l'amore trova una via

so you will love the world differently for having loved someone else. you will love a certain cereal or pokemon because of your brother. you will hear your favorite band's song playing in a random store and the love of it will make the whole world a little more golden. you will read a poem so many times the words become their own creatures. you will find you cannot listen to certain music without thinking of your favorite show.

#1. You should be able to lay down on the floor (face down or back) and be able to get up without your hands. If you can't? Spend a little bit every day just doing that, laying on the floor and getting up again no hands style, then laying down again (you'd be surprised how fast it wears you out after a few times)

#2. You should be able to get up out of a chair without using your hands or grabbing on to anything. Can't? Fucking start training mother fucker! Just a few uppies every day could save your damn life when you get older!

#3. You should be able to turn your neck to the side without twisting your upper body in the same direction, you should be able to turn your head freely without moving your shoulders, chest or torso! Start looking up loosy goosy neck exercises! It makes such a HUGE difference!

#4. You should be able to motherfucking stand on one foot and keep your balance for longer then 15 seconds. Haha sounds easy right? Thats what I thought when I tried after watching that vid, i was horrified to find how hard it was! I started doing "one leggy style" standing any chance I got, when I'm in line somewhere, when I'm watching a video... just do a few rounds of 10 seconds on each leg for like 5 min every day!

You get older and you think you still have all the same limberness as you did when you were 8, but whens the last fucking time you ran around and played like an 8 year old? You loose that flexibility so subtlety and then one day when you need it? BAM ITS GONE

oh they wanna kiss her so bad 🥺

Pairing: Yelena Belova/Kate Bishop

Chapter Rating: Teen

Chapter Words: 4,325

Summary:

It's easy to stalk Kate Bishop, vampire hunter, no The Slayer. It would be sad if it weren't also so lacking in action. Three stores and two churches and now she's heading back to her house. Then Kate surprises her by speaking in a low voice, like she's speaking to herself. "Following me now, Yelena Belova?"

"Now?" She says, a prod to her lack of general self-awareness, hoping down from the balcony she was standing on and landing on her feet.

The pair continue heading toward Kate's house. "It's dangerous for a vampire to do that in this city." A stray hand hovers at the stake in a hidden holster at her side. "Or anywhere."

A Buffy AU

Preview:

Valentina continues like Yelena hasn't spoken. "What are you wearing? I mean, I knew your life was kind of in the dumps since, well, you know. Dead sister, the curse, blah blah blah. I don't need to remind you of all that!"she chuckles blithely, "But seriously? Garage-chic?" She scoffs and shoves her hands into her pockets, wondering what has drawn Valentina out here. Surely not a conversation like this. "What do you want this time?" "Want? Well!" If Valentina is annoyed, she doesn't sound like it, even as she gives a sharp tsk with her tongue at Yelena's rudeness. "I should think that's obvious, right?" Yelena continues to stare ahead as she walks at a relatively brisk pace. "Please, spell it out to me." "Just the same offer I gave to your friend, John Walker! Complete control over your territory. Join me, and I'll even see about lifting that little curse."
