Hello! May I request a TFA Ratchet x male cybertronian reader fic where the reader gives Ratty a massage and it leads to a spicier make out session? -🌼

"Frag, I'm getting too old for this...!" Ratchet grunted as he sat on the couch made of concrete and rubbed his shoulders.

You immediately took notice and walked up to the old medic. "What's wrong, old timer?"

"One, frag you," Ratched flinched, his shoulders aching, "And my joints are just tight."

"I could help you?" You asked, making the old Bot bark out a laugh. You frowned, "I'm serious!"

"Sure you are," Ratchet nodded, and your frown deepened as you settled behind him and suddenly grabbed his shoulders.

"Hey, what are you-!?" The old medic was about to object but you pressed your servos into his joints and Ratchet almost shouted out when you hit exactly the spot that was bothering him.

"Just!" You snapped, "Just stay put and let me help!"

Ratchet looked like he wanted to object, but you twisted your servos on the tight spot and he groaned as you set to work.

You may not have been a medic that knew everything about Cybertronian frames like Ratchet, but you were proud of your abilities to figure out where the worst knots were.

"You're..." Ratchet grumbled, "Surprisingly good at this."

"Thank you!" You smiled, so happy with your abilities to ease pain, "Whenever my partners would have back pain I would give them a massage and they would feel much better then!"

"Your partners, huh?" The old medic scoffed, "You rub old mechs like me for pleasure, huh?"

"Only the old mechs I like," You smiled right back at him once you were sure that his back pain was gone, you smacked his shoulders and back with your palms, sending the energon underneath the armor moving.

"Frag!" It did catch Ratchet off guard though. You grinned, "And you're done!"

"What the frag-!?" The old mech turned to glare and no doubt shout at you, but once he faced you, you leaned in and kissed him. The medic's blue optics widened, but before he could register what happened, you pulled away and grinned.

"Like I said, I do this to oldies I like," You licked your lips mischievously, and Ratchet blinked in shock. Taking your chance, you ran away while cackling madly and the medic touched his lips before getting mad at you for stealing a kiss from him like that and not letting him return your gesture.

"Boy, get back here!"

"Make me!"

Bear in mind... I never shut you out. I never pushed you away. I never decided that MY political opinion was worth more than what we had begun to build.... and even now, I have not gone... but you have. . .

My first instinct way back was to take a cautious step back from you. Really let the dust clear from your sudden entrance into my life, and really see you, for you.

And so I let you in. I really opened up, but none of that mattered when you decided to put an emotionally-charged hypothetical scenario before and above the kindlings of my love... All of that changed when you CHOSE to dismiss me for NOT meeting you up on your level of understanding, when you clearly aren't even experienced, wise, or capable enough to meet me down on mine. . .

The lesson here, my dear- is DO NOT seek out an older, wiser, more-experienced man- if you yourself are not ready to admit you are just a naive, empty headed, worldly-brainwashed 'brat' with certified shit for brains like every other person your age.

And if you cannot submit to the natural authority of a good man, nor defer to his complex analytical knowledge of the world, then you are nothing but a distraction; a detour from all he could be doing for others, as you waste his time investing in building a relationship you have no intention of actually pursuing beyond the superficial stroking it gives your ego....

[He] deserves better, and so if you care not to value [Him] as he has so earned and deserves in this life, well... stay blessed, and have a good one. 👋

(FOR THE RECORD: You free to go, or you're free to stay. Regardless of what I would choose, it your decision anyway... 🤷‍♂️)

APAC Leads A2P Messaging Market Growth Amid E-commerce Boom

The A2P messaging market is projected to reach USD 79.9 billion by 2030, growing at a steady rate of 3% annually. In 2022, platforms accounted for nearly 60% of the market, driven by their widespread use across industries like travel & tourism, media & entertainment, BFSI, and healthcare. For mid-sized firms, A2P messaging is primarily utilized for product promotions, updates, and descriptions,…

thinking about the expert masseuse Alfred hired for the family that is paid a small fortune annually to provide massage services and ignore so, so many things. No questions, no remarks, just quality service and an ironclad NDA that, if broken, would probably topple said masseuse’s entire family line.

Things Alfred is paying them to ignore, in no specific order:

Bruce’s spinal hardware courtesy of Bane :)

weird amounts of muscle on everyone, even the kids (despite them allegedly not working physical jobs)

scars

FRESH scars

the fact that every joint in Bruce’s body clicks when moved/manipulated at the tender age of 42

Olympic athlete level physiques

rotator cuff injuries across the whole family

scars that are definitely from bullets and/or acid splashes

old signs of what looks like torture (Bruce)

Dick’s entire left arm is basically screws and plates (he “fell really bad” once)

every single family member takes deep tissue massage with max pressure with 0 complaints

calluses

no really, the weirdest fucking calluses

The massage thought trilogy. It starts with a thought I forgot for a second there (about making using a sacred crocodile pond in a village right on the edge of the north of Ghana, West Africa, as an inspiration for an attraction on Sauria), another thought of applying this initiative to friendly Earthwalkers and actually practicing with Krystal.

Magic Massager

This massager is not for everyone! It can cause more pain then good just like other other massagers but then again it can help out a lot.

This massager is great for body pain since you can use it pretty much everywhere. You can use use this on your back, neck, legs, or anywhere you need it.

I personally love the way it feels like its hands massaging instead of just a machine and it gets both spots on my shoulders that hurts instead of just one. This helps out after long days of work or when you just need a good backrub.

It also heats up so its a bonus on them spots that hurts it can actually make it feel good since it does deep tissue massages.

My ankle journey

I am sharing this with all you good people on the dash because I am so fucking mad it took so long for me to learn it and if I can spare one (1) person the agony it will be worth it.

So for like...oh, 8 or 9 months, I've been struggling with pain/inflammation/tendinitis in my left Achilles tendon. I don't know what caused it. It just started up (welcome to middle age, this shit happens). It wasn't severe enough to be debilitating, but it was annoying and limiting. It was also intermittent, in that some days it would be very painful and other days hardly at all. The kind of shoe I was wearing affected it a lot.

Now, I have bone spurs on both heels (it's just a thing that happens as you get older sometimes). I'm also aware that heel pain is usually the result of tight calf muscles that pull and irritate the tendon. I tried stretching that calf muscle. You know the stretch, this bitch right here:

I did it all the time. I also iced the ankle after walking for awhile, hoping to avoid inflammation. Results were...unsatisfying.

I went to:

A chiropractor

A podiatrist

A physical therapist

A bodywork coach

They all gave me some variation on the "strengthen your calf muscle, stretch your calf muscle" advice. I continued doing this without results.

I was getting frustrated, and a little afraid that this was just my life now. Finally, I thought...maybe some targeted massage might help. I asked for rec on a local FB site and was pointed to a woman who specializes in therapeutic massage including cupping, etc.

I went to her a week ago.

She spent over half our first session working on my left lower leg. Within about 10 minutes of making my eyes water, she uttered the sentence I did not know I had been waiting to hear:

"Oh, it's your soleus."

Excuse me, what?

"It's your soleus that's the culprit. It's all tied up and stiff." She started digging into it and I felt literal sparks run up my leg as she released adhesions and got the muscle moving a little. When she finally put the leg down, it felt like it was on fire with all the blood rushing into it.

She said, "You'll need to stretch your soleus. It'll clear up, but it'll take a bit of time - tendons take ages to heal."

But I HAVE been stretching.

"No, you haven't. The usual straight-leg calf stretch only stretches the gastrocnemius, that's the big belly muscle in your calf. That's not your problem. That stretch doesn't stretch the soleus. Don't worry, I'll show you how to stretch it."

My mind is spinning.

So here are the muscles in question:

The gastroc (as the pros call it) just attaches down the back but the soleus runs underneath it from the knee around the side to the heel. The lower part above the ankle is where it typically gets tight and forms adhesions.

To stretch it, you do the same calf thing where you put your foot back and press your heel to the ground, but you have to do it with your KNEE BENT:

The bent knee keeps the gastroc from engaging. It's one of those selfish muscles (like traps) - if you give it an inch, it'll just take over and prevent other muscles from working or stretching. There are other ways to stretch the soleus but this is the easiest and you can literally do it anywhere. I've been doing it while standing and waiting for things (the elevator to come, the toast to toast). You just put the heel back and bend the knee. It's kind of like curtseying.

The minute I did this stretch, I could FEEL where it was pulling on my tendon. I knew that THIS had been the problem.

The massage therapist also told me to stop icing my heel. She said icing is for an acute injury, but a more chronic aggravation needs heat, to increase blood flow for healing. She recommended elevation with heat every day (I've been doing it in bed during "phone before bed" time).

I have been doing the soleus stretch at least half a dozen times a day for almost a week, and the ankle is at least 70% better. It is still a little tight and tender, but the improvement is significant. I think a few more weeks will have it feeling normal.

I am...blown away by this. This massage therapist was able to pinpoint an issue in only a few minutes that eluded all the other professionals I saw. I can't wait to go back to her and have her solve all my other problems, tbh.
