Some character archetypes I’m fr obsessed with:

Without a useless prelude, lemme jump into the content.

⚡ The morally gray villain

The one you’re supposed to hate, but you’re too busy psychoanalyzing them like a clown.

They’ve helped some people by accident and destroyed some other people on purpose.

You look at them like: "sir/ma'am please stop being interesting I’m trying to be normal.🙏"

Example: Soo-won (Yona of the Dawn)

⚡ The fallen hero

Ugh, these ones ruin me.

They started out soft, hopeful, doing their best,

then life came in like: "what if he gets traumatized for the sake of character development?"

Now they’re still doing their best… just in a completely different direction.

Examples: Obito (Naruto), Geto (JJK)

Side note: Obito and Geto ending up in heaven means I’m getting VIP access too. If those two mfs got in, I’m basically a saint lmao.

⚡ The necessary evil

The "I'll become the villain so no one else has to" type.

The type who reads The Prince once and suddenly thinks they’re doing humanitarian work by committing war crimes.

Cold, calculating, kinda right sometimes.

Examples: Pain (Naruto), Moriarty (Moriarty the Patriot)

source: pinterest

⚡ The ‘perfection by control’ archetype

They tried reform and/or diplomacy(probably), didn’t work...

Now they’re like:

"Okay so I’m just gonna fix the entire world myself. Nobody breathes without my permission.'

Lowkey terrifying. Highkey iconic.

Examples: Madara (Naruto), Light Yagami (Death Note)

⚡ The mad scientist

These mfs know way too much.

Everyone hates them.

"Morals? Never heard of 'em."

They’re chasing the answer to that one question like it’s a coupon code that expires tomorrow.

Honestly I respect their commitment.💀

Plus... Their unserious moments get me every time lol.

Examples: Kenjaku (JJK), Echidna (Re:Zero), Orochimaru (Naruto)

💬 Last side note:

Yeah yeah, I know characters don’t fit cleanly into categories.

But hey, this is Tumblr, a place to vibe, overthink, and morally justify fictional war criminals, right?

Comment your favorite characters and archetypes if you'd like to!!<333

Barbie Fun Fact

Barbie ballet movies vs real life ballet.

For some lay people on the subject, in ballet there is a specific type of lacing for the straps of the shoes, and in today's post we will check the laces of the shoes in Barbie ballet movies!

You may be asking yourself "how do you mean correct lashing?" The image below will answer that:

Without further ado, let's get to the shoes!

Nutcracker, Swan Lake and Pink Shoes, They are correct! (Apart from the fact that the pink shoes are the wrong color, and in the movie we know why)

And we have the 12 Dacing Princesses

But, this may have an explanation! As we know 12 Dancing Princesses is not a ballet originally, and this may have reflected the ninth film. In addition, the wrong way of lacing the shoes can mean the way that the 12 princesses are different and more independent, not following rules, as they are shown in the film, being treated like savages, without label.

Do you like this Fun Fact? Heart, reblog and follow me for more! 🩰🌷

A theory about Merv

I have a theory about Mervyn Pumpkinhead. I’d say it’s a headcanon but it’s more a theory.

According to the tale of Stingy Jack (the origin of the jack-o-Lantern) we carve Jack-o-lanterns to drive away old Jack and other wandering ghosts. The Jack-o-lantern is a protection ward against supernatural threats from entering your home. One superstition has it that if you blow out the Jack-o-lantern before midnight on Halloween you invite evil spirits to enter your home for the entire year. It’s only safe to blow it out after midnight. Another superstition is if you let the Jack-o-lantern burn out naturally you invite good luck for the entire year and have warded your home against evil for the full year. It is especially good luck if it manages to burn until after sunrise. In The House with a clock in its walls Pumpkin Jack-o-lanterns are used as protection wards all year long. Jack-o-lanterns, at their heart, are symbols of protection. Now, because we see Mervyn as a Mervyn Turniphead in The Sandman story The Tempest, it’s very clear that his Jack-o-lantern head isn’t just for the aesthetic. In his Turnip form, that is an old school Irish Jack-o-lantern. That is a pre-Halloween decoration (use for any time of year) Protection symbol against supernatural threats.

So even in present day when Mervyn has a modern Pumpkin Jack-o-lantern head, Mervyn is a walking, talking, protection ward against supernatural threats. He’s not just the groundskeeper or janitor. He’s a line of defense. This does explain why Mervyn stands up to The Furies (The Kindly Ones) the way he does.

And this is also one of the many reasons I, myself, love Jack-o-lanterns. They aren’t just symbols of Halloween. They are kind of comforting in their protective light.

Akram Khan’s Giselle for the English National Ballet

staticsnowfall

giselle and albrecht

🪦 ˚✧₊⁎

above are alessandra ferri and mikhail baryshnikov as giselle and albrecht, respectively. ferri is one of the greatest ballerinas in modern history, being one of eleven women granted the highest ranking and rarest title, prima ballerina assoluta. baryshnikov was the preeminent male dancer of the 1970s and 1980s, usurping rudolf nureyev off his “throne” as the most famous defected soviet danseur of the era. he is still considered one of the greatest danseurs of modern times.

giselle is a two act romantic ballet created in 1841, with choreography by jean coralli and jules perrot. it is inspired by heinrich heine’s “de l'allemagne” and victor hugo’s “fantômes”.

the first act focuses on a blossoming romance between the peasant giselle, and the duke — albrecht — who is disguised as a peasant in order to join in on the fun of the village harvest festival. upon the arrival of albrecht’s fiancée, the noblewoman bathilde, giselle learns of albrecht’s true identity, becoming inconsolably distraught and succumbing to insanity. she dances erratically, and eventually stabs herself with albrecht’s sword. her suicide leads to her burial deep in the forest, on unhallowed ground.

in act two, giselle’s spirit is inducted into the wilis by their queen, myrtha. the wilis are vengeful ghosts, women who were betrayed by their lovers on mortal earth. meanwhile, albrecht arrives at giselle’s resting place, bearing lilies, weeping over her and the guilt he feels. the wilis emerge, and giselle forgives albrecht for his actions. however, myrtha, filled with disdain and resentment towards all men, forces the nobleman to dance to death. the two lovers are separated both literally and metaphorically by the mortal and immortal planes — giselle dances languidly, having all eternity to express her emotions; while albrecht is quick, desperate to escape the paranormal pull to his death by the rapid exertion of dance. fortunately, giselle’s love for the duke spares him at sunrise. this act frees her from the hatred myrtha and the wilis share, all returning to their graves as day breaks. the ballet concludes at sunrise with giselle tenderly bidding farewell to albrecht, before returning to the grave to rest peacefully for all eternity.
