#maybe i should take that up again

I just read ur hc about Fingolfin being a dancer and can I hear more about our dancing king please?

Happily! I could talk about Fingolfin for hours-

Indis is described as being "exceedingly swift of foot" and loved to sing and create music. I believe that she passed these traits down to her children in different ways and capacities: Findis is a great singer and loves to run in the fields of Valinor with her mother (I hc that she's the most like Indis), Lalwen is also very athletic but Indis' musical traits manifested in her through a love of playing instruments rather than singing or dancing, and Finarfin is less athletic but also enjoys singing and making music (he hangs out with the Teleri after all). And, of course, Fingolfin, who has the agility and swiftness of his mother in an even greater capacity, which translates in a musical sense to dancing.

In my headcanon, he had an affinity for it from a very young age, and he befriended Nessa in his youth, and she taught him how to dance. The Vanyar are very close to the Valar after all, and Indis is kin to Ingwë himself, so I think her children would have quite a few friends among the Valar.

Fingolfin was really talented at dancing, hence why he was noticed by the Vala of dancing herself. He has complete control over his movements and has the stamina and strength to never tire, and the way he twirls and flows and prances around is so mesmerizing it makes the viewer forget time is passing. He was well known for this among the Vanyar, who value beauty and the arts.

The Ñoldor value skill in crafts and words, however, and Fëanor especially, and I think this is where the self-consciousness I mentioned in that headcanon post comes from. Fëanor would absolutely take every chance he could to prove he's daddy's #1 boy, and I believe this would include belittling Fingolfin's dancing skills, as well as taking every chance he could to overshadow anything Fingolfin tried to do with a fancy new smithing project that would naturally get more attention from the Ñoldor, and from Finwë, than dancing ever could. At some point, I think Fingolfin started being ashamed of his own hobbies and abilities, and eventually his insecurities made him swear it off entirely (at least publicly, in private and with his siblings and mother I think he still found joy in dancing).

He never lost his skill in it, however, and I think this became important during the Helcaraxë crossing and in the wars of Beleriand. On the Helcaraxë, Fingolfin taught his people how to step lightly and swiftly so the ice beneath them wouldn't break, and so they could spring to the side if it did. He taught his soldiers agility and footwork, and how to move your shoulders and arms so that they become one with your blade. Fingolfin fought like he was dancing, and he fought so beautifully that sometimes orcs would stop in their tracks, hypnotized, and in the blink of an eye he'd strike and they'd never move again.

I like to think that Fingolfin regained a lot of his fractured confidence during his time as High King, when he realized that he had useful skills that Fëanor never had, at least until the end. We all know how Fingolfin kept leaping aside to dodge Morgoth's attacks, "as lightning shoots from under a dark cloud", and only faltered once he became weary. Since I headcanoned Fingolfin as being nearly tireless in his dances earlier, I think his weariness during this duel came from a place of burning himself out with such intense fury and despair, as well as the duel lasting a long time, potentially hours.

And once he was reembodied, and came to terms with himself and accepted both his own strengths and weaknesses, he officially took up dancing again. Elves from all over Aman come to his performances, and he has a particularly famous number where he reenacts his duel with Morgoth. He does duets with Indis and Nessa, and also regularly spars with Eönwë, since to him that's just another kind of dance.

Hope you enjoyed my word vomit about dancer!Fingolfin~!

I think this is one of my favorite lines from the Wraith route because of (imo) how much the meaning changes depending on if you got there via Spectre or Nightmare. For Spectre, it honestly strikes me as a genuine question. Why are you doing this to her? If you're on the Spectre route, you presumably already know the Narrator can't really be trusted, since you had to reject his reward to get here. What are you hoping to gain from continuing to hurt her? For Nightmare, it honestly just makes me sad. As the Shifting Mound describes her, "She desires only companionship, but the only thing she knows is how to hurt." This line feels like a plea from someone who genuinely doesn't understand why you keep rejecting her. She wants to be with you, but she just can't understand how to do that in a way which doesn't hurt you.

the poor little meow meow-ifictation of saionji in this fandom has got to stop i can't take it any more

[lynxalon]

i've seen a fair bit of... pessimism about dorym lately, esp with the ep107, for example wondering if dorian's opposing views on the gods making orym fall out of love, and i have to say. i very highly doubt it, ur fr talking about the man who has held on to will for so long, holding onto will's family and affectionately calling this *his* family too because that didn't stop when will died. i dont think falling out of love is an option or even a thought to orym.

that said, we know that orym has contingencies for if anyone in bells hells crosses the line into being a version of themselves they would despise, for anyone who jeopardizes their mission. his mission. i think, for the first time since knowing dorian, orym finally has a contingency for him. the longer dorian is back, the more orym sees how scarred he is by what's happened (understandable so) and knows that dorian is with bells hells all the way. but if he isn't...

First passes at comics are always so wonky avsjdkdbbd

[mickeym4ndy]

I can’t stop thinking about a fanfic idea where Mickey does 8 years in prison after season 5 as planned, and when he gets out he moves to whatever city Svetlana and Yev live in, determined to move on with his life.

And then 8 years later when Yev is like 17, they’re all back in Chicago for a few days because Yevs got a big soccer game or something for school. Anyway they lose the game. So afterwards, him & his friends sneak out of the hotel and end up getting into a fight with the other team and one of them gets injured so an ambulance is called.

And Yevgeny isn’t hurt or anything, just a black eye and bruised knuckles. So he can’t figure out why the red headed paramedic keeps looking at him like the guy has seen a ghost.

But then, his mom and dad arrive, ready to cuss him out for being so stupid. And Yev notices his dad and the paramedic look at each other with that same stricken expression that the red head was wearing earlier, and he starts to piece it together.

And so 16 years after Ian and Mickey’s break-up, Yevgeny meets his dad’s first love and gets to witness their long road back to each other.

Hi! Hope you're having a lovely day ✨️

Valeria and Gaz with a fashion designer s/o! Dressing them up and using them as a practice model to test new designs... this has nothing to do with my need to put Valeria in a suit, ofc not

Anon, you're so galaxy brained for wanting to put Valeria in a suit in all honesty! She'd look so good in one because women always look good in suits!

Gaz and Valeria with a Fashion-Designer!S/O

Gaz: He’d honestly be so flattered you wanna use him as a practice model. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a very pretty man and he’s well aware of that fact, but he didn’t think he’d ever get that sort of privilege. The first time you measure him he’s a bit confused, but complies, asking you with a chuckle about what you’re doing. However, as soon as you present him with a jaw dropping suit that leaves every other one in the dust, he’s a big fan. While he may have supported you from the very beginning as soon as he heard that you’re a designer, his support skyrockets as soon as you present him with the first piece of clothing for him to wear. He feels so very fancy wearing it. He may be used to wearing fancy clothing from time to time when invited to certain occasions, such as weddings, but he never really paid much mind to that sort of thing. Once you’ve put the first article of clothing on him, he’ll ask you if you wanna use him as a practice model again at some point. Only if you feel like it, of course. He hopes you’ll say yes, he loves how creative you are and the things you create. You’re a lovely designer who puts their heart and soul into it all, and it shows. Although unprompted and despite it being a bit silly, he’ll also pose and do that one walk models do where they sway their hips. He feels pretty in your clothing. If he can afford it, which he likely can, then he’ll even buy some of the things you’ve made. And yes, he will 100% wear them as well, doesn’t matter if it’s a fish tail or if it’s a shirt with a dragon on it. He unironically loves it and will wear it whenever he can.

Valeria: She chuckles a bit when you ask her to put on some clothing you made. Valeria is a very attractive woman, and she knows it, so she’s not at all surprised when you ask her to put on a suit. She’s worn those before, and every time she has she was turning heads left and right. If you blush while seeing her in a suit then she’ll chuckle and trap you against the wall before letting you continue whatever it was you were doing. Like Gaz she wholeheartedly supports you, and she’ll own every single article of clothing you’ve ever created. While she may not have the time to wear them all every time, you will catch her wearing your creations from time to time, if there’s no danger of them tearing. Valeria’s glad that you trust her enough to want her to try on all your prototypes and will gladly pose like a professional model for you and you only. The first time you measure her she, too, would be a bit confused and would ask you regarding what you’re doing, but afterwards she’s more than happy to model for you whenever she can. She doesn’t have a whole lot of time for that, but the things you do for love. If you ever want a real, professional model, she can arrange one, though, it’s no problem for someone like her. Besides, she has a pretty good eye for fashion as well, so she can give you some hints regarding what could look good and what might be a complete no go. You don’t have to do as she says, but she will point it out if you do. If she ever does find herself having the time and there’s a fashion show that shows some of your clothing, then she’ll watch it and jokingly tell you that she looked better in your clothes than all those models did. If you ever need some creative inspiration then I’m sure Valeria can help you as well, she’s seen plenty of things and is always more than happy to help you. Besides, she can get just about anything as well, so you really don’t need to fret if you wanna feel the fabric of something yourself.

every now and again i think about the fact that all of akito's shit behavior in main story was spurred on by the fact that he wasn't able to get an to join BAD DOGS . lol

jaykyle au where they're theatre kids in the same school but they're not the actors jason's the scriptwriter/director and kyle is the prop manager (i don't know the official terms sorry) and they'd probably do an amazing job on the backstage setting if they could stop arguing for 5 whole seconds about their artistic visions and ideas and how "this would obviously work better this way"
