I am graduating college today, and when the opening speech from the college president was done, we rose from our seats to sing our alma mater, Ave Maria as a gorilla played along gently on the saxophone, walking through the aisles along the audience.

Jordan peele is the best American horror creator because he is the only one brave enough to admit that chimpanzees are scary as hell

Quick! Your OCs are being dragged to the dancefloor by a friend - how do they react? Does the amount of people around influence that reaction? Or the kind of music played maybe?

GHFNFJDJFHB!? What a fun question omfg

Chuu has a vice grip on the sofa she’s sitting on if there’s more than 5 people at a party lmao. She’s not gettin up. N o p e. (Can sometimes be lured out onto the dance floor with a Waltzing number, but will rarely stay for longer than 2 songs before she’s found a way to slither out of being an active party participant. She’d rather chill and eat snacks and watch OTHER people look silly on the dance floor.)

Tuesday is ecstatic to be invited to the dance floor- but he only really knows how to do the stuffy Ishgardian Ball Dance when he first gets invited out to a party lmfao. The amount of people present doesn’t really impact his willingness to come out to the dance floor, but once he learns more ways to dance or even how to just, ‘feel it’ and make it up as he goes he gets much more excited about dancing to upbeat or quicker songs. He is Very good at not stepping on Toes :) (almost as if somebody didn’t want to deal with smushed toes…. 🤔)

Tangy is so zazzed to dance. She is…. Not the best at ballroom dancing or like, whatever you wanna call a couples dance, so. Watch your toes! It doesn’t matter how many people are there but being the center of attention can be kinda daunting :’> she’d rather dance to more upbeat music than slow dances so she’ll probs bow out for drinks and a snack during those to take a breather sjfjdkfs … pls also imagine her doing classic ‘dad’ dance moves or something from the Peanuts x3 [cut cos it’s Long 🫢]

….. 🤔 Ishi will gladly dance with a friend (or friends!) at smaller gatherings- and even invite others out to the floor x3 but at bigger more official events? She’s probably grateful for the excuse to step away from whatever Politically Charged Chat she’s been roped into regarding allied tribes or intercity relations. (She isn’t trained in dance, but will readily learn and follow somebody else’s lead •v•)

Mochiie is someone who’s reluctant to take an invite to the dance floor no matter how many people are present if there’s already people dancing and there’s not much space. He’s uh… conscious of his tail. (Poor guy sent a lalafellin couple sprawling once when he got tangled up in his feet, so he tries to be Overly Cautious now)

😂 Colette will indulge a friend in a dance, and relies more on being able to lift/twirl/dip her dance partner for flair - it’s an All-Eyes-On-Them situation. If Eorzean weapons didn’t have a habit of cracking under the pressure she’d probably be a tank. She prefers music with dramatic flair, to match her flashy dancing style. She laughs a lot more when it’s a Smaller group, there’s less performance pressures 🤧 (I should REALLY pose her dancing with Setsuna at some point… I’ll have to bug my partner for some files x3)

🤔🤔🤔 Levraut was the hardest for me to figure out. He’s classically trained in Ishgardian Dance? But he hates it. He thinks the whole thing looks silly, and he’s not so into huge parties (since they’re usually hosted by The Rich And Influential And Expect A Certain Class Of People yk) … he’d be a hilarious ‘sexy lamp’ for someone to dance with though… I think it would take him some time to feel comfortable dancing in the center of everything but he wouldn’t mind kinda grooving in place around the edges.

Until he’s 5 cups in. And then you have to haul him off the dance floor before he makes more of a fool of himself than he currently is, and tries to start a fight with the Violinist, because it quote ‘sounds like you’re killing the cat what made the strings all over again’ (regardless of if that’s true or not; a drunken Lev craves Rowdy Brawling and will Incite It)

… 🤨 I think that’s everyone if only because I don’t have a solid idea what the Trio would be like in a Party situation

[hvly]

you used draken to support your claim?

that bald dead ass man? time skip be damned, that man is dead and bald.

you’re only coming for his physical traits because you can’t deny that, like me, he is strong and dependable 🙂‍↕️the men that share your zodiac sign are terrible and ain’t got a pot to piss in. kinda like 🤔…

The Reason Barry is banned from any and every kitchen the gang will ever be involved with is a mystery that has baffled Johnny his entire life. But neither his dad nor his uncles will ever say what it was.

Marcus: "So when we get to this new place, first order of business. Barry, you're not settin' one foot in that kitchen."

Stan: "Forget cooking. I wouldn't even trust this one with a microwave."

Barry: "Come ON! It was ONE TIME! Are you lot ever gonna let it go?!"

Marcus and Stan: "Never!

Barry: "What I did wasn't even that bad!"

Marcus: "Tell that to the stove you ruined!"

Stan: "We almost got kicked out of that flat 'cause of you!"

Johnny (aged five): "So...what did Uncle Barry do?"

Marcus: "Johnny, you wanna go to the park when we get settled in?"

Johnny: "Yay!"

Marcus to Stan: "He must NEVER know."

Stan: "Agreed."

Tatsuma karaoke song? Super Rad by the Aquabats, of course. (Zenzo's there 'cause he's helping Zura with the inflatable background dancers)

my husband appeared in the anime <3

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I sung a song at a gorilla in a parking lot, which then promptly came over to the car I was in and started destroying it.

[joethetoonfanandoutcast]

Why can't Sing fans be happy with the idea of Johnny remaining single and not having kids? Not every main character needs a love-interest or offspring(s), some enjoy staying a bachelor/bachelorette. It'd relate to the audience more.

I mean, he already has his dad out of jail (technically doing community service but still), Stan, Barry, and a whole group of friends. Does he really need a spouse and kids of his own?

Fun Facts About Gorillas

While gorillas are young, they are typically primarily raised by their mothers. They rarely even let other members of the troop hold them, a behaviour even less often observed in mountain gorillas. Gorilla mothers carry their children with them everywhere, provide for them, share nests with them, and protect them constantly. They have even been observed to typically not put down their child for the first six months of its life at all. 

When gorilla infants get a bit older, they tend to begin interacting with their fathers more. They’re know to lean on them and involve them in their games. This protects the infants as their fathers care increases their chance of survival if anything happened to their mother, Because then, it’s reported that a lot of times their father becomes the main person to look after the infants.

Despite this, scientifically speaking, gorilla infants have only a 40-75% survival rate in the wild. Meaning, a significant portion of baby gorillas die young. 

Why is this important information? Because Johnny is a gorilla. To be more specific, he’s apparently a Mountain Gorilla. 

So yes, Marcus being an overprotective father makes absolute perfect sense. Especially if aspects of their base species are being kept besides their design.  

As does Johnny primarily taking after his mother and being a mom’s boy, even years after her death. Because he would have been extremely close with his mother during his early years of life. He likely would have been with her constantly, hardly ever around other people, besides maybe his father, and definitely not left in the care of others often. 

And Marcus would have become protective after Johnny’s mum’s death because that’s what Silverbacks do. They take care of their kids. He would be overprotective because he’s already lost a member of his troop and he doesn’t want to lose his kid now too.

"Each gorilla has its own distinct voice, and they sing louder for their favorite food. Leuf found that while all gorillas in captivity sing while eating, in the wild, only dominant 'silverback' males sing, to inform the group that it's mealtime and no one is excused."
