#the POWER IN THOSE SHOULDERS

[bearsbeetsbeskar]

Anyone else go feral seeing Din on his knees, with two men struggling to hold him down?

CORRECTION

It was actually 4 men, two holding him down, and two others holding the cables attached to him, cause Din is a big boy.

#growls in Din #the way I go dumb for this bucket head #its criminal #like the broadness and strength #the POWER IN THOSE SHOULDERS #i need him to hold me down and rail me #I’m always on my knees for this man but seeing him on his knees is 🫠🫠🫠😈😈😈 #din djarin #The mandalorian #the mandalorian spoilers

Hey, you're being lied to about what fitness constitutes. If you can't work in an hour-long crossfit slog, but you can work in a five-minute walk, then that is still fitness. If you can't use your legs but you can do arm circles every now and again, that is still fitness. If you're moving around at work, that's still fitness. It can be intentional or incidental, but here's the best part: your body doesn't care if you're dedicating specific work-out times. It doesn't care if the "only" fitness it gets is your nine to five on your feet. It doesn't care, fitness is fitness is fitness. Some of us do it differently, but the end result is more or less similar.

If you can do any type of fitness safely, your body isn't going to care if you're doing it like an Olympic athlete or if you're just a casual.

#fitness #gentle reminders #i hate hate hate the idea that fitness must be done Intentionally and in a Hegemonic Way #like... fitness is whatever you make of it and whatever you do #your body isn't going to be like 'well you walked for fove minutes but you didn't do shoulder presses at the gym so it doesn't count 😊' #if you want more specific forms of fitness then SURE you might want to do more specific exercises and activities #but if your goal is overall movement for however much if your body then... you don't Need to be THAT specific #and your goals may be specific for only parts of your body and that's GREAT! #a wheelchair user may for example do more arm exercises so they can use a manual chair for instance... #...and to many people i've noticed they don't think it 'counts' because the chair user isn't using 'all' of their body... #...but it's like... using your arms in non-powered chairs can be really important so like. it's still fitness. #you don't actually have to equally focus on everything if you don't want to or can't #all this to say that fitness is Not hegemonic and you don't need to feel shame about what you do or don't do #even a tiny tiny TINY amount is significant and matters <3 #this is definitely something i've gotten more passionate about since becoming a ~gym bro~ #because you see just how different people are and what they want out of fitness #and it's taught me a lot more about my own disabilities and how i work with (and even against) them to find balance #this is what i love about those fitness video games too! because they're often made to be engaging and fun! #i LOVED just dance as a kid and that was fitness merging with video games (and i loved video games (still do!)) #and i HIGHLY recommend people get video games like just dance or that one nintendo ring game because of these elements! #it combines the comfort of home with movement with engaging music/story/video game elements #and things like that make me believe in peace and love and care on planet earth <<3

Tom and Greg want what Gerri and Roman have

#like. am i wrong??? #the matching season 3 posters tell u everything you need to know about those dynamics #gerri literally had her hand inside romans collar and hes completely comfortable with it. her hand is possessive but not controlling bc the #both know shes in charge no need to force it #meanwhile tom is bearing down on greg with both hands on his shoulders and greg looks completely uncomfortable with the situation. tom #wants to establish their weird power dynamic but he has to force it bc greg doesn't really seem to want to be there. #like idk why i didn't see this before but the roman gerri dynamic (esp in seasons 2-3) is basically tom and gregs thing if they were both #into it and comfortable with the power dynamics #succession #romangerri #tomgreg #tom wambsgans #greg hirsch #gerri kellman #roman roy

Flourish AU - Dragonheart Pirkko - Durmond Priory

Champion of the Caustic Elder Dragon

"Lasting change isn't gentle. It's harsh, abrasive, and inescapable. Either we'll adapt or we'll die trying."

"A better world starts with deciding what we're prepared to lose."

#my posts #guild wars 2 #gw2 #gw2 fan submission #Dragonheart Pirkko #Flourish AU #with all the sales going on i finally finished her look #she needed the maguuma shoulders + wanderer mask #(the wanderer mask NEVER goes on sale so if you want it you better grab it like Now. no really look at the gemstore history) #(it hadn't even been in the store at all since 2022 and this is the first time it's ever been on sale I Am Not Joking) #the only thing i wish is for a Vlast variant for the Aurene leggies for her but oh well. not every dream will come true. #i really gotta talk about this particular AU sometime tho tbh... #in Regrowth she's afraid of what she is and could become. #in Flourish though? she accepts even the parts that scare her. her power isn't something to fear. it's a tool and a weapon. #the blood of the jungle dragon flows through her veins and Tyria WILL hear her ROAR. her ENEMIES should be afraid. #she becomes the Champion of Vlast for a lot of reasons but the most significant is that they're so much alike. #neither has ever been anything other than the destiny that was set before them... and they don't know who they are outside that context. #they're trapped in roles they were molded for since their first breath. they barely understand the world they were built to save. #and yet... in spite of it all. they continue on. they do what they must. they fight for those who can't fight for themselves. #they're going to figure it out together... because in this big bright bold world they're the only two that REALLY understand each other. #they want to leave the world better than it was for them. #... even if they likely won't survive to see that happen. #the future will be better because it has to be. it must be. otherwise what have they spent their entire lives fighting for? #they don't belong to this world... but they can still build a better one. one that won't need anyone like them ever again. #I have... many thoughts about these two...

wish i knew more about historical alchemy. for owl house reasons but also in general but mostly for deranged owl house reasons. i know it would enlighten me i KNOW IT. it has to be relevant. i mean. the whole glyph system. its alchemy. and all my assumptions on my sun/moon sibling thing repeating tnru history in Toh are rooted in my cursory familiarity with tarot symbology but like i KNOWWWW that [vague & desperate hand gesturing] like alchemy has the whole symbological philosophical justifications for physical properties thing going on, and, i dont know much about the specifics, but its got some of the same like...classical moon sun symbological associations. classical as in drawing on ancient greece. because alchemical science was very much building off of ancient greek natural philosophy. i would bet dana is drawing more on the alchemy thing than tarot i mean seriously she designed a GLYPH SYSTEMMMM..... i KNOW she knows more than me about alchemy ok i GET IT. i need the entire history of alchemy beamed into my brain instantly.

#i saw a post complaining that the fanon sun/moon associations arent extended to king and collector and i didnt want to bother them #bc i dont actually have those two fuckers figured out yet but. grabs your shoulders #the collector has sun and moon at the same time plastered all over him and that is on purpose he is both somehow #and i dont know what that MEANNSSS YEETTTT #he has the moons esoteric power but the suns childish naevity. and by god what does that make king #im spelling that word wrong but you know what i mean #maybe the collector was the moon to the titans sun but is now the sun to kings moon. #or maybe king is a mix of sun and moon in the opposite way to the collector and i just dont understand how yet #anyways im deranged ok . it does apply to them i know that but its fucked up. its all wacky.

generally i am a huge advocate for shows having more light and i am full of gratitude to every giffer who has let me watch that akkayan kiss all brightened and colored beautifully

...but something about the darkness in that scene hits so different. It's so purposeful, the themes of shame, longing and rebellion that is harbored within that darkness.

Akk is finally letting something come out of himself that he has held back long before Ayan was even in the picture. This kiss is about Ayan and its about more than just Ayan. It's Akk - who's so good at holding himself back, so good at destroying himself for what he's been taught is justice and good morals - deciding that something else comes first.

And maybe Akk needed darkness and maybe he needed Ayan to close the gap, to desire him back first [for real]- but Akk shows none of Ayan's timidity or confusion during the kiss. He's known all along what he desires. He desires Ayan, of course he does, but he desires perhaps even more to be there for him and comfort him - Akk has always wanted to help Ayan and in his own way has done nothing but help him.

The way those first scenes in episode 6 used fire to show how Akk's love and compassion was destroying himself - and at the end its within darkness that those soft parts of him are born anew because often its within darkness that queer love is allowed to nurture and grow

#akkayan #the eclipse #the eclipse series #the eclipse meta #this show is SO queer in a way i can't explain #it highlights those sadly lonely parts of queerness #and uses that to show the incredible resilience and power in just existing as a queer person #is it a coincidence that this is directed by a transwoman #p'golf i want to live inside your brain #and firstkhao have acted their butts off for this #and its so heartening to hear them talk about how much of themselves they have put in this #no wonder they cry every interview #dear god to have shouldered the responsibility of bringing this to life

Futaba called Ryuji a jock heehee

#chattin #strikers liveblog #got to this a while ago but i forgot to comment on it #its partially why i dont hc him as like. just toned. like the people who tend to do track and marathons #like they tend to be very lean; people will mistakenly give track runners HUGE legs and it KINDA makes sense #but most times those athletes are lean (source: i used to do track in my teen years LOL) #but ryuji likes working out For Reals. it feels like he likes working out and running #and track was the only school sports program that allowed him to expel all that energy he has #NOT to say that he only likes track bc its the only thing he can do in shujin #bc he clearly loves it #just that theres something about a good workout that feels similar to sprints and long jogs #no real equipment required like youd need for most sports #u just. go out and run. and be free. #anyway. Jock Ryuji is real and I approve #hed be so good at football man. throw it into his enclosure… #also #i know he can pick up anyone on the team w no issue i just know it #ryuji walking around w futaba sitting on his shoulders….wails…… #w their powers combined…they can see above the crowds to see the nearest food stalls

to whoever wrote donatella's pn wiki, i just wanna talk.

#i don't really believe *everything* raz says about his dad was just him misinterpreting events #and no this doesn't immediately equate augustus was abusive as he's clearly shown to have worked on himself and accept raz #if they were good memories i wouldn't have run away is extremely revealing line about the depths of augustus' anti-psychic sentiments #and how his behavior directly impacted raz and also dion and frazie in how they treat and ostracize raz out of perpetuated fear #and how all of this would create a whirlwind of negativity for raz while living at home because augustus *did* make him feel unwanted #also i think the 'scary psychic campfire storytelling time' is pretty telling of augustus too in how he would instill fear in his children #about psychics and how in turn this would make raz feel like he isn't wanted by his dad as he tried to explore powers that his father hates #yes they had 'secrets' and augustus wanted to 'protect raz' but that feeling of being unwanted and fearing his father was in there for pn1 #and it was a good thing that augustus immediately changed his tune! tho he as the dad didn't properly talk to his kids about his change #so dion and frazie are left with a jumbled mess of feelings about psychics and raz and etc #but please tell me how donatella is actually the most emotionally abusive woman in the world please inform me i just wanna know #edit - what she did do wrong was not stop augustus from spreading those very inflammatory anti-psychic sentiments #but to her defense - she was of the belief psychics harmed her husband and cursed her children to die in water #it's a reasonable and tragic fear and it's still on augustus' shoulders for how he treated raz and strengthened raz's fears of his own dad #donatella

This design probably isn’t final, I really have no idea what I’m doing 🌟

no mom i swear im normal im sure every kid ties their hair back as tightly as physically possible and uses the feeling of their hair being pulled back as hard as possible as a sort of all-day passive/background stim and will frequently tighten it again several times an hour. im totally normal

#if anyone reblogs this with some sort of 'oh wow i didnt know this was a symptom of-' im going to manifest a giant centipede at you #he will quietly sit on your head and you'll learn to ignore him for the most part but every time you eat something sticky he will #slap it directly onto the ground so everything sticks to it forever and its ruined #hes like a shoulder imp but instead hes a head centipede #what was i talking about im just thinking about this centipede now #i want a giant centipede. i mean that would be so scary but genuinely it would fuck so hard #OMGGG I SHOULD MAKE A CENTIPEDE OC FOR SCAVENGERVERSE MY WORLDBUILDING SETTING SCAVENGERVERSE #poison powers. the visual manifestation is those fucked up modified legs that they use like scary venom pincers #rotating him (he/him butch) in my mind so fast #hes just a low level villain i think. just kinda doing his own thing. being disturbingly carnivorous #oh i forgot this post was about my mental eelnesses again sorry

[ID copied from ALT: A digital sketch of my OC Mara, looking offscreen with a frown. She's wearing a dark teal raincoat with light blue accents, a dusty brown shift underneath, with a turtleneck covering her neck beneath that. Her red hair is tied up behind her head, a thin strand braided behind her ear. Her bright blue eye is glowing, and from underneath her turtleneck is a peek of a glowing blue crystal. In her left hand she is supported by a arm support type cane-slash-staff hybrid, a blue crystal at the top of the staff part. End ID]

Mara redesign is going smoothly 👍 She suffers from a crystal-based dystrophy that's slowly replacing her muscles with bright blue gemstone

#mara (oc) #mara's art #i like her hairstyle more now. keeping that braid as homage to her original design #she used to be covered in bandages but she prefers to just cover herself now #otherwise one of her arms would be completely wrapped up #new crystal growth is sensitive tho so she bandages those parts #so for current purposes her bandaging is mostly her torso and upper thighs- which are hidden under her jacket and shift #she has a friend who does her hair every day bc she currently doesnt have the shoulder rotation to do it herself #fancy cane staff hybrid is for help with walking/standing and also contains emergency treatment measures just in vase #case* #anyways i love her. besides the crystals she doesnt have any powers. she's just slowly turning into a gem #holds her gently #if i was more talented and understood how. crystal shading and refraction works in larger swathes of crystal you can see her #internal organs and muscles and blood vessels. but i cant do that. also why she covers the growth

something shifts in hermione in prisoner of azkaban. the pink-sweater blue-jeans outfit brings out the fire in her and she’s suddenly way more than the brains-only-academic-scholar that everybody has come to know.

and it’s INCREDIBLE.

the fact that she’s been using the time-turner all year to make her classes, the so-deserved malfoy punch, her stepping between sirius and harry (while they still thought he was going to kill harry), the whole process of risking everything while on the rescue-buckbeak mission and throwing rocks to get their attention, luring a werewolf in their direction to get him away from harry and sirius, etc etc etc.

we obviously knew that she was wise and smart and stuff, but the bravery, courage and loyalty that landed her in gryffindor really came out in this movie and it was so refreshing to see.

#harry potter #hogwarts #hermione granger #hermione #may i also include the fact that she went from not hugging ron in the last movie to turning into his shoulder when they saw buckbeak die #that’s not a bravery thing but it’s a shift in character for sure #romione #hermione granger is such an important character #especially for young girls and women #like yes! be smart and brave and powerful! you can do all of those at once! #truly an inspiration #the wisest witch of her age #harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban #hp poa #prisoner of azkaban #harry potter rewatch
