Here’s Some Better Body Goals than Hemsworth

Please stop comparing your body to Chris Hemsworth and the like. That is an extreme example of a lifestyle where an individual not only has the time to work out four hours a day, but also has a personal trainer and enough money to fuel an extreme diet tailored to their body type. It’s unattainable for most people. If you ever want to see what sustainable, healthy, strong, attainable bodies look like for men, I suggest you look at stars and heartthrobs from the sixties and seventies, when no one contoured or surgically tightened their abs. Where animation wasn’t used to beef up super heroes, and stars didn’t have to spend several hours every day working out, they were allowed to be healthy and strong without extreme methods. Here’s some examples!

Davy Jones was a young heartthrob in the 1960s, he was quite the lady killer and as we’ve seen was able to do some impressive yoga moves and such. He had a strong healthy body without the pressure to be “shredded.”

Sean Cassidy was a singer and actor in the 1970s who swooned fans of all ages. He’s a skinnier guy, but toned. His body is an attainable example of a skinny buff.

Bobby Sherman was a star and heartthrob in the 1960s, quite the handsome guy and a good middle weight example.

Hollywood and peoples’ standards seemed to have changed now, and you may feel compelled to slave over a perfectly chiseled Greek body with washboard abs and heart shaped shoulders, however the fans and others have shown that you don’t have to have an unreasonably defined body to be seen as hot and impressive. Here’s some examples from recent TV!

First up Joe Keery. He’s a popular choice for young and old fans of Stranger Things, he said that he didn’t have too much of a set workout routine, just lived a healthy active life, but that hasn’t stopped the fans thirsting after him.

Christian Kane, while this is not his most flattering photo since he’s in the middle of a boxing match on the show, is an extremely attractive man with a strong and powerful body.

Cooper Barns is a comedic star who plays a super hero, and has the body match. However, he is encouraged to have a sustainable diet and exercise routine to eat what he likes as well as doesn’t overclock the hours in the gym.

Now that you’ve seen some examples of strong, healthy bodies, you may have a better idea of what to strive for with your own goals, since these photos and bodies weren’t done with makeup, surgery, or editing touch up.

In media, examples of unhealthy and toxic images crop up everywhere, influencing our idea of a strong, healthy body and what is considered attractive. I encourage you to look to more realistic and unstaged photos (as in not a photo shoot) for better examples of what to strive for.

i know almost nothing about naruto but i love that orochimaru is the most genderfucked out of any fictional character ive ever heard of. what an icon tbh

orochimaru has committed unthinkable atrocities but i simply do not care. in fact i think she should have done some more

#naruto #naruto shippuden #orochimaru #no but fr he's so funny #adopted a kid to steal his body got killed offscreen came back just to get his ass kicked and then got brought back by that kid #just so he could talk to some dead presidents #on the way he saw his ex-son/brother/student/minion/husband had tried to steal his identity #and thought he was so pathetic he fully decided to stop being an antagonist #now he lives in the country he made which has been legitimized and is headed by him with several of his former experiments #who appear to be living their of their own free will #and also he cloned himself at least twice so he's got a couple of sons running around #AND he appears to have successfully attained immortality. and also got even younger and prettier even though he's now in his 60s/70s #throughout the entirety of the naruto manga he did not win a single fight. everyone is scared shitless of him #except one drunk old lady with a gambling problem and also sasuke #ino and hinata consider him a mom friend #he has never had a single normal human interaction ever. at least fifty-nine infants died bc of him. the 60th is now his parole officer #no one did it like her <333333

It's not really an ask, more a statement: your Good Omens fanfictions have managed to completely derail my Saturday. They're so charming and adorable and cosy, I have spent the majority of the day under a blanket on the sofa reading. They also speak to my soul, also being Ace, it's so beautiful to read stories without having to skip through massive sections that gratuitously describe sex. That's all. Thank you.

Aww, thank you for this statement! I mean, theoretically you had something else planned on that Saturday (this message has been waiting in my inbox for a week and a half), but I feel like as alternatives go, "lying under a blankie on the sofa reading" is a pretty good one. I might be inclined to do it myself if my house contained a sofa.

Also, fun fact, those wishing to shove All The Asexual Content into their eyeballs may wish to peruse the works of AO3 users hope_in_the_dark and IneffableDoll. There's a bunch of people with a bunch of wonderful ace Ineffable Walnuts stories, but I'm pretty sure Hope and Doll are both with me on the "only writing that forever" bandwagon, meaning a 100% match with Ah Yes This Is The Thing I Was Looking For.

I hope you have a super good next 24 hours after you see this response!

#ineffablefool reply #instantoafsportswinner #also!! dear asker please update your userpic or give your blog a little description thing or something #because at first i super thought you were a bot and was about to block you #if you are in fact a bot then you have attained sufficient sentience to engage on topic indistinguishably from an actual meat-human #which i feel like isn't actually a bot by the general definition anyway #and i for one welcome our new computerized pals #room for everyone in the fandom y'know? #don't need to Be Meat to Be Neat #........or something #sometimes the soft animal of your body is actually written in Python and that's okay

#the rat doing an angst art for once?? damnn #was gonna shove fyodor’s body in there too but i couldn’t get it right and was unfortunately out of fucks to give #anyway this is based on a possible ending to bsd me and dia came up with the other day #basically the classic nikolai-kills-fyodor-but-doesn’t-know-where-to-go-from-there trope #but instead of nikolai’s despair manifesting as just ‘damn. now what’ #he realizes fyodor was indeed not the thing keeping him from his freedom and neither was the government the law society etc #kolyas definition of freedom is being above literally anything and everything that could possibly hold him back #in simple terms. he’s trying to be a god without realizing it #hence why he treats normal human emotions such as guilt and regret for his crimes as chains holding him down #and shoves them under a cardboard personality that doesn’t experience these at all #so now that he realizes he himself is the only thing stopping him from attaining his definition of freedom #he’s like oh shit does that mean the very reason i’ve been living was nothing more than an illusion? and other misc mental breakdown vibes #if you read all that. damn wow i mean thanks #i diagnose you with gogol stan #bungou stray dogs #bungo stray dogs #bsd #nikolai gogol #nikolai gogol bsd #bsd nikolai gogol #nikolai bsd #bsd nikolai #bsd gogol #gogol bsd #bsd nikolai fanart #bsd fanart #fyolai #tw blood #bsd [rat edition]

"Margaret (of York, Duchess of Burgundy) left Bruges on 24 June and was in England for more than three months. She travelled with a large retinue headed by Guillaume de Baume and the embassy included two officials who were well-known to her, Thomas Plaines and Jean Gros, the treasurer of the Order of the Golden Fleece. She received aides from the Estates to cover her expenses with the Hainault Estates contributing 4,000 livres. Her mission had several goals, but the immediate need was to obtain some military help in the form of English archers to reinforce Maximilian’s hard pressed armies. ... King Edward sent Sir Edward Woodville, the Queen’s younger brother, aboard the royal ship ‘Falcon’ to bring his sister across the Channel. It was twelve years since she had sailed to her marriage. Sir Edward had been part of her marriage party and he had won the honours in the famous joust of the Golden Tree. This time Margaret took the shorter route from Calais to Gravesend, where she was received by Sir John Weston, the Prior of the Knights of St John. She then transferred to a royal barge which had been sent to bring her up the Thames to London. The barge was specially refitted for the occasion. The master and the twenty-four oarsmen had been supplied with new liveries in the Yorkist colours of murrey and blue with white roses embroidered on their jackets. The knights and squires who formed the escort of honour wore fine black velvet jackets which were decorated with a pattern of silver and purple. Two residences had been prepared for Margaret’s use, the palace at Greenwich where she had spent so much time before her marriage, and the London house of Coldharbour near her mother’s home at Baynard’s Castle. New beds with red and green hangings had been sent up to the Coldharbour house and the finest bedlinens and coverlets had been ordered. Curtains, screens and tapestries were provided for both the houses, including a piece of arras which depicted the story of Paris and Helen. For her travel during her stay in England, Margaret was sent ten ‘hobbeys and palfreys’ all newly harnessed and caparisoned in rich saddle cloths. The King encouraged everyone to be generous towards his sister and used ‘right large language’ with the Archbishop of Canterbury who failed to offer Margaret a gift. His own final present to his sister was a luxurious pillion saddle in blue and violet cloth of gold, fringed with ‘Venetian gold’ thread.

While she was in England, Margaret renewed her contacts with all her old friends and family. She was received by the Queen and introduced to her royal nephews and nieces. Her youngest brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who was busy dealing with Scottish incursions in the north, made time to come south to see his sister, and the King gave a state banquet at Greenwich in honour of Margaret and their mother, the old Duchess Cecily. It was also attended by Margaret’s sister Elizabeth, Duchess of Suffolk. It seems that Margaret admired the wine, for on the day after the banquet, Edward sent her ‘a pipe of our wine’ valued at 36s 8d. As well as enjoying the company of her living family, Margaret could not have failed to remember all her dead relations. It was perhaps with a chantry in mind that she persuaded Edward to introduce the reformed Order of the Observant Friars into England. Soon after her departure the King sent for the Vicar-General of the Order and offered him a site for their new monastery near to the palace of Greenwich. Building began in 1482 and the abbey chapel was dedicated to the Holy Cross. Was the dedication in honour of Margaret, and does it provide further evidence of her connection with Waltham Abbey? ... Well satisfied that the negotiations were at last completed, Margaret prepared to leave London. She paid a farewell visit to the city where she was presented with a purse containing £100. She then set off for the coast accompanied by her brother Edward who had decided to see her on her way. ... The Dowager passed a week in Kent visiting the shrine of St Thomas à Becket and staying on the private estates of Anthony Woodville, Lord Rivers. These two bibliophiles must have had much in common especially now that Rivers was the patron of Margaret’s former protégé, William Caxton. No doubt she was shown Woodville’s translation of the ‘Dictes and Sayings of the Philosophers’ which was one of the first books printed on Caxton’s press at Westminster. With the King still in attendance, Margaret finally left for Dover, where the ‘Falcon’ waited to take her back to Calais. Edward seemed to be genuinely sad to see her departure and he wrote to Maximilian on 22 September announcing the return of his ‘well-beloved sister’. She left behind her in England Jacques de la Villeon, who was to act as an agent for the Burgundian ally, the Duke of Brittany."

#historicwomendaily #margaret of york duchess of burgundy #margaret of york #margaret of burgundy #15th century #english history #my post #everyone knows about the politics. let's focus on the personal #Edward getting annoyed at the Archbishop for not giving his sister a gift dkjsksks #I wish the York sisters were talked about more; they need more attention. Margaret especially is so interesting #and I wish Edward's relationship with his sisters was talked about more as well because he seems to have been very sweet and supportive #he seems to have involved Margaret in her marriage negotiations and randomly decided to accompany her on a pilgrimage before she set off #she was specially singled out in gratitude & praise after he reclaimed the throne in 1471 above all others. + everything in this excerpt #I recall reading that some positions were granted jointly to Elizabeth & John de la Pole to be held only during her lifetime but idr which #and everything about Anne of York is hilarious. His indulgence of his siblings did not begin with his brothers; it clearly began with her #she was given all of her exiled husband's attained estates to hold in her own right during her lifetime #and the act that allowed them to be inherited by heirs of 'her body' regardless of whoever their father was (lol) #he also seems to have been pretty chill/supportive of her affair with Thomas St. Leger; he and Thomas were certainly friendly #George of Clarence was also the one to host Anne's divorce proceedings presumably with Edward's approval #on the other hand Richard's 1484 Parliament denounced her and Thomas's marriage as one 'made by sedicious means' :/ #anyway i got deviated #I like that Elizabeth Woodville formally received her! and that she and edward chilled with anthony for a week!

#since no one is online i can actually say this #i don’t think bella hadid or kendall jenner etc etc are icons #they might be lovely people and good models but they don’t set a good example to anyone but especially young girls #you don’t have good skin or body because all you do is eat healthy or workout which is like a different conversations all together but also #you have the money and privileges for to attain that lifestyle (everything is so performative to say the least) #i always thought that my younger sister would have a better culture whilst she grows up and was so relieved about that because no one #deserves to go through it and that is making me fucking sad and angry #and i see a lot of people being like it’s the kids / girls fault that they are being influenced and they know it isn’t the real world #even when you’re fucking self aware about everything doesn’t mean you don’t get affected by it

So we all know about the older generation freaking out about the birth decline right? And that one of the reasons has been that they're worried about not enough people around to care for them in their old age.

(Hence one reason why supposedly there was a push to revoke Roe V. Wade because that would magically solve it. [even though lots of women died of birth related complications prior to Roe and now people are literally getting themselves sterilized to prevent that fate.])

But anyways, I have a new theory, it's about real estate. If people are truly dying faster at a significant rate than people are being born, then one, a lot of us will be inheriting property. Two, there may be an excess of real estate very soon, if birth decline trends continue.

What is one of the hardest things in a person's life to attain, property a place to live. Which has definitely been used to control people.

There's also a fact that real estate up until fairly recently was considered one of the safest ways of investing money. Most people would rather sell their home than not pay their mortgage.

What are the two ways that rich people make money without labor or control their workforce (if they're even business owners at all.)?

In interest, via people paying for their mortgages and in owning and renting property. Who's going to bother renting if there's a bunch of houses? How worthwhile will their many acres be if there's a ton of empty houses? Their land won't be gaining value just by existing in their names anymore.

If a true excess of houses happens, then the main money in real estate ventures will actually be in repairing them, maintaining them, and customizing them. All jobs that would be considered blue collar work that actually requires real labor.

The rich people paid various analysts to say that a declining birth rate would make the old people not get care (Which makes sense because the party that serves the richest also tends to be voted for via old people.) So they chose a fear that most of their voters would care about to take advantage of...

But yeah, it's about real estate and banks and not making interest anymore for doing nothing but holding onto resources. Also obviously the less people there are, the more valuable all laborers would be too. When there's more people than jobs, that's an employers market, right? They can lowball their workers and the workers have to go for it because they need a place to live and eat. Where there are more jobs than people, that's an employees market. Where the main negotiation actually favors them, because they are hopefully empowered to know that the company needs them more than they need that company.

#Capitalism #U.S. Politics #Mentions of Roe V Wade #Birth Decline #Using fear of dying old miserable and alone for their propaganda #Real Estate #Property Rights #U.S. Banks #Worker's Rights #The Proletariats vs the Bourgeoisie #Also this is very much the argument about college too. #College Admissions got harder when the average person began to be able to afford to go to college #Because the rich wanted to keep that less accessible... so they had one up on their impoverished counterparts. #But doing so all blatantly went against the ideals that supposedly the country is founded on...so they found another argument. #America is a Plutocracy masquerading as a Meritocracy. #The American Dream sells the idea that if you work hard you will be rewarded and become part of the elite class. #(But we know that's not correct.) #When your body is your only means of attaining wealth... your ability to gain wealth is directly dependent on your health. #And your health can go south by means entirely out of your control at any time. #Anyways there's nothing scarier on earth to those people than a level playing field. #Because it may put their wealth in jeopardy and definitely puts their delusions that they 'earned' it in jeopardy.

instagram is a cesspool but man the irony of seeing a ve*gan claim they have no idea why so many people take issue with them while a comment directly underneath is another ve*gan saying they are in fact morally better for their diet. it's almost as if no matter your personal choices it's always morally bankrupt to police other people's diets and food shame them!

#anyway eating meat is morally neutral. like the act itself has no morallity attached to it #its the METHODS of attaining meat that have morality attached to them but the act itself has none #not eating meat is also morally neutral!!! #if humans are immoral for *the act* of eating meat itself then so are every other predators on this earth #it is morally neutral to EAT #it IS immoral to police peoples diets!! it IS immoral to food shame people!! #any morality points you think youre gaining is immediately negated by contributing to cultures of anti-science & body shaming #this also goes for meat eaters obviously! its not your problem if eating meat makes people personally uncomfortable #some people have necessary dietary restrictions and that's not up to you to argue with! #these are choices we make for OURSELVES and not be decided by anyone else #eating is morally neutral #non rebloggable bc I'm not engaging with any one on either side my opinion is unchangeable #i am not anti-vegan & I'm not even a huge meat eater i am anti-shaming people for what they eat #especially for something we literally evolved to do

thing about terfs trying to make transmascs feel bad about T by going "you're not gonna turn into an anime twink you're gonna be stinky and greasy and look like your dad" is i don't think they get that some of us look forward to that

#i want to be gross #i'm a human being stink and grease and whatever thing you've decided is undesirable is just a natural element of our existence #i'd say something along the lines of it's a small price to pay to get to be who i am #but it's not even a price ! it's part of life. it's unavoidable even for cis women #i'm sorr you've been tricked into thinking that a sanitized version of the human body is attainable #but i'm gonna embrace mine #i'm gonna be stinky greasy sweaty and maybe balding and my piss is gonna smell so bad #welcome to earth ! #i'm also gonna be happy. isn't that wonderful ?
