Day 4: Hobbies

I think all three Valkyries love to participate in each other's hobbies! Here are some of my headcanons:

Dancing

They dance to Nesta's Symphonia at sleepovers

You can often find them in the training ring on solstice and other sacred nights, or dancing beneath a full moon. They'll also welcome the day with a sunrise dance, or end their day with dancing at sunset

Gwyn loves a more lyrical/contemporary type dance

Emerie likes quick, sharp movements, like jazz

Nesta, as we know, loves a ballroom dance, whether it's a slow waltz or a sultry tango

Singing

The Valkyries go to Rita's every other week for karaoke

Gwyn, as Nesta guessed, is a mezzo-soprano

Nesta and Emerie are altos

They provide incredible back up vocals to Gwyn's singing

On top of that, they often sing with her when she's doing her warm ups for service or if she's practicing for a new song

Gardening

The Valkyries get together every week to garden at Emerie's

They make soups and breads with the veggies and herbs they pick

They all have their own little plot, and although it's not a competition, Gwyn can't help but boasts when hers yields more

They all wear custom aprons with their names on it, made by Emerie

If any section of crop is under-performing, the Valkyries tend to that section like it was their own child. Sitting with it, talking to the plants, holding umbrellas over it on particularly sunny days, etc.

Other hobbies I think they'd share:

Pottery | Surfing | Book binding

Pottery: Gwyn makes dagger holders. Nesta makes book ends. Emerie makes vases.

Surfing: Gwyn likes a shortboard, better for sick tricks. Nesta likes a nice long wave ride, so longboard for her. Emerie started with a longboard to get used to the balancing with her wings, but is now attached to the versatility of a funboard.

Book Binding: Gwyn loves using ribbons and intricate patterns on her covers. Nesta likes a classic, leather-bound look, giving her smutty books a more sophisticated aesthetic. Emerie uses shiny gold and silver embellishments -- maybe too much sometimes.

Just toying around.

HT-04R Jacaranda Blazer Custom. Dramstellar's Jacaranda pilots were not only concerned when the first stolen designs began appearing on the battlefield, they were also horrified to face custom units that were better kitted and armed. The Blazer custom wielded a dual beam/titanium halberd, two backpack mounted railguns, and a longboard shield.

In the sort of lobby area between levels in-game, theres an icecream parlor that you can buy icecream at with coins. One of the Cutback Crew figured out a little exploit to duplicate icecream. It’s where you’ll usually find the lot of them during freetime.

All of them have custom surfboards, except for chowder, who surfs in his shell. Lex’s also resembles a skateboarding longboard.

Polly had her own spin off game at one point. She actually didn’t like the gig too much- it was basically a reskin of the first game, minus her friends. She did like the brother they gave her, though.

While not a known fact in the game’s canon, in early development, Wanda was male. However, she was redesigned to be female later on- thus making her transgender!

Lex can dance. Like, really well. It’s genuinely surprising. It’s a “peter how are you doing that?” “i don’t know lois im scared” type thing.

Rory’s language is very.. colorful, off the job. Alot of his swears get censored automatically, so he’s worked out incredibly creative ways to get past the censors.

Polly and Lex had a situationship at one point. I’ll leave it at that.

Hey Nixie, can you show us your longboard? No innuendo intended, I have one too and love cruising around on it! Based on your impeccable aesthetics, I'm curious about what's your ride of choice!

these incredibly cropped pics are all I got rn but I ride a custom century 40 I got from subsonic while they were still around, with some boardnamics precision calibers and [idk] wheels. it's a really weird setup but it was gonna become an electric board originally cause I used to build those as a hobby but I ended up moving before I could finish the electronics package so now I just have this wonky board.

Skate AU

Random ideas for a skate AU. Idk i got back into watching skate vids so here we are:

The Koskelas are both skateboarders. Ilmo likes to freestyle and they built the small Watery skatepark. Jaakko likes to skate at the park and do tricks there. Charline has taken on longboarding and likes dancing on it. Charlie mainly uses a cruiser to skate around town and use it as transport mainly.

Saga is a roller skate girl. She loves to skate around parks and takes part in competitions. She's probably part of a roller skate group in her city. She likes to wear colorful outfits and protection gear. Street skating comes naturally as she grew up in the big city. At one point, she convinces Casey to join her skate obsession but he uses inline skates. He doesn't do it often but enjoys it when he has some free time and likes to move.

Jaakoppi is also a roller skate nerd who mainly enjoys being at the skatepark. He really loves vert skateboarding and used to illegally skateboard in the empty swimming pool of the neighbours. Ilmari is more of a skateboarder but he can inline skate. He switches it up depending on the day and his mood. He's a more aggressive skater and has customized his skateboard accordingly.

Alan is a casual skateboarder who cruises around the city with Barry whenever he has the chance to. Baggy and layered clothes remain his main fashion in this AU. He has his smaller, cruiser board for transport but a separate skateboard for when he hits the park.

I can actually imagine both Zane and Scratch being into downhill skateboarding. Scratch wears no protection and probably has skated barefeet on multiple occasions. He's an adrenaline junkie. Zane makes YouTube vids of his downhill runs. His main protection is his helmet and gloves.

Alice is more of a longboarding fan. During summer, she likes to cruise along the coast. She has started her own local group of female longboarders. Besides longboarding, she uses inline skates to film Alan around.

Kiran Estevez is part of a roller derby team for sure. It's how she unwinds after a long, tense work day. In her younger years she would roller skate to work but she can also still be found at indoor skate parks, meeting up with friends and daring each other new tricks. She recently got into longboarding.

for the ask game! 🌈

Hello! Apologies this is wildly late!!

🌈- What are some common hobbies?

We have quite a few throughout the system!

As for outerworld hobbies, we do arts & crafts like drawing & painting, pagan spellwork & divination, rollerblading or longboarding when we have the spoons, and we play a menagerie of video games depending on the member! Badeline specifically is learning guitar, and Pure Vanilla is trying to get us into gardening. We used to be avid readers and writers as well, but we can't take either up again reasonably until we find a medication that works.

Innerworld hobbies are interesting too! Metaphysics is still a big focus, but there's more interest on how spirituality, magic from different canons, and Chaos Magick affect our headspace & system's function. Refining magic & metaphysical tech is a big hobby in headspace. And off of that, just obtaining knowledge/learning in general- the center of the City is a giant library. Exploring is another popular one, since headspace is pretty large and all that ground sure hasn't been covered by anyone. Like 85% of headspace is free of anything harmful/dangerous so it's pretty safe to wander. And for people that want more of a challenge, there're the various floating islands where gravity is particularly sketchy, or Celeste Mountain that forces you to face your own internal tendancies as you climb. We also have a colosseum for the fighters, it has a program set up to automatically rebuild itself when it gets inevitably destroyed by someone or another's duels. Beyblade is also pretty popular!! Some fictives brought it over and the other Croissants will custom make ones for people that get in on it. Casual fights can be in the park or one of the little bowl stadiums but serious battles needa go to the colosseum.

thanks for asking! this was fun to talk about

What does a surfboard cost?

The cost of a surfboard can vary widely depending on a number of factors, including the materials used to make the board, the brand, and the level of customization.

At the lower end of the spectrum, you can find foam surfboards that are typically made of polystyrene foam and coated with a layer of fiberglass. These boards can cost as little as $300-$500 and are a good option for beginners or those on a budget. They are also relatively durable and easy to repair if they get damaged.

Mid-range surfboards, which are often made of more expensive materials such as epoxy or polyurethane, can cost anywhere from $500-$1000. These boards are typically more lightweight and offer improved performance over foam boards. They are also more resistant to dings and damage.

High-end surfboards, which are made from advanced materials like carbon fiber or foam-epoxy composites, can cost upwards of $1000 or even more. These boards are designed for experienced surfers or professionals who require a higher level of performance and durability. Some custom-shaped surfboards can go even over $3000.

In addition to the cost of the board itself, you may also need to budget for additional expenses such as fins, leashes, and surf wax. If you're just starting out, it's generally a good idea to buy a used surfboard or rent one to see if the sport is something you'll continue to enjoy before making a bigger investment.

You also have to think about accessories like fins, traction pads, bags, and board covers, which are essential to keeping the board in good condition.

It's worth noting that the cost of a surfboard will also vary depending on where you live and the availability of surf shops and retailers in your area. If you're looking for a high-end surfboard, it may be necessary to shop online or travel to find the right board at the right price.

Overall, the cost of a surfboard can range widely depending on the type and quality of board you're looking for. Beginners can usually get started with a basic foam board for around $300 to $500, while more experienced surfers may want to invest in a more advanced board that costs $1000 or more.

Looking for a surfboard cover? For your beautiful surfboard, Surfboard Soks has the world's largest range of surfboard covers. trusted by the world's best surfers. Check out the longboard and shortboard covers at Surfboard Soks.

A surfboard is a watercraft used in the sport of surfing. It typically consists of a long, narrow board made of foam or other lightweight materials, with one or more fins attached to the bottom to help the rider maintain control and direction while riding a wave.

Surfboard design is also a matter of personal preference. Some surfers prefer a more traditional design, while others prefer a more modern, high-performance design. The shape, rocker, and fins can be adjusted to match the surfer's riding style, as well as the wave conditions.

In conclusion, a surfboard is an essential tool for surfing, the right one can make all the difference in your experience, it can be fun and challenging, but also with a lot of options to choose from that can suit your needs and preferences.

Do you know what mistakes will a beginner make when buying an electric skateboard?

As a beginner, there are several mistakes you should avoid when buying an electric skateboard. Here are a few to keep in mind:

Not considering safety features: Safety should be your top priority when it comes to electric skateboards. Make sure to look for a board with features such as a reliable braking system, a sturdy deck, and adequate grip tape. Also, don't forget to wear proper safety gear, including a helmet, knee and elbow pads, and wrist guards.

Choosing the wrong board for your skill level: Electric skateboards come in a range of sizes and speeds, and it's essential to choose one that matches your skill level. If you're a beginner, opt for a board that's easy to control and has a lower top speed.

Not researching the brand: Before buying an electric skateboard, it's crucial to research the brand and read reviews from other riders. You want to make sure you're investing in a quality board from a reputable company that offers good customer service and reliable warranties.

Ignoring the battery life: Electric skateboards are powered by batteries, and the battery life can vary significantly from one board to the next. Be sure to look for a board with a battery life that meets your needs and allows you to ride for the amount of time you want.

Forgetting about the weight: Electric skateboards can be heavy, and if you plan to carry your board around when you're not riding it, it's essential to consider the weight. Look for a board that's lightweight and easy to carry or has a convenient carrying handle.

Overall, take your time when choosing an electric skateboard and make sure to prioritize safety, research the brand, and choose a board that matches your skill level and needs.

Over The Skyline: Chapter 1

Ps. This is a story I’m writing slowly and may get more involved..

TW: (throughout the story) Drugs, Violence, Dark Humor, Sexual Themes, Bugs, Abusive Themes, Bullying, Alcoholism.

The wind blows over a cityscape.

It’s accompanied by the winds coming in from the waterfront, settled right next to the county portion of the city.

Smoke blows in the air as Ross skates down a busy Avenue, that cuts to anywhere across the county, as many entry ramps are scattered across the Main Street towards highways and the interstate.

He stops focusing on his skating to look at them, although he already had been distracted, paying no mind to the traffic to his left as he hurriedly pushes his board until he’s at his destination.

The long skate trip was nothing easy, but over the years became more and more like a simple car drive from A to Z, he loved going on these rides, and half the time they served no other purpose but to just keep riding.

He had done that often too, leaving out late at night to avoid the hellscape that was his mother’s house, he even used different terms to describe it so he can distance himself mentally, although that didn’t matter in the end.

He’d done this particular route before, it was about 4 or so miles, and on a good day he could skate 7 miles in 30 minutes which was extremely strenuous even for him seeing as he wasn’t the most athletic, rather his strength, cardiovascular endurance and speed were more or less a result of his determination.

He’d also been in JROTC for two years now, but he’d rather not think about that…

He’d always been looked down upon by his peers, some friends some not, and even his teachers had taken a disliking to him, although partially his fault, he was only working with what he had, given his familial and financial circumstances.

He shook those thoughts away though as he was now a mile away from his destination, home, as he’d come to live with his mother after his father up and left him and his two brothers and one sister. Sometimes it felt like he only had one brother though, because out of the two, one was his twin and the other was 30, and he’d hardly interacted with him ever in his life, only being there to hit him or yell at him with the vocabulary of a child.

Passing a milestone now to his house was a right turn off the Avenue, sometimes mistaken for a boulevard of the same name, it lead to another main road, this one looking far more friendly, yet still off putting if he were to look at it from a strangers POV. He’d come to love getting to this part of the trip, this was where he could get nicotine from the local smoke shops, who didn’t card him.

He stopped playing the music he had blocked out his conscious throughout his mentally exhausting road trip, pausing to look at the song playing, it was “Side by Side - Wind In Sails”.

Ross removed his hoodie to reveal dark dark brown hair, curling on the front and sides, while remaining slightly wavy across the rest of his head of hair. He then dismounted the longboard, letting its wheels and ball bearings have a rest, and then yanked the door to the smoke shop open.

“Hey what’s up, what can I get ya-?”

A familiar, monotone voice greeted him.

It was one of the smoke shop workers, who’d known not to card him, as even though he was underage, the made good money selling to teens, especially with the rise of disposable vapes in 2019.

“Hey, lemme get uh BlacknMild Sweet, plastic tip.”

His voice came out as friendly, a sort of ‘customer service’ voice that he’d grown accustomed to using at stores or with strangers of an older age, anyone else and he’d speak like how he’d normally would, but he’d rather speak this way towards clerks in stores, it gave a more positive, peaceful vibe.

“Alright, that’ll be $1.79.”

He pulled out a 5 dollar bill, and kindly handed the clerk the note, then took his change and cigar and left.

Soon as he was out the door, the friendly facade, accompanied with a smile and light voice had disappeared. He no longer had to interact with anyone, for now..

He took in a breath and sighed before speaking.

“Ugh, fuck this shit.”

In a more fitting voice of an edgy punk 17 year old who had every reason to feel as he did. His voice was often like this, and what’s more, it was often monotone with his mother, sometimes with his brother too.

He had often cursed aloud, for.. really no reason besides being deep in thought about bullshit that troubled him.

“YERRRRRR!” He heard someone yell. It was a way for people to say hi or ‘yo’ in the county of the city he’s from, so hearing that wasn’t all to surprising when he looked up and saw a young male, a year younger than Ross, with a full beard already and a heavier-set tone. He was accompanied by a slightly taller, skinner kid who was actually a year older than Ross, with deep blonde roots and glasses.

It was two of his best friends, they had planned to meet at some point tonight, most likely to bullshit and smoke as they usually did.

“Ayyyy my boys.” Ross said with a more goofy attitude, the attitude he liked to have with his friends, it was something he felt he wanted to be, and over the years that goofiness more or less turned into a supportive behavior, helping the boys out and making them feel better at times.

The three men quickly went back into the establishment to by leafs to roll up with, and after matching their money, got a hand full of wraps and proceeded to walk back out.

“Tonight’s gonna be fun yo, did you tell Mark about the plan?” Ross said, looking at Jeremy, the blonde haired kid.

“Yeah, I told him about 15 minutes ago before we started walking, I’ll see how far he is now.”

Jeremy was more lax, yet had a goofy and fun side to him, but when the boys were plotting moves to make, it became almost like a board meeting with the higher ups and executives at a big company, formulating a plot to get on top of the rival companies. Jeremy was definitely one of said “executives.”

“Alright so what’s the moves exactly, I don’t wanna do nothing all night, or be bored as fuck with no moves?” Said Kyle. He was the heavier set kid, who always wore a flatcap hat, with some sort of skate brand clothes, and Off The Wall Vans sneakers.

“Shhhhtataa- don’t worry it’s cool, we’re going to the Power Plant tonight.”

This is part 1 hope u enjoy, will be updating soon, this is kinda the first chapter to set the theme. I’m sure I missed out some key things but those will get adjusted throughout the story, thank you.

In the wake of the pandemic and increasing concerns over sports-related head injuries, marketing for helmets has surged to an all-time high. Many businesses, who specialize in helmets for sports like cycling, motocross, snow skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, and skateboarding, are discovering increased interest in their protective gear as safety becomes a higher priority.

Helmets have traditionally been seen as a piece of equipment that is merely functional. But thanks to the pandemic, companies are now focusing on the safety benefits of their products, with more marketing campaigns designed to raise awareness of the importance of wearing a helmet. Many cities have also taken steps to encourage helmet use by passing mandatory helmet laws for various sports. This has helped to drive helmet sales even higher.

Helmet manufacturers are now creating helmets specifically designed for cycling, motocross, and snow skiing. They are also offering colorful, stylish helmets that appeal to a younger demographic. In addition, many companies are now offering extra accessories like face shields, detachable goggles, and audio systems that can be integrated into helmets, and this has helped to boost sales even further.

In today’s digital world, businesses are able to reach more potential customers through their digital and social media campaigns. By effectively leveraging their presence on multiple channels, these companies are able to increase their visibility and spread the message that helmets are a vital part of any sport. Whether they are used for mountain biking, longboarding, skateboarding, or any other activities, the message is becoming much clearer– helmets can be stylish, fun, and provide a critical layer of protection from head injuries.

Helmets are also becoming more affordable, allowing more people to access and enjoy the benefits of helmet use. Discounts and promotions for helmets at major retailers create further incentive for people to invest in head protection while staying active amid the pandemic. As purchasers become more educated and aware of the importance of wearing protective gear, the market for helmets will continue to increase, making it an important part of many people’s sporting equipment.
