#the ultimate jump rope challenge

[v3nusxsky]

Hi:) i love your work so much and i was wondering if i could ask for a 18 yrs old Larissa/reader smut? It's perfectly fine if you don't want to write it tho!

They're at a party and everybody is playing spin the bottle and Larissa doesn't want to play, but she letted herself be convinced and played anyway.. But the bottle kept stopping on reader and it's getting hotter and hotter and then they end up having sex.

If you decide to write it, thank you!!!:) X

Play a game 18+

*Authors note~ I'm a little scared to write this so for my comfort I'm going to tweak the age of the reader I'm sorry love, I hope it's okay*

Prompt~ see ask^^^^

✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭✭

Being the youngest teacher of Nevermore was always a strange experience, most people argued you were inexperienced but you argued that everyone had to learn at some point, and you were fully qualified for this job. The principal believes in you and that's all that truly mattered. The night you were offered to go to a staff meeting (the code for we are having a staff party with alcohol) you truly felt like part of the staff.

Being part of the staff night truly was enjoyable, and perhaps a little bit like a college party, you quickly learned that the staff became very much like a bunch of teenagers. You weren't sure how but you were all roped into a game of spin the bottle. Larissa protested but ultimately lost the battle and joined the game, to say you were surprised she joined in was an understatement.

Every time the bottle was span by either you or Larissa it seemed to land on the other, to the point you were starting to think the game was fixed. I mean not that you minded, it was the one and only Larissa Weems, your secret crush since forever and your gay awakening. The rules were simple, the first time it landed on you, Larissa Weems had to kiss your cheek, which had you blushing like a school girl. The second time you landed on her so you had to give her a quick peck to the lips. Truly you didn't want to stop at a peck but rules are rules. The third was a longer more prolonged kiss and you swore down you'd died. The fourth, she gave you a sensual kiss to the back of your ear even getting brave enough to bite the sensitive skin. The moan you let free had you avoiding her gaze.

The fifth time you began to wonder if anyone else was even still playing the game, there had been a couple of other people who were spun in but no one getting as far as you and Larissa. This time it was a French kiss, somehow you ended up in the older woman's lap. Your hands gripping at her neck, not wanting to let go. The final time the other teachers at proposed a new challenge. Seven minutes in heaven for you and Larissa. You have to admit you were nervous, never going any further than a kiss here and there.

As soon as the closet door shut you turned to the older woman. "Principal weems, I uh um" you stuttered and the older woman's face fell, "you don't have to darling, I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea it's just a game" she murmured. "No! I um I just haven't ever ..." you trailed off before jumping right back, "I want to, god I want you. I just don't want to disappoint you" you whimpered only to be hushed by Larissa Weems lips.

Seven minutes sure fly by when you're having fun, the closet door opening as Larissa had you pinned to the wall, hands roaming all over your body, your thigh securely nestled between hers. "Ladies!" Marilyn clapped excitedly causing you both to spring apart as though you'd been burnt. "As much fun as as this is we are going to take our leave now, have a good night" she stated in her usual principal voice that left no room for any arguments. You followed Larissa like a love sick puppy all the way to her chambers.

Soon enough you found yourself against her door, her lips kissing all over your neck, your leg slipping back between her thighs as she subconsciously bucked against it. "Larissa" you whined needing more but not quite knowing what more is. "Patience baby, I'll make you feel good sweetheart I promise" she reassured before seeking permission to strip your clothing which you gave her, you blushed and ducked your head down feeling shy at being so exposed. "Oh sweetheart don't be shy, you're gorgeous darling" she murmured kissing sweetly before stripping her clothing also.

To say she was stunning would be an injustice. You couldn't tear your eyes away from her now naked form. "Isa" you whimpered as your gaze ran up and down her body. Her lips found yours as she walked you backwards to the bed till your knees gave out and you tumbled backwards taking her with you.

"Sweetheart, do you want to?" She purred, holding your gaze. "Please Isa, show me" you whimpered before sitting up to capture her lips once more.  "Baby if you ever want to stop just say red okay?" To which you nodded and sighed in approval as she trailed her lips down your neck and to your chest. The little sighs and whimpers she could draw from you just by paying attention to your breasts was honestly shocking you. You didn't know you could feel like that from something so small. Perhaps it was just the goddess giving you the attention.

As Larissa slowly formed a path down to your stomach, she glanced up in a silent question to which you responded eagerly, "Isa please love make me feel good" you whimpered. Never one to ignore such a pretty girl Larissa moved her mouth to your core. Lips exploring all around before finally giving you what you needed. Her lips wrapped around your aching clit and then moving down to your slit to tongue fuck you. Truly you'd never imagined it could ever feel like this.

"Sweetheart can I?" She murmured, the sight of your slick covering her mouth was enough to make you wanna cum there and then. "Oh please" you whimpered and you could've swore you died as you felt her slip a slender finger into your needy cunt. "Oh fuck me mommy" you whined feeling your walls stretch slightly to accommodate the finger. "Oh baby you're so wet. Is it all for mommy?"

"Oh fuck yours I'm yours just please mommy" you whimpered and whined as she began to move her finger, getting brave and slipping a second into your cunt, "oh fuck no more mommy please god" you whimpered as you felt the sting of your walls stretching again. You came with a loud cry as the unusual pleasurable sensation took over your body, legs shaking as she brought you down from the high. "Such a good girl for mommy darling" she reassured as she brought her fingers to your mouth, "suck" was the only command and you did just that moaning as you swirled your tongue around her digits tasting yourself.  "Want please mommy" you whimpered in your post orgasm bliss. "Another night baby, let's get you all cleaned up and we can take a nap before round 2" she reasoned with you and you couldn't help the dopey smile on your lips. Round 2, it wasn't a one time thing. And you could attempt to touch her. Had you really died and gone to heaven?

I'm moving different

We smoking juju

She tried doing psionics on my ass, i snapped her silver cord in half and flossed with it. This shit ain't nothing to me man

where moving different man. where making this hapen

My money longer than act 6

I make more money in a week than crockercorp does in a year

Yesterday i killed someone over vriscourse

You wouldn't survive a day in my session. Just to challenge myself, I prototyped my kernel sprite with heroin laced garlic bread and the taxidermy wooly mammoth I keep in my trophy crypt. Every imp had the vengeful spirits of extinction in them, and their blood was poison. I felt alive

Kanaya thinks she's a rainbow drinker, but she's not him. I am!

I'm already him

I'm the ultimate him

I read all 8000 pages of himstuck

I'm a member of the himnight crew

I died in my quest coffin and ascended to him tier, and nothing changed, because ive always been him

We smoking that sburban jungle trickster mode post canon god tier build grist

That tentabulge got me feeling disappointed and inert

My hands can coexist with your crushed wind pipe you stupid bitch

I fought the homestuck, I put the clown down

I'm dracula. I'm 12 million years old. I'm thinking different. I made sburb. I programmed that shit, waited a few millenia, then put it on some random kids' computers, and now we're here. This was always the plan

I flipped a brick to the batterwitch hours before [s] collide, she was high off her ass when them kids beat the shit out of her. Now I have a whole new universe to fuck with

Got it all on camera, put live leak out of business

She sucked my meat AND my candy. I had a picnic on her ass

That green skeleton king put a tooth in me, I got quantum poisoning, so she fucked me in the back of my dead dad's 2007 Volkswagen beetle before my family reunion

I don't pull out, I sylladex the cum before it can reach her cruxite dowel

I alchemized a 1399 bottle of mead with a pound of crack, cost me more grist then there are stars in the milky way. When I woke up, I was naked and afraid

Hussie tried to kill me, they forgot that you can't fight the dracula

Bec noir whimpered when he saw my fangs, he knew his time was up

I did something wrong

Ultimate self? Fuck that, I killed every other version of myself in all of paradox space. Well, except for junedraculasprite^2, she was kinda chill

My balls smoother than doc scratch's head

This zaza got terezi loco

This Zaza got terezi sane

Junejasprose is all I think about

I fucked a horrorterror, worst mistake of my life. I had tentacles clogging up my sylladex, and I had several bricks at the bottom of my deck. Took 30 business days for me to get to that shit, money hemorrhaging more than my ass was

I showed up to the convention in my thief of blood god tier clothes, when a pack of eridan cosplayers made fun of my hairline. Now they're thralls in my basement, playing jump rope with each other's intestines

I snapped a horn off of some dude's skull and grafted it onto my own. Then we had a unicorn joust, and I skewered his stupid ass. Blue rained on me like I was Brad armstrong

Princes don't live in ships, they sleep in coffins. Only gills you'll have is the bite marks on your neck

This shit ain't nothing to me man

(SPIDERVERSE SPOILERS TIMES TWO)

I looked through camrips and tried putting together as many tidbits of dialogue as I could from that split-second comic cover interlude, since those tend to foreshadow the dialogue of the scenes in question. There’s some others I can’t make out due to image quality and we’ll have to wait for the streaming release to see more, but in the meanwhile I was able to make out these speech bubbles. I’m using “-” to fill in missing parts:

“Uncle Aaron!”

“-how much you need what I got and, trust me, that'll be the beginning of a whole new family business. Kid, your dad should be proud of you no matter what. Not making you scared to come out from behind that mask.”

“Yeah, that whole “Not-” thing

“Uncle Aaron, you can say whatever. But I can't let you kill this guy. I just can't.”. “Yeah, I-”

“You and I are going to take care of a bad guy. A real bad guy”. ”Who?”

(I’m assuming the named villain is Scorpion since the name starts with S-c-o and there’s a P, and also with the following line)

(images compiled by @tokyofro​)

“Did you look up the Scorpion on the web?” “Yes Uncle Aaron, I did”. “Then you know I wasn’t lying, he’s a dangerous cat”.  “What does this have to do with-”. “You wanna be a superhero, now’s your chance”

“You ran away? YOU RAN AWAY?! Is that the kind of man you are?

MILES: “You really don’t care who you hurt? What did the world do to you to make you think it’s okay for you to be this way? 

So my theory, going off by these and particularly the “What did the world do to you?” line from Miles and (presumably) Prowler!Miles telling him that they’re going to go after “a real bad guy”, is that Prowler!Miles is going to be exploring the idea of Miles Morales turned villain protagonist/anti-hero. It seems to be picking and uniting separate strands like Prowler’s original role as a darker counterpart to Spider-Man / a gadget-wielding morally compromised crimefighter who eventually turns face / Spider-Man-as-Batman, Earth-616 Miles being a villain, and Miles’s contentious relationship with his original setting and current status as an Ultimate Marvel refugee who quite literally jumped ship from the darker and all-around shittier home universe he was meant to be in, among others, to consolidate them into Miles’ confrontation with himself.

The first Spiderverse shows a lot how strongly Miles listens to and respects and values the input from his uncle (and vice versa, only Miles is able to bring Aaron out of the Prowler mask, even when Aaron knows he’s going to die the second he hesitates and uses that second to shield Miles’ identity), and he’s looking for guidance, someone to model himself after, because he’s a very intelligent kid trying to live up to the potential everyone keeps telling him he has, trying to live up to what his parents worked so hard to give him. He finds role models in Spider-Man and an entire group of Spider-People there to lead by example and catch him when he falls, and with his uncle giving his life away to not only save him, but urge him to stay on the right path. It wasn’t just meeting Peter Parker at the collider that saved Miles, it was rising up to the challenge in Spiderverse 1 and Uncle Aaron using his last breath to shut the door on Miles making the mistakes he did, and so Miles makes himself into the Spider-Man his world needs, filling in a spot needed upon left vacant.

Whether Earth-42 was supposed to have a proper Peter Parker Spider-Man and that never came to pass, or it was supposed to have it’s own Miles Morales get bitten and become Spider-Man like the Spot flashback indicates, Earth-42 Miles is what happens when none of that comes to pass. No Spider-Man protecting the world, no spider bite and sacrifice to pass along the mantle, no pressure and assistance from Aunt May and the others who’ve been there and can help him if he can help himself first, no Spider-Man mentors to show him the ropes, Jefferson dead and his mom having to struggle with Aaron’s help to get by, supervillain cartels burning the streets down, and the only person who can remotely help is his uncle, who will never get the heroic sacrifice or wake-up call to change his ways or inspire his nephew to strive for something better. Because there isn’t anything better, and if there is, it isn’t here, someone took it away. After all, Miles and Aaron don’t show any surprise upon hearing about all that different dimension spider-power talk, and whether they know or even blame Miles for taking the opportunity that was theirs, they’ll hardly be that thrilled to meet someone who clearly had better opportunities than they did, if he can talk about them being good guys with choices to be better.

It’s possible that Prowler! Miles isn’t even that much of a villain, or even as much of a mercenary as Uncle Aaron was as the Prowler. It’s possible, and far more tragic if so, if becoming the Prowler was simply as good as it got for this earth’s Miles. If it was the only way they could survive in a Sinister Six-run city and make ends meet and provide Rio with enough to get by, if it was all they could strive for in a world where there is nothing and no one to show a better way, or even if this is the only way Miles can help anyone and make amends for the sacrifice of his father, as most Spider-Men do upon losing their loved ones. Whether this Miles has never had any positive examples to follow, or worse, he once did and this is the best he can do in living up to them. Because on Spidey’s shadow, lives The Prowler, Spider-Man when forced to play by Batman rules.

No web swinging and super speed, so the motorbike will have to do. No healing powers or toughness, the body armor can only take so much. Incapacitating-yet-non-lethal thunderstrikes at your fingertips and invisibility are not an option (although MAN wouldn’t those be convenient for a caped burglar, huh), so you settle for high-tech murder claws and hope those and the camouflage do the trick in protecting you for another day. No guiding superheroes with your best interests in mind, only super-criminals and the only one of those you lucked into being on your family’s side. Your survival dangling on a knife’s edge, so if you don’t take that knife and use it, the next guy to take it won’t be so kind. Traits that are no stranger to Spider-Man stories or related characters, whether they predate him or follow in his example.

(Left-to-right: The Spider by Dan Schkade, Taylor Hebert (Worm) fan-art by tactilescream)

Or, what happens when your bug-themed crimefighter, with lots of personal baggage and trauma and flaws to contend with from the get-go, is thrust headfirst into surviving and defeating an endlessly escalating superpower-backed war on crime against which they are hopelessly outmatched, with no Spider-Safety Net status quo and super powers to catch them, as they fall and keep falling and keep weaving bigger handbaskets to catch larger handfuls of hell inside, because that’s what it means to be “the only thing standing between this city and oblivion” when you can’t juggle cars but everyone around you can, and they are more than willing to toss them at you and your mother and uncle whether you can fight back or not, so you might as well be able to, right?

And so we get the battle between Miles Morales of Earth-1610, who’s spent two movies proving himself to be not just as good a Spider-Man as any other, but The Most Spider-Man, the Spider-Man who’s the ultimate underdog and pariah as well as the ultimate fighter and scrapper, who beats hundreds of others to try and upend their ultimate fate. Versus the Miles Morales of Earth-42, his shadow come to roost, the one who could be anything except be Spider-Man, and so he can settle for being Not-Spider-Man until he can catch the real deal, and then they’ll have much to do together.

[thinking out loud about dungeon meshi and pokemon]

i've periodically thought about a pokemon au for dungeon meshi. when i think of pokemon and dungeons, it's definitely easy to immediately jump to, well, pokemon mystery dungeon. but since everyone there is a monster ("pocket monster") it's kind of hard for me to pinpoint laois' motives.

in a more mainline pokemon game au, i'm sure the expected thing would be for them to eat pokemon, but the morality/legality of eating pokemon thing is confusing within the game already, and personally i'm just not a fan of that angle, sorry. it's definitely a direction someone else could take it though.

laois wants to eat monsters not really because of the eating but more to become part of their world. he loves learning and understanding monsters. in the world of pokemon, i think laois would make an amazing trainer. he'd practically be a walking pokedex, not to mention that he'd be good at understanding pokemon body language and instincts. i think laois' motives in the pokemon world would be to be able to talk to pokemon, and ultimately to become a pokemon. the premise of pmd would be laois' dream in this case haha. even though he'd be a great trainer, i don't think laois would actually take on gym challenges and stuff on purpose. he'd want to find and meet every pokemon in the region, and then some.

more thoughts under the cut

meanwhile, kabru is trying to defeat all the gyms as part of some elaborate scheme to take down The Bad Guy Team. he'd fail and then laois would somehow get roped into doing a gym challenge and sweep with his advanced battling techniques (called My Pokemon Are His Besties). kabru would originally treat pokemon more like a tool and then learns the power of friendship (literally)

falin really likes bug types but also really likes pokemon in general. she has a high affinity with ghost types and can understand them (laois is a little jealous. but he can do it too, but discovers it later). in such an au... somehow, she probably ends up as a human-pokemon hybrid (... laois is a little jealous).

what are marcille's motivations in such an au? if she's still an elf, her desire is probably the same. she's researching various mythical and legendary pokemon in order for her to achieve her dream. she's probably some sort of equivalent to a psychic in pokemon games. marcille would totally dote and fret over her pokemon and give them cute accessories and give them all baths specific to their needs.

senshi might be living out in the wild, mostly avoiding people and living with pokemon more. in this case he has learned valuable lessons on acquiring food from pokemon and now cooks meals that both pokemon and humans can eat! marcille is a little dubious on that front, but she can't deny that it's tasty. senshi would not have any pokemon that truly "belong" to him, he'd probably not use pokeballs. but he has a lot of connections.

what is chilchuck doing here?? he might be some kind of guide, or really good at finding out of the way places... well, he's definitely still good at handling traps and picking locks, and now he's well-suited for noticing the approach of wild pokemon. he probably doesn't have a lot of pokemon, or at least not a team well suited for battle, but they are suited for his job. i think in his case, he views his pokemon as partners in work, and they respect him the same way.

i guess laois' party is traveling to find certain legendary pokemon and such. having a party of people + pokemon is a lot but that happens in the anime it's fine...

a dungeon meshi and pokemon crossover of this kind would also work well in a legends arceus kind of world, where kabru and others would have justified concerns about befriending pokemon, since pokemon are dangerous and attack people, but laois believes that people and pokemon can get along. in such an au laois probably thinks about just running away to the wild a lot. if only he was a pokemon...

a legends arceus-ish kinda setup would work well with the medieval-ish setup of dungeon meshi. having a party explore the world seems legit too. but i still think a more modern pokemon setup could work.

SOUL EATER: HEY!! SOUL EATER: Why don't we just cut the strings off Purple? MED-KIT: That sounds really stupid. THE MASKED: Eh, there's nothing else going on. MAIN CHARACTER: Huh? What? SOUL EATER: Purple. Ropes. Cut them. MAIN CHARACTER: Oh yeah okay that makes sense.

SOUL EATER: Okay, here's the plan... MED-KIT: We run over and stab her ropes until they cut? SOUL EATER: Yeah. SOUL EATER: I wanted to say it... MAIN CHARACTER: That's a great plan Med-Kit! SOUL EATER: IT'S MY PLAN!! THE MASKED: She said it. SOUL EATER: GRRR!! Just go!

[The four of them rush THE PUPPET, cutting at the ropes attatched to her body. Med-Kit had scissors, SOUL EATER using his teeth, THE MASKED a knife, and MAIN CHARACTER a stick with his friend attatched to it.]

THE PUPPET: What are you doing?

[There was no response, obviously. They were too busy cutting at the rope. THE MASKED's rope cut first.]

THE PUPPET: Hey.

[Slowly the other ropes cut, THE PUPPET getting angrier each time.]

MAIN CHARACTER: We did it! MED-KIT: It didn't do anything. P̴̨͖̟̫̂́͋̎͋Û̶̗̣͉̃́̋Ṙ̴̝̜̲̱̃̔͠Ṕ̷̤̪L̸̬̻͚͋Ȩ̸̧̡̠̳͊̃͐̕: Oww... oww my head... THE MASKED: Yeah it did. MED-KIT: PURPLE!! THE SAVIOR: Med-Kit...? MED-KIT: It's... so nice to see you again. THE SAVIOR: Yeah, same here... SOUL EATER: I knew it'd work! SOUL EATER: I'm so cool and awesome. SOUL EATER: Yeah, uh-huh, yeah. SOUL EATER: SCOAM's awesome, yeah. ???: Insufferable.

[The five looked around in panic and confusion.]

THE SAVIOR: Black! BLACK: You're always a pain. BLACK: Didn't Gold tell you that putting yourself in other's business was wrong? BLACK: Oh yeah, you're not from my world. SOUL EATER: Who cares? MED-KIT: You took over one of our friends! THE MASKED: Yeah...!

[THE MASKED walks away slowly.]

BLACK: Get back here. BLACK: Hypocrit. THE MASKED: Ugh-

[THE MASKED falls to the ground.]

THE SAVIOR: Blue must have given him a powerup... THE SAVIOR: Keep strong you three. MED-KIT: Uh-huh! SOUL EATER: Yeah whatever. MAIN CHARACTER: He could never defeat me! BLACK: A challenge? BLACK: You shouldn't challenge me. BLACK: Alone. MAIN CHARACTER: H- hey...! THE SAVIOR: Damn it...

[Black steps closer to the remaining three.]

BLACK: I know everything about you. BLACK: I know what makes your heart ache. BLACK: You're an awful chef. BLACK: You can't save them. SOUL EATER: I'm not... MED-KIT: ...

[1/5 REMAIN.]

BLACK: And now we're back to where we started. THE SAVIOR: Yeah? BLACK: Now I'll get my prize back THE SAVIOR: You might be able to take them down with whatever power you got from him... THE SAVIOR: But you won't break me, not again. BLACK: Confident. BLACK: But ultimately... BLACK: You're just like the rest. BLACK: You're arrogant and you look down on those you think are weaker than you. BLACK: Instead of trying to build the others up you tear them down. BLACK: You call them weak, too angry, not moral. BLACK: But really you're just like them. THE SAVIOR: Yeah. THE SAVIOR: I'm just like them. THE SAVIOR: We're all flawed in some way. THE SAVIOR: We all need to work on ourselves, weather we're a liar, self obsessed, a complete jerk, or too desiring to help others you can't think of yourself without that... THE SAVIOR: And I'd never have been able to stop you all these times without my friends, however flawed they are. THE SAVIOR: So thank you for coming, and goodbye!

[THE SAVIOR ran at Black, jumping in the air and spinning around, board in hand.]

BLACK: You... BLACK: YOU... BLACK: I'll meet you again.

[Black steps back into a portal, leaving the floating island behind and THE SAVIOR with it.]

MED-KIT: What... was that? THE SAVIOR: Eh, it's pretty normal for me. THE SAVIOR: I'm thirsty, can we get a drink? MED-KIT: Yes, of course! SOUL EATER: I can make use some life juice! MED-KIT: Didn't Cy get addicted to that? SOUL EATER: Uh... MAIN CHARACTER: Well I can actually work the bar. THE SAVIOR: Sound's good!

[The four of them left the scene of the battle, leaving one behind.]

THE MASKED: Maybe I should... THE MASKED: Sigh.

[nintendowife]

I ascended Mount Everest in Wii Fit U's Fit Meter Challenge a week ago! It was the last location left for me to conquer in the Climbing Challenge. Now I have completed all the Climbing and Walking Challenges in the game at least once.

If you're wondering what the heck I'm talking about, Wii Fit U has this little accessory called Fit Meter that you can carry around with you when you go about your daily life. The Fit Meter measures steps and elevation changes as you move around and you can transfer the data to the game. The game then keeps track of the data and as a long-term goal you can challenge yourself to complete all the Fit Meter Challenges.

I think I've had my Fit Meter since 2015. Unfortunately I've lost some data on the meter on several occasions through the years when I haven't transferred it often and its battery has depleted or I have dropped it and the battery has loosened. Anyhow, now I can proudly say I've completed all the locations in the Fit Meter Challenge!

As a nice perk and extra challenge the game shows your overall "Climbed so far" and "Walked so far" statistics. My husband's Mii shows in the progress graph and he's been left behind because sadly he lost his Fit Meter years ago. There's the possibility to try and reach the ultimate goals of climbing as high as Aurora or walking around the globe. So those are my next targets then... when I'll be able to exercise properly again.

I managed my Fit Meter Challenge feat on the last day of my summer vacation. During the summer I had more time to go outside and on longer walks. Now the bad news is I may have developed a stress fracture on my heel... I've been taking it slow the last few days, I've abandoned Jump Rope Challenge for now and I haven't gone outside in a couple of days. My heel is quite swollen despite resting it, but luckily it doesn't really hurt. I may have to see an orthopedist next week to be sure how to take care of my foot. So annoying! I hate going to doctor.

There's a saying in Finnish "urheilija ei tervettä päivää nää" which translates to "an athlete never sees a healthy day". There's clearly some truth to it. I hope all of you are doing well and staying healthy.

[banannabethchase]

My predictions, because I have some batshit crazy ideas:

Beneath a cut, because. Well. You know how much I ramble.

Zero Hour

Yuta vs. Hook - Hook wins, but Yuta beats the shit out of him at the end of it. Danhausen comes out to make the save, but Yuta beats him up. And then Danhausen challenges for the Pure Rules title.

Willow vs. Kris - ONLY IN WRESTLING CAN AN OTP FIGHT EACH OTHER. Stokeley is gonna corrupt Kris against Willow, but not until the women's tag belts are announced will he make his final move. Stokeley, secretly working in the background for the Renegade Twins, will unleash his final blow right before the finals of the women's tag titles tournament, causing Staturday Nightingale to lose, and triggering a full on battle between the two of them, likely culminating in match for the women's world title (RoH, probably.)

20 Man Battle Royal - Okay. I got 3 ideas: Sara's dream book, the best story, and what likely will happen.

Sara's Dream Book: Bucks and Hanger come back. Bucks sabotage everybody else to get Hanger to almost win, then Hanger steps back and lets someone else win but leisurely jumping over the top rope when it's him vs. the other person. "I'm above this championship," he says, taking the mic during the other person's celebration. Offical Superdick Party debut, official heel turn, official idiots.

The Best Story: Only 19 people are in or around the ring. Toward the end, a guy in a hoodie, with his face slightly obscured, shows up. It's Jack Perry. He wins, and cashes in the "any time" clause during the Christian vs. Copeland match.

What Likely Will Happen: Midcardapalooza. A very fun, non champion level person like Komander, AR Fox, Kip Sabian, or Andretti win to create a fun flippy match with the winner of Copeland vs. Christian that they will ultimately lose.

Main Card

Eight Man tag (Jericho/Sammy/Darby/Sting vs. Ricky/Bill/Takeshita/Hobbes) - I really. Look. Lot's of stuff about this match is convoluted. It's mean to take the place of the tag belts, which I understand, but they should have bitten the bullet, dropped the Jericho/Golden Jets story completely, and provided a title chance to an actual tag team.

Eight man tag (Bryan/Claudio/Mark/Danny vs. Lethal/White/Rush/Brody) - I think the BCC and friends win, but I think this may lead to Danny being inducted into the BCC. Otherwise this match is kind of weird. However, it means that everyone in the C2 got a match on the pay-per-view, and I like that.

Andrade vs. Miro - Look I KNOW it's all about Miro's redemption or whatever, but he's pissing me off lately and I want Andrade to win to show that CJ's management is effective. But I also think it could be cool for Andrade to lose, to show that a lack of CJ's management causes him weakness. It could develop a more introspective story of talent vs influence that could be approached by both Miro and Andrade in different directions. But it's wrestling, so I doubt the nuance necessary for the storyline would be possible.

Swerve vs. Dustin - Yeah sorry Dustin. Swerve is gonna KILL you. Super sad to hear about Keith's injury. This match was going to absolutely BANG and him being unable to finish this storyline is a heartache.

Julia vs. Abadon - SPOOKY SHENANIGANS! I hope Skye gets out there and she and Julia do some MK Ultra tag level nonsense. Give me shenanigans. Give me lesbians. I love it.

Copeland vs. Christian - You already saw my idea for Perry, but here I think Copeland wins by pulling unexpected allies out of his back pocket.

Eddie vs. Mox - EDDIE BETTER FUCKING WIN THIS. He deserves to be a three belt holder, to hold up RoH, to continue his work. Mox may be my first AEW love, but Eddie. Eddie deserves it.

Toni vs. Riho - Mariah May shenanigans result in a Toni win, but perhaps Riho has an original in the wings waiting to save her. Crossing my fingers for a Jamie return PLEASE.

MJF vs. Samoa Joe - Joe wins. MJF is injured, shit goes down, the Devil and his goons interfere, and Joe is our new World Champion. We also, we gotta, reveal the Devil.

TORI KELLY - "CUT"

Alex brings us some UK garage not actually from the UK...

[6.64]

Alex Ostroff: At the end of the first year without any regular Singles Jukebox coverage, the prospect of selecting just one track for Amnesty Week was daunting. Should I choose a fun quirky pop-rap track that reflected the continued importance of TikTok in drawing attention to new music in 2023? Or maybe a pop-country break-up anthem that draws equally from 'Tim McGraw' and 'We Belong Together' that would have been Jukebox catnip back in 2009 but can't seem to break through in 2023? Or maybe yet another British attempt to revive the spirit of R&B girl groups? Ultimately, I picked Tori Kelly's "cut" - a track that I suggested was an American big-pop-chorus approach to PinkPantheress' UK garage revivalism in an earlier Amnesty Week blurb. But while there are undeniable 2step influences here (the first single from Tori's 2023 EP samples Craig David directly), "cut" functions equally as millennium pop revivalism. Darkchild and Timbaland both get writing credits, although presumably just for the vibe that Kelly and producer Jon Bellion are trying to evoke and the ad-libs that Timbaland added when they sent him the track. For years, I couldn't tell you the first thing about Tori Kelly's music. She seemed to be one of those artists with an incredible voice who was perpetually singing as part of award show tributes, but who never settled into a clear artistic identity; cursory research indicates that she yo-yoed from a 2015 Max Martin-produced debut to two explicitly Christian gospel albums to acoustic YouTube performances. There's nothing particularly novel or boundary-pushing about "cut": a trilling acoustic guitar loop, garage drums, arpeggiated violins, Timbo mumbling in the background, Tori jumping the octave for the final chorus, an onomatopoeiac hook that tries to evoke the sound of a skipping heartbeat. But it somehow embedded itself in my brain all autumn and never let up. "cut," and the rest of this year's Tori EP, made me sit up and pay attention to Tori Kelly for the first time a full eight years into her career -- and made me actively excited to see what she does next. [9]

Katherine St Asaph: Timbaland jumping on a trend in 2023, and Tori Kelly jumping on a trend at any time, is probably a sign that the trend is on its way out. The returns haven't totally diminished, though. [6]

Micha Cavaseno: When UK garage touched US shores, a lot of the forms were unrecognizable compared to the source material -- Craig David's "Fill Me In" is one thing, but "7 Days" isn't exactly bubble & squeak. I would like to say that there was a big period of us dancing to Monsta Boy or Masters of Ceremony just so my own nerdy adolescent pursuits felt a little more valid, but no, I'm pretty sure we just listened to Blu Cantrell and that Mary J. Blige comeback record around that time. So really, I'm just fascinated at anyone from the US deciding to emulate a style that's so comparatively niche. As far as retro-UKG from the last few years, it's definitely not hitting "One Kiss" levels, nor is it even Jorja quality, but maybe that's the consequence of things getting lost in translation. [7]

Aaron Bergstrom: Tori gives it a valiant effort, but this still sounds like the batteries slowly running out on a Timbaland Speak & Spell. [4]

Taylor Alatorre: A second-string Timbaland beat scores some major points off the bench, assisted by Tori Kelly's infectious enthusiasm at being allowed on a Timbaland beat of any sort. One can choose to dismiss Tori as Ariana Grande for church moms who did the math on "34+35," or one can choose to celebrate her for that same reason. Her brand of pop soul is clean in more than one sense of the word -- witness how she skims across those challenging vocal phrases like they're beginners' exercises, or how she uses the pauses in the production to turn a lead-in to the chorus into a game of musical jump rope. Let's not agonize over the fact that the definitive slumber party music of two decades ago is now reappearing as adult contemporary; instead, let's call it incremental progress. [8]

Brad Shoup: Howling at the possibility that Timbaland is going to become a hired-gun ad-lib guy, like how a few years back everyone was hiring Nile Rodgers to strum a little. At least Nile gets some co-production credits! [6]

Nortey Dowuona: The skipping garage drums are well mixed. They slip underneath Tori's voice comfortably and bind it tightly, spinning in a dervish across the chorus. The boxy bassline synth below it is a nice counterpoint to the topline synths, which are surprisingly thinned out by reverb and EQ once the last chorus kicks in. It's a good idea and a good choice, but not something you will remember once you stop listening. [6]

Wayne Weizhen Zhang: The sound effect at the beginning of the chorus is so bizarre that multiple times while listening to this, I literally looked around to check whether there was a pipe that was emitting steam, a large man sighing slowly, or a freezer opening. Aside from that, "Cut" is expertly crafted pop reminiscent of the early 2000s, each motif stitched together tightly with Tori Kelly's adept voice. [7]

Ian Mathers: I wish they'd built out the "singing the drum part" bit into the chorus, because it's better and more distinctive than the actual chorus. [6]

Oliver Maier: Lots of fun if not especially sticky. Not often does a pop song feel like it's distinctly missing a guest rap verse, but such is the void that opens up at around 2:18. [7]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: "I'm glad she's having fun" is classic smug pan verbiage but this genuinely works because Tori Kelly is having a lot of fun! It still never breaks through to be anything more than really really good Timbaland/Darkchild cosplay, but I'm not sure if it aspires to anything greater either. [7]

PLYOMETRIC TRAINING ( PART 1 )

If you want to gain strength, enhance your fitness performance, and ultimately challenge yourself in the gym, plyometric training may be for you.

What is plyometric training? 

Yori Verkhoshanksy invented plyometrics in the late 1960s, initially known as the Shock Method. It's a training method that emphasizes strength development through forceful, explosive movements, particularly exercises that require extending a muscle followed by a quick contraction (also known as a stretch-shortening cycle), such as a squat stretch followed by an upwards jump. Plyometric exercises are high-intensity, making them suitable for inclusion in a HIIT workout. You can also perform full-body plyometric exercises or include particular moves in your normal workouts.

Examples of plyometric training include:

Jump squats

Box jumps

Jump rope

Burpees

Clapping push-ups

Tuck jumps

What are the benefits and advantages of plyometric training?

Plyometrics, like weight training, promote strength development. However, the explosive nature of the movement means you'll be working your muscles as hard as you can functionally, and plyometric exercises are also great for increasing power, agility, and speed, as well as boosting cardiovascular endurance and efficiency. This training method is popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts since it can significantly improve performance in other activities and sports.

Benefits of plyometric training include:

Develops fast twitch muscle fibres - Fast twitch muscle fibres, also known as Type 2 muscular fibres, aid in the production of short bursts of power. These promote nimble mobility, including quick reactions and workouts like sprinting and leaping.

Transform Your Fitness Journey with Easy Home Workouts: No Gym Needed!

Hey there, fitness enthusiasts! 🌟 Struggling to find time for the gym? Or maybe you're just not a fan of crowded spaces and hefty membership fees. No worries! You can get fit right at home with some simple, effective workouts and a few must-have tools. Plus, I’ve got a special recommendation that has totally transformed my home workout routine! Let's dive in.

Why Home Workouts Rock

Imagine waking up, rolling out of bed, and starting your workout within minutes. That’s the beauty of home workouts—ultimate convenience. You don't have to worry about gym hours or commuting; it's all on your schedule. Besides saving precious time, think about the money you'll save. No more expensive gym memberships or travel costs.

Working out at home also means you have complete privacy. Forget about feeling self-conscious or dealing with crowded spaces. It's just you, your workout, and your goals. Plus, you can tailor your exercise routine to fit your mood and energy levels on any given day, giving you the flexibility to mix things up and keep it interesting.

Home Workout Must-Haves

Before we jump into the routines, let's talk gear. Having the right equipment can make a massive difference in your workout efficiency and enjoyment.

First on the list is a cozy yoga mat. It's perfect for everything from yoga to ab workouts, providing comfort and support. Next, grab some versatile dumbbells. They are ideal for building strength and toning muscles. Don’t forget handy resistance bands. These lightweight bands are super effective for a range of exercises.

For cardio lovers, a jump rope is a must. It's fun and great for improving coordination. And finally, let me introduce you to a game-changer in home fitness: Multi-functional Folding Push Up Board. This amazing tool has completely revamped my workouts. It’s easy to use, versatile, and perfect for any fitness level. Trust me, you’ll want to check it out here.

Kickass Home Workout Routines

Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned fitness buff, I’ve got you covered with some routines that match your level.

For beginners, start with a simple warm-up, like five minutes of light cardio—think jumping jacks or high knees. Move on to bodyweight squats, push-ups, and planks. Each exercise should be done in sets of three with a manageable number of reps. Don’t forget to cool down with some stretching to keep those muscles happy.

If you're at an intermediate level, try incorporating jump rope into your warm-up. Lunges, dumbbell rows, and bicycle crunches will challenge your muscles and keep your heart rate up. Again, three sets of each exercise should do the trick, followed by a good stretch.

For the advanced fitness enthusiasts out there, start with dynamic stretches to get your body ready. Then dive into burpees, deadlifts with dumbbells, and weighted Russian twists. Push yourself with three sets of each exercise and finish with a well-deserved cool down.

Keep the Motivation High

Staying motivated can be tough, but I’ve got some tips to keep your spirits high. Set realistic goals and break your fitness journey into small, achievable steps. Tracking your progress with a fitness app or journal can also be incredibly motivating as you see your improvements over time.

Finding a workout buddy can make all the difference. Whether it's virtual or in-person, having someone to share your journey with can boost accountability and make workouts more fun. And don’t forget to treat yourself when you hit a milestone. Celebrate with something special—perhaps new workout gear or a relaxing spa day.
