𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮

𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬 & 𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬

[ 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 ] : none :)

[ 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 ] : kaminari denki // bakugo katsuki // sero hanta

𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐢 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐤𝐢

ah yes, the bakusquad's resident pretty boy

he would definitely be the most obvious about his crush

two words: shitty flirting

horrible pick-up lines and just overall bad flirting

he pulls through sometimes though ( with sero's advice ) and his ego inflates through the roof if he can get you flustered and blushing

but if you give him the same energy, he will immediately combust

all function out the window

congratulations, you broke denki

none of your possessions are safe when denki is within the vicinity

shirts, hoodies, skirts, hats, jewelry, hair accessories

if he can grab it, he will have it

he has worn / stolen everything in your closet at least once, if not it is most definitely his goal

it does not matter if he fits it or not, he will make it work

he has no shame

but one time he stretched out one of your favorite skirts and it tore a bit and he felt soooo bad

"it not my fault i have a fat ass, y/n"

but he brought you to the mall on a date with him to get a new one, so it's all works out ;)

denki honestly just lives to make you laugh

every time he's the reason you're laughing, it makes his chest puff up so big

DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON MF TICKLING

if you two are close, he will without a doubt start a mock wrestling match and it always turns into a tickling fit with you pinned underneath him and wailing

but do NOT under any circumstances tickle him

he with shriek like a girl and accidentally activate his quirk

you nearly died

HE FELT BAD FOR THAT TOO

he's also just so infatuated with like- everything you do????

it doesn't matter how mundane you think it might be, as long as you're doing it, denki is so enthralled watching whatever it is you're doing

it's rather endearing

in all honesty, he'd probably blurt out he likes you outta no where while in the middle of a convo

he lights up every time your name is so much as mentioned

or- or

he'd be day dreaming, completely lost in his own world and someone would come up to him and ask him what he's thinking ab cus he looks basically dead to the world

still in a daze from being abruptly brought back to reality he'd just dreamily sigh, "y/n~" without even realizing

mans was SO embarrassed afterwards

face was beet red

*frantically looks around to see if you heard him or not*

----------------------------------------

bonus: love languages!!

physical touch // giving

words of affirmation // receiving

----------------------------------------

𝐛𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐠𝐨 𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐮𝐤𝐢

he's so emotionally constipated

that's not to say we wouldn't know he'd have feelings for you

he's actually pretty emotionally intelligent, and would be very perceptive of your emotions contrary to popular belief, he's just oblivious to his own feelings and emotions

he'd just ignore them

try his best to ignore you

key word try

but he always gives in and he'd make up dumb reasons to come bother you like-

he'd barge into your dorm while you're studying and he'd be like

"y/n i need a pen,"

"oh? uh ok, here you can have this one," you hand him a pen that you happened to have tucked behind your ear

"no not that one,"

...????

"can't you go to momo and ask her to make the pen you want..?"

bakugo starts to get grumpy at this point lmao

"no, she doesn't know how to make it,"

"well, what pen do you want..??"

bakugo hesitates cus he doesn't wanna admit that he doesn't actually want a pen, he wants to be with you

"that one," he lamely points at a beat up tinkerbell pen that you've had since you were like twelve

"really?? out of all the pens you choose that one?"

"shut up and just get it"

"... you can grab it,"

he goes and grabs it and goes to walk out the door without a word and right before he leaves he leans back and looks at you

"i need a pencil"

"OH MY GOD BAKUGO"

he kept the tinkerbell pen btw

like denki, bakugo would steal things from your dorm and not just anything, things that are actually inconvenient to misplace

he'd take your bobby pin container or your favorite brush so you'd come to him to ask where it went, he'd give it back ofc but not without a fight

he'd act totally clueless and he'd wait till you actually start to get pissed to tell you where he actually put your thing

so back to how he'd actually be very aware of your emotions

he'd notice the smallest changes and can always tell when you're upset but he wouldn't exactly know how to help you

so instead of using words, he'd use actions

you had a really bad day and he walked you to your dorm and when he came in he's like

"shit, your dorm is a fucking disaster, how do you live like this," you scowl at bakugo cus like- wtf i'm rlly emotional here you're not helping

he scoffs and bends down to start picking up your shit

"seriously, i have no idea how you find anything in here, nothing is organized" and he'd just keeps grumbling like an old man while completely cleaning and reorganizing your room

dont you dare try and help him though, he will yell at you

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE

sero SCREAMS besfriends to lovers troupe

like- you two are already practically dating without even realizing it

the romantic tension

you guys banter and flirt with eachother so often, you both have no idea whether you're serious when you jokingly call the other sexy or not

the oblivious idiots troupe

sero makes everything a competition

not nearly to extent as bakugo would, but still goes a bit over the top

he'd use anything as an excuse to show off for you

one time, like the spiderman fanboy he is, he challenged you to see who can hang upside down the longest without passing out ( literally the stupidest idea, sero, you're going to loose braincells )

sero won, obviously and he takes full advantage of bragging rights

everyone says how denki's the flirt and whatever but NO

sero is the biggest mf flirt and denki got his game from him

so with that being said, you are not safe

HE IS A BULLY

he respects boundaries of course but that doesn't mean he's not gonna try and test his limits a bit and mess with you

he's always trying to get you flustered

god forbid you're shorter than him because he will tease the shit outta you for it

when you two train together, mf goes on overdrive ESPECIALLY if you two happen to be sparring together

he'd hover over you and lean his face in ever so slightly while your talking to him just to get a rise outta you

TILT YOUR HEAD UP WITH ONE FINGER

"could you repeat that? i'm having a hard time hearing,"

SHEEEEEEEE

but you also make fun of him for being tall, so it checks out

whenever he says some slick shit you're just like-

"I'm sorry, what? That's funny coming from someone who's above the national average height. you're disgusting, tall man; shrink perhaps" ( if anyone knows what tiktok audio i'm referencing, i'm in love with you )

hope you have your casket ready because sero's gonna slaughter your ass for that shit

ok but one time while you two were partnered up for hero training, you got on his nerves and he tied you up and left you hanging and the mf just left

maaaan were you livid

15 minutes

15 minutes you were left up there while sero was doing god knows what

you gave him the silent treatment for the rest of the day and sero was genuinely distressed cus he didn't mean to make you so mad

but lucky for him, he always knows how to get you to smile no matter how sad or are or how angry you are with him

he shoots you a piece of tape with his handwriting on it

he made up some stupid, horribly written poem asking for your forgiveness and he's just looking at you the entire time you're reading it with an exaggerated pout

how can you say mad at him?

on the topic of him sending you notes on his tape

he'd totally leave pieces of his tape in really obscure places in your dorm or even under your desk

they'd be really stupid messages too like-

"you stink"

or a really random inside joke you two have that makes literally no sense but even just the thought of it makes you laugh to tears

he'd also leave little origami figures he made with his tape in random places for you to find too

or he'd just give them to you

you have a shelf specifically dedicated for the things sero has made for you ( and he's really touched you actually keep all his shitty arts and crafts projects )

in conclusion, sero is the best and he is my favorite and i'd die for him

-----------------------------------------

bonus: love languages!!

gift giving // giving

physical touch // giving and recieving

-----------------------------------------

If you guys want, i can elaborate on their love languages in another post! <3

Random Drabble: Friends?

A random drabble about Haruka and Aria’s first time meeting each other and eventually becoming friends.

She laid back in the grass, letting the summer’s angry skin beat against the exposed skin of her face and arms and legs. She groaned. She was so freakin’ bored! It was the summer following her first year of school. The young girl hadn’t liked school but at least it was something to do!

Father Gabriel was off doing something which left her alone.

She had played with her dolls and action figures. She had attempted reading. Nothing could keep her attention for long.

With a frustrated groan she got up and wiped the dirt from her denim overalls and pulled the twigs and dirt from her unruly hair. She marched her way back into the main building and headed to the cafeteria. She got in line and got her tray of food before sitting at the first table she found. She picked at her food, not completely interested in actually eating it as much as moving it around on her plate.

But then, she overheard what may have been the best conversation she had ever heard. Father Gabriel strongly discouraged eavesdropping, but then again, Father Gabriel wasn’t there, so eavesdrop she did.

“The boy is apparently being...difficult.” The woman that Aria knew to be one of the nurses shook her head before taking another bite of her sandwich. “They should be back soon, but Father Gabriel called and warned the charge nurse that he’s difficult.”

“How old is he?” One of the teachers asked curiously.

“Seven.”

Aria beamed at that; a kid her age was coming!

She was the only child living there and it was boring. The adults got annoyed with her quickly. The teenagers had no interest in playing with her. But a seven year old! That was only a year older than her! Finally! Somebody to play with!

Leaving her mostly untouched tray on the table, she took off as fast as her little legs would carry her to the dormitories to change. She would be putting on her best clothing. Father Gabriel had taught her that first impressions mattered, right? She flung her dirty clothes into the corner of her room and changed into her favorite Power Rangers shirt and a pair of clean shorts in fire engine red. She traded her dirty sneakers for her church shoes.

Aria yanked a brush almost violently through her hair before tying it up into a ponytail as neatly as she could.

She was practically vibrating with excitement while she waited in the foyer. She had brought her best toys along with her; several Power Ranger action figures and a few Rescue Heroes.

After what felt like eons had passed, the main doors had opened. She saw Father Gabriel first and instinctively straightened her back and grinned. But then she saw the kid with the Father. I thought they said it was a boy? She wondered curiously as she studied him. His face was pretty with light green eyes and a frown. His hair was as dark as chocolate and fell straight, just past his chin.

Girl? Boy? Who cares! She gathered her toys in her arms and flew down the stairs, skidding to a stop in front of them.

“Hi! I’m Aria! What’s your name? Do you want to play? I have some pretty cool toys andー”

Father Gabriel cut her off with a hand on her head, ruffling her hair. “Aria, take a breath. This is Haruka. We have some things we have to do and he needs time to adjust.”

“But!” Her eyes went wide and she felt tears pooling in them. “I want to play!” She whined.

“Stop whining like a baby.” Haruka lips twisted into a scowl of disgust.

“Don’t call me a baby!” She roared, her cheeks puffing.

“Then don’t act like one.” His voice was flat, but his eyes had darkened.

“Aria! Haruka!” Father Gabriel scolded. “Aria, go to your room, now.” He demanded, his eyes hot on hers.

The tears spilled down her cheeks then.

Haruka snorted, his lips pulling into a smirk as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Now you’re gonna’ cry? Figures. Baby.”

“Jerk!” She screamed before dropping all of her toys and lunging at him, using her entire body to knock him to the ground.

He fought back, grabbing her ponytail and yanking before jamming his knee into her stomach.

A full blown battle ensued. And by the time that the adults, an entire hoard of them, were able to separate the two, the entire foyer had been destroyed. The small table and vase of flowers on it broke to pieces when the boy had launched her small body like a projectile at them, the fancy velvet chairs by the window had broken to pieces when Aria had literally picked them up and thrown them at the boy.

Both children were bruised and bleeding by the time that they had made it to opposite sides of the medical ward.

Haruka had sat there silently, rage literally radiating off of him, as a nurse dressed his wounds while Aria sobbed so loudly that she could be heard through the entire ward.

For months, this had become a cycle for them. The girl would regularly try to engage with Haruka, as though nothing had ever happened between them, and he would reject her, sending her into a violent rage that always ended with whatever room they were in being obliterated.

Finally, a kid around her age was moving in, and he had to be a freakin’ jerk.

⚹⚹⚹

She was going to break Haruka, one way or another. He was the only kid her age here and she was bored! But any time she attempted to play with him or even just talk to him, he dismissed her as though she were some pesky gnat. It made her furious. And each time, they ended up fighting each other, having to be dragged apart and brought to opposite wings of the building for their own safety. And while the staff patted her on the head through her loud sobs, she could faintly hear his shouting about how he hated her and wished she’d just leave him alone. It always hurt her feelings.

She just wanted to play.

She found him sitting alone underneath one of the big trees out back, a book in his hands. What a loser! He was reading when he could have been doing something fun!

She climbed up high into another tree, careful to stay quiet. This was going to be a surprise attack. She had even dressed in all black, wanting to look the part of the ninja she was playing at. Once she was up high enough, she settled comfortably onto a thick branch. The pretend ninja carefully removed her bag from her back, resting it between her thighs on the branch.

From it, she pulled out the first of several water balloons.

Tongue sticking out in concentration, she closed one eye as she took aim. Her eyes went wide and her arms shot into the air at her victory once the balloon hit its targetーHaruka’s head. He shot up, dropping his book, and looked around wildly for the culprit, snarling. He’d kill the idiot that did it, though he had a sneaking suspicion who it was.

He looked up and his clear green eyes locked with the golden ones of the girl who was grinning maniacally in a tree above him.

With inhuman speed he raced to the tree and then up it, more agile than Aria had anticipated.

She was panicking, trying to stuff her stuff back into her bag while looking for an escape route. While going up high had been a good idea for making her shot, she hadn’t thought about the fact that she could also potentially end up trapped there.

When he made it to her branch, she didn’t have time to even cry out before he shoved her off of it, sending her body hurdling down into the ground.

When he made it back to level ground, the two immediately proceeded to fight and wrestle with little thought. She had hurt her leg in the fall, but she wasn’t planning on letting that stop her from kicking his ass.

But kick his ass, she did not. It wasn’t long before he had her pinned to the ground, his forearm shoved down into her throat as he snarled at her.

“What is your problem, you freak?” He shouted at her. “Why can’t you leave me alone?”

His eyes were practically on fire as he glared at her. He quickly let go of one of her arms to shove his bangs back out of his face, though they were quick to fall right back into his way. She blinked back tears as she noticed that pretty boy had a small problem that he seemed totally unaware of; his bangs, a thick curtain had matted to his forehead with sweat, while the rest of his hair which had been about shoulder length at the time, curtained both of their heads. She noticed that it was now full of twigs and dirt, and also seemed to be blocking some of his vision.

She cocked her head to the side, ignoring how light-headed his choking was making her.

“Haruka?” She rasped out, a smile tugging at her lips. “Why don’t you tie your hair back? So it’s not in your way when you fight or play.” Her own hair had been pulled back into a ponytail in preparation for her attack, though it had fallen a little bit loose in their struggle.

“Because I’m not a stupid girl and ponytails are for girls, you moron.”

“Then why do you have long hair at all? Idiot.” She grinned at him when his eyes went comically wide.

In all honesty, it was just because he didn’t care overmuch for his hair. It was easier to just let it grow and do its own thing. He only put minimal energy into keeping his bangs somewhat trimmed, since that was the part of his hair that got into his face.

Against his will, a faint blush speckled his tanned cheeks. He hadn’t wanted to admit that he had tried countless times to tie it back because yes, it did get in his way regularly. He had sat in his room on more than one occasion, growing frustrated as he faced his mirror and attempted to tie it back. If he used an elastic, he usually couldn’t get it placed correctly on his head and it would be lopsided. He seemed to have better luck with ribbons, but he didn’t know how to properly tie them and they ended up so loose that the ponytail fell out within minutes.

“Let me up, stupid.” She shoved at him and lost in his thoughts, he backed off of her, resting his bottom against his heels.

She stood and walked behind him, ignoring the batting of his hands and his protests at her as she proceeded to pull an extra ribbon from her pocket. She had preferred elastic ties for her own hair, but had found a cool looking ribbon a while back, and kept it on her as a spare.

She grabbed his hair and pulled it into a low tail that rested at the nape of his neck, explaining step by step what she was doing as she did it. She thought that a higher tail would suit him better, but his hair wasn’t quite long enough for one yet.

The ribbon she used was a thin, white braided cord. And it was something that he had kept and used every day since.

Warfit Combat Conditioning System

Attention Martial Artist, Combat Athlete, Military Personnel, or LEO…

The Step-By-Step Program for Winning Through Superior Conditioning!

Dear Friend,

If you want to build superhuman levels of conditioning, be able to continuously access your highest level of skill even while fatigued, and move with the confidence that comes from knowing you’re the best, then this will be the most important letter you read all year!

Here’s Why…

Hi, my name is Jon Haas – Certified Underground Strength Coach-Level 2, 9th dan Black belt, Certified Personal Trainer, and creator of the Warrior Fitness Training System. I have spent over 30 years – a lifetime – training, studying and working with the best in the areas of martial arts and strength and conditioning to figure out how to reverse engineer the ultimate in human performance.

Back in 2008 I wrote the book, Warrior Fitness: Conditioning for Martial Arts. Since then I have been working harder than ever to refine my understanding, improve my system, and clarify my communication to bring you the best Program I can design!

Why is conditioning so important?

Frank Gotch, the first American professional wrestler to win the world heavyweight free-style championship, and credited for popularizing professional wrestling in the United States once said, “Conditioning is the greatest hold” – And he was right!

You know that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you feel like you’re on the verge of gassing out in a sparring match, a game, or in the ring? You want to avoid that feeling at all costs!

Possessing a highly conditioned body is the key to unlock ALL the other attributes and skills you’ve trained so hard for!

Without conditioning a fighter has no access to his techniques…

Without conditioning an athlete has no access to his strength..

Without conditioning a warrior has no access to his skills…

All the techniques, tactics, and strategies you’ve worked so hard to learn and develop as a martial artist or athlete are far less effective when fatigued UNLESS you’ve trained to preserve power and strength in that fatigued state!

In my training and research I discovered these 3 critical combat conditioning mistakes that that separate the top performers from the ordinary…

Conditioning Mistake #1: Focusing on Aerobic Fitness

Combat, like life, does not happen at one constant rate of speed. It is multi-faceted in nature. There will be periods of brutally intense activity followed by lulls in the action, again followed by another flurry of activity. Being able to use those lulls in action to recover is a critical ability for the warrior.

Steady state cardio, Long Slow Distance (LSD) training simply will not cut it. Running on a treadmill may be appropriate for a hamster in a cage, but human beings require more. Long distance running can be beneficial for mental toughness and/or active recovery, but it should not be the primary focus of a warrior’s endurance training.

Conditioning Mistake #2: WOD Envy

The current rage in conditioning training, especially when talking about combat conditioning, is to completely change up the workout for each and every session.

This has the advantage of keeping the training fresh and throwing the body into chaos each time so it never knows what hit it. The hardcore advocates of this type of conditioning stress that this environment will create a very broad and general fitness that prepares the trainee for almost every physical contingency, both known and unknowable. This enables one to prepare for the chaos and uncertainty of combat by training in an uncertain and chaotic environment.

Seems to make a lot of sense on the surface, right?

However, one of the problems resident with this type of training is that random training yields random results. It’s difficult to measure progress when the parameters are constantly shifting.

In order for the body to produce an adaptation for improved performance in life, sport, or martial art, we must apply specific stimulus as per the SAID Principle (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand). This basically means that the body adapts with a specific type of fitness to any demand which is imposed on it. When the same exercise is performed for too long, the body adapts to the stresses of each set and the adaptations or returns get smaller and smaller. Once it has adapted to the stress, then it’s time to change or increase the stress or else we fall into that trap of diminishing returns.

Conditioning Mistake #3: All High Intensity ALL the Time

Training harder demands training smarter.

We all know people who think they can continue to grow and continue to make gains indefinitely by simply pushing harder and harder in their training day in and day out. But what always happens to them? Injury, burn out, sickness, stagnation. Then what? Well, once they get back on their feet they start the same cycle all over again. Why? Because maybe, just maybe they weren’t pushing hard enough or using enough brute force last time to succeed and this time will be different. Riiigghhht…

How about this instead?

Train Smarter AND Harder.

Bring the intensity every workout, yes. Push the limits, hell yes. Keep moving forward, always. But not always in a straight line. What do I mean? Training smarter involves the usage of planned back-off workouts and deload weeks which, in effect, allow the body to take a step back in order to spring forward again with greater energy and intensity.

Additionally, it is of paramount importance to have a properly structured strategy in place for recovery and restoration. Continued progression and development demands it. Without a recovery strategy, the gains in fitness slow, plateaus are hit and NOT overcome, injuries occur, and as we said earlier, progress sputters to a screeching halt.

Here are just some of the incredible benefits you’ll discover in the WarFit Combat Conditioning System…

An 8-Week Combat Conditioning Program That Will Forge A Warrior’s Whole-Body Strength, Endurance, and Toughness!

Learn How to Utilize the Revolutionary NEW Concept of Programmable Chaos to Power Your Workouts

Highly Effective Workouts Focused on Functional, Real-World Strength and Muscle Building!

Warrior Flexibility Cool Down Routine to Remove Residual Tension and Reduce Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness!

And, More…

Don’t just take my word for it though, read what some of my students have to say…

“I started following Jon a little while ago and put into practice some of his ideas and principles from his blogs into my workouts and when Jon offered a few people to beta test his new WarFit program, I had to try it out. Each training day was a welcomed challenge, there were some techniques I have never performed before and the tutorial videos Jon shared helped shorten my learning curve to maximize the results. The combinations for each of the training days left me with a feeling of a balanced full body workout and performing the joint mobility with the band exercises before training and on the off days kept the muscles from feeling tight or sore compared to my normal routine. After the first couple of days there was an extra sense of well-being both physically and mentally. It’s hard to put into words how I felt after the two weeks were done. I would sell this program short if I just said “I felt great.” … there were definitely some internal changes happening that even my coworkers noticed and commented “There is something different about you. What have you been doing?” If this is happening after two weeks, imagine after the full program. I for one, am looking forward to starting from the beginning and to share my results. Jon, great Job on this program and thank you for the opportunity to participate.”

-Jaymes Rexroth, Bujinkan Martial Arts Student

“What can I say, this program is awesome and I have tried a few however this one gives me the just what I was looking for.

Jon Haas well done!”

-Michael Pitt, Taishinrei Bujinkan Dojo

“I tried Jon Haas’ Warfit program and was impressed! This is the first fitness program I have tried in recent years. The Warfit program is laid out in a very easy to use format with schedules and routines setup. There were many exercises I never heard of before but Jon also included video links for the routines and exercises which made it easy to understand also. I found the work out to be very challenging yet inspiring. Jon obviously has a wealth of knowledge in the martial arts and fitness realm. As a martial artist (and someone that needs to get fit!), I would highly recommend the Warfit program for anyone that wants to be serious about taking fitness to another level!!”

-Jamie Yugawa, Martial Arts Student

“In my opinion WarFit is a great program! Jon has provided great detail in this program and it is very easy to use. It is presented to you with great explanations and step by step instruction. it’s all laid out in front of you all you have to do is DO IT! Warfit will give you muscle hypertrophy, muscular endurance, cardiovascular endurance, Mobility and functional and tactical strength. I really enjoy the set rep schemes that Jon uses along with the different protocols and the way he combines them. This program has the feel of old school bodybuilding, calisthenic resistance training along with modern tactical functional training. I like that each day has a different focus. Again, it is a very well-thought-out program and I know it will give you great results – I know it kicked my butt!”

-Rick Ray, CEO and Head Instructor of Rick Ray’s Warrior Arts Academy

If you are still reading this then by now you are probably thinking, OK Jon this sounds like an amazing program that is perfect for me to take my training to the next level (and you;d be absolutely right!)…

BUT, what’s the investment?

Well, hang on a sec…

My students (I hate the word “client” – I’m a coach not a hair dresser!) pay me upwards of $350 to design a customized, comprehensive program like this for them.

But since I want to make this critical conditioning information extremely affordable for everyone who wants to become the strongest, most capable, bad-ass version of themselves, I am NOT going to charge you anywhere near the hundreds of dollars the information in this program is worth!!

What about hiring a personal trainer to create a program like this for you instead?

Sure. You could… But 99% of the personal trainers out there in your local gym are just out of school. They took some classes and a few multiple choice tests. Their amount of real world experience and training is very limited. Not to mention that you will not pay them a small, one time fee, but depending on where you live, you could end up paying them over $500 to $1,000 for just one month of training with little or nothing to show for it! Why waste your time like that when I have done all the leg work for you already?

But wait, there’s more… When you order The WarFit Training System today, you will also get:

Bonus #1

*Chugs drink then slams glass on table but not hard enough to break anything* LEMME HEAR BOUT YOUR OC'S

OKAY BUT JESUS I DIDN’T EXPECT ANYONE TO ASK MOTHER OF PEARL.

WARNING ITS A LONG ASS POST

SO, MY OC RIGHT NOW IS DEMI, AND WHILE I’M STILL DRAWING HIM UP HERE AND THERE ALLOW ME TO ENGROSS YOU IN HIS STORY.

SO Demi is an Incubus living in the city of “The Underground” similar to a city like Manhattan; He first came as a human taking a trip home from a night out in the city, and suddenly winds up within the city of monsters, demons, and other unexplained beings.

He’s turned against his will into a demon by another character, a strip club owner, only known as Persephone, who runs the Fleur de Grenade with her attendant Hades. While he doesn’t quite recall his history as a human, Demi earns his new name from Persephone and works as a dancer in the club as, really, he doesn’t have anywhere else to go. However, it’s the introduction of @alolanbeowulf ‘s OC who travels through different worlds, Olliver, that convinces him to stay rather than to journey through the mysterious city.

You see, The Underground is a place divided by gang wars, demons and their worshippers, gods tossed from their shrines and other things left in the depths of well... Purgatory, if anything. The Gods control the weather, the people, the lifestyle, and their followers reap from the benefits. Each division is usually a District or a Community (Debating on either) where Demi lives, is District Eros, ruled by Persephone.

As of now, it’s unknown what or who Persephone is. Rather, she simply is known as Persephone, the other fallen gods of the districts aren’t as joyously grateful to newcomers or potential threats. The Underground’s way of life, particularly Eros, is that of lust. Your desires are amplified, sex is king, and there is always a party which usually becomes something darker or worse yet, a District related attack.

It’s said demons like Lucifer hide out in the city, while monsters of unparalleled appearances creep and lurk in the cover of darkness, the city hoisted by an ocean of murkiness and forebode. I actually wrote about some of the scenery in my writing tag, if you’d like, totally take a look sometime as well!

On Demi’s side, he’s aware that he’s not “like the other demons” and yearns to find out the truth. Though Olliver is his best friend and roommate, Demi actually slips off from their apartment to find himself in some way, shape or form. He’s a very laid back and kind guy, and apologizes frequently, mainly, due to being captured as a sex slave by a demon summoner who summoned him after being sought out in Persephone’s club. As it stemmed, Demi’s original personality was lost after becoming an Incubus by Persephone’s “gemstone” he wears as a choker; Thus, when summoned by the strange demon summoner, Demi developed his persona through the interactions he had with the summoner and creatures within The Underground while enslaved. He doesn’t like to talk on it, but because he was enslaved, he was abused to the point of fearing that he was only ever useful for sex, and magic, as the summoner would routinely drain him of whatever energies the Incubus would garner to use in spells and rituals.

It was when the summoner tried to use the gem wrapped around Demi’s neck, that effectively stole back all of Demi’s energy, sapping the kidnapper to skin and bones. Horrified and intrigued, Demi slipped away, taking the books of his capturer and his key: Naked and reborn into a world that he feared and detested. Persephone found him again, through her own agents, and brought him to her club once more, offering to allow him to forget what he had been through and become one of “her court” once more. Refusing politely to forget, Demi took back the job of becoming a dancer once more, and easily began to use magic from the writings his captor had previously read.

To this day, Demi summons demons and monsters for not only his usage, but also as guidance, he conjures the goddess Parvati after months of researching and practice to obtain his memories through a demonic contract, only to find the goddess calling him by a completely different name: “Chris”. Confused and distraught by the new persona, Parvati is overwhelmed by the theoretical fact that her previous contractee, her “child” is if anything, dead, and Demi is the husk she has left. Vowing to protect him and guide him back to his previous life, she forms a contract with him, a piece of his memory coming back in the form of Parvati hugging a young child closely while a dark figure watches far behind.

Ah! Before I forget, Demi’s name comes from Demetri, and as he began his witchcraft and magic studying, has taken up numerous names to bring to life his “memories” and feelings. He wears the same rolled-up sleeved red flannel as he did when he first arrived in The Underground and is never seen without it. As an Incubus, he has horns which curl slightly back, and keeps his hair windswept into a faux mohawk, or, just combed over since dancing and a tight schedule generally does not give him time to routinely check himself up besides a quick one-two.

He carries his keys hooked onto his pants, attached to a rubber cord which he can effortlessly pull and swing into a makeshift weapon, the action itself coming as near instinct to him.

FACTS ABOUT DEMI

- He’s actually pansexual/bi but is leaning towards men as preference.

- He’s an artist, but he doesn’t know why or how he can draw, he has a habit of summoning Parvati to draw henna all over his body, which has recently become a hot topic within the city. He can also control others and even change them through painting or drawing their portrait, effectively making him feared through his unconventional pictomancy

- He doesn’t trust Persephone, but works under and with her because as she said herself, compared to the other Gods and leaders, she’s at the most, more concerned of her people than herself.

- He fell in love with someone once before, but, he stays as their friend when he realized that they simply found someone who makes them happy (It’s what he wants for them in the first place)

- He has the unusual habit of shaving apple skins because he hates the actual skins. (He claims its because he saw once how dirty the food in The Underground can be, but would eat Persephone’s Pomegranates without a peep)

- A health fanatic, Demi is constantly toying with exercise regimes, trends, and tries haphazardly to get Olliver into lifting, dancing, or whatever is on mind for the first fifteen minutes. If he eats something he knows is potentially “unhealthy”, you can find him obsessively squatting or lifting to work off what was given.

- He’s very fond of magic, and finds numerous ways to blend magic into his line of work

- Can be found singing to his plant pot full of succulents when not actively dancing or summoning demons

- While is “around” his 20′s, he still acts like a child in that he is naive and craves to understand the world. Many times it’s Olliver who has to help rope him out of situations that spiral out of control; other times, it’s Demi who helps Olliver with key quotes and odd phrases when the going gets rough.

- Loves the company of Wolves, in one instance when he went missing, he was found with a pack of wolves among him, he didn’t understood why, but he felt it was “natural” to be amongst them.

- Does card readings on a daily basis and can foretell events to come, this gives him a sense of hopelessness in the people he comes across, that he cannot do much to change their fate. He is still optimistic however that fate can be changed.

- In reality, while Demi is becoming his own person and being and tries to find who he was before, Parvati knows deep down, that the real Demi is nothing like the copy. It’s the copy’s personality that is in fact, a mere shell of what was previously taken away. If anything, Demi is a figment of imagination in the paradox of Persephone altering his original fate.

- Is an unapologetic fan of funk and disco music

- Wants to learn how to wrestle, but is mostly in it for the excuse of wearing skimpy outfits

- Has and will continue “changing” people for the good of their fates. Has also been caught making a random stranger’s body grow huge just to see what it was like to pictomance once.

- Is usually noted as the most optimistic and polite person of The Underground (Not a good thing)

- Has formed contracts with Baphomet, Lilith, Parvati, Fae folk, and others

- Claimed to be friends with Cthulhu

- Afraid of being abandoned and has recurring nightmares of such.

- Haunted by a dark man who claims to be the “Shadow of the collective unconsciousness” in his dreams.

Last but not least,

- Knows who exactly is the true enemy of The Underground.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING GOSH THIS MADE MY WHOLE NIGHT

Peacock is here, adding thousands of hours of content on top of the already endless list of things we have at our disposal to watch. The streaming service comes from NBCUniversal and features a ridiculous amount of TV shows and movies to consume. Where do you start, though?

First of all, take a look at everything already leaving Peacock. Many of the blockbuster films that might have drawn you to the service will be departing shortly, even though the service launched widely today. Combine that with our overall thoughts on Peacock and you might question whether it's worth trying out at all. If you're like us, though, and you need a complete set of streaming services to choose from, there are quite a few excellent moves for you to delve into on the service.

Below, we've come up with the 20 movies most worth watching right away. Some of these you've likely seen many times before but are always worth another viewing. Others, though, might be new discoveries for you to enjoy. Whatever the case, you'll have plenty to watch while you wait for The Office to finally be added in full.

1. All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records

If you were a child of the '80s or '90s, chances are you are at least somewhat familiar with Tower Records. The iconic chain music store had locations around the world before online music became a thing and it was eventually driven out of business. This documentary, directed by Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star--and noted son of Tom Hanks--Colin Hanks, digs into the store's history, its expansion throughout the '90s, and its eventual bankruptcy. If you've never seen this documentary, it's more than worth your time and shows just how devoted people were to this chain, including some of the biggest stars in the music industry.

2. American Psycho

Before Christian Bale played Batman, he portrayed a fictional serial killer named Patrick Batemen in this very weird and entertaining 2000 adaptation of a Bret Easton Ellis novel. Bateman is an investment banker with a dark side who brutally murders people at random, usually while dancing to '80s pop music and spouting music trivia. The film is told from his point of view, as he searches for meaning.

3. Back in Time

What better series of movies to do a documentary on than Back to the Future? Back in time is loaded with new interviews, plenty of behind-the-scenes stories, and a deep dive into what made this franchise so special.

4. Fletch

Sure, these days Chevy Chase is best known for playing horrible human being Pierce Hawthorne on the TV show Community. In the '80s, though, Chase had quite the film career, including the National Lampoon's Vacation franchise. Fletch is some of his most entertaining work. It's a comedy in which he plays a news reporter and master of disguise (Not really, he just puts on costumes and pretends to be other people) trying to get to the bottom of a millionaire's plot to have him killed. It's absurd and very funny.

5. Universal monster movies

What would a streaming service from NBCUniversal be without the Universal monsters? Peacock is filled with classic Universal monster movies, from Dracula and Frankenstein to The Creature from the Black Lagoon and Abbot and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. There's even an entire section of the service dedicated solely to these classic films.

6. Highlander

There can only be one! The 1986 film about a sword-wielding immortal named Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) launched a franchise that included multiple movie sequels and several TV shows. Only the first movie is available, but it's worth watching--especially if you love battles to the death.

7. Howard the Duck

This is obviously the most important Marvel movie of all time. Who needs the Avengers when you have Howard the Duck? Yes, long before he was an Easter egg in Guardians of the Galaxy, Howard the Duck had his own movie, and it's somehow wonderful and terrible all at once. The plot is utterly ridiculous: Howard is propelled from his duck-filled world to Earth, where he agrees to manage a rock band. Then he finds out why he's really there: to stop a laser from destroying his home planet. Watch this movie and marvel (get it?) at what comic book movies were back in 1986.

8. I Am Big Bird

Ever wonder what life was like living inside of a giant bird puppet? This documentary explores the life of Caroll Spinney, the man who portrayed Big Bird on Sesame Street from 1969 until 2019, performing both in-costume and the character's voice. It's a fascinating look at the person behind one of pop culture's most iconic figures.

9. King Ralph

While you may know him as the dad from Roseanne/The Conners, or the guy from 10 Cloverfield Lane, or even Walter from The Big Lebowski, John Goodman also starred in 1991's King Ralph. In the film, the entire British royal family dies in a freak electrocution accident, and American lounge singer Ralph Jones (Goodman) winds up becoming the King of England. Is it a ludicrous setup for a film? Absolutely. Is it a funny movie? Absolutely.

10. Man on the Moon

Jim Carrey's performance as Andy Kaufman is spellbinding to watch in this biopic that studies the comedian's career. Whether he's wrestling Jerry "The King" Lawler or assuming the alter ego of lounge singer Tony Clifton, it's hard to look away from Carrey as Kaufman in this movie.

11. Matinee

Peacock really does love John Goodman. In Matinee, King Ralph himself stars as a movie producer trying to mount a preview of his B horror movie in Florida during the Cuban missile crisis. While set during a very serious and troubling period, this comedy is ultimately very funny--and at points truly bizarre thanks to director Joe Dante (Gremlins, Small Soldiers). If ever you've wanted to see Goodman get punched out by someone in a mutant ant costume, this is the film for you. And if you haven't wanted to see that, it should probably be on your list now.

12. Psycho

The horror classic is one of many Alfred Hitchcock films available on Peacock. You can also watch The Birds, Rear Window, Vertigo, and Rope, among many others.

13. Reservoir Dogs

Before Pulp Fiction, this was the movie that put Quentin Tarantino on the map. Shot on a small budget with an A-list cast, Reservoir Dogs is one of the most interesting heist movies you'll ever see. What makes it so interesting--and cheap to make--is that you don't actually see the heist. Instead, you see the planning and then the aftermath when it all goes horribly wrong. Rather than focusing on the actual heist, Reservoir Dogs is a character study as you watch these relative strangers fall apart when their seemingly perfect plan doesn't work out.

14. Silent Running

Silent Running, which was released in 1972, is never included in discussions about the best sci-fi movies and that's a serious mistake. It's set in a future where all plant life on Earth is dead and a botanist (Bruce Dern) tends to some of the last existing vegetation on what is essentially a space station connected to a commercial freight ship. Things take a drastic turn when he learns the plant life is to be destroyed and sets out to protect it at all costs.

15. Sleepaway Camp

You won't find much on Peacock from the slasher subgenre of horror films. However, the first Sleepaway Camp movie is there and if you've somehow never seen it before, get ready for a wild ride. It's a familiar story of teenagers at a summer camp where bodies start piling up, but the journey is a fun one and it led to sequels. While you won't find those on Peacock, they are on Shudder.

16. The Blair Witch Project

The Blair Witch Project is the found footage movie that all other found footage movies aspire to be. From the moment the first trailer for this film premiered before screenings of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, audiences were terrified of whatever was going to happen on-screen. The end result is a low budget horror movie that remains absolutely terrifying to this day. Peacock also has the non-found footage sequel, Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows. You can skip that one, though.

17. The Bourne Identity

The first Jason Bourne movie remains the best Jason Bourne movie. The Bourne Identity introduced Matt Damon as the action star nobody knew he could be. Playing Jason Bourne, a man with amnesia and incredible fighting skills that many people seem to want dead, Damon and director Doug Liman created a gritty and violent action film that launched a franchise--and a theme park stunt show.

18. The Matrix

Of course, you've seen The Matrix. Everybody has seen The Matrix. You're probably one of the unfortunate souls that sat through sequels to The Matrix too. And when The Matrix 4 hits theaters, you'll line up to see that too. That doesn't mean you should stop rewatching the original, though, and Peacock has it ready and waiting for you. The sequels are also there but don't do that to yourself.

19. The Mummy

Sure, you could watch the old Mummy movies where he's one of the Universal monsters. Instead of that, though, you should watch Brendan Frasier fight the Mummy. What movie hasn't been improved by having Brendan Frasier in it? This take on the Mummy, which is more action than horror, is fun and is ready to stream on Peacock--along with 2001's The Mummy Returns.

20. You're Next

2013's You're Next is a thrilling and inventive horror movie in which a house full of people is being taunted by home invaders as they are picked off one-by-one. Produced on a tiny budget and released just a couple of months after The Purge, You're Next wasn't the box office smash it deserved to be. Thankfully, though, it can find a new audience on Peacock.

New Me Too accusations hit A-list celebrities, streamers, influencers

The surge of accusations echoes the 2017 “Me Too” motion, inspired by the Harvey Weinstein allegations, which included prevalent use of the “#MeToo” hashtag.

This time, viral accusations of sexual misconduct versus comic Chris D’Elia seemed to trigger a new wave of accusations versus A-list teenager stars, video game banners and developers, battling professionals, and internet personalities.

Go to Expert’s homepage for more stories

Several industries and internet-adjacent neighborhoods appear to be in the middle of a huge “Me Too” moment, as hundreds of sexual assault claims have been magnified throughout social media platforms over the previous week.

In the video gaming market alone, The New York Times reports that more than 70 individuals, most of them ladies, have come forward with allegations that consist of gender-based discrimination, unwanted sexual advances, and sexual assault.

Accusations against A-list celebrities like star Ansel Elgort, singer Justin Bieber, and “Riverdale” cast member Cole Sprouse— who all denied the allegations– have trended on Twitter.

Online celebs like Twitter character Jovan Hill and TikTokers Ondreaz Lopez and Cody Orlove have all reacted to allegations of sexual attack and abuse, saying sorry to the accusers however rejecting the extent of their claims.

Additionally, huge stars in the professional fumbling neighborhood have been accused of differing degrees of sexual attack, with the majority of the accusations emerging on social networks utilizing the hashtag “#SpeakingOut,” Deadspin reported A few of the implicated dealt with instant consequences including shootings, as dozens of ladies in the fumbling community stepped forward in a matter of days.

But while some neighborhoods seem taking the accusations seriously– especially in the streaming and wrestling markets, where there are hierarchies of authority figures that can veterinarian claims and hold people liable– much of the allegations are being brought forward by either confidential figures that can’t be vetted, or are being vetted in a social networks environment dominated by teenagers and young people, where the quickly moving tide of public opinion is the only landscape being impacted by the claims.

Hence, considering that a lot of the allegations versus internet stars, artists, actors, and other public figures are being consulted with rejections, a suspicion that there’s a “ incorrect accusation pattern” going on has gotten traction.

However apart from a handful of claims that seem blatantly fictitious, it’s difficult to judge whether the rejections are sincere– and the idea that mainly girls are comprising allegations for “clout” is rooted in a mainly unfounded stigma against accusers that has actually trickled down through generations reaching today’s Gen Z posters.

Up until now, it appears that a lot of the current claims versus popular and internet-famous figures have fit a pattern: allegations are posted online, they acquire traction and are extensively accepted as honest, the accused posts their rejection, and the tide rapidly flips on the accuser. Without an objective vetting process of each allegation– which hasn’t occurred yet, offered of the speed of this cycle– posters seem to fluctuate from their desire to “believe females,” caused by the 2017 Me Too motion, and their desire to believe the accused, who are up until now mostly favored online figures.

Social network has been a specifying factor in the new Me Too wave, beginning with a viral thread about comic Chris D’Elia.

While the 2017 Me Too movement was largely stimulated by The New York Times and New Yorker‘s reports on Harvey Weinstein, which rollovered into physical activism like demonstrations, the present resurgence has up until now just happened in online spaces. If it continues to get steam– and if the allegations versus famous figures like Elgort and Bieber are either supplemented by reporting or elevated to legal action– it promises that the current burst of accusations could be amplified into something more similar to the global 2017 movement. Today, the most major claims and repercussions have been insulated in their particular communities: gaming and fumbling.

The rise in allegations can seemingly be attributed to the increase in social justice advocacy that’s happened following the killing of George Floyd, which inspired a burst of public demonstrations across the world. As more individuals relied on the internet throughout COVID-19 quarantine, anger over authorities brutality festered and eventually exploded into action. After Minneapolis burned and protesters were beaten throughout the US, some cops departments and cities have actually begun to change their policies.

Recently, internet-driven activism has actually sprung up elsewhere as people direct their cumulative outrage towards change. Pay disparities along racial lines and a lack of BIPOC representation in work environments has become a trending issue in numerous industries, including media and makeup In line with the anti-racism motion, cancel culture and viral callouts have both prospered, from capturing “Karens” on-camera to “ performative activism” reaction.

— SheRatesDogs (@SheRatesDogs) June 17, 2020

Her thread was magnified by the popular Twitter account “@SheRatesDogs,” which developed a thread with almost two lots accounts of ladies alleging that D’Elia had actually bugged them as teenagers and young adult females, soliciting both nude pictures and physical intimacy throughout encounters.

For the gaming market and streaming community, the wave of allegations appears to have begun on June 19, when five female implicated Twitch banner SayNoToRage of sexual harassment. Two women have most just recently made accusations about Bieber, MTV reports, consisting of one woman, Kadi, whose claims Bieber has actually not reacted to, and a confidential Twitter account developed the day the allegations were published under the name Danielle.

— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) June 21, 2020

Both accounts have actually gone through examinations by random Twitter users, and the sentiment that Bieber was guilty– perpetuated, in part, by “antis,” or individuals who dislike Bieber for fan-related functions– till Bieber posted his counter-claims, which seemed to mostly sway viewpoint in the other direction. That being stated, there are still viral tweets and big discussions over whether Bieber and his group are lying, consisting of in the replies to his own tweets.

Bieber provided 15 tweets countering the viral allegations versus him, consisting of short articles, screenshots of purported emails about his Airbnb appointment, and an image of a purported invoice for a hotel appointment. The thread of his own evidence, together with his declaration that the allegations versus him “were factually difficult” which he will “be working with twitter and authorities to take legal action” seemed to encourage many of the social media users who were interested.

— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) June 22, 2020

Most of the accusations and the denials have actually taken place so quickly that there hasn’t been very much reporting, and little to no legal action, to vet the claims. Rather, the court of online popular opinion has actually been the environment where the existing Me Too wave is occurring. And since the characters being implicated have huge platforms and swaths of fans, there’s an inspiration to believe them over the accusers, many of whom are confidential and have claims that would need more extensive vetting to stand up in court or in a short article.

Offered the anonymous nature of a lot of the allegations, a narrative appears to be developing online that there is a “pattern” of incorrect accusations versus celebs, even though some of the accusers– like Lopez’s– have doubled down to say they aren’t lying, and the implicated is.

— James Charles (@jamescharles) June 22, 2020

There’s an established danger in right away thinking confidential and dubious claims.

As Sprouse and Lili Reinhart stated in response to claims about various “Riverdale” cast members that trended on Twitter, numerous of the allegations versus numerous “Riverdale” stars were revealed to relatively have actually come from from the exact same IP address, suggesting that a person individual was making numerous anonymous, dubious claims against numerous teenager stars. That exact same Twitter user suggested in a later tweet that they made incorrect accusations to show that a social networks mob will believe anything and that Sprouse was innocent.

— Pop Crave (@PopCrave) June 22, 2020

But there’s likewise a risk in presuming that due to the fact that a handful of allegations aren’t real, the rest aren’t– a presumption that has silenced or delegitimized accusers throughout history.

The idea that claims are made to acquire online fame is an especially harmful mindset, since it contributes to a preconception that deters victims to come forward. The concept that accusers become famous themselves for making incorrect allegations against popular figures overlooked the backlash and hate from the implicated individual’s fans and from online neighborhoods devoted to assaulting females, such as those that organized projects during Gamergate

Authorities figures recommend that the number of rapes and sexual assaults that are never ever reported or prosecuted far exceed the number of males who are wrongfully charged for sex crimes they didn’t dedicate, and while fake rape allegations get a lot of attention, studies suggest that between only 2%and 10%of allegations are actually unfounded.

Rapid Fire Questions and Answers: Getting Wild

Last month, you asked a ton of great questions in the comment section of my post on reclaiming your wildness and being less civilized, covering everything from rock climbing to role playing games, grappling to kung fu, walking meditation to grounding. For today’s post, I’m answering as many of them as I can.

Let’s get right to the questions.

Anthony Munkholm asked:

How about some tips for indoor rock climbing. Really been getting into this lately as great cross-training. Went outside in Colorado last summer and I’m hooked.

How do I increase finger strength? What about how being outside on a rock brings you so present?

I’m no expert in climbing, but from what I’ve gathered from friends who are, the best way for relative beginners to improve finger strength for climbing is to climb. Climbing places a specific type of stress on the fingers that is hard to replicate without actually climbing.

You can make it more systematic, of course, by moving back and forth between holds.

The same concepts that apply to training in general apply here as well. Don’t overdo it. Don’t train to failure every time. Stop short of the point where your grip totally fails.

On the rock, death or serious injury are serious possibilities. You slip, you fall. Even if there’s a pad underneath or a rope hitched to your waist, the lizard brain within perceives the situation to be dangerous. It forces the flow state. Riding the wave of the present and staying in the flow becomes a lot easier when death is on the line.

Chad Clark asked:

From your experience with grappling drills, how would you adopt martial arts into Primal aligned fitness endeavors? Also, what is keeping you from becoming more involved in the martial arts you listed? Or Dungeons and Dragons, for that matter?

I’d treat it like a high-intensity interval or sprint day. Grappling is seriously exhausting—and I wasn’t even going very hard at all!

I’m not sure. I may look into it a bit more. There’s certainly no shortage of training facilities these days. Keep you posted.

Ha! I was a big fan of fantasy and sci-fi earlier in life (Tolkien, Dick, Dune, etc), but never did dip my beak into D&D. These days, I frankly don’t have the time to get into something as involved and time-consuming as pen and paper role playing games.

Georgina wrote:

Excellent ideas. How about an article on “walking meditation in nature.” This is a formal practice with a blueprint to follow. this can be done solo or holding the hand of another. It connects us with the earth. It cultivates joy and gratitude. It places us in the present moment. Peace from n.c.

I love walking meditations. It’s the closest thing to an actual meditation I can sit (or walk) through. Beginners should probably start with Tara Brach, a Buddhist teacher who publishes guided meditations and lectures on her fantastic podcast and is a proponent of walking meditation (PDF). She suggests walking along a short predetermined path of 20-30 paces somewhere quiet and familiar. This creates boundaries and reduces distractions. Once you’re more confident in your ability to maintain focus, you can go on unstructured, longer walks through unfamiliar surroundings. The important thing is to pay attention to the shifting weight of your body as you walk, the feel of your footfalls, and the sensation of gliding through the air. As with sitting meditation, allow thoughts and other distractions to come and go; acknowledge but do not dwell on or judge them.

I find it much easier and more effective than sitting meditation.

There’s even a study which showed that a walking Buddhist meditation practice reduced depression, improved fitness and vascular function, and lowered stress hormones in depressed elderly patients to a greater extent than the same amount of walking without the meditating.

Alan requested:

Good article. I would like to see you write more in the future about finding balance between living less civilized and still within society. For example, whether love or hated the reboot of Point Break, there is a line in there that Bohdi says that really resonated with me. He said “We live on the grid, just on our own terms.” I would like to see you write about how that applies to the primal lifestyle. Thank you! Alan

Oh boy, this could turn into an entire post. I’ll keep it short and perhaps revisit it later.

As I allude to in the original post, for civilization to flourish and progress, we need both wildness and dependability. Creativity and diligence. In fact, each person must embody both energies.

First, figure out what you’re doing here on the planet. What are you trying to accomplish? Who or what are you responsible for? What gives you meaning? What’s best for you, your loved ones, your friends, your community?

Keep those in mind. Aim toward them. Then, indulge your wildness, but make sure it serves your ultimate goals of doing good, meaningful things, taking care of yourself and those around you, and improving your corner of the world.

Shake off the silly parts of civilization, like “taking the safe path” or “doing what you’re told,” and start thinking bigger, crazier.

bamboosmith asked a clear-cut one:

I live out in the country and do a lot of hanging from trees type pull ups. i’m older and wondered about going back and learning karate. i studied the martial arts in my 30’s for a few years and miss it. i feel like i may be too old 30 years later. any thoughts?

Just one: You’re not too old. Go, now.

I totally love this. I have 6 year old (wild) twins and it seems that this is what they do all the time. All I need to do is join them:) I also like to break out in dance or song spontaneously, and then the kids join me:)

Yes, follow them and do what they do. Funny story: A buddy of mine, Angelo Delacruz (master bodyworker, personal trainer, miracle worker, ninja, and PrimalCon star), was hosting a friend and his two young children at the gym one day. After noticing how much varied movement the kids did just inadvertently by being kids, he and a couple other trainers decided to follow them for ten minutes and do whatever they did.

After ten minutes, they were warm and loose and ready to train. Every joint had been articulated through every possible angle. It was the perfect warmup. For many, it’d be the perfect workout.

Sue Moore said:

Great article! New goal for 2018 is to take the road less travelled and be more spontaneous.

How’s that going for you? Don’t wait!

Megan said:

I work with elementary aged children with behavioral issues. Your post, especially the parts about embracing your inner weirdo, really spoke to me today. I’m going to take my students outside this week (or around the building if it’s still 15 degrees out here in Chicagoland) and look for ways that we can empower creativity and diversity of action inside the educational setting.

Beautiful. I know that standing desks have been shown to reduce behavioral issues and improve focus in elementary school students, so you may get good results! But there’s so much more to be found outside the desk space.

Ethan asked:

I’d like to see posts on how we normal, full-time workers, with kids, and all of that chaos, can find time to create, or play, or get involved.

What are the practical ways to do this?

The things you’re going to create, the ways you’ll play, the things you’ll want to involve yourself in are personal. You have to decide what appeals to you. However, there are a few ways you can increase the opportunities you have to create/play/involve yourself.

Figure out how much time you’re wasting on things that aren’t increasing your happiness, furthering your goals, or allowing you to express your wildness. Get a rough number—hours per day—and work on eliminating those wasteful practices. This will free up hours for you to do cool stuff.

If you haven’t started planning the week’s meals ahead of time, do that. Knowing what you’re going to make and having the ingredients ready to go (or even prepared ahead of time) saves a lot of time, reduces meal-time stress, and makes dinner a more harmonious, enjoyable. When you’re not stressed out from rushing to get dinner ready and on the table, you’ll have more mental energy to have a real conversation with your family, to discuss the day, to make plans for the weekend. That’s creation—positive energy where none existed before.

Don’t waste time on devices or social media. Don’t abstain entirely. Just don’t be one of the statistics who uses their phone for 4 hours a day just to avoid being alone in your own head.

Get to bed early and wake up early. Waking up before everyone else is magical in a quiet, simple way. It also gives you a nice chunk of free time to pursue any creative endeavors—working on a new side business, writing, reading (which I consider to be a kind of creation), exercising.

Gus Frey asked:

I have always wanted to learn a martial art, and was happy to read your lifelong desire and recent dive into it. Why do you recommend a grappling style as opposed to something like Kung Fu or something less about grappling? Thank you

As a kid, I loved roughhousing. This consisted mainly of wrestling, throwing, rolling around, pretty low skill-level stuff. It was intense and personal and hyperreal. It was also safer than throwing punches at each other. Fewer bruised egos, damaged friendships that way.

As an adult, grappling still seems safer to me than striking, though I know it’s all in how you train.

Brad wondered:

I’m interested in your take on grounding.

I wrote about it several years back. Check out the post.

Ive said it before on these pages, but I hunt.

It takes you off tracks, because that is where the game is. There is a pattern dictated by terrain, weather and vegetation – wild stuff – and there is a randomness, because you are pursuing something that you cannot know perfectly. Instead of following that trail that others have walked, you go where the situation dictates… even if no other human has set foot there for centuries, if ever!

There is sitting around a fire with your “tribe”. People who are there for the same purpose that you are, with whom you have a memory of shared experiences….. and who have shown time after time that they will put themselves through hardship to help you.

There is rolling out of the swag before dawn in lousy winter weather, knowing that the domesticated people couldn’t face that…..

Beautifully said, Peter. It hit me hard. That’s all.

Dugan said:

Honestly, based on the thoughts Mark laid out here, LARPing is firing on all cylinders. It takes creative thought to make a character, roleplay, and come up with armor and weapons. Then, depending on how serious you get, you can study and train in real martial arts in order to better your in-game play. You interact with a group of people equally zealous as you are. It takes time and organization to be efficient in crafting your needed items. And, depending on what LARP you do (anything from high fantasy to zombie apocalypse is out there) you can definitely interact with the environment in atypical ways. Heck, I’ve played a straight barbarian before, about as primitive as you can get. It’s great exercise and you can do it barefoot (in most cases.)

For all the jokes, LARPing really does sound like a good time and a perfect summation of the spirit of the post. If you ever watch those videos that people like to laugh at, you can’t help but notice the participants are ALL IN. Great comment.

Jason said:

Create vs Consume. While I may not have the right plan in place for create, I have had a large frustration with the amount of consume. I have been working towards consuming less (TV, phone data…useless stuff). A good way to get my butt in gear more often.

Yes, the ratio doesn’t have to be 1:1 or anything like that. The world wouldn’t work if everyone created more than they consumed. The trend is what to watch, and what to focus on changing. Do a little more creation and a little less consumption. Get it in where you can. Small steps.

That’s it for today, folks. Thanks for reading and asking. Be sure to follow up down below with any further questions you might have.

Take care!

Rapid Fire Questions and Answers: Getting Wild

Let’s get right to the questions.

Anthony Munkholm asked:

How about some tips for indoor rock climbing. Really been getting into this lately as great cross-training. Went outside in Colorado last summer and I’m hooked.

How do I increase finger strength? What about how being outside on a rock brings you so present?

You can make it more systematic, of course, by moving back and forth between holds.

The same concepts that apply to training in general apply here as well. Don’t overdo it. Don’t train to failure every time. Stop short of the point where your grip totally fails.

Chad Clark asked:

I’d treat it like a high-intensity interval or sprint day. Grappling is seriously exhausting—and I wasn’t even going very hard at all!

I’m not sure. I may look into it a bit more. There’s certainly no shortage of training facilities these days. Keep you posted.

Georgina wrote:

I find it much easier and more effective than sitting meditation.

Alan requested:

Oh boy, this could turn into an entire post. I’ll keep it short and perhaps revisit it later.

As I allude to in the original post, for civilization to flourish and progress, we need both wildness and dependability. Creativity and diligence. In fact, each person must embody both energies.

Shake off the silly parts of civilization, like “taking the safe path” or “doing what you’re told,” and start thinking bigger, crazier.

bamboosmith asked a clear-cut one:

Just one: You’re not too old. Go, now.

After ten minutes, they were warm and loose and ready to train. Every joint had been articulated through every possible angle. It was the perfect warmup. For many, it’d be the perfect workout.

Sue Moore said:

Great article! New goal for 2018 is to take the road less travelled and be more spontaneous.

How’s that going for you? Don’t wait!
