#she's extra nervous

[danaxbe]

the unseen scene

a last minute lime entertainment audition tape. jk dance studio. dance ref: greedy by ariana grande - dana surprises herself by auditioning the prestigious entertainment company, lime entertainment.

She knows she really shouldn’t(whether that’s the insecurity or the bitterness talking is anyone’s guess). She knows her reasoning, at first hadn’t been the most genuine, and really that’s enough to make her hesitate for the longest time before being convinced by new-found friends she even had a shot in the first place. And even then, it had taken a week of sitting in, her legs going numb from sitting on the hardwood floor her classmates were practicing until their muscles ached to even really get the idea somewhat planted in her head. It wasn’t that different from performing anyway, except– it was entirely different. The idol life isn't simply a dance recital, or a gym meet. It wasn’t performing at a football game, or stepping on stage for some dramatic theatrical number. No, being an idol was something else entirely. So many of her friends had been practicing for years just to get one but hopefully both feet through the door. Of course, it hadn’t been too entirely successful, considering they were trying despite all the rejections, they were here auditioning for lime entertainment. She knew they were a big company, and actually, she liked a lot of their stuff. 

Really, it’s her older sibling that slips up over the dinner they manage to make time for with their parents. This time, the younger one is present too, for once he didn’t have lessons to attend. And as usual, it’s a normal dinner, one that is filled with talks about the future and how classes and/or work is going. 

And then she says it. 

It seems like the rejection is just another day really, as if her older sister isn’t used to everyone fawning over her skills. While she manages to put up one hell of a front, one that has the rest of her family fooled, there’s a way Dana’s stomach tightens at the fact that for once, it was her sister being looked over, and not her. She can tell that she isn’t too happy about it by the way she pushes the peas more onto the plate rather than onto her fork. 

For once. For once, there’s something that her older sister can’t do, and it makes her heart thump in her chest. 

That had been her initial reasoning for hopping up one late evening, seeing them go through a basic combination instead of sitting and half- playing on her phone. The moves aren’t entirely too difficult, but the style is different, and even after everyone is gone, she finds herself having ‘one’ more go at it… which quickly turns into several. 

Now she sits in front of the camera, shaking her hands out in an attempt to maybe shake some of the nervousness she had felt. She had been practicing like crazy for the last week, and she’s not quite sure why. It wasn’t like anyone really knew she was auditioning anyway; her own little personal secret. That way, if she failed… it wouldn’t be like anything changed; she wouldn’t see her sister roll her eyes or hear her mother’s disappointed but not surprised sigh. Life would be just like it is now. 

It was likely they’d probably see a million different dancers, but she knew that would be without a doubt the best skill to showcase. She may not be the most powerful dancer out there, but she was fluid, with flexibility, and a love for rhythm that had been rediscovered in this need to prove herself. 

What’s the worst thing they can say? No? 

Yes. 

“Hi there, I’m Dana Kang, I’m currently 19 years old, and I’ll be turning 20 on the first of October. I’m from San Diego, California, but my family has recently relocated to Seoul, and I’m currently studying at Yonsei University, where I’m studying engineering.” Dana takes a deep breath, putting on a soft smile. “As a trainee of Lime Entertainment, I think I could bring a few things to the industry, but I definitely think one of things would be… freshness. I’ve been told my dance style is rather unique, and a nearly blank slate, I think I’m extremely adaptable. I’ve done a little bit of everything, from sports to choir and cheer, and I’ve always been a hard-worker. I would love to see what freshness and brightness I can bring to your company. I’ll be dancing to an original piece now, and thank you so much for watching.” 

There’s a hair flip, then, backing up several steps before she’s at the stereo, and pressing play. Instantly, there’s a game face on. The song is fun, not too serious, and while she knows there’s not a million acrobatics or turns to play here– she’s hoping that it was a good showcase of not only where she was starting, but all the possibilities. She’s got long limbs, flexibility, and she’s hoping for at least decent stage presence on her side. She only goes twice, making sure not to look tired at the end, and finishing off with a ninety degree bow before the camera shuts off.

the day we've been waiting for.

[good-beanswrites]

Hello! So like I've been having that Lights, Camera, Sing Your Sins AU rent free in my head for a while, and thought this up.

Since the prisoners weren't allowed to meet at first, they could hear the others practicing their singing nearby/next door. Some are awed by how passionate they put into their songs (eg: Haruka & Shidou), how into it (eg: Fuuta & Kotoko), how emotional (eg: Kazui), etc. This allowed the prisoners to imagine what the others are like.

...Then there's Mikoto with Red going all out with their MeMe song and it stunned everyone into silent fear until the prisoners meet him and go "YOU SANG THAT!?!"

I've been going so so crazy over this omg!!

No matter how big the facilities are, I'd imagine it would be difficult to keep ten people undergoing a full filming process completely separate from each other. Though they don't actually see each other, they overhear recording booth sessions while while walking down the hall. They spot unique outfits and props in the costume closet. They hear crew members giving Jackalope weird updates ("sir, where do you want the massive tarot cards when they're finished?" "the order of thousands of fake flowers has arrived" "we ran out of medieval outfits" etc.) They see teams lugging around massive set pieces from one stage to another. They hear a few hushed rehearsals from behind dressing room doors.

Mahiru totally tears up listening to Kazui. Meanwhile Kazui is blown away by Mahiru's enthusiasm and speed. Yuno thinks After Pain sounds really fun. Amane is awed at the other songs, (she's never even heard rock music before). Kotoko finds herself singing bits of Weakness. Muu is moved by Shidou. Fuuta is torn between being jealous of Mikoto's song and excited there's someone else with some yelling.

And so of course, the prisoners go crazy trying to piece together predictions about their upcoming cellmates. One the experiment begins, they subconsciously start matching up the voices they remembered hearing with their expectations. I think Shidou, Amane, and Kotoko would surprise people the most -- it seems hard hard to get a day-to-day read on them from their songs alone. Fuuta is simultaneously exactly what people were expecting and nothing like what they thought. Everyone's ideas of Mahiru were spot on. Haruka sang so confidently that the group is surprised to hear him stutter so often. Anyone who heard a bit of Meme is shocked when they meet Mikoto and make the connection. When asked about it, he just shrugs and laughs innocently, which only makes it harder to believe. Fuuta, excited to find someone else who did a rock song, is sorely disappointed at first.

[toytulini]

terfs go climb into a hole and start rotting. animals cannot inherently tell your "biological sex" you are all so fucking stupid. All this post is saying is that animals are not infallible judges of character and some of them make really stupid vibe checks and that people should try not to take it personally. Unless youre a terf in which case they know and they hate you and you should take it personally

re that one post tbh i do want to stress i dont think animals are like magically psychic at knowing your True Gender tbh i think ppl definitely get way too weird about Animal's judgement of ppl.

Sometimes a dog will vibe check a man and the dog will be right and you should listen. but sometimes the dog will vibe check someone for no good reason. sometimes dogs have wack judgement. sometimes dogs have biases influenced by their owners or previous owners. like. there are Racist Dogs. its not the dogs fault, but that doesnt make the bias theyve developed less real, or less potentially hurtful. i dont think we need to like, Cancel Dogs Bc Sometimes Ppl Can Train Them To Be Racist, but we do need to stop perpetuating the idea that a dog's judgement of someone is infallible. theyre not responsible for it and its not their fault its developed, theyre just dogs, they didnt choose it, but that doesnt mean theyre RIGHT lmao. i think its important to stress this for many reasons but in regard to that last post specifically, if youve ever been vibe checked as a gender you arent by a judgy dog its literally not your fault. might not even be the owners fault. not the dogs fault cos like. its a fucking dog. you do kinda have to be the bigger person in that scenario cos the other person is. A Dog.

Hey, I got a very shy Sinistea (she's new to the team) even with me, do you have tips to accomodate her to me and the other pokemons ?

- @lotus-and-pkmn

Good evening, Lotus!

Ghost Pokemon can be very fickle creatures. Many ghost types live their life in the face of ridicule from uneducated people (sometimes Pokemon, as well). While it is normal for some Pokemon to have a shy nature, it is possible that your Sinistea's shyness is a step up from that because she is not used to being herself. Even wild Pokemon can hear what folks say about them.

Keep that in mind as you continue to interact with her. Give her some vintage teacups to play around in, and let her know it's ok if she gets a little energy out and takes a little energy in. Be sure to research your specific ghost type and their energy needs. An ignorant ghost trainer is a sick ghost trainer!
