    There is a martial arts idiom that goes, "The hands are two doors, rely on feet to hit"; but it doesn't mean what you think it means. Instead, it means that the hands are like doors that must stay closed, or else you have no defense (especially for head). More importantly, the feet doesn't mean "kick", but "footwork".

    I see some casuals writing in their story about how "every martial arts is a different dialect of the same language" or "martial arts are just flowery bullshit" or whatever Americanisms that tend to pop up in shitty writing, but there's actually a lot of wisdom in martial arts that seems to be ignored by the ignorant. Sad.

    Why is it that some people in HK or TW like to add a "Sir" at the end of their names? It's kind of strange, you know, when someone calls themselves, like, "Biigoh Sir", instead of just "Sir" or "Sir Biigoh", idk.

    I think I've seen it with some east indian people... so MIGHT be a hold over from the long ago era of british colonial rule?

    I think this might be right, just like how in HK people call law enforcers/policemen "Ah Sir", like how Bii might be called "Abii"...

    I'm impatient to an immature degree so I'm also going to ask here after asking 2 other mods:
    I'm new to the whole forum/thread/quest thing, and I'm completely lost. I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell is happening. Can you give me a generalized run down of how tf this all works because I feel like I'm missing something, especially with the quests?

    I think it was around the time Saekano released that the idea that "tsundere" attribute characters being the final winners in a romance became less like reality and more like a Hollywood lie, well, not Hollywood, but you know what I mean, anime, like a media lie, so these days you don't see many tsundere childhood friend main character female characters anymore

    It feels like most Chinese stories from a female protagonist POV tends to portraying modern society as feudal society and feudal society as slave society

    It seems like in martial arts stories, the top two or three levels are usually conceptual power rather than inner strength, but they call it "intent" and that's kind of weak compared to conceptual magic, but at the same time, "intent" is also used in shitty ass xianxia shit, but they're always described the same in narrative, but the settings are so different, which tells us a lot about the xianxia genre.

    So in martial arts novels, everyone uses something called 金疮药 ("Gold Sore Medicine") to stop bleeding, and it's like this white powder recipe from Ming era monk who made it from ground animal bones, but there's a version on Baidu that uses:

    and then there's a modern upgraded version of this that the army here prescribes to all the privates like the us army tosses aspirin like candy called 云南白药 ("Yunnan White Medicine"), but this one is for bruises, come in pill form or a spray, and there's even a version for pets...

    ... but people here use both of them for broken bones for some reason???

    It also depends on which Powers That Bii(goh) it is. Like the one in Buffy is significantly different from the one in Marvel, as an example

    Come to think of it, when she named Cu Chulainn's sword in her novel as "Hard Head", I think she was make a lewd reference to his penis, but I never caught on

    Multiverse chatroom... but everyone inside can't speak; they're all like, Pikachu, Tom and Jerry, Nishimiya Shoko, Kirara, Akira Oono, Link, Kamado Nezuko, Appa, Pochita, etc...

    ... and then one character who can speak who has to herd them like a herd of cats.

    Maybe Bocchi.

    I feel like if you become someone like Matou Byakuya, you can say something like, "Aoi-san, you wouldn't want anything to happen to Rin-chan and Sakura-chan, would you?"

    Lmao this one "Simultaneous Isekai" story had one of the MCs surrender to Sargeras from Hearthstone and then the MC in other worlds like One Piece started reenacting the Warlords of Draenor trailer and feeding everyone demon blood

    Wait, so if Gilgamesh's bloodline is divided into thirds, 2/3 gawd and 1/3 boi, then if you think about it Kurosaki Ichigo, being 1/3 desugawd 1/3 monk 1/3 void, is also a Gilgamesh, except he's kind of a loser compared to the original, but that's expected from a copy
