silks routines are so bloody hard because on verticals you have no way of truly letting all your weight go - so they're fine for one or two moves at a time, but unlike trapeze or hoop or sling etc, you can't sit on a bar or anything to relieve the weight fully, so for a routine, you are in the air supporting your own weight for minutes at a time and its bloody exhausting. yes the verticals are still my favourite and i always ask to do them and i love them so much and no i don't know why i do this to myself.
Never be afraid to put yourself first. Healthy love is worth the wait. You owe it to yourself to have firm boundaries and high standards. You're the person you've always wanted to become. You will be.
currently thinking about how fun and common it is to write Things You Are Into/Knowledgeable About into fics (or draw into art/comics, etc) but how quickly wild it can get depending on the level of niche interest
eg, i remember to this day a fic that was quite solid across the board, an entertaining though not mind-blowing ride— but it had the most in-depth and fascinating descriptions of *specific* leather tooling techniques. Leather work was not at all the focus of the plot. Just deeply worked in via a hobby or side necessity of the adventure that had the most loving descriptions ever and it was really clear what hobby the author had- and I loved it haha.
my current personal example is Oops, I Am an Aerialist Now and That Is Deeply Obviously An Author Insert Interest in any given fic lmao. How many Fancy 2 Story Curtains with Strong Anchoring can I work into a fic…….. how many curiously 3ish foot steel hoops hanging from a strap is too many…… a suspicious number of secure but loose ended vertical ropes is normal right………………… Chekhov’s rigging……………..

i AM going to tune out now because i just do not go here at all and i do not expect to see the lads again after having to scrape themselves up off the floor like a looney toons bit. this is all the dose of wrestling i can bear right now
Going up upside down... That's it, just a gif of me going up haha 😂 It was my first time being fully inverted in the winch and OMG it was AMAZING. (Look at my face -- is my radiant joy showing??) I am so unspeakably happy that I've discovered a way to dance again. It's not a little bit ironic that I had to kind of invent it, and that as incredible and frankly dangerous as it is, I can dance in literally no other way. Fuck chronic illness, and fuck gravity. Today, we dance in the air.
