Cishet people seem to be under so much stress to perform like when you ask them they say how being a woman requires XYZ and they have so much anxiety about it and they hate how being a man means they're barred from ABC and it's terrible and depressing and you say "maybe do what you want then. You don't have to follow the rules" and they both start stabbing you.

i cannot overstate how much postural restoration therapy has changed my life. i can actually snowboard now. like for real, my center of gravity actually shifted back to where it is supposed to be and i can comfortably stand balanced over the board in a way i was completely incapable of last year when my pelvis was all twisted and fucked up. i can't believe how drastic the change is. i can't believe i was walking with a limp for years and i didn't even know it until i stopped limping. and above all, i can't believe how simple the therapy was. i'm like. wow. what the hell.

It's normally meant for kicking, which I get Taekwondo is known for. But it's got loads of elbows.

There’s going to be a Lone Wolf part 4 ??!!?? I thought it was all ending with nascent diplomat, I’m so excited!

Yes!

Part three will end with the vench, basically.

Part four of The Lone Wolf will focus on Gwyn and the Raven Prince's healing connection, and Augus + Gwyn's growing relationship which can evolve more naturally once they're away from the vench.

It'll be the final installment.

Initially the plan was to have Gwyn and Augus fully hooked up by the end of their time with the vench, but I realised it's just too much of an unnatural environment for Gwyn, and he can't do much while his magic is still wounded. But once that's healed, everything will kick off.

I don't think it will be as long as The Nascent Diplomat because the storyline is a lot softer, so I think it's going to be more of a gentle extended epilogue, sort of like Constellations. All in all, tND will probably the longest story in the series, and part 4 will be the second longest.

I’m getting up early to go train with my old Taekwondo nationals team mate and maybe our instructor to get on track for our Black belt. My mentor recently died so the school is being taken over by his Master before him and that Master wants to get us our black belts since we’ve been Bodans for like 6 years XD but since covid I fell out of my peak condition and so long story short this is gonna S U C K. I got nauseous during a WARMUP on Thursday 💀 and I threw up for the first time working out in years two months ago after doing TWO DRILLS. It’s pathetic. Ima look pathetic, but I have to start sometime 😭 I just hope I don’t get sick again

if i do a fave releases in the first half of 2024 set can i put both birth & virtual angel in there. rhetorical question im probably gonna do that

[ijustreallylikecaptainamericaok]

I will say, though, credit where it’s due, if M*rvel wants the audience to see K*ng as a threat and hate his guts, having him beat the shit out of the kindest dude in the M/C/U is certainly a quick way to do it.

Like, seriously, the only way they could accomplish that any quicker would be having him set fire to a building full of puppies.

cc inspired me to do actual belt math so if the writers actually gave the kids realistic ranks (minus time requirements) instead of giving them all black belts then Tory would be at Red 1 or 2 in a taekwondo based system or Brown or Brown 1 in a goju ryu based system

[tesl8n]

You know what was really cringe today? Before the tournament, they had a prayer that was like, "thank you god for inventing Taekwondo"

And obv besides the insensitivity of having a fucking christian prayer in a group that is not homogenously christian, it's also super dumb because the fucking people who invented Taekwondo weren't fucking christians* >.<

josie's ocs part 1: the king's daughter trilogy (tkd)

Caitriona "Cait" Câer

she/her, aquarius, fae/shifter/human

heir to the Northern kingdom of Marel (her parents' only surviving child)

a talented shifter, but lost her ability to use fae magic after the traumatic incident that killed her mother and left her physically disabled

very guarded and cold to those she doesn't know, but cares deeply about the people she lets in

likes/good at: languages, combat, shifting, botany

dislikes/bad at: playing instruments, magic, art, writing (her disability mainly affects her fine motor skills in her hands, so she hates tasks that require them), bears, being referred to as a "princess"

best friend: Theo

romantic interest: Nix

roommate: Analei

guard: Toby

Fenix "Nix" Khalleran

they/them, virgo, giant/human

heir to the Khalleran Clan, a roaming clan of (mostly) giants in the Northern kingdom, but was raised by their aunt and uncle in the Southern kingdom after the Clan was attacked and their twin died

was forced to avoid all mention of their heritage while in the South because their aunt feared the danger their connection to the Khalleran Clan could put her children in

warm and upbeat, but nervous--they grew up rather sheltered, and are unsure of themself and their place in the world; despite this, they are open to new experiences and love meeting new people

likes/good at: pottery, biology, combat, adventure, travel, cold weather

dislikes/bad at: standing up for themself, fire, disappointing people, lying

romantic interest: Cait

Theodosius "Theo" Wren

he/him, cancer, human/fae

raised in academia by his single mother, who is a professor at the academy that he, cait, nix, and analei all attend

has an autoimmune disorder, so he's sick a lot (he's used to it, it's just an annoyance to him for the most part)

nerdy and excitable--boy is very adhd. he could talk for days about the things he's passionate about, but also loves to listen to other people talk about their passions

likes/good at: history, dragons and their care, astronomy, calligraphy

dislikes/bad at: learning languages (he tries, but he's just not good at it lol), being cold, headaches and nausea, magic, combat

best friend: Cait

Tobias "Toby" Fischer

he/him, capricorn, human

orphaned shortly after he was born, but was taken in (and basically raised by) Cait's mom; he's 9 years older than Cait, and is her older brother in every way except biologically

swore his life to Cait when she was born, and has been her personal guard ever since he was old enough to take on the role

stoic and stony on the outside, but loving and soft on the inside. he's a golden retriever in a doberman/mastiff's body (babies--both human and animal--make him cry)

likes/good at: horses, combat, anti-magic (the ability that some humans have which can block/shut down fae magic), history, his husband, dragons

dislikes/bad at: trusting other people to protect Cait, drama

charge: Cait

Analei Dûr

she/her, taurus, human/shifter

princess of the Eastern kingdom of Marel (her older brother, the prince, died when she was a teenager, so she is the heir to the throne now)

has known Cait since they were both young; the two are surprisingly close friends, despite their wildly different personalities

extremely feminine, outgoing, and flirtatious--adores being the center of attention. she is also very calculated and observant, though very few see that side of her (she exaggerates the ditzy flirt side of her personality to use it as a façade)

likes/good at: the color pink, singing, parties, cool rocks, jewelry and fashion, history

dislikes/bad at: getting her hands dirty, getting her clothes dirty, talking about her brother, anti-magic, learning tonal languages

roommate: Cait
