May I please be enlightened as to who has the best thighs in UB? 👀👀

Well I suppose it would depend on what the individual person liked in their thighs! :D

Adam/Ava has thick, muscled thighs.

Nate/Nat has very toned, long thighs (not that I'm jealous or anything... :D)

Felix/Farah has soft curved thighs.

Mason/Morgan has strong but lean thighs.

Thank you so much for the ask! :)

#a quick comic about #physicality

[zwischenland]

picnic date, her next to me and the park crowded and sunny. i read “the body keeps the score” and find myself relating a bit too much, especially in that moment – seemingly relaxed but in actuality not quite, rarely fully calm around people despite all mental progress. but later we kiss and her taste fills my awareness, almost to the point of forgetting myself. and i think herein lies a solution: a sense of being alive that i can actually access, an odd part of myself that knows want and pleasure. / the woman next to me on the picnic blanket does not understand this, only nods sympathetically when i try to explain my various struggles. i have been worrying that i cannot possibly be with a person who does not know darkness to some sufficient extent. i have been worrying about not being understood, not feeling safe. but is safety not something that exists before language? maybe i too can be safe in this way – safe like two animals lying in the sun, licking each other.

how to write the physicality of children

(this is part of my series, how to write children in fanfiction! feel free to check it out if you want more info like this!)

now, with the physicality of children, we will essentially be describing how children move, and how the physical abilities of children can change overtime. every single child in the entire world is different, but this is a general guide for how to make your child characters look and move more accurately in your writing!

how children move

now, the physical development of children can largely depend on a lot of factors, but this guide is general, so the information i will be using is based on approximated averages. there are a lot of resources out there that can help guide you if you are writing a child character with any sort of disability, or something else that would affect their physical development!

we're going to be looking at motor skills. a motor skill is essentially just a function that allows your body to move and perform tasks throughout your life. motor skills start developing at birth, and they get more and more advanced as you age. there are two types of motor skills: gross motor skills and fine motor skills.

gross motor skills are the skills that use the larger, more prominent muscles in the body. they are typically skills that require strength, coordination, or reaction time. these skills tend to develop before fine motor skills. examples of gross motor skills include sitting up, jumping, and bending at the waist to pick up an object.

fine motor skills are the skills that use smaller muscles in the body. they are typically skills that require precision or high degrees of control. these skills tend to develop after gross motor skills. examples of fine motor skills include unbuttoning clothes, hand-eye coordination, and drinking from a straw.

most children develop most of the motor skills they'll need for life by the time they're around five years old. many children still struggle with certain things after this age, but usually, the majority of things they need to know how to do are at least somewhat mastered.

in the sources, i will link a very detailed guide to what motor skills are developed at what age, but here are some of the biggest ones:

-gross motor skills: children tend to start crawling, standing, and walking with support when they are around 6-12 months old. they tend to start walking without support when they are around 12-18 months old. around 18-24 months, they start to learn how to run and jump, though these skills are still fairly underdeveloped. once they hit around 2-3 years old, running, walking, and jumping are usually considered to be fully mastered, even if they are a bit clumsy.

-fine motor skills: from birth to around 6 months old, children start to learn how to hold objects. from 6-12 months old, they learn how to do more advanced holding skills such as transferring objects from one location to another. from a year old on, their skills with their hands rapidly increase, and they pick up on doing things such as scribbling (12-18 months), turning doorknobs/using zippers (18-24 months), holding scissors correctly/turning individual pages of a book (2-3 years). once they turn around 5 years old and they learn how to write their name and brush their teeth, and other basic things like that, they are considered to have mastered the basics of fine motor skills. also, around this time, they tend to develop a hand preference (right handed or left handed).

how children look/move physically

from birth to the age of 5, there are so many factors that contribute to growth that it is very difficult to determine milestones and averages. but here are some general attributes from 6-12 years old that could be written in to hint at a child's age:

-6-9 years old: growth rate slows, established hand preference, coordination is not fully developed, needs frequent rest (around 11 hours of sleep), can dress and undress completely, able to play ball, tag, and catch.

-9-12 years old: develops more adult-like proportions, may begin growth spurt, eats neatly, starts developing secondary sex characteristics, able to perform more specific motor skills such as running, gymnastics, baseball, swimming, writing, art, music, and crafts.

now, i don't have a lot to say specifically about looks, but here are some tips to writing a child's appearance!

not all children are very skinny. it is common for children to have very high metabolisms compared to adults, but due to genetics, medical complications, and situational circumstances, many children are overweight or obese as well, and many children are somewhere in between. consider writing a child that's on the chubbier side, because they definitely exist, and it is representation that is not written enough.

some children are unusually tall or unusually short. a lot of things contribute to this such as genetics, race, medical conditions, situational circumstances, or just plain chance.

as children grow older, they develop more and more control over their appearance. maybe play around with that! think about the age that you were able to choose your own clothes, or tell your guardians how you wanted your hair to look.

also, a lot of kids don't develop awareness about their appearances and how they look until they reach around 9 years old. as you're writing children younger than that, think about how you felt about your appearance. was it fairly neutral? did you even think about how you looked at all?

i hope you guys enjoyed this guide!! it's not quite as detailed as the speech impediment one, but i wanted to write this one in case people struggle with making the child's skills match their age accurately!

The pain that comes with being physical

#physicality #body #pain

[w-armansky-blog]

Viggo Mortensen said that while some film-makers were only out for "shock value", Cronenberg had a lot more on his mind. "There are many directors that provoke but there are very few that can provoke a visceral, immediate reaction but also a long-term intellectual consideration," he said."I think his movies are generally ahead of their time."

Injury/general disability masterpost; to be edited.

deaf in both ears due to abuse; does not know ASL and can only read lips in a limited manner

lot of internal stuff due to the inherited connective tissue disorder [Marfan Syndrome]. Not super worth going over but like half his organs and entire reproductive system are hanging on by a thread and he'd probably be in a higher level of pain if not for missing/dead nerve endings [born premature]. Stretch marks, various.

mostly titanium mesh lower jaw. No teeth on right side except for a few in the front. Missing most of his teeth as a general [sexual assault, repeated]. Poorly healed orbital fractures due to this as well.

shot in the left knee 2019 IRP, remnants of kneecap later calcified. Also had a partial hip replacement on that side due to dislocation in the 1980's. + just generally fucked up from overuse of his weaker leg. Tldr walks with a limp, can't bear weight on left leg for long.

spinal cord now surrounded by titanium from a car crash in his young adulthood [flew head over heels through windshield]. Torso also looks like Swiss cheese due to this.

severe throat and vocal fold scarring, thanks Eduardo Flamingo for trying to eat him. Can't speak that clearly.

attempted lobotomy, partial skullcap replacement. Large portions of brain tissue decayed and subsequently removed [organ hemorrhage leading to clinical death for several minutes]

Wiland says, “How does heaven and nature sing?” “Like that,” we say, and point at the void-dark universe, starred and radiation-sharp.

We laugh, because we know we’re on the best world, even though we’ll never say so. Jesus stopped by, with ice in his hair, drank the longest cup of good hot chocolate. “Merry Christmas,” we say, hugging him “—and Happy Birthday!” “I love you,” he says. “See you soon!” And as he goes we hear the song, echoing forever through the infinite blackness of Space: It is good. It is good. It is good.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week
