…and I feel like my not…going “traditionally forward” with /grievechronic\ until these guidebooks that have been part of the vision from book one… found their true form as outfitting tools…has always been rooted in me wanting to give my battalion the tools their asses are gonna need to dig up the landmines left in them that gc addresses. I know the baseline of who is being entrusted to me for gc. That i am called to equip.

I was attracted to him for how he works for years before the peachgate 🍑mess. But this…is different. He’s fucking openly battalion-minded.

It's in the protective clips of anyone who has worked under him on his movies. It's all over the joyful insanity his dojo sons and their dojo uncles reverberate with. It's even in how I've seen this man answer fanboy questions, in video interviews and in person, with the same verbose simplicity and sincerity. I've seen him dodge a snarkhit on stage and aikido pivot into spotlighting the crazy stunt boys under his wing for their excellence in front of people just learning those kids names.

I love him for it because I can see and have always seen that's a conscious choice with that guy. He chooses to move like that. Yeah, he's still a martial arts jock boy. He's still full-on a toothpick corner of the mouth, obviously can be a brute when he feels like it...guy. BUT he knows that these motherfuckers looking up to him are entrusted to him in a weird way. He'll break you like Pai Mei to get you to where you claim you wanna go in all that movie mess... but you'll hobble away with the five finger thingie if you do apply yourself to the journey YOU swore you wanted to take up.

I’d been celibate for YEARS when I met him. God had me so trussed up I didn’t even see he was walking around as the physical manifestation of the epitome of happily guttural, ride you for fackin’days, horny, heavenly me for another like 18 months. Yeah yeah yeah, he’s a fuckin genius too. Does his own thing etcetera. Like…he fits. All that. The specs. Below. Like it makes sense.

… But this …is different.

...But this Latest guy? Is even calling it a crush an insult? Do I feel 'crushing' to him? ...iono. But~ my Virgo animus and Anima are perversely entertaining themselves analyzing this premise in the background of today.
