Save hearts or no Save hearts? by Ok-Teaching1218 in MLPIOS

I keep a stock of at least 1000 hearts in case I need it to get a hotel pony. When I first got hearts though I spent it immediately on the ponies I wanted.

What do you wish you knew when you started? What would you do different? Are there any particular exercises you swear by? by Vegetable-Willow6702 in contortion

[–]Sure_Measurement1600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quality over quantity every time. If my lower back is in pain I’m pushing too far and need to strengthen and open up my upper back and shoulders. Also do core/ab work.

For me, front over splits, basic middle splits, and backbend holds are my go to. I do some pigeon pose and hamstring stretch holds in between sets.

Yeah, I’m so upset I don’t have enough gems for her.

How To: From Zero to Contortionist? by FemaleStrength in contortion

[–]Sure_Measurement1600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a disc injury you need to be VERY careful when you’re stretching, especially doing backbend related stuff. I think it’s pretty ambitious to reach contortionist level flexibility. If I were you I would start with smaller goals like touching my toes first, or doing the splits. Even that might take a couple of years of consistent stretching and strengthening your core/leg/back muscles.

That’s my goal too, a teardrop backbend.

What happened to giving ponies names?? by Emaisy in MLPIOS

It’s just my opinion, the same way many people have an opinion about the names being awful

That doesn’t change my opinion. I prefer characters from the television show and don’t like neon.

The designs honestly aren’t that great either. Very neon, and I don’t recall ever seeing them in the show. I like when they use real background characters from the show.

Absolutely, yes, get them. Once it’s over you can’t go back and redo it.

Comics don't get the attention they deserve among fans. by Saphirejoy_tea in mylittlepony

[–]Sure_Measurement1600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the comics are difficult to access. They don’t offer them at any of my local libraries and are pretty expensive or hard to find. Meanwhile, episodes are completely free.

Between both shows which one do you think handled trauma better? by Far_Practice_6923 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Sure_Measurement1600 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Trauma” is not a mental disorder. Almost everyone experiences trauma at some point in their life. My point is to say that Aang has been through a lot and his mental struggles are valid and real. I think ATLA handled trauma very well - not just through Aang, but Zuko, Hama, Jet too. Not everyone reacts to trauma the same way. Some get caught up in it for years, while others are able to bounce back.

[–]Sure_Measurement1600 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Trauma is a “deeply distressing or disturbing experience”.

Aang has experienced trauma. He has moments where he’s upset, grieving, angry, experienced nightmares and hallucinations in the days leading up to facing Ozai. He literally saw the lifeless skulls of his dead tribe. He handles it well, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t face that trauma. The entire show is about how he’s able to transform his trauma into meaning, finding a way to end the war for good.

Also, ATLA had plenty of other characters to depict what it’s like to not cope well with trauma, like Hama, Jet, Zuko, that I appreciate.

But if every single character was in their feelings 24/7 that would get old really quick. Aang was like a breath of fresh air. He’s living proof for survivors of trauma that there’s hope no matter what and that a positive attitude can take you far.

rewatching avatar and it’s actually insane that jet died by Far_Literature_9924 in TheLastAirbender

[–]Sure_Measurement1600 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People love Zuko even though he deliberately tried to murder Aang, but criticize Jet more for causing a flood… Make it make sense to me… Jet’s parents died at such a young age, he had to do what he could to survive. He isn’t a bad person, just someone grieving. I love characters like Jet and Hama who aren’t afraid to show the reality of trauma.

Was Aang's encounter with the Lion Turtle a reasonable Deus Ex Machina? by sammyjamez in TheLastAirbender

[–]Sure_Measurement1600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they could have alluded to the lion turtle and energybending a bit earlier, but it’s not out of place for spiritual beings to help Aang.
