I’m a boxer and sometimes you guys get close with things, but you’re never quite there.
1. After a match, weather the fighter wins or loses, they will be tired. They will be very tired and they will be in pain and the next day? Don’t even get me started on how sore they’re gonna be.
2. Boxing takes A LOT of training. When I’m not training for a fight I spend about 7 or 8 hours a week training, but when I am training? It’s closer to 3 hours a day, 3×7 is 21, so give or take 21 hours training for a fight.
3. Unless they are a professional, which isn’t all glamor and riches like you see on Floyd Maywhethers instagram, they have to wear trunks and a tank top in the ring. And headgear.
4. When you’re in a match, you can hear people yelling for you. But you don’t see them. All of your attention is on your opponent and there is no time to sneak a smirk and your lover.
5. Boxers have cut men. Those fics you read about after the fight, their wrists are cut up and bruised? That DOESN’T happen. Fists are wrapped with gauze, and then with tape. What you can get though, what many boxers get, are broken thumbs or the boxers fracture. Write about that.
6. This is a lil something for all of you whumpy writers, something I would expect to see more of: Weight Cut. The boxer is tired and weak from lack of nutrition, the training camp took it’s toll on the boxers body. But the weight cut? (Brief breakdown of water weight cut: fighter sits in hot bath water or sauna and sweats a lot. if you want to see how bad it can get, look up cyborgs weight cut on youtube.) The boxer is weak at the knees, their lips are dry and cracked, they can barely stand upright to get on the scale.
I’m just doing my part here. Thank you for your time.
Objectively kind of a bummer that if you drown your soul belongs to the water for all eternity as a wet ghost but this is possibly preferable to an afterlife you have no guarantee of, because who knows where you go if you die on land but if you die at sea you know exactly what to expect. Fish

OMG I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER OF MY FAVORITE SAIINO FANFIC
I am screeching so much Celandine By: InsanitySilver I am crying over this fact already
I have never thought about this at all. The fic is one shot and It is very satisfying to read because mostly I don’t ever feel enough with one-shots. The time takes place during Inojin’s Academy days. Sai’s POV, Sai and his interaction with other Yamanaka Clan’s members. Sai and Inojin, All other canon pairs and Saiino moments. It also have some of Ino-Shika-Chou formation. Canon Verse. Lovely fic overall!
“I hope no great sorrow ever will come to you, Anne,” said Gilbert, who could not connect the idea of sorrow with the vivid, joyous creature beside him, unwitting that those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths, and that the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply.
and
“She will love deeply—she will suffer terribly—she will have glorious moments to compensate.” (Emily of New Moon)
reblog if you want to do the most diabolical, down horrendous, back breaking things to him.
or if you like cake.
The thing about me and Dostoevsky books is that everytime I read (or start rereading) one, I start wanting to read everything he has ever written... all at once.
If that's not a sign of severe mental instability what is?
