GUYS, I DID IT!

First of all sorry for the delay, I had planned to start this so much earlier than I actually had time to, but, as you can imagine, rl got in the way and I wanted to polish it out to make my life easier once it was created and at the same time not overcomplicate it too much since it’s my first server as an admin.

So, first of all, the link will be active for 7 days from the moment I post this, and if you stumble across this post later on, feel free to message me, I swear I’m not a heart eater myself or simply leave a comment requesting one (but please have at least your ask box open).

Second of all, I put out a post last week to test the waters on what people thought of the idea of a discord server and some of you replied or interacted with that post, so I’m tagging you guys, I hope you don’t mind.

@nico-di-genova, @pompurinda, @arson-frog, @multi-fandom-mouse-rat, @reorientingtothexdaylight, @k0sm1clupus, @crowdemon-boyo, @alaisthings, @gayshipsandanxiety

Hope to see any of you guys soon!

Oh shit? Go white girl go 😳.

Her name’s Cynthia Rothrock and you’d better put some respect on it!

she’s part of the old guard of Hong Kong kung fu films where you had to be an honest to god martial artist to play the role correctly. when she started acting in American movies they had to keep telling her to not hit so hard lmao

love watching her sword very carefully and gracefully missing him

Cynthia Rothrock is also the inspiration for Sonya Blade and she started doing work in Hong Kong after Hollywood kept saying there was no room for female action stars.

Cynthia Rothrock is so bad ass and trained her body so much, she defies what a normal body is capable of doing. When she ripped her ACL she turned down the reconstructive therapy because of how much work she had. The doctors told her she wouldn’t be able to walk properly cause her kneecap wouldn’t be held in place anymore. Que their surprise when she walks out, but keeps working without any issues.

Turns out her quadriceps and hamstrings were so strong that they held her kneecap in place even WITHOUT HER ACL. She still hadn’t done so as of 2012 last reported

Let’s watch Cynthia and Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh kick some ass:

Back in the 80s they cast a lot of martial artists as actors and a lot of them weren’t very good at acting.* And that had its disadvantages, because there’s only so much Michael Dudikoff dialogue one can be expected to put up with. I think also they didn’t put a whole lot of effort into teaching their martial artists to act better, because that wasn’t the point.

The advantage was that everyone in the fight scenes fucking knew what they were doing. And yeah, you get those bits where the choreography is obviously Fancy but realism isn’t the point either, we’re here for creativity. You do start to miss it after watching professional actors who’ve had a few weeks of screen fight training – it’s something about the way an actual martial artist holds themselves, the muscle memory.

*(this is not a judgment of Rothrock in particular, I’ve only seen one later film of hers and it was bad in every dimension so it wouldn’t be fair to judge her on it)

Ironically, Michelle Yeoh was NOT a martial artist. She was ballet trained and learned the choreography for the fight scenes.

I guess she eventually learned some martial arts, but she was not a martial artist the way Cynthia was and yet, she also became famous for her martial arts films.

NEAT.
