oh gosh i really wish we’d had this ballet years ago but yk what, i’m so happy we have it now. i cant wait for the livestream. thank u B for your answer and review!! i’m so glad to hear all of it (idk how much you’re into ballet but regardless, really great to hear another perspective/opinion)

im not gonna step up onto my soapbox but i’ll just say im so glad this ballet has come about, that these were the creatives involved, and i really hope to see the ballet mounted on more stages, especially the world known companies that wheeldon usually works with

(and yes, a wlw ballet next pls)

omg!! pls how was Oscar?? so jealous, i hope it was amazing <3

Omg okay, the official B irregularcollapse Oscar review: it was fucking incredible.

This is a queer ballet. Not a homoerotic ballet, or a ballet with queer sensibilities. It isn’t undertone or allusion or subtext. It’s queer down to its core, and it’s unbelievable.

The plot is a loose adaptation of Wilde’s life in the years leading to his arrest and conviction, and his time incarcerated in Reading Gaol. Act I is framed by his short story The Nightingale and the Rose; Act II is framed by The Picture of Dorian Gray. The choreographer draws parallels between Wilde and the Nightingale, and Wilde and Dorian, to highlight/explore different stages of his life.

It was more classical in style than I was expecting, but I think the choice works incredibly well in situating the ballet within a canon of classical ballet romances; in the Q&A I attended afterwards, Artistic Director David Hallberg spoke about his career as a dancer and only ever playing across from a woman, having to sell a lie every night he took to the stage. Oscar is consciously a romance in the balletic tradition of romances, and they don’t shy away from everything signified by putting a gay romance on stage in an artform which has been significantly queer in community but blatantly heterosexual in performance.

It’s just as blatant, if not even more so, in its queerness, refusing to let the audience forget what kind of story they’re experiencing. There’s open-mouthed kissing, on stage, in the ballet! There’s a gay orgy, on stage, in the ballet! There’s sex with a drag queen (in silhouette), on stage, in the ballet!

There’s all the artistry as well, of course. The score is fucking brilliant, it goes without saying. Joby Talbot is a master as always. The choreo is gorgeous, it also goes without saying. Christopher Wheeldon, we owe you everything. The costuming made me want to cry, the level of detail—Wilde’s handwriting incorporated into the costumes of his characters; tree branches on costumes in the second act, as a reference to The Ballad of Reading Gaol; green carnations, of course.

I honestly may try to go again this week, because I can’t stop thinking about it. It feels so monumental, so important. It’s been a long time coming, and I’m so thankful to have seen it. And hey, you can too come November, no matter where you are!

Thanks so much for asking about it, it means the world to me ♥️

people are allowed to love being aro, ace, apl, or similar even if their orientation is caused by a disorder, by the way

[starmocha]

Growing up Vietnamese means that child me was forced to be ok that our origin myth is literally a dragon marrying a woman/fairy/goddess and then divorcing and splitting custody of their 100 kids (lol what)

What I'm trying to say is I've been brain rotting about dragon!Sylus for the past week and it's getting bad and I will only be ok once I write a dragon AU that has a lot of

Overprotective Sylus

Berserk Sylus that can only be calmed by MC

MATES FOR LIFE MORE SOULMATES SHIT

"I belong to you and you to me."

"I would let the world burn for you."

Egg laying 🙂

More dad Sylus because it makes me sob and yearn so badly pls send help

Even more grossly in love with you Sylus because I plan on contributing to this genre until I die 🫡

Really just lowkey need more Sylus worshipping MC like the goddess that she is type of content

"My queen" is going to make a comeback fr fr

I also lowkey want to write MC as a literal goddess and Sylus is just a lowly human who worships at her altar the altar is my hips but this something for another day maybe

"You've sealed your fate the moment you have harmed her."

Literally I just want berserk Sylus decimating the world for one woman is that too much to ask 🥺

Powerful man who rules over others and is feared and revered 🤝 the one woman who rules his heart and can bring him down to his knees

did I mention more soft Sylus It heals my soul in a godly way 🥹

idk if this seed will sprout into anything since I only have the ✨️vibe✨️ for it and not an actual plot lol 🫠 ok bye back to the other 38299272793 wips that I am a slave to

I saw this Tumblr post:

And I knew instantly what I needed to do

I’ll make this but with c!TNT duo in all my AU’s one day. But for now, just have this

[c-goldthorn]

unfortunately i agree and i feel like i jinxed it back in early august (late july? idr) when i said how lovely the mota fandom is bc shit literally went downhill the next day����‍♀️ seen sm questionable behaviour from mota ppl lately to the point of having to block. which. i never do.

so! don’t be a fucking cunt, be respectful, and tw/cw your shit pls. if u wouldn’t say smth off anon don’t say it on anon

have there always been arsehats dm-ing MOTA fic writers or are the writers just sharing it now? perhaps because the fandom has slowed down readers are getting antsy for more content?

either way, not cool. respect your fic and content creators who provide you with MOTA goodness for FREE in their spare time...

yeah i have noticed an upwards trend of cunty behavior(negative)

anyone gets mean anons send em my way I'll bite them lmao I don't play with that shit

[c-goldthorn]

cmon everyone say it with me: if i don’t like the thing, i don’t have to engage with it

really do ppl not know how to curate their online experience anymore

[anonymouscheeses]

I just want them to be absolutely head over heels with eachother. No one sided simping in my hazbin hotel!

[tubzthelilbeeboy]

I'm SO glad ppl aren't being pussies abt c!beeduo anymore like oh my God it's about TIME. THEY KISS. THEY ARE GAY. THEY ARE MARRIED ROMANTICALLY. THEY ARE IN LOVE!!!!
