Soft Vashwood fic for WIP Wednesday please. Good luck with writing!

I may or may not have watched a bunch of videos of men dancing in swing and lindyhop competitions only to decide not to describe the actual dancing yet.

No regrets. (Except on how rough this is).

-

“Hey there handsome, wanna dance?” 

This was a daydream he’d never dared hope to see manifested. Vash couldn’t even form a “yes” through the sudden giddiness, just grinned back and grabbed the offered hand. Vash laughed as he was spun around and pulled against Wolfwood’s chest, felt his rumbling laugh in return. A brief moment and the lightest kiss was the only pause he got before they began to move.

Vash knew how to dance. He knew the steps of dances born before spaceflight, had been around humanity enough to know the ways they had since evolved. He knew Wolfwood was physically capable, graceful in the ways that slipping around corners to dodge a bullet makes you be. He knew he could keep a beat by the ways he would occasionally drum his fingers on the table when a song played.

What he did not know was that Wolfwood knew how to dance, and knew how to dance well.

Dear me,

I hereby pledge to continue to challenge my stamina until the day I move on from this life.

For many more exciting moments Lindyhopping.

Sincerely,

Me

Today is another day of sharing on "How Dance Resolves Conflict in our communities. Dance is a potential asset for the peacebuilding field, creating opportunities for nonverbal, embodied learning and relationships to the ‘other’. As a symbolic language communicated through the body, dance is one tool to support peacebuilders and communities in conflict to develop the range of their communication and understanding. Though the potential of dance is encouraging, there is also a need for ongoing reflection regarding implementation, and possible misuse of the arts. “Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.” – Rumi Join me at Musicals this Thursday 23rd Feb for a fun filled fellowship but yet a whole different learning experience as I Okurut cools down the Thursday evening with dance after taking them through how dance as an Art can resolve conflicts.

I dance as much as I can because that way, my life looks a lot less pathetic than it actually is.

I am so used to invisible isolation, I don't even think much of it anymore.

Sad, sad, pathetic little man.

Charles Lindbergh fez um voo histórico. Quer conferir como foi?!

Do y’all think Meeks would like electroswing and all that Lindyhop stuff? Cause I do

It was more popular in the 20s-30s rather than the 50s but its overall vibe seems like Meeks’ scene

guys i'm extremely curious to know which artists you think the dps boys would listen to! I think Neil would love The Smiths, Todd would definitely listen to Cigarettes After Sex and Charlie would be a huge fan of Eminem. But I really don't know about the others...

Swinging requires the use of your muscles, particularly the arms, shoulders, and core. Pushing and pulling on the swing engages these muscle groups, providing a moderate workout and helping to improve strength, coordination, and balance.

Scroll Time

Friday evening this week, I was just outside my home city when I realised my phone was left at home. It would have caused a 20, 25 minutes delay to get to where I was going, and of course, a brief moment as all was needed for me to decide dancing was more important - I happened to have other means to pay the entry fee.

And so, for quite a while, I had a social media free evening. I got to live even more in the moment, and I am sure I got a solid 2+ hours of dancing (was quite happy with one of the dances too, for the first time in years!). The Joys of Swing was so good, sad though, of course, that I couldn’t record a sample of the evening. 

Without realising it, in at least the last few months, I had unconsciously become quite addicted to “Reels” on Facebook and Instagram, or just the act of scrolling random content on BlueSky. I had previously tried to optimise the content so that , but the algorithms these companies use seem to prefer whatever it is that’ll keep me watching clip after clip. Often, as I recently noticed, my emotional regulation becomes that little bit more fragile, with me reacting to whatever it is that happened somewhere on our planet.

Eventually, I started asking myself, why am I liking some of these clips and leaving comments?

So, it’s now another thing added onto my self-improvement list. I am becoming more self-aware, and hopefully less time will be wasted.

When I got home late at night, I had missed exactly nothing from my phone. Nobody cared.
