based on a tumblr post pls add if it you find it.
i love joining discord servers and then never saying anything ever
I keep seeing people making Minecraft animals out of little wood blocks and painting them. I'm deadass about to make a Minecraft cat for my room 💀
Like you can't tell me this shit isn't cute.
amazing
due to sleep inflation 1 hour of sleep is now worth 37 minutes
a group of mystery-solving teens break into my wizard tower and—after a series of whimsical and spooky hijinks—manage to tie me up and say “alright gang, time to see who’s really behind this ugly ‘evil wizard’ mask,” and then they pull on my face and i go “ow…”
Would you like Krongus to remove the teens from the premises
jeepers. just throw em in the pit
Which pit?
The tower possesses 3 pits
the—the death pit, obviously
Krongus is unsure of the morality of condemning the teenagers to the death pit
would you do it for a krongy snack
Wait for the master.
The amount of confidence oozing from this dude
i re-watched it several times, looking for what he does differently. finally i spotted it. look at the line of motion in his strike. it’s not especially fast, he doesn’t wind up more than the others, and it’s not a matter of strength – the guy who knocked over the stand probably put more muscle into it. but there’s a unity of movement he has that the others lack. his body and sword are all one curve. everything moves at once along the same line.
from a physics perspective, that means all the force he’s applying is concentrated at the point of contact between his sword’s edge and the target, and it moves at just the speed that breakage propogates through the material. too slow and it wouldn’t have enough force; too fast and he’d get ahead of the break, shoving the target over instead of cutting it.
from a writing perspective, that means that i should focus on describing a master swordsman’s smoothness more than their strength or speed, and can also have witnesses be confused at the effectiveness of strikes that don’t actually seem all that fast.
Martial arts are all about physics, my karate sensei is has a mechanic/physics diploma and he loves to explain the biomechanics of human body and how this was turned into fight via martial arts. It’s a very good way to teach. The sword master has a larger stance of the feet, much more than the others, allowing his barycenter to lower and thus giving more stability. This, united with the movement of the sword that follows the angle of his body increases the power of the blow without actually using too much muscle strength. Pretty sure he’s also just tending (not contracting) the muscles under the armpits, near the rib cage, the serratus anterior. That makes a huge difference.

What was most interesting to me is size has no correlation to success for any of the people.
