“She is so going to fall. How many seconds are you giving her?”

Johnny leans against the railing, glancing at your assistant as he ponders in his thoughts.

“I give her about two seconds.”

“Bullshit. Both of you are going to be buying me lunch when this is over,” you chime in.

The two men share a laugh, and the rest of the staff join in as they prepare to watch you fail. Your eyes shift to Johnny when the lights reflect off the diamond-encrusted plate temporarily attached to his front bottom row of teeth. His tongue rolls over his top lip before he bites his lip absentmindedly, watching you as attentively as you are him. It’s a distraction you cannot indulge in due to the multiple people around you and the sudden jerk your body feels when the bull begins to move.

“Thirty seconds, motherfuckers! Pay attention.”

Your thighs clench, and you put on your game face, letting the snickers and side comments travel through your ears and disappear into the air. Your dominant hand holds on with all its strength while your other hand extends outward. You’re devoted to staying balanced because that’s going to be the key to lasting the entire time.

“Look at her only using one hand,” your assistant comments.

“That’s all I need.”

You hear Johnny fake a cough after your reply, and you squint your eyes at him just before the bull begins to spin. The ride starts to get rough quickly but you hang in there. Thirty seconds feel like hours when you’re being tossed around. Once you have a strong grip and a feel of what the bull can do, you’re about fifteen seconds in and ready to knock them out.

For show, you arch your back and smile at the people filming on their phones. The teasing is replaced with praises as everyone starts cheering you on. Everyone except one, who’s looking on with an unreadable expression.

Suddenly, the ride switches gears, and you almost slip off. You struggle as you’re leaning toward one side, and you almost allow yourself to fall, forfeiting the last few seconds before a voice sways your decision.

“Keep going, baby girl.”

You don’t even need to look to know who it belongs to. A switch flips on, and you regain control. The countdown begins, and your burning muscles work overtime to keep you on the bull. When time’s up, you make a victorious but not-so-graceful landing.

You lie there relishing in the cheers, but when your eyes open, you only want to see one person’s smile. However, he’s nowhere in sight. You get and dust yourself off before climbing out of the ring, receiving nothing but high-fives as you descend the stairs.

“Let’s go celebrate girl! You did that shit,” someone calls out.

You agree, but only to get them off your back while you seek out the man you’ve been waiting to talk to all day. “Yeah, I’m just going to go grab my stuff, and I’ll be back.”

It’s partly the truth.

You will be back, but your purse is in the sprinter, on the other side of the set.

Still, you make your way past several trailers, looking for the one belonging to the star of the music video. Unfortunately, every trailer looks the same, and you can only pinpoint a general area of where he is.

As you peek into one trailer’s window, the door to the one behind you opens. When you turn around, you see Johnny standing on the threshold, wearing one of his signature smirks.

“Looking for someone?” he questions.

“Maybe.”

Johnny nods, his cowboy hat still covering his dark eyes. He’s probably waiting for the stylists to undress him since there’s one more shoot tomorrow, but since you’re here, you might be able to help with that.

“I see you don’t have time for me today. But it’s cool.”

You roll your eyes. He knows he can’t let himself get jealous; it’s too risky.

The first time was supposed to be the last time, but a year later you still can’t keep your hands off each other. The industry isn’t kind to artists who sleep with their managers. No one wants to work with them out of fear of messy situations. The things you do to each other must remain a secret if you want it all to last. However, some days are more difficult than others.

“Whatever. I’m going to lunch,” you sigh. “Do you want anything?”

You start walking away before he responds, and once you’re about three feet away, something flies over your head and you feel it tighten around your midsection.

“What the–”

You look down and notice that you’re caught up in a rope. Before you can ask any questions, you’re pulled back until you run into something, or someone.

“You aren’t the only one who’s learned some tricks.”

Johnny spins you around, making you face him.

“Don’t be like that. You know I like teasing you,” he reasons, but you don’t want to hear it.

He knows you’re sensitive about this stuff, seeing many of your colleagues' reputations ruined for the same thing you’re doing with him.

“It’s not funny, though.”

Noticing the small pout on your lips, Johnny gives the rope enough slack for it to fall and he pulls you in for a hug. His chin rests on your forehead, keeping an eye out for anyone and listening carefully for footsteps.

“You’re so worrisome,” he sighs, caressing your back. “I was just trying to have a little fun with you.”

“Fuck off,” you murmur into his jacket.

Your cheek presses against his bare pecs, and you find comfort in the warmth of his sun-kissed skin.

“Woah. You’re so mean. I just figured since you liked riding that bull so much, maybe you’d want to go for a real ride.”

Your head lifts and moves away from his chest so you can look at him. “What?”

“Oh, now I have your attention, hm?”

His smirk grows into a smile and reveals his mouthpiece. It shines even brighter when he takes off his hat and places it on your head. Johnny gestures towards his trailer and winks at you.

“Let’s get it, cowgirl.”

Seated on Johnny’s lap, your hand grasps the gold links around his neck while you grind against him. Both of you panting and sweating, the world doesn’t even exist at this moment.

“So good for me,” he growls. “How am I supposed to leave you alone?”

His nails dig into your flesh as he holds your globes within his grasp, wanting to be as close to you as he physically can.

“You don’t. Problem solved.”

You start to move more swiftly, feeling a familiar sensation creeping inside your gut. Johnny’s dick enters your womb each time you land on his hips, leaving you gasping and moaning louder than you should be.

“Yeah? So that means you’re mine, right?”

“Fuck. Johnny.”

The way his lips curl into a grin when you cry his name leaves you shivering and begging him.

For what, is unclear to you, but all you know is that you want him badly.

“Yeah, you’re mine,” he states confidently. “Open your mouth.”

He’s right about that. You are.

Whatever he wants, he gets it—because he never holds back when pleasing you.

Your lips part enough for you to stick out your tongue. He wastes no time shoving his fingers deep inside and spitting into your crevice. Two of his digits push his saliva deep into your throat, making you gag around them. You stare at him through your watery eyes, your damp lashes, and fresh tears blurring your vision. However, you can still make out the pleased expression on his face.

You purposely clench around him, and his hips buck off the couch. Johnny then grabs your waist, halting your movements while he speaks.

“I see how you wanna play. Turn around.” You lift yourself slightly, keeping him inside while you turn in the opposite direction. As you find the right position, Johnny slaps your ass, making you squeak in surprise. He kneads the flesh tenderly, giving it a firm but gentle squeeze of appreciation. “Let’s see how long you can stay on this ride.”

As soon as you start to ride his cock, Johnny begins to thrust into you, nearly bouncing you off of his lap. His toned thighs make it difficult for you to control the pace, but with a hand holding onto his leg, you’re saved from falling on the floor.

Once you’ve gotten accustomed to the way he’s slamming into you, you’re able to regain control. You arch your back and place your free hand on top of his hat sitting on your head. The sounds that begin to leave your lips become feral, and you can hear Johnny’s grunts turn into moans and gasps. He’s close, and so are you. You decide to make the last seconds count.

“You feel so good,” you purr. “Do I feel good, Johnny?”

He throws back his head and whispers a few expletives.

“You feel like heaven, baby. You already know.”

You whimper in response, his deep voice soothing to your ears.

“So wet, so tight. You know how much I love this pussy.”

“Fuck!”

“What’s wrong? Need to come?” he quizzes.

“Can I? Please.”

Your raspy cries fill the room just like the lewd noises produced by your arousal squelching between your thighs. Johnny ceases his movements and allows you to chase your own release while he watches in awe. He holds your waist to support you and guide you because your body is moving faster than your mind can keep up with.

“Get you one, cowgirl. You deserve it.”

When those words leave his lips, your sense of reality disappears. Everything grows white, and you have no control over your body. Your orgasm takes your breath away, leaving you struggling to catch your breath. A shockwave ripples through you, and the sensation is intoxicating.

You can hear Johnny’s groans as he tries to hold on, but the warm feeling of your walls pulsing around his cock is almost unbearable. His cock twitches inside of you as you ride out your high, but he hangs on until you’re flopping forward on your face.

Johnny quickly gets up, and removes the condom, so he can shoot his load all over your ass. Hot ropes of his cum paint your skin, but you’re too out of it to complain about being sticky.

“Are you okay, baby?”

You sigh. “I am.”

“Alright, well you should probably–”

Johnny's phone rings, and he walks across the room to check it. He answers it and puts it on speaker, so you assume it’s important.

“Yeah?”

Fuck. It’s your assistant looking for you.

“She’s in my trailer,” Johnny explains.

You immediately sit up and look at him with wide eyes. Why would he say that?

“She’s embarrassed because she got sick from that bull ride. You’ll have to take lunch without her.”

You exhale and relax your body, sinking into the couch.

“That was too close,” you whisper.

Johnny throws you a wink, and you respond with a small smile. They’d probably have a million questions had he not thought of that response so quickly.

“Yeah, she’s going to get back to the hotel in the sprinter with me, but I’ll make sure she’s okay.”

When the call ends, Johnny joins you on the couch. He wipes the cum off of your skin and tosses the shirt on the floor before he speaks.

“So,” he begins. You turn so you can see his face. “We have the rest of the day together. What are we doing?”

You shrug.

“I don’t know. Maybe we can…”

You grab his arm and pull him on top of you. Your lips graze his ear, and he shudders.

“What are you thinking?” he asks.

Smirking, your fingers dance up his biceps.

“Maybe we can take a nap?”

“Now, that’s hot.”

“I know, right?” you giggle.

When silence takes over, you play in Johnny’s hair as he hums.

“You think they’ll notice if that hat goes missing?”

His question makes you roll your eyes.

“I fucking hate you sometimes,” you respond. “But, no. They have several because they know how you are.”

You return to twirling his strands between your fingers, enjoying the post-orgasm quality time until he ruins it once again.

“Good. I wonder if it’ll stay on while I’m fucking you from the back.”

Honestly, as long as he shows you what other trick he’s learned with that rope, he can do anything he wants with you.

Astro Observation: If you have a Mars in:

-Pisces

-In Venusian signs: Taurus and Libra

-The 12th house

-In a Pisces degree (12°, 24°)

-In the 4th house

-In Cancer

-In Cancerian degrees (4°, 16°)

-In aspect to Moon, Neptune, or Venus

-Consider incorporating a lot of yoga, pilates , or barre in your workout routine. Mars rules over exercise, but Neptune, the Moon, and Venus are not the ones for harsh exercise (or harshness in general). After years of on and off working out, I realized yoga & pilates were the kinds of workouts I could continuously do and increasingly advance in. I never gave up on those kinds of workouts because it felt more natural to my body.

-I also believe that since these placements are mostly intuitive, spiritual signs, what better way to be healthy than to do a routine that is not only is healthy but is known to spiritually ground you (ex: Yoga). I would also throw Taurus in here because they are also in tune with nature, but ofc on a more physical aspect. Still, exercise is physical.

-Mars in Libra would really benefit from having a workout buddy or a personal trainer 🏋🏾‍♀️!

-And btw, yoga and pilates are not “easy” at all. It’s an amazing way to build, tone, and strengthen your body. Until you can do a handstand without the wall, you don’t need to hate on anyone’s workouts. Just a quick note. 🤣

Staying Awake!

The name can be misleading. It sounds like being aware of your environment but no. This post is literally about staying awake. Obviously not during the day but at night.

Let's say you have a lot of work to do and you want to stay awake all night but it is really hard for you even with coffee.(You will be very happy to know that there are ways to stay awake without coffee and even better ways.) You might deduce that I am writing this post while trying to stay awake all night and yes, you are right. Let's see what we can do for long night study sessions.

Coffee is one of the best drinks for a lot of people. It can help you stay awake and be more focused. But if you use it wrong, it can cause even more sleep and you would just consume coffee for the sake of consuming. Let's see some ways to use coffee.(Or any drink that has caffeine.)

1-How to Use Caffeine

First, we have to understand how it works. Normally, when you don't ingest caffeine and stay awake for long hours, adenosine will interact with receptors in your brain and make you sleepy. So, if you want to block adenosine and stay awake for long hours, you would ingest caffeine and that way adenosine won't interact with receptors. But after caffeine starts to decrease, adenosine will come at once and it will make you sleepy very fast. Especially if you ingest caffeine after you wake up. So, what can we do about that?

Don't ingest caffeine in the first 90-120 minutes after waking up. This will help you to avoid afternoon crashes and you will get more benefits from caffeine. Also, if you use it frequently caffeine won't be able to block adenosine so, you would just ingest caffeine and wouldn't get any benefits. For that, you can take a nap in the afternoon and then ingest caffeine.

2-Movement

If you just sit all night and try to stay awake, that would be very hard because your body wouldn't get any signal to stay awake. You have to move regularly, even if it just means you take a 5-minute walk. Walk, run, do some push-ups, boxing etc. Just move. You will be more energetic and focused.

3-Handstand

I would like to write it separately because it is an amazing tool. You can do it on the wall or free. It increases the blood flow to your brain and that way all of the blood on your legs from sitting for long hours spreads through your body. Eventually, it increases focus, energy and overall mood. Give it a try when you feel sleepy and you will see the power.

4-Do not eat too much

If you eat too much, your body creates signals for sleeping and it becomes very hard for you to stay awake. If you have to eat, choose some snacks rather than a whole meal. Fruits and protein bars are very effective choices. They also consist of healthy sugar so your brain will get some glycogen and work more efficiently.

5-Taking Breaks

If you feel tired after working for so long, take some breaks. But be careful when you lie down because you can fall asleep. To avoid that, before lying down, do some exercise and use alarms. Your purpose is not to take a nap but rather to rest your brain, eyes, ears and other body parts you have at your disposal.

There are a lot of amazing tools you can use but to keep it short, I will share them in separate posts. Try these and see how it goes. If you have any questions, send them. For now, that's all. See you.

Hey love! Wanted to pop in and say I fucking love the shit you post, it gives me life honestly even when everything is rough rn. But I wanted to ask how our beloved batches react and or join in to their SO who is a dancer. But instead it’s a different style for each such as Tango for sweetly techy, ballet for Crosshair, Pop/Hiphop for Hunter, 1950s (correct me if I’m wrong) swinging for wrecker, and jazz for echo. I’d just die from having a SO who is a dancer since I myself can no longer do it to medical stuff, but once again I love you and I hope to see more of your work! MUCH LOVE ❤️

Thanks you for the request and kind words. So sorry this has took forever! It’s been lost in my drafts ☹️♥️ enjoy @nativeomega369

All Bad Batch Boys X GN!Reader

You were a dancer before you met your significant other and you were eager to show them exactly what you can do.

warnings: none, fluffy goodness

A/N - I am in no way shape or form a dancer so please don’t be an arse if I don’t know all the technical terms to some dances. I’m allowing my love of Strictly Come Dancing to give me ideas.

Masterlist

🪩 Echo

Jazz

When he first ever saw you perform he was enamoured and fell hard and fast.

You were a show performer at one of the Jazz themed bars they have on coruscant and one of the main leading dancers.

From the way your expressions shifted with every move, how you could elegantly yet powerfully walk with your shoulders rolled back… it was magnificent for him and he had to ask you out.

Unfortunately due to his accident, his confidence dwindled. Often he would have joined in dancing with you when you were both alone years ago and he actually became rather good at dancing. For now however, he was just fine watching you with a satisfied grin on his face.

“You’re amazing, mesh’la.”

You’re hoping one day he will dance with you again.

🪩 Hunter

Hip Hop

When you first approached Hunter about incorporating dance into his fitness regimes he thought you were joking. However when one day you brought out a radio Tech created and played some lively hip hop music he realised how little you were joking.

“I don’t dance.” He tells you with his arms crossed and you can only grin and shake your head at him at how easy it is for him to dismiss ideas.

“Well it’s a good job I used to. Watch me and just copy.” So he takes a step back and watches you. Admittedly, he thought you were going to make a fool out of yourself. Since you were not very hand-eye coordinated and had walked into too many walls to count, he was expecting a disaster.

How wrong he was.

Your body was locking in places he didn’t know you could lock, he watched in sheer amazement as you managed to (on beat to the music as well) roll up into a one handed handstand. All the while you looked so good doing it. Once the song ended, you turned to him to see his mouth hanging wide open and stuttering over his words.

Eventually he managed to say, “I didn’t know you could move like that.” He gapes at you, watching you brush the sweat off your brow and he could hear how fast your heart had accelerated.

“I’m a little rusty but I feel so pumped! You sure you don’t want to try and dance with me?”

After what he witnessed and very doubtful he could be as good as you, he saw the benefits and joy in it so from then on merged some hiphop dancing with you into his morning workouts.

🪩 Wrecker

Swing

It was such a joy for you when Wrecker said he wanted to try and learn dancing with you. He knew you could dance and had seen you dance with your dance partner back on your home planet so he wanted more than anything to learn with you.

He told you that ‘since you’re coming with us, I don’t want you to stop dancing forever!’

As Wrecker was a gentle giant, with you anyway, it was not really a surprise that he was considerably flat footed and would stomp his feet when he danced. He would grumble how he didn’t know the difference between a rock step and a triple step and would curse at himself when giving you the wrong hand. But you never complained. You were just lucky to have someone dance swing with you.

He was eager to try and do some lifts with you but you had a feeling it was to show off his strength more than anything. You felt safe with him, of course, but you certainly would not attempt these lifts in front of others as it could be dangerous and very embarrassing if he were to drop you.

His favourite dance move was doing a back to back lift/flip with you. There was something fun in him being able to lift you backwards and flip you over his head carelessly because he knew you would be able to make it look good and it wasn’t majorly dangerous.

🪩 Crosshair

Ballet

He’s not a dancer and did not care for it. Until he met you.

Crosshair never knew you could dance until he walked in on you with a pair of headphones on doing the most mystical looking spins and elegant jumps he had ever seen. At the time you weren’t dating so he teased you a little for ‘prancing around’ but he had secretly hoped he would walk in on you dancing again.

When you did start dating you did ask Crosshair if he would ever do Ballet with you and he practically scoffed in your face. Whilst your face dropped he panicked at how rude he was and apologised. “I’m sorry cyare, it’s just not something I would be interested in.”

It did sting a little and thought it was a shame since Crosshair had the perfect lean and tall physique for a ballet dancer. But, you never stopped from doing your love of dance. After all, you had trained on your home planet for years and years. Why stop now?

One evening you’re all staying in a rather luxurious hotel on Naboo thanks to a mission going amazingly well and you were in awe to see that it had a theatre room with a large stage where they would sometimes put on shows.

Now, you’re a mischievous one and snuck out of yours and Cross’ room that night and swiped up your ballet slippers and clothes and headed straight to the stage.

Crosshair had stirred awake once he heard the door close to the room and he waited a few minutes before following after you, curious as to where you were going.

He pauses outside the door to the theatre room once he hears classical music playing from within. He had not seen you dance since he walked in on you that one time months ago so was more than eager not to get caught.

As he watches you once he sneaks in, he’s in awe. If he is to be honest as well, he is quite emotional.

You looked so elegant that you made every move so effortlessly. Although he didn’t want to take part in it he had heard you talk about different positions such as pirouettes and arabesques. He thought they sounded silly but he didn’t realise how difficult they looked either. The sheer strength in your core and feet were second to one and once the music ended and you stopped, he made his presence known by clapping aloud.

You’re startled and almost horrified until you realised it was Crosshair who had been watching you from the back.

“You’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”

🪩 Tech

Tango

“What are you watching, darling? Is that you?” Tech didn’t mean to pry into your personal space but when he sees you watching a dance clip on your holopad and sees you, he’s widely curious.

You smile and nod. “It is. I used to dance back home.”

“I was not aware you were a dancer. A seemingly good one at that.” He compliments, pushing his goggles up the bridge of his nose as he leans over your shoulder to watch.

“Thanks Tech. I miss it.”

He raised a brow at you. “Why do you not continue?”

“Nobody to dance with. The Tango isn’t so great to dance if there’s only one of you.” You sigh, clicking off the video and placing it back on the control panel before standing. “Anyway, I’m too busy looking after you lot.”

Tech watches you leave and in an instant hatches up a plan to make sure you continue to do the thing you love.

When you’re about to head out for a mission, Hunter pulls you aside and tells you that you and Tech need to do repairs to the ship.

“But we did it yesterday? What could have possibly been broken now?” You frown, crossing your arms.

“The uh, hyperdrive is faulty. We’ll be back soon anyway.” He tells you and by his tone you know he’s up to something.

So, you let him go and join Tech up in the cockpit once called for help.

What you weren’t expecting however was to see him suited up and had a hand outstretched to you. You’re almost shocked for words.

“W-what are you doing?” You question with slightly wide eyes.

“I am hoping you will accompany me while dancing the Tango with me. Albeit I’ll need some lessons and advice on how to perform. Research has left me confused as there appears to be more than one type of dance.” He explains and you’re almost overcome with emotion.

Gladly, you take his hand. “You want to dance with me?”

“I don’t see why not? I am interested in your hobbies just as much as you are in mine.” He grins, pulling you close and straightens his posture. After all, he did his research. “So, where do we begin?”

You’re surprised to say the least but pleasantly. Alas, you put him in the correct hold and for some reason being pressed to him sent chills up and down your arms. You never thought this would interest him so you were happy to see him take note of your words and move with you.

With a renowned new power and stride, Tech felt his confidence increase with every step and once you applied music to the lesson, he only realised how sensual the dance was as well.

He couldn’t help but gaze at your face, so strong and powerful looking that it was extremely attractive. You allowed him to caress your body, his breathing getting a little ragged as you both expressed your seeming emotions in synchronised movements.

As the music descends to its finish, your arched your back and elongated your straight leg back as Tech kept a protective hold onto you.

“You’re a good teacher, darling.” He says breathlessly, pulling you back flush to him and you peck him on the lips, grateful.

“And I have a mighty good student.”

Requests are Open. Please read my Masterlist at the bottom to see what I won’t write about to avoid disappointment. Please also tell me if you’d like female, male or gender neutral reader and if you’d like NSFW or SFW. Thanks ♥️

Scp au brain drabble ftw

No idea if or where the others would fit into this yet

Vio's been in the facility since he was very small (maybe HE'S an SCP??) Very smart retains info like a sponge. Aptitude for biological anomalies and chemical make up DNA ECT. He could recite chemical formulas like a textbook.

Shadow is very very very old. From imprisoning war old (current era after totk kinda? Idk def high tech enough to run these sort of facilities) deals with it by being childish/impish. When alone with Vio shows his more mature side rarely. Usually a few hours deep into co research and development.

049 ish. Instead of a zombie virus he spreads malice by touch, can use shadows around him ECT. Is there willingly. Mutual benefits. He gets to live, has a mostly safe environment where he can't accidentally cause an apocalypse, and gets unrestricted access to whatever research regarding malice he wants or needs. (Test subjects of criminals on death row situation, not that that occurs very often)

Vio has been in contact with him since he started there but has always clicked with him. Shadow v fond of the little "hylian" (again, possibly an SCP idk yet). Flirts constantly. Sometimes in an ancient language Vio is obsessed with cracking (lorulian p much)

If Vio ever figures out what he's actually saying he would die of embarrassment. It's actually very cliche and romantic. Vio tends to get the gist of his tone though.

(side note flirting obviously starts at an appropriate age this shit takes place when he's like mid 20s to 30s)

Basic structure of plot would be Vio was escorting Shadow (who he gets in trouble for naming Shadow instead of his SCP number constantly) to some kind of lab? Testing chambers? And they're going over the sky walks when a breach occurs and shakes the whole ass building. Shadow (maybe doing smth stupid to show off? Balancing on the rails, handstand near the edge, whatever)

He falls and out of pure instinct Vio grabs him bare handed like touching his bare skin on his arms to haul him back up.

Shadow is freaking the fuck out because 1: just saved his life and 2: just touched him! Bare handed! No gloves!

And Vio's fine. Totally panicking right now but fine.

He's put into quarantine with Shadow for 2 weeks in his room to see if anything changes. Shadow touches him like hourly. Mans hasn't touched bare skin in decades. And never someone who stayed alive.

Cheek caress, face touch, checking his pulse, feeling his temp on the back of his neck and forehead. Literally any excuse to touch him. Obviously eventually a kiss too. (Maybe no cams allowed in his bed area?)

Idk if he would have an immunity to malice or is like an SCP type that malice would have no effect on?

That's all I have for now :3

I wish commentators would stop saying judges can’t see leg separations on bars (when the gymnast’s hips are parallel to the bar, particularly for handstands and shaps). I know the rules say the benefit of the doubt goes to the gymnast when judges can’t be 100% sure, but it’s also evident that ncaa judges arent taking some of the deductions that we know they can plainly see lmao

---- Summary ---

Officer Violet wishes to talk with Itadori after what she just learned. How would this go? While they talked, Megumi and Kisho have the cell to themselves so how are they're going to spend their night without Itadori? Also, Kinie Ger is now eating dinner with Sukuna. Meanwhile...Oblivion goes to call in a favor to find more about Yuuka.

How would everyone's night turn out?

-----

Jinx thought of leaving Itadori alone. Maybe like two hours or maybe the night. An hour has been passed and it is still making her upset. She doesn't know why she's upset. But there's something about what Kisho and Megumi told her. She takes a water break and was now mulling over her thoughts. But now....she needs to say this. She has to or else...or else! Ugh! Time to go back and tell him!

Walking back to the cell where Itadori is being confined. She takes a breath and says her name.

"Itadori..."

"Hm?"

Itadori is in his cell while he is doing handstands inside his cell. Jinx gulps as she sees the back muscles, abs and alethic body with a light sheen of sweat.

Jinx takes a breath. You can do this, Jinx. You can do this.

"Yes? Officer Violet?" Itadori pauses on his handstand as he looks at her through the rectangular window.

"Why didn't you tell me that the other prisoner provoked you?" She asked.

"It doesn't excuse what I did," Yuji said simply as he continued his handstands before doing push-ups. Jinx sighed. "I know but he said other things that must of set you off. I'm going to be honest...but I don't take you for a person that goes off at every little thing like Bakugo does."

Itadori doesn't respond.

"Why did you help me back there?"

"Huh?" Itadori said as he was now sitting and was about to do crunches. Jinx reiterates, "You helped me fight against Akane and Snake Woman? Why? You could have left me and made a break for it. What's the reason?"

"There's no reason...I just do it because I felt like it." Itadori said. Jinx isn't convinced, "Is that all? So what you did at lunch is no reason for all?"

Feeling a bit frustrated, Itadori sighs. "Officer Violet, I did it because you were having trouble fighting against that lady, and her snake demon. And you were watching over me since you're in charge of me so you're just doing your job. It was the right thing to do."

"Right thing to do?" Jinx repeated. Itadori raises, "Yeah. I meant I say back there. To be honest, you got a good fighting style but you're having trouble so that's why. "

No response.

Itadori waited for a response but got nothing. This got him to raise a brow, "Officer Violet?"

Still no response.

"Jinx?" He said his first name. Then a sound is heard. The door begins to unlock and soon, Jinx opens it as the cap and hair hide her eyes as she begins to walk over to Itadori. Itadori is now standing tall as he looks over to her.

"Don't....lie to me." Jinx begins, "You did it because of me!" Jinx yelled, closing her fist. "Your friends told me why you did it! They said that one of the prisoners that if they win the fight, they're going to make you serve them and bring female guards, they even mentioned me by looks. You fought the Snake Devil because of me! Besides...why do all that! Especially after meeting your lawyer?! Especially pulling that on me!" Jinx said now upset.

"Why are you trying to say?!" Jinx said, "Besides...I'm strong enough! I am! So strong that I can even take what you give out? Like..like...the other night! So stop underestimating me, Yuji Itadori!" Jinx said as she looked red in the face.

As she said all this, she didn't even look up to Yuji Itadori until she felt a hand taking her cap off and patting her head. "I don't underestimate you. In fact, I kinda like you a lot seeing you fight. But I don't want to see you get hurt. It makes me not want to forgive you after talking how strong you were."

"Forgive me?! If anything, I should be forgiving you for what you just pulled on me, the other day!" Jinx puffed her cheeks. "And to tell you the truth! I won't forgive you for that at all!"

"The other day?" Yuji blinked before realizing blowing a raspberry, "Oh...is that when after you told me to go to jail? Even though...we're already in jail?" He said with a teasing smile.

Jinx's cheeks flushed red, hearing, "D-don't remind me, mister!" Jinx points at him. "I-I'm not dumb."

"I didn't say that nor thinking about that."

"And...and...I'm not weak enough to fall for your tricks!" Jinx exclaimed. Yuji raised a brow, "Tricks?"

"You know what I'm talking about Itadori Yuji!" Jinx yelled. "Where...you made me...you know!" Jinx yelled. Yuji hums as he gets it now. "Oh...Like this?" Just as quick as tiger, he goes to back Jinx into a corner with his hand trapping her hands above her and pinning her against the wall. Jinx is now screaming inside as she is in shock.

"H-hey! I don't mean like that!"

"And what do you mean?" Yuji asked. Jinx is biting back her cheek, "I-I won't lose! You heard me! Whatever you do to me, I won't give in! I s-swear it!"

"Really?" Yuji asked.

"Yes! I dare you to try! I won't lose!" Jinx said with full confidence. Yuji then smiled so mischievously that made Jinx shiver. "Alright then...let's see what you got."

---- In the other cells ----

"Nnhng...hey Megumi..."

"Hm?"

"Is Itadori going to be okay?" Kisho asked as he laid his head on his lap. Megumi answers, "Yeah. Itadori is going to be fine." He said, looking outside his cell. It was nighttime now.

"And w-what about Officer Violet?" Kisho asked. Megumi pats his head to assure, "She is going to be fine too. Besides Itadori likes her the moment he saw her. That's what I think."

"Really?" Kisho asked.

"Really." Megumi nods. Kisho utters a soft groan before he asks, "Okay..also....uh...one more thing"

"Hm?"

"C-can we take a break?" Kisho asked nervously as he looks to be flushed and is now shaking a bit. To which Megumi scowls and quickly smacks his butt making the other yelped.

"Like I said...your punishment is long overdue, Kisho." He said as he went to turn the dial up with the remote making Kisho gasp and shudder as the vibrator hits all the right spots in his ass. He can't help but moan. He was forced to sit up by Megumi as the shadow sorcerer goes to bite his neck making Kisho whimper.

"B-biut? But...you can't punish me for what I said to Officer Violet. She has to know that Itadori is a good person!" Kisho cried. Megumi sighs, "You don't think I know that?" He goes to pet Kisho's head. "I'm not upset with you trying to defend Itadori to Officer Violet and explained the situation to her."

"Huh? S-so...why?"

"That's why I said you're going to get a reward after your punishment." Megumi tells him, "Besides..you escaped your punishment because we were interrupted by that break-in. So I'm going to follow through." He said as he went to finger him, making Kisho moan softly. "Since Itadori isn't here, it means we got a lot of time on our hands. So let's take advantage of it." He smiles darkly.

"Hnngn..." Kisho said as Megumi continued to tease him by touch. He goes to rub his nipples while the dildo is in his butt, throbbing like non-stop. Kisho whines and moans as is slowly breaking down. "M-megumi!"

"Make sure to keep your legs apart," Megumi ordered. Kisho tries to move but it's getting hard since his arms are in cuffs and tied together. "Yes...yes..sir." Kisho said before his eyes are now being blindfolded. He whimpers as Megumi teases him further with a chuckle.

Tonight is going to be a long night...

Megumi wonders how Itadori and Officer Violet are doing right now. Probably still talking.

---- Itadori's Solidary Cell -----

"S-stop! Nuugh..."

Her and her big mouth. Why did she say that?! God! What made her do it!? She did want to prove that to Itadori that she won't lose to him and his tricks. Ugh! THis is so bad. So really bad.

"Didn't you said that you can withstand this, Officer Violet?"

"Y-yes!" Jinx squeaked. "But never like this!" She cried. Right now, Officer Violet is in a compromising position. She is hung over on Itadori's lap and her pants and panties are down to her knees. Her jacket is off and is on the floor, and only her black tee remains. Right now, Itadori is fingering her as she is over his lap like she is about to spank but she is getting weird sensations when Itadori is moving his fingers inside of her while sitting on the bed. As if he is searching for something..

"Ahnnn...nnhng...dannng it." Jinx grits her teeth as she doesn't want to look over her shoulder, she is looking down on the ground and clutching one of Itadori's thighs. These sensations feel so weird...why does it feel good but so weird?! She cannot explain but then...she lets out a loud pleasurable cry as Itadori rubs something inside of her.

"W-what?" Jinx's face blushes as she glances over her shoulder. Itadori chuckles, "It looks like I found your sweet spot, little kitty cat." He smiles as he goes to curl his fingers inside of her making her cry out. "AHH!" She goes to her legs but Itadori makes sure to keep still.

"Now, now. No need for that." Itadori scolds her. "Now let me make you feel good."

"H-how is this good..aahh.." Jinx replied before she arches her back, unwittingly moan out loud. Itadori does it again and now he goes to quicken his fingers making Jinx's eyes widen. "Ah! W-wait! S-slow down! You're going to....aahh..nugh! AH!"

Then Jinx came all over Itadori's clothed pants as fluids came out. Itadori smiles, "You came. Not bad."

Jinx is gasping and panting as she has tears in her eyes, "T-this doesn't count.." She said.

"Oh. It doesn't?" Itadori replies, "Okay...let's try this." He goes to change Jinx's position from her lap and lays her on the bed on her back with her legs spread. She felt incoming heat between her thighs. "Wait..wait...wait! What are you about to do?"Jinx looks anxious but deep down, unknownst to her. A bit excited. She sees Itadori holding her legs apart as he goes to lower his head between them. What is he going to do?!

"Oh...this." And right away, Jinx felt a hot muscle at her folds, licking and sucking. "AAAHH! I-Itadori!" Jinx arches her back as she grips the sheets tightly as she feels it. Her reddish dark bangs cover her eyes that are widen and her pupils shudder at the pleasure she's getting. With her mouth open, revealing her canine teeth. A long string of moans came from her mouth.

This sensation makes her moan and cry as Itadori is....eating her. With his tongue? God...is he really eating her?! He is really a wild tiger! He's so crazy for doing this. So strong that he holds her apart in a tight grip while he continues to eat her like this.

Itadori is slurping and licking at her folds with his tongue. The sweet aroma from her clit is so addictive he can't get enough of it.

Tears form at the corner of Jinx's eyes as she feels a great sensation. A pleasurable one that is so good that made her moan so much, she couldn't stop herself.

Jinx doesn't think she would last any longer.

----- Somewhere...in the city ----

Warden Kinie Ger never thought she would be invited to someone else over dinner. This is so weird. She never experienced this before. Sure, she goes on dinners with friends but not alone and with the opposite sex.

This is so strange.

Why is Sukuna Ryomen interested in her?

"Is the food to your liking?" His voice got her to lift her head.

"Yes. The food is really good, Mr. Ryomen." The dish is better than good. It's amazing. Amazing than what she cooks. The dish is flank steak with roasted potatoes with herbs with the wine she brought.

She wonders if the gift she handed over to him subpar. She wonders if what she wears is appropriate. It was a sleeveless black blouse with a bow on it with short pants dark leggings and plaid soles. It was a bit chilly. Plus it was modest and elegant.

"Good to hear." Sukuna said as he wondered what she was thinking. She looks to be... hesitant. Is he coming too forward? No, she must be settling in after seeing the sort of place he's living for the time being. As if she is very careful about where to sit and keeps her hands to herself.

"Now, now. No need to be uptight. Just relax. It's not like I bite."

Kinie Ger gives him a look, "Rest assured. It's not that. I'm not nervous around you if that's what you ask." She said. She wonders if this is a good time to talk to him. What to talk about? Should she asking some questions, but what questions? How can she ask a question without sounding too personal like family or work? Kinie can guess what sort of work that Ryomen does. Still...there is one.

"Tell me...are you offering this deal for the sake of Itadori?" She asked. "Truthfully, it's understandable. Because it seems like the Six Claws shows us that their enemies would be willing to break in."

"Correct." Sukuna smiles, "Very perceptive."

"I mean...it isn't that impressive.. " Kinie said, before sipping her wine a bit. Just a bit. She doesn't like wine but she will tolerate for the sake of her host.

"Still. Most people don't get and would refuse but you on the other hand think hard on this and that break-in just gives you a reason to go with this idea." Said Sukuna. "By the way...why you didn't suspect me behind the break-in?"

"Huh?" Kinie blinks. "Why would I? That would be against your plan? Why the reason to bring the lawyer along? It doesn't make sense and a break-in could leave things messy and loose ends. That said...you're the kind of person who seems confident in winning a legal battle. "

"Correct." Sukuna smiles.

KInie narrows her eyes at this. "Are you trying to test me to see how smart I am?"

"No. Just curious. Besides..you have already proven yourself. After all, why did you hire those officers from those different precincts? When I heard about who is looking after the Six Claws and my brother." He said. "It's surprising but it makes sense. Officer Vanguard is a good-hearted and her.....special way of handling prisons is quite something. Something that Six Claws were trying to figure out. Officer Violet is a good match-up as she is good at combat. While the third one, Officer Vin Shia makes sure to keep everything in order given those two's personalities."

Kinie blinks before sighing, "You know me too well, Ryomen." She said with a small smile. Speaking of which how is Officer Violet doing with Itadori. Unlike the Six Claws, it seems like Itadori is an easy mission to handle.

----- Back at prison ----

"AAH!" She climaxes again. Jinx falls onto the bed as she is gripping the pillow close to her face while covering her face with an arm. She looks to the ceiling with half-lidded eyes as they are now glowing yellow-red. Then she felt the hot muscle coming back at her folds.

"S-stop! Stop! I had enouggh!" Jinx pleaded with her eyes closed after she came three times due to Itadori's tongue. She has been panting and gasping npn-stop ever since she came. Itadori sits up as he licks her essence on his lips, "What's wrong? Don't tell you're giving up now, officer." He teased.

"Hnnng..." Her eyes are closed as her legs are trembling.

"Unless..." Itadori's tone changes to a low tone, almost like a growl, "You want me inside of you. Don't you?" This made her yelp as she went to open her eyes to see the tiger now up close.

"I-I..."

"Don't worry...I make sure to feel you good like I said. But first..." Itadori proceeds to take her top before turning her on her stomach. He rolls her shirt up, revealing a pink bra before he proceeds to unhook her bra.

"Wait...w-what are you?" Jinx looks nervous now.

"It will get uncomfortable and it will get a little sweaty in here so~" He goes to touch Jinx's breasts making her yelp and Itadori goes to fondle. Jinx gasps as she can't believe these strong hands are on her bare boobs. Jinx whines and moans at his touch while Itadori puts her bra and top right next to her.

"There we go. Good, right?"

"Um...err..." Jinx doesn't know what to say. Then she cry when she felt him pull her nipples gently. She goes to move her legs but she can't move as Itadori pins her down with his weight against her. "Don't worry, I got you." He whispered to her ear making her tremble. His touch and voice weakened her ever before. "J-just get to it already!" Jinx cried.

"Get to what?" Itadori plays dumb.

"T-the...the...main event!" Jinx cried, clutching her sheets as Yuji keeps on playing with her boobs and nipples.

"Main event?" Itadori goes to nip at her neck, making her whine. "Y-you know what I mean, Y-yuji!" She said.

"You mean this?" Yuji asked. Jinx felt something big at her behind, making her blush. Eh?! Hold on...is that?

Jinx widens her eyes, her lip trembling. "Is that what I think?"

"Yeah, it is." Itadori said.

It's so big. Is he really going to put that inside of her? She might break. Oh god. She will break! Jinx decides to change her mind, "Wait...a second. How about we-"

"Sorry. No time to hold back now. Besides...that would mean you're giving up, right?"

"I-I-I-I..." Jinx winced as she felt Itadori's hard length now sliding between her folds. "Nugh! Wait...wait...wait!"

"Relax. Just relax. I will be gentle,." He tells her gently, he goes to caress her one of her breasts and continues to nip and kiss at her neck. The touches are so distracting that Jinx doesn't notice until Yuji begins to inch his way inside of her. Jinx is whimpering as she closes her eyes tightly. Then she felt lips on hers. Jinx widened her eyes at this before closing them as the kiss became deep. She moans into the kiss as she does not realize that Yuji is now inside and snaps his hips and is now into her, making her moan loudly.

Yuji breaks the kiss and pants. Jinx pants. "Ah...ha...ha.." While Yuji calms her with sweet words that are working. "Y-yuji!" She said his name without thinking. After letting her adjusted to his size, Yuji thrusts inside of her, slowly and deeper. Jinx moans. Yuji groans.

"Ah...ha...ah..so-so big!" Jinx moaned. She never thought something like this would happen. It's so good. Yuji goes to fondle her breast as he kisses her neck some more as he continues his deep thrusts. Jinx moans.

"That's right. Let it all out, Jinx." He said her name in a way. Jinx whines, she can't control her moans because of him. "Ahhh...uhhh...huh..ha..ha..." She utters.

'How can this? This is so good. So very good? Is that what it is, the other two nights?! F-fuck. This is so good. Wait...no...wasn't this supposed to be a challenge she was supposed to win? Ack! How does he do it?! Oh god....is it so big and strong! I can't....

"Y-yuji!" Jinx said his name. Hearing his name like that from the Hellcat made Yuji growl and start to quicken his thrusts. "W-wait! Hold on! S-slow down!" Jinx yelled, "Ahhh!" She felt him hit that nub, over and over again. She clutches her sheets.

"W-wait! Something is happening! I felt like I'm going to b-blow up!?"

"That's you coming again," Yuji assures her. "Go ahead...do it." He said. Jinx bit her bottom lip. No! She can't! Not again. However...

"If you don't...I will keep going and going till you lose it, Jinx." He growls into her ear. That domineering tone gives her goosebumps with her hair standing up like a cat. Jinx's moans increased in volume. Yuji keeps going and going, non-stop making the bed creak and Jinx's toes curl.

To make sure Jinx comes again, Yuji goes to change the positions as she is now laying her back on Yuji's chest. Both of her breasts are being grabbed and are being moved in a circular motion while Yuji thrusts up in a jackhammering motion. Jinx lets out lustful cries.

"That's it. Savor it, Jinx. Let go." Yuji growled, panting. Jinx shut her eyes tightly as she lets out more moans. She can't move her legs because she is pounded without mercy.

My head. I can't think anymore. This is so good! So very good. I-I can't....wait..something is coming. It's coming! It's coming! It's Coming!

"YUJI! F-FUCK! YUJI! " Jinx calls out his name as she cums on his cock. Yuji groans as he feels Jinx's warm essence on his girth. Jinx collapses on him as she breathes against his neck. Yuji goes to kiss her once. Jinx lets out a weak moan into the kiss. The kiss became heated and deep now as Yuji snaked his arm around her waist and kept her like this close to his body.

"So...what do you think?" Yuji asked, breaking the kiss.

"Ah...ha...I....I...nnugh" Jinx has no words as she looks dazed and now out of it. Yuji chuckles at her reaction. "Anyway! Want to go again?"

"Eh?" Jinx blinked as she looks at Yuji in disbelief. "B-but we..."

"I have a lot of stamina so I can't wait to go again!" Yuji smiles. "I think I can keep up with a demon like yourself." He said before snapping his hips upwards into her, getting a moan out of her.

"Y-YujI!" Jinx cried.

"After all...we're just getting started." Said Yuji, making Jinx moans as Yuji starts the second round. How long would Jinx last?

------ Oblivion's office -----

"Ugh..." Oblivion runs her face with her hand as she cannot believe. At this point, if they give her any more shots after that. She is going to do something about it. This is not good.

After talking to Ophelia, she needs to find out about Yuuka. She needs information. Maybe there's a person to call about this. She goes to dial the number on her cell and waits for the other to pick up.

"Hello?"

"S-Shdwkyz." She said his name. "I need your help. I need your help into looking someone."

"It sounds serious. How can I help?"

"I need your help on getting information about Yuuka Nanako." He said.

okay so, i’ve been watching the commonwealth games and it made me realise that bakugo 100% has a gymnast's physique. they have such broad shoulders, big arms and slim waists.

now i’m imagining bakugo doing a routine in the gym that doesn’t include weights or anything. but instead he’s using one of the pommel horses, typically these are used for artistic gymnastics but the benefits it gives bakugo for loosening up, whilst also building core muscles and his arms/legs? yeah he doesn’t give a fuck what the original use is for.

so here he is, stood next to the chalk bowl whilst he coats his hands generously, he has to apply a little more than the usual because of his quirk. he’s in a tight tank top that hides nothing and tight fitting sweatpants.

the gym is empty so he knows he won’t disturbed or have to answer questions when he finally grabs the two handles and hoists himself up. all muscles are instantly being worked, his biceps are tensed and bulging, his stomach tightens to support his legs as he brings them up and around until he’s “sitting”. his legs aren’t touching the horse and his arms and wrists are doing all the work.

he continues this kind of easy routine until he brings his legs back around, focusing on his wrists and throwing himself up into a handstand with his toes pointed perfectly. anyone would think he was an actual gymnast but his job as a hero, who’s airborne a lot of the time, he requires to be very flexible.

he shifts all of his weight onto one hand, slowly lowering himself down whilst holding the handstand and then slowly raising back up in a one-handed push-up. he’s nailed this routine over the years, having started to master it in his teens and continued to work on it throughout his adult life.

maybe one day he’ll show it someone other than kirishima who actually only found out during high school because he walked in on bakugo mid-routine. maybe one day he’ll show it to you, but until then he’s content with keeping it to himself.

there’s no way he doesn’t know some form of gymnastics with the way he fights

in the royals au does edmund d word tragically too? like alá princess diana which could be why benedict is so adverse to the press harassing sophie

Yes, sadly in the Royals AU Edmund did pass tragically, with the press's intrusion on his death and funeral having a formative impact on not just Benedict but all of the family.

King Edmund had been such an affable man and was always so welcoming, which would be to his detriment. He had thought working hand in hand with the press would keep them onside, which is why each one of his newborn children were presented to the world on the front steps of the hospital shortly after Violet had given birth, how one day a year cameras were allowed access into the palace to capture the royal family behaving just like any other family, and how the press would be there for every single prince and princess's first day at their new school. He gave them far too much leeway, thinking it would benefit the family and keep the media well fed, but as the old saying goes; you give them an inch, they'll take it a mile.

No matter how much they were provided with, the media always wanted more and had begun going to drastic lengths to get it. When word reached the tabloid offices that Prince Anthony had a girlfriend, they tracked down the teenage couple at a cinema and surrounded them, upsetting Anthony's first love in the process and scaring her off entirely. When Benedict was fifteen, pictures of him indulging in a sneaky cigarette were splashed all across the front pages, pictures which had been leaked by so-called friends of his. The final straw was when paparazzi had sneaked onto the grounds of Eloise and Francesca's primary school and photos taken of the girls doing handstands with their friends with their skirts falling down to expose their knickers being published. Edmund was outraged and appalled at just how low the media had sunk and immediately implemented measures to keep the press at bay.

However, due to this sudden u-turn, the press were even more demanding and began trailing the royal family wherever they went as the king waited for the court orders to process in order to have some control over the media. Unfortunately, Edmund wouldn't live to see such implementations; after leaving an awards ceremony for wounded veterans, his car was chased by paparazzi, resulting in a car crash that claimed the young king's life.

The country went into mourning and a week later crowds silently lined the streets as the king's coffin was drawn towards the cathedral, with his heavily pregnant wife and their seven children all dressed in black trailing behind. The sight and the images taken were heartbreaking, the devastation and agony clear to see across all of the family's faces. It was the most harrowing day of all of their lives, and then a few short days later, when Violet was taking a short walk around the palace grounds, she was accosted by a paparazzo who had managed to get past security. She had screamed at him to leave, yelling out for security, lambasting the odious man for breaching her privacy, and the stress of it all brought on her labour. She cried out for help and much to her horror, all the vile man did was take photos of her in her hour of need. Having heard their mother's screams, her children had come running; Benedict and Daphne seeing to their labouring mother and helping her to her feet, whilst Anthony punched the paparazzo in the face before Colin and Eloise grabbed a hold of his camera and smashed it to pieces.

Ever since then the royal family have had a very strained relationship with the press, though it has bettered in recent years with Daphne's marriage to the Grand Duke of the neighbouring principality and the babies she had welcomed, as well as King Anthony's marriage to Kate. After Benedict's dance with Sophie at the charity ball was publicized and heavily scrutinized, he immediately vowed to her to keep their relationship private, knowing how daunting it would be to have everyone knowing their business so early on. The longer their relationship continued, the more precious Sophie became to him and while he knew without a doubt he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, he feared the day she would be forced into the spotlight because of him, being protective as he was of her already. When the dreaded day finally came of the country learning of Sophie's existence, Benedict assured her the press knew their boundaries; until they proved him wrong and he watched the videos online of how brutally hounded she was and how clearly distraught his girlfriend was as a result. He had been naive in thinking the media would know their place after everything that had happened with his father, assuming the newer generation of press would practise common decency. In retrospect, Sophie was the first royal partner known to the public (seeing as Daphne and Simon, and Anthony and Kate's relationships had taken place in private prior to the announcements of their engagements), and in the eyes of the media she was theirs for the taking. When Benedict marched into the palace offices to demand a press statement be released in order to get the media to back off from his girlfriend, he was informed that the King, the Queen, and the Dowager Queen had already ordered it, all of them horrified by what poor Sophie had endured. Though assured he had his family's support on the matter, Benedict wanted it to be made clear in the statement that he wasn't asking the press to back off, he was telling them in no uncertain terms to leave Sophie alone. After this warning the press began conducting themselves better and during their first public appearances as a couple Benedict's arm was permanently fixed around Sophie's waist, not letting her go for even a second and constantly glaring at the press, reminding them to know their place with nothing more than a curt nod.

Wei WuXian was also shocked. He turned to Lan WangJi, “Your sect makes disciples do handstands while copying? That’s awful.”

Lan WangJi replied calmly, “There would always be someone who did not learn their lessons by simply copying the sect rules. Handstands not only guaranteed better performance in the future but also benefited cultivation.”

my man was such a menace they changed the sects punishments to make sure they didn't produce another one like him

Do you think I can benefit from gymnastics classes as an adult? I'm not trying to be a professional or anything like that.

Yes!!!!!!! If there's an adult gymnastics class near you that takes beginners, you absolutely should. They'll teach you all the basics and help you learn cartwheels, handstands, balance, body positions, and other foundational skills. It's a great workout for your whole body and very fun in a relaxed environment.

I used to go to adult gymnastics classes and they had us split up by levels. There were very beginners there up to ex-D1 college athletes. Be aware that tumbling is kind of hard on your joints as an adult if you progress. I tried to focus on the other apparatus to avoid injury. 😂

Also, feel free to ask me any other Qs! I used to be a gymnastics coach for kids, and I love gymnastics. 💕💕💕

There are certain foundational yoga poses that exemplify yoga as a practice, and eagle is one of them. This standing pose is unique in that it has so many different stages, from the nested version—where you curl in tight—to letting your eagle soar away as you come out of the posture. At its most basic, eagle pose appears to be another one-legged balance asana, but it’s actually a journey toward freedom. “The eagle yoga pose, garudasana, is associated not only with an animal but also with a god named Garuda, described as having a golden body, white face, red wings, talons, and a curved beak,” writes author and yoga teacher Alison Zak in her recent book, Wild Asana: Animals, Yoga, and Connecting Our Practice to the Natural World. “He reigns as king of the birds in Hindu mythology and symbolizes integrity because he once carried the nectar of immortality in his beak without drinking a drop of what was not rightfully his.” There are three distinct parts to the pose. The first is remaining upright. In the second part we curl into the nest of our legs, which engages the abdominals. The final part is the coming out of the pose, where we spread our wings and “fly away.” Eagle can also be broken up into upper and lower halves and then sprinkled into other yoga asanas. The arms and upper body can be practiced in a variety of alternative poses, like the warrior poses or half moon. “I love to teach eagle arms in poses such as goddess or even seated in virasana or vajrasana,” says Neeti Narula, a popular yoga guide on the Melissa Wood Health app. The legs can be added to any inversion, like handstand and headstand, to spruce it up a bit. This is how Los Angeles–based teacher and co-owner of Yoga Sanctum, Audrey Rey Espinosa, loves exploring the posture: “I love coming into a tripod headstand with eagle legs and then straddle, switching legs mid-air!” Regardless if you choose to keep one talon on the ground, eagle teaches us how to find freedom and spaciousness—both in flight and in the confines of the nest. Benefits of eagle pose Balance improvement “This is the perfect pose to work your body for balance,” says Espinosa, but it’s not as simple as balancing on one leg. There is a dynamism to the balance requirements as you move between stages. Moving through the stages is also a sure-fire concentration boost. It’s hard to think about anything else when you’re focusing on not falling. “[Do your] best to bring awareness to the foot that is on the ground, and root down through all four corners—the inner and outer heel, and the mound under the big toe, as well as the mound under the pinky toe,” recommends Brian Hyman, RYT, IAYT, author of Recovery with Yoga. Leg strengthening There are a number of yoga asana that strengthen our outer hips—but not eagle pose. It lengthens our outer hips and glutes and strengthens our inner thigh muscles, our adductors. “Eagle is a go-to counterpose after doing a series of external hip shapes,” says Espinosa, who has battled with a hypermobile pelvis and sacrum since giving birth eight years ago. “This asana helps me rehabilitate and feel balanced and strong after doing a lot of warrior poses.” Upper-body stretch The arm position, even when modified, provides a delicious upper-body stretch in our back and shoulders, particularly the rhomboids, which bring the shoulder blades together. Narula teaches the prenatal program at Melissa Wood Health and loves focusing on this benefit with her pregnant students: “Eagle arms can feel really wonderful during pregnancy as our backs and shoulders are in need of opening!” It's also a wonderful stretch for our fascia, and eagle arms is known to be an excellent yoga pose for headaches. Agility improvement The various phases of eagle require a lot of agility. From the beginning, you are weaving parts of your body together while balancing on one foot. Then you have to maintain the wrap while you round down and in, only to reverse it all to come out of the pose. Eagle also asks us to hug in with certain areas, but expand in others.

All of these seemingly contradictory asks require agility and an ability to move with nuance. Breath control Moving between the upright version to the curled in version is an opportunity for us to practice maintaining a steady breath, regardless of circumstance. That said, the phase where we are “nesting” can be challenging for people with histories of anxiety, warns Espinosa, who has experienced shortness of breath in the posture. “Start slow and make your breath the most important piece,” she advises. How to do eagle pose Photo: Sarah Ezrin Start in chair pose with your feet together, knees bent, and weight in your heels. Lift your left leg and cross it over your right, so your thighs are stacked. If you’re able, tuck your left foot behind your right ankle. Inhale your arms into a wide T-shape. Now cross the opposite arm on top: Right elbow over left. Bend at your elbows, bringing your forearms perpendicular to the floor. Cross at your wrists to connect your palms together (or press the backs of the hands together) This is part 1: Upright eagle. Take an inhale, then as you exhale, begin to curl your spine forward. Imagine touching the front of your knees with your elbows. It’s okay if you don’t get all the way down. Keep your shoulders sliding out of your ears and maintain a broad chest. Bow your head, tucking your chin into your chest. This is part 2: Nesting eagle. Hold here for 5 breaths. Coming out, first return to upright eagle on an inhale and pause there to exhale. Untangle your top leg, passing back through chair pose. Untangle your arms and slowly stand up to mountain pose. Set up for your second side. How to modify eagle pose for beginners Although eagle can be classified as one of the basic yoga poses, our proportions and balance can make it advanced really quickly. Using props and/or backing off is a great way to land your eagle in order to fit your needs. Plus, as Narula says, “sometimes the ‘modifications’ can actually be more physically challenging than the bound and/or balance version because without the distraction of trying our best to stay upright, we have to stay honest.” Beginner doesn’t mean “easy” or “less than,” it simply means you are still learning the pose. Kickstand your bottom foot or place your toes on a block Reminder that finding the right asana alternative is all about what works for your body. “My relationship with the posture has definitely changed over the years. When I first began practicing yoga, I was extremely focused on getting very deep into the bind aspects of the posture," says Narula. "Today, I often use the foot of my top leg as added balance support rather than taking my toes behind the opposite calf. I find that this way feels more spacious and allows me to feel more aligned in the posture, creating that steadiness and ease quality that is essential to any asana." Give yourself a hug or press your forearms together The wrapping of the arms, like many twisting yoga poses, can be a challenge for a variety of reasons, whether that's your natural body proportions or even injury. “Try arm variations, such as grabbing opposite shoulders, rather than the traditional arms,” suggests Narula. This will create a similar opening in the upper back, without overly taxing the shoulders. If you need to avoid the wrapping altogether, you can always press palms and forearms together. "The forearms together variation creates space between the shoulder blades, where tension and stress is stored within the body, so that would be a good way to let go of the weight of the world that we carry there,” says Hyman. Quick tips for mastering eagle pose There are some common misalignments in eagle which can be remedied with tiny adjustments. Keep your weight in your standing heel Once the legs start to wrap, there’s a tendency to bring all our weight toward our standing toes, which can make balance more precarious, especially if you choose to nest. Once in the pose, really sit back with the hips, bringing more weight into your standing heel.

“Without a stable connection to the ground, which provides the foundation for eagle pose, sensations of freedom and lightness that allow us to feel that we are rising above the circumstances of life will unlikely be cultivated or maintained,” explains Hyman. Press your top elbow down, as you lift your bottom elbow up Eagle benefits from a lot of opposite actions. One such action is the top upper arm bone pressing down into the bottom upper arm bone, as your bottom upper arm bone gently lifts toward your head. This upper arm tug-of-war helps glide the shoulder blades down your back. Hollow the belly to nest more deeply Many people try to fold flat to nest their eagle and miss the nest entirely. Take a huge exhale and really round your spine in order to bring your elbows to your top thighs. This will hollow your belly and allow you to tuck you in nicely. Put your inner thighs to work Narula loves to cue students to “squeeze their inner thighs together gently, which naturally helps bring the low belly online and elongates the low back rather than sticking the tailbone out.” Eagle pose variations 1. Supine eagle If balance is a real challenge, supine eagle is a great way to get the binding benefits of pose without needing to stand. Start on your back with your knees bent and feet on the floor. Cross your left leg over your right, like you’re sitting at a desk chair. Lift your shins so they are parallel to the floor. If possible, double cross your left toes behind your right ankle. Cross your arms over your chest with your right arm over your left. Double-cross to either press the backs of the hands together or cross at wrists to touch palms. Touch your toes toward the earth and your fingertips overhead for a lovely spine stretch. Untangle and repeat on your opposite side. 2. Eagle crunch Want some extra core work? Try adding the eagle crunch to your flow. From supine eagle, inhale first. On an exhale, curl your spine, bringing your knees and elbow together. Inhale return to supine eagle. Repeat 5 full rounds. Once complete, untangle your limbs and pause before doing side two. 3. Prenatal version This prenatal eagle helps create more space for growing bellies, and is also a great option if you have hip injuries. Stand near a wall with your feet hip-width apart. The wall is there for balance. Sit back into chair pose, with your feet together, hips back, and knees bent. Cross your right ankle over your left leg, coming into figure-4 legs. Take the arms into eagle: crossing left elbow over right and crossing once more at wrists. If the upper body portion is feeling too constricting with your growing belly, consider one of the optional arms variations listed above (such as elbows pressing together or giving yourself a hug). Hold for 3 breaths. Untangle the arms and legs and stand up. Repeat with the other leg and arm on top. Reasons you might want to skip eagle Pregnancy Eagle is generally contraindicated for pregnant people. “In eagle, the legs crossed makes for a very narrow center, so balance becomes especially difficult," says Narula, who runs a prenatal program for the Melissa Wood Health app. "Additionally, the top leg crossing over the bottom leg may can create pressure and restriction against the lower part of the belly in later pregnancy" Eagle pose is also not a hip opener—it's primarily internal rotation, which is the opposite of what you'll want to focus on during pregnancy. Hip openers "prepare us for birth, such as those involving external rotation or our hips," says Narula. Shoulder injury Shoulder injuries can prohibit people from getting their arms across their chest. “If you cannot take the full arm wrap in eagle pose, a bear hug is an option,” suggests Hyman. “The hands can also be brought to the heart as yet another option. These alternatives are beneficial because they avoid further pain or worsening of injuries, while yogis simultaneously get a chance to find their own personal practice.” Hip injury “Eagle

legs are a great way to engage the inner leg and pelvis adductor muscles that help stabilize the femur bone in the hip socket, but this may not serve anyone who has groin pain or injuries in the Iliopsoas like bursitis or tendonitis,” says Espinosa. If you’re dealing with hip injuries, skip the legs or substitute with the figure-4 option mentioned in the prenatal version.

Sports and Other Activities that Require Flexibility

What type of training comes to mind when you think of athletics? Most people assume activities that focus on improving strength and endurance are all you need to perform your best during sports. While this is true, one of the most overlooked activities can actually make or break your performance: flexibility training.

What Does it Mean to Be Flexible as an Athlete?

Having flexibility means you can move your joints or group of muscles through their complete range of motion without discomfort or restrictions. People often perform full-body stretches before and after physical activity to improve flexibility. It’s essential to warm up before working out or playing a sport because your increased heart rate delivers more blood to your muscles. This ensures that they can move the way they’re supposed to and help you retain flexibility.

The Importance of Flexibility and Sports

Flexibility is necessary for athletes because it helps boost their performance. It improves posture, allowing for more efficient movement while preventing body misalignments. Not only that but being flexible can also help athletes maintain appropriate muscle mass balance and length. Muscles that are too tight can hinder proper form during a sport or physical activity.

This doesn’t mean all athletes are supposed to be contortionists, though! Ultimately, you’re less likely to perform at your best when you lack a decent amount of flexibility and range of motion.

Ten Common Activities Requiring Good Flexibility

All activities require some degree of flexibility to perform them correctly and comfortably, though it’s a bit more crucial for certain sports and other physical activities. Lacking these elements can prevent you from safely moving through your complete range of motion and can impact your performance.

Besides reducing the risk of an injury, here are some reasons why having flexibility is important for these sports and other physical activities:

Yoga

Yoga typically combines gentle stretching and strengthening exercises to promote relaxation and control of the mind and body. It requires work from all parts of the body, including the arms, legs, glutes, and back. Having optimal flexibility in those areas can allow you to get into certain yoga positions and experience their benefits.

Even if you aren’t that flexible, it can certainly improve the more you practice yoga.

Gymnastics

It goes without saying that gymnastics requires some serious flexibility, particularly in the hips and shoulders. If a gymnast doesn’t have flexibility, agility, or strength, they won’t have the full range of motion to successfully perform their stunts. That can impact your score greatly if you’re competing!

Common moves performed in gymnastics that rely on optimal flexibility are:

Splits

Cartwheels

Handstands

Somersaults

Back handsprings

Diving

A good diver knows they should have good flexibility in the shoulders and upper back. Diving positions fold your body in all sorts of different shapes. For example, the tuck position has your knees touching your chest. The pike position also requires the diver’s body to be bent at the waist with their legs remaining straight and their toes pointed for the duration of the move.

Surfing

This one may come as a surprise to most people but having flexibility while you surf is pretty important. It allows you to bend freely, so you can easily turn the surfboard to maneuver through the waves on the water. Surfing requires a lot of work from the hips, shoulders, and neck.

Building flexibility and strength in those joints will help you become a better surfer by preparing your body for high-stress scenarios.

Combat Sports

To be successful in combat sports, you should have good posture and quick reflexes. Being flexible is important for your posture and allows your joints to be in the correct positions to stretch and contract during swift motions. Fighters want to keep all the major muscle groups and joints throughout their bodies nice and limber so they can move easily.

A few examples of combat sports where flexibility is necessary include:

Martial arts

Wrestling

Boxing

Jiu-jitsu

Karate

Figure Skating

Figure skaters are sort of like gymnasts but on ice. They tend to position their bodies at extreme lengths to achieve those graceful moves during their show. Being flexible can help improve endurance and skating performance. It also allows skaters to do stunts like spirals and split jumps with ease.

Dance

Have you ever noticed how dancers move effortlessly and elongate their limbs during a choreographed performance? This is because their loosened and flexible muscles help them move better. Since stretching also increases blood circulation and gives you energy, it allows dancers to perform longer without feeling fatigued.

Flexibility is vital for all dance styles, including:

Ballet

Salsa

Belly dancing

Break dancing

Tap dancing

Cheerleading

It’s hard to be peppy and root for your team when you have tight muscles! It takes a decent amount of flexibility for cheerleaders to perform their stunts and dance moves without hurting themselves. Cheerleading is the most dangerous sport for women, and injuries are more likely to occur from a lack of proper training and flexibility.

Pole Vaulting

Flexibility is imperative for pole vaulters because a proper technique requires a good stretch reflex. When you push off the ground to jump, it produces a stretch in the hips and quads. Your shoulders also go through a stretch reflex when you push the pole into the box. Good flexibility in those areas helps with the stretch reflex and provides a more powerful technique.

Skiing

Flexibility helps you have a better range of motion, which is something that’s necessary when you’re skiing. It helps you maneuver while going at a fast pace, and it allows you to achieve higher jumps to perform stunts.

Skiers also need optimal flexibility in their calves since ski boots tend to make you hinge at the heel. This stretches the calf and Achilles in each leg, and your chances of injuring these areas are greater if they’re tight.

Weightlifting

Weightlifting or other strength training activities also require some flexibility. This can help ensure all the different parts of your body work together for optimal performance. Believe it or not, good flexibility allows you to lift better by not restricting how the major muscles in your arms and legs move.
