I Get Different Physical Sensations - Sometimes It's Tightness In My Chest And Like A Piercing Pain,

Amazing! Thank you ^^

Hi! I just wanted to ask if the blanket permission for remixes in your ao3 profile also includes permission for podfics?

Yes, absolutely! I should probably make that clear on my AO3 profile lol.

Thank you!!! I'm so excited for this!

I feel like with your pointers I can actually build an exercise routine for once :D

I'll definitely be posting what exercises I end up doing with the finished pod. Who knows, maybe I'll inspire some listeners to follow along.

So, I want to podfic your Gym101 fanfic (this is me asking your permission to do it) for a VoiceTeam challenge, but I also want to get swole for Dash this 2025.

Here's my idea: I read your fic while doing exercises. I will need to experiment a bit to find out which exercises I can do while recording. So far I was thinking:

squats - obviously following Valerie's instructions, I don't have a weight bar though

active bar hang

plank - I'll see how much can I actually record doing that...

maybe some stretches for when I get too out of breath

I'd love any suggestions and pointers for exercises I can do while podficing. Guide me

PS: Your presence alone made me want to redo my pull-ups new years resolution 💪💪💪

Oh that's an awesome idea. I'm all for it. And now I'll need to write another chapter for it lmao!

As far as programming goes, I think anything that you can do that you can stick to are the best. Like for me, I fucking hate doing most stereotypical core exercises like planks and crunches and those 10 minute ab videos, so I've been mixing abs and core into my other weightlifting exercises instead of having it as its own dedicated thing.

But if you wanted some more concrete pointers, I would say in general like outside of just recording for the podfic, building a program around hitting every major muscle is going to be key for preventing muscle imbalances, and thus compound exercises are going to be your friend. Squats are a great one because they hit glutes, quads, and hamstrings, which are three major muscle groups on the lower body. And to hit calves, you can superset them with calf raises or something. Bada-bing-bada-boom, with 2 exercises you've pretty much got your lower body taken care of.

For upper body, things like push ups hit the chest, biceps, and triceps. Since you mentioned you have a bar, doing active bar hangs, scapular pulls, and negatives (all progressions of the pull-up) hit a bunch of muscles in the back, plus you're engaging your core for stabilization. If you have any heavy objects laying around your house, you can do farmers walks around a room which are another awesome thing for core work and all around general body strength (hits a ton of muscles all over the upper and lower body, and holding the heavy objects at different heights can engage more of the shoulders too).

Even though I'm in my weightlifting era rn, I'm a huge fan of calisthenics in general and do a lot of them for like functional strength and mobility. Definitely recommend you look into that if you're tryna workout from home this year!

Oh, and make sure you warm up before you exercise! There are lots of great dynamic stretching vids on Youtube.

Have fun and keep me updated on how it all goes!

Sam is characterized as a very strong environmentalist. And as a part of this, they have her follow a ridiculous made up dietary restriction: “ultra-recyclo-vegetarianism”

Which sounds like it’s meant to be all extreme, right? Something ridiculously strict.

Except that it just… isn’t??

For the most part it’s basically just the same as vegetarianism, and in the edge cases, it’s actually less restrictive than being vegetarian.

Because the rule is “don’t eat anything with a face” and for the most part, only animals are gonna have faces. I guess you could make the argument that like something like a venus fly trap has a face, but I don’t think any commonly eaten plants would count as having one unless you really stretch the definition. And unless animal products like milk are grouped in with the animal they’re from, they’re all gonna be permitted too because none of them have faces. So it’s unlikely to meaningfully ban anything that wasn’t already covered by vegetarianism.

But then on the animal side of things, it leaves some allowances that baseline vegetarianism doesn’t. Sure, most animals have faces, but not all, and some of the faceless ones are occasionally eaten (e.g. jellyfish). Heck, depending on how it defines what counts as a face, some decently common food animals like oysters could be permitted.

…though of course this assumes there aren’t other rules beyond that part (e.g. if there’s something about using “scrap” bits to justify including “recycle” in the name)

Upcoming Tumblr Holiday (It's Gonna be May)

We just had a tumblr holiday, but the next one is fast approaching on April 30th.

Just like for all our tumblr holidays, (you can find a list of all tumblr holidays we celebrate on Comment Exchange here), the rule, that you have to proof that you commented on another fanwork before submitting one, is suspended for as long as it's the date of the tumblr holiday anywhere in the world.

Summary:

What if Danny learned about duplication the hard way instead of through Vlad?

Thanks DP_Marvel94 for letting me do this and writing the fic!

Cover art by me :D

Chapter 4 of Double Discovery (by @dp-marvel94) podfic is up!

I had so much fun recording it :D

I haven’t gone into it much before but I’m honestly so attached to the idea of Danny having a heart condition

It’s asymptomatic under most circumstances because his naturally low heart rate means that his heart isn’t under any real strain

But like?? Vlad died of ectoplasm poisoning, Danny died of electrocution

Vlad got ecto-acne for years and Danny thought he was fine but actually he has a heart condition that would’ve been fatal without treatment under most other circumstances <3

I just like it

Thanks for tagging me, Tyler :)

I have something round near my collarbone. I can move it around under my skin. Idk what it is, might be some lymphatic node or something like that.

First time i noticed it I kinda freaked. And then we tried to remove it surgically. But the doctors must have just removed a piece of fat instead, because it's still in there XD
