Ok motherfuckers listen up

I was listening to the mother knows best reprise from Tangled because it’s a fucking bop, you know?

Anyway, If you followed up on one of my stories, the card one, (like the only one until I get this new one out tomorrow) they you’ll know some of my characters from the actual book I am writing, and so I was inserting them in.

Don’t leave yet I’m almost to the point.

So I was thinking about that scene where basically after Flynn and Repo have their little song together, Flynn gets blackmailed and forced to go back to prison (to save repo) and those same guys attempt to “kidnap” Repo, then of course Mother Gothel comes in and “saves the day” and manipulates Repo like, ‘this is why you shouldn’t have gone outside and listened to me’.

Yeah, Gothel is a piece of shit. Anyway, skipping past Flynn breaking out, Repo finding out she’s the lost princess, her standing up to Gothel.

Now here’s where the ✨whump✨ part comes in.

-So caretaker (Flynn in this situation) goes back to find whumpee (Repo) and they make it in, only to find whumpee chained and gagged. They go in to free them, and whumpee screams from behind the gag.

This is of course, where Whumper (Gothel) comes and stabs caretaker in the back, leaving whumpee there crying.

(So assuming your whumpee doesn’t have magical healing powers) Whumper is trying to force whumpee into a car, basement, basically take them somewhere else, and whumpee offers to willingly submit to the Whumper, never cause another problem if they get Caretaker medical help.

And of course, the last scene with them two together before this part. (Bare with me cause I haven’t seen the movie since 2016)

-Whumper blackmails Caretaker with threats to hurt Whumpee, so Caretaker leaves them (like when Flynn turned himself in to help repo)

Then Whumper goes to whumpee and is like, “see? They abandoned you, just like I said they would.” And of course Whumpee is betrayed and hurt so they go with Whumper, knowing that Whumper will “love them”.

-Or of course, you could do the reactions of the king and queen when they watch their baby get taken.

-When Flynn finds out what Gothel did to Repo

-Repo’s thought process when finding out she was kidnapped and realizing who she was

- the ✨reunion✨cause fuck I’m soft

I’m just saying that Tangled has so much whump in it that you could get a hell of a lot of inspiration from it.

This workout is based around the sort of training Korra would have done through the years in her preparation for being the avatar.

Workout 3:

thirty day thinspo challenge pt.8

day eight: your workout routine

im a varisty swimmer and sets change every practice so i can’t exactly post the sets we do or expect people who don’t swim to do a varsity set as a workout

but i do have a dry workout routine bc coach likes to kill our muscles when it’s not season or the weekends or it’s like winter break or something

this is one set:

60 crunches

50 jumping jacks

40 sit ups

35 squats

30 pushups

20 lunges

20 candlesticks

20 leglifts

3 min plank

3 min wall sit

60 leg raises

we usually do at least two sets of this when we don’t have practice and if you don’t stretch before and after your arms and legs will fall off so do that first if you’re gonna try this

but yeah this is it

Folklore Reactions

going to do this in sections, so this is just tracks 1-5. I still know nothing! (well, and also everything.) But I wanted to capture some of my initial feelings. :) 

the 1: after several listens I understand so much more clearly what this song is doing and it ISN’T deeply sad, like I first thought. there’s a lightness to it. it’s a song about looking back at something nostalgically and being a little apologetic for doing that. “in my defense I have none for never leaving well enough alone/for digging up the grave another time.” she’s shaking her head at herself, acknowledging that she can’t help being this way, being so retrospective. the details are so fun and vivid. sunday matinees, bus stops, rosé flowing, but what i love about it so much is the main hook of the song. “it would’ve been fun, if you would’ve been the 1.” because it doesn’t matter how long it’s been, it doesn’t matter that this song isn’t a deeply personal one for taylor in that it’s not about her (and i don’t think it is, i think it’s a perspective one), taylor will always muse on whether something that didn’t last could have lasted and will always quietly, gently, in a third person way wish that it could have lasted. the ache in her voice when she sings “if my wishes came true, it would’ve been you.” this non-breakup song has more pathos in it than most artists’ actual breakup tracks. AND IT’S ALSO A BOP????? I CAN’T. 

cardigan: oh man, i can’t say anything coherent about it yet. this song is so big and so layered. i will say that the way that this, august, and betty have these HUGE intertwining bridges—- is everything to me. the whole heart of the song is about what betty kNEW and the way the bridge is just images stacked on images, moments stacked on moments, all the things she knew. and there really was so so so so much that she kNEW. and that knowledge couldn’t save her from heartbreak. because she wANTED to be someone’s favorite. a lot of knowledge when you’re young isn’t the same thing as wisdom and it can be its own heavy gift because you can’t make all the rest of you grow up to match that knowledge. you’re still just a kid, too. she saw how it would all unfold and fell anyway BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO BE CHOSEN AND LOVED. THIS SONG. 

the last great american dynasty: this was my breakthrough song!!!!! the one on first listen that makes me feel like I can breathe and that I can sort of process. :) I grinned SO WIDE the second I heard her sing “Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train.” It’s perfect, utterly perfect, every word hits a beat and every word tells a story. bitch-pack friends!!!! filled the pool with champagne !!!!! boys and the ballet!!!! the bridge is beyond delightful. THE CHILLS I FELT WHEN SHE SANG “and then it was bought by me.” a song about taylor’s rhode island mansion is not what I expected or thought I wanted but it is exactly what this album and I needed. It’s both a processing song for Taylor personally and the parts of her reputation that her RI mansion helped create but it’s also about STORYTELLING, about making a legend out of the woman who lived there before, sharing her story with the world and tying her past to Rebekah’s and in doing so immortalizing both. i’m obsessed. 

exile: this is a stunning collab, her best yet I think. his voice is deep enough that it holds up next to Taylor’s–which often ends up being more expressive than her duet partners. They feel like true partners as vocalists and storytellers; the story is equally theirs. Love the big sound, love the crosstalk, love the pain amplified in this big, big sound. “holding all this love out here in the hall” >>>>>> KILL ME. this was also a breakthrough song. it’s fairly straightforward but that doesn’t lessen its power.

my tears ricochet: oKAY so the biggest magic about this song !!!! to me!!!! is the fact that the thing that seems to work LEAST, that feels like it might be the weakest link in an otherwise stunning and layered and metaphor-driven song is actually the thing that ties it together!!!!!! and YES. BY THAT I MEAN THE TITLE. !!!!!!! it wasn’t until she sung the titular phrase that it all snapped into place for me. this is a SHARED grief, a shared bitterness, a union even in the separation in the sense that they both are hurting. (anywhere i want just not home//you would still miss me in your bones) the phrase my tears ricochet captures that perfectly, it IS the thesis, because they are not only her tears but they come from her. they strike him and then return again. the way she sings it too. the truth, the almost-acceptance? the ache, the sadness, but mostly the plain, matter-of-fact TRUTH and the lowness, the lowest of lows in terms of her register, that really drives it home. look at how my tears ricochet. what feels like it could be melodrama becomes reality in those three words. it is a perfect track 5. 

Iron deficiency anemia is a metal illness

Running progression workout:

Here we are going to be looking at a workout that will enhance your running capabilities, this will help with your speed and endurance it will also include 1-2 days in the gym to help bring that power into your legs.

Stage one:

To begin with you will start with running twice a week for 20 minutes at a medium pace and at the weekend you will do 40 minutes low consistent pace jog.

Keep this up until it becomes easy once that happens switch to this.

Stage two:

2 days a week 20-30 minutes

You will sprint for 1-2minutes then light jog for up to 5 minutes then sprint again 1-2 minutes and repeat.

At the weekend go for a 1 hour jog at a medium pace.

Continue this for up to four weeks.

Stage three:

Run for miles. So one day a week see how far you can run and set that as the goal to beat each week.

Run and sprint. Day two Run at a medium pace at 8 minute intervals sprint for 2 minutes then drop back down to running at a medium pace and repeat. Record how long you did it for and aim for longer next session.

At the weekend go for a light jog for an hour.

Gym session:

Leg power!

Deadlifts 4x8

Deadlifts pretty much work everything but the focus it put on the hamstring, lower back etc have a big crossover for sprinting.

Bulgarian split squats 2x15 each leg

The Bulgarian split squat is good because your training on one foot which help builds balance and stability in the lower leg.

Hang and clean 3x5

The hang and clean is a big power move you have no choice but to be explosive to shift the weight which again has a big crossover for running and sprinting.

Sled push 4-6 laps

Sled push is great as you can add a small amount of weight and do laps for endurance or really load it down to make it power workout and really put your legs and core through hell.

Broad jumps 2 lengths

With the broad jump, jump as far as you can as soon as you land jump again, this is another explosive movement.

Just so you don't become unbalanced I recommend also doing these exercises.

Bar bench press 5x5

Lat pulldown 4x8

Dumbbell shoulder press 3x15

Dumbbell curls 3x10

Tri pushdowns 3x15

Hanging leg raises 3x10

So there you have it a workout to get you running like an anime god.
