Moon Maiden Contest Entry: Dance of Flames

At first, there is nothing but darkness and the slow, steady beating of a taiko drum.

The stage is dimmed despite the early morning hour, with only a kneeling silhouette visible at the center. The shadows surrounding the crouching woman start to blend and merge, forming the towering figure of a Ceruledge that now looms over her. A flash of magenta lights up the immediate vicinity as the pokémon opens its eyes, its fierce pink irises staring straight ahead into the crowd as the beat of the taiko intensifies.

A captivating bluish ball of flame unexpectedly emerges at the front of the stage, followed by another, and another. The flames weave an intricate swirling pattern across the stage and around the two figures in the center until they illuminate the entire platform in a brilliant blaze, revealing Blue now standing in the center of a circle of flames. She is dressed in a deep blue yukata with a light blue and white floral pattern, fastened with a silver obi. She looks beautiful with her hair elegantly styled and adorned with a sparkling crystal Butterfree pin. As she holds out the sensu in her hand, her eyes seem to glow in the flickering light.

The distinctive sound of a shamisen cuts through the air. Blue sweeps her free arm upward, then slowly raises the pleated fan overhead to showcase its beautiful pattern. With a graceful twirl, she moves to stand beside Ceruledge, holding the sensu closely to her chest. The pair seizes the moment to bow deeply to one another before the dance begins.

The shamisen and taiko resonate together in harmony, and both trainer and pokémon allow their tune to guide them. With eyes downcast, Blue takes smooth, deliberate strides as she dances around Nova, every step and sweep of her sensu punctuated by purple sparks and flames. The Ceruledge is nimble in her movements, her blades glowing with purplish ghostly energy as she compliments her trainer’s gestures with arcs and sweeps of her blades.

As the music crescendos, so does the intensity of their moves. Blue’s eyes flutter shut as she focuses on feeling, not sight, relying on her bond with Nova to anticipate where the Pokémon’s blades will strike next and visually parrying the moves with strokes of her sensu. The two are locked in a dance of fans and blades, simulating the heat of an epic battle, until Blue suddenly stops, her back to the crowd as she faces Nova.

The heart-pounding instrumental music comes to an abrupt halt as she snaps the sensu shut. The gentle sound of a flute now fills the air as she turns to face the crowd, her face illuminated by the ghostly flames. Her sleeves flutter like the wings of a Butterfree as she gracefully sways her arms and then opens the sensu again with a flick of her wrist. Nova remains as still as a statue behind her, focusing all of her emotions on her blades until the flames glow incandescent blue. The Ceruledge's eyes gleam once more as she summons a whirl of ghostly flames to coil around her trainer while Blue is absorbed in her slow dance.

As the tempo of the music coasts down, Blue sweeps the fan in front of her face and holds it out just as it catches in cerulean flames. The stage is once more enveloped in darkness as Nova extinguishes all the pyrotechnics, the music gently fading away. In the darkness, Blue and her partner both take a bow as their appeal comes to an end.

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

i'm not like other guys i take an angsty au and make it a comedy

Ford: I've managed to record substantial evidence on tape, such as floating objects, footsteps that are not my own, and radio weirdness; The host or singer will slip in observations of my being that I simply cannot chalk up to coincidence. Whether this being is a ghost, or one of Bills tricks I've yet to discover… There are more dubious encounters such as the whispers, spine shivering chills, and of the brief shadowy figures I see down dark hallways. (Proof of an apparition? or simply a hallucination dreamt up by my sleep deprived mind?) I fear my mind is slipping further and further-

Ford: What is that blasted noise?! Stan: Cartoons got ghosts shockingly realistic! Ford: Reminds me of... being annoyed.

i really can't emphasize how heartbreaking it is that the recent harassment campaign against @/90-ghost (among others; see: 1, 2, 3) has led to well-meaning people telling others not to listen to him. he is one of the most visible survivors of the genocide here on tumblr. his entire journey of escape is so well documented! and yet, it only took a few people confidently pointing fingers to create an entire witch hunt accusing him and other palestinians of being disreputable scammers and liars.

i can't help but feel like the reason why people were SO eager to believe those accusations, is because it was uncomfortable to see posts from palestinians every day asking for our time, attention, money, and support; so when someone presented the perfect excuse to ignore all those posts and asks while also taking the high ground, people just LEAPED onto it. they wanted to believe it, because it would be more comfortable.

honestly, i understand feeling overwhelmed by bad news, by the number of asks and messages in your inbox, and so on and so forth. i understand needing to set boundaries for yourself so you don't get burned out. i think this is really when you have to have a set of principles to fall back on, even when you're tired, uncomfortable, angry, and/or sad. so here's the one i suggest, which has been working for me best: don't make your discomfort with this situation into someone else's problem, and for god's sake don't make it a public problem.

if you hate seeing fundraiser posts or news about gaza, i can't emphasize this enough, JUST MOVE ON. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND SCROLL PAST! all you have to do is absolutely nothing. which is what you were doing anyway, so it shouldn't be hard. if you don't have the heart to read, or reblog, or share, or donate, or support in other ways, at the very least, don't obstruct the efforts of people who ARE trying to make a difference. this is, quite literally, the least you can do.
