I dance as much as I can because that way, my life looks a lot less pathetic than it actually is.

I am so used to invisible isolation, I don't even think much of it anymore.

Sad, sad, pathetic little man.

Swinging requires the use of your muscles, particularly the arms, shoulders, and core. Pushing and pulling on the swing engages these muscle groups, providing a moderate workout and helping to improve strength, coordination, and balance.

Soft Vashwood fic for WIP Wednesday please. Good luck with writing!

I may or may not have watched a bunch of videos of men dancing in swing and lindyhop competitions only to decide not to describe the actual dancing yet.

No regrets. (Except on how rough this is).

-

“Hey there handsome, wanna dance?” 

This was a daydream he’d never dared hope to see manifested. Vash couldn’t even form a “yes” through the sudden giddiness, just grinned back and grabbed the offered hand. Vash laughed as he was spun around and pulled against Wolfwood’s chest, felt his rumbling laugh in return. A brief moment and the lightest kiss was the only pause he got before they began to move.

Vash knew how to dance. He knew the steps of dances born before spaceflight, had been around humanity enough to know the ways they had since evolved. He knew Wolfwood was physically capable, graceful in the ways that slipping around corners to dodge a bullet makes you be. He knew he could keep a beat by the ways he would occasionally drum his fingers on the table when a song played.

What he did not know was that Wolfwood knew how to dance, and knew how to dance well.

I've been trying to figure out some kind of 'lead trainer' for years, and the best I got was some kind of card game thing that didn't actually work as there's too many options.

"it's not pretty. but it's what users want." - me, mumbling to myself as I make something users don't want

Seconds

Looking through my emails the other day, I realised it's been 6 years since the first time I felt fallen since taking up Lindy Hop, the dance that significantly added a new dimension to my life. I am still grateful I didn't give Lindy Hop a pass that day in Swansea.

Thinking back, so much has happened, even though after all that I still have no family of my own (was saying the other day to a friend I'd rather be stuck home looking after my own children 😅). I am therefore living the second best version of my life I suppose.

Still, while social anxiety still kicks in now and again, particularly in unfamiliar situations, the avoidant trait now only surface when specific criteria are met. Things were so different compared to the last time I was in Oslo, when the emotional overload was crippling.

This trip, I hope to re-calibrate my understanding of how far I am from the top, but as the dance evolves in the ELEF direction, I should be glad I am yet to feel excluded due to my disability. And it doesn't matter that the teachers line up don't seem as impressive overall, what really left a mark last time was the scene.

Hopefully, the experience will help me feel more grounded.

What style does RGB dance in

pretty much any style you want, he's very flexible! but he's particularly well versed at stuff like swing, lindyhop, jive etc.

...though maybe not ballet. that's Julienne's thing.

Do y’all think Meeks would like electroswing and all that Lindyhop stuff? Cause I do

It was more popular in the 20s-30s rather than the 50s but its overall vibe seems like Meeks’ scene

guys i'm extremely curious to know which artists you think the dps boys would listen to! I think Neil would love The Smiths, Todd would definitely listen to Cigarettes After Sex and Charlie would be a huge fan of Eminem. But I really don't know about the others...

thank you again, @crazybutgood for tagging me, sorry for being so late (again... 😔) to do this. i'm gonna go ahead and follow your mashup rather than doing the two original templates from the people that tagged you :)

last book: for uni: hamlet by william shakespeare. for fun: ben alderson's king of immortal tithe

last song: time well wasted by the fray

favourite animal: tbh, i'm not much of an animal person... but aesthetically, i'll say fox.

last meal: homemade pizza

last text message: telling a friend in the uk if he is serious about coming to visit me, i'd be free anytime except when i'm visiting my aunt, and also telling him i'm looking forward to dancing with him again

last movie: brother bear (2003)

socks/slippers/bare feet: currently bare feet because i'm in bed (and should really go to sleep), but usually, slippers

last thing that made me laugh: we were talking about what an absolute rascal my grandparents' cat is, and various misdeeds he has carried out

last thing i watched on youtube: this is a really good question, because i have absolutely no idea, i don't use youtube often enough to remember. perhaps something with foil arms and hog, or maybe it was this..?

favourite lazy sunday activity: curling up on my sofa back home, with a huge cup of tea, and watch a movie, or an ice hockey game (though, tbh, ice hockey rarely happens on sundays, they're reserved for fridays and saturdays, usually), and crochet something, or read a book.

sweet/spicy/savoury: sweet. absolutely not something bitter or sour. but yeah, i do have a huge sweet tooth

current obsession: hm, i have several, i guess.. been learning how to do lindyhop, which has become a bit of an obsession. also, have to obsess a bit about historical english linguistics for my thesis project (it's actually a good thing, i'm excited (but also afraid, because what if i mess this up?!?)), playing 20x20 'hard' square loopy

looking forward to: a solo weekend. time for myself as my grandparents are going on a trip. not doing much tomorrow (saturday) but then. sunday. i'm going to watch tre kronor v finland live, and then i'll have lindyhop class(es) in the evening. am definitely looking forward to sunday :)

I'm thinking of a Phineas and Ferb pony/mlp au, and while I've managed to settle on what I want some characters to be, for others I'm either split between two opinions or have no idea.

It's not really set in mlp:fim's world building, it leans more towards normal Phineas and Ferb but all the characters are mlp creatures and magic is a thing that exists.

I've also come up with some befitting pony-names for some characters, but am still stuck on others

I want all the Flynns to be unicorns, the Fletchers to be hippogriffs/sea ponies (which is the same thing, they just have two forms), the Doorensmirtzes to be griffons, and the Johnsons to be earth ponies and pegasi.

(Jeremy and their dad are pegasi, while Suzie and their mom are earth ponies, the Australian cousin is also a pegasus.)

I can't decide if I want Baljeet to be Abyssinian and have Buford be a Diamond Dog, because of the mlp:fim canonical tensions between those two species.

Or if I want Buford to be a Dragon and Baljeet a Kirin. Or have Buford be a Yak while Baljeet is a Deer (based on the mlp:fim comics).

I like the dragon and kirin option the least of the three, because something about one being bipedal while the other is a quadruped gives me a weird vibe.

I only even came up with it because it's really easy to picture Buford as a dragon, but if I give Buford power over fire I feel like I have to give Baljeet fire too.

I'm leaning the most towards having them be the cat and dog, and I don't know if that makes be boring because what else would they be, or if having them be so distinctly not ponies in the pony AU makes it an unusual choice.

Isabella (and her family) are earth ponies, and I've decided that all of the Fireside Girls are similarly earthbound and magicless, though not all of them are specifically earth ponies. Like Holly is a zebra, for example.

Irving and his brother are Changelings, Django and his dad are Unicorns, Jenny is an earth pony, Johnny (Vanessa's first love interest) is a bat pony.

I'm thinking of making the Hiranos Orinthians (anthro bird people). Which might look like I'm breaking the no magic or flying baseline I made for the Fireside Girls, but Orinthians can't actually fly and only glide at most, because their wings are too arm and hand shaped to be used for actively flying.

Now names I'm not changing depend on two things. First is if the creature they are, use more human-ish names vs more object/idea pony-ish names. Second is whether or not their original name is applicable to the second thing, again Holly comes to mind.

Like Diamond Dogs, Abyssinians and Orinthians all use more human style names, so I don't think I'll change the names of the characters I made into one of these. Griffons also use human names, though typically only those that start with G but I'm just going to quietly disregard that.

I already have some pony names I like for various characters, Adorabella for Isabella, Cadence for Candace (Cadance is a nickname for the alicorn princess Mi Amore Cadenza, not her actual name), Linda's pony-name is Lindyhop (with stage name LindiPop in her popstar days).

I'm really struggling with a name for Lawrence, like he's an antiquer/historian, but I don't really know how to make a cutesy pony names out of either of those concepts.

Ferb remains Ferb because what else is his name supposed to be. I'm leaning towards Phenomaly (phenomenal and anomaly portmanteau) or something similar for Phineas, I want to still have it to have a ph start.
