watched night in paradise which was generic yet fun (i love the genre and already watched a bunch of park hoon-jung films before) but the one scene i can't get out of my head is jeon yeo-been's character being in so much physical pain she doesn't know what to do so uhm tae-goo's character just holds out his hand for her to bite into and she does, all while he's driving. somebody understood the assignment.

Definitely not me towards a schoolmate of mine today:

MC Gets in a Fight

You physically could not stand to listen to another word spouted by the lesser demon walking in front of you on the way home. They were complaining about the exchange program messing with their studies and the waste of time, space, and resources that the exchange students were taking up. They continued by stating that the House of Lamentation and Purgatory Hall were being misused and abusing their ruling power. They joked with their friend that Diavolo and the student council were fools for entertaining the angels and humans. Effectively bad mouthing everyone you had come to cherish. Without a second thought, you pounced.

The demon took the early advantage with their sweeping tail, talon-like nails and tough skin. They had  you pinned to the ground and punched at your head. Their first hit landed near your mouth before you started blocking. You tasted blood and grunted as they hit your defending forearms. They spit on you as they got off you, then kicked your side for good measure before joining their friends for a laugh.

You pushed yourself up and laughed along. With a wipe of your mouth, you knew you at least had a busted lip. You smiled through the pain, “That’s all you got after all that bragging?”

The demon scowled and stomped back towards you to tower over you. Even the “lesser” demons were big. “You need a lesson in knowing your place, human.”

“Make my day,” you offer without backing down.

The demon growled and wound up their arm to strike the side of your head. You ducked down to miss the swing and punched up into their stomach. Their tough skin hurt your knuckles but they doubled over with a gasp. Taking the opportunity, you punched wildly trying to get in as many punches as you could. The demon stumbled back and you continued, unrelenting. They tripped over themselves in your flurry and fell back, not without scratching at your face on the way down. You were now on top and yelled with a new wave of ferocity. You know how they say a human’s key trait is their endurance? Maybe the demon had taken you down earlier but now the ball was in your court.

After what felt like a few minutes, the surrounding demons came in to break up the fight. Someone pulled you off, as the lesser demon’s friend pulled them to their feet. They glared at you as they made their retreat. The crowd cleared and you found yourself alone. You looked around and couldn’t find your backpack that had your belongings like your D.D.D. and books. Since it was the weekend, you could figure out the books and homework with the brothers that shared classes with you but you had no way of contacting anyone so you started the long trek walking back to the House of Lamentation.

You were exhausted by the time you got back. The adrenaline of the fight was completely gone. Without a key or your D.D.D. you had to use the giant door knocker. You shook with the effort to raise it and knock twice. The last person you wanted to see right now answered the door.

Someone set me free from these Chinese novels/manhua with crack storylines, forever running plots, and enough foolish beauty standards to cook my black ass even blacker. Set me free; I have college and a life. Is this even brainrot when I had to shut off the cells days ago?

is it in your experience that what you said, that by high school, the only people still remaining in ballet classes are those going to do it in a career? from my experience this is very much not the case. the majority of people at that age planning on doing it at a career, yes, are at ballet schools, the professional, official ones that are proper schools (including normal school work), but there are still all the dance schools where they began their dancing, the ones that yes have 6-7 year old classes, but also classes all the way up through the grades, perhaps competition groups, casual groups, exams, not so. Therefore the majority of people in my classes dont do ballet as a career, although some are still going into the arts and dramatics, or are training to be dance teachers.

so uh hi! i know many people who do ballet of all ages, and currently do classes with people who range in age from 19 to... idk, but theres one lady who's definitely elderly, but idk her exact age. before that, my previous class age range ranged from ~15-23, and similar age to me before that. none of these people are going to become professional ballerinas (although some people know professional ballerinas, and professionals have previously gone to that dance school, before moving on to like proper fancy ballet schools at... well, that high school age, ig. but we are all still here, dancing, non-professionally and its great.)

Me: so the thing is that beginner's ballet classes are usually for ages 6-7, and the older you get the more expensive it is. by the time you reach high school usually the only people remaining are the ones who intend to go into ballet as a career. so in verse 2 of avril lavigne's sk8r boi, when you fast forward to 5 years later and the ballet girl is at home alone with a baby, implied to be a single parent, there's not only the intended subtext that she's a single mom who had an unexpected pregnancy where the dad skipped out on her, but also the implication that it ruined her career, since show business in general and ballet specifically is so fast paced that most ballerinas can't afford to take time off to have children without sacrificing their career growth. in fact post-quarantine there was a really interesting article about how many ballerinas used that time to have children that their otherwise demanding schedule wouldn't have allowed them-- You, hitting me with a broom: how the hell did you get in my house
