Making a full post for my Fuuta Ballet AU because I actually had more thoughts about it hehe (Ballerina Girl)
+ a version of the au that's more general to the whole cast, with Es as the protag here!
As mentioned in the art, he’s exactly the same as canon except his life now revolves around dance. He’s in a very cliquey company (The Dark Pas de Trois?), surrounded by friends who are very similar-minded. Even though they're not in dance competitions specifically, they're constantly striving for better reviews/reputations than the neighboring companies. Fuuta struggles with stage fright, but doesn't let on to the others -- he just pushes through every time.
They visit a company rehearsing Nutcracker, and one of the snowflake dancers does something problematic backstage. Fuuta blasts him on social media for it, gaining popularity for his own account/dance company. Auditions and things go a bit smoother for them now that they’re internet famous.
There’s a scandal with the dancer playing the demon sorcerer Rothbart in Swan Lake, and Fuuta catches it on film. The video goes viral, once again boosting Fuuta’s popularity and ego. He’s praised as both a hero and talented performer. His friends are also soaring with this newfound fame.
Then, he catches a young background dancer in Sleeping Beauty doing something he deems worthy of a callout. He exposes her all over his social media. Rather than the usual social backlash, the girl is harassed in person. A crowd takes things too far, and an accident results in an injury that ends her career just as it was beginning. She will never dance again.
Facing his suspicious friends (and overcome with his own guilt), Fuuta flees the company. He plans on quitting dance for the rest of his life as well. Instead, he gets a mysterious invitation to the Milgram Dance Academy. He's never heard of them before, and the internet doesn't turn up much on them. Left with few other choices, he shows up for the first lesson.
The first thing that strikes him is it's a boarding school. He must live there and follow their rules in order to attend. They take his phone and restrict outside contact, much to his horror. The school solely focused on the arts -- no competitions, no big shows. There are three major shows they are planning, but Fuuta couldn't find any venues/tickets/advertisements, despite mention of a "global audience". The program is rigorous, and the instructor decides at the end of each semester if their final performance passes or fails.
The only thing more concerning than the sudden restriction of his phone is the strange group of residents he'll be spending his next few years with. His instructor is a mere child, no more than fifteen and very cryptic about their past training. His other classmates range in age and personality. He starts off dancing just as confident as usual, trying to show up the other students and make a strong first impression.
However, he fails the first semester. The grade list is made public to the whole academy, and Fuuta finds himself the subject of watching eyes and condescending whispers. Becoming sensitive to prying stares and audiences, he falls back into his usual stage fright. He endures (emotional) attacks from the passed students, although in his distraction he screws up some cues and gets injured.
Regarding the actual choreography -- as much as I love the classic shows (I mean, just look how cute he is as the nutcracker ;-;) my brain has been going brrrrr picturing ballet adaptations of the mvs... 🎹 / 🎹 / 🎹 / 🎹

Counterattack complete
Mwahaha. @good-beans may have attacked us guilty prisoners, but we weren't going to take these attacks lying down.
Phase 1: Think about what you've done.
Phase 2: Look at what you've done.
Phase 3: I’ll give back the judgment that you gave to me.
Consider who you're attacking next time.

Art trade with @good-beansdraws
Based on her Valentine's exchange gift from @adipostsstuff
I directly referenced one shot of Ai Nan Desu Yo for Mahiru and her friend. For Yuno, I assumed she was planning to wear the green/teal dress and put her in something a little more casual so it would be easy to apply makeup.
[Image ID: On the left, Mahiru is looking up and smiling. Her stylist stands behind her. On the right, Yuno sits with her eyes closed and her hair pinned up. A ginger-haired stylist stands in front of her and applies foundation to her face. In the back/middle, Fuuta leans against the wall/shelf. /end ID]
Scanned version and concept sketch:
Enjoy this gift while you can, Beans. This is the last nice thing I will do for you. *evil grin*
(Okay, well, it goes by an inspiration basis, but we both know I'm more likely to go into angst)

Back on my bullshit once more after the milgramblrgram poll 👏 The people have spoken, and they have forgiven me for my "scandalous" crimes..... which can only be the exact same as them begging for more, right?
Anyway I call this one "sometimes you gotta take your fave very seriously, with accurate characterization and themes and details -- and sometimes you gotta throw all of that away and make them your little paper doll to dress up in slutty outfits" 🐉🐈⬛️🐇
Edited some shading but I'm still not satisfied... eh, I'll fix it when I finish up the sketches 👍

Wooo I did an art style swap with @lostxmelody -- see hers here🧋! It looks frighteningly accurate >:3
I've never done a swap like this, and it was a ton of fun to try my hand at something new! I hope he turned out alright lol! Though, she's now made me insanely jealous of some of her techniques... 😒😂
