"is It Possible For A [thing] Girl And A [different Thing] Boy To Be In A Relationship? 🥺" I'll Stop

I was talking with my housemate about how to be more physically active if you’re not used to it at all because everywhere you’re told to start a training routine where you push yourself a little every day, and while that may seem easy for some people it can be really fucking daunting if you start from zero.

As someone who comes from a very physically active family that doesn’t exercise just for the sake of exercising but do things like walk to the grocery store and bike to work, here’s my advice that has always worked for me:

Go super duper easy on yourself.

If you want to walk more start by walking for 3 or 5 minutes. The shortest possible walk you feel you’re capable of. A trip around the block or across the yard. You don’t need to sweat or get your blood pumping. Just a short stroll. The hardest part is to convince yourself to set aside 5 minutes every day to go on this short walk but nothing else about it should be hard. Do it every day and one day you’ll realize that you don’t want to go home just yet. It’s very important that you don’t think “I want to pressure myself to walk further” but rather “I haven’t spent all my walking energy yet. I have more walk in me” and only then do you lengthen the walk. I repeat, at no point should it be exhausting or difficult because even when it feels easy your body will be building muscle and stamina and it will eventually feel too easy and you’ll naturally want to crank it back up to easy again.

If you’re not used to being physically active it might not make a ton of sense when I say that you’ll have more walking energy left but trust me, you’ll get it when you get there.

I grew up with going on evening walks with my parents and passed that on to other housemates who didn’t get it at first but are now going on walks long after they moved somewhere else. Because once you get the hang of it you’ll realize how calming it is on the brain to move the body even if the body isn’t exhausted afterwards.

And it of course helps to entertain yourself especially in the beginning. My housemate started out listening to audiobooks and podcasts but eventually realized Pokémon Go was the best motivator. Whatever you feel like you want to do on your 5 minute easy stroll.

i am becoming less normal by the day (kissy face emoji

unlucky that everyone else isnt also doingt this. its so fun we should all just be freaks in each others company. but no,,,, i have to know about the weather and local news and sport ball.

art posts deleted. art sideblog deleted. this is now a funnypost personal account. the torment nexus will not win today.

Goodbye Art Tumblrs

i am deleting all of my art here forever. you dont get any more until never, probably. Patreon if you want it. Might start posting stuff there. not even tier-locked probably. until they start doing AI shit too. Hell world torment nexus nightmare realm. we are in the darkest timeline.

my countermeasures probably won't affect reblogs, so i ask of you. if you have reblogged my art: delete it and reblog this instead. I am dead serious i will be extremely upset if my shit gets scraped enough to make even a semi-accurate model of my art.

Pinned 2024

accidentally deleted my old pinned while deleting all of my art due to the AI bullshit on 2/27/2024.

Hi, I'm Smoothie. I don't know what I'm going to do with this blog. However, do not follow me if you are a minor. I'm not gonna be filtering myself anymore. If i see you following me and you're a minor, you will be blocked.

I am an artist, but you're going to have to take my word on that due to tumblr's AI bullshit.

I use they/them, subject to update later maybe idk. yadda yadda fuck off terfs. i block people liberally.

i dont really make new years resolutions since everything i want to do i just do or it takes more than a year. years of being a student makes me feel like this is really the halfway point rather than the start of a new year. Oh well.

i think this year i want to transform my art style from the ground up. It's changed a whole lot from last year, but I didn't do much foundational stuff for it. It's just better anatomy and actually using lighting that isn't one layer of poorly thought out cell shading.

I'm not even an artist as my main thing. I just do it for fun. But I think it's better to make goals for fun things than weigh yourself down with big consequence-heavy resolutions.

Might make a side blog for just my art this year. also organize my stuff.

New profile picture coming either when i cant stand the sight of the current one or on my birthday, whichever comes first.

And with your help we can make it 100%.

imo it makes waaayyyyy more sense if cold days were really long with lots of sunlight and if hot summer days ended at 5pm and we had long summer nights is the Earth stupid or something?

the algorithm is being unkind today i keep having to exorcise it

can axolotls survive in a gallon bucket of sprite

Yeah they can but you really shouldn't.
