I like books. And some other things. But mostly books.

I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be;

Joan Didion, from “On Keeping a Notebook”, Slouching Towards Bethlehem

I’m literally zendaya reacting like he didn’t have to go that hard and yet..

Must always reblog

Sometimes you just need to watch again. Instant serotonin.

I love that his only regret about this is him not having done the routine in heels.

[twicksterart-deactivated2022040]

I wonder if this is what sealed the deal for Zendaya. Cause I get it.

When I WATCHED this one on tv, y'all!!!!! I loved watching LL’s reaction! I don’t think ANYONE was prepared for it, cuz I know I wasn’t.

And the young man does ballet!!!

[sidepartskinnyjeans-deactivated]

The key thing is he NAILS the routine and does it seriously, it’s not a joke choice. He does it with passion.

Completely agree with the above comment. This is what makes it so much better than some of the other performances that people consider good. (I’m particularly thinking of Channing Tatum’s performance here.)

Tom Holland didn’t seem like he was dressing in women’s clothes and dancing like a woman as a lighthearted gag done for laughs. Even if that’s what he intended (I have no idea), once he was out there on that stage, he played it seriously. He went out there and delivered a serious performance. It was intense, and he injected his legitimate (not exaggerated for laughs) sex appeal into the performance.

[wolfsmom1]

He was brilliant.

Literally every time I watch this I appreciate it more. More comments or more perspective or I just notice something else I didn’t before.

I will never not reblog this.

[lentilswitheverything]

imagine being the choreographer for the show

you’re used to dealing with people like chrissy teigan and serena williams, game for it sure but 0 dance training or experience and not really a performer (although i’ve still not figured out what it is chrissy teigan actually does so many I’m wrong about that? not important)

and then this guy comes up to you and says hey, i’m gonna be on the show. i went to stage school so i have literally no shame or performance anxiety, i’m a trained dancer in ballet tap and modern, i was billy elliot on the west end so you don’t have to worry about me not remembering the routine, and i’m in the best shape of my life because i’m spiderman right now, literally hit me with your absolutely worst i can take it

if i’d been them i’d have fucking burst into tears on the spot
