12 Kingdoms huh. I've never heard of it but the artstyle is very interesting. But yeah, I'm not a digital artist(I should probably learn more digital art soon) but I enjoy sketching various things ranging from story concepts, stuff from anime, or video games especially the Fire Emblem series. I need to draw from life more often though... In any case, there's threads about art too? Sweet I'll check em out!

I really like this chant but I can't find a full version. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Durga_Puja_Dhak.ogg

Durga is a fierce warrior deity. I like to think Krishna and her get along well. I find it fun to believe in all the religions so I make that my belief. I wasn't raised religiously even though we come from a Muslim backround most of my family are atheists. My family came from the city so they had a more secular mindset. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4b/a8/8e/4ba88e35db845ea8259c5f723f6f355f.jpg

I would practice exercises like these a lot when I was doing pugilism. I'd perform them slowly with a focus on breathing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xWMZvuryHd8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sHuZUhmR_gw

I practiced wing chun with a Chinese teacher who grew up in Indonesia. He was a tough instructor but I learned a lot. I was ill for the last several years so I lost a lot of my strength. Since I've been getting better I want to practice qigong again. There is a nice teacher near me originally from Shanghai. Who teaches qigong mostly based on Master Wang Xiang Zhai's zhan zhuang and his uncle's qigong that's based on Tibetan meditation. I still like pugilism but I'm more interested in meditation these days. Mentioning soft arts is for the elderly makes me think of a master's book I read on Ba Gua Zhang lamenting how younger generations see his art as an old pastime. TwT I don't know much about Peng zu except that he lived a long time. It seemstto have some sexual energy practices like Mantak Chia teaches. Five animals is really nice, very popular. I like the crane cause it's graceful. Master Yang Jwing Ming explains the difference of soft and hard arts really well in this video at 1:36. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IkdSuCgQ98E&t=188s

Snakes and other deadly animals were actually always afraid of humans. The only reason they attack is in defense. Even sharks and crocodiles....they absolutely hate our smell or taste and don't even see us as food at all (unless they're desperate and super starving). We may be scared of them, but they're much more afraid of us than we are tbh. xD They just don't realize that we're weak compared to them, and see us as predators to them of sorts. So they do their best to fight back. Yeee....I always found that band funny. I mean, how their name is basically that of Genghis Khan, a.k.a. one of the most powerful and genius leaders and conquerors this world has ever seen, along with Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Attila the Hun~

Hmmm....whenever I hear about venomous animals such as scorpions and snakes. Apparently, the local people have always developed some sort of resistance to their poison. For example: When a local gets bitten, they still got like one day or a few hours to visit doctor. But when a foreigner gets it, they have barely minutes to receive the antidote. Is that true for you too?

Do ya also have some strong predators living in your region outside the cities? Doesn't really have to be cats. Snakes and marine animals also count. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6b/08/99/6b0899452c3b30244a475252ee35b879.gif
