21, She/her, Just wishing for my own fairytale adventure and to preform ballet on a stage for lots of people.

When I was a kid, I always imagined there were people in the traffic lights. The amount of lights was the amount of limbs. So if it was the standard three, they had a head, an arm and a leg. If it was five, they had all limbs. Each stoplight person would control with a button the color that the traffic light showed. Even imagined love lore between a few of them one day.

This is just a random post tbh.

For all my beginner ballerinas or fellow ballerinas returning to ballet, this is a reminder to be patient and find the good in your current abilities. Even if you don’t think so, there is beauty in your current skill.

Here is two minutes of me working on pirouettes from a few months ago. I did ballet for 10 years, and have wanted to go back but couldn’t for various reasons. I am finally at a place I can practice in my living room and hopefully soon a studio.

If you can see talent in that video, you can see it in your own ballet skills too. 🩷🩷

After we got some snow last week, I watched The Nutcracker Prince with my baby. She loved it, which made me smile since it's my favorite version of The Nutcracker (especially since it's very faithful to the original book.)

So here's some Hans/Clara art. Enjoy!

O.P this is so cute and also what got me to watch this movie. I love it, as a girl who loves the original book, for all its weirdness!!

I'm on episode 31 of Season 1 of Mermaid Melody and I have a thought.

What if the reason that the Dark Lovers and the Black Beauty Sisters are so reactive to the mermaid princesses song is because the songs are always sung together, aka in harmony, and maybe because mermaid princess are creatures of harmony, and the Dark Lovers and Black Beauty Sisters are creatures of dissonance? Like, they are creatures of discord and chaos, hence why they can breathe underwater despite looking human and being called Water Demons. Because they are creatures of dissonance and disorder and such, harmony hurts them because it is the opposite of what literally makes them up? Hence why they react so strongly whenever the mermaid princesses sing, because they always sing together and on-key and in harmony. It is also why the Black Beauty Sisters songs hurt them, because it's from creatures who are the opposite of what the mermaid princesses are as creatures, which is creatures of harmony and peace? It's just a thought but I'm really liking the show so far! : )

I love the story of The Nutcracker, more specifically the original short story by Eta Hoffman which inspired the ballet. The book is 14 chapters and 58 pages. The ballet is 2 acts, with each act being about an hour. Something to note is that there are other ballets, such as Swan Lake and Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty that are more than 2 acts, and are a little over than 2 hours or 2 hours and 30 minutes. The Nutcracker ballet is a good ballet and I do love it. It’s what inspired my love of ballet and dancing ballet in the first place. However, from a story perspective and an adaptation perspective, it isn’t bad, but isn’t good. This ends up hurting some characters, mostly the Nutcracker Prince himself. He does not have much personality in the ballet because there is no room to explore it. In the original story? He is sweet and attentive and devoted and loyal. He cares deeply for the other toys and Marie and wants to protect them. He feels a small disdain towards Drosselmeyer and can get a little cold when Drosselmeyer is mentioned. He is prone to moments of grouchiness and frustration when he feels that the show some citizens in the snowy forest performed for him and Marie was terrible and he apologizes to her. With the ballet version, he is shown to be caring and sweet and a little protective, but that’s really it. In ballets with more than one act, you usually have a few different scenes where the plot progresses. This is where I get into how the ballet as an adaptation of the story isn’t as good as it could be. There are many scenes in Swan Lake, where even in just the first 2 acts, the same length as the entire Nutcracker ballet, there is so much character exploration and emotional and sweet scenes. So the length of the ballet is not really a viable excuse, in my opinion. It even hurts Marie’s character. In the ballet, her big moment is her throwing her slipper at the Mouse King so he turns to her and Nutcracker has a chance to finish him. In the short story, the toys lose the first battle and so the Mouse King makes Marie give up some of her Christmas gifts and other cherished things with the threat that if she doesn’t, he will eat Nutcracker. He then will eat and chew on whatever he makes her give. This distresses her but she does it anyway. She then tells Nutcracker about it after the third night of it happening, and cries about how he may ask to eat her after everything else is gone and then nothing will be there to protect Nutcracker. He then has a short bout of coming to life where he tells her how to help him, which she previously begged him to do while crying. In the story, she’s selfless and she is quiet and a daydreamer and she worries deeply about those she cares about. In the story, after Marie throws her shoe at the Mouse King but the toys must retreat, she ends up fainting after getting a deep cut in her arm from the glass of the toy cabinet which broke and she must rest for a few days. While bedridden, Drosselmeyer tells her a long and mostly not needed backstory about a few things, but he also mentions how the Nutcrackers curse came to be. In the ballet, we don’t get an explanation as to how. It was actually the Mouse Kings mother who cursed him after the Nutcracker, at that point human, stepped on her neck when walking backwards to free someone else from their curse. (This is the needless backstory I briefly touched upon.) Drosselmeyer also gets some depth but it’s mostly how he got from the Land of Sweets where he was in the royal court to Germany, where the story takes place. 

To wrap things up, I do not hate the way the ballet shows the story. I really do like it! But when you compare it and really think about it as an adaptation, it lacks in area which other ballets show is possible to be bountiful in.

I know I’ve posted some of my love of this man before, but you don’t know the extent of my love. I love him so much and if he was real, I’d be his wife with a career in psychology and a hobby of ballet. Perhaps I’d even be the mother to his child/children. I love his devotion and that he can feel things deeply. I love his intelligence and his wit. I love him.

Not one day goes by in which I don't think how much my quality of life would improve if only I could marry Vlad Dracula Tepes... not one day!

[lreaper127]

REAL! SO FUCKING REAL! Because no man will ever treat me as well as he would. I could fine the love of my life, and he still wouldn't come as close in my heart to this man. Like- He'd be so sweet, and he'd love and respect me in ways no others have. I love him so much

Y'all sleep on Marissa Meyer. If you love Stephanie Garber, you'll love Marissa.

I ESP recommend the Renegades Trilogy, Heartless, and the Gilded duology. The characters? WELL WRITTEN The romance? ADORABLE Plot? SO GOOD AND THE TWISTS WORK (For the most part) The friend groups? SOLID AND THERE'S FOCUS ON THAT AND NOT JUST THE ROMANCE BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS Seriously, I love her work, and I highly recommend her, esp for Stephanie Garber fans

More Scarlett Dragna because I LOVE this cosplay! I feel so good in it!
