not my meme but you all do know about this right? It feels like it’s getting buried right now and I feel like its proponents are trying to take advantage of that.
This is the first thing you can see on the project2025.org website
Reminder also that their definition of “radical left” is primarily people who are accepting of gender identity, desire any tightening of even one gun regulation, want to combat police corruption in any way, and don’t want a border wall.
Hey, it would be a SHAME if I were to REBLOG THIS and let MORE PEOPLE see it!
Because this is the second half of the story, this impression will contain spoilers. If you want my general impressions, please read my post about Volume 1!
The second and final volume of this series follows the story-line from volume 1. Japan does this a lot, but these volumes are better thought of as the first and second half of the same story. Now that Bertine is secure in her position, she continues to do business, make profits, and plot the downfall of her home country’s current monarchy, with the help of Cecilio and her friends from the Empire.
This book also includes Bertine successfully achieving her dream of building a hotel, and setting up the infrastructure for people to travel and experience the Federation for themselves. I really enjoyed these kind of “country-building” projects, and I’m glad that the series takes this into account.
I won’t go into specifics as to how the book ends, but I was looking forward to seeing how the romance between Bertine and Cecilio develops from the first book. It was obvious that Cecilio was in love with her, but I wanted to see more adorable interactions. While the rest of the book was quite engaging, I have to say that it was a little disappointing from that angle. For plot reasons, their relationship isn’t addressed until the end, so readers don’t get much time to read about their actual relationship.
Neither of the main couple are particularly romantic, so I do have to admit that it’s pretty realistic how they get together. At the very least, there is a quite funny side story of their romantic picnic devolving into chaos when an unexpected visitor shows up (LOL).
Overall, I really enjoyed this series, and it was refreshing to see a female-centered series that doesn’t overly focus on the romantic drama.
I’m definitely interested in more of Syuu’s books, and luckily, two of their book series were just recently licensed, Victoria of Many Faces by Yen Press, and Soup Forest by Cross Infinite World.
Beginning to think some of you don’t actually know what a crackship is
A crackship is not looking at two characters who interact a lot and have an established dynamic and going ‘haha what if they kissed that’d be so funny’. No no. A crackship is like. 'Main character/shopkeep who only has two lines’. It’s 'big bad/that exact same shopkeep’. It’s 'Frodo Baggins/Shadow the Hedgehog’. If it does not boggle the mind it’s not really a crackship.
OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-
there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀
Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.
What’s the focus?
1. Keep the flexibility in your spine
2. Stretch the muscles in the front
3. Strengthen the muscle in the back
Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen
Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day
The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down
Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there
Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards
If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.
Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up
There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving
Tips:
Do the best you can
If it hurts stop
Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises
NOTE: I can do most of these with the cerebral palsy. In fact, a lot of these little exercises are automatically part of my physical therapy. My problem is I already have hyperlordosis, spine arthritis, and cervicogenic headache. These have helped me at least try to have a posture.
Shun: Is there something you would like to say, Yuki?
Yuki: Oh, there are SEVERAL things I would like to say.
Shun: Can I bother you for a second?
Yamagami: You’re always bothering me, but go ahead.
Daigo: We should be partners.
Shun: You mean like, partners in crime?
Daigo: Yeah… that’s precisely what I meant.
Daigo: You’re overthinking this.
Shun: You don’t know the appropriate level of thinking, Daigo. What if I’m underthinking?
Yuki: So… who’s the big spoon and who’s the little spoon?
Shun: We’re chopsticks!
Yuki: Well… that’s cute!
Yuki: Does that mean you two snuggle together perfectly?
Daigo: No, it means that if you take the other away, the only thing the other is good for is stabbing.
Shun: I asked Yuki out.
Shun’s classmate: Oh, I’m sorry.
Shun: Why?
Shun’s classmate: Well, I assume she said no.
Shun: No, she said yes.
Shun’s classmate: Really? Then I’m sorry for her.
*playing twister*
Yuki: Right hand red.
Daigo: *ends up on top of Shun*
Shun: You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?
Yuki: I stopped spinning like 15 minutes ago. Honestly, I’m surprised you didn’t notice.
Daigo: *yawns*
Shun: Yeah, being that pretty must be tiring.
Daigo: Then you must be exhausted.
Yuki: Will you two shut up? Some of us are lonely.
Daigo: I’ve never asked someone out. How do you even do it?
Yuki: Oh, what I do is, I look them up and down and I say: “Hey… how you doin’?”
Shun, scoffing: Oh, please.
Yuki, to Shun: Hey, how you doin’?
Shun:
Shun: *giggles and blushes*
Shun: *pretending to joke* So when are you going to go out with me?
Daigo: I don’t know. When are you going to ask me to?
Yuki: And you just ran away?!
Shun: I didn’t expect him to flirt back!
Daigo: Hey I just got a pet snake. What should I name him?
Shun: A pet WHAT?!
Yuki: William Snakespeare.
Shun: There’s no way he like me back.
Yuki: Daigo would throw himself in front of a moving car for you.
Shun: Daigo would throw himself in front of a moving car for fun.
Shun: I find it very unseemly of Daigo to start dating again. Isn’t the customary period of mourning 10 years?
Yuki: Die. Let’s find out.
(THIS ONE IS OUT OF LEFT FIELD)
Shun: Hey, did you know as a kid I accidentally ate paper?
Yuki: I feel like we’ve all done that at least once.
Daigo: I ate it too-
Yuki: See?
Daigo:-On purpose…
Shun & Yuki: …What?
Shun: Well, remember when Yuki made a romantic dinner for me?
Daigo: Shun, she microwaved you a pizza.
Amakasu: Please be Daigo’s partner.
Shun: Can I decline?
Daigo: I’ve already burnt the receipt. No take backsies.
I know Shun’s the comedic relief but Daigo literally has zero braincells. There’s only one braincell between the three of them and Yuki and Shun shares it most of the time. Shun is 99% Daigo’s impulse control, I love their dynamic. Also, I like to think that Yuki is a lil bit sassy, I know the ’shi-ne’ (go die, or fuck off) text is a bit too far in their line of work but that’s just so millenial-gen z humor I can’t blame her.
this is going to be difficult -> i am capable of doing difficult things -> i have done everything prior to this moment -> this difficulty will soon be proof of capability
Wait is this true?? We’ve just been actively lied to by anatomical diagrams this whole time?
this is true of pretty much all internal anatomy, because the real situation is sort of like if you stuffed a bunch of water balloons of different shapes, connected by tubes, into a bag, itd be really hard to tell whats going on! so you make things more orderly when you represent them, and the connections and lengths and stuff are correct. like the former image is what you get if you cut it out of someone’s body and arrange it neatly (and also, if their system wasnt aberrant somehow, but most people’s bodies are aberrant somehow. so what they show you is more of like an average of everyone’s weird aberrations)
My actual answer is either the Spring and Ragnarok arcs, but the Tenraisai arc is pretty much my favorite in the post-loop for all the development that the Chinese team gets after all that we learned in Summer. (and. yknow. one-sided fengfuu)
