The wedding dance is my favorite dance for sure. And while I adore that BTS video Nicola shared (how generous is she, btw??) and watch it frequently, I really do like what we got in the final edit. Plus, kudos to Tom Verica for imagining the cutaway and springing it on the cast day of filming. Brilliant directing choice.

When Penelope approaches Colin -- after they've been longing for each other at their own wedding?? -- Colin's so game to do whatever she wants. He thinks she's going to ask him to ditch the breakfast, and he's like, where?

But it's lovely that instead, she tells him she'd like to dance with him. And as he's half-heartedly pushing back, you can tell how he's still so charmed by her. By this time, they must have danced with each other a hell of a lot. I love that Penelope constantly reminds Colin of their dance in the empty church. It was just a silly, romantic something Colin did on the fly, but clearly it meant so much to her.

"You Belong With Me" has been Penelope's anthem since before the series started, and it has been Colin's for a shorter, but no less intense, amount of time. And they're in a very uncertain state in their new marriage, so the song still really works.

They may not be ready for a real conversation just yet, but the dance erodes away some of their tension where they can just enjoy each other. And it's funny because as much as Colin postured about not caring what people thought, he's the one scandalized by Penelope's offer. But he extends his hand and leads her to the center of the room without showing any reluctance.

What's so special about this dance is that it spurs other characters to take chances too. The ton has been more or less intrigued by this match, and others have been downright obsessed. So the two lovely dancer couples who probably have very sweet backstories join in. And now it's a dance, not a scandal.

It's not just Colin and Penelope making a statement, but really, it's them giving everyone else permission to just kinda live a little. Who cares if it's a wedding breakfast? And yeah, people might be shocked later on that Penelope is Lady Whilstledown, but can they really say that if they were one of the wedding guests? Penelope has always been challenging the status quo, anonymous or not.

And then John is inspired by the couple's display of affection and rebellion and asks Francesca to join in. And Marcus, who is definitely a romantic, sees the love flowing among Violet's children and their partners and takes that opportunity to approach Violet.

The beauty of this is, the entire time, Colin and Penelope have no bearing on their surroundings or what sort of catalyst their impromptu dance has become. But the rest of the ton do. And instead of becoming scandalized by this faux pas, everyone's actually pretty charmed by it.

Obviously, the intensity during their dance is so magical and the best part of the entire thing. But I really do love how earnestly everyone else responds, too.

Oh, you know exactly what you’re doing. In fact, I bet you do it all the time. You give girls that, that look and expect them to fall for you. Well, It’s not working with me, so get over it.

Rutilated quartz is an absolutely beautiful stone featuring small slivers of titanium dioxide that appear like shards of gold. This stone is beloved for its ability to clear the chakras and balance the body. 

Referred to as “mermaid tears”, pearls are my favorite bits of sparkle to work with. These freshwater druzy rosebud pearls come in colors ranging from purple-gray to bright and soft pink.

These earrings were made by my hand with loving care. Each crystal, pearl, and bead was selected intuitively! I'm selling on my KoFi if you'd like to see more pairs :)

Instead of an Elf on a Shelf, children should be assigned a SHIELD agent who does incident reports.

Our tree didn't pass today's inspection because of this dead bulb. Fury Claus will be hearing about this in his next report back to HQ. 🥺

Third and final drawing of him for now. This is probably the most I’m gonna be able to stylize him before he looks completely unrecognizable lmao.

(Sorry for not answering yr ask yet, i need to get to that soon but I've been busy with schoolwork and studying lol)

ok hear me out here it might sound rlly weird but just hear me out

swan lake au, sterling being rothbart, jackson being odile and cruz odette. Instead of a romance between her and a prince lightning is her mentor that grows fond of her over time in a fatherly kind of way and eventually has to save her later on

Are you pulling from the 1994 Swan Princess movie in that the prince and odette are at first antagonistic and then learn to bond over trying to break rothbart's curse over odette.

Lightning thinks that Cruz is your typical snotty spoiled privileged ingenue princess and Cruz in return thinks of Lightning as an old fart and a general sick in the mud knowitall. Gradually both of them start to reevaluate each other as they get closer to finding out about Cruz and Sterling's past and why she becomes a swan.

Jackson meanwhile is running every kind of interference against them on Sterling's orders (emotional manipulation, miscommunication, flat out lying, hurling insults at the both of them)
