Ngl I didn't know breakdancing was an olympic sport, so for several hours after seeing memes about Raygun i thought an athlete from some other sport just randomly started breakdancing because they did well or something.

Just in case anyone missed the footage of Australia's new national hero, the 36 year old breakdancing academic named "Raygun" that we just sent to the Olympics, and who won a spectacular straight run of 0's from every judge

It's October 26th. ⚔️ On this day in 1597, the Imjin War's Battle of Myeongnyang took place off the southwest coast of Korea. Admiral Yi Sun-sin (pronounced Yee Soon Shin)'s Korean fleet of 13 ships dealt a humiliating defeat to Commander Todo Takatora's Japanese fleet of between 120 and 330 vessels (depending upon whether or not you count Todo's roughly 200 non-combat support ships).

Using his knowledge of Korea’s coastline tides and currents, Admiral Yi lured the Japanese fleet into the dangerous Straits of Myeongnyang, where his forces sunk or crippled 30 Japanese warships. Actually, many of the Japanese ships sunk themselves by colliding with each other as they unsuccessfully tried to navigate the straits' whirlpools and eddies.

Todo was wounded, and half of his officers were either killed or wounded. Given the disparity in the number of ships, in which the Japanese ships outnumbered the Korean ships by at least ten-to-one, the Battle of Myeongnyang is regarded as one of the most tactically brilliant victories in the history of warfare. Both North and South Koreans today celebrate Admiral Yi as a national hero – the hero of the "Myeongnyang Miracle." ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Imagine if the guns shot above our heads and then like we kissed as though nothing could fall and the shame was on the other side

I love Chiyo- and I kind of headcanon her as a Witch of the Woods (Sands???) archetype- a bitter old woman who has sacrificed too much, experienced and committed more atrocities than anyone can imagine, and who knows the truth about what lies in the hearts of men to live among the villages anymore.

In my AU she's got a pretty dark backstory. Back in time when Villages were just getting established, women weren't allowed to be shinobi in the same capacity as men. There was too much warring and death among the clans to risk women, so they were only ever allowed to serve as spies or medics. (Chiyo started off as a medic).

And like any military/fascist dictatorship, serving the state was more important than anything else- so women who were kunoichi were given missions to steal and return with powerful bloodlines. Even before villages, this was a common fear among clans (which is why so many of them have protective measures and inbreed/arrange matches very carefully).

Chiyo was one such woman, who took a X-rated mission in her youth because she was told it would 'serve her nation'. There was a powerful bloodline whose Kekkei Genkai could harden sand to something akin to Steel- something Suna very desperately wanted.

Chiyo succeeded in her mission, but despite the veneer of 'serving your nation', when she returned, she was considered, in her words, "Just another whore."

Then when her son didn't manifest the bloodline- it was worse, but Chiyo was happy because that meant her son was HERS. (This is when she met Enji, and he saved her son's life at great cost- so Chiyo owes him a blood/life debt.)

Then the war came, and they needed women to fight so now serving the nation meant something different, and Chiyo became a full fledged 'shinobi' and turned her healing towards poison and death- especially when she had to fight the Salamander.

Then she sealed Gaara and that was the atrocity straw that broke the camel's back and she dipped out Suna and retired to an oasis. She's still a healer, but adamantly refuses to serve shinobi.

Once again, thank you so much for these asks and all the support for this AU?

Byler isn’t just the most respectful ending for Will. It’s also the most respectful ending for Mike. Mike’s main struggle throughout the series has been confronting what it means to be the “hero” who everybody needs, believing that he has to man up and be a conventionally masculine and “normal” guy to do so. And people really believe that the endgame for him is to… do exactly what everyone asks and expects of him at the expense of getting to be himself and prioritizing the things he truly wants out of life??? Lmao no.

His insecurities and the expectations others place on him have kept him from the one thing he truly prioritizes, which is Will at the end of the day. The proper ending for Mike is to finally be himself and finally do what he wants, which is loving Will and being Will’s man, provider, protector etc. etc. THAT is what he wants and by God he will get it IDGAF.
