some not trusting us immediately, etc. I like the Angarans a lot.

Also, I appreciate that, although in their faces all the men look pretty much the same and all the women look pretty much the same, there is a vast difference in their coloring (I mean, same pallate, but different details, and several different shades.)  There are also a couple of different outfits for both the males and females, and they’re almost all colored differently.

I also appreciate their music in the cantina, really adds to their culture.

However, seriously, how about more than one VA for almost ALL the Angaran females?  I think once or twice I heard the same second VA.  That really bugged me.

Liam, why do I get this feeling like your impulsiveness and drive to help people even if it means taking matters into your own hands is going to get us into trouble someday?

Seriously, though, I love how much Liam cares about people and helping others. I like that he has these flaws in his character but his flaws are basically “cares too much” “gets upset when he can’t help people as he’d like” “really wants to get to know people, maybe a little too quickly / pushes a little hard”. 

Either Jaal is really misinterpreting our relationship, or this is a pretty annoying bug.  Probably can’t read the text, but it’s definitely a love letter from Jaal when I’ve kept it very friendly but only friendly.

The screenshot is really dark, but that’s ok.  I will say, I liked the son a lot more than the father.  Sorry, but Zaeed has always been, by far, my least favorite companion in the original trilogy.  Sometimes I don’t even recruit him, or wait til near the end of the game to pick him up, and even then will always either fail to get his loyalty or paragon the quest the entire way. Ugh.  Anyway, meeting his son didn’t endear me to him any more, but I hope we see Bain more.

I love the cultural center. What a great idea. Be sure to look up, the ceiling is very pretty.  And visit it often, things change!

Oh MAN this flashback was great.  I loved getting to see the Ryders all together, even for a moment.  And hey, there’s Scott!  He looks worse than I was hoping he’d look when I made him but, ah well.  This is the kind of thing that I wish we’d gotten to see before Alec’s death, but I know there wasn’t time for that. 

I just wanted to take a moment to make fun of this guy and all his crouching.

Ok, that’s it for now.  I still have another post worth of screenshots to make but, maybe tomorrow. :)

Why I fell in love with the fitness industry, and why I now despise it.

First of all welcome to my first ever blog post. This is something that I have always wanted to do for a while but never really got round to it.

I really appreciate you taking the time to read my views and thoughts and if you like what you read then please follow my blog. You can also follow me on Instagram @raw_natty_strength or email me at rawnaturalstrength@talktalk.net

So let’s get into this, why did I fall in love with the fitness industry? Well at the age of 21 I was a rather large bloke. 20 stone of large bloke and not in a good way. I was 39%bf and clinically obese. So what changed? I remember seeing a picture of me on a night out, with a cigarette hanging out of my mouth. I just looked at it and thought something had to change. So I started on a mission to lose some weight.

I signed up with my local leisure centre gym and started with simple things like incline walking on the treadmill and the cross trainer. I realised that I could do exercise whilst still watching my favourite programmes on the tv, but the biggest change was I didn’t have food or drink in my hand. I spent 1-2 hours every night at the gym doing low impact steady state cardio. Yes it was hard. Yes I felt like giving up, but there was one thing that I saw that was making me push through. Results. I quickly lost 21lbs and felt like there was no stopping me.

I started buying magazines like Men’s Health and Flex and notice all the males in there with ripped six packs, defined shoulders, massive quads and like any naive novice got sucked into the marketing. I must have the next big supplement guaranteed to add 10lbs of mass. I wanted this. I wanted to look like the men in the magazines.

I spent thousands on supplements over the years and guess what. They don’t add 10lbs of mass of get you a six pack. You know what does. Hard work, dedication and consistency. Once I realised this I quickly started noticing something. You only ever saw a handful of pictures of the men in the magazines. Even now as I flick through Instagram I see bodybuiders and fitness models selling their supplements or coaching/workout plans using the same few pictures of themselves year after year.

This is why I now despise it. It’s all one big marketing scam. Yes these people do get into that sort of shape but they don’t stay in that shape all year round. They diet like crazy for a show or photo shoot then it’s back to reality. However new gym members don’t see this and this is exactly what happened to me. I trained my star off for 7 years to finally get down to my current weight where I have maintained it roughly depending on how close I am to a powerlifting meet. But that’s another story.

I became addicted to the gym lifestyle. I was so obsessed with my nutrition, that I would not go out. I didn’t see family or friends, I didn’t go to parties, meals or out for drinks. I wouldn’t eat anything unless it was on my plan. I carried on for another two years until I competed im my first bodybuilding show. 16 weeks of pure hell. Hours of cardio, very limited diet and working away from home for most of it.

What I hadn’t realised was I had turned into a self obsessed prick. I was more worried about what other people saw when the looked at me rather than actually having a life and being happy. If I’m truly being honest it probably drove me to an eating disorder. I would literally weight everything that I ate or drank, and I mean everything. Thankfully I saw the light and managed to pull myself out of it. I still weigh most of my food today but I’m in more control of it.

So what has changed? Well I found strength sports. I realised that having a six pack means F**k all. No one will think any less of you if you don’t have one and if they do get them out of your life NOW. I realised that eating a healthy balanced diet is more important.

So basically to bring my first blog to end I would like to say. Please get into fitness for the right reason. To be a better version of yourself, not to please anyone but yourself, and definitely not to look like the models in the magazines. Men it’s ok to have alive handles and women you don’t have to be a size six. Pick up the weights, eat healthy a look great.

Never judge anyone on how they look, just on how much they bench 😉 ONLY KIDDING.

See you all next time. I hope you have enjoyed the read. If you like what you have read please follow me as I’m aiming to add content a couple of time a week. If you would like me to discuss any topics then please get in contact
