Dark Horse

Who are your dark horses for this season?

A lot of people assume TDA Vegas top 3 will include Sylviewinn, Savannah and Stella. Im surprised that I havent seen Lucias name mentioned much. I think Lucia should definitely be in there. Perhaps even as a frontrunner. But I am also surprised that I havent seen anyone really talk about Madisyn Amos. She was top 10 last year and is only getting stronger. She also had a top 3 finals solo last year which proved she can do more than just jazz.

I think the juniors need to look out for Mika Takase. She is my dark horse this season. Not for best dancer. Just as someone who I dont htink a lot of poeple are looking out for. Mika had a good season last year but came out swinging this year with wins over some top contenders. I think Anita Rodriguez will surprise some people in Orlando. I think Stars has a shot at having a first year Junior take teh title two years in a row.

Ill post later about my dark horses for teens and seniors.

Any info on the new convention supposed to be opening?

Break the Floor got sold to the new owner and apparently the old owner is opening a new convention that’s why all the good teachers left this year? Anyone got any info or tea on that?

[dancemomdiva5678]

Everleigh’s solo was not worthy of 2nd place:

1. Lack of flexibility-not all the way in the splits and leap was very bad.

2. Bad feet-so many flat and flexed feet at middle and end of solo.

3. Rushed-the jumps and movement looked very rushed.

Hate to say it, but her solos were better last year at pave. It’s early in the season so she will probably clean it up, but 2nd place as a first year junior is not deserved for that solo.

Btf biased again.

going insane thinking about the harrow and palamedes friendship. harrow, who has never met another necromancer her age forming a bizarro 3D chess rivalry while pal worries about her safety at every possible turn. harrow, who is up to her eyebrows in paranoia and secrecy, trusting the sixth house with gideon unconscious and hurt, letting them into the ninth house quarters unsupervised. if “i cannot conceive of a universe without you in it” is goth for i love you, “death first to vultures and scavengers” has got to be goth for i love you (platonic). pal’s first reaction when harrow comes into his bubble in the river is to scoop her up in a hug, and at this point she doesn’t remember anything about him because cutting out all her memories of gideon is impossible without cutting out memories of the sixth, but she still makes him a skelehand to inhabit anyway. when harrow’s memories are finally whole, she tells dulcinea she couldn’t face pal knowing that his pen pal girlfriend died on her account, but the next time she “faces” him, palamades’s soul is in someone else’s body and harrow’s body is full of nona’s soul. he spends six months protecting and caring for harrow’s body (and nona obv), believing in the possibility of bringing her back to it the same way cam believed in him. “god, do you know i miss harrow terribly.” and by the time harrow comes back to her body at the very end of ntn, pal is gone forever, fully pauled. the last time harrow and palamades see each other as their complete selves is in canaan house, alive and unlyctored. two of the smartest and loneliest people in the solar system meet each other in the worst of circumstances and spend the rest of the story dancing around each other as fragments of themselves, trying to care about each other in the interim but never fully meeting like they did the first time. a friendship made almost entirely of missing the other person. “do you know i miss harrow terribly.” god. i need to lie down

Here's a Boothill thought: if his lover ever cheers him on during a fight, he gets super pumped and starts showing off. A lot.

Heck, it's not even an intense battle anymore. You're watching some poor guy getting tossed around like a cartoon character while Boothill makes a show for you.

YES ABSOLUTELY!!

If Boothill notices you're watching him fight, duh! Cheering on him, even - he feels his body getting filled with adrenaline, and boy, he does deliver you a show you deserve!

Once the angelic voice of yours reaches his ears, Boothill wastes no time - he readjusts his hat and takes the grass blade out of his mouth, fully spreading his arms before turning around to look you in the eyes, "watch me closely, sweet pea!" A pistol emerges from his left arm, "Don't ya dare take those pretty eyes off of me!"

And well, you can't even take your eyes off of him, because watching that poor dude getting absolutely demolished by Boothill almost makes you feel bad. Except the cowboy doesn't even feel tired, even if the battle took hours already, no - it's barely the beginning.

And he shows. Off. SO. Much. He's kicking them so hard they end up flying, and before they even have a chance to see the floor again, Boothill's lips part from yours, a familiar shade of red flashes in his eyes and poof! He's back to beating them up again, flashing probably the juiciest poses the aeons have seen.

The more impressed you are, the more joy he feels - except at this point, it's almost animalistic - he spits out bullets like crazy, occasionally sending you a wink to give your heart a familiar, warm squeeze.

I woke up with red eyes from the hours and hours of watching the junior Best Dancer competition on my computer yesterday. I’m not saying that these are the top 10, but these solos are the one that really stood out to me. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of them are top 10. The level of talent this year for the juniors is something we have never seen before.

Bella Charnstrom

Lilly Anderson

Skylar Wong

Brooklyn Ward

Francesca Jen

Kelsie Jacobson

Tayah Kilmuck

Finley Ashfield

Kylie Lawrence

Aria Du

Emily Polis

Mika Takase

Which solos stood out most for you? Any from this list? Any not on this list? I’d love to hear what the chatter is out there.

[hotrodmccoolgal]

No Promises.

No Demands.

Love is a Battlefield.

FIGHT SCENE (that came to me while sick and slightly out of it so bear with me if it sounds CRAZYYYY)

Jazz is fighting some villain. Villain tries to use her dead brother as emotional collateral. She ignores it, seemingly unaffected, and continues to fight.

At some point the villain will be almost defeated, awaiting the final blow. They try one final plea to the red haired woman defeating them, “What would your brother say?”

At that moment, a boy falls through the ceiling, landing on the ground in front of the woman with a smug smile on his face. “I’D SAY -Actually wait hold on a sec.”

The boy gently tugs on the woman’s foot. “Jazz c’mere!” He loudly whispers.

She lets out an irritated sigh, says “Fine.”and hops over until her foot is lightly resting on his stomach. It’s almost picturesque. Her standing triumphantly on the boy who has now dramatically put his hand to his head.

He cries out (with a shit eating grin on his face), “OVER MY DEAD BODY!”

Villain: …

Danny: …

Villain: …

Danny: GET IT? Because I’m DEAD???

Jazz: “Ugh, you’re SO dramatic.”

Danny: Eh, it was funnier in my head.

Villain: …But he’s not dead?!

Danny: Would a LIVE person be able to do THIS? *does something completely normal and human*

Villain: …

Danny: …

Villain: yes.

Danny: Dammit. How about THIS? *does another completely normal human thing*

Villain: …

Danny: …

Villain: …also yes.

Danny: You’ve gotta be shitting me.

Jazz: Just soup them already!

Danny: No no! I will figure this out! How about THIS?

Villain: Yes but WHY would you WANT TO?!

Danny: Ugh Fine. What about this one??

Villain: …I personally don’t know how to do that, but yes that is something a person could do.

Danny: Really? It’s easy! Here, let me show you!

Jazz: …

Jazz: I’m going home.

Oh yeah I colored the sketch today inbetween class breaks. Truly it was a necessity. Now hope you enjoy observing the utter despair of one pathetic T.V powerless to control his own puppets
