Hey, sweet friends!

I inadvertently took a smidge of a step back from writing thanks to real life (you all can relate!). Between Covid relief (9 months later *wink*wink* 🤰🏼🤰🏼🤰🏼) and a crazy ❄⛄SNOW⛄❄ storm here in Texas, writing took that metaphorical backseat.

But I'm here, and I've got some WIPs I'd love to share with y'all... who's ready for WIP Wednesday? Click "Keep Reading" to enjoy five bits of fics I've been writing (the fourth and fifth are bonuses that I have NO idea when they will be released; they are for your amusement, to tease you a bit *shrugs* or something like that).

Before I continue... @lucy-268 @anjanettexcordonia @ao719 @bbrandy2002 @shannonsaid @khoicesbyk @shewillreadyou @irisofpurple @lem-20 what are y'all working on?

The Missionary’s Daughter (Chapter 1--Name TBD; TRR) 🍋

Halos of blurred auras bleach his vision as Drake cautiously opens one blood-shot eye. His tongue sticks to the roof of his roughly parched mouth as he massages his pained forehead. Clueless of what day it is--much less what he did last night--he is greeted with a sudden glorious sensation: a supple wet mouth on his hardened morning length.

His body relaxes back onto the dampened, disheveled sheets of his bed; he releases a pleasurable exhale as he blindly reaches for the head behind the lips. He strains to focus his view, but can only make out a foggy shape of a nude woman with long, tousled brunette waves.

Of course, it’s her.

Drake smiles; delicately tangling his grip in her strands, he admires how even the afternoon sun catches her beauty perfectly. He quietly smacks his lips. He can still smell her on his stubble; he can still taste her on his tongue.

Did she come clean to Liam? Were they celebrating that they could finally be together?

As she takes in the head of his girth, he arches his back, relaxing his body into her hungry touch. Closing his eyes, he offers a guttural groan deep in his chest as she swirls her tongue around his firm thickness.

“God, you’re incredible, Riley--”

------------------------------- Caroline (Chapter 3--Name TBD; TNA/OH crossover)

"Hello? Anyone here?" Her voice echoes throughout the Dalton penthouse as she pushes the stroller further into the living room.

A stirring Mason catches her attention as she cautiously bends over to settle him down.

"It's okay, um--" she looks at his monogrammed onesie for his name, "--’Mason’. Come here, sweet boy," she snuggles him into her neck, soothing him with gentle rubs and taps on his back. "There, there."

"Sof?"

The platinum blonde instantly twirls around to face the deep voice as she grips tightly around Mason.

"Oh, Sam--" she sighs with a forced laugh. "You scared me--"

"Is Caroline with you?" he stutters as he finishes his whiskey neat.

"No, um--" she bounces Mason on her hip, averting her eyes to a yawning Mickey. "She--she should be back sometime this evening though. I--I don't know--"

"Is--" he interjects, his voice growing husky, "--is Robin here?" Sofia feels the prickling of a thousand goosebumps ignite across her body as Sam's hand glides across her lower back. She clears her throat, stepping away from him.

"C'mon, my little munchkins," she joyfully chimes to the twins as she gathers Mickey into her arms. She sits them softly into their play pin, tossing each of them a musical toy.

As she stands back up, Sam grips tightly to the curve of her hips

"Sam--!" she gasps as he intimately runs his hands across her abdomen to rest on her voluptuous breasts. Her eyes flutter shut; she nibbles on her lips as he nuzzles his nose into her neck. She feels him grow against her backside.

"Sam, please--"

"'Please' what, kitten?"

"Ugh--" she scoffs as she throws his hands off of her body. "We said that the last time would be our last--"

"Please, Sofia, " he stops her in her tracks, "I need--" his lip trembles; liquor dances on his tongue as he leans closer to her dangerous curves. "I need--"

"--your wife."

"Fuck!" He abruptly throws himself onto the couch, raking his hands through his thick, tousled hair.

"I'm losing her, Sof." He leans back on the couch as Sofia cautiously sits next to him. Heated tears streak down his chiseled face as he plays with his wedding band. He lowers his voice as he chokes on his sobs.

"I think I've lost her. "

-------------------------- Boughs & Mockingbirds (Part 5; TRR/TRH)

After modeling three dresses, Hana twirls out in a dreamy white ball gown with a flattering fitted-bodice. The ornate gold filigree bead-work brought out her natural ethereal tones, instantly brightening and highlighting her gorgeous, exotic features.

“Hana--!” Riley spits out her sparkling water. “Oh-- oh my God!” With a stunned-look plastered on her face, she jumps from her bed, skipping quickly to her floor-length mirror. “Look at you!”

“I’m guessing this is a keeper?” Hana giggles as she walks on her tip-toes, envisioning the dress with her new shoes.

“Uh, yeah!” Riley squeals, twirling Hana’s silky hair into a make-shift up-do to show off her bare skin. Biting her lower lip, she lowers her voice to whisper into her friend’s ear: “Not to mention, a certain ‘Maxwell the Glorious’ won’t be able to keep his hands off of you.”

“Riley! You’re wicked! We’re just--” she blushes while shrugging her shoulders, “--um, friends.”

“I’m pregnant, not stupid,” she jokingly chides. “These past few weeks with the book tour, I’ve noticed you two becoming quite the dynamic duo.”

Hana falls silent; she mindlessly admires the beading of her white gown with her fingers as a joyous smile crawls across her face. Her bright, brown eyes pierce into Riley’s as she slowly nods.

“He’s pretty great--”

“I knew it!” Riley grabs Hana’s hands as they dance recklessly in a circle, laughter filling the room.

“Oh, you’re gonna dance with somebody--” Riley sings, purposely changing the lyrics to jest with her best friend.

“I’m gonna feel the heat with somebody--” Hana cups her mouth, laughing at herself with what she just sang.

“’Heat’?” Riley howls. “Ow! Ow! Now who’s being wicked?” They both grab their bellies as their sides ache from their silliness and excitement.

“Oh gosh,” Riley strains to breathe, “Thank you, Hana. I haven’t laughed like this in--”

“Oh my God! Riley?” Hana’s voice suddenly drips with panic. “Your nose--” ------------------------ Fractals (Bonus wannabe series; crossover of Platinum/TRR; I have fantasized about this series for probably 8 MONTHS, and I finally took off writing a chapter; this is a smidge of that chapter, and this series will come, at the earliest, after B&MB)

“Here’s to living in the headlines,” she mutters to herself, offering her glass as a toast in the air. She tosses the rest of her drink back. The bartender quickly replenishes the alcohol as she digs frantically in her oversized Dior bag. Pulling out a lone cigarette, she sets it neatly between her teeth as she searches for a lighter.

“Miss?” a soft, baritone voice calls to her, but floats away as she continues to sift through her purse. The gentleman clears his throat in hopes of catching her attention. “Pardon me, miss?” His thick, European-influenced accent is more apparent this time, but still she doesn’t notice.

“Excuse me, miss--?”

“What?” She interrupts angrily as she hastily swivels in her barstool, knocking her bag and its contents on the floor. “Shit--!” she clumsily fumbles to the floor to gather her belongings.

“Here; let me help--”

“You’ve done enough, sir--” she cuts off the young man as she madly shoves tubes of makeup, magazines, loose coins and scrunchies back into her satchel. She looks around the floor for any wayward items when she notices something black being offered to her.

“Miss?”

Looking up, she finally takes notice of the man behind the voice. And freezes. The electricity of his presence overwhelms her fragile senses. He offers her a bright, charming smile, creating dimples that soften his chiseled bone structure. A sensual aura of citrus, guaiac wood and leather dance across his coastal skin as sun rays illuminate brightly from his wavy blond hair.

She gradually stands along with him, her brilliant jade eyes locked into his striking baby-blues. His strong physique impressively towers over her petite frame. She admires his handsomely neat demeanor of pressed dark-wash denim with a light heather-gray sports coat.

“Hi,” she manages to squeeze out as her mouth confuses between dropping and smiling.

“Hello,” he chuckles with a smile. “Pardon me, but I do believe you, um--well, you, uh--,” he pauses as he glances towards his outstretched arm, “you dropped these.”

Regretfully breaking her trance from his hypnotic gaze, the color quickly drains from her face as the feeling of horror crawls across her porcelain skin. Her crotchless, black-lace g-string tangled effortlessly between his fingers.

“Oh-- oh my God!” she shrieks as she reaches to grab and hide them; but unfortunately, the missing gusset between the leg bands, snags on his gold signet ring, leaving his first two fingers hung on the crotchless portion of the thong.

“I must say,” his eyes twinkle as he laughs harder at her incessant efforts to detangle the fabric from his hands, “I didn’t realize getting into a woman’s undergarments would be quite this easy--” ------------------------- Title TBD (TNA Valentine’s Day: First vs. Last... this is in the Once...Always... Universe, and I just couldn’t get it finished before Valentine’s day. So! It will be coming out on another random holiday lol)

Reaching for the doorbell, she catches her reflection in the apartment number brass plate. And panics.

Oh, God! I--he can’t see me like this!

It has been nine months since Brynn caught her husband cheating on her with their daughter Olivia’s nanny. With the story hitting every gossip column and news channel, multiple women came forward with their private trysts with Sam over the years; however, most of their stories will never be heard thanks to the family’s heavy payouts for their silence.

Sam and Brynn’s divorce was finalized five months ago, two days before baby Charlotte was born. Despite the scandal, his lies and his betrayal, Brynn wars with her feelings towards Sam. He was the love of her life; even though he broke his vows, she never dreamed of going back on her own. He made his choice; he didn’t want to be with her the moment he chose to have his extramarital affairs. But, everyday life without him by her side is awful, like living a horrible nightmare. Her heart flutters around him, missing him terribly, but her brain begs her to stop.

Brynn pinches her cheeks to life as she swipes on a rosy color of gloss on her pout. She finger combs her almond tresses into a low ponytail, ensuring the wayward wisps are hidden.

The door suddenly opens, catching Brynn by surprise.

“Mommy!” A curly-chestnut hair Olivia dashes to Brynn with open arms.

“My baby girl!” Instantaneously, she welcomes her oldest daughter into her arms, pulling her up onto her hip for a sweet hug and tender kiss. “Did you have fun with Daddy?”

“Uh-huh,” she beams, “Look what I made you!” As she pulls out a bright pink homemade Valentine, Sam steps around the door with baby Charlotte in his arms.

“Princess--” he whispers in a deep, syrupy voice, “what do you say?”

“Oh, yeah!” her chocolate brown eyes brighten to her mom, “Happy ‘Valentime’s’ day, Mommy!”

“Happy Valentine’s day, baby girl!” Brynn squeezes Olivia into a tight embrace while she presses her lips into her cheeks. “C’mon, let’s get your things.”

As Brynn glances back at Sam, the wind is abruptly knocked out of her chest as she sees him dressed handsomely in her favorite Armani slate gray suit with soft petal-pink accents. Her eyes stay glued to him as he fastens a sleepy Charlotte into her carrier. As he stands back up, she notices his tie is crooked.

“May I?” Brynn steps forward, motioning towards his tie.

“Please,” he chuckles, “I miss your meticulous eye--”

They both awkwardly flinch at his words, Brynn focusing on the knot around his neck as Sam clears his throat.

“So--” he attempts to change subjects, “any special plans tonight?”

“Mason and Mickey are out with friends, so it’s just the girls, me, and--”

“Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown,” he interrupts as he flashes an alluring dark look at his ex-wife. He begins to run the back of his fingers sensually down her arms. “Some things don’t change--”

“But--” she glowers at him, tightening his tie close to his neck, “a lot of things have.”

mia speaks:

just a little piece for my little baby bo to make up for the angst one i made of him lmao and bcoz BIRTHDAY BOY

if it isn’t too much, please leave a little COMMENT on this piece or REBLOG if you like it! Thanky!

“No, ah—ah, it’s okay!” you interrupt him through giggles, dropping your hands down to your sides as you let your laugher slip through your lips at how such a well-built man turned into an adorable spluttering mess. He surely was different from the typical men that you had encountered throughout your modeling career.

It was like a breath of fresh air.

And you wanted more.

You were all smiles today with the girls as you all excitedly entered backstage to get ready. The show was going to start in a few minutes and honestly, despite the waves of anxiety rocking you back and forth, you were still very much excited for today’s show. After all, it’s the big event that the majority of the world waited to see.

Runway shows have never been a problem for you, that’s for sure. You were confident with your walk, but unfortunately, when it came to the Victoria Secret Fashion Shows, you were completely, utterly, nervous. Not only were you walking down a runway with people watching, but other people would be able to view it at home once it’s edited and polished. People from around the world would be able to watch your performance and you knew the VS Fashion Show was the talk of the world when it was that time of the year.

Flashing a cheeky grin towards Candice, she gives you one of her own with a wink as you both sat down on your respective prep chairs that had your names on it and waited patiently for your assigned makeup artists to get started.

“You ready?” Candice asked from her seat next to you. All you could give her was a nod and an excited squeal, causing her to laugh. “Have you invited anyone today?"

"Oh, yeah. I’ve invited my best friends from high school since we’re around their area but that doesn’t matter since none of them responded to me so they’re probably too busy,” you said with a frown.

Candice reaches out towards you, placing a comforting hand on your shoulder. “Well then your best friends are obviously missing out."

You couldn’t blame your friends for not being able to attend your shows, no matter how vocal they are when it came to supporting you through scheduled video calls. They were all equally busy with their lives unlike during high school where they could find the time and support the other whether it may be your small local fashion shows or their volleyball matches.

You wouldn’t have been able to make your dreams fully come true without their help and support. You had always dreamed of becoming a model. You were good, everyone adored your signature catwalk more than anything. Though, for the first few years when you just began, it was a little tough and a lot of competition from other aspiring models. You started off in social media, showing off your looks and your best friends were the first ones to promote it, especially Shoyo, who even ran around the halls of Karasuno High School, waving his phone in front of the faces of students to show you off. And you even had Tsukki sharing your posts though, as usual, he acted as if he was being forced. Eventually, despite still being in high school, you were recruited by a small modeling agency and from there, everything changed. All thanks to your best friends, of course.

They never stopped supporting you, always finding the time to support your shows and even having them as your own team and because of their hard work and your own, slowly but surely, as you reached your junior year in senior high, you eventually got a name for yourself after a while, but projects didn’t come as easy or often.

Though, that changed as soon as you approached your senior year during an after party for one of your shows. As usual, you had your team (aka your group of best friends) present with you and all their praises towards your performance during the show gained a lot of attention from various popular brands that were present as well. If anything, you were completely embarrassed by their excessiveness as brand owners began approaching you, but you were more than grateful for that night, for them, because after that night, projects started pouring in.

It was all thanks to Shoyo’s contagious energy, bouncing from one guest to the other, asking them what they thought of you. Kageyema’s persistent pestering, telling brands that they would miss out if they didn’t give you a chance, and he didn’t give them a chance to decline, not that they could anyway with how determined he looked. Then there was Yamaguchi, dragging Tsukki along to talk to different brands regarding your work, the usual tag team when it came to helping you, it almost seemed like a bad cop and good cop scenario, the receiving end not being able to escape until the two were satisfied. Even Yachi had some connections due to her mother, and had introduced you to the people she knew.

And since then, everything took off and after becoming a well-known model in Japan, you eventually gained the attention of a huge brand that offered projects around the world, and who were you to decline such an opportunity? So as your modeling career skyrocketed, you found yourself exploring the world right after you graduated from Karasuno.

Despite being busy with your career and the time differences, you made sure to keep in contact with the people who helped you reach your dreams and they did the same, none of you drifted apart, always updating the other when needed. Invitations to your shows were always sent to the group, always expressing one day that they would be able to attend your shows. Especially since you had been recruited to become an Angel two years prior, but with everyone’s busy schedule and not having the ability to afford plane tickets to wherever the VS Fashion was being hosted, you and your friends found the time when the show would be aired and face timed each other to watch. And of course, the overwhelming love and support spilled from their mouths.

Still, a part of you wished they would be able to attend your show today since it’s being hosted in Tokyo. You wished they would be able to see your growth in person.

A loud squeal breaks you from your train of thought. You glanced over to one of the new girls that have been casted to run this year’s walk. "Wonder what’s that about…” you heard Candice beside you. You simply shrugged.

“There are some really hot guys!” she squealed excitedly, clapping along. “I was taking a peek outside and saw them! They’re seated front row! Those seats are usually for our personal guests, someone tell me right now whose guests are those and please introduce me at the after party!"

You and Candice turned to look at each other and burst into a fit of giggles.

It wasn’t uncommon for the new girls to look around the guests to drool over celebrities that were invited, like a predator looking for its prey. You weren’t going to deny, but you were one of those girls too during your first year as an Angel, and had shamelessly flirted with one of your favorite celebrities during the after party. Thinking about it now, maybe you’ll have some fun later and find your own person to flirt with later but for now, you’re just silently praying that you don’t trip on the runway.

"Okay, can I just say that I’m really nervous right now?” you squeaked, a shaky breath escaping your lips. Your makeup artist patting the liquid shiny highlighter along your cheekbones with her fingers as Candice laughs beside you.

She counters, flashing you a reassuring smile through the reflection of the vanity mirror in front of you, “You’ll be fine. Just relax."

"Thank you, Shelly.” you said to your makeup artist before she gives you a nod and walks off. You let out a whine and throw your head back, your eyelids fluttering shut. “Easy for you to say, I’m opening the show this year.”

Candice extends her arm out to reach for your hand and gives it a gentle squeeze, hoping to calm your nerves. “You’ll do good.” You could always count on Candice to soothe you. That’s what best friends were for.

“Y/N! Hurry up over here, you need to get changed!"

You snapped back to reality and immediately jumped off of your seat and headed over to wardrobe. The last thing you heard from Candice was a yell of ‘good luck!’ before everyone begins fussing over your outfit.

Music now blaring, excitement all over the atmosphere as the crew prepares the cue to signal you in. You were opening the show this year. The first set, which was called 'Snow Angels’ and you had been given one of the privileges of having huge fluffy white angel wings. It was heavy but nothing you couldn’t manage due to your rigorous training to maintain your model physique. They were huge and even had a trail that led down to your feet, you were able to grasp on it, to make it flow and follow you along every step. You had decided to hold onto them as you walked, an idea popping into your head. Along with the wings, you were dressed in white lace lingerie that fit perfectly and gave some accent to your well toned body. The lingerie had been adorned beautifully with gems that gave them a boost, making it sparkle when lights shine towards your direction. Plus, the silver heels were to die for. You really did look like an angel.

Bobbing your head to the music, dancing along to calm your nerves. You keep your gaze locked up ahead, a small smile playing on your lips. This is what you enjoyed the most, despite the nervous feeling you felt, you loved the adrenaline that coursed through your body. The adrenaline that pumped through your veins whenever you walked, you enjoyed the catwalks the most in your line of work.

Hearing your entrance nearing since there was a rehearsal beforehand, you already knew when to start walking despite being given the signal from the crew members that stood around you. Giving them your signature cheeky grin, they give you their thumbs up of good luck with a smile plastered on their faces.

Following the beat of the music blaring through the place, your feet carried you through it, going exactly at the pace of the beat. As you reached the middle of the stage, you started with your signature catwalk entrance that your fans adored, you had your back facing the crowd for a second before you heard your cue to spin around from the music. You flashed the crowd with a smile and this only caused them to erupt into cheers. You began your walk, your feet taking you along in sync with the beat, your hips swaying to the rhythm. Letting your wings go for a second, you encouraged the crowd to go louder with your hands as you walked along the path, the smile still on your face.

In an instant, your eyes catch a glimpse of a familiar mop of bright orange hair and your eyes widen ever so slightly, not expecting to see your group of friends standing up clapping happily at the sight of you with the biggest smiles on their faces. Time seemed to slow down but you were able to see them clearly.

Yachi waved happily towards you with tears in her eyes, Yamaguchi giving you a thumbs up and a wide smile while Tsukki just looked at you with that irritating smirk but he looked proud, nonetheless. Kageyama waving a little flag with your face printed, his usual sheepish smile that you were accustomed to nowhere to be found, replaced with a wide smile that could compete with Shoyo’s. Speaking of the ball of sunshine, there was Shoyo, gaining the attention of the camera crew, jumping around excitedly with one hand in the air and his phone in the other, most likely capturing your walk, all the while, shouting your name.

However, that wasn’t what just had caught your eye but the familiar looking person next to Shoyo who was equally as energetic as he was and you couldn’t help but let the warmth rush to your cheeks at the way he was looking at you in awe. A sudden surge of happiness bubbles in your chest at the sight of the duo excitedly chanting your name over the loud music, you were sure that the editing team would use the footage for when the show airs all over the world.

Despite not fully recognizing who the person next to Shoyo was, you couldn’t help but feel the butterflies burst in your stomach as you caught his eye. You were used to this kind of energy being best friends with Shoyo but something about his whole aura wanted to make your heart burst from the excitement. Summoning the courage, you send a flying kiss and a wave towards his direction. A grin makes its way to your lips at his unexpected reaction. It was like the one in cliche romantic movies where the guy captures the flying kiss with his hand and presses it to his heart before sending one back. You were hooked.

As you reach the end, you give the crowd, especially looking at the camera, your signature pose before gripping onto the wings once more, swaying yourself to create a flow as your eyes focus on the camera capturing your movements as if to seduce your viewers. Breaking out into a breathtaking grin, you spun around to walk back. As your feet carried you, you couldn’t help but glance back at where your friends were seated, your grin never wavering at the sight of Shoyo waving like a maniac, pointing towards your direction as he began telling the people surrounding him that he was your best friend.

Your eyes caught golden ones once more and your heart skips a beat at the evident adoration mixed in his orbs. You felt breathless and giddy, slightly flustered at the thought of this mysterious man that was seated next to your best friend. You mentally note to yourself to ask Shoyo about him later and silently hope you would see him at the after party before disappearing to the backstage to prepare for your next set.

You had 3 sets for the year, the first one with the 'Snow Angels’ and then a set during the middle of the show and then the last set for the evening. The second set involved you wearing a sort of witch costume. You wore deep purple lingerie with a tiny hat that was pinned comfortably at the side of your head. The purple heels weren’t just a finishing touch, but the witch broom too. And the final set you wore, black lingerie. It was more of a corset but the texture was wonderful, lace, with some parts see through. You felt confident, so beautiful. A skirt was paired up with it, a small trail following you at the back.

And every single time you walked down that runway, you would glance over at your best friends and him, winking playfully or sending kisses, Shoyo thinking it was directed at him but little did he know that it was for the energetic man with spiky white-grey hair with black streaks that resembled a horned owl that was on the receiving end of your playful gestures. And the man himself knew it too, playfully sending it back that made your heart beat rapidly in its confinement. Your friends, well aside for Shoyo, probably noticed that everything was directed to him, but you couldn’t find yourself to care as your confidence was at full percentage with how sexy you were feeling wearing lingerie.

As the show ended and you stood there happily in a line with the rest of the girls, your bubbly self began to show as you began dancing along to the beat of the music. It was another successful year.

Now, it was time for the after party.

You barely had the time to search for your friends as you were always pulled by either your co-angels or people you had wanted to work with. It was so difficult to reach them as they were situated from across the room, having their own little party and not really wanting to leave each other’s side, but you really wanted to join them at the realization that the man that was seated next to Shoyo earlier at the show, who you had been practically flirting throughout your walk, was a part of their group and it wasn’t just a coincidence of them seating next to each other. Then again, something in the back of your head was nagging you that you knew him, something about his aura completely familiar.

After what seemed like forever, you were finally able to slip away from the people who wanted your attention, having the chance to see your friends after so long. However, before you could approach them you were pulled back by your forearm and as you were about to reprimand the intruder, your plan of actions were put to a halt as your eyes met his golden orbs.

“Hey, hey, hey?” he starts sheepishly, a small smile playing on his lips as he releases his grip.

A giggle slips past your lips as your shoulders relax. “Hey, hey, hey,” you repeat his words teasingly with a playful grin, “And what can I help you with?”

“This may seem really weird since we don’t know each other but can I ask you a question?” he asks, shifting his tone to a more serious one but with one look into his eyes, you can see them twinkling with playfulness and you couldn’t help but nod your head to his request. “Did it hurt?”

Brows knitting together in confusion, you tilt your head to the side at his question. “Did what hurt?”

In a second, his features shift from the serious one that he had to one where his lips twitched to a grin, “When you fell from heaven.”

You suppress the heat that wanted to rush up to your cheeks from his cheesy pick up line, completely flustered. You were used to guys flirting with you but how was he able to surprise you and made you want to squeal like a high school girl? However, despite being flustered by his flirting, you weren’t one to back down so easily. Blinking a couple of times, trying your best to not look fazed by his words. “Are you implying that I’m Satan?” you ask, folding your arms across your chest as you arch a brow at him.

He doesn’t expect your answer and turns into a spluttering mess before you. “No, I—I just,” he stutters, brows furrowing in frustration thinking he had failed to woo you with his pick up line, he was going to reprimand Atsumu who had told him it would work. “You—you’re an angel, ah you know, a Victoria’s Secret Angel, and I—”

You interrupt him through giggles, dropping your hands down to your sides as you let your laugher slip through your lips at how such a well-built man turned into an adorable spluttering mess. He surely was different from the typical men that you had encountered throughout your modeling career.

It was like a breath of fresh air.

And you wanted more.

Just as he wanted more of you when he stops his explaining at the sight of you bursting into a fit of giggles and he couldn’t even find himself to be embarrassed anymore at the sight of in your bubble of happiness, the way your face were scrunched up from laughing or how the sound of your laughter was like music to his ears, a smile making its way to his lips as he watches you in amusement. Ah yes, you truly were an angel to him.

“No, ah—ah, it’s okay!” you gasp out through your giggles, shaking your head slightly as you try to regain your composure by holding onto your sides, “I didn’t mean to ruin your attempt at flirting.”

He tilts his head to the side, the smile on his lips widening. “Oya? Why’s that?”

“Well...” you trail off, a smile matching his as you relax from your outburst, “I wouldn’t oppose to such, if it’s from you, that is.”

He’d have to thank Shoyo for bringing him along. Your mere smile from afar was already breathtaking but now that he was close, he wanted to see it every single day of his life. Extending his arm, he holds his hand out for you to shake, “The name’s Bokuto Koutarou.”

Taking his hand in yours, your eyes widen slightly as his name slips out of his mouth, “The Bokuto? The one that Shoyo’s been gushing about during freshmen year? I knew you looked familiar!”

“The one and only,” he chuckles as he shakes your hand, listening intently as you introduce yourself, not wanting to let go of your hand just yet. He lets your name roll off his tongue experimentally and you mentally note to yourself that you loved the way that it did. “It’s nice to finally meet you.” A Happy Birthday indeed.

Grunt: The grunt has been working on building muscle, but her years of starvation and abuse have left her permanently stunted.

Algor: Despite being absolutely fuckall massive, he’s not too interested in honing his physique. He’s got some scholarly chub on the way.

Poom: Actually more muscular than you’d give him credit for- though still malnourished and spindly. His baggy clothes are in part to hide a very embarrassing hourglass figure.

Height:

Singrid: Just a few inches shorter than her brother, much to her dismay

Grunt: Shorty due to malnutrition

Algor: Fuckall massive

Poom: Comes from a pretty tall family, but just so happens to me the shortest member of that family. He thinks he’s shorter than he actually is.

Handiness:

Self explanatory

Intelligence, Scholarly:

Singrid: While Singrid was offered the same education as her brother, she struggled with even the most basic concepts. At a certain point she decided her job was just to carry heavy equipment. Living proof of nature vs. nurture.

Grunt: Scouted by inquest recruiters as a child. The Grunt was subjected to the standard foot soldiers ‘education’ within the Inquest. It wasn’t all that great, but it wasn’t like she could leave.

Algor: Personally tutored by his adopted asuran father- surpassing the potential of even some asuran peers in Rata Sum. Living proof of nurture vs. nature.

Poom: Got along okay in school, enough to Graduate Dynamics with above average grades. His true passions lie in paranormal investigation, which isnt as revered in Rata Sum. People just assume he’s crazy.

Wisdom:

Singrid: Would look a grenade launcher down the barrel as she’s trying to figure out how to fire it.

Grunt: What the Grunt lacks in formal education, she makes up for in sheer experience. She’s worked on just about every Inquest base the Megakrewe allows such a low-ranking agent, and tangled with more bizarre magical creatures than most norn hunters will in their lifetime.

Algor: Algor began making supply runs in greater Tyria when he was sixteen, allowing him to come into his own as a traveller and genius.

Poom: Easily distracted and has a nasty habit of sharing his conspiracy theories to the members of the organisations he suspects. Common sense is not amongst his strengths.

Education:

Singrid: Technically a ‘drop out’, seeing as her father gave up on teaching her alongside her brother. However, the special attention Ruffik can give Singrid while Algor is away has convinced her to give his lessons another go.

Grunt: Didn’t so much as ‘graduate’ as she was drafted to punishment detail. Her propensity for disaster and mayhem did not make her school days enjoyable.

Algor: Greatly exceeded his father’s expectations.

Poom: A decent student, but easily distracted by his true passions.

Social Ability:

Singrid: Dreamed all her life of leaving the Far Marina Base to party all through Tyria, only to suffer from extreme social anxiety. She’s since found happiness on the peaceful ice caps, content with her few friends and family.

Grunt: Pretty amicable, if you can get over the whining and increased likelihood of the bar burning down.

Algor: Still relatively uncomfortable in his own skin, but growing out of it.

Poom: A highly contagious affliction and subsequent quarantine has given an already antisocial oddball agoraphobia. Poom has slowly been taking steps to be more comfortable with people, and can at the very least venture outside without a panic attack.

Perceptiveness:

Singrid: Sensitive, painfully sensitive, so sensitive she becomes overwhelmed in large gatherings. Is one of the few people who can really understand Ruffik’s emotions at any given time and could be mistaken for a mind reader when it comes to people she’s close to.

Grunt: Despite her attempt at an aloof bounty huntress persona, the Grunt is mostly in wilful denial. She knows whats going on, why it’s going on, and how things will probably end. She’s very bad at pretending not to care.

Algor: His time outside the Far Marina Base has taken him from clueless hermit to what is average teenage boy. He still doesnt understand girls, though.

Poom: Absolute dogshit at reading social signals, to the point of being near debilitating. His friends have to intervene to keep him from being beaten up half the time.

Readability:

Singrid: There are two Singrids: The one who is comfortable and knows the people in the room, and the Singrid who is in public and trying to keep from crying. You wouldnt expect the firey young norn from the FMB to wilt so easily in a crowd, and you’d be wrong.

Grunt: Any attempts to hide her emotions are humorously in vain. Its lucky her partner, krewemate, and totally-not-boyfriend is painfully dense.

Algor: Can put up a pretty convincing stoic front. It’s when he opens his mouth the youthful bravado comes spilling out.

Poom: His high anxiety and odd mannerisms make him an open book. An open book in a language you cant read, but nonetheless open.

Introvert/Extrovert:

Self explanatory

Sexuality:

Singrid: Straight

Grunt: Straight

Algor: Bisexual

Poom: Pansexual with a male preference

Romanticism:

Singrid: Straight, Monogamous

Grunt: Straight, Monogamous

Algor: Biromantic, Open to Polyamory

Poom: Panromantic with a male preference, Monogamous

Romantic:

Singrid: Has a massive crush on her childhood friend, but he’s painfully oblivious.

Grunt: Hopelessly in love with her partner, friend, and krewemate, Anakk. Even though they live together, work together, provide each other with emotional support, and sleep together exclusively, they insist they are not in a relationship.

Algor: Would do anything for a partner to share his intellect, but is still too insecure to ask anyone out. There’s also the size factor- none of the other apprentices so much as reach his knee. That ‘tragedy’ is a bit romantic in its own right- according to him.

Poom: Is oblivious to romance, and hasnt had the best track record. His last relationship ended in nothing short of catastrophe, he’s still too ashamed to face his ex to stay long in Rata Sum. This has kept him rather guarded when it comes to relationships.

Affection:

Singrid: Very touchy. Will shamelessly pick up and snuggle anyone she cares about.

Grunt: Has a pointed distaste for ‘mushy stuff’ and goes out of her way to avoid any intimacy that could be construed as romantic.

Algor: Mostly only hugs his sister. Was more cuddly as a kid, but since the growth spurt he worries about accidentally crushing people.

Poom: Has gone three years without touch due to his affliction. Avoids touch like the plague so as not to become overwhelmed.

Disposition, Outwardly:

Singrid: Whether she’s in full swing or shyly hugging the wall, Singrid comes across as a friendly, if not rough around the edges- young norn.

Grunt: Affable and friendly until things go wrong. They’re usually going wrong.

Algor: Knows how to be polite in public. Snarks on occasion.

Poom: Absolute bastard of a man. You know this. Why even ask.

Disposition, Inwardly:

Singrid: Pretty neutral on people as a whole. Gets irritated easily, and doesnt have any kind words for people who make her uncomfortable.

Grunt: Is far more effected by her past than she lets on. The grunt is generally distrustful to strangers and spiteful to those who hurt her- even a little.

Algor: Has a healthy dollop of teen angst.

Poom: One of the more kindly people you’ll meet, once you get past his eccentricities. Genuinely doesnt want to upset anyone, and is a die hard pacifist.

Petty:

Singrid, Grunt, Algor: All petty little drama queens.

Poom: Will put up with a lot of bullshit, so long as you dont press one of his triggers. Can only really muster the energy to hate one thing at a time. Usually tries to solve ‘misunderstandings’ when they come up.

Sanity:

Singrid: Crippling social anxiety

Grunt: PTSD

Algor: He’s fine, honestly.

Poom: Autism, PTSD, Depression, Social Anxiety, Agoraphobia, probably more.

Freindliness:

Singrid: She knows who she likes, and isnt particularly eager to make new friends.

Grunt: Finds it relatively easy to get along with people, especially if theres alcohol involved. She has a strange habit for attracting the affections of much larger and more powerful beings. Anakk, her skyscale Mr. Bastard, and the hulking inquest abomination Brukk, to name a few.

Algor: Able to chat up strangers so long as he’s not feeling too self-important. He’s growing out of that bit, though.

Poom: Absolutely desperate for validation. Can and will join a cult if he’s not claimed.

Stoicism:

Singrid: Will break pretty easily either from her anxiety or by getting too excited about a cool rock.

Grunt: Attempts are made at stoicism. They are laughable.

Algor: Is prone to teen melodrama. He’s growing out of it, though.

Poom: Will go home and cry for stepping on a bug.

Grace:

Singrid: Her training in the harsh Far Marina conditions have made her an adept warrior.

Grunt: Prone to disaster.

Algor: Is actually quite a talented dancer when no one’s watching. One of the ways he tries to stay in shape between studies.

Poom: If he’s not knocking something over, he’s putting his foot in his mouth.

Stubbornness:

Self explanatory

Bravery:

Singrid: Despite her issues with crowds, she’s run after icebrood twice her size with nothing but a dagger. Has wanted to cultivate an epic legend ever since she was a kid.

Grunt: Complete snivelling coward.

Algor: Will run from conflict as easily as he runs from a spider.

Poom: An almost destructive lack of self-preservation.

Loyalty:

Singrid: The few companions she has, she aims to keep.

Grunt: Wont die for the ship, but will save her favourite pirate.

Algor: Still has somewhat naive opinions on teamwork in a krewe. It’s almost a good thing he’ll likely never be in one.

Poom: Not a lot of people understand him, those that try are greatly appreciated. Even people who dont try, he’ll gladly meet half way. Even if you dont even like him at all he’s got your back. Even if you’ve just spit in his mouth he’ll-

Lawfulness:

Singrid: Does what she wants. If that means breaking some heads, she’ll do it. If it means drinking tea and brushing up on her knitting, thats her glitching right!

Grunt: Rules are for people who don’t regularly get hit by lightning.

Algor: Painfully naive.

Poom: The rules suck, but he gets in trouble enough as it is without provoking others.

Attitude:

They’re all edgy assholes lol

The Human Monster

So I posted my (vague) predictions for this episode yesterday, lets see how wrong I was! As last time, I’m watching this from the perspective of someone who’s read the manga and webcomic. Long post ahead, but let’s get to it!

Alright, looks like we’re picking up right where we left off. This marks the first legitimate Garou episode, doesn’t it? I’m so excited to see the trash son in action.

Garou’s! VOICE! I know we’re already heard it briefly but AHH! I didn’t look into the voice actor ahead of time so I didn’t have much more of an idea as to what he’d sound like but I was expecting it to be...deeper? And honestly I like this way better than what I thought it would be please keep talking my boy you cocky bastard please please

Woah ok I had to pause again to point out how much I appreciate this music. Is this gonna be the recurring Garou theme? I hope so, it’s way darker sounding than any other music in the show that I can recall and I am LIVING

Oh FUCK Heavy Tank’s arm is some body horror right there why is the skin so lumpy???? “Baaaka~” Garou is not one of my top favorite characters but at this rate I think the anime might get him there pretty quickly. And I see JC staff is cutting no corners when it comes to animating his physique I’m sure LOTS of people are gonna be happy for that

Oh my fuck Aaaand more body horror, the sound effects make it worse. I knew this was coming but I forgot. Somehow.

Um excuse me but JC STAFF WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? WHAT ARE THESE COLORS. WHY. ITS NOT EVEN LIKE YOU’RE CENSORING IT. YOU’VE ALREADY SHOWED THE WHOLE SEVERED HAND AND THE BLOOD WHAT IS THIS EYESORE. Like, the sudden randomly fast animation of Blue Fire’s hands caught me off guard completely and had me laughing even though I don’t think that was supposed to be funny? I though that was a kinda jarring animation choice but what the hell is this?

Ah yes thank you opening theme please cleanse my eyes of what just happened.

Yeah I’m never gonna get over seeing Zombieman’s pissy face at least TWICE every episode thank the heavens for that really. Also Phoenixman. I just think he’s neat ok

Also, I just realized they gave Choze silver hair when I totally imagined it blond. I guess they figured the Nazi imagery would be TOO MUCH given the character already?

OH MY GOSH ARE THEY GONNA DO A DIFFERENT S CLASS EVERY TIME?? LOOK AT THIS BABY. DOES THAT MEAN Z WILL GET ONE TOO IT WAS TATSUMAKI LAST WEEK FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

As expected, on to the Fubuki confrontation. But first I’d like to take a moment to appreciate Geno’s apron. Oh sonic SONIC! we ARE getting the TOASTER VS NINJA THIS EPISODE YES! YES! WAIT a 20 minutes later cut?? I swear they better not skip the action….

“Yo, I’m Saitama” Fucking hell the inflection of his voice when he says that is perfect. Anyway- the boarding in this sequence is messing with me. Is it just me or is every really monotone? Something just feels kinda off. There’s so many panning shots? Keep the screen still its making me a bit motion sick. This isn’t an action sequence there doesn’t need to be movement 100% of the time, it doesn’t fit well here. I’m gonna need to rewatch this beginning to end without pausing for the blog to judge it better [EDIT: after watching it in one go, its still noticable, but not AS BAD. Slightly more forgivable imo]

Fuck the fucking obligatory boob jiggle god damnit

“Are you gonna fight me with rocks n stuff? Better not” Was that a Geryuganshoop callback??

ok I put my finger on it. This whole sequence has been riddled with unnecessary panning of the camera. (90% of which is focused on Fubuki for whatever reason). This shot for example would have been fine with just gusts and rocks flying everywhere. but instead they panned up in this shot in a crooked gliding motion. why?? It keeps happening?

Why is it zooming in and turning sideways it’s getting distracting when the subject matter within the frame is relatively stagnant. Also, it got much better quickly with more action, but the Saitama speech on newbie-crushing felt kind of underwhelming. Maybe it’s just because I was already so distracted but it felt much more impactful and forceful reading it than listening to/seeing it just now.

WAIT

YES! YES!

Please let this fight be on a better note! aww, no smug Genos face. Let the boy smile for once in the anime pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? And side note- I can’t wait for every single Shot of genos to be turned into a compilation of gifs, cause thats how the fandom do these days

This whole fight just had me shouting YES at the screen THIS IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT it got so much better! So much better!! A huge sigh of relief from me over here. There are so many good shot of Genos here oh my god thank the heavens yes. Oh that muffled voice effect with the clones is cool too, oh man. JC Staff loves sonic I’m convinced. Yeah, some bits are over the top with the flashing but I kinda don’t care

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SAITAMA YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I’m so glad they nail this art style! Also I’d like to say that the anime delivered the serious series: Serious consecutive side hops 100% that is some GOOD SHIT.

OH MY FUCK did they seriously just rip the face directly out of the manga panel???? I Mean it’s perfection so i can’t blame them???? Oh Shit that’s fuckin gold and the now-vocalized ‘DOAUGHU’ is perfect.

Y’know, I knew they had to animate the tatsumaki spoon panel that shit was just too cool looking to not include. AH! Atomic Samurai’s Disciples! Oh my god I can’t wait to see them actually! Look at Kama my QUEEN

And ya know, I was completely willing to forgo the lil Aamai mask cut away but here it is. I’m gonna spare yall his stupid face. If you like Amai mask I’m sorry, you’re stronger than me.

Hah, “there’s also King, the world’s strongest man.” I just paused it before he walks in the door. Little do you know, gurl, little do you know. Oh, I appreciate the little ‘Hmph’ Fubuki does, too. Reminds me that she and Tatsu really are sisters. Ah, aaaaand there King is. AAAaaaaaaand its over just like that. Lets get through the end credits before I summarize my thoughts i guess!

well FUCK I WAS SPOT ON WASNT I?? The episode ended with Saitama and Genos getting their Hero Names and Garou walking away from Tanktop Vegetarian. Not gonna lie I’m proud I called it to a T.

All in all, I didn’t love it as much as the first episode, but I loved it nonetheless. Aside from the one color disaster and the Fubuki confrontation scene (which admittedly, is a big deal) I was REALLY digging it all the way through. It seems to me they struggled with making an emotionally impactful scene with only minor elements of action. The King scene last week was great, no nauseating camera movement or anything- just exactly what it needed to be. The full on action sequences were also fine this and last week. I don’t know if it was the combination of dialogue and static characters mixed in with Fubuki using her telekinesis that threw them for a loop but it definitely felt like they had issues with that scene. Not as bad as I initially felt, like I’m not mad at it per se, but they’re still there. Otherwise no pacing issues or anything- actually they covered exactly as much ground as I guessed they would and it felt great! I have today come to the conclusion that JC Staff loves Sonic and also has a weird thing about panning shots of Fubuki. Good episode still had me shouting YES repeatedly at the screen.

Seeya next week!

Trend or Issue Analysis

Selling Sex and the Double Standard

Sex sells. Sex sells everything from books, films and clothes to car insurance and fast food burgers. And of course, sex sells music. You can find it in every genre - rap, pop, country, rock… music has been a way for artists and their listeners to feel sexually liberated for decades. When we look back, it’s almost laughable to think of what was once considered ‘risque’, like when Elvis Presley caused a frenzy with a single thrust of his hips. But with a new century came new social norms, and both female and male artists alike are much more open to marketing their sexuality through their music, outfits and dances. However, the music industry and the world has cast a double standard when it comes to male artists vs female artists (or even any non-heterosexual artist). While the world will sexualize a female, no matter her age or what she is wearing, there is still a prejudice against any female artist that chooses to openly sexualize herself, and it seems as though nobody is ever quite satisfied with how much or how little skin a woman chooses to reveal.

Women, especially women in the public eye, have always been criticized more harshly than men when it comes to their looks and how they choose to dress. In more recent years, Billie Ellish has been an example of a young girl who wanted to avoid this at all costs. She inspired a new fashion standard of wearing oversized, baggy clothes that hid her body from the outside world. Billie has talked about how she didn’t want to give the press any reason to comment on her physique, and wanted to be heard for just her music. But in the past year, as she’s turned eighteen and paparazzi photos of her in a tank top leaked, there were a few weeks when her body was all that the internet was talking about. The moment she wasn’t covering her body, the world was open to sexualize her, body shame her, and do everything she had tried to avoid in her career. It’s especially disturbing considering that around this same time, she had just turned legal age, and people jumped at the opportunity to make inappropriate comments now that she was no longer considered a child.

Other female artists who chose to take a different path to willingly sexualize themselves, have faced even harsher criticism, at an even younger age. Britney Spears made herself into a sex icon when she found fame when she was fifteen or sixteen. She purposefully marketed herself as a ‘tease’ through her promiscuous but still tasteful outfit choices, baby voice and choreography. An example of this is in her hit record “Baby One More Time”. The music video is set in a highschool, where Britney wears a short uniform skirt, a tied up and slightly revealing white blouse, knee high socks and pigtails. She knew that the industry would sexualize her against her will, so she decided to take the ropes into her own hands and give them what they want. She played a fantasy, a flirtation that was just sexy enough… all the while she was a young girl still under the legal age to give consent, but the world was still eating her up and spitting her back out until she got to her infamous mental break.

Another issue is the fact that male artists haven’t been held accountable for their actions against women, and in turn female artist’s careers have suffered. At the 2004 SuperBowl HalfTime Show, Janet Jackson performed alongside Justin Timberlake but the performance went south when Justin ripped off Jackson's bra and top, revealing her breast on live national television. Instead of the scandal being turned against Timberlake’s action, Janet Jackson was torn apart by the media, and her career suffered for years after as she was held responsible for the wardrobe malfunction. Justin Timberlake only recently came forward with an apology to her, and an apology to women in general for not speaking up for his co-performer and his fault. It took sixteen years for people to reflect on the underlying sexism, and racism, that defaulted in the world to blame the woman for what happened.

These double standards have most recently been on display in the reception of WAP. A recent trend on Tik Tok was a dance to the song by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. The song had mixed reactions, most of them either praising or slandering the two women for their graphic lyrics and choreography. The song left little to the imagination, essentially telling women to embrace their bodies and sexuality because it’s a powerful tool against men. Most of the backlash was around how sexual the lyrics were, and how Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion were so clearly using sex as a way to sell the song. However, artists like Drake, Lil Wayne or the Weeknd, who range in the same hip hop and pop style, have used graphic lyrics to draw in listeners for years. The difference is, these men are sexualizing women from a male’s perspective, but when WAP empowers women to do the same to themselves with their own will, and to put men in the same perspective, it’s ‘unclassy’ and inappropriate. Nonetheless, the two performed the hit song at the Grammy Awards this year, and didn’t hold back from sexual choreography and performance.

In conclusion, the music industry and the world will sexualize women and then shame them for embracing or pushing against it. Although females have the ability to freely express themselves nowadays, there remains an audience that criticizes them for using sex as a selling point, even with countless male artists doing the same. It all traces back to the historical oppression of women, and the notion to keep them from expressing themselves in any manner that doesn’t align with society’s wants from them.

Macros vs. Calories vs. Inuitive Eating: What’s Best?

There are some issues nearly everybody is aware of. Take this one: To drop a few pounds, you want to watch what you eat.

Anyone will let you know that.

But how precisely do you monitor your meals consumption?

Some consultants let you know to depend energy or meticulously measure each macro. Others encourage you to estimate parts. Still others need you to “listen to your body.”

Sometimes it looks like the complete well being and health business is split.

But guess what? Calorie counting works.

Measuring macros? Also works.

Tracking hand parts? Same.

Mindful consuming? Intuitive consuming? Yep, these work too.

You get the image: Every methodology works. (If applied properly.)

The actual query: What’ll work finest for you… proper now?

In this text, we’ll assist you to to find out the best method to handle your meals consumption, based mostly in your private preferences, way of life, and targets. You’ll uncover the solutions to those frequent food-monitoring questions:

Do you actually need to depend energy and macros? And if that’s the case, for a way lengthy?

Is monitoring hand parts anyplace close to as correct as weighing and measuring your meals?

Can methods like aware and intuitive consuming actually assist you to drop a few pounds? Or are they overrated?

These solutions might help you (or your shoppers) lastly get the outcomes you need. And alongside the best way, achieve much more: a wholesome relationship with meals and the abilities that make nutritious consuming appear easy.

+++

Most individuals don’t notice how a lot they’re consuming.

Case in level: Research exhibits people typically under-estimate their meals consumption, typically by as a lot as 30 to 50 %.1

Two seemingly causes:

1. They don’t notice how calorically-dense many meals will be. Yes, they may know an overflowing plate is a certain method to pack on the kilos. But two slices of meat lover’s pizza earlier than mattress? How unhealthy may that be? (Try 1,000 energy.)

2. They typically misjudge parts (round two-thirds of the time, in truth). Without a helpful reference level, it’s straightforward to by chance eat much more energy than meant.

As a consequence, many individuals wrestle to acknowledge what number of energy their meals have and fail to eat meals in appropriately-sized parts.

(You’re in all probability not shocked by this.)

But there’s a widely known repair: meals monitoring. Namely:

Calorie counting

Macro counting

Hand portion monitoring

These strategies act as “external guides” that may assist you to eat the suitable quantities of meals on your physique on the proper intervals. Do that lengthy sufficient and also you’ll start to retrain your physique to higher regulate the hormones that let you know whenever you’re hungry and full.

You’ll additionally be capable of extra simply alter your calorie and macronutrient consumption, which is essential for altering your physique weight and composition (and even retaining them the identical).

Think of those meals monitoring strategies as dietary coaching wheels.

They provide the steering and calibration you want to obtain steadiness by yourself.

Some individuals want these coaching wheels for longer or shorter durations of time or require a mix of monitoring methods to search out their steadiness.

But finally, the objective is to shed your coaching wheels—or exterior guides—and transfer in direction of understanding what, how a lot, and when to eat with out militant monitoring or monitoring.

Because let’s face it: Counting energy and grams is numerous work. And although it may be very helpful for brief durations of time, most individuals don’t need to do it long run.

This is the place “internal guides” are available in. Specifically, aware consuming and intuitive consuming.

These strategies are important for serving to you tune into your physique’s urge for food alerts. They assist you to higher sense whenever you’re actually hungry and to cease consuming when you’re happy. This is a talent often known as self-regulation.

Babies self-regulate naturally, stopping after they’re full, regardless of how a lot milk or components is left in a bottle. Most adults, nevertheless, have forgotten the right way to faucet into this means.

Mindful and intuitive consuming might help you regain this talent. These strategies additionally improve the outcomes you get from meals monitoring. (And vice versa.)

All of which helps you extra simply handle your meals consumption, based mostly on a mix of:

starvation and fullness cues

dietary data

understanding what works for you individually

This is the place most of us need to be. But nobody accomplishes this in a single day. It’s a talent that takes observe.

Our information will present you the right way to get there.

Choose the suitable methodology.

Determining essentially the most applicable methodology comes right down to selecting the correct instrument for the suitable job.

You can do that by asking:

“What problem does food monitoring help me solve?”

Think about why you need to handle your meals consumption. Maybe you need to…

Lose weight and get more healthy

Better perceive your consuming habits

See how your weight loss program impacts athletic efficiency

Look higher

Achieve a particular physique fats share

Improve your relationship with meals

Work in your consuming habits and meals consciousness

Depending on what you hope to perform, one strategy could also be extra applicable than one other.

But it’s unlikely any single methodology will preserve working long run.

In reality, you’ll get higher outcomes by combining approaches over time. Use the information that follows to find out which methodology:

makes essentially the most sense on your present targets

feels doable

suits your day-to-day routine

Method #1: Calorie and macro counting

With calorie counting, you’ve gotten a set variety of energy to eat every day based mostly in your top, weight, age, exercise degree, and targets.

With macro counting, energy are divided between three predominant macronutrients: protein, carbohydrates, and fats. (Alcohol can also be a macronutrient and might be tracked, if desired.) Rather than counting energy particularly, you retain monitor of what number of grams of every macronutrient you’re consuming. (This not directly tracks energy too, since macronutrients make up the energy in meals and drinks.)

Though calorie and macro counting are barely completely different, they’re comparable within the sense that they’re each fairly labor intensive. With both methodology, you’d ideally use a meals scale and/or measuring instruments (cups, spoons) to weigh and measure your meals at nearly each meal.

You’d even be looking out a calorie database (reminiscent of MyFitness Pal or Cronometer) to search out and log the dietary worth of what you’re consuming. Or you may use diet labels to manually calculate your consumption.

Why use calorie and macro counting?

Research exhibits it really works. Tracking energy and macronutrients—even with out every other dietary counseling—helps individuals lose as much as 5 % of their physique weight, finds analysis.2 For somebody who weighs 200 kilos, that’s a 10-pound weight reduction.

It gives maximal precision. Calorie and macro monitoring aren’t 100 % correct, however they’re essentially the most exact strategies out there exterior of a lab. Important word: If you resolve to estimate serving sizes—as a substitute of weighing and measuring your meals—this methodology turns into much less correct.

You study calorie counts. By monitoring macros or energy, you turn into extra conscious of what number of energy are in every thing you eat and drink. Like that a typical Eight-ounce margarita has 450 energy or that your favourite restaurant salad packs extra energy than two Big Macs.

Calorie and macro counting work properly for…

Short-term use. Tracking your energy or macros for a few weeks might help you study extra about your present consuming habits. It additionally provides you a greater understanding of applicable parts. Once you’ve gotten the hold of it, you may transition at hand parts and, finally, self-regulation.

People with superior wants. More precision is required for extra exact targets. For instance, let’s say somebody must weigh precisely 125 kilos to make their weight class, or be precisely Eight% physique fats for his or her occupation. Tracking energy and/or macros is usually the best method to get there.

Numbers-oriented people. Some individuals actually benefit from the strategy of amassing calorie and macronutrient information, after which monitoring adjustments in weight, physique measurement, and well being markers reminiscent of blood stress and ldl cholesterol. They’re additionally often emotionally indifferent from the numbers—seeing them as data fairly than assigning them “good” or “bad” values. For these individuals, monitoring energy or macros can really feel empowering.

Calorie and macro counting are much less ultimate for…

Most individuals. In our expertise teaching over 100,000 shoppers, the common individual simply gained’t follow it for lengthy. That goes for everybody from elite athletes to 60-year previous grandparents. They don’t need to trouble with calorie math or meticulously monitoring every thing they eat.

And analysis exhibits that even individuals who like this methodology are likely to cease utilizing it over time.three,four One seemingly purpose: It can take the enjoyment out of consuming. For instance, you is perhaps so fearful about hitting your macros you wrestle to search out pleasure within the social points of consuming. (Like sharing an excellent meal with household and pals.)

What’s extra, for some individuals, this kind of meals monitoring may very well be unhealthy. Preliminary proof suggests associations between calorie and macro monitoring apps and three sorts of disordered consuming.5,6,7

Binge consuming: the overwhelming urge to eat as a lot meals as doable, as quick as doable

Cognitive dietary restraint: feeling such as you’re continually making an effort to restrict what you eat

Moralizing meals: labeling what you eat as “good” and “bad” and attaching your self-worth to your meals decisions

Those at highest danger: People who are typically overly self-critical, are susceptible to disordered consuming, or have had an consuming dysfunction prior to now.

This isn’t only a analysis discovering; it corresponds to what many coaches, dietitians, and counselors observe of their practices. (Which is the explanation it was studied within the first place.)

That’s why we often suggest you depend energy and macros for less than brief durations of time. Or to individuals who want to attain very particular physique composition targets for his or her occupation.

Method #2: Hand parts

In this technique—developed by Precision Nutrition—you utilize your hand as a customized, transportable portioning instrument. You’re not truly measuring your meals, however fairly utilizing your hand to gauge portion measurement. And as a result of every hand portion correlates to a sure variety of protein, carbs, or fats, this methodology counts energy and macros for you.

Your palm determines your protein parts.

Your fist determines your vegetable parts.

Your cupped hand determines your carb parts.

Your thumb determines your fats parts.

The approach it really works is easy: Just enter your intercourse, physique weight, targets, exercise degree, and consuming preferences into the Precision Nutrition Calculator. The calculator then reveals the really helpful energy and macros for reaching your objective.

Then it converts these numbers to the equal hand parts. So all you need to do is use your arms to get the really helpful variety of every day parts. (The Precision Nutrition Calculator additionally provides you a free customized report and consuming information that can assist you get began.)

Why use hand portion monitoring?

It’s handy and simple to grasp. Your arms are with you in every single place you go. They’re proportional to your physique and all the time the identical measurement. So they function a dependable reference level—with out the necessity for measuring cups or a meals scale.

Customization is easy. If you’re not seeing the outcomes you need, all you need to do is alter the variety of parts you’re consuming. For occasion, you could possibly take away one cupped hand of carbs and one thumb of fat out of your every day consumption, and see what occurs.

It’s additionally straightforward to make changes based mostly in your preferences. You can swap a handful of carbs for an additional thumb-sized serving of fat, or vice versa.

Plus, you need to use this strategy to comply with any most well-liked consuming model, whether or not it’s Paleo, keto, Mediterranean, or plant-based.

It’s exact sufficient. For most individuals—even these in search of physique transformation—it’s not essential to meticulously measure or weigh meals.

Our inner analysis exhibits hand parts are 95 % as correct as rigorously weighing, measuring, and monitoring, however with considerably much less time and effort concerned.

And since calorie databases—the instrument most individuals use to trace energy and macros—will be off by as a lot as 20 %, the 5 % distinction right here is negligible for many.Eight

Make no mistake: Hand parts aren’t as correct as macro monitoring. But they’re correct sufficient that can assist you persistently monitor your meals consumption, and attain your targets. And that’s what actually issues.

Hand portion monitoring works properly for…

People with busy, messy, advanced lives. So mainly everybody. Compared to scales and monitoring apps, hand parts make it far simpler to persistently gauge how a lot you’re consuming.

Most physique composition targets. Unless you’re chasing excessive outcomes towards a non-negotiable deadline—as an example, you receives a commission for a way your physique appears or performs—hand parts can get you the place you need to go.

Hand parts are much less ultimate for…

People with essentially the most aggressive targets. Professional physique athletes and fashions might have a extra exact technique. It’s the identical with athletes who want to chop weight or attain a particular physique fats share—reminiscent of in preparation for a UFC battle. Keep in thoughts: These individuals are basically being paid to eat this fashion. It’s a part of their job. And that comes with tradeoffs.

Method #three: Mindful and intuitive consuming

Mindful consuming means being attentive to the expertise, emotions, and sensations you’ve gotten round consuming. Practices like consuming slowly and consuming till 80 % full are part of aware consuming. Instead of specializing in consuming sure varieties or quantities of meals, aware consuming teaches you the right way to regulate your meals consumption by noticing how your physique and thoughts really feel whenever you eat.

Intuitive consuming is an identical system, but it surely rejects “diet” messaging and tradition. Intuitive consuming wasn’t initially meant to attain a particular physique composition objective, however fairly to enhance your general relationship with meals.

Both approaches contain studying the right way to inform whether or not you’re hungry or not, know whenever you’ve had sufficient, and be comfy with meals.

Why use aware and intuitive consuming?

These approaches foster a wholesome relationship with meals. By working towards aware and intuitive consuming, you may enhance your means to self-regulate. Over time, you’ll take away the coaching wheels of exterior guides—calorie counting, macro counting, and monitoring hand parts—and revel in extra flexibility and freedom, whereas staying on monitor.

Mastering these self-regulatory abilities has additionally been proven to strengthen self-efficacy—the idea you may attain your targets.9 This can work wonders on your confidence, motivation, and self-assuredness in pursuing your well being targets. (It’s fairly helpful for on a regular basis life, too.)

The rules will be utilized anytime, anyplace. No matter what meals choices can be found, you may all the time eat slowly and mindfully. Understanding what it feels wish to be hungry, satiated, full, and/or overstuffed is a lifelong talent. These strategies offer you observe.

You study that starvation isn’t an emergency. When you’re feeling hungry, it’s frequent to panic and need to eat no matter you see. But whenever you begin being attentive to your starvation cues, you study that you simply’re completely going to really feel hungry typically. And you uncover that’s okay.

Nothing unhealthy will occur should you don’t eat instantly. You may even discover the sensation passes. Or that you simply truly aren’t all that hungry. It might be you have been craving meals that can assist you address ache, disgrace, guilt, or stress. (Sixty-three % of our shoppers say emotional consuming is their #1 dietary problem.)

You may also notice you’re, in truth, actually hungry. But by understanding that starvation isn’t an emergency, you’ll have the time and area to make extra considerate meals decisions.

Our shoppers persistently report this is without doubt one of the strongest issues they study in our teaching program. Want to study extra? Check out Conquer your cravings: Break the sinister cycle that makes you overeat.

Mindful and intuitive consuming work properly for…

Anyone whose predominant objective is to enhance their relationship with meals. These are people who don’t have weight or physique composition-related targets (at the least not proper now). Instead, they only need to really feel extra at peace with their meals decisions.

People utilizing different meals monitoring strategies. (Or are able to transition away from them.) Mindful and intuitive consuming by themselves have a blended monitor file for weight reduction outcomes.10,11,12,13 But since they assist individuals construct basic consuming abilities they’ll use eternally, we extremely suggest them.

When aware or intuitive consuming are mixed with a way reminiscent of monitoring hand parts, energy, or macros, it’s the perfect of each worlds: You get exterior pointers that can assist you turn into extra conscious and make higher decisions. And you study to higher self-regulate your consumption by being attentive to how meals makes you’re feeling.

What to do subsequent…

Step 1: Start the place you’re

Determine the strategy that finest matches your way of life, targets, and preferences. For most individuals, this implies a mix of strategies.

Use the dietary coaching wheel strategy—calorie counting, macro counting, hand portion monitoring—to learn to:

Better gauge portion sizes

Build high quality meals

Optimize your progress

To monitor your meals consumption, you’ll want to find out your start line.

You can do that by coming into your particulars into the Precision Nutrition Calculator. This will present the energy, macros, and hand parts to eat to attain your required objective—whether or not you need to drop a few pounds, achieve weight, or just eat for higher well being.

Then use the targets that correspond to your chosen monitoring methodology. This is your baseline. Follow this strategy as persistently as doable for 2 weeks.

Ideally, mix your meals monitoring efforts with intuitive/aware methods: being attentive to your inner cues, consuming slowly, and stopping whenever you’re about 80 % full. (We suggest that, bear in mind?)

Step 2: Monitor and alter

When it involves monitoring your meals, accuracy is an phantasm.

All monitoring choices—even essentially the most cautious calorie counting—are inaccurate to a point. (See why right here.)

Fortunately, in the case of meals monitoring, pinpoint accuracy isn’t what actually drives outcomes.

Consistency is what’s most necessary.

Here’s why: When you monitor what you eat, no matter which one you select, you’re getting a constant measurement of your meals consumption. So although the calorie counts aren’t 100 % correct, you’ve nonetheless established a stable and repeatable baseline.

Then you monitor your progress:

Are you shedding pounds, gaining weight, or sustaining?

From right here, you merely use your most well-liked monitoring methodology to regulate your meals consumption, if wanted, to attain your required end result.

This course of occurs regardless of how correct your meals monitoring methodology. Because guess what?

There’s no method to exactly predict what number of energy your physique wants every day. Even the perfect calculators solely present an estimate to start out from.

Think of it as an experiment. If you don’t get the outcomes you need, make small tweaks till you see progress.

Let’s say you need to drop a few pounds and the Precision Nutrition Calculator advises you eat:

2,500 energy per day (should you’re counting energy)

200 grams of protein, 200 grams of carbs, and 100 grams of fats per day (should you’re counting macros)

7 palms of protein, 6 fists of greens, 6 handfuls of carbs, and seven thumbs of fat per day (should you’re monitoring hand parts)

But after two weeks, the size hasn’t budged.

Your subsequent transfer? You may cut back your consumption by:

250 energy per day (should you’re counting energy)

30 grams of carbs and 15 grams of fats (should you’re counting macros)

1 handful of carbs and a pair of thumbs of fats (should you’re monitoring hand parts)

(Or, should you’re attempting to realize weight as a substitute, you could possibly enhance your consumption by these quantities.)

Monitor for an additional two to 4 weeks, and if wanted, alter once more utilizing the identical course of.

Now you’re making modifications utilizing suggestions out of your progress, not in your preliminary calculations. This is the way you optimize your meals consumption on your particular person wants.

Step three: Find your candy spot

As you attain your targets, you may totally transition to self-regulation.

This doesn’t imply you need to neglect about energy or macros or hand parts. In reality, you’ll proceed to make use of the abilities you’ve constructed to get up to now.

For instance, you now:

Have a greater sense of what number of energy and macros you’re consuming

Understand applicable portion sizes

Have an elevated consciousness of meals high quality

You should still reference your palm when figuring out how a lot protein to place in your plate, however you gained’t want to trace it. In essence, you’ve now internalized these exterior guides.

So you’re now utilizing what to mindfully construct out meals (with out moralizing meals). But you’re solely doing so whenever you’re bodily hungry. (Unless you’re making a acutely aware option to eat one thing when not hungry.) And you then’re consuming these meals slowly, till happy.

But additionally know this: Whenever you need to make important physique adjustments, it’s possible you’ll discover it useful—even vital—to make use of exterior guides once more. The strategies are there for you, if the necessity arises.

And bear in mind: Think past the meals

Food is necessary, but it surely’s not the one factor that issues. That’s true even when weight reduction is your objective. A well-rounded program will deal with not simply diet, but in addition on:

getting extra high quality sleep

shifting frequently

stress administration

enhancing your outlook and mindset

So that you simply’re thriving in all domains of well being.

Because finally, isn’t that sort of deep well being what you’re actually after?

If you’re a coach, otherwise you need to be…

Learning the right way to coach shoppers, sufferers, pals, or relations via wholesome consuming and way of life adjustments—in a approach that matches their way of life, targets, and preferences—is each an artwork and a science.

If you’d wish to study extra about each, contemplate the Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certification. The subsequent group kicks off shortly.
