[cowboy-skeleton]

Honestly all the respect to my partner. Little did they know dating me would include...

Watching all 34 marvel movies

Bear obsession

So many obscure facts about various fandoms I've been in

Having to watch Starkid musicals

Having to join me in absolutely sucking at pubquizzes

Skeleton cowboys

Crippling Lord Huron addiction

Me performing the O I I AU O I I I AU cat brainrot dance at 2am, when they are barely awake and been waiting for half an hour for me to come to bed

[matthewmoorwood]

One thing that really exhausts me as reader is how a lot of books in the contemporary genre (specifically romance) absolutely murders human connection.

As in, sure for the first few chapters the MC's might have good scenes with friends/family but often those relationships are shoved into text messages and plot convenient conversations.

I love my bf so much, but I also can't sustain myself on just one person. I need to have deep and meaningful chats with my family and friends, I need to have conversations that don't involve my bf.

If my co-workers feel like chatting on our lunch break then I'm gonna chat to them and not be texting my bf. Face to face communication is so much more important to me than anything else.

Characters feel super hollow when they only chat to their family/friends over the phone or in environments that revolve around big social gatherings e.g. drinking

I'm begging for characters who also have their own circle of friends to share weird hobbies with, I want the regular D&D nights which means the MC can't go on a date bc they have to fight goblins.

I want friends doing errands together, I want silly convos about pop culture (fictional or otherwise) I want laughing convos about that one person from a shared past.

And there are ways to write that stuff without bloating the story or fucking the pacing! Showing a characters entire life gives the reader such good insight into how they function and how they approach the story conflict.

I want to be able to clearly picture that a character has a past, present, and future. I want them to have short-term goals, I want them to be nostalgic, I want them to be hopeful, I want them to be fully realized.

plz plz plz

That kind of stuff is what makes me emotionally connected to the story. I can enjoy something that just has a lust focus, but if you want me to remember a story plz plz plz have the characters be multi-dimensional.

I'm not asking for five character who each have a in text fav food, colour, band, book, movie and other facts. I'm just asking to see the platonic relationships I have in real life, exist in the fictional ones.

[ilovedthestars]

every time i see a post that mentions something "not being art" or being "bad art" (or being considered so by others but not by OP) i have the biggest "huh????" moment, and i'm beginning to realize this is probably a Me Thing.

see, in my mind there is nothing you can conclusively define as Not Art. Nothing. No matter what you think is Not Real Art, someone in the world disagrees with you. This idea has been built up in my mind by everything I've ever learned about art history or modern art theory, which includes entire movements of people intentionally doing art that was broadly considered to be Not Real Art. I've kind of just accepted at this point that there is no one fully inclusive definition of art besides "well, anything could be art." Which means that even though I have my own personal tastes in what art I like, and my own judgements of whether I think a work of art is successful, I'm willing to consider that pretty much anything "counts" as Art.

which is why i'm always shocked when i see a take that's like, abstract impressionism isn't Real Art, or something. my reaction is always like, guys, we've been over this, we did the whole "does complete abstraction qualify as a valuable form of artistic expression" thing ages ago, they put Rothkos in museums so clearly some people think they count, you don't have to personally like it but obviously this has a place in the art world.

and then I remember that not everyone took like three art history classes and had their brain rewired. probably most people have a definition of art that's more narrow than "pretty much anything if you can talk me into it." somehow this is still baffling to me though. who are you to decide something Isn't Art on behalf of all of humanity.

Swoony Sapphic Romance Recs

Ever find f/f lukewarm? (It’s not you, it’s an industrial complex.) My intention here is to collect canonical sapphic rep that avoids the flat “girl meets girl” trope, where two women with doubtful chemistry are made to get together simply because they exist in the same narrative. I want media that will make me feverishly ship characters and spend at least 24 hours reeling from the brainrot in the aftermath. I don’t want to like a pairing just because they’re sapphic rep, I want it to be good and unforgettable. These lists are a wild jumble of genres, loosely organised (mostly novels, but I clarify when they aren’t) and are in no particular order! I left out author names to avoid clutter. This is a living post and I will keep updating—please reblog or comment with your own recs if you wish!

[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!

[mwebber]

and can i say. the contemporary assumptions that reduce multi 21 to seb being a brat or mark being betrayed or whatever--they all go back to the core issue re: the fanonization of f1, where people have bought into the mythos and fanon of multi 21 and martian without bothering to understand seb or mark or seb&mark within the context of f1 from the 2000s onwards, within the more limited context of red bull racing, within the broader context of their individual lives, or within the overarching context of technological and societal advancements through the mid 2000s and early 2010s. these are real people. they did not exist and act in a vacuum of reality.

whether this phenomenon has come about as a result of twitter echochambers, general internet brainrot culture, a societal decline in media literacy and willingness to engage critically, or some combination of all that and more, is probably something that'll be studied by audience studies academics for years to come. regardless, i remain staunch in my insistence that, especially for rpf, we should continue to treat these people with the complexity they deserve. mark is not your cringefail momager, seb is not a grid dad, or whatever the fanbase has reduced them to. they're not fanfiction tropes, and i'm so glad eve's post shed some light on that.

[fatuismooches]

hi I got hit with dottore brainrot again while doing poetry so

dottore keeping all the poems fragile reader gave them before they fell into a coma. going from akademiya zandik to il dottore, he pretty much left everything behind. everything except for them and their poetry. sometimes when he gets lonely, he reads one of their poems before going back to work. he doesn't let the segments see them at first but they were a bit too nosey so they eventually find his stash. I think this is also the time when he'd finally be able to decode their poems. in the akademita, I don't think he'd put too much time into decoding each poem. but he quickly realizes how much he took their poems for granted

and god forbid one of the harbingers find them. be it the gossip duo(pantalone and columbina) or pierro himself, he will raise hell if they get even the slightest bit damaged.

he probably keeps them all in a controlled environment. like, the same humidity and temperature archives and museums use to keep old documents.

and similar with language, old poetry!! imagine shakespearean-esque poetry in the contemporary era. some might think it's outdated but it's the only poetry dottore knows so he loves it.

When Zandik became Il Dottore, he discarded much of his old self behind. Especially since you weren't there to stop him, having now fallen into a deep sleep leaving him only with your few items that still resided in the dorm, haunting him of what used to be. Your poems were most notable, the things he never cared much about, never understanding the point of them as he thought such things were a waste of time. Why would you waste your time on that while you could be doing far more productive things? Though you always rolled his eyes at his words and only said he'd understand one day.

Well, it seems you were right. It's been hundreds of years and he's finally decided to try and understand - perhaps he's finally reached the point where he needs to get closer to you in some way to cope with your absence for so long. So he reads, reads, reads, them all until every exact stroke of your pen is imprinted into his brain. He's always been very careful about how he treats him, these papers are hundreds of years old after all, one wrong move and they'll be damaged. And he can't have the only things that remain of you to be destroyed. It's funny really, to think a person such as he is taking such lengths to preserve not ancient documents and the like, but... poems of a simple person who loved a man like him.

(Trying to keep anything about you from the segments will always ultimately result in a failure. They're him after all - if they desire info about their beloved... well, they're going to get it.)

The gossip duo (😭😭) finds out about them when they barge into his office once again without any notice. Unfortunately for poor Dottore he can't just shove these fragile poems into a draw unless he wants them to get damaged. Pierro definitely knows about them already... I like to think when he recruited Zandik in the desert, he probably got a tiny bit of info about you (very tiny. he was not willing to discuss the love of his life with some random guy) but he also noticed how tenderly he treated your items... (he's not dumb, even a sinner like him knows love when he sees it.)

Old poetry ;)) <33 Reader perhaps being a bit self-conscious with their poetry since it's so different and old compared to the newer kind, but after finding Dottore's stash of your old poems, your heart is thoroughly warmed. You didn't think he'd grow to love your poetry so much but, you'll continue writing... for yourself, and to see him continue to scratch his head as he tries to decipher it.

[kavardakmaria]

Haven’t posted some of these here, because I want to have this blog mainly for Faust and the Master and Margarita centered content.

I also have done a lot of painting this year, but this is more of my professional practice as a contemporary artist, which I really want to separate from fanart.

My Faustian brainrot still makes me consume every bit of information on the topic — recently I started Doctor Faustus by Thomas Mann and it’s a really good read (makes me want to research classical music more).

[rmu-vincent]

actually, "rizz" is already in the oxford dictionary, and "sigma" is in the urban dictionary! They're many more examples too, like "skibidi" or "brainrot"

Dear Anon,

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. After having received this message, I feel the need to clarify the points I made in my previous response.

First of all, I take full accountability for the misunderstanding. I should have mentioned that while expressing my opinion on contemporary vocabulary, I was mostly focused on its presence in international academic and professional spheres, as I consider them to be the ones worth paying attention to. Slang terms differ from region to region, and despite being documented and defined, they are not expected to become common knowledge that runs through generations. On the contrary, most slang terms tend to be forgotten after a few months pass; this sets them apart from concepts that are present and understood all around the world.

Secondly, I have always found the presence of slang in dictionaries fascinating. A significant part of the English language used to be jargon and colloquialisms, yet now they are widely recognised as well-known, everyday figures of speech. This is the case with the word "okay," which first appeared as an abbreviation ("O.K.") for "all correct," as well as "cute," which was a contracted version of "acute" in the meaning of "clever" before becoming its own separate word. However, other terms have grown into anachronisms or forgotten alltogether.

In case you have any other information you are willing to share on this subject, please do not hesitate to message me at any time; I value input from people that are a pleasure to have conversations with.

Best regards,

Vincent Edgeworth

Fable SMP AU brainrot: Dancer AU Edition

Yall I've been thinking of AU things with @demidruid, it's been a delight. I want to show it here, even tho I sent it in fable-misc

Keep in mind the brainrot between me and Demi on this started because I saw dance outfits on Pinterest

-+-

Rae would be Ballet dancer did ballet for a long time because Isla did ballet but Enderian was his coach so it stopped being fun for him for a long time (Demi's idea)

basically fun ballet turned competitive

-+-

Aax would be an ex-cirrcus dancer for 'Telcan Cirrcus' but escaped, now with Ocie as a mer performer (Mix of Me and Demi's ideas)

-+-

Ocie would be one of those mer performing people, mermaid name would be Kai (Demi's idea)

-+-

Caspian would be in contemporary dance, like the group dances that mix different styles and such (Demi's idea)
