Does anyone else ever think of the idea of Brooke and Jake Having A Thing at one point?

Brooke's current bf has just cheated on her with Chloe, who hooked up with him to cheat on Jake. Two birds with one stone kind of deal. The two vent (probably drunkenly) about how Chloe's so dramatic and cruel and blah blah blah, a lot of overly vicious stuff they probably don't mean because the wound is fresh and they're not entirely sober.

Somewhere along the way, Brooke kisses Jake without thinking and immediately regrets it. "I just kissed my best friend's ex, oh my God, she's gonna hate me, I can't believe I just did that," etc etc. Jake sees this as the bitter act of defiance that it is rather than anything deeper, and you know what? After all this time, maybe he'd like to indulge.

"I won't tell if you don't," he tells Brooke. Partially to comfort her, and partially to invite the sweetest kind of revenge they could possibly enact. Their minds are elsewhere the whole time, of course; they probably can't even commit to anything more than making out. Brooke resents that Jake has gotten to kiss the lips she couldn't, and Jake wishes that Chloe could look at him with half the fondness as she does with Brooke. Maybe Rich is in the back of his mind too, whether he'd actually admit such a thing or not.

Does anyone else think of that?

I think of that.

If I tell you this is a horror dance number it still won't prepare you. That last move was so terrifying even the judge was like "Let go! Let go!" If you told me they're actually possessed I'd believe you.

The music is a remix of the song Mere Dholna from the Bollywood movie Bhool Bhulaiyya, a remake of the classic Malayalam horror-comedy Manichitrathazhu. It's about a young bride that seemingly becomes possessed of Manjulika, a dancer of the ancient royal court whose tragic death has turned her into a vengeful spirit, one who evokes the wrath of the goddess Durga Kali. In the iconic scene that is repeated across remakes, the groom and his family discover his bride dancing in the dead of night in a manic, disassociative fugue, wearing a moth-eaten dancer's costume and a face smeared in kohl, ash and vermilion. She's hallucinating that she's Manjulika dancing carefree for the court with her lover. The upbeat music is deliberately incongruous with the pathos and creepiness of the scene in reality, especially as it crescendos in the bride's head to the moment when the king decapitates Manjulika's beloved in a fit of jealous rage.

This specific number is by the all-male troupe B Unique, performed for the Indian reality talent contest Hunabaarz. It's a modern fusion based on Bharatnatyam that turns up the creep factor by 200% and is basically a showcase of contortionism and synchronicity. One of the most perfectly choreographed and executed dances I have ever seen. Truly incredible!

The group is still taking their work across the world's talent shows. And yes, that guy is hypermobile enough to do that with his neck. XD

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

Being 30 is fun. I was discussing anime with a teen at work and asked her how much of bnha she had watched. She had trouble answering and wasn't sure how to approach it. I said "better question was who was your husbando" and she turned bright red before mumbling an answer. They never expect me to know how deep their love of anime boys runs....

Well I like it but it’s not very well written. Also it’s a visual mess. The plot doesnt make any sense and the creators suck and its politics oscillate from mildly problematic to frankly baffling. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. However. the character

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

I know you’re probably super busy but I HAVE to share this with someone. I found this absolutely insane shirt at my job (thrift store) and it’s been killing me to imagine Silco in it

You can't drop something like this to my askbox and not expect me to draw something
