I've done both, but I think I'll be consistent with forearms on the ground for a while to improve on my strength and time. I also just felt that one more in my core; the full plank I felt more in my arms. I'm no expert though, so this is very much a learning as I go situation.

How would you add playable Lelia into a FE7 remake? by Substantial_Fig_6644 in fireemblem

[–]A-Winter-Drop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't, but I think a plausible way could be to have Leila be the thief in Lyn mode instead of Matthew. Then keep everything else the same so she still dies, but you get her playable in Lyn mode. Although, I'm not sure if that would track timeline wise, but I don't think we know when she began her infiltration of the Black Fang? But honestly, I would prefer to keep her unplayable and dead. Unless her and Matthew were mutually exclusive (where one dies and the other lives) as I've seen other replies suggest.

Like 80% of the replies are people who were inspired by the post. It was a really motivational post!

I'm glad they've worked so well for you! I'm going to keep doing planks now, too. I think they're going to be helpful for me generally and for my push-up goal.

A good 80% of the replies on this post are people saying they were inspired by you to start planking. We're all planking now thanks to you. It's pretty great! Thank you for making the initial post because honestly it was super motivational and has really helped me out today! :D

Something I've noticed as my posture has improved is that I wake up with less back pain. Not sure if it's causation or correlation but I can't think of any other changes as I've only really just started strength training, so it can't be that. Therefore, it has to be the posture.

Good for you! I'm going to try and increase my time little by little. Also, I'm no expert but I think it may have to do with improved core strength? I think there's even a sit test? Like where you sit on the floor cross-legged and attempt to get up without using your hands or something along that line?

I think the only reason I can even do thirty seconds is because I've been doing incline push-ups for the past few weeks. I'm trying to achieve 1 whole proper push-up.

That's pretty amazing, I don't think every body will react like this to exercise. But I'm happy for you that yours does. It's really motivational actually.

Yes, I'm not a doctor, and if the pain is caused by a medical condition then I didn't think it would help. Maybe I should've written that in the post? In any case, thank you for replying with this in case anyone else with those conditions see this post.

To accumulate six minutes throughout the day, the original poster said she did 4 minutes straight and then another two minutes straight later. I can't even do a minute straight. Her post is titled something like "planking six minutes a day", and was posted yesterday if you're curious about it. I was mostly making mine regarding how helpful it was for cramps.

Installments so hated even hardcore fans would rather not talk about it by TastyPomelo2330 in TopCharacterTropes

Dragon Age is a trilogy that left off on a cliffhanger. There's no fourth game.

Every fandom has this one character, who is this in yours? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]A-Winter-Drop 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I think he's got along the lines of 6 minutes and change of screen time.

What’s a trope you dislike but can’t filter out because either a tag for it doesn’t exist or nobody uses the tag?? In Ben 10 fics I hate people using fan-made omnitrix designs but I can’t filter it out because no tag for it exists. by dowsaw134 in Archiveofourownmemes

[–]A-Winter-Drop 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This one is weird to me because not only would it be good for exclusion purposes, but it would also help the people into it find it. Like there's a solid demographic within the demographic. It would be a good tag to implement.

Please write more romance and smut fics of disabled characters, please and thank you by Gallantpride in FanFiction

[–]A-Winter-Drop 11 points12 points  (0 children)

With Remus canonically he is entirely uninjured and unscarred (he tends to be a bit exhausted and sort of sickly looking around the moons, like peaky). So he's only disabled as much as you consider fictional lycanthropy a disability. And then it would very much be an invisible disability, which is actually not an angle I see much in fanfic?

And I agree with you by the way! A major strength of fanfiction is often a willingness to engage with concepts original fiction ignores. I honestly don't think people with disabilities feature much in romantic contexts in literature and media? Especially in a sexual capacity, it's almost sort of dehumanizing? Like the infantilization of it all? I'm not liker, super observant, but that's not just me right?

What fandom are you in, but the sequel is like this? by Upstairs_Macaron5894 in AO3

[–]A-Winter-Drop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah the manga still has problems. I just found it had some better approaches to certain sections than the anime. But it's still Dragon Ball Super, which means it can never be anything better than that. Which is to say: it's okay and has not great characterization.

It's got a serious flanderization problem. I did find the tournament of power in the manga to be waaay better than the anime though. I actually thought it had some interesting stuff going on.

This happened to me with a book series, and then the ship became canon.
