#ballet dancers who dance en pointe represent the furthest possible push of human limits in my mind

[thetriggeredhappy]

thinking about how metal ballet is. hello this is our art form we are very pretty and very dexterous here, look at us spin. this is because we have done this from a young enough age that it melted our bones a little and permanently stunted our growth in certain ways. our entire bodies have been adapted to be extremely brittle and we require double the caloric intake of the average person, and our body acts as though we’re constantly in a state of near-death. body fat no longer functions correctly for us and if we get even one broken bone or torn muscle we may never be able to dance in a performance for the rest of our lives. pretty sparkly clothes :)

#shut up me #i could not give less of a fuck about any sports because that’s some pussy shit #hold up 150 pounds of weight on one big toe while spinning while looking pretty why don’t you #same with figure skating honestly #ballet dancers who dance en pointe represent the furthest possible push of human limits in my mind #i’m not joking about warped bones by the way look it up it’s fucked up
