#me: im built different 💪

[lostandbackagain]

why do I feel like a pussy for being in a head-on collision like im really sitting here embarrassed that my spine is so fucked when I was only going 30mph

[dragoncarrion]

White people are so scary

[manuscript-or]

if i ever made one of those "looking for roommates" posts that had insane standards on it, i would include "do not contact if you get sick more than once a year"

the fandom acting as if kyoshi is the most brutal cutthroat avatar lady there is makes me shudder to think about how they’d react to me as an avatar. and i dont mean this in a ‘ohhhhh im so built different 😈💪🔥’ kind of way, i mean this in a ‘if i was put through what kyoshi was put through my main goal would’ve been to blow up and then act like i dont know nobody.’

[tonoiho]

howdy heres a decent post about how to find new music to listen to, from an autistic person who literally needs music to function most times 💪

spotify based since that is what i use

first off, Discover Weekly (updates Mondays) and Release Radar (updates Fridays) are pretty good if you arent looking for music quickly. i prefer Discover Weekly bc it usually is from artists ive never listened to.

BUT if you are anything like me and kind of need music daily, and/or feel like everything is getting stale to listen to and just is not stimulating enough, theres quite a few things you can do (:

i primarily use Chosic, since it kinda has a bunch of different shit to use n look at

if it feels too overwhelming, what you can do is stick with "Music Genre Finder" and "Similar Songs Finder"

even though it might sometimes ask on some pages, you do NOT have to sign into Spotify for this site if you dont want to (:

using this banger as my control song

Music Genre Finder

figuring out what genres and sub-genres you listen to the most is about to become your best friend ok

pretty much just toss in a bunch of songs you enjoy and take note of the genres and sub-genres. i recommend making playlists of songs with similar or same genres (and also bc its fun)

this one is the most basic, but is a good starting point to help you go down your rabbit hole

Similar Songs Finder

same concept; throw in songs you want more of. i do one song at a time but you can do multiple

theres also this (v), so have fun with that B)

i recommend taking a look at the advanced settings, but for the sake of keeping this post as comprehensive as possible, im going to stick to the basics.

clicking generate will pull up a list of songs similar to your input, available as both Spotify and YouTube playlists to save if you so choose

to make this easier, you can also analyze the playlist songs directly from here; just middle click the buttons to open a new tab so you dont lose this page

Moving on from Chosic to other methods lol

PANTHER. Panther is sooo good imo

this one is artist-based, and sometimes the song previews it gives do not load, but you can simply look them up to listen for yourself in that case.

i will use I Met a Yeti as an example

very simple; i recommend going into this website with lowered volume because sometimes the audio is loud and crunchy; it will sound better on Spotify though

Create Similar Playlist

this is a feature that is already in Spotify, and it is again, very basic.

right clicking on a playlist ofc pulls up a neat lil menu

this one isnt that great, but it works better with the more songs you have on it from different artists.

often times it will add songs you already have saved, but otherwise its kinda okay

Enchance

again, a built-in Spotify feature, however this one might not be for everyone as i believe this is an experimental feature that not everybody has at the moment. still, if you do have it, i absolutely recommend it

basically what it does is add ~100 songs to your Liked Playlist, spaced out every two songs (they are not permanently saved if that annoys you; they go away after turning off this feature)

update 11/11/23

Enhance is out now i think? however it's only for created playlists and not your liked playlist. it still works the same but adds less music. more music gets suggested though when you save them

the Panther site had some issues loading for a while, but it's working again (it may have just been me. idk)

this is all i have for now lol. if you have any questions lemme know (:

hope this helps!

Jockposting :) Lifting progress under the cut 💪

the tldr is that i a couple of months I put 20kg on my deadlift, 15kg on my squat, and I am SO close to benching 35kg for reps I can taste it. If I was in a frame of mind to optimise for recovery and nutrition I'd be unstoppable but as it is I'm just really feelin' myself

I'm on week 9 of GZCLP, a reddit-bro sorta program that's IME extremely effective. Once again, I maintain that reddit is phenomenal for solid fitness knowledge

It's a linear progression program, meaning that you increase the weight on the bar week by week, and it's ideal for novices who're still in the "beginner's gain" stage of weightlifting. It's also great if you're returning to structured programming lifting after a break (me!) but I probably won't keep at it after the first 12-week cycle is over, there's only so much linear increase I can aspire to.

Programming: GZCLP is 4x week, built around big compound lifts in the "strength" range (low reps, higher weights). They're complemented by a medium-rage amount of reps of a different compound lift than the one you're practising that day. So basically, you do big lifts twice a week, but at a different weight/range (called Tier 1 and Tier 2 to tell them apart). Every session also includes isolation exercises in the hypertrophy range, starting at 3x15+.

Jargon: that + symbol means that the last set is meant to be "as many reps as possible" or AMRAP. So if I'm doing 3x5+ squats, I'd do 5 reps for my first and second set, then try to aim for 6 or 7 in my last set.

Progression: You add weight every week to each compound lift; if you fail, the rep scheme changes keeping the volume the same.

T1 (main lifts) go from 3x5+ >>> 4x4+ >>> 5x3+

T2 (medium range reps for compound lifts) start at 3x10 >>> 3x8 >>> 3x6

T3 (back work and accessories) are 3x15+, only progressing when the AMRAP set gets to 25.

The T2 lifts especially are brutal. Because they go up every week but the amount of volume is A Lot. Doing sets of 10 reps with heavy-ish squats or deadlifts is extremely demanding.

Sessions! Basically, each week looks like this

Day 1: Squats (T1) + Bench press (T2) + Back work and leg accessories (T3)

Day 2: Overhead barbell press (T1) + Deadlift (T2) + Back work and upper body accessories (T3)

Day 3: Bench press (T1) + Squats (T2) + Back Work and upper body and core accessories (T3)

Day 4: Deadlift (T1) + Overhead bar press (T2) + Hip thrusts (T2) + Back work and core accessories (T3)

I start every session with dynamic stretching AND core engagement exercises (deadbug, planks, renegade row, suitcase carries) and usually end with an abs + kettlebell swing circuit. KB swings are SUPER FUN, btw. I do them every minute on the minute with a timer, starting with 5 swings then working my way up to 12-15 reps on the minute before I go up in weight. Currently I'm using a20kg (44 lbs) kettlebell.

💪 Weight on the bar! ✨

The whole point of this post was to blather about my lifting numbers so here we go. I started 9 weeks ago a bit conservatively, which imo is better than starting too heavy and going up too fast. I've failed every lift except squats, and that's only because I'm not consistently breaking parallel like I want to — a goal for my next training cycle is to work on lower body flexibility, go lighter on squats and with better form. This cycle is mainly to get more weight on that bar.

Squat

T1: 37.5kg >>> 52.5kg (116 lbs) for 3 sets of 5 reps

T2: 32.5kg to 43.5kg (96lbs) for sets of 10 reps

Overhead press

I failed multiple times here! Why is it so hard to build stronk shoulders, I ask you

T1: 17kg to 22.5kg (50 lbs) for 4 sets of 4 reps

T2: 12kg to 18kg (40 lbs) for sets of 6 reps

Bench Press

Veeeery proud of how this one is going

T1: 25kg to 33.5kg (74 lbs) for 5 sets of 3 reps

T2: 20 kg to 30kg (66 lbs) for 3 sets of 8 reps. Veeery proud of my progress on this one.

Deadlift

Bit frustrated because DLs used to be my strongest lift and I feel like I should be further ahead but that posterior chain needs nurturing

T1: 43kg to 62.5 (134 lbs) for 5 sets of 3 reps

T2: 33kg to 53.5 (118) for 3 sets of 10 reps

What's next?

3 more weeks of GZCLP then we shall see! I'm thinking an intermediate bench program + less volume on lower-body lifts, especially since I'm going to get more serious about half marathon training next month.

chapter iii—godspeed, yuuki!

prev | masterlist | next

you stow your phone away as sensei steps up to the board, a pleasant smile on her face which signifies she's either on her 7th cup of coffee, about to drop a bombshell on you guys, or both.

“now, everyone, as you know the semester is coming to a close, and you will all be starting your final project. we—the teachers—have decided that to make it more fair,” she scowls briefly. “this project will be a collaborative one.”

chatter erupts and you freeze. fuck.

“you can collaborate with someone from a different course, if you so wish, but keep in mind that most other courses have their own finals going on, so i would recommend you stick with someone from this course.”

you’re considering whether you can just half-ass this project—your grades right now are pretty decent as-is—when sensei’s next words shatter your hopes.

“this project is worth 75% of your grade, so make sure you divide the work equally amongst group mates!”

oh, god. you were not built for offline socialisation…

notes!

Fanon win of all fucking TIME is when people started drawing me and Knives with little elf ears, or some variation in the way our face bones sit to look more like the ethereal tristamp!style Plants 💯💯💯

Bonus points for that one post i saw once of someone making a joke about our skeletons being entirely cartilaginous. Like you joke and you jest but I Think Youre Onto Something!!!!! I wasn't exactly an expert on cartilage so i didnt like. Check when anything got broken, i couldn't have known for sure, BUT. That might explain the untenable contortionist maneuvers i was capable of 💪😎!!!

I just adore all of the art and writing that really leans into how we ARENT entirely human... bc If there's one thing thats Always bugged me in scifi media, its when stories go "hey look at this alien!" Like they didnt just put a normal, plain-bread human being in front of me. GET REAL!!! WE WERE BOTH FREAKS OF NATURE AND THAT WAS THE BEST THING ABOUT US!!! It's so fucked that even the Fandom will sometimes slide into this binary of "well if theres at least Some human in them, then we may as well treat them as Completely human, except for Knives who gets to be considered More Plant *only* because he actively rejects the human part of him", which I can see having good intentions but liekkkk....., it's not *true to 'life'*, as it were? We were just like Rem said, another merger between the two species -- Nightow used the term "evolution" explicitly while describing how we and Tesla Happened in a tweet, iirc!! Taking the story and fan content in through that sort of lens definitely makes the extremely humanized depictions of me and my brother kind of disappointing to see. Like... youre missing out on what Actually makes us special to focus on the fact that canon-us are two conventionally attractive, blond haired, blue eyed, ambiguously "white" men who shoot guns real good and kill thousands in sweeping blows? And relegate the plants Entirely to just being Pretty Plot Devices?🤨📸

I liked both sides of me. I loved helping humans, and I loved helping my sisters. It was trying to do that under a hail of gunfire for an *takes deep breath* ENTIRE CENTURYYYYY‼‼‼ That made it so difficult and dangerous! I had the plot!! I HAD THE PLOT!! Call me idealistic call me unrealistic idgaf BETTER WORLDS ARE POSSIBLE! The barriers stopping us are the ones we built around our own hearts, the ones that keep us from being honest and working together our of fear of getting hurt!! Anyway.

Me and my brother were a fair bit less humanoid, from what i can remember. Im just happy to see that idea Spread, to see all the Different ways people can imagine us, thousands of forms and shapes and all the shenanigans that could ensue from them -- even if it makes me even Less invested in the more visually human-y interpretations including all three canons whoa what who said that 💀👌 --Vash the Stampede 🌅

keep seeing nostalgia posts like "remember when the world looked like this 🥺🥺 [photoset of extremely grainy and washed out pictures from a 2005 era camera]" like first of all no tf i dont because that is literally just early 2000s shit camera quality and also the world still looks like that yall are just too emo to look at it with whimsy in your heart. not me tho im built different 💪🔥💯

[deutoplasmic]

AWWW SHY SUKAI,,, i dont trust ruki with hot objects but maybe hes well practiced,,, and shion with a pencil scares me LMAODJDKDJS

yup we’ve got tons of languages!! i only know filipino though bc im from the capital city 😭 but yea we’ve been colonized by spain, the US, and japan its been rough for us. most of our precolonial history is gone and we’re still lowkey a US military asset so we’re real screwed if the US and china go to war

YEA CHINESE NETIZENS DID THE MATH ITS CRAZY the ones who allegedly got rigged in tend to differ depending on who does the math but pick i have who got rigged out is hiroto (who was in jo1’s season and also boys planet and will be debuting soon in nxd) but concerning age,,, cpop isnt too strict on that compared to kpop and jpop. theres still that age pressure ofc but cpop tends to praise people who actively go against the status quo (ie masculine female idols, lolita girls, idols like 胡烨韬 who are as androgynous as you can get) there was even a trainee in 创造营2019 who was born in 1985 and he made it to the finale. there was some criticism ofc but he was mostly praised for being brave enough to keep trying

PLSSS the only was i can justify kyosuke’s strength is that he used to sell wheelchairs lmao im sure lifting wheelchairs into cars takes some strength

junmin!! hes the oldest member of xikers (and one of the shortest lmao) hes so cute tbh hes a bit like a yorkie,,, yappy,,, tiny,,, agile,,, he sings the first chorus of do or die. his voice always sounds like that

yea unis is crazy lmao a lot of filipinos like them because they have filipinos but. other than hyeonju theyre all just so young to me

HFNDJDJDJ HONESTLY I GET YOU if i mess up that far down a project. thats between me and god now 😭 but thanks for the compliment hdnsjsjshsjs

and i gotchu if u ever need to either yap or listen!! i can do both 💪

LMAO our politicians do the same thing dw 😔

also unrelated but someone said rihi looks like wolfgang from animal crossing and now i cant unsee

listen. you can never know how old ruki actually is in this au. tbh he probably says he doesn't know but he damn well does, down to the day and all.... but ok fair :rofl: i cant remember can anyone in jo1 draw????? i can only think of rihito and hes not in jo1 LOL

that's still impressive as hell....!!!!!!!! not the colonising bit the knowing filipino bit :sweatdrop: i hear just about all that's left of old filipino mythos are just scraps which is super super sad.... and yeah no you guys are absolutely done for if that ever happens. prolly become cannon fodder or smth. yikes

DID THE MATHS LOOOOOOOL the one benefit to have been a victim of one of the world's most demanding academic systems :rofl: RIGHT i'm pretty sure china was all over 刘逸云 back in the day. but it's cool to see things like that! most of my knowledge with chinese girls in the entertainment industry are conventionally pretty feminine girls like angelababy and like 白鹿, so the more you know! also 胡烨韬 is SO PRETTY wOW??????? 1985 omg good for him :handshake: nice to see especially when the other parts of east asia think that youth is paramount lmfao.....

OFC and his history as a baseball club member. or hes just built like that. who knows. its his redemption for being in bottom 3 ini quiz score LOL

love a short king lmao and youre so right he DOES look like a mini dog. he's got a set of pipes LOL but i admit i can't really hear much about his voice bc of the distortion :sweatdrop:

wait omg i forgot about that LOL there's like 2 filipino members right. and speaking of the philippines. what is a jollibees ive heard of it but never known what it is

OFC if you cant tell its wrong that closely then theres nothing wrong at all full stop!!! average crocheting experience!!!!!

thank you !!!!!!!!!! multitalented fr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and wow i think its a trend to have incompetent politicians thats crazy :rofl:

oh my GOD actually theyre so right............. wait..................... no way.................. its actualyl him omg

hi pat! i just want to make chika with you. if you havent gotten your booster, for the love of shinichiro's weak skull, don't choose astra, because, man, i feel shitty right now. i just got my booster earlier. and well, i first asked the facilitator there if which one would most likely to cause fever, and they said astra. i was like OH😳. the alpha male😈 in me was intrigued, so i ended up choosing astra. i thought i was built different, yanno? but boy, i was wrong. im currently crying out to michael jackson for three hours already so he can heal me quickly so i can finish two of my physics assignments that are due tomorrow. anyway, i just reread some of your works, and i think i felt energized already💪, that izana fic got me–

hope u have a great day.

Hello py love ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡

Oh gosh :0 idk if im ever gonna get a booster cause i rarely leave the house but mayhaps soon if uni decides to hold face to face classes 👁️👁️ ueueu hope u feel better soon 😔😭 just try to relax and probs lie down a lot. and physics 😵 *pats u* good luck bby, i hope u get them done soon 😣 rooting for u!!
