Obi-Wan and Satine were made to dance to Hozier

Approximately 300 frames, many many tears, and 60 hours of my life later; I finally have the finished product. This Obitine animatic has been a dream project of mine and I’m so glad it’s finally done and I can share it with you all.

Of course Ahsoka has the receipts for the council

Can someone out there write a Jegulus competitive ballroom dance AU? I've been watching those videos where there are 2 people at an improve competition and they've never met before let alone danced together and then they end up having immaculate chemistry and decide to be each other's dance partners.

I would write it myself, but i know absolutely nothing about dancing. Competitive or otherwise. But I would kill to read this.

In the meantime, I guess I'll just have to reread 'You Signed Up For This' by Sollmussa because honestly, the dancing in that one wrecked me beyond repair.

.

Okay, I thought was done, but I'm so not. Here are some things about the AU that I desperately crave:

Latino James. Dance is actually his 3rd language and he's fluent.

Effie and Monty met each other in a dance class when they were teens, and then they were paired up with each other by the teacher. They had a bit of a rivalry at first, but then as they started dancing together more and more, they fell in love. The two ended up becoming very famous competitive ballroom dancers and retired when they had James. They never stopped dancing though and they engrained that love into James

Former Ballet dancer Regulus. He stopped dancing ballet after he finally left his family home to live with Sirius. He still loves dancing, but ballet has too many bad memories attached to it and he lost his love for it.

Sirius introduced him to this type of competitive dance via Effie's class. He still doesn't meet James until he's actually at a competition though. ^.^

Bonus:

Pandora and Evan did ballet with Regulus and Sirius when they were kids but left to do other types of dance before they were even teenagers.

Evan and Panda used to dance competitively together until Regulus needed a partner for his first competition and Pandora volunteered. Evan was cool with it, because it's Regulus, but there's a tiny part of him that's just like, 'Well who am I going to dance with then?'

Enter Barty, someone who is known among other dancers for being notorious for scaring away his dance partners.

Holy shit guys I take it all back. I need to write this. Forget the fact that I don't know anything, ja boi is gonna have to fucking learn.

Stay tuned because I might have some brainrot about this one as things progress~

One of the things that makes the dances of deduction come off as homoerotic to me is that they play out like actual dances, and the type depends on who Sholmes is doing them with (the dances of deduction he does with Ryunosuke have both of them making almost waltz-like movements, while Yujin utilizes tapdancing in the dance of deduction he's involved in).

Obviously, this could be purely visual and not what's actually going on, but I actually think that's incredibly unlikely (when you win a case in London fireworks are set off in the courtroom, let me have this lol). Susato mentions Ryunosuke having fun dancing around the room, and Ryunosuke compares Sholmes being knocked out to being left alone on the ballroom floor. Whether Susato's comment is meant to be literal or not, Ryunosuke's isn't but still evokes what is, traditionally, thought of as a romantic form of social dance.

Ryunosuke and Sholmes's style of the dance of deduction feels like what is traditionally a couple's dance.

Obviously this might be a stretch and me taking the term "dance of deduction" too literally (although "dance of deduction" in the context of both your "dance" partners being men is gay as hell) but the dances of deduction very much come off as an actual dance, the type of which depends on who Sholmes is doing it with, just for the fun of literally dancing around a room while working out what happened.

Finally colored these two dummies.

Didn't know what color to give Heinrix, but white ended up being the one color that went so well on him ( and some blue to go with Victorya ).

as an aroace person, nothing makes me think someone is hotter than when they can dance (like ballet dancers? ballroom dancers? you can GET it if we're only speaking hypothetically)

My spores druid in a long-running D&D game has always been the mom of the party. She is a 50yo half-elf from a rural northern village where she was adopted by a human couple who ran an inn that doubled as a bakery. Her town was largely a human town with no other elves or half-elves, and she was extra weird because she could hear whispers from fungi, so she was a little othered at first. There was one girl her age who did stand up for her a bit, and they ended up getting married at a young age.

Unfortunately, Winnie faced her first heartbreak shortly after when they realized that Vera would continue to age while Winnie still looked 20. Not being a full elf, she would age -- but still slowly enough that it would present a lifespan difference issue. The couple ended up divorcing amicably, and coupled with the death of her parents due to old age, it spurred Winnie on to leave home and make her way as an adventurer.

Unfortunately for her, Winnie finds herself waking up in a cave with her current adventuring party shortly after -- 2 weeks of memory lost -- and embroiled in a conflict between cults and gods.

Most of her party are significantly younger, even another pair of half-elves, and left her as the only responsible one in many situations. Paying for damaged inn rooms, healing, not immediately running off for one night stands. Everyone else in the party had romantic flings come up, but Winnie was focused on their job and had very specific rules for anyone she would be interested in -- the most important being compatible life spans so aging and loneliness wouldn't leave her upset again.

WELL. DM delivered this week, haha! Party went undercover to a formal ball at a noble's home to investigate, and Winnie was a fish out of water. "That rug is probably worth more than the net income of my entire town...." she was disgusted by the misuse of gold towards things no one could possibly need, and terrified to make a misstep and get caught.

Fortunately(?), the other two half-elves in the party are runaway nobles themselves, pretending to be Winnie's siblings to escape recognition. Her "sister" sees her floundering and drags her to the dance floor, where I expected they would get to talk a bit or Winnie could be educated on the life of the rich.... but instead, a mysterious woman in black spots Winnie and beelines. Winnie is terrified but greets the stranger, who immediately takes to flirting with her. This shocks everyone, as poor Winnie is usually trying to blend in and the other half-elves are FAR more noticeable. This woman, Angelica, barely even acknowledges Winnie's sister in front of her. As a bit of payback, the sister insists Winnie go dance with the stranger, and Winnie thinks perhaps it is a chance for her (with her +1 CHA) to gather gossip for the mission.

Instead, Winnie is taken by surprise how borderline obsessive this woman is with her -- even guessing parts of her backstory that she is wary of. Is this someone tracking her? Meant to be a distraction?? She seems more comfortable with Winnie than anyone should be after only a few minutes. Winnie also gets a vibe that this human-looking woman is not in fact fully human. The party has met several deities already, and fortunately the magic doesn't seem to have a divine flavor.... but hm.

Winnie gets her answer shortly after when they are alone after plot events, and the woman admits that she knew Winnie in the past -- and that she knows what happened in the missing two weeks, though she cannot share bc magical craziness. Angelica says that she and Winnie were close, and she wishes to have a second chance with her... and when Winnie hesitates based on the idea that she may be human, Angelica brushes it off and says she is even older. Stunned, Winnie asks how it is possible -- and Angelica says that as long as Winnie promises not to be mad, she would share. Winnie, being a spores druid herself and, therefore, rather more open-minded than your standard druid, says as much -- though reserving her right to feel emotions that are warranted and reflexive.

Still, Angelica admits that she is a vampire, and Winnie is a bit shocked. Only days earlier had they heard a tale from a goddess about a group of heroes who fought and killed a vampire who was laying waste to a village. But.... at the edge of her memory, Winnie knows that she has met another vampire. Certainly in this erased past. Angelica says that while she must eat, if anyone could help her to be better, it is Winnie, and that she is in love with her.

Winnie manages a 27 insight check (hooray druids!) and realizes that she is being genuine -- and that Winnie did in fact care for this woman before.

Viewing the fact that vampires likely don't choose their fate, this one seems to be making an effort to be good, and trusting the her of her missing memory, Winnie agrees that she will give Angelica a chance. And!!! This is someone who could meet her druidic lifespan, and someone arguably even harder to kill than she is.

Now, though, she has to introduce her to the rest of the party so they can go raid the dungeon underneath the ballroom, because D&D.

I'm 100% certain this will go well and there are absolutely no red flags in this relationship that she is ignoring at all 🤣

But before the inevitable toxicity of a relationship with a literal mysterious vampire from an unknown past, I made cute art of their first meeting :D
