"In an enourmous tree, deep in a forest, hidden in a mountain range, there lives a colony of Buffins. These creatures are objectively adorable, have immense cognitive capacity, and have demonstrated tool use and social organization. However, if they ever step foot outside the tree they instantly die. They have no meaningful interactions with any other components of the ecosystm, and their presence is effectively zero-impact on the rest of the world. Each Buffin is about a 30cm (one foot) cubed.

Every one in a trillion Buffins is born with the capacity to make a choice about the growth of their home tree. They can either double the height or the radius of the tree. The tree doesn't otherwise grow. This Buffin is called the Holy Buffin Emperor, Grower of the Tree, Maker of Destiny, Conquerer of Space and Time. "

"In Submission Grappling and Mixed Martial Arts, a ""Guillotine"" is a choke submission in which one competitor, positioned underneath the other, wraps their neck with the bicep on the back and the forearm on the front, before grabbing the other hand and squeezing. ""Jumping Guillotine"" or jumping gilly is when both fighters are standing and one grabs a guillotine, pulling their opponent on top of them. This generally has a low percentage of success and, if it fails, leaves the fighter who attempted it in a terrible position with their opponent on top of them and usually with their arms burned out.
