Brief Interview with Christina Clark
This month's issue of Dance magazine has a brief interview with Christina Clark, a member of NYCB's corps de ballet.

When Christina Clark saw her first Nutcracker performance at age 5, she didn’t immediately aspire to the roles of Sugarplum Fairy or Dewdrop—instead, she was fixated on the dozens of children in the cast. “I was determined to become one of those kids onstage,” she remembers. “Performing was the only goal.” Clark, a New York City native, was accepted into the School of American Ballet at age 7, became an apprentice with New York City Ballet in 2016, and was promoted to the corps de ballet in 2017.
With her elongated limbs and polished port de bras, Clark is a remarkably self-possessed dancer who uses her 5′ 10 1/2″ frame to fully inhabit every choreographic moment and musical note. She debuted in a slew of roles in 2023, including the Tall Girl in George Balanchine’s “Rubies” and the lead woman in Haieff Divertimento, which hadn’t been performed by NYCB since 1994. As more opportunities continue to come her way, Clark is determined to squeeze as much as possible out of each experience: “My overarching goal is always to continue growing—in my technique, my artistry, and my approach to new roles.”
Embracing the Unfamiliar “I love exploring different movement styles, even if they’re not my forte. When I was rehearsing Justin Peck’s sneaker ballet The Times Are Racing, I had to tackle questions like ‘How does my weight need to be distributed differently in a sneaker versus a pointe shoe?’ or ‘How can I syncopate the steps and accent certain moments that reveal different aspects of the music?’”
Using Imagination as a Tool “As an English major at Columbia University, I love storytelling. When preparing for a role, I imagine a character or story to inform my movement. Even for something plotless like Haieff Divertimento or ‘Rubies,’ there’s a certain flavor to each part. It’s helpful to think about steps in terms of analogies and images, ranging from moving my hands through water to embodying a strand of seaweed in the ocean.”
A Recurring Pinch-Me Moment “Dancing Balanchine’s Serenade always feels like a career-reaffirming experience. I’ve performed it for many seasons, and every time, it hits me that I’m living in the tableau I dreamed of for so long. It’s such a community-based ballet, and one of my favorite things about this career is connecting with the dancers around me—they’re my best friends and greatest sources of inspiration. To dance as part of a group, especially in a ballet containing so much meaning and joy, will always be a highlight.”

Missing the days where the Jedi Order used moxie, the power of Friendship™, a good deal of wit, and a lack of common sense to get shit done in the galaxy
#they had their problems and politics#but imagine being empathically told by the universe to go cause helpful mischief#no idea why but you just gotta#would love a show that follows everyday Jedi and Corps members getting nudges to change some small thing#and the final episode is a Rube Goldberg machine of a solution to some huge galactic problem#star wars#jedi#jedi order#obi wan kenobi#ahsoka tano#plo koon#yoda#mace windu#jocasta nu#quinlan vos#aayla secura#cal kestis#kanan jarrus#ezra bridger#depa billaba#obi wan star wars#star wars ahsoka#star wars prequels#luke skywalker#shaak ti

Pssst. Hey. Ufotable. How about Kaigaku focus for filler?
#freaking Kaigaku#seeing context for Zenitsu punching the other Corp members would be great#seeing hints of Kokushibo being busy would be nice too#but we could even flesh out Himejima's past a bit more#give it that Muichiro flashback treatment#guuuuuuuh the Muichiro flashback was so good

I was listening to So Much (For) Stardust and accidentally had too many thoughts in one sitting so we have another AU concept. I don't have a solid name yet so I've just been calling Team Supernova AU.
Long story short:
Ghetsis freezes over Unova's major cities, taking most survivors hostage to join Team Plasma, and leaving several thousands dead from the frost
Emmet, Elesa, and others try fending off the Plasma Frigate in Nimbasa but ultimately lose with injuries (Emmet got frozen on his right side)
Emmet takes as many survivors as he can into the tunnels, later joining other groups to his and forming Team Supernova in resistance to Team Plasma
Ingo went missing about a year prior to all of this, so Emmet has already spent a lot of time alone. The only pokemon he has left is Ingo's Chandelure, as the rest did not survive the invasion. He's generally very cold and shut off emotionally as a result, and doesn't really express himself like he used to.
I'll drop more details later, right now the AU in early concept stages so it's essentially a bundle of "what would this be like" and "what if this happened" and "this could be cool". If I have time I'll drop some of the other uniform designs later. Anyways have a good night, see ya.
#submas#submas au#au#emmet#subway master emmet#emmet pokemon#kudari#fanart#Team Supernova AU#a him#I might do the “Death Zone” doodle comic for this AU#long story short: Plasma members caught within Supernova territory get their shredded uniforms hung from the city gates#It's mostly an intimidation tactic on Supernova's part but a large chunk of them do come from dead members 👁👁💦#it's basically just a warning that once you cross the perimeter‚ you are fair game for the patrol squads#There's also the little details/fun add ins#like how working the supply corps is considered the absolute worst‚ most backbreaking job in the team#because everything is transported manually (trains got shut down)‚ so members have to basically drag things through the tunnels#by hand‚ for weeks‚ nonstop#Also how electric type pokemon are the most sought after since all the power is directed to Ghetsis' main city and some key places#so having a portable source of energy is invaluable#which is to say every day Emmet is looking for more joltiks to replace the ones lost#anyways it's late‚ I can't think of much else to write#have a good night and i'll see you later

I never get enough of Soranik Natu using her green lantern ring to practice her medical abilities, especially when she's doing it for free on the slums and poor neighborhoods of Korugar, healing people who otherwise would have no way to access medical treatment. That's one of the coolest ways to use the green lantern energy to help others
From Green Lantern Corps #5 & #10 (2007)

Pom Headcannons (+ art)
These are my headcannons for this character, if you don’t agree that’s totally fine. I just felt like sharing :)
Since I’ve heard people refer to her as both Lisa and Pom, I’ve decided that her full name is Elisabeth Pomeranian, with Pom as a preferred nickname
HATES the nickname ‘Lisa.’ It reminds her of home. Yeah she doesn’t like her family that much.
Loves dogs, and was ecstatic when she found out she would constantly be working with one in the rescue corps
Was and is a beach girl. Karut has a rather hot climate with plenty of beaches. She has tan skin and freckles as a result of staying in the sun all day. She also constantly looks sunburned
Is pretty fuckin strong. Growing up around beaches has resulted in her being a really strong swimmer, and she can lift around 3 times her own body weight if she wanted to. Shepherd and Dingo were absolutely HUMBLED the first time they saw her in action, as she’s not someone who looks strong at first glance.
contrary to how Olimar and Louie appear to be some kind of Bad luck magnet, Pom is like a lucky charm. She’s not incredibly lucky, but she was lucky enough to find Shepherd almost immediately after finding Collin, among other small things like getting to shelter just moments before a storm, or finding a lucky coupon for her favorite restaurant on the street out of nowhere.
she’s one of those people who look cute and dainty but can and will kick your ass
If she had to pick a favorite Pikmin, she wouldn’t be able to, but she would tell you that she likes that the blues can swim with her
She likes to work out with dingo
her and Bernard have a sister/brother type relationship. They spend a lot of time together and often go eat together. They also act as each other’s wingman should either of them get into a relationship.
she gets pretty scary when she’s mad. Like she even freaks out those she’s not mad at. Her usual peppy tone deepens into growls, and her eyes narrow into slits.
#Pikmin#pikmin fanart#headcanon#pikmin pom#pikmin 4#Sorry this is long#ill do the other rescue corps members at some point#Don’t know when though#Oh well#who should I do next?

so far, i think muichiro's episode in the hashira training arc is my fave. this is not only because he's my fave hashira (and just like me), but they added a lot of his personal quirks in to flesh out not only muichiro, but also the demon slayer corps members and the hashira training arc overall. it was nicely done.
#mads makes a text post#demon slayer#muichiro tokito#kny spoilers#for example -- muichiro's paper craft hobby was executed well#and i love that it integrated the demon slayer corps members as well#it was a nice touch to everything#btw i do love how the anime is overall fleshing out the hashira training arc#like i don't mind that it's short in the manga#but i love what is added to it as well#it really helps with characterization and makes the season more enjoyable#this is for both anime-only and manga reader audiences#i also love ep 2 because it added more tamayo scenes (which helps bridge to what is to come)#also the shinobu (and kanao) scenes :)
