I just found the worst thing on this earth and I'm gonna be a hater for once (disclaimer: i have nothing against Junko Shimada but i disagree with all her choices about this)

the fuck is this

Pointe ballet shoes but make them fucking WORSE

it is double the worst feet experience i can think of. all the bad wirh NONE of the good

1. This looks fucking uncanny. ballet shoes do NOT look like that on demi-pointe bc they break ACCORDING to the foot. ballerinas spend a weird amount of time developing their own shoes for these fugly things to look like that

2. if you are gonna put that transparent platform at least make it the way pointe shoes go when on demipointe??. The platform is already shaping the foot to go on heels why not do the design work to make it look like pointe shoes if that's the goal? but noooo the angle is whatever the designer thought pointe shoes do instead of opening google and finding someone breaking on pointe shoes

ALSO, and the thing that enrages me the most, is the velcro wtf. Ballet ribbons look so nice, they are so pretty, but these abominations? they use the cheapest fabric for it and it shows.

... I want to say there is ONE decent thing and it is the ribbons are on the correct spot BUT THATS FUCKING IT

And the stupid little knot in front? awful. we do not like things to break the line, and that shit looks bad. The idea is that the shoe EXTENDS the leg and having those two antennas look weird, makes me so angry

another thing, the width of the heels also is so awful. I'm against people who don't know how to get on pointe to go on pointe, bc injuries are real BUTTTTT, these platforms make it worse. Like, when someone was creating a shoe, found cheap satin midway, and thought it would be a good idea for a clown show.

I've been personally victimized by pointe shoes, but the heel version is just worse. They look bad, look cheap, don't even respect the idea of a pointe shoe and don't even look like they fit the models at all.

in conclusion, I hate them

oh wow three of them! okay!! but also dang, sentences are short. so here we go in relation to a recent post I made:

“That’s the traditional way for training,” his grandmother explains. “Women learn to dance en pointe, and men dance demipointe.”

“That’s not a why,” Jon protests.

there aren't many writing prompts about dancing and even fewer about ballet so as a ballerina do you have any realistic ideas for writing prompts? i know it isn't exactly what you do here but if you have any ideas would be v greatful. also your blog is very helpful, thanks for running it 💗💗💗

Hi there!

Thank you nonnie, I’m happy you like this blog ^^

Well, I’m not quite sure as to which kind of prompts you would like to see from me, but there are a few details about ballet that I’d love to see in some of you awesome writers’ stories.

Let your dancers use rosin, complain about the fact that that stuff is sticky and stains clothes. Imagine someone has just bought a super cute new leotard and now it’s covered in white rosin stains: absolutely horrifying.

Speaking of leotards, some ballerinas who are obsessed with them. Maybe they could go shopping for a new one or exchange their leotards with their friends, try to dress as fashionably as they can and try out new hairstyles and elaborate chignons for practice.

Usually, dancers receive flowers and gifts from their audience and family/friends after a show. It can be a cute thing to write about: do they like the flowers? Are they better/worse/more/fewer than usual? Did somebody who usually send/brings them flowers suddenly not showed up (or the opposite)?

Dancers also spend a good chunk of their free time sewing and tending to their shoes. Pointe and demipointe shoes usually do not come with attached ribbons and elastics, so you gotta sew them yourself. The whole process of breaking in and personalizing pointe shoes for your own needs is actually a side of ballet that I rarely read about, which is a pity cause it’s pretty fascinating. I plan to write a whole post about this someday, but if you’re interested you could look at some videos like this one and describe the process.

Let your characters tease each other because of the role they have been assigned or act in character even out of stage/school for some extra shenanigans. Maybe they are on tour or they just transferred from another city: let them explore this new one and take silly photos together or try new horrendous recipes. Maybe they are from different cultures or speak different languages: how does this affect their relationships and their dancing? Are your characters still in ballet academy? Let them rehearse and practice barre on a balcony with their friends as the sun sets, let them caricature some famous ballet roles (my friends and I used to make fun of Odette all the time for example), let them gossip about teachers, look in awe at the seniors and look down at the juniors.

Ballet people (and dancers) are usually pretty young, so make them as lively and silly as you want: we usually like to explore and have fun.

I don’t know if this answers your question, shot me another message in case ^^

Hope this helps!
