The percentage is probably also different for different age groups - since the number of quirked people rises with each generation it makes sense that percentage of quirkless people in middle/high school aged children is lover than in adults. So even if we get 5% in Japan it could be 1% for underage ppl. And in a show mainly focused on children and prominent quirked hero/villain characters it makes sense we wouldn't see many other quirkless ones.
I think that Iceland and other low-quirked-percentage countries that exist would become popular destinations for quirkless immigrants (especially if we take fanon hedcannons for bad treatment of quirkless people). And this would lower the percentage even more - indywiduals leaving on their own, parents sending their quirkless children to study abroad, or whole families leaving. Which could result in those countries having their quirkless populations bigger for longer.
Constantly thinking about that one bnha headcanon that the “20% of the population is quirkless” statistic is based on world demographics, and actual quirkless population varies a lot by country. Since quirks first appeared in China and other Asian countries, quirked populations would be highest in those areas, with populations declining the further out you get. So, the actual quirkless population of Japan might be as low or lower than 5%, whereas the quirkless population of the UK, or Iceland might be closer to an even 50%.
This partially explains why Midoriya was the only quirkless person we saw for so long.
Chapter 4 of Double Discovery (by @dp-marvel94) podfic is up!
I had so much fun recording it :D
I honestly do just presume everyone in the world has watched naruto I just can't comprehend a person that hasn't witnessed rock Lee take off his training weights or seen naruto sit sadly on a swing 50 times so when I see someone say they've never seen naruto I just don't believe them they have definitely watched naruto it is a universal life step
The first day of Danny May is dragon... so here is my contribution
Dancing Dora 🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃
fuck it. blob mitosis
Thank you!!! I'm so excited for this!
I feel like with your pointers I can actually build an exercise routine for once :D
I'll definitely be posting what exercises I end up doing with the finished pod. Who knows, maybe I'll inspire some listeners to follow along.
So, I want to podfic your Gym101 fanfic (this is me asking your permission to do it) for a VoiceTeam challenge, but I also want to get swole for Dash this 2025.
Here's my idea: I read your fic while doing exercises. I will need to experiment a bit to find out which exercises I can do while recording. So far I was thinking:
squats - obviously following Valerie's instructions, I don't have a weight bar though
active bar hang
plank - I'll see how much can I actually record doing that...
maybe some stretches for when I get too out of breath
I'd love any suggestions and pointers for exercises I can do while podficing. Guide me
PS: Your presence alone made me want to redo my pull-ups new years resolution 💪💪💪
Oh that's an awesome idea. I'm all for it. And now I'll need to write another chapter for it lmao!
As far as programming goes, I think anything that you can do that you can stick to are the best. Like for me, I fucking hate doing most stereotypical core exercises like planks and crunches and those 10 minute ab videos, so I've been mixing abs and core into my other weightlifting exercises instead of having it as its own dedicated thing.
But if you wanted some more concrete pointers, I would say in general like outside of just recording for the podfic, building a program around hitting every major muscle is going to be key for preventing muscle imbalances, and thus compound exercises are going to be your friend. Squats are a great one because they hit glutes, quads, and hamstrings, which are three major muscle groups on the lower body. And to hit calves, you can superset them with calf raises or something. Bada-bing-bada-boom, with 2 exercises you've pretty much got your lower body taken care of.
For upper body, things like push ups hit the chest, biceps, and triceps. Since you mentioned you have a bar, doing active bar hangs, scapular pulls, and negatives (all progressions of the pull-up) hit a bunch of muscles in the back, plus you're engaging your core for stabilization. If you have any heavy objects laying around your house, you can do farmers walks around a room which are another awesome thing for core work and all around general body strength (hits a ton of muscles all over the upper and lower body, and holding the heavy objects at different heights can engage more of the shoulders too).
Even though I'm in my weightlifting era rn, I'm a huge fan of calisthenics in general and do a lot of them for like functional strength and mobility. Definitely recommend you look into that if you're tryna workout from home this year!
Oh, and make sure you warm up before you exercise! There are lots of great dynamic stretching vids on Youtube.
Have fun and keep me updated on how it all goes!
I haven’t gone into it much before but I’m honestly so attached to the idea of Danny having a heart condition
It’s asymptomatic under most circumstances because his naturally low heart rate means that his heart isn’t under any real strain
But like?? Vlad died of ectoplasm poisoning, Danny died of electrocution
Vlad got ecto-acne for years and Danny thought he was fine but actually he has a heart condition that would’ve been fatal without treatment under most other circumstances <3
I just like it
Frequent readers of this blog will know that I've long held that "gen" fics are often considered an afterthought in fandom, and that it's assumed that anyone reading a fic is reading it for the romance. So I thought, what do we do on Tumblr when we feel something needs more attention in fandom? We do a challenge!
My thought is we do a "Gen Fics Week", where people will either write or recommend seven gen fics for seven themes. My thought for having recommendations being acceptable submissions is that one, it will open the participation up to non-writers, and two, it will allow writers to recommend fics they already wrote that didn't get enough attention. But, of course, this would all be pointless if I were the only one doing this, so here's a poll to gauge interest.
It's so much fun to read fanfiction right after watching the show. I can still hear dialog in voiceactors voice and I automatically imagine sound effects as I read. Shame that it stops after some time... but I can always do a re-watch!
It takes place before Danny gets control over his powers, so he keeps turning intangible and dropping stuff. He then gets flustrated and it happens even more. And while he is struggling with that Sam tries to swap ingredients to vegan alternatives without Tucker noticing.
you know the blind, deaf, and mute challenge? well i accidentally typed "blind, dead, and mute" into the youtube search bar and now all i can think about is Danny doing the challenge with his two friends, Tucker and Sam, as blind and mute, while he transforms into Phantom as the "dead" and they try to bake a cake
Hi! I'm new to tumblr. I do podfics on ao3 ^^ ace, any pronouns Fandoms: DP, Voltron, BNHA, Naruto
