So for your fictional character 3 word response, I give you...

(I mean, was I ever going to ask about anyone else?)

I'd let her

Hey! I'm exhausted from medical school, and the holidays have been no break either. I hear the party scene is good in Hong Kong and I've never been - can you send me on a trip there?

Thanks for your booking with FWK Vacations! Get ready for a taste of the Hong Kong nightlife!

You wake up with your face pillowed in something that smells delicious, like musk and salt all in one. You lick your lips and taste fresh sweat. With a happy murmur, you start tongue-washing the big set of lightly furred balls you slept next to all day.

As tan, muscular men start to shift around you, you remember flashes of the wild party last night. A tongue tentatively licks over your ass and you arch your back, grinding your bubble butt back into the handsome face of the man who fell asleep rimming you.

“Fuck,” grunts a bearded guy in thickly accented Cantonese, “we need to be dancing in 20.”

You drop the balls you’ve been sucking from your mouth. “I really wanna cum!” you whine, and dive back in, hearing a horny moan from the hottie you’re servicing.

“Hold it until the big spenders tip you,” the head gogo boy barks, and tosses a mesh shirt at you.

20 minutes later, the club opens and the patrons start coming in. You’re dancing on a table, your erection perfectly obvious in your slutty tights. Maybe if you dance sexily enough, you’ll be the first gogo boy to get a tip big enough to get a private room. Fuck, you love partying all night, every night.

Enjoy your vacation!

Want to go on vacation? Drop me an ask!

I need you to know that when you said Will Graham was working as a stripper instead of the decades and decades of modern imagery around stripping I could only picture him as Rita Hayworth in the movie Gilda… sexily removing a single glove… Hannibal sobbing…

That’s honestly a much funnier image. He’s like, you let other people see your fingers? Whore *distant sobbing*

STOP IT!!!

Why is he so sensual and needy at the same time??

Does Glen like to dance?

man's over here having a crisis and you want him to DANCE...

[raininyourblackeyes]

What happened at world's??? I'm not up to date 😭

LMAOOO WHAT DIDN'T????

Ok brief summary of every disciplinne which will end up long so

MEN:

Boyang messed up so much in the SP he didn't even get to the free. To quote his coach Brian "I don't even know what that was." My boy obviously thinks that the men need to flop in every city starting with M... Milano 2018, Montreal 2024.... let's hope he keeps that mindset for worlds and olympics because they are also in Milano

Junhwan also flopped in the SP, but not as much thank skating gods! He did better in the fs but I really didn't get anything from his programs this season anyways so I wasn't as devastated as I would be let's say with any prev season's fuck up

Kao also flopped SP missing the combo because of the 4T attempt. Absolutely magnificent opening 4S, best of the SP event! He attacked some titans in the FS but got eaten immediately by 4Lo and 4S

Shoma finally listened to me telepathically and flopped the free

Jason was overscored as fuck, he should not have been above Deniss in any segment but he has the american money. However, he did serve.

Have to mention Nikolaj Memola having a very solid senior worlds debut!!!

Ilia uuuh got the world record in the FS, 227 something and now he's going viral and how I feel about it is 😐 The 4A was magnificent, and yeah yeah he can jump and yeah it's a Succession program but PLEASE WATCH SOMEONE WHO'S ACTUALLY DOING FIGURE SKATING! One can only wonder what's next? A quint? A quad-quad combo? Because he did everything else and I doubt he'll decide to get some skating skills

Donovan was absolutely stellar! And the audience loved him!

The epic highs (Romsky SP) and epic lows (Romsky FS) - as usual

Deniss went clean (if we don't count popping the opening quad in the FS) in both SP and FS. His SP is a religious experience, and he's skating to Hallelujah exactly how Leonard Cohen would have wanted. 100% worth watching (costume deduction for showing tits is soooo funny). He also did a mad thing and debuted a new free st worlds. I was sad to see Blues Deluxe go and very sceptic about Lion King, that's junior music to me but IT WAS STUNNING and I hope he keeps it for the next season so I can see it live in Zagreb

Yuma... GOD!!!!!! He is right now THE best skater we have in this disciplinne. Carolina Costner is doing wonders for his skating skills. And somehow this was meant to be a recovery season. Meanwhile he blew everyone else out of the water. Yuma is definitely worth getting into figure skating. Two stunning programs, some textbook jumps, mind-blowing performance ability and just lovely skating skills

Adam was probably the definition of men singles skating event. 19th in the sp, everyone despaired about him... because you know, there's no hope for Boyang but there is some for Adam? And boy was there hope!!! He goes clean in the FS, does a fucking banned backflip which I am not a fan of, probably thinking "fuck it I did an amazing program but from 19th I have no chance to medal anyways so I'll just do this instead" so he takes 2 deductions. And medals. Biggest jump placement wise in history of the sport. Sooo then fucking Benoit who is already delusional about his choreo skills goes and says how he wants to create choreo so revolutionary that could potentially get him banned. My dude, you should have been banned a long time ago for Kaori's I love being a woman free at least...

WOMEN:

Tbh they were in the middle of the night for me and since men singles is my fave disciplinne it's also the only one I'd stay awake for so... not much to say here. Sorry. But there wasn't any insane drama I think, the results did take me out in the SP, but it ended up pretty nice in the end

I did see Kaori and while her programs are far from my favourites this season I am 100% convinced that girl could sell me anything. The highlight of both her performances, apart from how insanely well she did to come back from 4th to win overall in the FS, was her reaction to a botched Lutz landing in the SP. Her SP is also dedicated to her niece and nephew and it's so soft. Also imagine in a few years a teacher asks kids to say a fun fact about themselves in the first class and this kid gets up and says uuuh my aunt won her 3rd consecutive world title with one of the programs being about me being born. THE FLEX!

I only got to see Hana's FS in real time and I have made an entire post about Shakuhachi so please go watch that if you haven't, it's a masterpiece. Koo Koo Fun is also a masterpiece in some other aspects! Also go watch that! I think she did an amazing job for a kid at her first worlds in her first senior season.

Mone WHAT A COME BACK IN THE FREE!!! Which rip... I like her SP more, but definitely also chek out the Sendai baby Mone if you haven't

I've seen Amber's FS, the only clean 3A of the evening. I really hope she can one day pull off a completely clean free one day

Young had an epic performance in the SP, that StSq is just cheff's kiss. I didn't catch her FS but uhhh I also don't really want to hurt myself so I won't even try to look for it

Chaeyeon sadly has a Benoit abomination for her FS, her SP is also by Benoit but she sells it so well. I say this about her FS because quite frankly it's the FS that got her the medal.

PAIRS:

Deanna and Maxime. That's it that's what you need to know about pairs. She is a superstar, they did an Interview With the Vampire free with stunning costumes. Their SP was a firecracker! Deanna is the oldest woman ever to win the gold in figure skating, and she should be THE inspiration to all little girls trying out the sport thinking that it's just a few years of fame. You can be 40 and winning gold in your home city!

Riku and Ryuichi did so well considering they are coming back from an injury and they brought back Woman (2020-21 and 2021-22 FS). Silver was very much very well deserved

I think the only other team I remember leaving an insane impression on me were Hocke/Kunkel in the SP, absolutely fucking robbed.

Pairs was overall the best disciplinne and you should watch it, I didn't have time to see any free skates except for SD/D and M/K so that's about what I can say about the event

ICE DANCE:

Head in hands, this used to be a disciplinne where you go to therapy (skating skills) after the horrors (jump fests)

Chock/Bates won which is a fucking joke because the only thing they have going for them is the fact that Madison is hot and that can be a distraction once or twice, but not at every fucking competition and not at worlds. When will they retire?

Piper and Paul were stunning, their programs are always either a hit or a miss no inbetween and this season they are a HIT! Especially the Wuthering Heights FD you should see it! They won the free, but Skate Canada forgot to homecook in the RD so they got silver overall

Charlene and Marco have the campiest RD this season but it works!!! The only superheros I am willing to watch on my screen, marvel wishes it's characters had what these two do. Their FD is also really nice. LOVED Barb's interview where she said Madison and Evan are slow af lol, but rip she was so confident about G/F placing above G/P and then bam bronze

LALA THE TRUE WORLD CHAMPIONS! Absolutely stunning and fun RD to Thriller with Zachary actually being the main character. It's also my mom's favourite ice dance program of the season overall! And then you have a complete change of emotion and tone in their Roses FD which is just soft and elegant and she is literally dressed in flower petals. They showed so much variety and growth this season. It's a program made to be adored, and their skating offers so much quality. RD is passionate and mindblowing, FD is enchanting seamless. If ice dance was a real sport they would be the world champions!

Christina Carreira and Anthony Ponomarenko in strong contention for my fave RD this season. I am probably a bit biased becasue it's Stevie Nicks. They had an amazing glo up this season imo. Their FD offers a lot of intense character projections: obsession, possessiveness. Choreo is intricate, it's a very tasteful program. Someone on here said we should have more programs about murder after their performance and I couldn't agree more. ALSO Scott and Madison in the K&C!!!!!!

You can barely guess that Lim/Quan are a first season senior couple. They managed to make me watch Let's Go Crazy without sighing about how much I miss Yuzuru. Insanely hot in that program. Their Umbrellas are also in my top 3 free dances this season. Amazing performances at their first senior worlds

Ok I'm only gonna mention absolute delight and theatrics that Pirihara bring on the ice. Such a unique Chicago presentation! I can't wait to see what they plan to do next season.

[eternally--mortal]

I learned recently that when a kid starts dancing (ballet, etc.) at a young age their bone structure grows to reflect that they’re a dancer. So I’ve been wondering about Speedsters in the DC universe and whether time dilation affects bone structure when they run and whether their bone structure is different than everyone else’s because of just how much time they spend running.

I’m also very curious how it interacts with their healing factor and whether it can be undone or shifted based on what they’re doing at a high speed. Like, for instance, if YJ wanted Impulse to go undercover as a dancer, could he practice and train enough over a short period of time at super speed to make his bone structure seem as if he’s been dancing for years? And then could his bone structure go back to his version of normal afterwards if he stopped dancing and just went back to running? How does dancing as a kid affect how people run if it changes how their leg and foot bones grow? At what age does the growth change stop and would that even matter for a speedster given the healing factor? Does a speedster’s body have a sort of pre-set optimal version of the bone structure? Since age probably doesn’t matter then Wally and Barry could probably do the exact same thing, but how long would it take for them to replicate that kind of bone development? I don’t know the science behind any of this or how it would work, but I am very curious.

Well, seeing as I cannot perceive the unperceivable... as attractive as that title is. Tell me about Ravenglass (even if I have to read more than 3 chapters of Broken Bird yet.)

I'll give you a booby prize: you're already aware of the Unperceivable One, the Hellspawn, er, spawned it. The whump one? Yeah that. That's what that is.

Ravenglass is still in the I'm Thinking About It™ stage. I don't really have a plot for it, just a vibe, which essentially boils down to Ariel throwing herself into work to cope with grief and trauma. It doesn't work very well. Interally I like to refer to this as Ariel's Villain Era.

Unfortunately, I don't have much to share except bits and pieces of Ariel attempting to meld into the role of Warden-Commander, and how her vassals/constituents might perceive her.

A recent thought that I had was an official portrait of her commissioned to be hung in Vigil's Keep, the base of Warden operations in Amaranthine, and the seat of her rule (though she'd never call it such, as she's not there to rule anyone).

What biases would the painter have? Which side of her would they paint? Would they paint the "good" side of her face, or the side with a scar and docked ear? If they paint this side, would they make her look more human to be more palatable?

Another thought I had regarding the painting was having her painted as the tarot card Death. Oooo symbolism.

Some other tidbits I have:

She cuts off most of her hair and keeps it this way until reuniting with Leliana (so about 10-11 years)

There's a sidequest in the Awakening expansion (which this fic would be based around) where a Grey Warden's dying wish is to give his wife his wedding ring. You do this for him, and discover the wife has been having an affair with the "military wife" justification. I don't know where to go with this but I feel like this would fuck Ariel up a little.

Someone is very likely to meet the business end of Ariel's sword for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time

90% sure she's gonna have a breakdown somewhere

TLDR, Ariel has a Very Bad Time.

[fredwkong]

Very hot. I kinda wanna see how he'd be if he chose the Senegalese flag tho

Amazing conclusion to the 1000 cards story! I would love to see what would happen if Eric had picked the Senegalese card though...

The morning after he picks the Senegalese card, Eric swears he’s getting darker-skinned by the minute. Every time he glances in the mirror, he looks darker, hunkier, more vascular. He’s turning into an absolute beast.

Out at the club on Sunday night with Blair, Eric loses himself in the groove within minutes. He’s bumping and shaking like the music is in his blood. Something about EDM just lets loose sparks in his brain. He grinds so hard against Blair that the little guy almost falls over, but Eric just picks him up and puts him on his broad shoulder.

After his session with Aaron the next day, Eric has a sudden brainwave. “Bro, come stretch with me,” he says. On the mobility mats, he finds himself suddenly dropping into an easy split, bending forward over his front leg to really feel the stretch in his bulky brown hamstring.

Aaron watches in amazement. “I didn’t even know guys your size could bend like that,” he says.

“Dancing,” Eric replies, switching to the opposite leg. “I spend all my time dancing back home.” As he says it, he thinks: Where is home again?

He checks his phone later, and finds tons of pictures of his dark-skinned, curly-haired body riding boats with a dozen uncannily similar looking men and women. Of course, it’s from the last family reunion in Dakar! A griot family like his keeps close ties to each other, no matter how far apart they live. Eric jumps in the family whatsapp and sends an emoji in response to his auntie’s latest culinary photoshoot.

By midweek, Eric notices that his voice has dropped again. He’s speaking slower, his accent smooth and musical. Blair shivers when Eric rumbles in his ear.

“I can feel your voice right through your chest,” he says, lying back on top of Eric. He’s a comfortable weight, like a dumbbell between Eric’s pecs.

Eric laughs deep in his throat, just to feel Blair shudder with pleasure again.

Life’s not perfect. School’s pretty hard as an economics major, especially as the first in his family to come to the States for college. Eric has no idea how he’s going to explain to his family that he’s dating not one non-Wolof boy, but two different non-Wolof boys. But that’s not his problem right now. All Eric has to worry about right now is going dancing, dicking his boys down, and getting ready for football practice to start up again in a couple of weeks.

He doesn't even think about the cards again until months later.

[essektheylyss]

nothing better than finding the perfect song for a character, nothing worse than that character being NOWHERE NEAR your current wip priority list

[fizzigigsimmer]

also ballet steve wearing headbands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like joe keery has done so in the past so we have all the visual evidence that we need!! it's a must!!

Seriously. The Steve vibes give me such inspiration. My notepad is filling up with little moments and scenes. I found a dancer who I think fits Billy well, if he'd been training from a young age, and I've been going through his performances. Nerd rant alert, but it's so fascinating to me the differences in movement alone. Like Celestin (my Billy inspo) is denser, with more muscle mass but that seems to afford him more power and finese in his movement. Every move is just so sharp and clear, even someone like me can see the technique in it. And the way this man can just hurl himself around, bending and spinning like a top is insane. He's also an adult with years on Parker (Steve inspo) but it still rings true for his old teen competition videos. Parker, on the other hand is more fluid, his turns are more floaty and the doesn't seem to strain as much for the height on his jumps. Lol I just need to figure out how to translate my observations and the dances I'm imagining into technical terms.

[the-matron-of-ravens]

I just gotta make peace with the fact that I see the relationship between FCG and Dancer VERY differently than the majority of the CR fandom.

But ho boy every time I see a post about how FCG is abusive and Dancer is standing up for herself I just die a little inside
