mothers and fuckers of the jury. "Dead dove: do not eat" is a label on a bag in the fridge. It means "the content of this bag is exactly what is labeled". It does not mean "trigger warning uhhh something". In fact, it means the exact opposite of "trigger warning uhhh something", because tou use it with other tags. You write a fucked up fic with extreme violence and gore, you tag it as "extreme violence", "gore" and you tag it with "dead dove: do not eat". You write a fic with emotional abuse, gaslighting and manipulation, you tag it with "emotional abuse", "gaslighting" and "dead dove: do not eat". You write a fic with your extremely niche kink that appeals to like 3 other people and may skeeve out the rest of the fandom, you tag that with your kink and "dead dove: do not eat". It's so people know you're really mean the content warnings.
It's NOT a catch-all term for "uhhh this may be fucked idk". TAG YOUR SHIT GENEROUSLY.
#I've said it before I'll say it again #''dead dove: do not eat'' is the fanfic equivalent of ''warning: contains peanuts'' on a jar of peanut butter (via @phoenixiancrystallist)
When [Ken’s] eyes had regained their focus, there he stood, the pale ghost of vengeance, his unbound hair a dark halo around his ashen face. His eyes, as always, seeking above all to understand, as if the world had somehow wronged him. - @pharawee
A scene from our rp in which Big and Ken both live and have to deal with … that
i got a 95 on my chemistry exam, so to celebrate i give you all a little Nodt doodle !!! i think the bunny hats are cute idc lmao
very much referenced from the post on Nodt’s instagram just with a different hoodie and some little detail differences- idk why but for the longest time when i was watching KP i convinced myself that Big had an eyebrow slit and now i can’t bring myself to not put it even though it was never there in the first place :,))
Some great discourse got me revved up about the fight choreography so far in KinnPorsche, so guess what? META TIME.
We know Porsche is a Taekwondo champion, though from what has been shown so far, he's generally NOT leading with his Taekwondo skills but rather with his street fighting skills. I say this as someone who has practiced Taekwondo. It's there, and I can see it in certain moments, but it's like it's buried in boxing and brawling moves.
I saw one especially big exception. Or should I say, exception for Big? (Haha. Get it?)
Credit and thank you to @moerusai for those sweet gif skills!
This is gorgeous. Just gorgeous. I've gushed to my KP friends about this, and now I'll just gush to Tumblr at large.
It's basically Hapkido, a self-defense art. The focus is on neutralization through a series of short, skillful movements. It is not offensive. It's a Korean martial art, like Taekwondo. I learned a set of Hapkido movements right along with Taekwondo when I practiced, and it would be completely normal for Porsche to also have learned as part of his practice.
So, what the heck just happened?
1. Block
Porsche first blocks with his left hand and grabs Big's wrist. Grabbing the wrist here is essential rather than just knocking it out of the way. None of the rest of his actions would have worked if he'd simply knocked the hand away.
2. Redirect Opponent
Think Porsche tried to punch Big here? Nope, not in the slightest.
See how far off the punch is? That's not because the actors were playing it safe... that's because Porsche isn't trying to hit Big. Porsche is separating his opponent from his weapon. While punching, Porsche maintains control over Big's right wrist.
Big is now on the defensive, and (critically) Porsche is interfering with Big's line of sight to his own weapon.
3. Step In
Porsche steps inside Big's guard, curling Big's right arm around himself.
Look at Porsche's eyes. What's he looking at? THE GUN. His focus is on the gun. Good job, Porsche, A+.
4. Disarm
Looking a bit risky here to me (if Big still had his finger on the trigger, this could be Bad), but fortunately Porsche already has almost complete control of the gun as well as leverage to pry it away (his left and right hands in a great position for prying), and Big has no line of sight to what's happening with the weapon.
Note that Porsche's right hand grabs the barrel of the gun from above. This would allow him to rotate the gun upwards, putting pressure along the weakest gripping fingers first (pinky and ring fingers) if Big still had a grip, which he doesn't.
Thus, Porsche does some thievery. Good job again, Porsche!
5. Escape
Porsche breaks away. Big is annoyed to say the least.
6. Where are you kicking, Big?
O.O!
7. Surrender
It was a good run for 3 whole seconds, Porsche, but ultimately you're still screwed. Big has a second gun and lots of backup, and not even you can disarm numerous men from a prone position.
~~~
In conclusion, I really fucking love the fight choreography so far. I would love to see Porsche evolve over the course of the season and maybe see more of his Taekwondo start to shine through the brawler moves.
(If you like this KP meta, check out my breakdowns for Lines of Power.)
How did you guys not find them? You were literally right behind them when they crashed! Where the hell could they have gone that fast??? Why did they leave the truck at all?????
Awww, Big. You’re an asshole but this really isn’t your fault. Plus you have cute hair.
“We’re not gonna die!” I mean not of dehydration. You are still lost in the jungle so let’s not get too excited.
Porsche pulling out that lighter asdklghlskdhfa
Vegas rocking up to his surveillance team with a care package was pretty baller
I love Kinn acting like he actually knows how to camp and survive in the jungle when it’s very clear that his idea of ‘roughing it’ is going without cologne and wi-fi
So Kinn wanted to be a musician and now Kim actually is one. That must generate an interesting sibling dynamic.
And now you’re at the bottom of a ravine. Nice job.
Okay listen. Is it remotely possible in this particular scenario? No. But should someone do fanart of Kinn and Porsche getting out of the ravine like Kuzco and Pacha in The Emperor’s New Groove? Abso-fuckin-lutely.
Don’t worry, Kinn, it’s actually quite normal to fantasize about leaving your job and going to live in the forest
