Minho x Reader [Warnings: dry humping, a filthy blow job, probably some medical inaccuracies, Minho calls Felix Yongbok bc canon and that's his Yongbokkie]

Note: Helloooo, this is my first time writing in this style! Just trying something different for this particular piece. Also, I started writing this before we found out about Minho's hand, so I promise I wasn't making light of his injury! Just a coincidence!

Let me know if you like it!!

Minho who hurt both of his wrists somehow, maybe it was a misstep in dance practice that sent him to the floor, or a stumble at the airport. His wrists are sprained, he's in two clunky arm braces to keep them still, and he's not meant to participate in any strenuous exercise that would involve movement of them. It sucked, being hurt, and he was missing schedules, he would fall behind in learning the new choreography, and he was setting the comeback back by a couple of weeks -- but it wasn't the worst thing. He could use a small break, even if it's just a week or two, of resting and taking it easy after nonstop months of producing content.

Minho who enjoys the break for about a week before he started getting a little stir crazy. Eating was a chore, a true test to his patience instead of being something gratifying and he couldn't cook much. He could move his wrists a little so that the muscles wouldn't weaken from not using them, but barely enough to eat, let alone prepare a full meal. Everyone else in the dorm was so busy that nobody was really cooking, so living off take out has made his face swollen and a bit puffy. Which he wouldn't mind as much, if not for how annoying Seungmin's been with pinching his cheeks and cooing at him for it. He can't even properly exact revenge and the creatine is taking full advantage of that.

Minho who can't touch himself properly and is starting to go crazy because of that too. He doesn't have to do it every day like some (namely Jisung, the little pervert), but he does it often enough that a week and a half in he's starting to feel it. Every morning he's waking up with something stiff between his legs, and he's helpless to it. Minho believes he has enough mental fortitude to look past his horniness, because no orgasm would be satisfying if he couldn't properly use his hands. He could wait it out, the braces would be off within two more weeks, he'd be fine.

Minho who breaks the day after he'd made a pact with himself to hold out. In the daze of his morning wood and being two seconds from sleep again, he rolled onto his front on his bed. Minho bunches his blankets up into a wad, then presses into it, a reedy sound leaving his mouth, unfamiliar to his own ears. It feels good, really, really fucking good, but it isn't enough. Still, it doesn't stop him from trying. He ruts pitifully into the blankets, chasing after a release he knew he wouldn't find, leaking precum in his briefs. It's embarrassing, how badly he needs it, how desperately he's trying for it -- but there's nobody home. Everyone left early this morning, so he was safe to do this for a little while, until he gets frustrated and takes a cold shower instead.

Minho, who forgot Yongbok's friend had spent the night and had promised to wait around for him to get back from schedules so they could go shopping, or out to eat, or whatever. The friend who Yongbok had made promise she would bring Minho breakfast in the morning, so that he wasn't fumbling around the kitchen himself. Minho had told him that he didn't need that, that he wouldn't want his friend going out of her way for him, but he refused to listen, and so did she. Which was surprising, she's usually pretty quiet, but the sudden headstrong attitude started him into silence and acceptance. "No earlier than 7AM," he told her, "I'll at least try to sleep in."

Minho, who doesn't hear the perfunctory knock on the door before it opens at 7:05 (of course she is close with Yongbok, because he barely waits half a second before opening the door after a halfhearted knock as well -- he doesn't care what he sees when he ambles in, usually caught in his own head about whatever he'd come for in the first place), and only realizes that Y/N is standing there with a bowl steaming in her hands when she says, "Oh, shit, sorry," as if this wasn't embarrassing enough, Minho has to let go of the pillow he'd caught between his teeth, "I should've waited for you to reply."

Minho, who knocks his head against the mattress and gives a disbelieving laugh, because of course this would happen to him. He's at the edge of his rope, he just wants to cum, and he can't even do that without being caught humping the bed like a desperate dog. He's caught between wanting to apologize to her for seeing him like this and wanting to scold her for walking in, in the first place. He doesn't get a chance to do either because Y/N offers her help instead, gentle and not in the least bit suggestive sounding, despite what she was suggesting, "I can help you out, if you want," she told him, "Yongbokkie thinks my mouth is really good."

Minho, who really doesn't have a chance to consider what that means, because since when was Yongbok getting his dick wet? Is that why he's always so calm? How long had she been doing that? And would he be okay with her offering that to Minho? Wouldn't he be upset? Or were they not together like that? He makes a confused sound in his throat, nervous to turn around where he knew she'd be able to see how hard he was, but too mortified to stay in the position he's in. So he flipped onto his back, and tries not to wince when her gaze zeros in on his cock -- so fierce, he's sure that he could feel it burning him, "I told him to ask if you needed help, but he didn't listen to me," Y/N continued to say, "Swore up and down about how you don't like asking for help, that you'd have to really need it to accept it, and I think humping your blankets is really needing it, right?" It was a fair assessment, and he feels his ears get hot, "I'll help."

Minho, who agrees because. . .well, why shouldn't he? She's offering, and he's hard and horny and wet, and he probably isn't thinking the clearest. He'd never thought of Y/N in that way, she's always just been Yongbokkie's sweet friend and that's it, but now he can't get the image of her with his cock in his mouth (or Yongbok's cock, for that matter) out of his head. With great effort, he scoots himself up the bed, among his pillows with his back against the headboard while Y/N got herself comfortable between his spread legs. She doesn't bother to take his briefs off at first, burying her nose against the hard swell beneath the fabric and breathing in deep. His face feels like its on fire, because who just does that? And why is he so turned on by it?

Minho, whose mind is spinning because this sweet girl's mouth is made for more than gentle compliments and clunky sentences in a language Yongbok is working hard to help her with. It's made for wetting the thin fabric of his light colored briefs, sucking opened mouth kisses that add to the growing wet spot on him. He has a hard time figuring out what was from him and what was from her, but it hardly matters. He throbs and twitches with every suckle and lick while she saturates the cotton. And when he is about to start whining at her for teasing him, her fingers dip beneath the elastic and fish his cock out from the briefs. A small, contented sigh leaves her mouth, like she'd been waiting all day to get her mouth on him. The head is flushed ruddy and dripping, shiny with his own slick and she shows her tongue to wet her lips, and he's throbbing again.

Minho, who can only gasp when she says, "You really needed this, right? I would have helped sooner. I like drinking cum from pretty boys," because what is Yongbok teaching her? But before he can ask, she's swallowing his cock down in one go and he cries out like he'd never been touched in his life. It sure feels like that right now, and the tight, wet heat of her mouth makes his brain melt, and any hope for thoughts that surpass, this is good, this is good, this is good leave his head. His brain to mouth filter evaporates, he spreads his legs further, "Fuck," his eyes roll back, because if he looks at her then he'll cum and he wanted to enjoy this for a little while at least, "Who taught you to be this naughty?"

Minho, who wasn't really looking for an answer, but Y/N slips off to tongue at his slit any way, then drools a glob of spit on his shaft and fucks him with her hand, "Yongbokkie," she replied without thought, "He trained my throat really well, now I can take all of you pretty deep." All of them? He can't clarify because she's sucking his balls into her mouth and soaking them with her tongue and his mind fizzles out again. It's too much, all of it, and she does it with a practiced ease of someone who is taking a lot of cocks in her mouth and his mind is reeling with it. She slobbers and drools and sucks until she's licking back up to the tip, taking him down, down, down, until the head nudges at the back of her constricting throat.

Minho, who comes with barely a warning scraping away from his tongue but Y/N doesn't mind. She withdraws just enough so it fills up the pocket of her cheek, squeezing the base, working him through it. He thinks his vision whites out for a second, he's almost positive he might have momentarily blacked out from the intensity of it. It burns from his fingertips up through his chest, spiraling through his whole body like summer storm lightening. It's a lot, his muscles lock up, he thinks if there were any time to understand the universe it would be now after he just flooded her mouth.

Minho, who isn't sure what to expect exactly, but certainly didn't expect her to crawl back up his body, tilt his chin toward her mouth and fix their lips together. He didn't expect her to push his cum into his mouth either, in a kiss so filthy and gross he knows he's going to be touching himself to it for months to come. At least he doesn't taste all that bad, as she makes him share, and he moans pretty pitifully against her tongue.

Minho, who finally opens his eyes after some time and is greeted with a smile, "Good news is, we were quick about it so your food is still warm," she tells him, "Should I feed it to you? I don't mind." And who would have thought that, with his softening cock against his thigh, and his wrists in braces, that Y/N would offer him something like that too? She'd already done too much, hasn't she? More than she'd been requested to, should he really let her feed him? Or was she joking?

Minho, who quickly finds that she isn't joking at all actually. She doesn't wait for him to answer before she's offering him rice and a sliver of egg from his bowl, holding it out toward his mouth. Minho parts his lips, she presses it inside, then gives an even bigger, triumphant smile when he hums at the taste, "It's good, hm? I made it myself."

Minho, who decides that he needs to know more about her, needs to implant himself deeper into her life, needs to ask Yongbok where he found her and if he's willing to share.

As someone who got COVID March last year, still experiences heart palpitations, and is often fatigued now - should I try the creatine thing you're doing? If it doesn't work, I could just stop, right?

Are there side effects I should watch out for?

There is one specific symptom it is useful for: difficulties in processing blood sugar into ATP energy, where it helps by replacing with energy derived from breaking down stored fat. Over my (9 now, I think) cases I've encountered other fatigue symptoms, including one that was really an iron deficiency and one I suspect was "post-exertional malaise", the creatine did nothing for them.

Creatine is pretty safe though, your body makes some naturally all the time, if you took a bucketload on the reg it might gratuitously let you burn too much fat doing exercise and then starve in a famine.

I would say it's worth trying once – take say 4 scoops, it'll take effect within 20 minutes, if that clears it up yay, take it every day and it'll burn fat to keep you on until the symptom clears, if it makes you feel a bit better but not totally try some more until you find your level, if that's not it sorry but maybe suggest it to other people with fatigue.

#long covid

[wumblr]

things i wanted to speculate about but didn't really think it was responsible to do that without any evidence

(covid depletes ATP; creatine supplies phosphates that allow depleted ADP to be resynthesized into ATP. under normal circumstances this lets you get a little more energy out of your energy. that's about as far as my knowledge goes which is also why i didn't want to speculate. creatine does have overdose risks so consult your doctor and so on)

Avis Abstraction #7: The Gift of Family

Year 1

The Holidays were always Theresa’s favorite time of year. There was just something magical to the atmosphere of change and renewal that came with the season. With all the hard work and stress done; the end of one year leading into the infinite potential of something new. And of course always having those you loved the most with you to see you into that blank slate. And since her son had finally moved across the country for his first year of school, this Holiday season was particularly meaningful. It’d only been a year, but she still missed him so much. Her pride and joy. Her beautiful baby boy. So smart. So sweet. Now that he was back home she was intent on spoiling him while she could. And for once he actually seemed to be embracing it. He was eating more than she’d ever seen. Endlessly hungry, talking about the details of his High-scale Physics courses between mouthfuls of Rice and Bulgogi. It went over her head a bit but she was happy he was happy. She had a few questions however about the list of Christmas gifts he’d requested. “So what is this Creatine stuff you kept asking for? And Protein powder? I got it for you but goodness You have no clue what they put in this stuff. I don’t want you taking drugs Clark. None of this Steroid nonsense, Please” “Momma, come on. I promise it’s all-natural. They’re just supplements. I’ve uh..I’ve started working out a lot at the school Gym. I Promise, it’s all highly researched and 100% safe” Despite her son’s reassurance she still didn’t trust it. But when she looked at that soft baby face and saw how happy those simple -if a little pricey- gifts made him. It was worth it; Clark was a Good boy. She trusted him.

Year 2

“Lemme get that for you, Momma” “Gosh when’d you get so big and strong!” Clark lifted all of the Christmas shopping in one trip. Even took some of the bags from his father which made for a bit of a tense moment. Seems like he was taking this gym thing as seriously as his studies. Maybe a bit too seriously. She had seen the syringes while cleaning his room. Spotted the acne along his broad back while he was getting out of the shower. He kept repeating the same explanation “Just having a late growth spurt I guess, Momma. Don’t worry bout it” But..she was good enough at not seeing things when they made her boy happy. And he was doing so well in school. Full scholarship. Straight A’s. If he was having a good time with his protein powder and Creatine and…whatever else, then she should let him. He was looking so much bigger. Pretty soon it’d be difficult to buy him clothes that fit properly, though he did seem to prefer a tighter cut now.

He always was a smaller kid; sometimes a little sickly. Bullied and beat up a lot but momma was always there to patch things up. Nowadays he looked like he should be protecting her. But no matter how much he grew she knew he'd always have that sweet, soft face. He was a lot more confident. Lot more outspoken. Sometimes to the point of snapping. But he’d always apologize right after. She just chalked it up to having a bit more freedom. Finally growing up. But she’d always be happy to have her baby boy back home.

Year 3

The Holidays were Theresa’s favorite time of year. Change and renewal and all that. But she felt a little overwhelmed by all of the ‘atmosphere’ that seemed to arrive when Clark walked into the house. She loved and supported him. She did. And his father did too, almost overwhelmingly. More than he ever had when he was going through high school.

It was just a lot at once. He was certainly shaping up, that was for certain. She didn’t know where the muscle was coming from. She was certainly no athlete, apart from a short stint in college gymnastics. And his dad, well...there’s a reason Clark hadn’t broken 5’10 until just this year. Now he was edging about 6 feet. He carried himself with such a swagger. He had always been prodigious and excelled at whatever he put his mind to. And he had absolutely put his mind to this bodybuilding stuff. He didn’t even hide it anymore. The kitchen table was strewn with supplements and ‘meal prep’ and weird shakes and concoctions.

Everything in his room was bought with his old size in mind, so when he came home and requested...or sort of demanded that they get a new bed they didn’t really fight it. But...there was another reason he wouldn’t be able to fit comfortably in his old Highschool twin. Her name, from what Theresa could gather, was Jenifer. That was fundamentally all she, or seemingly Clark knew about her.

She was pretty. Certainly pretty enough to make Linda feel that pang of maternal possessiveness over her baby boy. Maybe the reason Clark wasn’t all that interested in getting to know her was because there wasn’t much to know. The blonde bombshell barely seemed interested in anything more than draping herself over his Broad bulging shoulders and being a nuisance in Theresa’s holiday zen. At first she was very excited. Clarks first Girlfriend! That was until she found out..it wasn’t. It wasn’t his first. Or even his second, third or fourth. Seems he stopped counting.

It was just so much, but she was managing. Until the first night of their stay. Another surprising development she had no idea her son was capable of. She tried everything to block out the noise. E V E R Y T H I N G. It just kept going and going and going. The rhythm shaking the house and her peace. And when she thought it was over, it just went some more. By the end of the night if she knew one thing about Jeniffer it was that she was a christian, or at least you’d imagine so given how much she said “Oh God” But it was fine. It was natural. She loved him so much..until “So momma, I’m thinking bout switching my degree to something i’m more passionate about. Like Maybe sports science? The bros at the gym say i’ve got amazing potential. I could go pro in a few years” Fuck. Something in her was a little shattered by that. All those years of tutoring and now it was like she didn’t even know him. She looked at him. His jawline was more cut. His eyes a little harder. But it was still him. “Oh..well..whatever makes you happy, Sweetheart.”

Year 4

The holidays were Theresa’s least favorite time of the year. 11 months out of 12 she could live in a world of denial where her Clark was still that soft, sweet little nerd she would console every day after school. But now, when he walked through the door with one of his “Bros”, she couldn’t recognize him. That boy was gone.

His father was thrilled. Finally, a son he could brag about. IFBB Pro by 24. Total Stud. Built like a brick house. Of course he conveniently slept through the nights when his Stud Son would make noises with his Bro that even made her a little jealous. She didn’t care about that. That was preferable to a constant stream of airhead bimbos. And at least Daniel seemed polite. Clark was a different story.

He was so aggressive. So domineering. He snapped. Demanded. Whatever he wanted he got. But…he was so happy. She had seen the look on his face when he got his acceptance letter to his university. When he got his first Playstation for christmas. When he would talk for hours about particle physics.

None of those moments matched the joy that crossed his face every time he flexed or talked about working out or showed off his strength. He even seemed pleased when he announced he dropped out of school to focus on his body. It was a perverse pleasure. It almost seemed targeted at her. All she wanted was for her son to be Happy. And now he was. They all sat at the tree, even Daniel. They opened presents. Clark ripped his apart, Arms tearing through the cardboard like paper.

“Mom, Protein and Creatine! How’d you know i was running out?” He got up and hugged her and she could practically feel the effort it took in him not to squeeze too hard. He knew his own strength. She knew too. She felt it in his shoulders and his chest. In every inch of his body.

And when he pulled away he was smiling. Square jaw. Masculine features. But his eyes were still the same. Soft and sweet and smart. And she felt that same pang of pride in her chest again. Maybe she could learn to love the holidays again. Because she would always love her son.

I hate feeling like I have no energy to exercise so I asked my friends about pre-workout supplements/drinks. I don't know much about those. These were their recommendations:

Black coffee. Only supplement with good data is creatine (clean with no other additives) and hmb (for muscle recovery, and avoidance of muscle mass).

https://www.rivalnutrition.com/powder-burn/ A clean pre-workout, safe for Olympic athletes aka no banned substances or proprietary blends.

Gorilla mode is my go to pre. Tastes good. Mixes well. Works.

Ghost also makes a pretty good pre. Tastes good, mixes well, works but you pay a bit more as it also has some proprietary blend and name brand mixes (ie warheads/sour)

C4 Tastes good, works but mixes just okay. Was always getting a bit of chunks and occasionally chalky flavoring.

Hyde works, doesn't taste great, but mixes well.

Total war tastes bad (every flavor is gunk), doesn't mix well, and doesn't work.

Optimum nutrition is fine. Solid, not too expensive, drinkable, mixes but only kind of works.

Jack3D the original blend that they stopped selling will always be GOAT.

Basically you want caffeine (140-200mg) to jump start you, citralline to get blood flowing, and anything else is icing on the cake.

Personally get my aminos/bcaa and creatine from other powders but some people swear by having those in their pre too.

I don't know much about all that stuff, but when I see people going hard in the gym, it makes me want to go hard!

Rei: There is old me, walking along bursting with confidence. He seems well.

Nay, rather I am attempting to shake off my sorrow by acting tough. How pitiful.

This is… This is the truth, I am drifting overseas.

I am away from my home, troubled, full of grief, searching for something entertaining.

You won’t find your bluebird of happiness like this, young me.

Anyhow. According to the AIIE experiment manual, if you can remember the keyword before entering a dream state—

It is possible for one to interfere with the dream state you are in, or rather, interfere with yourself.

However, I do not have the freedom to move as a video game character would.

Though it is multides better than simply standing on the sidelines.

That was a real sad story, wasn't it?

What is your main motivation?

Kind of a broad-ended question, anon- but I'll do my best to answer it for ya.

So, m'not really the academic type- that's more @rifleseye's thing than mine, but I'll see if I can't bullet-point it for ya.

So, main motivation(s) is/are gonna be:

Survival— Y'might think it's a throwaway, but survival ain't just about having somethin' to drink, eat, and a place to recharge. It's about figuring out how to get supplies, the logistics of friendships, relationships, and other situations you might have to manipulate to help you blend in or mimic a particular type of people, atmosphere, or culture. People hear 'survival' and think about the immediate physical needs, but a lot more goes into it.

Emotional Well-being— Sounds like a cop-out, but lemme tell ya that if you ain't got your processor where you need it to be- you're not gonna thrive. Emotional well-being can be as easy as doin' a nice task now and then for someone ya care about- or cultivatin' a whole-aft relationship with people ya never thought you'd have stuff in common with.

Safety— Spent the whole war lookin' over my shoulder and in the ceilings and floors for threats and predators. That sorta of paranoia doesn't go away easily, and it comes laden with a whole lotta PTSD. Creatin' yer own safe spaces are essential as frag. It's the only place or places or people- where ya can allow yourself to just melt down and feel. Or just to go and regroup yourself in relative silence. I'm a pretty social mechanism- so more often than not, my safe space is certain people. (You know who you are.)

So there ya are, my top 3 motivations.

Rarely, there's a fourth; sometimes, that one is just Vengence. I try not to use that one often. Tends t'get me in trouble.

#Jazz is very much emotionally aware of his own shortcomings #he's just not gonna broadcast that to Primus and everybody without a DAMN good reason #tw: PTSD #tw: war mention

Flashback | PSYCHOBREAK 7

Writer: Akira (日日日)

Characters: Rei, Koga

Rei: Wh-what's wrong? Yer whole body's shakin', ya sick or somethin'…? Haha. What a weird kid y' are, Puppy. Koga: Sh, shut up… Don't talk to me right now. I'm desperately fightin' down the urge to hug ya and start yellin' "WOOHOO! SAKUMA-SENPAI! WOOOO!" okay?!

[ For the best viewing experience, please read directly on my blog! ♪ ]

Time: Later that day, in the dead of night.

After taking the sleeping pills again, Rei and Kaoru find themselves back in the dream world.

Rei: (Hm.) (It seems we hath safely entered the dream once more.)

From offscreen, past Rei is heard cheerfully humming.

Rei: (And lo, there goes my past self, sauntering down the street as though he holds sovereignty of it, exuding the confidence that defined my yesteryears. How spirited thou art.) (Yet, 'tis merely an attempt to cast off thy sorrow by donning a boisterous mask, is it not? What a pitiful creature.) (Let's see, this place is… It appears thou art wandering about overseas, just as I once did in the real course of history.) (Wearied by the tribulations and woes of thy homeland, thou departed in pursuit of joy.) (But no matter how diligent thy search, the bluebird of happiness shall not appear before thee, o' young one.) (In any event, according to the AIIE experiment manual, if one strongly concentrates on preset keywords, one may exert a certain degree of influence over the dream—) (Or more precisely, over oneself within the dream.) (It does now bestow upon thee the level of control which one might exert over a character in a videogame, yet 'tis still a hundredfold better than being forced to stand idle witness as history repeats itself.) (I am no longer a mere reader, passively watching as the story unfolds.) (I am alive.)

Scene change

Koga: ♪~♪~♪ ~......♪

Rei: Heeey! I'm hooome~! Sakuma Rei-chan has returned~

Koga: Sakuma-senpai- W, Wo- Wh-Whuh- Woa-

Rei: Wh-what's wrong? Yer whole body's shakin', ya sick or somethin'…? Haha. What a weird kid y' are, Puppy.

Koga: Sh, shut up… Don't talk to me right now. I'm desperately fightin' down the urge to hug ya and start yellin' "WOOHOO! SAKUMA-SENPAI! WOOOO!" okay?!

Rei: It's totally fine if ya don't fight that down, though. There theeee~re…♪

Koga: ……n!?

Rei: Okay, there there, good boy… You must've been lonely while I was gone. Sorry, Puppy. Haha. When we were younger, I used to give my lil' bro hugs like this all the time whenever he was feelin' lonely.

Koga: ……! ……! ……!

Koga: P-please cut it out… Sakuma-senpai, you're the object a' everyone's admiration, shinin' from afar. Ya shouldn't go outta yer way t' be nice ta someone like me. I'll tarnish ya.

Rei: What're ya saying, stu~upid? Am I¹ not even allowed ta give someone a hug? That'd be pretty damn sad, wouldn't it?

Koga: ……?

Rei: More importantly, some kinda sixth sense started actin' up — or rather, there was this strange sensation urgin' me on from within, so I hurried on home, but… How's the situation right now? Were ya able t' exterminate those "vampires" that were runnin' wild? Well, it doesn't really matter to me either way, though.

Koga: Nah, the situation hasn't really changed much… They quieted down for a bit, but after ya went abroad, they started actin' up again. Now they're buzzin' around all over the damned place. It's so freakin' annoyin'. But don't worry. Hasumi-senpai's supposedly revitalizin' the student council right now, workin' on improvin' the environment and creatin' rules to prevent students from goin' astray n' becomin' delinquents. Or, well, that's what he said, but t' be honest, I don't really understand that kinda complex stuff, n' if you ask me it doesn't reaaaally seem to be havin' any effect.

Rei: That sounds about right. Just declarin' yourself the student council doesn't mean anythin' if ya don't have any authority. It's like a little birdie chirpin' away in the background. People 're just gonna ignore it.

Koga: Basically, it doesn't matter how powerful yer magic cards are if the field prevents ya from activatin' its effects, huh.

Rei: Uh, what're ya goin' on about?

Koga: Um, uh… I… I like card games. That's what I was going on about.²

Rei: Ohh… Are card games fun? Teach me how to play next time you're free ♪ I'm always bored outta my damn mind, 'specially lately.

Koga: This ain't the time fer idle chitchat… Please do somethin', Sakuma-senpai. That four-eyes seriously ain't cut out for this.³

Rei: "Overqualified for the role³," huh? Haha, it'd be great if that were the case. Please grow big, bouzu. To the point where people consider ya overqualified, so ya can be my playmate again.

Koga: ……?

ore-sama-chan

Koga drops the -sama from his personal pronoun as well as the delinquent speech in this line. The kid is embarrassed beyond belief.

The word used here is 役不足. This word tends to be enormously misused by the general public. Much like the English phrase "could care less" is often used to mean the opposite of what the phrase implies, 役不足 means to be massively overqualified for your job, but is colloquially used to mean you're not up to the task. There really wasn't a clean way to translate this, as Koga uses it to mean the latter, while Rei means the former.

Creating Progress with Creatine: The Safe Health and Performance Booster

One term that frequently comes up in gym talks as one of the gym enthusiasts for fitness exploring a variety of supplements is "creatine." This isn't just a catchphrase; it's a naturally occurring substance found in meat and fish and created by our bodies. For those as curious as we are, here's everything we saw and all you need to know about it.

Creatinine is a chemical found in human bodies and essential to the state of fitness; it is not a complex term used only in biochemistry textbooks. Our muscles create creatinine due to muscular metabolism. See it as a byproduct of your muscles working as they should, particularly when engaging in high-intensity exercises like weightlifting or sprinting. Think of creatinine as the sidekick of your muscles.

Its close relationship with creatine makes creatinine a popular term among gym enthusiasts and athletes. Creatinine is a byproduct of the breakdown of creatine. Creatine is vital in providing rapid energy during brief, intense workouts. With that, creatinine is frequently checked and quantified to determine how well our kidneys remove waste from our blood. Its popularity in the fitness community arises from its potential to increase lean muscle mass and improve athletic performance, particularly in high-intensity sports.

Creatine is a game-changer, so if ever you consider using it here’s what you need to know. Creatine is backed and approved by science, it enhances performance, muscle recovery, and promotes muscle growth. Contrary to belief, it isn’t exclusive to bodybuilders only. Anyone striving for a better and healthier lifestyle can benefit especially those who are on plant-based diets where creatine is crucial since its scarcity in plant foods.

Creatine supplementation is of personal choice, which makes prioritizing professionally advised choices a key factor. Consulting with your healthcare provider is mandatory as they can provide personalized advice based on your unique health profile that is tailored to work around or with existing health conditions. Additionally, they will provide the recommended dosage for you to align with your health goals.

Though it won’t turn you into the Hulk, it is sure to provide a gradual boost to your efforts of building your body. The fascinating science behind it shows that you can gain muscle more efficiently with a regular workout program when paired with creatine supplementation. Though it won’t guarantee a drastic change to your physique, it definitely provides benefits, making your workouts more productive and enjoyable. It’s not about the overnight spectacle; it’s about the journey!

So, here's to unlocking the full potential of creatine, making each workout a step towards a stronger and healthier you – because, in fitness, it's not just about the reps but the empowering journey you're on!

♡ tips to build muscle ♡

these are my favorite tips that have helped me gain muscle mass in the gym over the past few years. disclaimer: this is what has worked for me, but may not work for you! listen to your body!:)

• eat enough protein i aim to eat around 115g of protein per day. protein comes from meat, fish, eggs, peanut butter, soy, etc. it can be found in plants (if ur veggie!) you can also use products like protein powders & bars to help with these goals.

• eat enough calories the amount of calories your body needs is completely different to another person. however, under-eating will not make your muscles grow! it is very ineffective if you are trying to put on mass to be strictly dieting, so make sure you’re fueling your body with nutrients!

• compound movements start your workouts with compound lifts. examples are squats, deadlifts, bench, etc. these movements engage multiple muscle groups & are optimal for muscle gain.

• progressive overload the best way i saw progress in growing muscle was following a plan & doing the same exercises for each muscle group, while slowly adding weight. this will increase your strength! be consistent!

• creatine creatine is a naturally found in your body already, and is a safe supplement that aids in your performance & energy levels. i take 3g per day, even on rest days. mine is from myprotein, but i also love pescience brand. just mix it into water or another drink you like!

Supplements and diet

I have decided after suffering many years to spend my hard earned money on supplements for PCOS. (I have been turned away from every doctor ever).

Most supplements do not work to their full effect for 3 months. I have taken them for 1 month and have seen improvements.

1. Agnus castus.

Researchers think this works by upping progesterone. I have to say this months period has been much lighter and much less painful. I have also been more in control of my emotions the week before.

2. St Johns wort.

I am not taking any medications, breastfeeding, or on hormonal birth control, so this is safe for me. So far, it is not a huge reduction in anxiety, but definitely fewer negative, intrusive thoughts. I was taking a low dose. I have doubled this.

3. Evening primrose oil

Again, my dose was a bit low, so I have doubled it. Because I am taking several supplements, it is hard to tell which one is working. But I am keen to stick with this for general gynaecological health.

4. Creatine

This is for more effective workouts, but studies have shown it can have positive effects in the brain. So why not, eh?

I have reluctantly gone back to a keto diet. It is very tough but is the only thing that curbs my appetite and reduces my water retention massively. After years of cycling keto, I am getting pretty confident with it.

Anyone struggling and wants to chat, please reach out. I am not medically trained. Unfortunately, I have to help myself as the NHS is struggling, and no one researches women's issues either.

Wait so what’s up with creatine. Is it useful?

creatine is a thing that is found in all vertebrates and is part of the body's systems for mobilising energy in the cells. it's also used to recycle ATP in the body and does like a lot of other stuff that i really can't explain because the science makes my head hurt. creatine hydrochloride is the isolated version of the stuff and the idea is that by giving you more creatine you can recover faster from exercise and get stronger, as well as potential neurological benefits.

and it works! it literally does work like that and even athletes who don't use any other supplements will still use creatine. the performance benefits aren't huge but they are there. it's probably the single most scrutinised supplement available and despite panicky rumours about it making you go bald or making your kidneys explode it seems to be completely safe for long-term supplementation.

the complicated thing that no one likes to admit is that there's studies which suggest that caffeine nullifies the effect of creatine supplementation, which means that bang creatine energy drink may as well be a red bull in terms of performance enhancement.

here's my personal relationship with creatine: i bought a canister. it is a pain in the ass to take because it needs to be dissolved in warm water or else it gives you stomach cramps, and because of the caffeine thing i can't mix it into my coffee, so i need to set aside time to mix up a hot creatine drink at night, every night. it's also expensive. i didn't notice any benefits one way or another, so i haven't bought another canister since then.

stronger by science has a really good comprehensive article on creatine.
