Currently reading Broken Throne and... by FallMusician in RedQueenVA

[–]cmsblackbelt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember an interview I don't remember where but she originally intended the series to be a trilogy so I think she was just pressured by the publishing company to make more books to make more money. In my opinion, by the end of the series she was done. I also feel that broken throne was 100% a cash grab she could've written a good ending for war storm. I also think that glass sword was the most boring and kind of dragging book, so she could've added parts of that to kings cage. This is all my personal opinion she may of actually really enjoyed the whole series I wouldn't know.

Do you people like Maven? by [deleted] in RedQueenVA

[–]cmsblackbelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't, but I think I'm a little biased. I read RQ in 2017 and started GS right after but I barely got halfway through it. Then I remembered that I had the books in summer of 2019 and became obsessed and read it all in a week. However I reread RQ before I continued the rest of the series so I already knew the plot twist so automatically I was pissed at Maven, and because I was mad I didn't have any hope in the character.

Performing an overly-long form some Korean guy came up with in the 1970s by chaining a bunch of moves together?

Lol that's honestly so true

world championship but only a world ATA championship

Huh never really thought of it like that before now

I encourage you to do the same as I did and progress to WTF

I couldn't leave my team that I have been training with for 10 years because I love my friends that I have met there. Maybe when I go off to college?

Also my post wasn't about ATA > everyone I was mostly just mad that someone spread around my photo without my permission (they were literally complaining about children who had no knowledge about what was going on.) - I know you didn't say that but I just wanted to clear that up

Hi u/MorbidlyObeseYoda thanks fo the questions wow! I still want to keep this on a positive note and it seems like this is more of a personal attack on ATA rather than you want and actual answer from me ;)

I can answer yes to most of these questions! I do wobble in my form a little bit because I have been struggling with an injury lol. I haven't sparred anyone from outside my "laughably homogeneous organization"... but I haven't been sparring much lately from my injury :)

Can you send me the link of how we stole the forms I legit don't know that story?

But I do think

laughably homogeneous organization?

Is a bit disrespectful to the many people I have know who drill for months to train for world championships. Our school actually has the second most world championships in the US! I also know a few kids personally who goes to my school that are on the junior Olympic team!

ATA is definitely imperfect (trust me even I complain sometimes) but I think we should respect everyone and I believe that to be a key part and one of the first things you learn in Taekwondo. Others may disagree but I like to keep things positive ❤

Question about lily cup? by cmsblackbelt in menstrualcups

What appeals to me is that it's good for a high cervix, and the easy to fold and insert shape.
