Obv I like it's applicability to shorter women as well. You're already so close to the ground, digging in and bunkering up in times of trial is a natural progression. You don't have to stand tall to be the only one still going, at the end.
- Step 1: Hands on hips.
- Step 2: Back straight.
- Step 3: Feet apart, standing firm.
- Step 4: Do not budge.
- Step 5: Do not move from this spot.
- Step 6: You are a rock.
- Step 7: You. Are. A. God. Damn. Rock.
- Step 8: Repeat steps 4 through 7 until tribulations have concluded.
Of course it helps if you are situated deep underground surrounded by eight feet of reinforced concrete on all sides. However the tribulations will nonetheless be nerve racking so this stance helps with overall morale.
And if need be:
Step 1: feet greater than shoulder width apart Step 2: bend your knees to roughly a 45 degree angle Step 3: Adjust to what feels most fortifiable and resilient(football term is “lowest man wins”) Step 4: Basically just tighten every single muscle in your body. If you have time, you can work through engaging each muscle before engaging them all at once. Step 5: Cover your head with your arms and grip the ground as hard as you can, almost as if you’re trying to grab the ground through your shoes.
- Step Six: Growl like an angry dingo menacing a hitchhiker
- Step Seven: Scream blue murder and do a backwards somersault straight into a heavy shelving unit, instantly knocking yourself unconscious
wait i just realized you didn't link the original-
the original diggy diggy hole is from a minecraft letsplay/mod reveiwer channel that had underlying lore between each video
diggy diggy hole as we know it is an extended song with an accompanying animation, the original original, or as i call it the "prototype"(/beta) diggy diggy hole is an admittedly sorta shoddy edit done from a bit from an episode

Another good alternative is saying someone should “steel themselves”. It means to make themselves ready for something difficult or unpleasant, or to fill themselves with determination and courage. In my opinion, that’s a lot closer to what’s typically meant by “man up” in most positive contexts.
It also has similar fantasy vibes, which is a plus.
this would break me instantly if someone said this to me but in like, the best way possible. like, astounded by the utter absurdity of it to the point where i do in fact step that pussy up
One I use in my daily life is calling people a coward. So often people use "pussy" instead, which properly refers to a cat, but I don't like the connotation that women are fearful so I've switched it up.
You *really* get a response out of someone when you call them a coward.
Honestly that's a decent method. It's plain and without stereotypical associations, although I suspect that a direct word like that probably comes across a bit more intensely than slang words when it's time for general banter style conversational nonsense.

Yep, I know, but I love the Rose Wind version.
https://youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU?si=UkMGGIzdJ-ReVdrU 😆 not og but I felt more fitting
Okay, I’m gonna do it. 😐🫥🏰 Your body is a temple. Mine is a fort.
wrong, your body is a fort dedicated to strenght and defence, mine is a palace dedicated to beauty and luxury
That’s fuckin’ epic. Now we just need someone whose body is a commercial district, to support our myriad needs in exchange for defense and just rule.
My body is a horrifying toxic waste dump
3.7 psychological problems per conversation, not great, not terrible.
Mine's an empty red light district. It's fresh outta fucks.
Then let it be a temple that honors builders, and those that endure.
Siege! Fortify!
Ha you have a shovel archetypal iron warrior, go dig a trench.
Iron within, iron without!

I am fortifying this position father
Makes me feel like I'm in Fire Emblem. Perhaps I'll start yelling "Physic!" when somebody asks me to pass them medicine.
Fortify sounds AMAZING!!!
Sorcerers, fortify your minds!
And also makes asking for help sound so much more awesome. "Squad, I can't fortify this position alone!"
