Sorry for the watermark, but I just had to snip this absolutely adorable moment from "Into the Light" from the 2019 Tokaigi concert. To me, it almost looked like a private little dance between them; like Marina did a little curtesy, and then Pearl a little bow, like she was inviting Marina to dance . . . but then, given the conversation that followed the song, I think it was actually a little pantomime of how Marina tried to introduce herself to Pearl when they first met (when she didn't speak Inkling yet), and Pearl invited Marina to come with her so she could show Marina Inkling culture (despite not speaking Octarian herself)!
Well, regardless of what that adorable little bit was, things certainly did get kinda intimate for a moment there 🩵🩷

so I know I've been a big fat liar and haven't been working on that tma ballet au fic I've been talking about forever. like, at all. but it is still the thing I'm thinking about 24/7 and today I've basically been assigning signature ballet/opera roles or classical pieces to the characters. some I've already had in mind for ages. Angela (Queen of the Night from The Magic Flute) and Jared Hopworth (Escamillo from Carmen) have had theirs grandfathered in from other fics of mine, some are like "ok it's obvious if you see or know the piece but I gotta" like giving Giselle to Melanie King and Holst's Planets to Simon Fairchild. and today the ideas for more have just been churning.
