#im obessed with any media that uses the medium it was created for as an intentional storytelling method

No no it's SO cool. One of my relatives worked in the ballet (and opera) for like 20 years, while it's not my thing the art form is so cool! And hearing people talk about stuff their interested in is always so cool! Also you have some really fun ideas. Like the imagery of it being in black and white with the red scarf!!! I can just see it in my head and it's a vision! And useing the language of ballet to tell the story of the game, is just... it uses ballet tropes the same way isat uses video game tropes, to intentionally point them out, play with them and defy them to further the story. Which just... when people play with their medium like that.... woah!!!! Like isabeau playing up the "only guy in this ballet" thing as a way to play into his initial appearance as the "big dumb guy" trope, but then it also doubles as a part of his insecurities just like the trope dose, or mira being dressed as a protagonist which highlights her role as stereotypical video game protagonist. Also bonnie as "untrained child on the stage" sounds both so incredibly charming and like it could deliver a devastating emotional blow when the audience suddently remembers that Bonnie is not just plucky happy child charecter.

Odile not dancing untill suddenly pulling off all the moves is in charecter and an amazing image.

You had such a vision for it you made me want to see it becuase it seems like such a cool way to play with genera conventions and tell the story of the game. I'm obessed.

Wait. You did both Dress rehearsal and had that awesome post about the isat ballet?? Your so cool! That's awsome

lksdjfafj thank you although i am tickled about the two things you have chosen here that makes me look cool. i think my ballet posts definitely make me sound like an old codger LOL
