remember that one fucking brony song that pissed everyone off because it was really catchy but it was a brony song
Slavic Cossack dancing known as Hopak
Warning: Do not try this at home unless you were born with super Slavic knee strength
THE GUY AT THE END
Ahahah it’s not just knee strength you need, friend. It’s thighs, ass, ankles, calves, you need everything from your waist down to be horrifyingly fit and toned for this.
Also core strength. So include the waist. Everything from the nipples down.
Don’t forget absurd back flexibility
how do I unlock the cat player job class
When I first posted this video a lot of people sent me messages asking if the anime it’s from, Oruorane the Cat Player, had a sub. Well, thanks to Orphan Fansubs, now it does! Download here: https://nyaa.si/view/1055755
Well as long as we’re talking about the ancient internet, who remembers this.
Everything movies taught me about archery is wrong. This is a complete mind-blower. 8D
If you are even remotely interested in archery or medieval combat, check this out, it’s just great!
OMFG EVERYONE PLEASE DROP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND WATCH IT RIGHT NOW O_O
HOLY HELL
Not only is this fascinating, there are a lot of images from art history here. It just goes to show that what you can learn from the past isn’t limited to facts you can know, but things you can do.
My favorite part?
He learned this doing research for LARPs (Live Action Role Playing):
Lars Andersen originally started using bow and arrow to fight in pretend battles during Larps (live action role play) events, where he played a soldier in a medieval-inspired army. While Larps can be about anything – the Danish/Polish Harry Potter inspired larp College of Wizardry (cowlarp.com) recently got world-wide media attention and there wasn’t a rubber sword in sight there – many Larps take place in fantasy worlds inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. And it was at one of these Larps, that Lars started to learn to shoot fast while moving.
In 2012, Lars Andersen released his video, “Reinventing the fastest forgotten archery”, where he showed how he had learned to shoot from old archery manuscripts. Using these old, forgotten techniques, Lars demonstrated how he was now the fastest archer on the planet, and after its release, the video got 3 million hits on YouTube in two days.
Since the 2012 video was released, Lars has studied and practiced, and he is now able to fire three arrows in 0.6 seconds – a truly stunning feat making him much faster than the legendary fictional archer Legolas (played by Orlando Bloom in the Lord of the Rings movies).
The time benchmark he was trying to achieve, according to the video, was the expectation of the speed at which “Saracen” archers were expected to shoot. In fact, most of the source material as far as I can see isn’t European.
A lot of the techniques described are also used in Mongolian Archery, which requires being able to shoot from horseback, and is traditionally practiced by men and women. You can see a video here.
Holy shit I want that in my book but who wouldn’t call it unrealistic???
Wild / Old God sighting.
Its fucking huuuge goddamn
And that’s why hitting one will definitely kill you, total your car, and mildly inconvenience the moose.
HAVE YOU LOT SEEN THIS INSURANCE AD I AM FUCKING SCREAMING
this will never fail to make me cry. this is pure musical/lyrical genius. she wrote this when she was 15 years old. 15. years. old.
How To Lower Your Voice - Tips From a Voice Actor
Okay, so let’s get one thing out of the way now: this is not overnight. You’ll have to discipline yourself to do this for weeks until you get your desired result. After some time it will just come naturally.
STEP 1:
Stand against a wall or door with your feet together and heels touching the wall. Stand up STRAIGHT. If your posture is impotent, then this ain’t happening.
(if you can’t stand, sit as straight as you can)
STEP 2:
RELAX. Don’t tense up your whole body, especially not your shoulders. This is so easy to do.
STEP 3:
Press the back of your neck against the wall (it’s fine if it doesn’t actually touch, we’re just working the muscles)
STEP 4:
Start speaking for 10 minutes. Find a magazine, book, article or even recite a monologue if you know any. You’ll notice your voice is already dropping two octaves.
STEP 5:
DRINK!! WATER!!!! If you feel your throat scatching or at all painful, STOP!! Take a break! And drink water, no ice.
STEP 6:
After ten minutes (or however long you can do) lay down flat. Keep your body straight. Relax your whole body. Try a visualisation where you relax from your feet up into your head. Doing this will give your throats a chance to cool down (it’s still a muscle!!)
**Bonus Tips**
HONEY - it coats your throats and protects it from damage. Use it before and/or after this exercise.
HOT TEA - I suggest ginger, but you can really pick whatever kind you want. As long it’s not coffee.
WATER!!!!
A CORK - if you’re wanting to go the extra mile, put a cork in your mouth and speak. This helps enunciation and can really help.
DON’T FORCE - if you force your voice to sound low it will sound very artificial
BE PATIENT - It’s gonna take time! Take it as a challenge.
I have tried humming while moving my head, singing to Panic! At The Disco and literally EVERY other thing to lower my voice and this is the only thing that has worked.
Just be safe, don’t hurt yourself!
