I heard you had Opinions about POTO and strictly come dancing?
i DO.
as much as i LOVE when they do phantom on the show, it's always a reiteration of the same style of dancing and to the same song - it's ALWAYS the title song. which is fair. it's the most recognisable song from the show (and interestingly, they always sing the version where the phantom sings "the phantom of the opera is now your mastermind" instead of "Is there inside your mind" - i don't know why), and it's also one of the most dramatic which lends itself well to tangos and pasodobles.
however, i'd like to see them mix it up a bit. for example, much of point of no return has a spanish theme because they're performing it under don juan. if they wanted to, strictly could absolutely utilise this for a pasodoble or a tango. i'd LOVE to see a version of the amanita dress adapted for ballroom dance. (i quite liked katie derham's pasodoble dress modelled on the dressing gown, so i'd like to see more of that in the strictly costuming)
alternatively, i think they're missing a trick by not doing a waltz to all i ask of you??? like seeing that would be my dream. that song would work beautifully set to a waltz - it has all the right energy for me with plenty of rise and fall in the music which is what a waltz needs - it requires the dancers to have rise and fall in the feet and knees. it would fit well thematically, and the costumes would again be beautiful for this. i can really imagine a traditional tail suit for the man in the dance to represent raoul, and then this gorgeous flared skirt for Christine with layers of shimmering white fabric overlaying pale pink and mint to represent the il muto gown.
i think a waltz could also work for music of the night but i personally wouldn't find this as interesting as all i ask of you, probably because i hate MoTN.
i hate the rumba, but at this point, i'd also accept a rumba to point of no return because i think it has the sensuality to work for that dance style. and they could also do tangos to that song - it has a lot of potential! and yet they keep doing those dance styles to the same song???
basically, i wish when strictly does do phantom of the opera performances, they mixed it up a bit instead of rehashing the same concept of 'oooh phantom of the opera so dramatic, so sexy'

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

the angel staying over at my house asked for a nightlight in their room and i told them buddy, don't you produce your own light? what're you gonna do with more? and they said they wanted to see why people like it so much. and also that the nightlight i own is blue and they've been trying to understand color. anyways i think they've stared at it for an hour now

It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.

Literally begging anyone who can vote in US elections to vote, and to vote against Trump. Which means voting for Harris, not abstaining or voting third party.
My family actually did move here from an authoritarian country, where voting literally didn't matter, they literally did throw out your vote, and they literally did assassinate citizens who spoke out against them.
We would all very much like to keep living in a country where those things are not the case!
You know, the same things that Trump and his stooges have openly said they want to do. And two of the main propaganda lines for why people in the US shouldn't vote, which is a lie.
Voting matters. The parties are not the same.
And make sure to vote in down-ballot races!!!
And like. The fact that voting matters in the US is a very real reason for hope. It is something you should genuinely appreciate. We can make a difference.
And a lot of people risked their lives or even died to earn that right, and it's a right not everyone has.
