trying to do some form of like working out rn bc ive had two surgeries in the last year and while i feel great mentally, i dont physically so... writing based off that lol

141 boys x reader who's just trying to work out and is an idiot about it..

when you tell john you're trying a small routine you made and can't even describe it properly, he can't help but laugh a little. but he loves you! so hell humor you when hes home and helps you stick to it!

he definitely pushes you to your limits but knows exactly where those are and when you've reached them. he also definitely suggests some healthier foods you could eat... at the end of the day, he loves you and wants you to feel your best, if he can help by doing 2 sets of 10 sit ups with you, he'll take that any day

i feel like kyle would definitely encourage you. though i think hes more... traditional about it. he really wants you to go to the gym with him and when you say you're not comfortable at the gym bc of all the people, he's confused...

but once he watches some tiktoks about public gyms, he definitely understands and will see if he can get you some equipment for your shared home or even into the base's gym (which he probably has to have special order weights that are more your class but he doesn't mind one bit)

soap on the other hand? bro is fucking over the moon! he does push you past your limit the first few (dozen) times but once he realizes where you are vs where he is, he stays within your limits when you want a person to work out with!

he loves doing your tiny routine, yes, show him the 5 reps you wrote down with the wrong but definitely accurate names ("seriously, what is a 'wing lift', luv?" "yk, when you lift your arms like you're doing the chicken dance!" "thats... a name for that. i like it!"). he falls in love all over again as he joins in on what is basically his morning stretches that leave you winded, mostly bc he likes seeing you love yourself (hes bricked the fuck up for half the time you're working out)

simon is the most laid back about it but also the most critical, in an analysis sense. show him your plan? he'll tell you a few you could add and the correct names for stuff and what you should avoid. but he tells you why, which is extremely helpful. he tells you to avoid doing certain exercises on the same day bc they work the same group of muscles and you dont wanna over do it!

this doesn't stop at your written plan tho, if hes home when you're doing this, hes hands-on correcting your form. ("you wanted to work out, fuc'ing do it right or ye'r just wasting time") and he shows you how to do it correctly. he gets you anything you might need tho, weights? go for it. ankle and/or wrist strap weights that technically barely do anything? here's 6 pairs. also a new yoga mat (and it matches his, huh...). you deserve the best stuff, ofc.

I discussed binders and trans tape with a friend last night and fell asleep thinking about the discussion and it resulted in the funniest dream I've had in a long time. Allow me to share.

In the dream I was on tumblr and saw a post that was like:

Reblog this and invent a trans masc guy in the tags

So I reblogged and tagged it with

#trans masc guy who doesn't wash his binder #it's not me #i've washed it 457 times #4'10"

and I reblogged it when it was really low notes and forgot about it but my reblog became the most commonly reblogged uh reblog(?) and it derailed into people just tagging it with how many times they've washed their binder and also adding their height??? (which is even funnier bc I'm not 4'10" ???) (and I also don't own a binder???)

anyways then I dreamed it came back onto my dash and the latest reblog was of someone on the post who had made a table of like

Username | Wash # | Height

and mine was at the very top like

missthesnow1533 | 457 | 4'10"

and THEY HAD CAPTIONED IT WITH

"The average trans masc does Not wash their binder 457 times a year, trans masc georg is a statistical outlier and should not be counted."

(And then they tagged it with)

#keep washing your binder short king

and it had been a long while since my first reblog - SO I reblogged it with a self portrait???? That I just??? Had on hand I guess???? Like sorta painted style of me shirtless and sporting top surgery scars and like. the hint of a phalloplasty scar on my abdomen (which is rly funny cuz I don't think I'm personally all that interested in phallo but whatever lol)

And added the caption:

"Happy to report that trans masc georg as a statistical outlier will not be counted anymore."

(And tagged it with)

#also I'm 5'2" now #not that it matters but yeah

and the person who made the table RBed it with a new table entry at the very bottom:

missthesnow | 0 | 5'2"

captioned with:

"The average trans masc does Not wash their binder 0 times a year, trans masc missthesnow is a statistical outlier and should not be counted."

AND I LAUGHED SO HARD I WOKE MYSELF UP

I do think about quite often (unfortunately) a post I saw by another trans guy a while ago complaining about artists who draw big, bold top surgery scars (specifically calling them "botched") and it's such a weird and awful thing to say to ppl. I had my surgery in March, I'm healed now, but my scars are very much visible. They're dark. They're stretched. They go far back under my arms and around my sides. They probably look that way because I'm fat. And I love them! I love how my body looks, I love my scars. I fought hard to get this far. Maybe it's not always safe for my scars to be visible, but I want to see them, they're proof of what I've gone through and they're apart of me. They've grown and will grow with me. They're not botched. They're perfect. They're everything I could have ever dreamed of and have improved my life more than anything else ever could.

You hurt my heart.

(in a good way but still. Also I looked up serotonin syndrome and I have a large suspicion that it’s worse than the Mayo Clinic describes)

oh yeah i had serotonin syndrome due to a med fuckup a couple years back, can confirm it’s the pits. i got so loopy and overstimulated i tried to fistfight a dude, and i am Not prone to physical violence. mb held out for an impressively long time before going chimp mode

genuinely serotonin syndrome was one of the worst physical sensations of my life, and i woke up from my hysterectomy with 0 pain management. Google Your Medication Interactions
