Men Are Expected To Be Very Strong Creatures Who Shouldnt Cry; Who Are Expected To Just Man Up And Deal

Men are expected to be very strong creatures who shouldn’t cry; who are expected to just “man up” and deal with whatever comes their way. However, crying is a healthy and necessary thing for all people — including men. Crying can help to release stress hormones and toxins from the body and aid in soothing certain emotions. So many associate crying with pain or hurt, and sometimes crying is not to show those emotions at all but to show sincerity and honesty.

Thorquill Beach!AU

Thor Odinson and Peter Jason Quill both love being in nature, living for adventure, and chasing thrills.

As a result of their lifelong interest in the great outdoors, they grew up to pursue careers that suited their passions: Thor founded his own apparel business that centered on a nomadic lifestyle, while Peter became a successful freelance photographer for several top travel magazines and publications.

Fate and circumstance brought them together when both men met for the first time at a hostel in Greece while on separate vacations. Their attraction was immediate when they bumped into each other in the communal dining area.

And it was here when they also heard of an urban legend circulating among the global backpacking circuit: a secret beach on a remote tropical island inhabited by an elite community of international travelers who shared a deep dislike of the commercialization, gentrification, and cultural destruction of tourist locales.

Believing the rumors to be true, Thor and Peter teamed up and took on the seemingly impossible challenge of finding this supposed hidden beach resort populated by vagabonds who hate beach resorts. Their search led them all the way to Thailand, where they managed to get concrete evidence of the existence of their journey: a map mysteriously slipped under the door of their room while they were staying on the Khao San Road in Bangkok.

The map presented an illustrated rendering of the Gulf of Thailand where it marked the location of the beach on one of the many scattered islands. On the corner of the worn, folded paper was a name presumably from the person who delivered the map to them: Thanos.

With the map in their possession, Thor and Peter began preparations to make their way to the destination that has eluded so many of their peers with wanderlust inclinations.

Through sheer force of will, the intrepid pair managed to overcome countless obstacles and actually succeeded in their goal: the beach was real, the people who lived in it did exist and were kindred spirits, and life on the island was exactly like the rumors had described it: heaven on Earth.

Of course, Peter and Thor celebrated their arrival by having sex on the beach on their first night.

But little did they know that their new life and burgeoning love amidst turquoise waters, white sands, and verdant greenery would be threatened by the gradual unraveling of secrets and intrigue from their fellow beach community members on the verge of splintering into various factions and allegiances; some of whom are willing to do whatever it takes to protect their precious little secret from the rest of the world at all costs...

Thor,

I still remember what you told me the first night we arrived on the island about parallel universes, so here's something for you.

We both said and did things we regretted, and we both carry scars from the choices we've made. Choices that we could never take back and changed us in ways we could have never imagined.

I hope that wherever you are right now, you still believe in paradise despite everything we went through during our time on the beach, the good and the bad.

But now at least I know paradise isn't some place you can look for. Because it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something.

And if you find that moment... it lasts forever.

XO

Always your Star-Lord,

Peter

A fight with a boss character is commonly referred to as a boss battle or boss fight. They are generally seen at a climax of a particular section of the game, usually at the end of a level or stage, or guarding a specific objective. A final boss is often the main antagonist of a game's story and the defeat of that character provides a positive conclusion to the game.
