Fun Fax: OLM Chapter 6

Jin’s injuries have caused such a particular timeline of events in my head its kinda stupid, im hyperaware of how they would realistically heal and what he can and cannot do in this time, its driving me nuts lol! stuck between writing realistic injury/recovery stuff, and this being freaking tekken. help.

the thing with Jin’s flame trainers is of course directly lifted from Bloodline, i like that they felt the need to add detail when it came to one of his biggest monikers. unlike with Bloodline, tho, he actually gets what he wants cause we dont have Heihachi as the one calling the shots

i mention kata a LOT in this fic, apparently, and i wish i had any kind of reference for what a Mishima-Ryu kata truly might be. only knowing Isshin-Ryu myself, i imagine Kusanku and Chinto (Shotokan style) kata especially in reference to Kazuya! (for the record, i think of Sanchin and Seiyunchin (Goju-Ryu style) for Heihachi. i could go into a lot more on this subject, but both these styles are p rooted in their playstyles!) apologies to anyone who doesnt know much about martial arts for real 😬

do i look like i know anything about ward/guardianship proceedings? no, im keeping it vague on purpose. if you know anything on the subject i am truly sorry but im not writing a legal drama we have to kill the demon

Kazuya is such a dick it drives me insane 💀 hes so fun to write, but like Jin, im over here wanting to strangle him during this chapter. stop trying to make him mad and just be a dad wont you 😭 (extra, my beta said “ive decided i hate this man” while reading his convo with Jin hsdfdn)

speaking of which, i found the first time he takes on the dad tone when Jin gets caught eavesdropping so funny to me for no reason sdfds

unfortunately, i found myself very exasperated with this chapter when i finally posted it. im finding my issues in pacing a lot more now that im actually getting into stuff, and its a little discouraging tbh. but we persist! trying to find a balance between throwing in the towel and being at peace with the fact that this isnt going to be perfect. its my first long fic, after all, and the weight of that is starting to land lol

throwback to one of the tournaments I competed in last year :-)

Hi, have you got any themes that have 2 to 4 columns with a sidebar on the RIGHT hand side (sorry about the caps)? It's preferable if the pics aren't all stuck together and if the background is white. Trying to go a little on the lines of my current theme bit with more columns :) Thankyou in advance :)

Definitely preferring Seiyunchin over Sanchin. I feel like I can really expand and open up versus trying to compress into a narrow space. (at AOK Eureka Dojo)

tournament day on Saturday

I am super duper nervous but fingers crossed these last few days of training will all pay off ~^-^~

Seiyunchin has an interesting history with our style, Shuri-ryu.

Grand Master Trias borrowed a little from both Shuri and Naha styles, and Sanchin has been a part of Shuri-ryu from the beginning. However, while he reportedly really liked Seiyunchin, he never got around to formally adding it to the style or including it in our style manual, The Pinnacle of Karate. 

Within the last several years, my teacher, Shihan Joseph Walker (8th dan and a chief instructor of Shuri-ryu), started teaching it to brown belts, and it is now a required kata for all shodan candidates. Other Shuri-ryu chief instructors are familiar with and run the kata, but I’m not certain whether any of them have included it in their curriculum or testing yet.

At any rate, it’s an interesting kata, and I enjoy it. It carried me to 2nd place in one of our school tournaments, too.
