BlackTezca's 14th Trial: An Artsy Geeky Amazon Goes Back to School!!!

[BlackTezca]

It still feels like everything is moving so fast!  Hard to keep up with making my challenges!  However I am doing my best to kickass and bring myself into good habits, good routines and of course, good on leveling up!  NOTHING CAN'T STOP THE UNSTOPPABLE FORCE OF UNSTOPPABLE AWESOMENESS THAT I AM!!!

 

 

I began studying in the way of awesome heroics over a year and a half ago and introduce myself to my class in From Lurker to (Newb) Rebel! Not only that, but I often keep detailed reports and status on the villains that plague my journey to fitness and my progress towards becoming a professional hero in BlackTezca's Daily Battle Towards Feline Greatness. The latest battle I have faced was challenging and filled with foes that dare stand in the path of justice, a battle that I have titled BlackTezca's 13th Trial: An Artsy Geeky Amazon PUNCHES THIS CHALLENGE IN THE FACE!!!! And I have kicked that challenge in the ass and now have moved forward and his the next level of PLUS ULTRA in my very Hero Academia challenge!!

 

 

As you may have guessed (or bit smacked in the face with), I have chosen My Hero Academia as the theme of the challenge!  I know there have been a bit of a deluge of super hero shows and movies, but I can never get really burnt out or tired of it due to the love I have for such genres and topics.  While One Punch Man is a bit of a loving parody and homage to the all powerful hero, it's clear that the world is mostly inhabited with normal human beings and a very special few with powers (or money) go through a intense process to become a pro.  

 

Hero Academia has a major difference; everyone else has some kind of powers.  Instead of mutants being rare, being quirkless is a rarity, not just a rarity, but also seen as a disability.  Sure, to be a pro hero, you need to have dedication and somewhat useful powers (as well as wanting to be a hero and the best heroes tend to have the best powers), but everyone has powers.  Everyone can become a hero with enough dedication...unless you're quirkless.  

 

Not that it would stop Batman.  Or the main hero, Izuku Midoriya, who doesn't have money and a name as an advantage.  He has everything else, dedication, intelligence and the most important trait of being hero...the one thing all the best heroes, that the BEST hero, All Might has...

His first instinct is to help.  Even if it terrifies him, if someone is in trouble, he can't just sit there.  He runs into danger, even knowing that it could kill or injure him.  That is one of the first lessons of Hero Academia; true heroes have the innate need to help.  Which I think is very important for all of us.  If I have the will, the need, to succeed, to level up, to follow my main quest; then I can achieve it, no matter what the odds.  And we all know what my main quest is...

 

My Main Quest to be as POWERFUL and BATTLE READY as Wonder Woman

 

Now that we have the introduction out of the way, let go to the quests!  Each one inspired by the awesome characters in My Hero Academia and cover more smaller things I need to build up on in my life!

 

Izuku Midoriya has the dedication study AND work out to be a hero!

Details: Keeping things simple here!  Izuku had a to pretty much transform his buddy to handle heroics as well as a very awesome gift.  My body is transforming, but for different reasons and having a lot of workouts is getting tough again.  However, I want to stay with good habits, so I'm just gonna make sure to get 4 to 5 days of workouts in!  Similar to a previous challenge, but also making sure I don't go over FIVE days of workouts cause recovery time is now...very, very important.

Contingencies: Sickness and travel pretty much.  However considering the flexibility here, I should be able to do something!  Walking, yoga, etc!
Tracking: I'll be tracking the workouts using MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) and this lovely thread will be updated as well.
Grading: 
A for working out 4 to 5 times a week (ONLY) - 25 pts ( 2 Sta 2 Dex 2 Str )
B for working out 2 to 3 times a week - 20 pts ( 1 Sta 1 Dex 2 Str )
F for all else

 

Ochako Uraraka needs to stay down to Earth

Details: A adorable student hero who easily becomes Izuku friend (and love interest), Ochako has the power to alter her own gravity as well as that of objects or other people.  She is kind-hearted, sweet, and becomes a hero to not only do good, but also support her family and not end up in the same career and culture they are in.  I have done that as well, but would like to come back to my roots a bit using DuoLingo to practice Spanish just a little bit a day.

Contingencies: None really.  Just need internet!
Tracking: Tracking to be done here and on the DuoLingo app!
Grading: 
A  for 10 minutes (about 2 lessons) for 25 to 28 days - 20 exp ( 1 Wis 2 Cha )
B  for 10 minutes (about 2 lessons) for 22 to 24 days - 15 exp ( 2 Cha )

C  for 10 minutes (about 2 lessons) for 19 to 21 days - 10 exp ( 1 Cha )

F for all else

 

All Might is the BEST HERO THERE IS...and needs to take better care of himself!

Details: All Might is...awesome.  He is the best.  What I love about him is that he is essentially the CLASSIC western super hero.  All Might is Golden Age Superman, Captain America, those strictly good heroes with awesome powers from my fathers' or even grandfathers' youth.  He truly has a heart of gold and well deserves the title of the TOP hero.  EVER.  Unfortunately, a horrible battle with a villain has left him with a severe condition that he has yet to fully accept, causing him to push his body to PLUS ULTRA levels and beyond when he shouldn't.  Though this could be switch with Izuku quest, since All Might is focusing on what to do best for myself, I'm using this quest as a reminder to take some very important vitamins to keep myself and the clone healthy and not to forget.  Or else I may face a severe condition (or not...just craving a ton of calcium).  I need to keep up my Calcium and Pre-natal vitamin intake!

Contingencies: Well...I need to refill the prescription as well as make sure I bring vitamins on trips so I don't forget them.
Tracking: Tracking to be done here pretty much and MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) using the notes section
Grading: 
A for Calcium + Prenatal for 25 to 28 days - 20 exp ( 3 Con )
B for Calcium + Prenatal for 22 to 24 days - 15 exp ( 2 Con )

C for Calcium + Prenatal for 19 to 21 days - 10 exp ( 1 Con )

F for all else

 

Katsuki Bakugō really needs to think outside of the box and be more chill

Details: Bakugo is in fact a talented young man with an impressive quirk.  He is dedicated to his ambition and wants to be the best.  Not only but he does work towards it; get the best grades to go to the best school and train under the best teachers to become the best.  He has one tiny teeny problem...he's a raging asshole.  The issue is that while I firmly believe ambition is not evil, he also believes he is the best.  Being told by teachers, friends, parents how awesome he is.  It gave him blinders to his flaws.  Luckily for him is that one he realized that no, no no, he's not the best (yet) and really needs to stop raging and calm down, is when he finally starts to act like the hero he desperately wants to be.  How he ties to this quest is loosely, but one of things I have been noting is the putting of something to barely spend time on something else, even though I find both relaxing. I am talented in the skill in a few ways but I am also letting rot a bit.  Also my hubs has been poking and prodding me to get to doing some model painting and I desperately want to do art as well.  So Bakugo, as unlikely as he is, is my art quest!

Contingencies: The usual!  Friends being in town, going on possible trips else where, etc.  Need to focus on painting!
Tracking: I have an art Tumblr and I also have DeviantArt (WATCH ME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY). I shall use those and this thread to keep track. 
Grading: 
A for Arting (model painting mostly) at least 30 minutes 4 to 5 days a week - 20 exp ( 2 Wis 1 Cha )
B for Arting (model painting mostly) at least 30 minutes 2 to 3 days a week - 15 exp ( 1 Wis 1 Cha)

F for all else

 

Tenya Iida is the ever vigilant, ever studious, ever dependable hero!

Details: Though it's Fall now, there is still always time to clean and do chores!...Ugh.  However, Iida is an awesome student hero who's a stickler for rules and because of that and his speed, is the one of the most dependable in a sticky situation.  Since the clone will be arriving sometime, I think it times to build good house chore habits.  Nothing too long and nothing too hard, just doing one chore, five days a week.  Cleaning after animals, vacuuming, dishes, and taking out trash all count!  And I'm giving myself two days of a break a week!  Still this must be done!

Contingencies: Nothing really except for when I am not home.  So I'll have to give allowances for any trips that take more than 2 days.
Tracking: Tracking to be done here pretty much!  Unless there is a cool other app for chores
Grading: 
A for one chore 5 to 7 days a week - 15 exp ( 1 Wis 1 Sta )
B for one chore 3 to 4 days a week - 10 exp ( 1 Wis )

F for all else

 

That is it for the quest!  Now time for a super embarassing awesome gif photo of my growing symbiotic lifeform muscles!!  Holy crap this was a large file so I had to put it up elsewhere to link it for this challenge!!

 

 

Oh man the clone habitat has grown!  But my arms are looking good :D.

 

The stage is set!  The photos are up and now its' time to become a hero!  Or at least do things I should be doing more of and leveling up my life!!  I hope ya'll have as much with your challenges as I hope to have with this one!  Go become heroes everyone!!

 

PLUS ULTRA!!!

Just kidding.  Kinda.  My belly has grown quite a bit in the past two weeks.

Just wait until you hit what SWMBO referred to as the "bloated beached whale" stage.  That seems to kick in at about seven and a half months.  You are also well within your rights to dismember anyone who treats your pregnacy belly as public property.

Pregnancy and swollen bellies won't stop me from practicing my Muay Thai drills on anyone who decides to touch the belly...

Never was a fan of this, never did get why it was okay to touch pregnant women at random. When applicable, I will put them in sankyo, no lie.

Hello =)

 

Did I already show you this AMV? Somehow the song got stuck in my head for two weeks. She made another video called "Anime 101" that's also very funny. Of course they are both meant in a humoristic way and don't describe everything accurately. CU next week. Bytheway I really liked your last uploads on deviant.

That...is...AMAZING!!!  I generally try to avoid doing some shipping, but there are some ships that I can't help but join or really really think something is there.  Even if in the end it was for naught or canon destroyed it...

 

That is an awesome amv!

Day 03 & 04

How I felt during a moment at work.  Exhausted but accomplished

 

Izuku Midoriya has the dedication study AND work out to be a hero!

Day 03 & 04 Details: 01/04 total this week. FINALLY WORKED OUT TODAY!  I have had TWO long ass days of work and finally worked out today.  Even though it was still a longer day than it should've been.  Definitely gonna make 'Go Home at a Decent Time' a quest for next challenge cause ooof.  That was rough.

 

Ochako Uraraka needs to stay down to Earth

Day 03 & 04 Details: 04/25 total this week. Aharo estoy muy cansado y ha hecho solo un nivel de Espanol hoy.

 

All Might is the BEST HERO THERE IS...and needs to take better care of himself!

Day 03 & 04 Details: 04/25 total this week.  Keeping this up at least.

 

Katsuki Bakugō really needs to think outside of the box and be more chill

Day 03 & 04 Details: 03/04 total this week. Didn't do model painting or art yesterday but did some model painting today for an hour before my burnt out feeling from work kicked in.  Blah!

 

Tenya Iida is the ever vigilant, ever studious, ever dependable hero!

Day 03 & 04 Details: 04/05 total so far.  Though I didn't do a planned chore, yesterday morning I held up a mattress while my husband fixed the bed frame so that counts. For today I cleaned out the litter box entirely, put in fresh litter and cleaned up the cat area a bit.  So yeah, chores.  Need to clean office tomorrow and..well...put the sheets back through the washer, dry them and put them away.

 

Tomorrows' Plan: So while I was exhausted today, I do admit that I was pretty accomplished at work.  Several major accomplishments were appreciated and accounted for so that made me happy.  It was just a long week already so hoping for a calmer day tomorrow.  Spinning class tomorrow for my workout!  Hopefully gonna do some model painting tomorrow as well as clean the office.

 

Ciao peeps!

 

[Draegon (Liam P Boyle)]

The sheets in the washer bit sounds like my place. (Oh wait, that's clean laundry in the basket that never gets folded.)

Sent from the dragon's lair

[BlackTezca]

Day 05

I may look and act like this

 

Izuku Midoriya has the dedication study AND work out to be a hero!

Day 05 Details: 01/04 total this week. So gonna make a B since I passed out after dinner.  Really tired guys.  This week was really hard with...stuff...

 

Ochako Uraraka needs to stay down to Earth

Day 05 Details: 05/25 total this week. Ahora estoy como 35% fluido en Espanol.

 

All Might is the BEST HERO THERE IS...and needs to take better care of himself!

Day 05 Details: 04/25 total this week.  Welp I think I forgot to take my Prenatal yesterday due to promptly passing out after dinner from pure exhaustion.  I did take my calcium at least but that is a day missed.  Ugh!  Need to stop being so tired.

 

Katsuki Bakugō really needs to think outside of the box and be more chill

Day 05 Details: 03/04 total this week. Nope!  NAP TIME!  Impromptu nap time after Spanish lessons and I never really woke up from there.

 

Tenya Iida is the ever vigilant, ever studious, ever dependable hero!

Day 05 Details: 05/05 total so far.  Cleaned out the fridge, got some groceries, put sheets in laundry...all after another riveting day at work.  No wonder I was pooped.

 

Todays' Plan: So the entirety of this week and probably last week crashed on me superbly yesterday in a massive amount of 'I'm gonna just die here' on the couch.  I never felt so tired.  It's like the fatigue of the first trimester came back all at once.  I haven't felt like working out which is not good, and just been wanting to sleep.  Sometimes not even eat.  Just sleep.  It doesn't help that my coworkers, one by one, have been dropping like flies due to illness.  Which makes me nervous as well.  Really hoping to do SOMETHING workout wise today.  Cause you know, I wanna keep fit while growing habitat.  We'll see.  At least chores are good.

 

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

But I feel like this...

[starpuck]

Hang in there girl.  You got lots going on.  Totally normal to be pooped.  And sometimes, when you're so pooped you can do very little else but rest, it's because your body is screaming for you to listen to it.     Start with small, non intense things if you wanna be active and move about- at least until your energy levels dip back up!  But hey, no stress, no mess, k?  You're good.

 

 

[Urgan]

Yeah, what @Starpuck said. Exhaustion is not a personal failing, but I TOTALLY get you. I had a job interview yesterday and even though it turned out well it flet like I'd been drained of blood. Didn't work out, didn't cook dinner. There's always tomorrow! Or next week, as the case may be, lol.
