When I grow up I want to be Ming-Na Wen.

[housetohalf]

She’s the voice of Mulan, as if she wasn’t amazing enough.

[palindrome-mystery]

She broke it with her fingers. Not a fist, her fingers.

[spiffypop]

Girl is 50 years old.

FIFTY. YEARS. OLD.

[firebreathingeli]

fun fact: When you break things with your hands like that you have t break your fingers on purpose before so that they heal stronger. So basically this woman is so badass she broke her hands just to do this. 

[fuckingconversations]

You asshat, you’re making it sound like she snaps her fingers in half. 

Martial artists like Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee (and yes, fucking Ming-Na Wen, that beautiful badass) will build up their bone strength by repeatedly (and fairly gently) striking sand, gravel, wood and steel - this creates tons of microfractures in their bones (smaller than even a hairline fracture) so the bones will heal over again and make the bones stronger and denser with increased deposits of calcium. 

This has to be done over long-ass periods of time, so the bones have time to heal, and none of the fractures expand into actual breaks. 

Oh, and she’s doing precise-ass kicks in HIGH HEELS.

she kicks ass like a coursing river

[tacorub]

Saw this post so many months ago and I still think about it from time to time lol so badass

[thatsthat24]

Had the absolute pleasure of meeting her. She’s indeed a kind-hearted and gorgeous badass.

This Comedian Nails Why The Mental Illness + Creativity Connection is Ridiculous

[merindab]

I used to really worry that medications would harm my creativity and it’s part of why I resisted taking them. It hasn’t. If anything it’s allowed me to be more focused and able to complete things. My imagination hasn’t changed just because I’m on anti-depressants.

[hollowedskin]

a lot of my family didnt want me to start medications because they thought it would impact my ability to create, and I believed them. Now im getting better and better with my art because i dont have to fight through the brainfog or the constant panic attacks and can dedicate my energy to my work. Antidepressents didnt take my emotions away, they made them easier to handle.

[trashfirefallon-deactivated2019]

This was one of the reasons my mother didn’t put me on meds

[oxforddrama-deactivated20230801]

@hollowedskin that last line you wrote there is so important.

[squeedge]

Word to this. While my art may have developed as a coping mechanism initially (key words: -may have-), I’m at my most creative and productive when my head isn’t clouded and worn down by mental illness. When I express my woes and people say “HEY AT LEAST YOU’RE CREATIVE” it’s such an insulting oversimplification and misunderstanding of how creativity and mental illness interact.

[chlove-art]

I can’t believe some people actually believe this still. 

As for me, I create my art out of the JOY I have for life!! And it seems to work quite well :)

[gmused]

I’ve seen multiple interviews with Steven King where he talks about his early career and believing that he could only be good if he was drinking. When he finally stopped and got help, he realized that his writing was as good/better and he was happier doing it.
