You know what I think is interesting? As a decently buff woman, the attitude of men towards me in a gym vs in a martial arts academy is VERY different.

Usually men in a gym will look at me That Way™ when I walk into the weight section and do 2 hours of upper body weight training. A lot are judgemental af, trying to dissect my form even tho I've gone through several personal trainers and my form is usually better than theirs. Just overall bad energy.

The men in my martial arts academy?

Something else entirely.

The guys from muay thai and bjj, especially the ones from wrestling, are always hyping me up and encouraging me. Of course there's some exceptions, but most of these dudes have already been humbled by enough women that they're eons less judgemental.

They respect me enough to not go easy on me but they don't try to genuinely injure me (bad sportsmanship no matter the gender). If something about my form in a technique is off, they will give me constructive criticism instead of being demeaning or just staying silent about it to try to guarantee a win.

A guy last week was like "you really be brawling, you picked me up and rolled my on the ground like an alligator", and another dude today was like "you're getting so strong so fast it's ridiculous." AND I'M LIKE THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD ENERGY, WORKING OUT IS 80% OF MY PERSONALITY SO IM HOPING TO BE GOOD IN AT LEAST THAT😭😭😭💕💕

Thinking about how the Bad Kids and the Rat Grinders are the perfect example of book learning vs real world application. Sure the Bad Kids haven’t been “following the rules”, but they’ve been out there putting their skills to good use in a practical setting. By only working on gaining XP, the Rat Grinders haven’t actually prepared themselves for real world scenarios and I wouldn’t be surprised if that came up later in the season.

“Mao, aka Ouroboros, has a past, present, & future is filled with adventure. Travel into the forgotten reaches of Thedas (or maybe a different world entirely) and you might encounter this mad lass challenging chaotic beasts...or taking a rest on a slain foe.”

(Hastily scribbled footnote: This strange, quiet individual originates from a time and place where primordial chaos was something her people battled daily. She had to learn many specialised skills just to survive - one of which was how to deal with monsters and horrors coalescing from the Fade.)

I was today years also when I learned what the third dude you can get in your party in BG3 actually looked like.

Do I look buff like this??

As someone who grew up in nyc, I always like people speculating on the rats there. They are fat, big and fat. A rat needs about 15-20 grams to be fed fully daily which isn’t a lot and nyc is full of food waste, so imagine a rat with unrestricted access to pizza pasta hot dogs 24/7.

They won’t ever go away cause they have been fed large amounts of Italian food for decades.

Only other animal that comes close is the manhattan squirrels who have been fed so much pasta, they just walk up to you with no fear.

WAKE UP NEW BURKE CONTENT-
