Genuinely love how many thicc jacked girls there are at my gym.
Like yeah, you've got your garden-variety gym bros and your super skinny cardio bunnies like every gym does. But I'm also seeing a bunch of women with thunder thighs and soft bellies who are lifting fucking HEAVY and I am like FUCK YEAH SISTER every time we swap machines with a wordless nod to each other.
These are not women who are trying to fit into a size 2. These are women whose glutes are powerful enough to leg press god and who will absolutely have a cookie later. And I'm fucking here for it.
So, here is a sketch of a scene from the story about how Lacedrace and Sanya met. As well as some lengthy words on suggested topics C:
So, Sanya initially only knew Lacedrace, whom he met, not entirely by chance, on some planet he was stationed as a part of the Imperial Guard regiment.
Well, he met a very nice young human lady called Hope, at least, who would have guessed she would turn out to be a daemon. She made his life definitely less miserable too with fun stories and just being an empathetic being, not threatening to shoot him for not praying to Jimmy Space Big E rigorously enough.
He eventually, inspired by their dialogues about "hey, maybe your superiors should consider stopping shooting random civilians" tries to defend some, ends almost killed, and also the truth about Lacedrace comes into the picture. Alongside with sizable "I knew this boy for a week, but if anything happens to him I will turn you all into slobbering chaos spawn"-style carnage.
She eventually calms down after his pleas and the offer follows. To go with her and find a new home among stars or forget and return to calm life on some agri-world.
Sanya decided to go with her and this is how his whole adventure starts. On the way, he at some point met other Fuzzes one way or the other.
They generally share the outlook Lacedrace has about him, that he is smol potat, a really sweet dude with enormous potential, and must be protected. With their own quirks to it, of course.
An'Hangra was really enthusiastic about trying her new fitness program on him. In theory, he should be able to deadlift Leman Russ (person) afterward, but in practice, it was less impressive. Still, he got some useful skills with swinging sharp and blunt objects around.
Shanakay found his cookies acceptable and went on her three-year-long quest to bake the perfect batch of chocolate-chip cookies for her Dark Prince. At least two years were lost due to someone always eating the dough raw. They still exchange recipes and she gets introduced to less common human arts from him.
And with Balthrag he was really happy to just couch potato in her cabin in the endless bogs for some time. Showed good skill as nurgling caretaker. Herding younger siblings before guard conscription certainly helped.
So maybe a month ago, I mentioned to @fionatlux the co-op in Decorah Iowa (which is a sibling co-op to ours in Urbana), and how sad my aunt and I were when they stopped making these specific lime-cornmeal cookies we would stop to get whenever I visited.
Last week I get a message being like "Do you like lime?" and then she brings me LIME-CORNMEAL COOKIES. Which is on top of the outside-my-bedroom-door delivery Nutella cookies when I needed to be a hermit and couldn't people a few weeks ago. Which is to say that @fionatlux is a magical creature and everyone should be aware of this fact.
