The Shakespeare line "you egg? (He stabs him)" Is totally Hels towards Wels lol
Lin you're hilarious lol
"What. Are you doing?" Welsknight asked, trying not to sound as confused as he was.
Helsknight glanced up from the book he was reading to regard him with obvious disdain. "That question doesn't deserve an answer."
"Okay fine." Welsknight rolled his eyes. "Why are you here, on Hermitcraft, reading a book."
"Because Shakespeare was made to be read in the sun, and on the stage," Helsknight sniffed. "I'm not putting on a one-man-performance, and there's no sun in hels."
"So you're here."
"No, I'm on the moon."
"You don't have to be so touchy," Wels scowled. He took a breath, and decided to try his best to be civil. "I like Shakespeare."
Helsknight dropped his gaze back down to his book, "Congratulations."
"He's a classic." Welsknight continued steadfastly. "Which play are you reading?"
"Don't you have something better to do?"
"Obviously not."
"Get thee gone, go mind your own damn business." Helsknight closed his book again, keeping his thumb on the page he had last been reading, and smacked Wels none-too-gently on the leg with it. "Out, damned spot."
"You're reading Macbeth?" Welsknight smirked. "Of course you're reading Macbeth."
"And just what is that supposed to mean?"
"It's just very on brand." Welsknight laughed. "You wouldn't read any comedy. You've got no sense of humor."
Helsknight let out a long breath, trying valiantly to maintain hold of his dwindling patience. He reopened his book and glared down at the pages, doing his best to stubbornly ignore Wels. Welsknight watched him. Admittedly, if he were a Shakespearian character, his fatal flaw would be his inability to let sleeping dogs lie, no matter how wise it was to walk away and let Helsknight read. He wasn't hurting anyone, and Welsknight didn't particularly feel like getting into a fight.
But how many chances did he get to really annoy his evil half?
"So, how far in the play are you?" Welsknight asked, earning himself a long half-groan, half-growl from his other half. "Have they killed Duncan yet?"
"Spoilers."
"You just quoted Lady Macbeth's nervous breakdown at me. You've read Duncan's death before."
"Maybe I've just heard the quote somewhere."
"Out, damned spot," Welsknight mused. "Past that then. From the damnéd spot to the candle, perchance?"
"Excuse me?"
"Fair Lady Macbeth's demise!" Welsknight proclaimed, reveling in the chagrined expression Helsknight shot him. "Out, out, brief candle? Why, life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more!"
"It is a tale told by an idiot," Helsknight glared, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
"I'm going to pretend you were just finishing the stanza, and that wasn't an insult."
"It was an insult."
"You're probably not even reading Macbeth," Welsknight smiled, ignoring the jab. "One of the other great monologues maybe."
"Don't you dare--"
"Fie, fie! Unknit that threat’ning unkind brow," Welsknight exclaimed, eyebrows raised, his barely contained grin undercutting his attempt at a dramatic gasp. "And dart not scornful glances from those eyes to wound thy lord, thy king, thy governor. It blots thy beauty as frosts do bite the meads, confounds thy fame as whirlwinds shake fair buds, and in no sense is meet or amiable."
"Would you shut up?"
"Come, come, you froward and unable worm! My mind hath been as big as yours, my heart as great, my reason haply more, to bandy word for word and frown for frown."
"Wels I swear--"
"Not taming any shrews, then?" Welsknight continued, undaunted. "Probably not. You're probably reading something violent and full of itself. That matches you best."
Helsknight got to his feet, his hand on his sword hilt, his book forgotten in the grass. Welsknight took a few steps back, giving himself a little distance to work with in case Hels decided to lunge at him. He smiled and bowed low. "I do protest, I never injured thee but love thee better than thou canst devise, till thou shalt know the reason of my love! And so, good Capulet, which name I tender as dearly as mine own, be satisfied."
Helsknight's fist tightened on his sword hilt. "I have had just about enough of you."
"No no, you've got the verse all wrong," Welsknight tutted in mock dismay. "The next line belongs to Mercurio, saying: O calm, dishonorable, vile submission! Alla stoccato carries it away."
Welsknight drew his sword with a theatrical flourish and declared, "Helsknight, you ratcatcher! Will you walk?"
Helsknight narrowed his eyes. "What wouldst though have of me?"
"Good king of cats! Nothing but one of your nine lives, that I mean to make bold withal, and, as you shall use me hereafter, dry-beat the rest of the eight. Will you pluck your sword out of his pilcher by the ears? Make haste, lest mine be about your ears ere it be out."
Welsknight expected Helsknight to draw his sword then, and respond in kind as Tybalt had. Instead, Helsknight simply stood there, studying him contemplatively. A few seconds passed, and then a full minute, and Welsknight lowered his sword, pointing the tip towards the grass.
"What's the matter Hels?" Welsknight smirked. "Too much of a brute to memorize Romeo and Juliet?"
Helsknight raised an unamused eyebrow. "What, you egg?"
Welsknight blinked, incredulously. He had enough time to place the line in Macbeth, and enough time again to remember when in the story the stupid line took place. And then he didn't think much of anything, because Helsknight had stabbed him.
"Rude." Welsknight managed.
"Young fry of treachery," Helsknight finished the line. Then he bent to pick up his book, and Welsknight respawned with Helsknight's parting words ringing in his head. "If you must know, it was Sonnet 73."
Welsknight sat up in his castle, shuddering off the last ghost of his respawn. He rolled his eyes at the unpleasantness, and then, because he was curious, padded over to his shelf to grab his book of Shakespeare's sonnets from his collection of books.
[Sonnet 73]
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see'st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire,
Consum'd with that which it was nourish'd by.
This thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
Welsknight read the poem again, an eyebrow raised. "All that drama, and he's not even reading a play."
Welsknight rolled his eyes. "Whatever Hels."
He shelved the book.

HEY HEY HEY *SLAPS YOUR FACE* WAKE UP!!! I JUST MADE THE MOST INSANE STRING OF DISCOVERIES
-Setting the scene: I can't sleep. I'm rolling around in bed. I'm thinking about Camelot. The musical. As one does. Guys we ALL do this c'mon.
-Man the love triangle dynamics changing from version to version is interestinggg.
-Man the way the show sometimes has some interesting things to say about sexuality but also sometimes wants Nothing to do with sexuality while also having it written in the text is interestinggggg.... I wonder if anyone way smarter than me has ever written a deep dive essay about THAT.
-I'M NOT GETTING ANY SLEEP TONIGHT! TO GOOGLE!
-there actually is something written up about the movie but I think the full thing is behind a paywall siiiigh
-Oh what's this? A very interestingly titled BroadwayWorld forum title about scandalous nudity??? In Camelot????
- Strap in. Go pee before I start the car. This is INSANE.
-So what I stumble upon is a theater company in Massachusetts DEEPLY embroiled in the drama of advising people that their Camelot is GONNA HAVE NUDITY. Drama from 2005 (?) trapped in the amber that is the wonderful world of the internet
- The theater goers of Massachusetts are GOOPED.
- Some of them are also stupid lots of "well if you're adding nudity maybe I'LL ACTUALLY STAY AWAKE TO WATCH CAMELOT😂😂😂😂"
-also "Listen. There has never been sex EVER in Camelot" which ????????
- Like everyone is going in like "WHERE COULD YOU POSSSSSIBLIY PUT NUDITY???" bestie...you can't come up with one educated guess where they might slide that in? "NIMUE??? WILL NIMUE BE TITS OUT?????" "Will Morgan Le Fay be NAKED??? because she lives alONE IN THE FOREST???" y'all.
- Like so so sooo many entries in before someone eNTERTAINS the thought that it could be for a Lance Genny hook up.
-I don't know if this person was referencing another production or THIS MASSACHUSETTS PRODUCTION? They made it unclear. But they mention a staging of Fie on Goodness....where Mordred riles up the knights so much....they take off their shirts????? H eLLO????? ❓❓❓
-A NEW THREAD IS ADDED TO BROADWAYWORLD FORUMS
- A NEW CHALLENGER ENTERS THE RING
-Bro. A full blown RANT from the THEATER COMPANY THEMSELVES
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-SO MUCH TO UNPACK HERE.
-What is Talking Broadway and why are you BANNED bestie??? WHAT IS THE TEA WITH THE ADMIN???
- ALSO AND THIS IS THE BIG ONE WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE NUDITY IS IMPLEMENTED VIA A TOPLESS BALLET DANCING UNICORN?????
-WHERE??? WHEN??? HELLO????
-CAMELOT YOU ARE ALREADY AT 3 HOURS NOW WHEN DO YOU HAVE TIME FOR A TITS OUT BALLET????
- it's 4 am. I flex my googling fingers. I'm getting to the bottom of this. I am NOTHING if not MENTALLY ILL ABOUT CAMELOT THE BROADWAY MUSICAL BY LERNER AND LOWE. And by GOD I will document it with GREAT DETAIL for you ALL!
- First of all no I did not find any evidence of what THIS SPECIFIC 2005 BALLET LOOKED LIKE
- But I did figure out where there was a ballet!
- Listen so there are two old men in the forums arguing about how on the OG OG OLD OLD OLD SCHOOL RECORDS FOR CAMELOT??? I guess you can catch some of the cut songs/versions of songs?
-One man insists a number known as "The Persuasion" or "Enchanted Forest Ballet" is on this record
-Other man flexes that he just got OUT his old album and it is not there.
-but either way I have my lead.
-So for those of you not SO DEEP IN THE CAMELOT SAUCE YOU CAN NO LONGER SEE THE SUN This is referring to an OLLDDDD version of the show where Mordred wants to fuck with King Arthur and keep him out of the castle so Lancelot and Genny can get caught treason hugging so what he does is he goes to the forest, finds Morgan Le Fay, convinces her to create a magic forcefield around Arthur while he's out and about so he can't move and he DOES THIS by bribing her with chocolate which works because you see Morgan Le Fay in this version lives in a home made of food BUT NO SWEETS so she can be bribed with chocol----
-yEah so that got written out of the show fast. And for good reason. But here it is if you are curious. I think this is where the unicorn boobies would be featured (yes. Remember this is about nude Camelot in Massachusetts DO NOT LOSE SIGHT OF THE PLOT HERE PEOPLE) also detail for those of you who have seen the bootleg too many times the revival repurposes this tune in the score for Morgan's entrance. NEAT!
youtube
-Okay also??? Random detail? Merlin was played by a child because Merlin ages backwards and at the end of the show that child plays Tom of Warwick. Neat
-Have you made it this far??? Are you still here???? I GOT ONE MORE THRILLING TURN FOR YOU ALL GUESS WHO WAS IN THE ENSEMBLE FOR THIS PRODUCTION OF GRITTY NUDITY CAMELOT IN MASSACHUSETTS
Tumblr media
-JOSH CHAN!!! FROM CRAZY EX GIRLFRIEND!!!!
Tumblr media
-Okay now you have made it to the end. I'm gonna need S O much coffee for work today.

Can I just say how much I appreciate Penny's italics? Emphatic, idiosyncratic, and (more often than not) more than a little ominous.
You can, you may, and you should! I put quite some thought into considering where they should land; it's a speech tic arising from low Humanity, but she does convey meaning with them.
Also, I love italics in general. Fie on any style guide that advises you to shun them. Fie, I say!

Quirk: Magician - Flame jumping,illusions, historical projections, damage transfer, steel card, air bullets, paper figurine substitutes, underwater breathing trick (more on my quirk here)
Physical abilities: incredible balance, coordination, flexibility and agility. Danger intuition.
Backstory: I literally just grew up in a happy family. Living rich and lavish. My dad is a retired top pro hero and my mom is an underground hero that works for the government. I have an older sister following in my mom’s footsteps and older brother whom is a researcher. My family often trains together and we do a lot of family activities together. I’ve been friends with Shinso since middle school and I was close with Shotō for like a year in elementary school. We’re literally twins with our heterophobia and dual color hair 👁️👅👁️.
My goal in this reality it literally to be my silliest, most autistic self. Literally me if I never started masking so people wouldn’t call me weird.
Plot (or the lack there of)
The war arc doesn’t happen. I’m not dealing with allat.
Bakugou doesn’t get kidnapped and faces appropriate consequences for his actions and behavior (I’m talking about him being a bully).
The other students quirks are stronger (I hate that Bakugou had it easy. I’m a purebred hater).
Momo was trained and is more skilled at using her quirk (she’s rich why didn’t her parents hire a trainer for her canonically?)
Tenko’s mom leaves with the grandparents and his sister before he goes out of control. He now attends UA.
OFA is still out there plotting I guess.
Mina and midoriya are blasian, and Sero is Latino because I said so.
UA is a university because why are them kids fighting?
Fusions (borrowed idea from priicklleshifts on tiktok).
Overhaul is good and works at UA in support heroes/medical.
Eri is not abused and has a decent relationship with Chisaki even though he is an overworking germaphobe.
UA Departments: Hero, Support (fashion, tech, etc), Business, Gen Ed.
Events like the sports festival only starts to happen at the second trimester (bc why tf did it happen on like the 2nd week of school?)
Japan
Due to its high safety and previously low birth rate, Japan now has many immigrants from all over
Super high tech I’m talking holographic screens, robots in the streets, virtual reality, etc
There’s a National and international tournament where schools compete to see who has the best upcoming heroes.
UA
Amenities
Along with what appears in the anime there is:
A spa on campus that is free for hero course students. They offer normal and medical massages, mud baths, meditation, sauna, steam room, lounge, ice fountain, treatment rooms and other beauty and wellness services (yes, I'm going to abuse this).
There is practically an extra little town on the mountain with the school due to all the school amenities and staff.
Massive library with study rooms n stuff.
Lots of school festivals, dances and other events.
Classes
There’s home room which is where you spend most of your time. We do gen Ed and hero law stuff with our home room.
Students can take any electives ranging from costume design to home ec, Solo training to costume engineering.
Students are encouraged to try out things through electives and clubs.
There are free lifestyle classes on weekends so you can take a quick class on cooking, sewing, gardening, first aid without the commitment or worry of grades.
Everyone gets a free holographic tablet thing for the schedule, note taking and to access the school app thing.
The app lets us access the dorms if we don’t have a physical I’d on us, order at the school restaurants with free delivery from the campus delivery bots. It’s just has a bunch of handy features.
Class 1A
Shinso replaces mineta.
There are also 5 exchange/international students in our class.
We go on a few international field trips throughout the year.
There’s a pool table and conversation pit in the dorm.
Merch
School spirit became a big thing with the influence of American immigrants and exchange students (America ya! :D).
UA has school jackets, shirts, jerseys, etc.
The gym uniforms come in different styles and lengths to suit the wearer.
Food
Instead of one lunchroom there are many dining halls around campus. If you’re a boarding student then food is free.
The restaurants have a certain numbers of items you can pick from to create a reasonable meal. Anything extra you have to pay for.
Some of the halls have larger portions or all-you-can-eat to accommodate for stunner quirks and different bodies.
Diverse food culture. (Indian, American, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican and other style foods)
There are mini break rooms around campus for students to relax,study or mingle between classes. They have free snacks (onigiri, chips, fruit, juice,etc).
There are self driving busses that drive students to the area in 10min max.
There’s also food trucks on campus (I am not being greedy. This is 100% necessary).

To welcome the king back to his human home with tattered clothing and holes in fabric was nothing unusual; human garments lasted very little on the dragon, if he managed to salvage something at all to at least hide the most important bits. But a golden feather stuck to whatever left of his cloak was... New.
And Melissa had very good suspicions about the origin of that particular item.
"Daigo," the queen picked the feather up, trailing after her husband with a slightly amused glance, "Did you happen to run into Shun earlier today?"
★. ―
In response to Melissa's question, the old thing huffed — loudly. He shook his head out of frustration and rolled his shoulders as he pushed into their bedroom. Shreds of fabric fell down around his feet ; clearly, the dragon was not interested in preserving whatever was left of his clothing.
Daigo crawled onto the bed and began to paw up the blankets, sheets, and pillows into a makeshift nest. It was the best he could do without running away to his lair. The ancient then threw his scarred body into the strange bed he had made. There were thick, protruding spikes trailing down his spine that looked similar to his horns. They trembled, matching the beast's mood.
Suddenly, Daigo groaned — and out came the reason for his silence. A mouthful of gold, shimmering feathers plopped onto the covers with a sickly wet noise. The dragon wrinkled his lips. They tasted foul.
Melissa suppressed a soft laugh as Daigo tucked his head back down, black eyes shining ominously. With a sigh, she sat next to him. Melissa drew her palm down his back, marveling ( as always ) at the transition between his scales and false flesh. Daigo rumbled appreciatively. The Queen inevitably brought her hand up further and gently moved some of the dragon's tangled hair. She dug her nails into the base of those great structures.
"I am sure you were right, my dear, whatever you two fought about," Melissa murmured.
Daigo growled, low and rattling. "He is useless," the ancient said. " — barely a dragon. Even his smell is wrong. Were he hatched from a stomach egg, I would accept it . . . but I know he came from us, eraesthyr. Azumi spoke of his egg mother, once ; I have heard of her."
Melissa carefully leaned over Daigo and kissed the tip of his exposed ear. Her husband hissed out a hot breath in response, but the Queen knew the behavior to be friendly with her.
"I tolerate him," Daigo continued, "because his mate is useful to you and for our hatchlings. I do not enjoy it. If I am to share my territory with another male, I would prefer . . . "
The Gem Demon dropped off, though Melissa understood his unfinished sentiment. Daigo was such a marvelous creature, as old as the gods and as large as a sprawling city, but he was not immune to feeling lonely. He had found companionship in his wife, whom he adored fiercely, and their children — however, they would never truly understand what it was like to be something else. Beyond the confines of weak bodies and limited minds, as Daigo said. There were colors they could not see ; sounds they could not hear ; and whole worlds of knowledge unavailable to them. Currently, the only other being in the palace that would be able to comprehend any of what Daigo referred to was Shun.
Their friendship was rocky, at best. Melissa glanced over at the gorgeous feathers on the bed, shimmering in the light of the room. They shone like the sun. It was different than the earthy, pulsing glow that Daigo's floating half - halo of amethyst and scales possessed. A stark reminder that the two beasts, while dragons, hailed from different deities. That they had both chosen radically different paths when confronted with humans didn't help, either.
"I appreciate that you allow him here, my King," the Queen replied quietly, pressing her lips briefly to Daigo's broad shoulder. "I know you are upset, Daigo — why don't you go hunt tomorrow ?? I will come visit you after my duties are done in the fields. It will be just the two of us ; I promise nothing with feathers will intervene."

This is not black and white There are no clear solutions I'm just trying to get it right And in spite of all I should've done
I was not mad at you I was not trying to tear you down The words that I could've used I was too scared to say out loud If I cannot break your fall I'll pick you up right off the ground If you felt invisible I won't let you feel that now

Know they're cutting you deep Feel the scars in your sleep What didn't kill us made us stronger Stories left on our skin Wear them with everything What didn't kill us made us stronger

Video

Exactly what happened on that podium in Seoul in 1988... and why we’ve been telling the story of shady judging wrong for 40 years.
The above video is the raw OBS footage of the United States compulsory uneven bars rotation from the 1988 Olympics.  A deduction was taken that changed the results of the medals and there is a lot to be said about who was at fault and who “deserved” medals. 
But I’ve always wondered “how the hell did this even happen”?  This wasn’t an obscure rule.  Many of these gymnasts had been to world championships the previous year.  Bela Karolyi and Donna Strauss were extremely experienced coaches.  
But also... why was it that this deduction had to be taken by vote of the Women’s Technical Committee in the first place?
Let’s start with the 1985-1988 code of points:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These paragraphs are right at the beginning of the 1985-88 Code of points.  A coach may only be on the podium to remove the board.  The code has no language for an athlete to be on the podium at all (and Rhonda Faehn who will be one of the key players in this drama was an alternate and as the competition had already started wasn’t an athlete for the purposes of this competition anyway).
Let’s go back to the video and just look at how it happened.
This is a screenshot of warmups.  The compulsory started on the low bar so the sake of this discussion I’m going to describe the right side of the bars as the side on the athletes right as they began the exercise.  In this image Donna Strauss (the US assistant coach) is on the right of the bars touching the bars.  Rhonda Faehn spends the entire warm up period on the right side of the bars with the board.  Bela Karolyi (the US head coach) is standing to the left side of the bars on the side with the stairs.
Tumblr media
The warmup ends and Kelly Garrison is ready to start her exercise.  Strauss and Karolyi left the podium and Rhonda remains where she was during warmup.  
Tumblr media
Since she couldn’t get to the stairs (and apparently she had asked Bela what to do and he told her to do ... this) she puts the board on the side and hides behind it “so as not to be in the judges view.”
Tumblr media
But let’s go back to the code of points.  Because look in the left hand corner of this image.  See the lady in the red jacket.  She’s a bars judge.
Tumblr media
Rhonda was right there in the direct line of sight for judge 4.  Kato Hiroko of Japan.
[Just as an aside this is the East German rotation much earlier in the day so you can see how every other country did this.  The coach is on the left side of the podium]
Tumblr media
After Garrison finishes her exercise the OBS cameras show the judging panel having an extensive conversation.  To be clear they are talking to each other.  Phones were how judges conferences happened.  The lady in the top left of this image is Jackie Fie of the United States who was the head judge on the apparatus.
Tumblr media
She’s got a problem.
See the code of points requires her to take a deduction of 0.50 pt for what just happened in front of her.  It’s literally her job.
Tumblr media
But she doesn’t take it.  It will be taken but after the competition is over by a unanimous vote of the WTC (with Jackie Fie abstaining).
The video doesn’t show anyone speaking to Rhonda but when Hope Spivy goes up to do her routine Rhonda has changed sides of the podium.  
Tumblr media
I don’t think anyone in the US delegation realized what had happened.  After all Strauss and Karolyi let it happen to start with.  I think Jackie Fie issued a warning for this offense instead of a deduction.  That’s why Rhonda changed sides.
Which is good because if Rhonda had pulled the board the way she did then they would have gotten a 3.00 pt deduction rather than a 0.50 pt deduction as the offense is described as “0.50 pt” EACH.  That would have left the US in 5th place rather than 4th.
Now the Karolyi/USGF argument was always that Rhonda wasn’t a coach so the deduction didn’t apply to her as an athlete.  The problem with that is that nowhere in the code of points does it distinguish that athletes can even pull the board to start with.  And if Rhonda was an athlete is... debatable.
But I think that’s how Jackie Fie justified giving a warning rather than taking a deduction. 
Despite the fact that you know... it’s a flimsy justification coming from a judge from the country involved and she’s not supposed to be subjectively interpreting things.
Tumblr media
As the story goes “an East German judge”--which I presume is Judge 5 C. Herrmann--spotted Rhonda on the podium and informed the WTC.  As we can see... everyone spotted her on the podium.  
My best interpretation is that she did in fact protest what happened to the superior jury because Jackie Fie had acted in an incredibly questionable manner by not issuing a clear deduction to her own country.
But you know... Ellen Berger, the East German WTC president who presides over the meeting where the entire committee decides to take the deduction is the shady and corrupt figure in this story.

Lost?
Ma simt kinda stressed lately
actually poate mai mult si stiu ca in trecut scrisul m-a ajutat foarte mult asa ca am decis sa ii mai dau o sansa
de curand am constat faptul ca am dezvoltat diverse obsesii care in schimb m-au indepartat mai mult de cine/ce sunt eu cu adevarat, de lucrurile care imi plac si cred ca contribuie mult la feelingul asta de blocaj
nu am mai scris de mult, nu am mai citit, nu am mai mers la biblioteca, nu am mai dansat, nu am mai iesit cu prietenii ca deh țtrebuie sa invat
m am saturat sa refuz iesiri cu prietenii pe motiv ca inca mai am examene din pacate in timp ce altii se relaxeaza pe plaje but hey i am living the luxurious life of a medstudent nu? nu asta mi am dorit?
ce asteptari aveam oare legat de experienta asta
anul 4 a fost dezamagitor si nu stiu daca din cauza ca am avut eu asteptari prea mari sau pt ca poate uneori am avut atitudinea gresita
am urat aproape fiecare stagius i dupa fiecare stagiu speram ca la urmatorul va fi mai bine
ar trebui totusi sa fiu mai kind with myself, am incercat sa fac tot ce se poate, did my best date fiind conditiile( problemele de sanatate) dar cred ca zilele astea e momentul oportun sa fac un fel de audit i guess al anului asta si sa vad ce a mers si ce nu a mers
-nu cred ca a fost cea mai buna idee sa fac o obsesie din regularitatea ciclurilor pt ca ce a inceput ca o idee bune( hei uite un supliment, pare ok, uite alt supliment, hai sa mai citesc studii, cred ca am probleme cu glicemia hai sa fac analize hai sa fac programari peste programari la n doctori, iar alt supliment, alt ceai, alta tinctura si le am tot folosit ca band aids pt lipsa de somn si de mancare nutritiva si de activitati relaxante
funny isn t it ca am criticat atata timp ideea de anticonceptionale si de a pune un bandaj cand nu faci chestii simple dar am ajuns sa apelez la pseudo-band aids ca sa maschez faptul ca AM NEVOIE DE SOMN CA SA FIU OKK
si poate chiar de mai mult somn decat o persoana normala
and there s no shame in that sincer
am obosit sa mi mai fie rusine de oboseala si de faptul ca avem cu totii tolerante diferite la oboseala si stres and thats ok
unii avem activitati tip hobby de relaxare, altii merg la sala, altii gatesc
SI E OK CA ACTIVITATILE TALE SA FIE DIFERIT, sa nu fie ca ale lui x y z
cred ca pur si simplu am renuntat si la ideea de individualitate lately pt ca m au speriat f mult problemele hormonale si nu stiam in ce directie sa o apuc asa ca am tot cautat sa vad ce fac altii...minunata intrebare * oare cum invata altii la materia asta
oare ce suplimente iau altii
* oare cum dorm altii
si cand nu mi am gasit raspunsurile la cei din jurul meu, am ajuns sa caut pe reddit absolut oric eporcarie doar ca sa imi confirm eu alte lucruri
ce chestii functioneaza, pro si cons si observatii
scortisoara pt cicluri?
sau low carb
balonare dupa high protein( posibil problema cu metabolsimul sulfului=lipsa molibden, cupru?)
albire par lipsa cupru?
gluten dariy intolerance nu pot spune ca am scos ever glutenul pt simplul motiv ca credeam ca ovazul nu are gluten
OBSESIA cu productivitatea si comparatul cu alti oameni
-low carb vs high carb

A bottle of pocari sweat is tossed over in Atticus' direction. Giacomo had watched the match, and quickly noticed his comrade's poor reaction to the abyssal nightmare terrain. He gives a quick nod, acknowledging the struggle, but chooses not to put too much emphasis on it.
"Ya did great out there, made us all proud dude. Take a load off."
The bottle is noticed just before it almost hits him and he fumbles catching it, twisting the cap off and nursing it between his hands. Giacomo's match was soon, which he was excited for. The thought of being seen at such a low, however, made him frown a bit inwardly.
He sipped at the drink before he stretches his legs out, going from cowardly curl to halfway relaxed.
" Fie, I was made a fool out there by a simple shift in the ground. I could have fared better. "
He shrugged a bit.
" I am excited to witness your match -- and I will have another chance in the type experts category soon. "

First gen Honda CR-X Mugen Pro Light Tune and stock comparison.
Translation of picture text first followed by main body of text
Mugen's Thinking Light Tune is coming, it's a cafe racer 49-64 MOTUL Mugen CR X PRO. By Tomohiko Tsutsumi LAP 1'14 "70
● Infinite Aero Line ・ The biggest feature of the body kit. The upper panel around the light has been replaced and the semi-retractor bull has been eliminated. A highly reliable product that was developed through wind tunnel experiments, including other kits. ● No bore-up or compression ratio UP, and the normal usability is still higher in the high rpm range. It is an infinite tune that can be used even with. Specifically, it takes steps such as high-speed high cam and built-in reinforced valve spring. PGM --FIE 120ps / 6500rpm16.5kg --m / 5600rpm HONDA ALVES OPRO's beautiful silhouette is enhanced with a 2 inch UP asso. 50 Tire suspension is reinforced only for shock absorber, and coil spring is normal, so it is very easy to ride in the city.
MUGEN CR --X PRO. HONDA TwinCam MUGEN CRIX The professional bodywork is so beautiful that it seems like it will be raced as it is. For the engine, he has reinforced valve springs to prepare for high revs, and he also has a mirror finish on the valve itself, which makes him more efficient in combustion. The exhaust is a combination of his 4-2-1 octopus legs aimed at exhaust interference and his muffler with low exhaust resistance, both made infinitely. The suspension increases the rates of the springs and dampers and addresses the strong grip of the Potenza RE. When I run wrapped in a high-pitched sound, I feel a sharp rise in the torque from around 3000 rpm. However, although the combination of reinforced suspension and high grip gave a sharp response, he often has a strong tendency to undershoot from the top to the exit at the corner, and even if he steps on the accelerator, he loses. The behavior is so stable that, like the Honda Twincam, changing the tires to around Advan HFIR Type D will not shrink for another second. The tune level is also more sensuous than that of the twin cam, so I'm looking forward to the next attack. On the other hand, the Honda Twin Cam CR-X Pro incorporates an infinite body kit in appearance, but the engine is basically untouched and close to normal. Infinite 4-2-1 installations and lighter flywheels (6kg) are prominently mentioned. As expected, the engine has a good upswing, and 0 → 30km / h acceleration is 5 ・ 24 seconds, which is about 1 second faster than the normal 6 ・ 20 seconds. Two types of tires were available for testing, the Pirelli P7 (195 / 50VR15) and the Advan HF-R Type D (175/70HR132), but for matching with infinite absorbers, the HFIR Type D. It was good with Gun. MUGEN CR-X In the latter half of the corner, which was difficult for the pro, it traces the line as the steering aimed, without slip loss. The lap was 1 minute 13 seconds 3 and cleared the humiliation of the infinite professional. Tsumi

Purely for absolute ridiculousness and hilarity, can I get a 💋 for Tuuya and Tantor? 🤣🤣🤣
Tuuya wasn’t making too many extraneous trips these nights, hidden in the cavern as they were, but they hadn’t seen Tantor (or indeed most of their friends) in ages.
So the drinker crumbled when their alien friend invited them out; why not? They had to leave sometimes to get blood for themself and Uunive anyway, there was nothing wrong with a nice little detour.
Contentedly full for once after finding a circus and their kills to feed off of (and plenty of blood bottled for Uunive and themself for later), the bundled-up worm swarm now happily browsed a clothing store with the purpleblood.
“Hmmm, I’m not so sure I like these designs.” Said the false jade critically. “Not badly made, but they lack a certain charm. Tantor, what do you - Tantor?”
They looked around and realized their tall friend had been entirely distracted by a blueblood woman with unusual dark markings on her face and hands - and strange dark eyes as well. Fortunately, she didn’t seem bothered by the attention, more entertained than anything by the indigo’s enthusiasm.
Hm. Something about her…
Slightly on edge, the rainbow drinker tried to casually slide over to their friend and his new acquaintance, until they got a few feet from the pair and realized both were laughing at them now instead.
Befuddled, the worm swarm’s ears flicked, and their gaze darted around to find the joke - failing until they looked up.
Ah. Mistletoe. Very amusing of the store’s employees to put that there.
“Well! I won’t make you go through with -“
Tantor looked disappointed, and Tuuya had to tone down their snort of amusement.
“I want to see what it’s like!” He said, grinning.
“Well, fie on you, I kiss like anyone else.” They said, waving a chiding hand at him.
“Or you could be yourself.” Said the blueblood delicately, but with a knowing smile. “Let me distract all the trolls for us.”
Oh? How generous of her, and what an act to raise so very many questions, but that could wait until later.
Well, if that’s how both of them wanted it…
Tuuya rolled their neck, cracking it, and then opened up their face into a writhing, toothy maw, only their eyes still intact, and smiled up at the omnibeing with their multiple rows of fangs and wriggling worms.
“Come and get it, Tantor.” They said, low and teasing, hands on their generous hips.
“I promise I only bite a little.”
