The planets if they were all dancers and in a fierce tournament arc. They have drama like you cannot comprehend. For class!

Charles, a ska fan from the 80s: I used to have segs on my shoes, but a lot of venues kicked you out for that

Crystal, who grew up in the era of tiktok censorship: What- seggs? In venues? Elaborate please?

Anyone with a tsundere in their close circle knows how relatable this reaction is 😌. You done for, it’s only a matter of time but I’ll entertain your delulu since defense mechanisms are your comfort zone.

forgive me if this is too serious for an anon ask.. feel free to ignore it..

but this week shook me in ways i didnt see coming. i wasnt a one direction fan growing up.. tbh im still not, i listen to only a few songs. im same age as louis. so, i found one direction through him.

i have great affection for all of the boys though. and even in my short time in fandom, i've always been surprised and saddened by the bullying liam has gotten.. he just always seemed like a good person with really poor communication skills. to understand his point, you had to give him some space and context.

but this year has been a constant worried watch over liam. it was so plain things were desperate.

stan twitter got to me so bad that i left twitter the day louis' tour ended. so i was very peripherally aware of his recent harassment, but i did worry.

and now the unimaginable has happened, i am just at loss. not just in the sense of how to make sense of this loss, but also the complete lack of empathy for him still? even for other boys' fans.?? after they've seen how all of the boys' are hurting?

and just in the bigger picture.. how is this real? what loving god/higher power/whatver has allowed this to be the state of the world? he was so kind, so generous, just a boy. JUST A BOY. just trying to find a place to fit and feel safe. why was he dealt such cruelty? just while he was pursuing something he loved? something he was gifted with? in life and in death?

im just at loss. heartbreak doesnt even begin to cover it.

for me I've felt it was a constant worried watch over Liam for many years now, but other than that, yeah. It's hard to feel hope or faith in the face of so much senseless cruelty and pointless loss; all I can say is I would hope the millions of people who are shocked and saddened by this take away something lasting both about the fact that there are real people on the other side of the computer screen and cruelty has a real impact, and that addiction can afflict anyone. Nothing can make this other than tragic and regrettable forever; but I would love to see the amazing power of fandom mobilized to support programs for addicts and to fight stereotyping and dismissing of people who use drugs in Liam's name. To see people use this as a realization to really understand that it wasn't strange or exceptional that someone talented and worthwhile could succumb to addiction and ultimately die of it, but rather a plague that our society is allowing to run unchecked because of stigma. IDK, maybe I'm just grasping at straws trying to find something remotely positive that could come out of this situation but what else can you do? It's just so sad.

Hii! Ive been following your account since I got Tumblr and I really appreciate your page’s aestheticness and insight which goes behind making posts. 🫶

I wanted to ask, I have a dance performance coming up and I want to embody a specific energy when I go on stage. Is there any way of knowing what type of energy i could embody on stage through astrology, which would prove most beneficial for me?💃👯‍♀️

aww thank u sm that’s so sweet. i appreciate that sm 🩵

venus is associated with dancing so u should embody ur venus sign/house. let’s say for example u had an aries/scorpio venus, act fierce and intense. pisces venus, act majestic and ethereal. libra venus, dance with grace and beauty. capricorn venus, dance with class and good structure. gemini venus, dance with lots of energy. those r just some examples ✨

I really love this version of the song because its so funny and yet so accurate to their characters in how they'd deal with encountering clones like

Like you have Usagi silently aplauding hers when its beating up her friends and being cute but then she's like "wait I don't wanna deal with this" when it starts coming after her

And then Ami's like "I can't attack people who look just like us!"

And then Rei's like "I CAN" and is just waiting for an excuse to attack all her friends' imposters

and then Mako is like "I HAVE WAITED MY ENTIRE LIFE TO PVP MYSELF"

And then there's Minako who's like "Ok now that you are all done fighting, the two Sailor Venuses are ready to perform"

Dream flight, good night

Fly with me into the vastness of the night, fly with me to the stars, come let’s walk on the moon, hand in hand and kiss on Venus, dance around the rings of Saturn and come back to a rainbow, float on white flake clouds in the night sky towards our bed there we disappear into a dream world full of beautiful and wonderful feelings, just the two of us and no one else and nothing. I wish you a good…

"But she, as she danced with him, had become aware of her body, as if it had suddenly turned to flesh – ignited flesh, into which each motion of the dance threw a flame."
