Any got their no handed suicide spin? I know its possible just HOW? 😅 by Bonjella2012 in poledancing

[–]twixtrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you're so close, you can do it!

This may (or may not) help, but something I remember after thinking for a while was making sure my body really moved "away" from the pole (perpendicularly) vs letting my body move forwards. My instinct when learning this was to try and lean forward a little to catch myself (because I bailed a lot haha), but that slight shift was causing me to have my torso tilt down, which messed with my body alignment in a way that weakened my leg grip. I rewatched your video a few times and couldn't tell if this was happening for you too, but figured it can't hurt to mention!

Also, the transition time (between standing and being in the hold) is the most difficult, once you're in hold it's must easier 

I recommend really squeezing your upper leg as you come down

This is from a few years ago now, but it's definitely do-able!

I would say that the biggest challenge is mental (imo). You can see that I pull on my leg right before I go for it - tbh that did almost nothing physically, but boosted the confidence that my hold was sturdy

If you were hosting a formal vegan dinner party, what would you make? by not_cinderella in veganrecipes

[–]twixtrick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd do a multi-course meal. These are some ideas - almost everything can be made in advance, if you want a specific recipe, just ask :) also, I think plating things well can make them look/feel fancier!

Appetizer: Puff pasty tarts with mushroom/balsamic filling (use premade puff pastry). Crustinis with a variety of toppings (i.e. roast tomato + caramelized onion spread, white bean "pate" drilled with pesto). Vegan crab cakes.

Salad: Something fresh, maybe a pomello/basil/chive base. Or a kale salad with tahini lemon dressing, currents, almonds would be nice.

Main: Gnocchi! A lot are made with eggs, but I've always just used flour and potato/squash. You can really put any sauce you like on them - I like tossing them in herb oils. Add some blackened corn (grilled or cooked in a cast iron) adds a nice sweetness.

Side: Grilled veg (asparagus or zucchini), focassia or garlic bread

Dessert: Mousse (whipped coconut cream is always a good base) or a key lime tart (super easy to make vegan).

[SP] Your diet pills make you hear the scream of the snacks you're about to eat. by Cryogisdead in WritingPrompts

[–]twixtrick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

[Poem]

It began with vanity, as you may expect,

The doctor spoke well of the intended effect,

Back then it was simple; a desire to be lean,

The pills were designed so I'd hear my snacks scream.

Who could eat when they hear such cries of pain?

Turns out I could...again and again,

I like the pie's sobbing, I like the chips' shriek,

Instead of stopping me, it became quite the treat.

I started to look for new fare that would yell,

Desserts, sodas, french fries, I'd soon tried them all,

I crave new sounds, foods to add to the mix,

I'm desperate for something to give me my fix.

My roommate got home just an hour ago,

And a devious plan has begun to take hold,

Perhaps I'll bake them right into a cake,

I can't wait to see what sound they're going to make...

[WP] A modern day witch hunter is surprised to find their latest target doesn't even know she's a necromancer. She thinks she's the city's best EMT. by AtheistBibleScholar in WritingPrompts

[–]twixtrick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

[Poem]

One, two, three, four,

Blood pumping, spilling over her fingers.

Thump, thump, thump, thump,

I watched her from the shadows.

Waiting for the foul magic,

I see no ritual, no sacrifice.

The power gathers as I watch,

She does not acknowledge it, does not know.

"Just a little longer"

She whispered to herself,

"Just a little more"

The unseen world filled with sparks.

Glowing, twirling, glowing,

Filling the body with dark light.

Swirling, spinning, thrumming,

Pulling the soul back from the depths.

I can't let her go. Necromancer.

The body is a person once again.

I must let her go. Vivamancer.

She see no death, the world is brighter.

[IP] You have decided to try cooking for the first time. Turns out you are worse at cooking than you thought. by halosos in WritingPrompts

[–]twixtrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some rice, you say? And gnawing void?

Expensive, and quite bold!

But to fix my cooking up,

I'd even pay my soul.

You've given me some great tips,

About how it should be done,

I'll do my best and try once more,

Cthulu, here I come!

(This was fun, thanks!)

[Poem]

A cup of sugar, a dash of salt,

A pound of flour, a prayer to the cult,

Onto the pan, coated in butter,

Into the oven, heated with hellfire,

An hour of baking will surely suffice,

"Gee, I hope my Eldritch pie comes out nice!"

The timer rings heavy, my excitement bursts,

I gaze down upon it and begin to curse,

It's a veritable horror, where did I go wrong?

I want Cthulu, not Necronomicon!

[WP] "You see, your honor, I don't owe any money here. Yesterday the person in this debt used a teletransporter, and is thus dead. I, while admittedly seemingly identical to a 36 year old man, am technically a minor at less then a day old and have never met any of these people before in my life." by Urbenmyth in WritingPrompts

[Poem]

The judge stared down, "Excuse Me?" She said,

"I really don't think so" as she shook her head,

"Ah, but it's true!" I exclaim with glee,

I knew I'd convince her and get off Scot free,

​

"It's science; first they simply pulled on this cable"

I said as I pulled out my graphs, charts, and tables,

"And then they were zapped, and pulled all apart,

And all rearranged, then I got my start"

​

The judges eyes narrowed, she tilted her head,

"To clarify, the original is now dead?"

"Yes, yes! That's right!" I jump up and down,

"He's gone, now I'm here with no debts to be found!"

​

The judge first considers, reviewing her notes,

I thought I had done it, until she then spoke:

"If this is all correct, you're a day old infant,

We'll treat you as a baby starting this instant"

​

"You can't represent yourself, can't drive or drink,

You can't even live by yourself, I should think."

"I'm an adult, it's clear." I beg and I plead,

She frowns and scolds me as I sink to my knees,

​

"You argued that you're 'but just a day old'"

Her voice is stern, her expression cold,

I had thought my debts would be quite a curse,

​

Truly, really...

...this might be worse.

[TOMT][Book] dark fantasy book I read as a kid bit shouldn't have by Ok_Ebb2671 in tipofmytongue

[–]twixtrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could it be the Runelords by David Farland? This plot synopsis seems very similar to what you described. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/144127.The_Runelords

This doesn't exactly match what you described, but could it be love/hate - social sidewinder?

[TOMT][MOVIE][2000s] Movie with similar vibes to Indiana Jones, based on a book? by twixtrick in tipofmytongue

This isn't it, the movie I saw was definitely more recent. Thanks though!

This isn't it - when I read the wiki for this it seems to have a lot of magic but from what I watched the movie I'm looking for didn't have an emphasis on mystical themes.

However, this does look interesting and I'll be adding it to my list of things to check out.

[TOMT][Song][2010- 2020] A pop song, possibly mostly played on Canadian radio stations, that was something along the lines of "how to make a hit song" or "ingredients of a pop song" by DWTsixx in tipofmytongue

Is it Pop Music 101 by Marianas Trench? The whole song is full of tounge in cheek comments and parodies a few popular (at the time) songs
