gunshu

A style of wushu involving the manipulation of a gun, which is a bamboo staff about one arm's length taller than the user. The style involves manipulating the staff in broad motions, meaning it requires a large amount of space, keen spatial awareness, and an even greater control over the weapon, as opposed to a sword.

While anyone can approach this style, it is ideal for someone who is tall and with a lean build. Power and flexibility are integral to this style.

When doing gunshu in competition, low stances, high jumps, sharp timing, and clearly defined moves get the best scores.
Student: I've completed the elementary longfist form. Can I start studying a weapon now?
Master: It seems that you are ready. Because you are tall and thin. Gunshu will suit you well.

Traumatic events often result in flashbacks due to certain words, images, sounds, or actions, known as triggers.
Me: yeah, so I got jumped that one time, and I've been afraid to go anywhere alone. So that was a major L

My therapist: well, you see, we don't refer to these moments as major Ls. We call these experiences traumatic events.

The Lionhearted

The Lionhearted are devoted fans of the DJ and Producer Porter Robinson. Their name is derived from Porter's song, "Lionhearted". While they are big fans of electronic music, they are known to support several genres of music, and are especially willing to help up and coming artists prosper.

The Lionhearted are known for being extremely kind and caring for those around them. If you fall while jumping in the crowd, they will quickly stop and help you back up. If you lost something, those in your vicinity will spread the word to help you find said item.

You'll know when you meet them. They'll most likely greet you with a smile, and will happily look after you if need be.
I met The Lionhearted at Second Sky, and I have not met a kinder fanbase anywhere else. I came to the festival alone, and they accepted me right in. I can't wait to see them again sometime.

Breakup Powers

A sudden burst of abilities that happen after a bad breakup. A common example is the concept of "Optimus Fine". Breakup powers often manifest in the form of extreme motivation, dedication, and improvement in physical attributes, performance in work/school related skills, or in personal projects.

These improvements are fueled from a genuine desire to improve oneself, or on the other extreme, pure spite for the ex-partner in an effort to show them what they've lost. The effects may last from a few weeks to a couple of years, depending directly on how hard the breakup was.
If you have gone through a breakup, and feel an overwhelming urge to improve yourself in every way and get things done, you might be developing breakup powers. You will feel the urge to get good in every aspect of your life, be the absolute best you can be, and maybe show your ex what they're missing out on. Keep the motivation going, just don't hurt yourself, and take care of yourself!
