Hey @lilbluespeedster Dance with me? I bet you're a natural!

"Hey, nice guitar!"

He wasn't sure about what kind it was, but Danny had never been one for instruments. He could play a few chords on the piano, and that was about it. Where he shined, was his voice. Danny's voice was incredible, to say the least. He could reach low, sultry tones. He could hit angelic high notes. He'd spent his entire life working on his voice. Acting and dancing, too.

"I don't know much about guitars, but I did try to learn how to play one once. It hurt my fingers so much, that little kitten me didn't wanna try anymore. It was more fun to sing! Which is funny, because that hurt too. I'd sing until it hurt just breathing, I just couldn't stop myself!"

He's laughing, very lighthearted, very sweet.

"I'll pay you to play me a song I can dance to! By the way, name's Danny! What's yours?"

[adreaminmyheart]

He didn't mind waiting. Even performed just a little bit for some of the locals, though not on purpose. There was a song in his heart, and so long as that be the case, he couldn't stop himself from dancing. He'd just finished the first show of their run here in the Mushroom Kingdom, and he was dancing again! He just couldn't stop himself from music.

"Oh, Princess!"

He couldn't help laughing, as he quickly made his way over to her. Gosh, wasn't she a vision of beauty? The parasol only made her look even more beautiful, like the perfect accessory for her. A wide grin on his face, he waved to all the Toads surrounding her as well. Friendliness was this cat's middle name. He had so much excitement in his heart, he couldn't wait to see Star Haven.

"I was just entertaining some kids over there! Everyone here is so nice, it's a huge change from Hollywood. People there can be so cruel, for no good reason!"

He could get used to a place like this.

"Anyway, I'm ready whenever you are. I've been looking forward to seeing the stars ever since you mentioned it."

He bows to her, all proper.

"Mind if I be your escort?"

A chuckle.

"Even though you'd be leading the way."

"You're kind, Danny. Thank you." She took the star comment with a grace and that smile, before departing. Finding the director was likely the best bet to make sure she didn't miss anyone, but she wanted to tell as many people in person as she could manage.

It's probably a good hour or so for her to refind him while he was sight-seeing nearby. How much of it was just further conversations with his fellow crew to actual searching would be impossible to tell, but outside in the sun, she was holding that parasol. There were also a couple of toads keeping her company, but it seemed like perhaps they were on the job, even if she spoke to them casually.

"Danny!" one hand wave, the other spins that parasol. "Are you still looking around? There's absolutely no rush if so, It's been a minute since I've just walked these particular streets myself." People will see her around toadtown frequently, but she often didnt have opportunity to be a common visitor to other parts of her kingdom. She tried, but it could be hard between her duties and other interruptions sometimes. As such, she was definitely turning a couple of heads on the streets.

we may have lost another one to the bisexual hotgirl and straight loserboy agenda but trust i am fighting it comrades 🫡

[adreaminmyheart]

He wasn't sure what it was about himself that gave him such a magnetic personality. But at least in his experience, he'd generally attracted the right people. Sometimes bad things happened but the majority of the time, things were good. As long as he could follow his heart, no matter where it lead him, Danny was pretty content with where his life was.

"I'd love to!"

Arms soon relaxing to his sides, a soft smile turned to one of excitement. Why, he may have been talking to a world famous tailor in the making! How cool would it be to say he knew the woman behind the designs? Taking a few steps forward,

Andy was just a smiling, blushing mess by the time the dance was over. Danny's encouraging words, his optimism, it was all so infectious to the squirrel. And yet she felt something else towards Danny. His soft touch, the way he spoke...no he wouldn't be interested in her. Besides he had his dream career to think about. She couldn't take that away from him.

She was at least happy to spend just this moment with him. But when he said that he'd love to see her work, she thought maybe this could be a way to spend a bit more time with him.

"Well...I was about to call it a day and head home anyway. Would...you like to come see what I have been working on?"

In his right hand he has an open book and in his left he's holding Varian's glasses. He seems to have just looked up from his book at a new arrival. Varian is lying on the couch, his head on Thomas's thigh, and sleeping while covered by a cardigan. End description.]

that awkward moment when you boyfriend said he'd just lie down for a second and totally wouldn't fall asleep (he has so much work to do, he can't take naps), but now he's been sleeping for an hour and your leg is cramping so badly but you don't have the heart to wake him because he's been exhausted for weeks

[adreaminmyheart]

"Sometimes I wonder what I'd look like with a different body type. Maybe heftier, maybe muscular. I've heard people say I'm too thin, and it just makes me wonder. I don't feel bad about the way I look, just a little curious of what I might look like if I looked a little different."

A glance over at his guest.

"What do you think?"

[kyuala]

SOOOOOO hard to go through everyday life trying to ignore the never-ending feeling that im just irreparably fucked up and therefore should just give up on everything

[adreaminmyheart]

"That's not very good, y'know. You're supposed to eat at least three times a day."

Then he cracked a smile.

"How else are you gonna keep your energy up?"

Which is when he begins his walk, fully expecting the other to walk beside him. He had mixed feelings on whether or not some people deserved it. On one hand, he wanted to believe in the good in people, but on the other, he knew there were some bloodthirsty, cruel beings in the world. If there were going to be people like that, well, he'd just have to make his own smile shine a little brighter for those who had been attacked by that bitterness.

"Well now you have someone else to be nice to you. I'll still try to extend that kindness to everyone, but I know you're right. Some people just... don't learn. Don't realize what they're doing is cruel, or they do, and get some kinda power trip out of it."

Like a certain child star but he would name no names.

"I'll help you any way I can."

He felt bad, and not out of pity. Out of pure concern, and caring. He'd taken one teenager under his wing, what harm would another do? Special effects, filming work. It didn't matter what a person did. It was bringing out that passion, that flame in their heart. The flame that inspired them to do what they were doing in the first place.

The thing they loved.

Upon reaching the diner, Danny opened the door for Percy.

"Now, get as much as you want, anything you want. It's on me! And tell me all about your ideas, if you're comfortable. Always do what makes you comfortable. And by gosh, if you don't have the money to eat regularly, we can meet for lunch every day!"

Percy's never been good at letting people in that closely. Even if they just met, Percy would somehow, SOMEWAY fuck this up. Percy knew that this would be his ONLY chance and shot to make it somewhere if he had the word of someone who knew how to navigate around Hollywood and knew how to find the right people. Who could take on Percy if they saw potential in him. There's potential... right? Danny's optimism of Percy's dreams sounded... refreshing. No one to shut him down. No one to tell him it was childish or immature kind of dream. "I...I guess." Percy answered unsure of his own answer.

"L-Lunch? Yeah, I-I wouldn't mind. I haven't eaten since last night." Percy admits, his stomach already twinging at him to eat SOMETHING. Percy tried to ignore it during the morning, but now it's becoming evident that Percy couldn't hold it back anymore. He'd find SOMEWAY to make it up to Danny. An offer like this felt like a blood favor. Did that sound weird?

No one's... believed in him before except for Jeremiah who was rooting for him to make it big here. At least starting somewhere. It felt... uneasy having those expectations being placed in him. Danny's riding on a lot for a person he's just met.

"I guess so... though some people don't deserve it." Percy unsure if he was hinting at himself or at his parents who ruined his life for so many years? "The only person whose been nice to me is my best friend. He's actually the one who gave me the money to come down here to start my film project." Percy sighs and weakly smiles at Danny turning his shoulder. "He and his girlfriend travel a lot, said this would be a perfect place to start finding people to hopefully help me."

jesus fuck i feel bad for your poor girlfriend. just tell her you're a radfem

My gf knows I hold radical feminist views. Even before we've dated, I've talked openly and loudly about female liberation and sex based oppression, abortion access, hookup culture making young teens think theyre abnormal for not craving sex at 15, my thoughts on shaving, etc. She's even told me that talking about these things has helped her not feel the compulsion to shave her arms anymore.

She knows I'm a feminist and that I have radical views. The only thing I've never explicitly stated is that I'm gender critical of the trans movement as well (bc in general, this is social suicide and I have a career I want to protect). I have spoken about my gender critical views, I just don't call them that in conversation. Like I've ranted about the usage of terms like "boy clothes" and "boymode" to describe comfortable lounge clothing and that clothing has no gender. We've even debated about single sex spaces and even talked about JKR's funding of Beira's place. Like shockingly, we can disagree on things and still be together.

Idk what the point of your message really was. Is it "your poor gf" bc I complain about her very gendie/tumblr-q***r viewpoints? Or do you feel bc I'm a radfem it makes me a bad partner and that my gf is suffering by being partnered with me? I love her and want the best for her, but it doesn't stop me from being frustrated when she supports a movement that infringes on womens rights. I feel like I'm allowed to complain on my personal feminist tumblr about that lol

"What's great about dancing?"

He stopped. Oh, how he could have gone on for hours.

"The feel of the rhythm in your heart. The music in your soul, and the love you have for it burning brightly in your chest. That sensation where you just have to move your feet, get lost in the sound of what's playing. Choreography is important and all, but freestyling is just as fun, and I think it's one of the greatest forms of self expression that has ever been come up with."

A pause.

"Next to singing, anyway. Do you sing?"

"I told ya! I don't dance! You might be a fool but I for one, am not!" Dessy replied as he watched the feline prance around his feet. He would take steps, to make sure the other was always in sight.

"What's so great 'bout dancing anyways?"

AITA for not telling my fiancé I know he’s queer? 

I 20s (F) have a 20s (M) fiancé, V, and he’s been talking about this terrible secret he cannot tell me and he keeps almost starting to come out and then backing out. The issue is V and I were raised together by his parents, and my surrogate 40s (M) father and (now deceased) surrogate mother arranged for our marriage back when we were both children. They thought it was the best for us and at the time we were too young to realize the implications and had no reason to reject to the match. When we were teenagers our mother was on her deathbed and she told us again that she wished for us to marry, and of course we both agreed. However, V is also best friends with a 20s (M) guy called H, and they were nearly inseparable as boys and teens. They also went to university together and shared an apartment but V had to come home due to family reasons. Lately he’s been going out all day and coming home at night hours later. He insists that he’s fine and that we all leave him alone and not worry for him, but I think he and H have been sneaking around. He even delayed our wedding day by arranging a trip to go to England alone with H. It’s exhausting for all of us and I think I should just tell V I know and support him and that we can call off the marriage, but I’m not sure that’s the best course of action? I’m completely fine with not marrying him - he always felt more like a brother to me anyway - but I worry it might come off wrong. The worst part is he’s really beating himself up about it. He’s so guilty it’s beginning to take a toll on his health. I don’t care if he has a boyfriend I just want him to be happy.

EDIT: nvm he built an 8ft creature in his dorm

Steps are taken back, as the looming man begins to come closer and closer. A bit too paralyzed with fear, that was all he could do. When Vash began yelling, it did little to deter Darla's attendant. The massive being didn't think anything of the significantly smaller, spiky haired blond. He was out for revenge, for sending him around the world on a large Darla balloon.

That entire situation had been pure luck. If the massive theater didn't just so happen to have pointed edges, who knew what would have happened to him? Likely, he wouldn't have survived. Max was a punch first, ask questions later kinda guy. But he also believed in appearances, often properly dusting himself off whenever a job was finished.

So when he ended up half naked, there was shock and alarm. He may have been a brute, but he was far from brainless. He had to get away as soon as possible, he didn't have time for taking care of that annoying cat. For as slow as he had made his way over, he sure was fast in running away, massive footsteps causing mini earthquakes all around.

Only now did Danny's heartrate begin to settle.

"I can't believe you did that." A pause. "...I have those same boxers. In a much smaller size. That frightens me."

Danny's condition was noted, drawing out a more calm and collected demeanor out of the outlaw. Stoic and protective, he stood his ground as Max approached, staring daggers at the giant.

"Go. I'll handle this." A near whisper as a gloved hand gently nudged Danny's shoulder. And he could, he's toppled plenty of mountainous opponents before back home, his first towering over three-story buildings at least. The catch was that they all had a weapon he could easily exploit. This one, as far as he was aware, was unarmed. Time for a different approach...

A quick glance around revealed that the intersection was now at a standstill, which could prove handy in avoiding any injuries and even more damage... hopefully. He then scaled the pole of the nearest streetlight and walked to the space in between the lights themselves with ease in order to perch himself more at Max's eye level--or close to it, at least.

"Hey, c'mon, big guy! I dunno what your full gripe is with this cat fella, but you can't go dragging your issues out into the open where it becomes a problem to everyone else just trying to go about their day, er--evening. You almost really hurt somebody! And, best case scenario, you'll just end up embarrassing yourself! HEY--"

Jeez, this guy was dead-set on his revenge mission... and not much frustrated the blond more than getting completely ignored when offering 'advice'. He didn't want to hurt the guy to stop him, but he was getting dangerously close to where Danny was. A rather drastic (and incredibly entertaining) idea flashed in his mind to trip up the giant in a pinch.

Any attempt Max may have made to clear this noisy new obstacle was in vain with Vash effortlessly leaping to his shoulder. There were a number startled yelps out of the smaller man in the chaos that followed from Max trying to shake him off, but he did manage to produce a secret weapon: a knife previously hidden within the sole of his boot. A smile formed on the blond at its swift and successful deployment and followed up with sliding down the giant's back, executing inhuman precision to cut only the belt of those dress pants, grabbing the waist of those pants, and using his momentum to pull and bring them down with him--all in one fell swoop! Once he was securely on the ground again, those yelps from before shifted into an almost hysterical fit of cackling at the exact same grating pitch.

"Well, what did I tell ya? At least you didn't go commando today, superstar!" he taunted, referring to the boxers now revealed for all to see. He then darted over to where Danny was, ready to scoop up the feline to make a run for it.
