If someone tells you to stop ripping on them, even if you’re joking, fucking listen. That shit gets tiring doesn’t matter if it’s a fucking joke no one wants to hear negative shit all the time.
Some of y’all think you can be rude asf all the time bc you’re “just joking” but you’re seriously wearing people down.
and first off, I’m 5’7, 5’11 in dance shoes, 170 pounds, broad shoulders and big hips and not small in any dimension. For a ballroom dancer, this means a lot of time spent learning the men’s parts. Especially in lifts.
I’ve had years now of guys kinda just going “lol heck naw” when told to lift me. I don’t admit this part much, but it makes me want to sink into the ground and die when every other girl can be lifted, but I’m just too big.
So this guy, smaller than me and really cute, shows up at auditions and I see this girl across the room getting tossed about like the beautiful pixie she is, and apparently I looked a little wistful because this boy asked me if I liked lifts.
“Oh. I… Uh… I’ve never really done the girls part. I’m a little big, haha…” (laugh it off, as usual.)
He looked me dead in the eye and then picked me up like a movie princess, bounced me in the air a few times, and set me down effortlessly while telling me whoever refused to lift me before was just being a lazy wimp.
I seriously doubt this boy will ever really get how much that meant to me. But, holy cow. Some faith in humanity just got restored.
Concept: one of those “mediocre white boy learns the secrets of ancient martial arts” movies, except the martial art in question is traditional Scottish kickboxing. The wise old mentor speaks with an indecipherable Highland accent and spends the whole film in a full kilt for no particular reason.
Hell yeah
I actually had to stop and ask myself if Scottish kickboxing was an actual thing for a moment. Like I legitimately questioned the possibility that maybe somebody up here developed an entire martial art and called it that.
And honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.
There’s some historical evidence that various forms of kickboxing were practiced as a sport in pre-19th Century Scotland, yes. I’m not specifically aware that it was ever employed in a non-sporting context, but… well.
So you’re saying I have ancestors who kickboxed in the highlands freezing their balls off on the bens, who are looking at me from the spirit world like they kickboxed long enough to fuck, and all for nothing?
