Ykno, I've been thinking about the way discacc has a bit of a running theme with Dancing. Between The Dance (metaphorical dance to describe the entire time they weren't being upfront about things), goro's happiest memories with his mother being of them dancing, and then the literal dance marking the end of The Dance...

There's a theme.

Couple that with the fact that the original name of discacc was going to be Discordant Harmony (until I googled it and found it was a mlp episode and I CANNOT have that), and we get a definite theme.

Harmony, music, and dancing.

That's the source of the series name, Steps to Harmony. Recycling the use of Harmony from the original thing I had in mind, then coupling the fact that this is a series of steps towards them achieving their "harmony" (since discacc will Not be the end of their emotional problems lmfao) AND dancing imagery.

Steps to Harmony. It's a dance.

It all goes back to dancing.

#speculation nation #discacc shit #in discacc dancing exists to goro as an expression of joy and celebration of life #right after he danced with akira he thought about this. the way he'd only ever danced with his mother.#dancing was a precious memory with her not to be tarnished with things in the present. and so he danced with akira.#does that line stem from the fact that akira was in his past so it's okay? or the fact that goro loves akira so much that it doesnt matter?#honestly? more of the second.#goro had not danced with anyone before then since his mother because there was never anyone he would Want to dance with.#but he danced with akira. he celebrated life and love and happiness with akira.#and in the end it was a major milestone for their relationship. culminating in their first kiss.#a mundane first kiss. two boys giggling in an attic with their toenails painted. dancing to music played on phone speakers.#but the very act of that dance. it was something magical. a joy so potent for the both of them that it made the world rosey #despite the mundanity of the kiss. they both consider it perfect.#i plan to include more things with dancing. i have smth set for interlude fic Definitely.#but it's such a noteworthy thing for them. of Course i have to include it.#just like his mother. a downtrodden goro has no joy with which to dance.#but on the days where he can stand up without the world weighing on his shoulders #he will celebrate life with his love in one of the most human ways possible #through dance.
