It’s witchcraft????????? Like I would be burned at the stake if I lived in ye olde days knowing that information?????

It’s best to have someone do this for you while you stand up and relax your muscles as best you can, but if you’re alone, a tennis ball and a flat surface will probably work. Alternatively you can lie on the edge of a bed at the pressure point. (But no really do try to find someone to do it for you)

Find the area in your spine between either the first, second, third, or fourth vertebrae. It should be sore and uncomfortable to press down on, so look for the one that’s most painful, and press down with as much pressure as you can on that area for 30 seconds.

Realize that 80% of your pain has magically disappeared and keep the info secret if you live in a small puritan town, lest you be tried for witchcraft.

This is good for tension migranes and normal migraines, but actually pretty useless for sinus migraines. It’ll help for a hot second, but quickly come back. (These are usually the migraines behind your eyes, in your ears, and behind your forehead. Sometimes it can feel like jaw pain or TMJ) for sinus migraines, behind the ear in a divot. Press down firmly and pull towards your collarbone. That’ll drain your sinuses. Also, pressing around the eye socket on the cheekbones help. There is also a little triangle up away from the eye in the eyebrow bone. Press and hold pretty hard and that’ll relieve that behind the forehead pain. Also, ear pulling is great to help move sinuses around.

Don’t forget the temples too! Press firmly and hold. Open and close your jaw while holding your temples. It’ll feel weird, but it’ll help with jaw pain. It’ll work a similar way if you hold the jaw joint under your cheekbone.

And of course, the magnum opus

I’ve done a lot of thinking on this, so let’s start with its earlier evolution, Wimpod.

Asides from obvious visual similarities, Wimpod (and Golisopod) share a lot of similarities with Guzma. I personally played Pokemon Sun and I feel this entry fits best, so I’m going to use the Rotom Dex entry from Sun:

 “This Pokémon is a coward. As it desperately dashes off, the flailing of its many legs leaves a sparkling clean path in its wake”

Wimpod also has the ability Wimp Out, which turns into Emergency Exit once it evolves. Both have the exact same concept, once the HP reaches approx. half, the Pokemon flees from battle. 

This is similar to how Guzma fled from his home, and from the Kahunas in the Island Challenge (as said in the anime).

However, as Wimpod grows into Golisopod, it does become much stronger. This represents Guzmas growth as a trainer and as a person, hardening his own internal shell. The visual appearance of the Pokemon shows this as well, as you can easily see the terror in the Wimpods eyes and the lack of emotion in the Golisopods. The difference in size is also quite obvious.

Now let’s take the Rotom Dex entry from Ultra Sun for Golisopod:

“The shell covering its body is as hard as diamond. This Pokémon will do anything it takes to win”

Anything it takes to win. Guzma’s character is one that would also do anything it takes to win. He grew too old to become a trial captain so he formed a whole gang of teenagers for fucks sake. This is even shown in a quote from the Sun/Moon games

“The hated boss who beats you down, and beats you down, and never lets up.“

Never lets up. Will do anything it takes to win.

idk why this came to mind but here we go

Grunts:

When you run away from home, the first thing you think of isn’t “lemme pack the xbox real quick”. The grunts if anything, have handhelds, anything ranging from a gameboy to a scrappy old 2011 3DS with scuffs and maybe a dodgy button or control stick here or there, couple of dead pixels, and no money to get it repaired. MAYBE an old Wii or Gamecube, cause what kid is gonna fuck off and NOT take their Gamecube? Mario sunshine is FIRE (so yeah, theres probably a Gamecube somewhere in the mansion but it’s not in use)

Team Skull’s Grunts are notorious for vandalizing property and stealing shit that don’t belong to them, so any local game stores are reluctant to let them in.

Since Plumeria is such a pushover to her little siblings, Since Plumeria is so nice, she tucks in her skull medallion and lets her hair down to stuff it in a bandanna so that the store owners let her in, and she dons her Nice Face™ to go get games for the grunts once they give her the money, though this is a privilege, so if they piss her off, they get cut off from their supply.

There’s one old, battered Xbox 360 stashed in the closet. No faceplate, gotta use a pen or something to turn it on and the side has a crack covering the whole area after one of Guzma’s outbursts. The stupid thing overheats in the summer so its out of use for most of the year when it’s too hot. The only thing it’s used for anymore is Minecraft. The old 360 version doesnt update anymore, but that don’t mean there aint a couple worlds on there. The grunts on their off time (which is like, most days) will get out the 360 and boot up minecraft. That’s the one world that Guzma isn’t allowed in. He’s got his own.

(woah look at that fuckin segway)

Guzma:

Guzma’s Minecraft world is OLD, like… OLD bitch. Shits seen a couple birthdays. Plumeria had got the console from some guy on the street, giving shit away that he didnt need, basically a yard sale but everything was free. A take it if you want it and it’s yours kinda deal. Came with a couple controllers and a small group of games.

Guz’s world is a fuckin hot mess. Holes everywhere, he’s crap at building, looks like a 12 year old made everything. You bet your ass that he went into creative one time and just filled a chest full of TNT once he found out it existed. Grunts can join the game, sure, but the amount of small starter houses lying around that got blown up because they got pranked by the boss and fell victim to his stash of TNT is uncountable. Plumeria’s got a house too in that world, just like in the grunts’ one, but she’s hardly on the game since she has other things she prefers to do more often. Despite that, if Guzma dares TOUCH her fucking house she will pay him back double, be it in the game or in person. Guzma is the only one who would dare test her, so she doesn’t need to worry about the grunts messing with her stuff.

He doesn’t play FPS shooters anymore, because the other games that came with the xbox were Halo games. Those halo games are why theres a massive fuck off crack and no faceplate on the console. Also one time one of the original controllers went out the window, so there was a lot of 1 player gaming until they could afford another as a replacement. Now Guzma sticks to games he can either win or just fuck about in.

The Wii U in the mansion Guzma picked up for cheap at some yard sale (probably because the owner was thinking “what the fuck is the boss of Team Skull doing in my front yard please get off my property here take it please dont smash in my windows”). Needless to say, that was probably the biggest score of pretty much that whole year. I mean, if your first reaction to a 6′5, intimidating gang boss in your yard isn’t “just fucking take the console” or “hot” then your brain probably aint wired right. Guzma is the undisputed king of Mario Kart. He’s always the one with the gamepad because fuck everyone else. He gets to spy everyone’s items and thats it. No fucker else.

Plumeria usually nudges the grunts to lay off if they constantly place ahead of the boss, mostly for everyone’s sake, but mostly for that of the fucking money pot. she aint spending money on a new Wii U gamepad. She’s surprised the original one has lasted this long.

Plumeria:

Has over 1000 hours in animal crossing on DS. She also plays that brain training game that every mom owned back in like 2006. She plays casual games to keep sane. I mean, if she didn’t, she’d have blown this house up and moved to Kanto by now.

She also has Nintendogs, which she at one point found out that she had that in common with one of the girl grunts and so every week without fail, the two of them get together and give each other gifts and play with their dogs together.

(Sidenote: would nintendogs be pokemon dogs? Lillipup & friends, Poochyena & friends; Rockruff & friends, etc.)

great job redbubble
