Tinikling is a type of Filipino traditional dance that imitates the movement of the tikling bird as it walks over grass stems and dodges bamboo traps set by farmers! Tumblr completely crushes the quality, so I’ll link to my DA post for a better image!

Tinikling 🎍A Filipino folk dance where one dances and dodges between clapping bamboo poles. [ oc ]

It originated from the island of Leyte, inspired by the "tikling" (rail birds in English). Tinikling literally means to act like the tikling. The birds are known to have a graceful gait while dodging bamboo traps in the rice field, and so the locals imitated their movement!

The dance gets progressively faster and faster, so dancers have to be skillful enough not to get their ankles trapped between the heavy bamboo poles!

An Anecdote in Which I Barely Escape a Tarring and Feathering, Then an Exile

I once told the mayor that an apple a day keeps the players away. He didn't take too kindly to my unsolicited advice. He ordered me tarred and feathered, then banished from the city, unless I complete a task of utmost urgency for him.

He told me to walk five miles west of the city, 35 feet north, two and half feet east, then 2.75689 inches North. Once I arrived at my destination, I was tasked with the job of digging up a long-lost lucky chicken bone he had buried when he was 22 summers old. Buried with the bone would be a picture of the greatest unrequited love of his life: Bea Arthur.

In an attempt to win her love, he slew 47 pirate-ninjas hailing from the smallest island in the Philippines. After completing that quest, he performed the Dance of Joyous Tinikling. Unfortunately, he missed a step, and this displeased the love he would never have. With a wave of her hand, Bea Arthur magically summoned her favorite Claymore and chopped off one of his pinky toes. Then she banished him into mayoral servitude.

Once I procured the relic, I was to set it afire, then drop some acid and perform the dance that he failed. Every step had to be perfect, or I would be publicly flogged down the streets of our city by anthropomorphic chipmunks wielding giant celery sticks.

Thankfully, I danced perfectly. It also helped that I bribed the judges with a handful of kidney beans and fried rice

You know what, it's a fantasy world so *tosses gender expectations out the window*

Pretty sure someones done this already but Ballister probably picked up belly dancing at some point in secret.

He found thay it was good for building core strength and it was something he could easily do in his room with his crummy little radio while the other knights in training were out partying and what not

Ambrosius, and I imagine by this point they're already dating, walked in on Ballister once, immediately locked the door and asked "C...can I watch? You look really pretty..."

In return Ballister finds out that Ambrosius likes to do this fan dance when he has time alone ajd then it's Ballister's turn to look all starry eyes as Ambrosius moves around so fluidly and its sort of like his belly dancing but its not, the arm movements may have some similarity but the way Ambrosius *moves* is...hypnotic

And suddenly Ballister understands why Ambrosius loves watching him dance

my catholic school niigo au thoughts from two days ago ... aha. i like how i call it the catholic school au but the fact that they go to catholic school is only so relevant

not mentioned is mafuena's slow blossoming into a romantic relationship...and mizuki is like. Not in the picture in any of this but she gets her arc and her moments and of course she's part of their giant qpr i mean they all love each other. They all love each other...sob

i have SO MANY more thoughts esp on all of their relationships with religion and going to a catholic school in the first place...like kanade goes because she lives a suuuper close walking distance from school and it's good light exercise that she needs bc of her chronic illness (i'm basing her condition on a friend's + what's described in canon), mafuyu goes bc her mother is catholic and wants her to go to a good catholic school, ena goes bc it's erm. in a city big on entertainment in california. (am i doxxing myself by basing this school largely on my own? who knows. lol). and mizuki transferred from her old all-boys' school because she felt alienated there. Are you feeling me....

mafuena focused because I'm Me. mafuyu's arc pertaining to finding and doing what she loves...finding love...finding hope. ena's about emotional regulation (LOL) and etching out a future for herself—one with all the people she loves in it. kanade's about guiding mafuyu, about helping, but also letting herself be helped and taken care of. mizuki's about community and finding a sense of belonging and being true to herself...

i dreamt up a whole story about her junior ring ceremony and feeling like a true part of the community and having her loving seniors at her back... following her and the whole ring debacle. what name do you want engraved inside your ring? do you want me to call you minou when it's time for me to say your name? and all this toil and internal struggle about her place in the community, and herself as a person, all of it climaxes in her responding i'd like the name mizuki akiyama engraved in my ring, please. and you can call me mizuki, not minou. mi-zu-ki. thank you. augh. just. sisterhood and family and belonging. and, of course, having a pretty ring to show she's part of all that.

forgot 2 elaborate on my funny ass spidersona here like the one thats meant 2b Me not pelican. his Thing is literally gonna be kicking and stomping shit. thats his fighting style. he wears metal bakya and sounds like a horse when he walks. he won every game of luksong baka growing up and can do high speed tinikling. imagine getting kicked in the fucking face with This ⬇️

but made of metal with the strength of someone who does the Dont Break Your Ankles dance for fun you would Die. hes also got a separate kind of web that comes in like a weighted. Thing that gets kicked into place sipa/sepak takraw style and its more of a net than a web string

Colin and I hit up the Asian festival this morning. Basically a county fair with no livestock but better food, eh! Kinda overrun with sponsor tents for windows and insurance and shit.

Aside from the genuinely awesome Philippines info tent (where they were in full costume teaching people Tinikling dancing) our fave moment was the solar panel booth we walked past on our way out. This skinny Eminem-looking guy is in there alone, looking like a child at church with no iPad. He asks some dad walking by: “have you converted your house to solar yet?” The dad quickly says “yup” and keeps walking, but our guy doesn't even lean forward to squint out this venomous “nnnnno you haven’t”. Like he could see into his filthy grid-strapped soul.

After we got done laughing Colin said “what if he wasn’t even lying”, but I think I trust Solar Eminem to know his shit. Also in my experience, solar people will take any opportunity to talk to you about solar.

i wish i had an ear for music and composition because honestly? i think the concept of the tinikling melody being incorporated into a bullet hell battle theme would slap so hard.
