hanging around the studio after hours

[justmeinabigolworld]

and I didn't even include magical boy anime (which isn't as rare as some people think)

look. a subgenre going in a direction you don't like for a while doesn't make it "dead". reboots, sequels, prequels, and stuff like that are the trend in all sorts of media, not just magical girl anime.

also, there are all sorts of cool magical girl works that aren't anime, and i don't just mean manga and light novels. there's live-action stuff, VNs, webcomics, written works, cartoons from countries other than japan...

and guess what? i'm not against dark magical girl stuff by any means. madoka magica was what got me into magical girl stuff in the first place! i love all sorts of magical girl media, both light and dark, though i don't claim to be an expert by any means. there's still so much stuff i haven't watched/read/played...

anyway, the anime listed here include Artiswitch, Kuromajo-san ga Tooru, Little Witch Academia, Fantasista Doll, Magia Wars, SHY, Hina Logi: From Luck and Logic, Matoi the Sacred Slayer, I've Had Enough of Being a Magical Girl, Urahara, Flip Flappers, Six Hearts Princess, Magical Girl Kurumi, The Demon Girl Next Door, and Mewkledreamy. The upcoming ones are Magical Girl Aiko, Princess Session Orchestra, Acro Trip, Magilumiere, The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to be Enemies, and an unnamed magical girl anime from Studio Pierrot

[magicalgirlypop]

saw another "all magical girls nowadays are deconstructions or parodies" post and couldn't take it any longer. tell me you haven't watched a magical girl show past 2011 without telling me. sure some time after madoka there WAS a wave of dark edgy magical girl shows that desperately tried to emulate it. but that era is long gone and there are so many magical girl shows coming out. which you would know if you kept up with mg news. please for once instead of complaining that the genre is dead support upcoming mg projects.

gettin' excited for the new job pay and spring now 'cause it means i can go back to pole classes after two years AND get back on my own pole now i'm well enough >:D

Wally Doesn’t Know - Part 1

(Dick Grayson x fem!reader)

Summary: You tell Wally you’re at church, but you don’t go. Wally doesn’t know his girlfriend and his best friend do it every Sunday.

Notes: Based on the song Scotty Doesn’t Know. established relationships + cheating, but not really angsty this chapter

No content warnings needed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The alarm clock on the nightstand next to you rang just seconds after you woke up. You jolted upright and turned it off, already buzzing with excitement. Today was your favorite day of the week; the day that you got you through the rest of the week.

You quickly climbed out of bed and saw the other side of the bed was empty. A giddy smile spread across your face. Wally was already up - no need to hide it. You practically bounced over to your dresser and pulled out a lacey blue thong - his color blue - before covering it with your “Sunday best.” Standing in front of a mirror, you smoothed out the soft dress. It was nice enough to pass for church attire, but short enough to provide easy access. Buttons ran down the front of the dress, and you shuddered at the thrilling thought of him slowly unbuttoning them.

As you bounded down the stairs, you could hear the soft clanking of a spoon against a bowl and Wally’s daily news show. “Hey babe,” Wally called over his shoulder. He turned his head slightly, and when he caught sight of you out of the corner of his eyes, he did a literal double-take. “Where are you going all dressed up?”

“Babe, it’s Sunday,” you giggled - it was kind of cute he still did double takes when he saw you.

“Oh, right! Well, have fun at church. Tell God I said hi.”

“I will!” you said brightly. You headed out the back door, leaving Wally to his news show.

Once outside, you did a quick scan of your surroundings. Not a soul in sight. With a deep inhale, you focused on where you wanted to be, and when you exhaled, you were there. A solid wooden door stood in front of you. You steeled yourself and tried to take some calming breaths before knocking. Even after all these years, he still made you feel like a nervous school-girl.

The door swung open. Dick Grayson stood on the other side, shirtless, with a towel hung over his shoulders. His defined abs glistened with water, making your breath catch in your throat. His usually neat black hair was damp and tousled. A pearly-white grin grew across his face as he eyed you up and down.

“You’re early,” he teased. You smiled and entered his studio apartment. “Well, I wanted to get a good seat at church,” you teased back.

He laughed, then shut the door, making sure to lock it. You let your purse drop to the ground and hopped up to sit on his table. “Is that a good seat?” he asked. You crossed your legs and smoothed your skirt, discreetly pulling it up so he could almost see your whole leg. Excited butterflies swirled in your core. The little game you two played was your favorite part.

“Hmm, I think so. Though, I’m a little far away from the main event…”

The grin on Dick’s face turned mischievous. He slowly walked over to you and placed his hand down on either side of your hips. The air between you two sparked with electricity as his face neared yours. It took everything in you not to immediately close the small gap and kiss him.

“Is this close enough?” he asked.

You slightly shook your head left and right, never letting your eyes leave his deep blue ones. He leaned in closer, and you uncrossed your legs so he could slot himself between them. His face lowered to your neck, his warm breathe sending tingles across your skin. “How ‘bout now?” he murmured into your skin, peppering kisses up and down your neck.

You had no response but an airy gasp of pleasure. Your arms wrapped around his shoulders, one hand tangling itself in his damp hair. His hands slid to your waist, holding you as he leaned into you more. His soft kisses grew deeper as they traveled lower and lower. Each point of contact sent sparks across your skin. When he reached the edge of your dress, he pulled away and lowered you down flat against the table.

“You sure you still want this?” He leaned over you, slightly out of breath.

The thought of Wally sitting alone at home danced through your mind, with his soft red hair and freckles that you loved to count. He was so sweet, so goofy. So trusting. He truly believed you were at church.

But then you looked into the pools of ocean in Dick’s eyes, and melted beneath him all over again. Even after you’d said yes a million times, he still asked. His hands on you still felt so special. He made you feel like no one else ever could. He was everything.

You grabbed onto either end of the towel around his neck and pulled him down into a kiss. Your lips moved in tandem, like it was the most natural thing in the world. Muffled moans mixed together. When the both of you needed air, he only pulled back slightly, lips practically brushing against each other. “I’m sure,” you whispered.

With that, he descended on your lips again. You melded together in a fiery, passionate kiss. Your legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer, while his hands explored your body. He squeezed at your hips before traveling upwards and groping at your breasts. You gasped into his mouth, and he took the opportunity to nip at your bottom lip. Pulling back from you, he grinned at the lustful expression on his face.

“Let’s get this off of you,” he said, more to himself than to you, as he began unbuttoning your dress. Each button revealed a new section of bare skin, save your undergarments. He took his time, enjoying your growing desperation. When he finally reached the bottom, the dress fell away to reveal your lacey blue underwear. He groaned at the sight of your scantily clad body and dropped his head - the exact reaction you were hoping to elicit.

“You like?” you teased, biting your lip seductively.

He lifted his head back towards you, eyes twinkling with lust. “You… are going to be the death of me.”

A giggle escaped you, and he leaned down to capture it with a kiss. Your laugh turned into a moan as his tongue slid into your mouth and swirled around yours. You wrapped around him tighter to pull him closer, clinging to his back. His wet chest pressed against your bare skin, and you shuddered at the coolness.

Suddenly, in one swift movement, Dick slid his arms underneath you and picked you up off the table. Never parting his lips from you, he carried you to his bed. Only when he deposited you onto it did he stop touching you. He quickly discarded his towel and practically tore off his pants. You drank in his toned body as he did so, eyes fixating on the growing tent in his boxers. The butterflies in your stomach fluttered even faster, and your heartbeat pounded in your chest. He crawled on top of you, nudging your legs apart with his knees.

“I think it’s time for this to go too,” he said while unclasping your bra. Your nipples perked up at the sudden cool air. “God, you’re so beautiful,” Dick purred, sinking his head down to your chest. His lips wrapped around your nipple and gently sucked, eliciting a gasping moan from you. He pleasured your other nipple between his fingers, and your back arched towards him.

“Ohhh, Dick.” You wrapped your legs around his waist again to bring his arousal closer to you, clumsily grinding against him. He groaned into your breast, and his teeth threatened to nip you. His other hand found your hips and lifted you up slightly so you could grind on him better. The growing, unsatisfied pleasure in your core was starting to become unbearable. Whines and mewls spilled from your lips. He lifted his head from your chest, releasing your nipple with a pop, before trailing kisses up your neck.

“You want me to touch you?” His voice was hot against your neck, heating up your skin even more. “Yes, please,” you unashamedly begged.

Dick happily obliged. The hand that was on your breast slid down until it reached where you wanted him the most. He slipped his fingers into your panties, lightly skimming over your already-slick folds. His thumb settled on your clit, and he started rapidly circling it. Your legs tried to clench together, the sensation almost pleasantly unbearable, but his knees kept them open. Each swirl of his thumb made your body tremble beneath him, threatening to overwhelm you.

“Oh, God, Dick - fuck-“ you sputtered. Colored dots crossed your vision. You clutched at his back and hair as you felt your climax rising.

Just as you were about to come, his hand moved away. A pitiful whine escaped you at the interruption. He chuckled against you, then slid a single finger into you. Your hips bucked up towards him, chasing your pleasure.

“More?” he asked, clearly teasing.

“Mmph, Dick, please!” you whimpered. You could feel his smile against his skin - he loved it when you begged for him.

Mercifully, he added a second finger, and pushed them both inside of you. Your head fell back with a deep moan as he began pumping them in and out. His movements were deep but languid, drawing out your pleasure. You mindlessly rocked against him in an attempt to please yourself quicker. Noticing your neediness, he curled his fingers inside you. Shameful whines fell from your lips as he rapidly twitched against your walls. His lips refound your breast, and his tongue swirled around your nipple as he sucked on it.

“I-oh, f-fuck, fuck, Dick!” you cried out, right at your precipice. He picked up his pace, abusing the most sensitive spot inside you. The shockwaves running through your body grew stronger and stronger until you had no choice but to succumb to them. You clenched down on him, walls spasmed around his fingers, your own cum dripping down beneath you.

Feeling your release, Dick pulled his fingers out and lifted them to his lips. The two of you locked eyes while he sucked your juices off of himself. He drew it out, making you wait. Your head felt light, like you were intoxicated by his touch. Your pussy fluttered around nothingness. After what felt like an eternity, he finally stopped.

“Just as delicious as you are stunning.”

A stupid smile spread across your cheeks. You pulled him down into a kiss, tasting yourself on his lips. His hard length pressed against your heat, and he moaned into your mouth. In one swift movement, he broke away, leaning back on his heels, and tore his boxers off. The fire inside you reignited at the sight of his thick, throbbing cock. He lowered his hips, lining himself up with your entrance.

“You want this?”

You nodded fervently. “Please.”

Dick didn’t take any time to hesitate. The thick tip of his cock pushed into you, stretching out your cunt. He pumped in and out of you slowly, forcing more of himself into you with each thrust to let you adjust to his size. His head fell to your shoulder, and strangled groans hit your skin. You tightened your legs around his waist and pulled him into you. He took to sign to bury himself in your heat, filling you up.

“Fuck, you feel so good,” he gasped. All you could respond with were mewls and moans of your own. His pace picked up, and the sound of him fucking your slick cunt filled the room, mixed with both of you crying out each others names. Overcome with desire, he drove into you like an animal. The bed beneath you shook from his powerful thrusts. The tip of his cock slammed into a particularly sensitive spot, and you cried out as your walls tightened around him. Your back arched and your head fell back with overwhelming pleasure. Dick sucked at your skin, threatening to leave a hickey.

“Shit, I can’t…” Dick said to himself, his voice strangled. His movements grew sloppy and shallower. “Wait, here.” He fully removed himself from you, leaving you feeling horribly empty, then guided you into a better position.

You rolled over onto your knees and lifted your hips towards him. Standing at the edge of the bed, he gripped your hips and thrust himself back inside you. From this new angle, he could push into you even deeper, filling you up completely. A gasping moan from the new feeling of being completely full spilled from your lips. His hands pulled and massaged your cheeks, slight pain mixing with pleasure. As he resumed his precious pace, you pressed your face against the bed to muffle your moans. Each snap of his hips threatened to shatter you again, and each moan from you threatened to shatter him.

You could feel his dick pulsing inside you. Your hips bounced back, meeting his thrusts halfway. As his climax approached, his movements grew sloppy, and he let you fuck yourself on him. Right as he was about to finish, a cellphone ringing interrupted him. Worse, it played the cheesy song Wally had set as your ringtone for him. Dick grabbed your hips to still them and groaned behind you. “Don’t tell me that’s Wally.” All you could do was slightly nod, frozen in panic. He pulled out of you, and your hips fell to your ankles in shame. Panicked thoughts ran rampant in your mind.

Why would Wally be calling? He thought you were in church - you don’t call someone during church! Did he know? How could he possibly know??

You could hear the soft padding of footsteps behind you, and then the sound of your purse opening. The cheesy song grew louder as Dick walked back to you with your phone in hand. With his free hand, he lifted your hips back up. To your surprise, he slid his length back into you, meeting no resistance, eliciting a gasp from you. Right as you relaxed around him again, he held your phone against your cheek.

“Dick, wha-“

His thumb pressed the screen to accept the call. The speaker crackled to life. “W-Wally?” you said, silently praying he would think your hushed tone was from being in church. Behind you, Dick thrusted into you, graciously slower than before. You bit your lip to stifle your moans as Wally talked.

“Hey, babe! I was just wondering, can you stop by the grocery store on your way home? I know we just went shopping, but you know how I am, I’m already -“

“Wally,” you hissed, somehow managing to say the right name, “I’m in church.”

“Oh, crap! Sorry babe, totally spaced out. Tell God I said sorry!”

“Yep,” you managed to get out. Dick put you out of your misery and ended the secret three-way call. All the moans you had been holding in poured out of you. “You… are… evil,” you gasped.

For once, Dick had no response except grunts and pants. He picked up his pace, jackhammering into you frantically. You quaked beneath him, both from his powerful thrusts and from the waves of electricity coursing through you. His hips smacked against your ass, the slight sting only heightening your pleasure. Your knuckles turned white from how tightly you were gripping the blankets, desperate for something to hold on too. The faster he rutted into you, the tighter your wrapped around him. His tip found your sweet spot again, and at the sound of your cries, he abusingly slammed into it repeatedly. It all became too much, and your whole body stilled, save the momentum from his thrusts.

“Fuckkk, Dick!” you screamed out. Your guts tightened before convulsing around him, the world around you shattering. Your eyes rolled to the back off your head, your vision blurring as he fucked you through your orgasm.

“F-fuck, that feels, Christ, you feel so good,” Dick gasped. You could feel with cock throbbing inside you. His movements grew frenzied as he chased his own high, roughly slamming into you over and over again. Right at the last second, he pulled out, and hot cum spilled across your ass and back. When you were sure he had finished, you collapsed onto the mattress, out of breath.

After catching his own breath, Dick walked around the side of the bed to your head. “Don’t move, I’ll go get a washcloth,” he said, pressing a kiss to your flushed cheek. You complied. A moment later, he returned with a wet washcloth in hand and gently wiped his cum off your skin. Once clean, you stretched out and rolled over onto your back. Dick tossed the washcloth into a hamper before tugging his boxers back on.

A lazy smile formed on your face. Your body hummed, content and blissed out. Dick handed you back your discarded underwear and climbed into bed next to you. Once you were slightly redressed, you shuffled into his arms. His warm arm wrapped around you, and you nuzzled closer into his shoulder. Your head fit against him perfectly, like you were made to be there. He smelled like fresh peppermint, slightly tainted by sweat. The two of you laid there together in silence, simply enjoying each other's presence.

Dick broke the silence first. “You should go soon. Wally will wonder where you are.” Despite his words, he made no effort to move. His thumb gently rubbed back and forth over your shoulder.

You let out a deep sigh, the reality of the situation sinking back in. You looked towards the clock on the wall- you had fifteen minutes left of “church.” There was no way Dick didn’t know that. He knew exactly when you usually arrived and exactly when you needed to leave. You tilted your head up to look at him. His jaw was tensed, and he was staring up at the ceiling. The smile on your face faded as your heart dropped.

“Yeah, ok,” you acquiesced, rising from the bed. As you stood up on trembling legs, he reached out and grabbed your wrist.

“Hey,” he said softly, “See you next week?”

His eyes were full of guilt and hope. Guilt over betraying his best friend, hope for something more with you. You smiled down at him and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. “Of course.”

His usual smiled returned, and you left to him get redressed. You could feel his eyes on you as you regathered your things. With one last parting glance, you opened the door and left his apartment. On your way home, you made sure to stop by the grocery store.

part 4 of yogi verse ❀ rated: t for buck's thirsty thoughts ❀ pair: buck/tommy ❀ tags: au, yoga!instructor tommy

Buck was distracted. 

Not so distracted that he couldn’t focus on his job, but between calls, he was enough of a space case that Eddie had to snap his fingers in front of Buck’s face when he zoned out for the fifth time during dinner, missing a question Hen had asked him.

And the source of that distraction?

Yoga class.

Buck could say it was because of his newfound passion for health and wellness, but that wouldn’t be the whole truth. 

It had been a few days, and his leg was back to its usual eighty-five percent functionality. He was still embarrassed by his behavior. His attention-seeking problem was once again so bad that he’d made a complete ass of himself. Tommy had been way too kind to him, among other confusing things, and…

Well, Buck couldn’t stop thinking about that, either. Couldn’t stop thinking about him.

Naturally, he did some investigating to alleviate his curiosity—some light digging, not a deep dive. He wasn’t going to be a creep and look up Tommy’s socials, but the yoga studio had an Instagram. There were pictures, instructional reels, advertisements and coupon codes. 

Buck consumed them all like a man possessed. He only stopped when he accidentally liked one of the reels of Tommy demonstrating an advanced routine with another instructor. They were doing something called Acro Yoga.

Buck watched it too many times because it was just so damn impressive, especially for a guy Tommy’s size to be able to contort his body like that. Also, the strength it must have taken to be able to hold his partner up in that position and flip her around so effortlessly. Holy shit. Buck was almost as big as Tommy. It wasn’t realistic or probably possible, but Buck’s stomach was jumping, swooping as he pictured himself in her place, Tommy holding him up and—

Yeah! Okay. 

He sort of wanted to die of mortification because would Tommy know he had liked that post? Did Tommy have access to the studio’s account? 

God, he probably did. He most definitely did.

Buck considered frantically deleting his Insta, but not only would that look suspicious as hell to everyone in his life, he didn’t want to lose all his content. He quickly liked a bunch of the posts that didn’t have Tommy in them to try and cover his tracks before he swiped out of the app and went to a safer place: the studio’s website. 

He combed through that, too. Read the small blurbs about all the instructors. The blurbs themselves were disappointingly generic, offering nothing more than canned inspirational quotes and the amount of experience they had in their field. Still, they did have two random facts and a picture. 

Tommy liked romantic comedies (ha, cute) and was also a licensed massage therapist. He had several different classes on different days of the week. He taught hot yoga. 

Buck’s eyes glazed over slightly as he thought about a very sweaty, muscular body (shirtless? with those clingy, almost see-through yoga pants?), twisting and flexing and stretching—

“Oookay,” Buck said. He shook his head to snap himself out of it.

He needed to get laid. It had been a long time. Super long. He was having a bit of a dry spell. 

But the thing that really snagged his interest… 

Buck gulped as he stopped scrolling. Private lessons. One-on-one. Nobody in the room but him and the instructor. There were even options to do the classes at home or over Zoom.

Buck’s heart pounded as his thoughts spiraled. With a deep, shaky inhale, he impulsively tapped Book now! 

The next five minutes he spent making his selections.

The implications of what he’d done started to sink in as soon as he put his phone down. A second later, it pinged with a confirmation email.

He was literally paying for more attention. He’d asked Tommy not to make any special exceptions for him, and now he was ordering them. Downright demanding them.

Why did he feel so giddy? 

༻❁༺

When Buck woke up sweaty and hard with the memories of an explicit dream featuring none other than instructor Kinard, he had an inkling of an answer to that question. 

But… 

It wasn't the first time Buck had dreamt about a man before. Dreams were weird that way. Unpredictable. Sometimes meaningless. Random. 

Buck got up and brewed a hot coffee, cooked up some breakfast sausages that he ate a little too aggressively, had a (cool) shower, and by the time he got in his Jeep, Tommy wasn't even on his mind anymore.

…Yeah, right.

[constantlybrainrotting]

i lied, put your clothes back on. i'm going to keep talking about the dance studio au (side note, currently writing this as i am at the studio i teach at lmao)

on today's episode of brainrot, i tell you about the different specialties of the characters i chose to teach and why i chose them, as well as some random facts about them as teachers!

Silco Lane-Shimmerson (ZDC)

STYLE INSPIRATION: Ballet/Pointe | Contemp

Silco mainly teaches ballet, pointe and contemp to both the full time comp kids and the part-time comp kids. I chose ballet/pointe for him because he is seen in canon as an overall precise and focused person, with little room for error, which are qualities usually seen within those styles. While he loves a good classic ballet routine, i think his specialties would lie within contemporary ballet, a style i see as more Zaun fitting. he would've learned the vaganova method growing up, a method known to use and value flexibility, strength and endurance, a method i believe that holds values that are pretty in line to Zaun in the show. due to his proficiency in contemporary ballet, i think it would bleed into him really enjoying contemporary/modern as a style. he would definitely be a harder and tougher teacher overall but the kids, especially the younger ones, love his upfront personality and makes him one of the more favoured teachers at the studio. He makes a lot of the kids enjoy ballet despite it being not well liked for many kids which is a FEAT. Silco is known for his intense choreography and it pays off since they are usually winning pieces (in contemp because anyone who judges a ballet dance judges so dumb no matter which way you go). He grew up with Vander at a small local studio and ended up joining and teaching at the Greater Piltover Ballet Company (GPBC) for a couple years before opening up a studio.

Vander Lane (ZDC)

STYLE INSPIRATION: Lyrical | Acro | Open

Vander doesn't actually teach all that much in comparison to many of the teachers since he also runs a cafe part time that is attached to the studio but is an overall favourite among the full-time competitive dancers. I chose for him to teach lyrical, acro and open because acro and open can be very powerful movement wise, which we see in Vander in the riots on the bridge and makes a lot of sense in that front, i decided to however also have him teach lyrical to bring out his softer side, which we see in the show when interacting with the kids. He teaches lyrical and acro to all of them but teaches open to the senior and inter teams. he's the type of teacher that brings in goodie bags for each holiday season and will tell the most insane stories during class time at random of him, Silco and Benzo over the years (ex. "fun story about spotting, when I was in the Piltover Ballet with Silco we learned from this woman who used to throw chalkboard erasers at us if we didn't spot our turns lol" "WDYM CHALKBOARD ERASERS???" "anyways back to your turns-"). He creates the most visually moving pieces ever and you wouldn't expect such softness and fluidity from that large of a man but by god does he do it well. oh and his acro routines?? SO visually stunning. this man has an eye for creating the most stunning pieces in all of his routines and they are consistently getting special awards for artistry at competitions. He also joined the GPBC for a brief stint with Silco before going to open up a small cafe on which Zaun Dance Movement was built upon.

Sevika Vann (ZDC)

STYLE INSPIRATION: Hip Hop | Acro | Open

Sevika is the one woman army of ZDM and Silco's right hand woman. She's the one picking out costumes (only Babette is aloud to help she does not trust those men), unpacking costumes, bedazzling, the whole works (dw she is compensated GOOD). I have her specialty as hip hop because she is a notably strong fighter and with the way she moves when fighting, she moves fluidly and sharp which are common notables in hip hop. She teaches the whole slew of comp kids hip hop and does tech classes with them. Her hip hop style is heavily mixed with Zaun break dance/street dance and allowed for the studio to become known for their unique style. She also teaches the part time kids acro since Vander is busy with the cafe and does some of the open small groups for the full comp kids. Her general stylization with her dances is heavy hitting and focuses on strength. She is a tough teacher but she does have her moments of roasting the shit out of her students to their delight. she loves a good banter and to be able to do that with her students will always be meaningful to her. She actually met Silco and Vander during a convention before they opened the studio, with her attending both their classes (Vander jazz and Silco contemp) and they took notice of her technique. Silco asked her to join the team the year they opened and with nothing else lined up for her at the time she agreed.

Babette Furlan (ZDC)

STYLE INSPIRATION: Jazz | Musical Theatre

I couldn't resist not putting Babette in this au she would be a riot omg. Babette teaches jazz and musical theatre because this woman would THRIVE in it. she owns a brothel in the show okay she would just love the theatrics of the two styles and would definitely go towards a more fosse style of jazz. she's been around a hot minute so she's very well known in the dance world and has won many awards for her choreo so it was down to pure luck that Silco ran into his old dance teacher whose home studio was closing and she was looking for a new studio to teach at. she creates choreo made to entertain the masses so it's very theatrical, loud and with the funnest costumes ever. she's also pretty well liked in classes and teaches all levels and ages.

Smeech Citrano (ZDC)

STYLE INSPIRATION: Tap

I LOVE ADDING THIS FUCKASS INTO RANDOM AU'S OKAY SO HEAR ME OUT!!! Smeech is the tap teacher because no.1 the way h moves in fights is great for tap and no.2 he has cybernetics in the show and metal meets metal shoes yknow!! this man is my favourite to figure out because he has beef with SO MANY of the kids, even the ones he has do solos/duos/trios and the only reason hes still employed is because hes the only good tap teacher in Zaun. the kids hate him but his routines place good so its a win-loose situation for them all honestly. his style of tap is steampunk ambience music with complex and/or fast steps with weird timings.

Cassandra Kiramman (PDC)

STYLE INSPIRATION: Jazz | Lyrical | Open

i have Cassandra teaching jazz, lyrical and open for a few different reasons. the jazz style appeals to her more intense side that we see when she busts in cait's room with a gun. she tends to lean towards the jazz-funk style more and her choreo is upbeat and fast moving. her lyrical becomes the opposite of that in fact and tunes into her softer side that we see when she talks to Caitlyn or Tobias. she uses traditional lyrical with it's softer and flowy lines of the body creating almost constant movement that draws in the audience. her style of open brings the two together which i think is important for her character. there tends to be sharper movements within but still allows for the flowiness to come through. her teaching methods can get intense at times but overall shes a good teacher and she's the kind to always have you do it full out with the music. she took over the studio after Heimerdinger's decision to step down and retire (for the most part lol) and has improved certain areas of the company since. before she had taken over, she was both a student and a teacher and had graduated from the GPBC's teaching program for lyrical and jazz. she's pretty hands on with her studio so she teaches both full time and part time competitive teams in her 3 preferred styles and is at the studio almost always. When she took over the studio, that's when a initial reach out to ZDM was made... she got one half in good faith at least!

Grayson Menea (PDC)

STYLE INSPIRATION: Hip Hop | Contemp | Acro

i couldn't NOT include miss Grayson so i have her in some of the more intense styles like hip hop, contemp and acro! she's got an overall pretty intense job in the show and i wanted to really bring that forward with the hip hop and acro, but show her somewhat softer side through with the contemp. her hip hop choreo is really sharp movements and lots of isolations, and her acro can be similar, with the placed movements and intensity. her contemp choreo is a lot more softer with the movements but still brings in that intensity through intentional and well placed moments of movement. she had actually grown up dancing at a smaller studio on the outskirts of New Piltover and close to Zaun so she learned hip hop very similarly to the Zaunite style of hip hop. she ended up doing a brief stint in the military and after a shot taken to her shoulder she was discharged. she decided not to return and was offered a job by then owner Heimerdinger to teach hip hop, since she was recommended by a mutual friend. she agreed and has thrived ever since. shes an overall pretty tough teacher when teaching but outside of that shes a wonderful person to be around and gives advice to the kids she teaches. she takes on more of the full time kids but does do some teaching with the older part-time kids.

Amara Saffioti (PDC)

STYLE INSPIRATION: Ballet/Pointe

Amara just looked like an older ballet teacher idk what you guys want from me, i went off pure vibes from her tbh. in any case, she is a true believer of classical ballet, plateau tutu's and all and is a no-nonsense but kind teacher. she uses the English (RAD - Royal Academy of Dance) method when teaching and she teaches the full scale of comp kids. she has a tendency to use music from different ballets and doesn't really branch out in that regard but her choreography is gorgeous. she also single-handedly puts on the nutcracker with her students every year and when Cassandra tries to help she shoos her out of the classroom. she was the first employee of the studio and she claims she will stay until she dies because she genuinely enjoys teaching so much.

Shoola Junot (PDC)

STYLE INSPIRATION: Tap | Musical Theatre

Shoola was also a very vibes based choice but i did think that a good musical theatre would help her be less cold in a way. for Shoola's tap style, it is a lot of quick tapping and lots of movement around the stage. she also has a habit of picking the shiniest of costumes for the kids which they love! i had a harder time finding a musical theatre style i liked for her but a classic simple musical theatre is where she is happy. her choreo still has those fast movements that she loves, just not as shiny costume wise and she loves to pick from older musicals. shes pretty well liked among staff and students but can seem quite cold due to her quiet demeanour outside the studio. she was originally a student at the studio and after graduating was asked to teach while she attended college to get her degree in engineering. she has another job outside the studio in a mechanical engineer position. she has also single-handedly upgraded the tap technique at the studio which is insane behaviour tbh.

Bonus! Cecil Heimerdinger (PDC)

STYLE INSPIRATION: Musical Theatre

thought fuck it, might as well add in the yordle! so Heimerdinger was actually a musical theatre geek and loved kooky theatre music so much he opened a studio mainly for that. he quickly learned he needed more variations of dance styles so in came Amara! tbh he had no clue wtf he was doing but they got an increasing number of wins with their routines so he said fuck it we ball ig. when he decided to give up the studio, he asked Cassandra and thankfully she said yes! while yes he was retired, he knew he needed SOMETHING to do so he took over managing the front desk (his multiple degrees came in handy) and does guest choreo work for Cassandra in his favourite style... musical theatre!

[corpseidol]

🩸- anon here with a few more silly ideas. (I’m a masc person so most of these are from a masc perspective:((( )

Logan and Goth older brother reader, kind of like Sunshine X Cerberus, but in the phantom realm? Readers the terrified one. And then Logan takes the protective role of :3

Ashlyn with a tap/acro dancer, friendly competition of different dance styles. Or a martial artist, I say this because if you’ve ever been in a dance studio that does multiple styles, the friendly beef is CRAZZYYY

Ben with either really short chaotic reader or a reader who’s taller then him and is the dad friend, bro is prepared for everything^2

Tyler with a Shakespeare quoting theatre kid, overly flirty and all (with consent ofc) they’re so gay for eachother

I literally can’t view Taylor dating someone who’s masc, but best ship I think is girlboss (Taylor) X girl failure, like fem reader is clumsy, bad at school, but in phantom realm? She’s the one hunting the phantoms down

Aiden… GOD AIDEN WITH A CHILDHOOD FRIEND HE TRIED TO MIMICK? BC HE WAS JUST SO COOL, AND AIDEN WANTED TO BE COOL LIKE HIM??? AUGHHH

no idea if this is a request, i assume not. but i’ll involve this with the misc list since i throw in my own ideas and a whole ass rant.

LOGAN. sunshine x cerberus would be the funniest thing ever because it reminds me of rodrick heffley. so lots of bonus points if goth older brother is a HUGE tease and does music. i feel like it’d be fun for goth!reader and aiden vs tyler with that personality i’m going for. just imagining goth laughing and encouraging taylor to record them; even provoking aiden and tyler when they’re all grumpy. but side effect: VERY IGNORANT PERSON if they were not involved with the phantom world, they would tease logan about the whole thing; even in public. which would cause serious problems like accidentally outing them and causing suspicions. if they were involved with the phantom world, they would react the same way tyler did but start a whole argument with tyler using tons of different insults. (bonus: actually very loving towards logan. does not care if their teasing goes too far but would protect logan with his fucking life.)

ANOTHER BONUS! in the band au, goth!reader would def help logan with his eyeliner (only did it when he noticed how half-assed logan’s make up was.)

ASH. at first, would most likely find the competition weird. if you made playful competitive jokes when you first meet her, she’d most likely be confused with your tone. are you making fun of her? are you trying to fight? are you joking? honestly kind of like another aiden x ashlyn if he was a dancer.. turns into a taylor x ash dynamic if we make this competitive little fella a good comforter. that’s absolutely adorable. at some point ash will find the playfulness easing her; sometimes irritated when you accuse her of “cheating” in the playful competition which is… most definitely not possible. if sbg were to be a musical, just imagine these two having a song where ash has to keep up with tap/acro dancer; most likely a “the other side” from the greatest showman type of song ngl.

BEN. would have such a fun personality if there was another dude who was way taller and was more of a dad figure. huge idol for ben honestly. yk the scene where ash compliments him for his good “first aid skills” or wtv and he blushes? imagine him always blushing everytime dad friend!reader compliments him or pats him on the head telling him that he did such a good job and that he’s proud. ben would hate showing his anger issues more towards dad friend!reader because he feels something in him that he doesn’t want to disappoint dad friend!reader. when they first met, he’d be way more timid because i like to think dad friend!reader would be a yapper but more of a calm one. would find it absolutely awkward being around dad friend!reader but finds so much comfort when dad friend!reader does something father-like (finds himself agreeing with dad friend!reader a lot and mindlessly following him while also throwing in his ideas.)

BONUS: picks up random habits that dad friend!reader does

TYLER. would find it absolutely ridiculous if a kid were to quote Shakespeare to him. but get this guy in a grumpy mood and tell him a shakespeare quote him? now you’re just being annoying. THOUUGHHHHH this guy seems to be keeping those words? oh m ygod just imagine reader getting upset and he pulls up with a shakespeare quote and he gets all shy when you tease him because he just gave out that he thinks of you when he sees ANY quote at all. proceeds to say “it’s just a one time thing” but uses quotes you have said to him to motivate him in the phantom world.

TAYLOR. she SCREAMSSSSS bisexual in denial. just imagine her blushy face when she sees how strong reader is in the phantom world, constantly defending her n shit. bandaging her own brother can be hard, but bandaging you??? YOU????? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO WITH HER?? MARRY HER??? BECAUSE SHE ISN’T SAYING NO!! just imagine ash having to divide the group for a plan and taylor immediately volunteers to go with you because holy shit. shy clumsy girl who’s good in fighting? no need for more info, she NEEDS that number. just imagine taylor teasing you and when you get all blushy and laughy, she sees your face and turns into a TOMATO. despite you being the clumsy one, she feels like she’s the clumsy one around you; becoming uncoordinated and messy when she sees you wipe a bloody nose and breathe heavily. bonus points if shy clumsy girl actually did martial arts and has a uniformed (person in the army) father who is HELLA STRICT WITH HER. more bonus points if the shy clumsy girl is actually really slim and her body aches after experiencing high amount of adrenaline

this is very self projecting because im literally describing myself. sorry guys.

btw just imagine being the clumsy girl and running into taylor in a garage where she’s wearing a white tank top with oil all over. ohMY RHAOJCOCJOWWMOANSODMDDJQOWMSODMDO HELDOFOPSPWP

AIDEN. huge angst here idc i love aiden angst! just imagine his childhood friend being aiden’s BIGGEST friend but suddenly lost all contact when they moved houses, and aiden just loved them so much he thinks of them everyday; doing things that his friend would’ve done and likes videos that reminds him of them. despite him learning to be able to live without them, he has so much loyalty for them. just to run into them at the school and seeing that they refuse to interact with him until they were forced into the group bc of that TEACHER. huge slowburn due to their unknown want to avoid from aiden. bonus points if aiden tries to push them (like how he was pushy the first few eps) by reminding them of things they used to do when they were kids or showing them things that remind him of their childhood.

u’ve been fed.

Friend was making me watch dance moms and I was relieving my ballerina days so here’s an ASOIAF dance studio AU for the soul

-Sansa is definitely one of the best at her studio she is the Lyrical queeennnn. One of the few competition dance girls who trains in ballet and is actually good at it. She doesn’t have insane flexibility but her technique is peak and she’s great at turn sequences. Always very consistent and stable. Gets mad when they have hip hop pieces cause she’s not good at it. Likes recitals more than competitions because she can do ballet more, tends to like the French style. Hair always sprayed and smoothed into a perfect bun even if she’s just going to class, not a single flyaway to be seen. Keeps a neat dance bag that she keeps her entire life in.

-Arya is only in there because Cat thought it would be cute to have the girls dance together. Immediately got proven wrong but she already paid for the full year so. DESPISES the slow ballet and contemporary pieces. Is a fucking prodigal jumper she can do switch leaps, ariels, toe touches, literally anything. Which means she likes the upbeat jazz and hip hop numbers wayyy more. Never has a neat bun it’s a miracle it can be tamed when she goes on stage. All of her tights have runs and rips up the sides. Stains on her leotard. Brings a Gatorade to class instead of a water and gets yelled at for it. Hides in the bathroom during ballet class.

-Dany has pretty good technique, nothing standout, but makes up for everything with her energy and facials. She’s got definite potential, but is unrefined. Pretty muscular and short because she used to do gymnastics. Really likes to try anything. Ballet, lyrical, jazz, contemporary, acro, hip hop, truly everything. Consistently places third in competitions, which pisses everyone else off because they think her technique isn’t very strong, and pisses her off because she wants to place first for once. Is currently working her ass off at the barre to focus on her basic technique, is improving at a rapid pace. Dance bag smells like actual ass, you can find probably anything in there though. Doesn’t wear any padding in her pointe shoes bc she’s kind of a psychopath.

-Marg is the top girl 100% she’s the teachers favorite. Every lead role and center position is hers. Sansa’s biggest competition but they’re such good friends and so nice to each other neither of them really cares. Focuses mostly on a slower Russian style of ballet, perfect for her long legs and arms. Every move is just so intentional and perfectly placed, she flows so well from step to step. Definitely is getting countless offers from academies, professional companies, and summer programs. Alwaysss has the cutest most expensive leotards and skirts. Makes sure to pull some of her curls out of her bun to frame her face. Makeup on during class that she somehow never sweats off. Usually super sweet but tends to be passive aggressive to other studios at competitions.

-Cersei who runs the rival studio, used to be a famous competition dancer, excelled at lyrical and contemporary. Makes all of her dancers take rigorous ballet, even if they’re just competition dancers, super adamant ab ballet as the basis for everything else. Notoriously insane with a hair trigger temper, but parents keep paying out the ass for her to train their kids because she produces results. Probably throws things if you fall out of a turn. Makes kids do pushups if they miss a step. Coddles Joff, Myrcella, and Tommen though, makes sure they always get good spots and roles. Jamie’s there to teach partnering sometimes but he always looks miserable and smells like cigarettes.

-Joffery is one of those insufferable tweens who gets special attention bc he’s a guy, a rare species in the dance world. But what’s even more infuriating is that he’s really good. Great flexibility, and focuses on big jumps and turns like most male ballet dancers do. Genuinely an enrapturing performer but never has any patience for his pas de deux partners, blames it on her if she gets dropped. A mean gay but no one’s really sure if he’s gay or not. Has a posse of tween girls that make fun of everyone not in their clique. Makes snide comments at the barre. Ridiculously cocky even when he falls out of his turns. Barges into the girls dressing room without asking. Demon child.

Bonus: Robb who has to take it because the football team needs to work on their balance or whatever. Really enjoys it actually and will defend it when Theon calls it gay. But don’t ask Theon why he kept staring every time Robb started stretching at the barre

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

Okay, I finally watched the DanDaDan anime (manga reader here). My initial thoughts:

1) I’m weirdly annoyed that the anime changed “all out” to “full throttle”.

2) I’m not used to Aira’s cutesy, high-pitched voice. In my head, she sounded more like an airheaded popular girl, like Glinda from Wicked. Not gonna lie, I don’t really like it. I will say though that I liked the moment where we hear Aira’s “real voice”.

3) They nailed my dawg Jiji. But I guess there was only one way to do the character anyways (annoying himbo). EDIT: Okay, one complaint! The animators kinda chickened out in making him look derpy. He’s way more handsome in the anime, while in the manga, there’s straight up panels where it looks like something is wrong with him lol.

4) It goes without saying that they nailed Momo and Okarun.

5) I think my overall problem with the adaptation is that it’s missing some of the personality from the manga. Admittedly, this is probably me being biased since I read the manga and I’m not really into animation in general. But from my perspective, some of the humor and wit is lost in seeing the scenes actually be animated. It’s hard to describe, but when I’m watching the show, the scenes just don’t come off as funny or as impactful as the manga. It’s the same feeling I got from the Spy x Family anime, there was just something lost in the change in mediums. Sorry y’all, that’s just my perspective.

6) That being said, while I prefer the manga overall, the Acro Silky backstory was done better in the show.

7) The cliffhanger was basically the studio telling you to read the manga lol (which you should!)

[mahou-furbies]

what are some of the magical girl shows coming out soon that you know of? which are you looking forward to and which do you think you might skip?

Here's a list of upcoming magical girl works from last summer, the earliest are already out but to my knowledge it's pretty accurate for the future.

My take on the list:

The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies - my closing thoughts are here

Mermaid Magic - might watch at some point but it's not a high priority

Acro Trip, Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc, The Story of the Girl Who Couldn’t Become a Wizard - currently watching, I'll write my thoughts once they end

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie - must watch, though it'll probably take a while for it to be available since it's a movie

Mahou Tsukai Precure: Mirai Days - definitely watching this one too

Princess Session Orchestra - contains idols which is extremely meh to me, but otherwise appears mahou enough for my tastes and the designs are great, so looking forward to this

Winx Club - probably won't watch, unless I get motivated to watch all of the winx franchise

Project Symphogear Next - idols + character designs too mecha + haven't seen anything else from this franchise = skip for me, but maybe I'll check it out one day

Hua Xianzi: Zhi Mofa Xiang Dui Lun - I know very little about Chinese animation or the original Lun Lun so dunno about this one

Studio Pierrot’s new anime - seems like idols again...

Lolirock season three - haven't seen the previous two seasons so I'd have to watch them first. Wait this has idols too??

Magic Knight Rayearth revival - definitely watching this one

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card season two - I haven't seen any CCS anime and didn't particularly like the manga, though I feel like I'll get to it at some point

Magical Girl holoWitches - cute designs, but streamers/vtubers as a theme is about as appealing to me as idols. Might take a look depending on what kind of format this will be.

Ojamajo Doremi 16-20’s - I think it's still unknown what format this will be? In any case I'd prefer to finish watching all the original Doremi anime first.

Also:

Kimi to Idol Precure - idols again... but I'll watch it

A second season for Magical Girl Raising Project has been announced ages ago and it's the anime I'm looking forward to the most on this post, but I'm not too hopeful on it coming out soon (if ever...) since things have been so quiet on that front

I'll also watch the Panty & Stocking sequel, though its schedule is also unknown.

dear diary.. 8th feb 25

i woke up exhausted this morning, i've recently been trying mightypatch bc i had this fat pimple on cheek but i woke up this morning & it was gone 🥰🙏 but anyways i did my normal morning routine so i did my skincare, went on a quick run stopped back at house (bc me and my friends go down to breakfast together) had a quick breakfast then went down to the sports centre bc i had a dance studio booked there and did some ballet so i did pointe technique work and some contemporary then i sprinted (literally legged it back to house to get my bag and go to lessons)

i had normal day of classes this morning which were mid icl me & my bsfs started rewatching the vampire diaries together (so watch me make that my entire personality) and its so good bro. i got my physics test results and i did so badly i'm not even going 2 talk abt it, like the only science i'm good at is chemistry and like bio kind of ish. like i'm only good at english + maths, sports and chem thats it i cannotttt for the life of me do physics oml.

my bf bought me my daily iced green tea + sugar from the school cafe and he walked me to lessons & hugged me 🥹🥹 after that i had lunch with some other girls i've been closer 2 recently then i headed down to the netball courts (bc i have to do sports on sat bc i'm on the netball team save me except i like netball so its alright), i swapped goal attack but was on for most of the match. after that i went to watch my bf's football match and BOOM SHAKALAKA YES GAWDD he looked SOOO good playing like i was actually weak i think i folded when i saw him and after the match he walked me back and before he let me inside he kissed me ugh it sounds so stupid but i'm still not over that kiss OH. MY. GOSH. LIKE OH MY FUCKING GOD i just started twirling my hair, giggling & kicking my feet out loud thinking abt it.

anyways then my mum picked me up from school (i don't stay weekends) and i had a long everything shower and then i went down to the gym to do my workout and did my skincare and i'm probably going to do like most of my homework tomorrow and go down to the library to revise but i also have to make time to do more ballet bc i've only been doing contemporary and acro and i need to work on more ballet. anyways now i'm sitting in a fluffy robe, drinking iced cucumber water out of my lulu bottle, eating skittles + strawberries and grapes, watching gossip girl on my TV and alternating with my kindle and gossiping & texting my bff.

xoxo, the sweetest girl in town 🐰🐰🪽

Circus "AU"

So I've had this in mind for *ages*, I love circus, I do circus elect at my school (mainly apparatus but I really wanna get into clowning) and I LOVEE Riordanverse. So obviously I had to combine the two.

In this "AU" basically everything's the same but CHB also has a circus program for... reasons! (+ New Rome has circus studios cause I said so)

Right now this is kinda just a thing for me to create art/one shots out of but I dunno, I do have specific apparatus/skills in mind for characters so this is gonna be a list of those + a tiny little bit at the end on how some of them got into it.

Nico - lollipop/lyra + stilts + groundwork/partner acro (haha what not self insert at all wdymmm)

Percy - BLUE aerial silks

Annabeth - rope + tech + hoops(manip)

Frank - clown + stilts (Nico used to do his makeup and tweaks whenever Frank's on stilts)

Hazel - groundwork/partner acro + unicycle

Reyna - aerial silks + lyra + standing trapeze + cube

Jason - tech + flying trapeze (prefers tech)

Leo - groundwork/partner acro + literally anything with fire, but like more specifically I had this idea for him where he has flower sticks but instead of tassels at each end it's flames

Thalia - standing trapeze + silk hammock

Will - groundwork/partner acro + flower sticks/plate spinning

Will randomly got REALLY into the idea of doing circus randomly and forced Nico and Leo to take classes with him (I'm a Soldezangelo TRUTHER). Nico got Hazel and Frank to join in. Nico, Leo and Will do trio floor work/acro skills together cause they're all around the same size, Leo's usually the flyer.

Uhm yeah, like I know this probably isn't an original thought but if this inspires you to make art I would love to be tagged because I love circus art!!

Arcane Competitive Dance AU

i dont think you realize that i CRAVE comp. dance au's down to the bone as a former comp. dancer so HERE IS MY BRAIN CHILD!!!

we start off pretty basic, with the City of Greater Piltover essentially split into two main area, New Piltover and Zaun. within the two main areas lies two dance studios, both well known and well loved in their respective communities. for the amount of time the studios have been open, the have had a sort of "rivalry" within it's leaders (dw the kids are mostly chill with eachother). this brings us to the main bones of the au!!

Zaun Dance Movement (ZDC)

run by co-owners and partners Vander and Silco Lane-Shimmerson

they do a lot of community work within Zaun since it's mostly lower class

they are known for their insane Hip Hop routines that are highly inspired by Zaunite break-dancing as well as their acro routines

they offer an affordability fund program for people who are interested in dance but the cost can be too high for the household

for the recreational program they offer the general classes such as ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, acro, musical theatre and open, as well as holding classes for adults, low-impact for the elderly, and adaptive movement for anyone with a mental or physical ability

they are known for being a family friendly and community based studio

has a KILLER fundraising team omg like genuinely so good they raise so much for comp season

Piltover Dance Corps (PDC)

founded by Cecil Himerdinger (trust me on this guys-)

owned currently by Cassandra Kiramman

they take a more intense look at dance, while still being family forward

"rich kid" studio

they put on a showing of the nutcracker every holiday season to raise funds for comp season

also has an affordability fund that's pretty good tbh

it definitely helps that Cass Kiramman is RICH so she puts a good amount of funds into it herself

they have a pianist come in for their ballet/pointe classes (just a fun fact tbh)

a good amount of their students go on to go professional later in life

known for their downright gorgeous ballet and tap programs

Overall facts I've put together!

contemp is NOT the shit you see on tv, it's what it originally was, the successor to the modern style idc what anyone says (please get rid of tv contemp y'all its legit lyrical you are doing lyrical-)

most if not all the main characters are in fact children/teens in this AU to have it make more sense just generally

vi is a hip hop/contemp girly ok

jinx is powders nickname/stage name and she is 100% a acro/musical theatre kid and you can pry that from my cold dead hands

ekko is a hip hop kid (as if you couldn't already see that coming lmao)

caitlyn is a lyrical/pointe girly bc you can't convince me she wouldn't LOVE the insane precision it takes seeing as she fucks with guns

jayce is a tap/hip hop boy bc i think he would adore the click clacks of tap shoes

mel is a lyrical/contemp to no ones suprise

dw guys viktor is in fact here hes just nerding out in the corner

he was dragged into the lane-shimmerson family ok

he's vi, claggor, milo and jinx's very supportive older brother who attends the adaptive movement class so he can give his siblings shit on their choreo

he is also the loudest mf in the audience (speaking from experience here 😅

sevika was also kicking and screaming and attempted to crawl her ass out of the fam dynamic and did NOT survive

love me some begrudging auntie sevika lmaooo

smeech is ZDM's tap teacher and him and jinx have BEEF

they are duking it out weekly frfr

vander and cassandra are chill owner to owner but cass and silco? they are each others biggest opp honestly

secret dating caitvi but they are only hiding it from silco and cassandra

jinx takes on isha as her adopted mini and its so cute

vi and deckard is a one sided rivalry with deckard thinking of vi as his rival and vi dgaf about this guy

we also get some good ole jaymelvik dating and timebomb crushing

please let me know if anyone wants more but this is like the bare bones of it lmaoooo
