I dont get why some people are so put off by me drawing Basil with prominent arm muscle. Like,, y'all he can still be soft and flowery and wear skirts if he wants while being a lil bit jacked. Making him muscular doesn't rob him of his androgynous aesthetic and soft demeanour.
Plus, he needs those strong arms to bridal carry Sunny to bed when he's sleepy like the ever caring boyfriend he is.

HOW WALKING FOR JUST 30 MINUTES EVERY DAY CAN IMPROVE YOUR PHYSICAL & MENTAL WELLBEING
Regular physical activity has numerous benefits for our physical and mental wellbeing. Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise – such as walking – can help increase our lifespan, reduce our risk of developing chronic diseases, and improve our mood and mental wellbeing.
There are many ways to incorporate walking into our daily routine. For example, we can take a brisk walk during our lunch break, walk the dog in the evening, or go for a walk instead of driving to the store.
When we walk, we should aim to make the most of our time by being mindful of our surroundings and paying attention to our breath. Walking with purpose and intention can help us to clear our mind and improve our focus.
Walking is also a great way to boost our mental wellbeing. Studies have shown that walking can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Walking outdoors in nature can have even greater benefits for our mental health.
So next time you need a break, go for a walk and reap the many benefits that it has to offer!
The Many Benefits of Walking:
Walking is an easy and accessible form of exercise that can benefit us both physically and mentally. Walking regularly can improve our physical and mental wellbeing by increasing our lifespan, reducing our risk of chronic diseases, and relieving stress. Studies have found that walking is associated with a reduced risk of developing type-2 diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses. In particular, walking at a brisk pace for at least 150 minutes per week can lower our risk of death from all causes. Regular walking can also improve our mental wellbeing. Studies have found that walking for just 30 minutes a day can reduce stress and anxiety and improve our mood. In fact, walking outdoors in nature has even greater benefits for our mental health. These mental health benefits can also extend to our cognitive performance.
Studies have found that 30 minutes of walking can boost creativity and improve our memory recall.
Incorporating Walking into Your Daily Routine:
If we want to gain all of the health benefits associated with walking, it is important to incorporate it into our daily routine. One of the easiest ways to do this is to take a 10-15 minute walk during our lunch break.
This can help us to refocus, reframe our thoughts, and improve our concentration during work. We can also add additional walking into our daily routine. For example, instead of driving to the store, walk there instead. Or take the stairs instead of the lift. If we have a pet, take them out for an extra 10-15 minute walk.
Making the Most of Your Walk: To make the most out of our walk, we should aim to be intentional and mindful. This means paying attention to our breath and appreciating our surroundings. When we walk, try to bring our attention to our breath and focus on each step. This can help to clear our mind and improve our focus.
In particular, walking outdoors in nature can help reduce stress, improve our mood, and boost creativity. So make sure to take advantage of nature around you when you walk!
Walking for Mental Wellbeing: Studies have found that walking can be beneficial for our mental wellbeing. This is especially true if we walk in nature. Studies have found that walking in nature can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
In fact, this type of walking has been found to be just as effective as other forms of psychological therapy. Walking can help us to feel calm, clear our minds, and improve our focus. It is also beneficial for our creativity and memory recall.
Walking is an accessible and easy form of exercise that can have numerous health benefits. Walking for just 30 minutes each day can boost our mental and physical wellbeing by reducing our risk of developing chronic diseases, relieving stress, and improving our cognitive performance. When we walk, we should strive to be intentional and mindful. Aim to be aware of our breath and take in the beauty of nature around us. So next time you need a break, go for a walk!

How do the t$$ crew stay in shape? Like what do their diets look like and their workout routines?
Joy is a powerlifter. Before she was arrested she had a gym membership and would hit the weight racks 4-6 times a week. Despite her overactive mind, it's a kind of therapeutic thing for her and would help burn off excess energy after a day in the gun shop. She's not a huge fan of cooking (and usually doesn't have the time), so she'd usually exist on chicken, rice, and canned or frozen veggies. Anything else she'd just eat out or visit home for
Jericho also enjoys weight lifting, but didn't have nearly as much time as Joy to get after it (family time comes first), and would usually manage to get in 3-4 hours of gym time a week, tops. He'll usually just do protein powder and almond milk for a recovery snack, and otherwise eats a lot of meals that are fairly easy to throw together and make leftovers out of (like stews, casseroles, etc)
Benji doesn't work out on purpose. He finds it both boring and intimidating. Cardio through dancing? He's all about it. He'll also go on walks if he feels like he's been too stagnant, and has a stretching routine he'll try to do every morning. He hates cooking and eats out whenever he can, but prefers lighter stuff like soup and sandwiches. Dishes that are too meat or dairy heavy just make him feel icky
Kaius used to do fencing, archery, and karate, (and has some shoulder strength built up because of those), but constantly moving from place to place makes it difficult to build a routine, so it's been a few years. The one thing he tries to do consistently is run, and that's out of practicality. (He has to run for his life a lot.) He generally eats whatever he can when he has time (and remembers to do it), and since he avoids meat that ends up being a lot of peanut butter sandwiches and microwave rice. Despite this, he still enjoys good food
Hunter doesn't have a routine. He just does what he wants when he feels like it, and since he's a restless person, he feels like it a lot. He'll go for a really long walk, or just run somewhere as fast as he can for the hell of it, or mess around with weights if he's somewhere that has them. (He'd also do a lot of cardio via fist fighting and running away from things, but that's a lifestyle issue lol) He's also in the "oh shit did I eat today" boat most of the time

Day 118
Empires!Pearl but ponyfied! The empress of the Gilded Helianthia herself!
I styled this after those stylized illustrations of the Pillars, at first I wanted to use the style from like the first episode and from the Journal of the Two Sisters, but I couldn’t find any good refs and also this one gives me more room for detail.
Legend has it that she was originally an earth pony who cultivated a barren land for years before it became the city it is now. She singlehandedly protected her land and her people from a demon that terrorized many of the nations elsewhere. In gratitude, the land she raised made her an alicorn. Although she only rules over one city (more of a city-state actually), she is well respected across the other nations and her city is home to the best crops throughout the land.
Also she has a sword. I didn’t want to cover up her cutie mark but the belt is where her sword and scabbard would be. She usually still uses her mouth to wield it out of habit, but she’s skilled in magic as well.
After centuries of prosperous years, the Gilded Helianthia fell along with many of the other nations around it. The empress spent her last moments making sure all of her people were safe away from the calamity, and died next to a good friend. It is said that her life force was tied to the land itself. When her land burned to the ground, she burned along with it.
Some ponies say that if you find where the Gilded Helianthia once was, you’ll find a small farm with the healthiest crop you’d ever seen, surrounded by the loving, flourishing land.
But it’s all just an old mare’s tale, isn’t it?
