#as different as dancing and walking

[uncanny-tranny]

Hey, you're being lied to about what fitness constitutes. If you can't work in an hour-long crossfit slog, but you can work in a five-minute walk, then that is still fitness. If you can't use your legs but you can do arm circles every now and again, that is still fitness. If you're moving around at work, that's still fitness. It can be intentional or incidental, but here's the best part: your body doesn't care if you're dedicating specific work-out times. It doesn't care if the "only" fitness it gets is your nine to five on your feet. It doesn't care, fitness is fitness is fitness. Some of us do it differently, but the end result is more or less similar.

If you can do any type of fitness safely, your body isn't going to care if you're doing it like an Olympic athlete or if you're just a casual.

#fitness #gentle reminders #i hate hate hate the idea that fitness must be done Intentionally and in a Hegemonic Way #like... fitness is whatever you make of it and whatever you do #your body isn't going to be like 'well you walked for fove minutes but you didn't do shoulder presses at the gym so it doesn't count 😊' #if you want more specific forms of fitness then SURE you might want to do more specific exercises and activities #but if your goal is overall movement for however much if your body then... you don't Need to be THAT specific #and your goals may be specific for only parts of your body and that's GREAT! #a wheelchair user may for example do more arm exercises so they can use a manual chair for instance... #...and to many people i've noticed they don't think it 'counts' because the chair user isn't using 'all' of their body... #...but it's like... using your arms in non-powered chairs can be really important so like. it's still fitness. #you don't actually have to equally focus on everything if you don't want to or can't #all this to say that fitness is Not hegemonic and you don't need to feel shame about what you do or don't do #even a tiny tiny TINY amount is significant and matters <3 #this is definitely something i've gotten more passionate about since becoming a ~gym bro~ #because you see just how different people are and what they want out of fitness #and it's taught me a lot more about my own disabilities and how i work with (and even against) them to find balance #this is what i love about those fitness video games too! because they're often made to be engaging and fun! #i LOVED just dance as a kid and that was fitness merging with video games (and i loved video games (still do!)) #and i HIGHLY recommend people get video games like just dance or that one nintendo ring game because of these elements! #it combines the comfort of home with movement with engaging music/story/video game elements #and things like that make me believe in peace and love and care on planet earth <<3

sometimes it's super sad going into the polin tag and seeing all the 'Pen is gonna be THE debutante next season' or 'Pen is gonna be the Diamond of S3' or 'Pen about to get ALLLLL the attention' and like

penelope was supposed to be for the wallflowers. the quiet girls. the ones who aren't the center of attention. penelope was never meant to be the heart of the party or the big draw or the one everyone drooled over. penelope was meant to be the character representing all the peeps who stood off to the side and, in many cases, preferred it that way.

give me Penelope going through all these lessons to be more 'appealing' and all the sparkly dresses and going 'actually? i kind of hate this'. give me Penelope dancing the night away with stranger after stranger and cringing about it the whole time. give me Penelope who just wants to go back to her hobbies and her friends and her comfy corner and is tired of pretending. give me Penelope who goes through the tedious introductions and the 'what's your name? number of siblings? favorite color? great. . .' first dates of it all and hating it. give me a Penelope who empathizes like hell with Eloise because she understands now how stressful it is to always be looked at and watched. give me a Penelope who has extra appreciation for Colin for looking to understand her when she was 'invisible' in ways no one else tried to. give me Penelope who gets a taste of being The Star and spits it right out

you don't have to be the sparkling gem of a party to be worth love and care. some of us don't want the Diamond moment. we deserve our flowers, too.

#polin #penelope featherington #bridgerton season 3 #bridgerton #bridgerton s3 #'oh but dolly pen's gonna dance w/ all those new guys and everyone's gonna look at her when she walks down the stairs' #'she'll have the Daphne moment where everyone stares at her and she'll put on the performance and *sparkle*' #what about this woman makes you think that is ANYTHING but a recipe for anxiety? #i would rather die #'dolly it's the fantasy of desire' #maybe her fantasy isn't to be desired by 75 different people on a surface level who don't know her and don't really care to #maybe her fantasy is to be desired by one specific person who recognizes her for all she is (spoiler: it is) #like i get it nicola is gorgeous but pen's not meant to be a knockout in the series

Scrooge, stressed over a disaster of his own making: this is killing me

Goldie, who’s been inconvenienced by it: good, die.

#she’s so loving #and he wouldn’t expect anything different #I mean let’s be honest Scrooge is dramatic (obviously) #but Goldie? #oh she is SOO much worse #you don’t realise it at first #but she is #she makes a song and dance of everything #I mean she is the original drama queen #like you saw her back in the Klondike (comics especially) #she lives the dramatics #you saw how she walked down that stair case #are you kidding me? #are you kidding me??? #she the worst for it #reason 408. Goldie and Scrooge belong together #they both dramatic little bitches #goldie o'gilt #scrooge mcduck #scroldie #ducktales #incorrect quotes

hello scpblr i have risen from the void to bring thee my own personal Shaw interpretation/headcanon

Jack was either placed indefinitely in the freezer or they found a way to actually terminate him.

So firstly, I have yet to figure out how in the fuck this guy got in possession of scp-963-2, suggestions welcome

secondly, I decided to spice it up for -2 to make it work a lil differently so: When the host of SCP-963-2 is injured, fatally or otherwise it will heal the wound, now this has its limits, if most or all the body is destroyed beyond repair, it'll trap the hosts soul inside and basically stay there until another viable host touches the amulet, forcing the hosts soul into the body, replacing it. This makes the host effectively immortal. Now while the soul does get replaced, memories from the new host will still be there, over time with growing number of bodies this would become a problem as the human mind can only hold on to so many memories.

As of now Shaw has yet to experience this, he's been immortal for only a couple months and id enjoying the high of never dying, he's done pretty good at keeping his body intact and functioning.

Shaw is just some guy who likes red sunglasses, 70's fashion, and indie pop. He's so girlypop I love him<3 he's making my brain go brrrrr

#scp #my artwork #scp foundation #dr elias shaw #scp 963 #scp 963 2 #still figuring out what department he'd be in or clearance level and shit #you can send asks or suggestions i'd love some interaction and develop him a lil bit #he's been around the foundation maybe like 4-5 ish years before getting binded by the amulet #I am fully aware of there being a tale with -2 but i'm electing to ignore it for my own personal headcanon #i wanted to do my own take that wasnt just a reskin so different guy altogether it was #and i made him silly #he probably dances when he's alone #he's a walking morale booster #a lil annoying to some probably lol

Am I the only one who GENUINELY loves Paul’s old man singing voice? Like, I don’t know. Maybe it’s not as strong and doesn’t hold exactly as well as it used to, but it is SO GOOD to convey a more vulnerable state of mind, to hear what the core of a human emotion sounds like. Like, I obviously love Paul’s voice ALWAYS, but back in the day it sounded like an “aesthetically” pleasing voice and wasn’t often moved by it (I was more moved by his lyrics, piano, guitar and bass playing). And now I just connect to his voice instinctively.

Frankly, I don’t care that on some days he doesn’t get to certain high notes, or that his voice breaks. Actually, THAT’S THE POINT. I don’t want a vocalist to be flawless. I want a vocalist to express something.

#macca #this might be why I felt so drawn into the São Paulo and his most recent shows on yt #but felt so much less entertained and emotionally drawn to Rockshow #OF COURSE Rockshow is ALSO an awesome show and I love Wings #but old man Paul just hits different #linda like how Johnny Cash’s songs did especially in his last years of life #like in I Walk The Line his voice was good #in American III and American IV he reaches straight through me #the same goes for McCartney III #Dance Tonight just MAKES ME HAPPY #because it’s a HAPPY SONG #same for Find My Way #and Come On To Me #i love Paul’s voice no matter the era ok

okay we have officially entered the Winter Break Is Driving Me Mad zone

#djhahdjhkashdash i have sat still as in not moving as in not going anywhere as in Still for too long #but it's too cold and dark to run around or go somewhere #and everyone is conspiring against me (there is someone in every single room so i am effectively cornered) #i was not built for this i feel like i'm going to explode they should release me into the wild so that i can experience freedom before #my untimely death by nature's hand but it will be oh so beautiful it will be yuri too btw #at least during the summer i can go to parks and walk through the forests or go in the caves or something but i can do nothing #during the cold dark winter #i am trapped in this tiny house with these people and i cannot leave i am going stir-crazy and it has been exactly 5 days since #school has officially ended #mayhaps i shall test if the rock climbing gym is open during winter break #we have one at my school and technically i get free access but i never go in bc i know too many gym rats and i hate seeing ppl i know #in different locations #but damn rock climbing sounds good rn #[insert google search] noooo they're closed on the weekends for winter break noooooooo #and their hours suck noooooo #u know what i may just say fuck it and go to a park or smth we have a hilly one that i bet no-one will be at bc it's fucking cold #i am going to go mad staying here i am going to be sick #where are the beautiful trees and fresh air and sunshine where did it all go why am i stuck in this house #i have no room to move all i can do is wait for the main room to be vacated so i can have space to dance but this is not enough #i need to climb something i need to be given more space to do something but noooooo #u know what i will unbecome nocturnal just to go places during the day #i will go to the sad cold riverside park and i will run from whatever geese are still around. maybe i'll bring a dog #if i do not i am going to scratch up these walls and YES they are yellow but they are not wallpaper it is paint. if u even care

bitches be like "wish i was doing something of worth for society/my local community" while doing three time-intensive community jobs unpaid and walking around as a living leftist/queer symbol and occasionally leaving behind leftist stickers

it's me i'm bitches

#damnnnn i needed to hear that #i didnt even realise until my mum was like biscuit. biscuit youre doing enough. actually i think its too much #it seems so casual i forget that those things do very much have an impact #like im a youth trainer at the local climbing centre #and im organising stuff for the new kids at my school #and im part of a sooorta government project against teens slipping into crime #tho that didnt start yet cuz were the very first to do it around here so no one has prior experience #and yeah im walking around very leftist. like a rainbow and trans pride flag actually #and that does make a difference. somewhat. like maybe you see a fascist sticker somewhere #but theres also people like me and you bet your ass im never gonna hide #and im not getting paid for any of the projects and stuff #...... actually. i just remembered we get money at school. for doing that. but not that much and im doing it for other reasons #just gotta remind myself that i am doint stuff lmao #been dancing along the very last line a while now #snapped today #again #but this time my mum noticed so we talked and now i feel a lot better #and i cancelled stuff for today bc tuesdays are more than packed really #as in i hardly get any time at home packed #but now i di have time. (and homework.) and i feel better #gonna get off that edge soon enough lol #a biscuit's rambles #i gotta get more stickerd tho i hardly have any left

literally to present the world with a better version of you which could mean facing your future and and forgetting past mistakes or finally settling on a brand new path while they both stare at ticket stubs from a film they saw together (literally they both kept the tickets...) and then they promptly throw away the ticket stubs as though they've just been burnt because they catch themselves doing something terrible - thinking about each other. (literally they both kept the tickets but then absolutely did not think about why they'd kept the tickets, because as if they've reached a point where they'll allow themselves to realise that maybe it's possible for them to enjoy each other's company yet. and then them throwing away the tickets is them being like nope refusing to think about why I kept this it never happened i definitely did not willingly engage in recreational activity with dan humphrey/blair waldorf and then i definitely definitely definitely did not keep the evidence it just didn't happen none of it happened i will not think about it ticket gone means no more thoughts on the matter okay case closed moving on time to go visit serena...)

#AND THEN THEY BOTH LITERALLY GO VISIT SERENA #gg voice while dan is walking out the door to see serena “ and forgetting past mistakes” blair looking at her resume blair walks into seren #but a new year doesn' #sn't wipe away old problems #dan&serena proceed to lock themselves into the same dance they've been doing since high school and it's #blair's words that are a significant part of breaking dan specifically out of it #and then blair with her resume trying to figure out where she belongs in the world and her terror at the thought of becoming her mother lea #s to her plotting and scheming for something she doesn't actually want that much #and it's in talking to dan that she starts to let herself make plans for her life based on who she is and what she actually wants to be #rather than planning her future to run from the fears that have haunted her her whole life #it's about how they've always seen each other the mistakes theyve made what they're afraid of #but also the beauty they're forced to admit exists in their enemy/frenemy (depending on the day) #so it's like now they're talking and they're showing each other how they see each other and it's so very different from how anybody else se #es them and it's these pictures that are completely different but completely accurate that help them break the patterns of their pasts #in that the newness the difference allows for the realisation of “youre not what you were” and the accuracy is like i know you we'll show e #ch other what we actually are we see each other #okay now i'm #just rambling but it's them running away from the fact that they enjoyed each other's company and then proceeding to spend the episode trap #ped in patterns they've been trapped in forever until they help each other realise that they don't have to be trapped forever and then they #end the episode beginning to actually face the future and settle on a new path when they go see another movie together #okay done now so sorry this is insanely long help

"No more giving my number out to random people who flirt with me at work" I say as if I'm not going into the next shift with a pen and tissues in my pocket

#sunday i woke up to four messages from different people and half of them i don't even remember giving my number lmao #i wish i had given it to that drunk girl who kissed me in the bathroom 💔 i hope i'll see her again she was so cute #and another dude was parallel flirting with me immediately after she left #sadly i didn't get to/forgot to/was too shy to give them to the two funniest guys but the dj is there every week so there's still a chance #fingers crossed the one who flirted with me who funnily enough has the same name as my ex comes back soon when i'm working #it's so much fun tho!! i have the two security guards hitting on me in a lighthearted way #one of them always insists on walking me to the car in the morning and i'm still waiting for that dance he promised me on a busy night #4th edition of living my best life on saturday 10pm 💅🏻 #jack daniel's birthday party with go go dancers is gonna be wild i'm so excited!! #said guy also dramatically sang along to the chorus of münchener freiheit's ohne dich when he ordered a drink #but i told him we're not serving anything after 4:45 and he kept begging but i still said no bc it's the boss' order #n i don't have the power to make exceptions but it was so funny n kinda sweet i would've given him a lil drink if security wasn't watching #mel talks #i think i need to make a separate tag for bar gushing #the bartender chronicles

AU where Danny develops early arthritis and some chronic pain issues in his left hand as a consequence of the portal accident frying it.

When it flares up, he may have to alter his fighting style a little to make up for it and minimize pain or he may not be in the best of moods or condition. This (and the distraction it may cause) could totally be used as a reason to have Danny get hit by stuff he normally wouldn't. It could even be used for a reveal scenario or to change things up a little in general.

#danny phantom #i have a knee like that from when I danced competitively #let me tell you flare ups and bad days WILL have me walking differently or refusing to use it #id assume it would be the same for a hand #because if it hurts to move or use it why do do #kinda like Geralt's knee in the witcher saga #the books mention it a bit #specifically either when trying to move like he used to ends poorly/in pain/stumbling OR when he has to adjust his style to makeup for it #dude also complains about it a lot #i mean he complains about everything to the point even Dandelion was like stfu but still #point is it is realistic and relatable

[op3ra]

my sibling just sent me someone's book review that sparked a conversation between the reviewer and someone else about [very paraphrased] 'i would love to hear about a society of sentient trains where not all trains feel like being trains and some trains do art or ballet or unionize, etc, and what challenges this poses' because this exchange made my sibling instantly think of me and now i'm having an absolute moment over this because THAT'S WHAT'S IN MY BRAIN. THAT'S THE EXTENDED STAREX AU. AM I BEING TRUMAN SHOW'D RN?? HELLO????

#equal parts laughing my ass off and getting a horrifying outside look at what the inside of my brain looks like #rambles #starex #i feel like the cherry on top is how pearl specifically has a different construction in her skates to allow her to walk/dance ballet #like what the fuck i LITERALLY have a ballerina train

[psycheterminal]

gods I love drawing texture i love drawing velvet i love drawing carapace i love making the light scatter and the shine spots on smooth things

i love fur, I love how it both drinks in and refracts the light

I love that polar bears have transparent hollow hair to hold heat to their bodies

science and art friends 4ever

if you want to be an artist, study anatomy study light study evolution study kinetics

When you know skin is more like a gel you can understand how to layer colors to make it feel realistic

When you learn muscles, your faces will emote so much better and your bodies will contort and bulge in the ways you know you can break the rules instead of breaking them accidentally

When you learn the various types of natural hinges, what happens when muscles are too short and too long or can bend beyond what they should, you learn how to tell a story just as well as shape theory does

And when you're into science and you learn the arts, when you turn your hands, you can understand why weavers used the precursors to the computer, why punch cards were used first, why the first printing press was a modified wine press, why embroiderers and lace artisans were still working in the tech industries into the 60's

You'll find your hands stronger as you play guitar and work at sculpture, you'll find your designs more elegant and more likely to work than your usual brutalist boxes

You'll learn about the origins of dyes and why they're important, why gold is still important to computing, why silver is important to cooking, why it can be useful to water cooling systems

By learning how ceramic works, you build better circuits

And as each learn from each other, we all become better humans because we are different yet each has so much to fucking offer the world still

We are bees, we all can learn of comb, of flower, of honey and birth and dance as we look in awe of the logarithmic spirals and golden ratio and the tragedy of a grave with the wrong spiral on it and why it took a weaver looking at stone age tools to realize what they were for

Humans, a colony of humans who do different things to help the whole

That is the ideal of art. That is the ideal of science. That is the ideal of humankind.

#art #science #up at butts o clock can you tell #isn't the world beautiful though #it's brutal too #but I learned from my despair and my joy and I let them both in and cradled them #and we'll walk forward #I can't leave either behind for different reasons #but we can dance and that'll be enough #because we can see the spira mirabilis

[coachbeards]

the idea of beard having an old, faded kinda rackety pair of crutches tucked away in his closet at all times....yeah. he has had,,, quite a lot of leg injuries.

#you know how matthew gray gubler injured his knee heavily while dancing + needed surgeries and to walk with a cane #unfortunately that would happen to beard #but whenever he's asked he'd give a different mysterious answer #jamie is convinced beard is a spy (ted knows he injured his knee at the disco)
