Plot

Ayşe is a young woman in Copenhagen whose parents want her to attend medical school because they wish for her a future with proper health insurance and entitlement to a pension. They also like to make sure she finds an appropriate husband.

She on the other hand considers her parents somewhat square and has her own plans. She is dedicated to Kung Fu. As a martial arts adept she receives recognition for doing something she enjoys.

Her family and her would-be in-laws resent her commitment for an exotic contact sport which regularly includes combat with men. All of them are worried about her neglecting school and getting a shady reputation.

When she falls in love with a young fighter named Emil the chances for her marriage with the man of her family's choice start to fade away.

Still her kin hasn't given in. There is Omar, a friend of the family, who is even more traditional than all the others, joins her club. He challenges her, intending to prove that her training is a waste of time. Ayşe has to stand up against him.

gollark: Not ALL webdevs are evil. I optimize my things for low resource use and make them run in-browser properly instead of Electron.
gollark: **The most gollarious response:**- pretending things- pretending there's some horrible name for it- implying it's badness- If they're profitable, you'll get some shit from people on the internet- blahblatantly passing it away- no sense.
gollark: I'm not sure what happens with that.
gollark: It really likes holoapioforms.
gollark: **The most gollarious response**:- make a cryoapiary-sized stack-???-???<|endoftext|>You can also do a dyson *with* a holoapiary, actually.<|endoftext|>Idea: a holoapiary-like hologram projector, which is capable of holoapioform-proofed.<|endoftext|>We should make a holoapiary-based AI.<|endoftext|>I think the holoapioapioform control system is a holoapiary, so it's not hard.<|endoftext|>https://i.redd.it/qfxjh21.jpgI don't think anyone was doing that, though.<|endoftext|>Also, it's actually a holoapioform.<|endoftext|>The holoapioform control system is a holoapiary, not a holoapiary.<|endoftext|>Well, not a holoapiary, how'd it work?<|endoftext|>I doubt it's a holoapiary, so I can't see them.<|end
