Tense Man Needs To Relax

whumptober this, kinktober that, the real halloween thing to do is watch Hocus Pocus (1993) and make a tma au out of it (and a fic)

Yeah, shin splints are awful. Usually what I do is I make sure to stretch my calfs and shins really well (both before and after running), and either use ice or a heating pad/hot water to help the pain. You might also try using some pain medicine like Advil or Tylenol to decrease inflammation.

Also, to prevent shin splints from happening again in the future, you might look into getting shoe inserts (or even new shoes entirely) that accommodate your arches and absorb some of the impact. A couple of years ago, I was having the problem where my arches were too flat and I had been relying too much on the insides of my calfs (which, ow) and shoe inserts helped correct my balance and overall help keep the pain from coming back.

Anyway, I hope this helps. :)

Hello hello my wonderful fellow fives, I was wondering if anybody has any tips or advice on how to deal with shin splints (? I think ? I’m sort of dying of pain right now haha)

Any advice would be helpful ! So thank you in advance !

oh it’s you, that i lie with

Love this with all my heart!!

❤️🧡💛Happy Pride Month💚💙💜

I wanted to draw the canon LGBTQA+ zr characters and did so!

Five, Jack and Eugene, Maxine and Paula, and Louise! If there’s any I’ve forgotten about I’m sorry and I am only up to season 4 so there might be people I’ve not met yet.

First time drawing Louise Bailey and quite frankly I really enjoyed drawing her 💕

Five is there because they are cannonly whatever the hell you want them to be!

Bonus:

Samual “I don’t know what my sexuality is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask” Yao

My favourite headcanon is that Sam’s sexuality is ’???’ Because he almost confesses to Five several times even though Five’s sexuality or gender could literally be anything.

HAPPY READING, HORROR FANS!

Unfortunately, Runner Five has passed away. Cause of death: midwestern weather is frickin rude and decided to make it 90 degrees today.

Panic

During and after Season 3, Five experiences terrible panic attacks. They’re worse at night, when she can’t run the thoughts away. Sometimes Sam can get her to calm down, but sometimes all he can do is hold her and talk softly until it runs it’s course.

Me: I AM 😤 GOING TO 💪🏻 HAVE A 😡 NORMAL DAY🤜🏻💥

The chaos gods that run my life:

23!

23: Getting Sick (Part 2)

Sam eventually forces them to go to bed and gives the fool some soup.
