Why no I’m not here to encourage a ballet au… why do you ask???
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hippo you absolute menace, why do I put up with you?? Having said that...
When Buck walks into the rehearsal room for the New York City Ballet for the first time, he can’t quite believe he’s made it.
Here he is, standing among some of the best dancers North America has to offer, and they’re treating him like an equal, rather than the usual upturned noses or judgemental looks ballet dancers have often perfected. A group of women stand by the barre, doing some warm-up stretches before rehearsal starts, and at the other end of the mirror stands two of the most beautiful men Buck has ever seen.
They’re fairly evenly matched in height and size, both lean and strong, their muscles not huge like some of the bodybuilders Buck is used to seeing at the gym, but sculpted, with rippling muscles that convey a subtle power, used for performing complicated lifts but looking effortless and graceful as they do so.
The shorter of the two looks up as he enters the room, and Buck’s mouth goes dry as a pair of warm, brown eyes, like two pools of molten chocolate, meet his. This man is gorgeous. His hair is silky and brown, with a few strands that flop carelessly into his face, and he’s got a light shadow of stubble over his jaw. He’s wearing a tight, black tank top that clings to his body like a second skin and shows every ounce of muscle in his arms. There’s a small, circular tattoo, with what looks like some loopy writing on his forearm, almost mirroring the delicate lines on Buck’s own.
Buck is still drinking in the first man when he leans forward and whispers something in the second man’s ear, and he turns around too.
Holy fuck. Does the New York City Ballet hire on looks first and dancing skills second?
This man is taller, probably by a good few inches, and while the first man is soft and gentle looking, this man is sharper, more defined, and radiating raw power in the way his muscles flex beneath his white tank. He’s a little curlier than the other man, with icy blue eyes that pierce into Buck’s own. He smiles at Buck, his nose crinkling in a way that’s nothing short of adorable, and beckons Buck over.
Buck allows his legs to carry himself towards the two men, his brain not coming online enough to even rehearse his opening line, before he’s standing in front of them.
“Uh, hi,” he says eloquently, his mouth feeling drier than the Sahara. “I’m Evan Buckley, new principal. But – uh – everyone calls me Buck,”
“Hey Evan,” Blue Eyes says at the same time Brown Eyes says “Nice to meet you, Buck.”
“I’m Eddie Diaz,” Brown Eyes says, holding his hand out for Buck to shake. “Playing the Nutcracker.”
Buck tries not to make it super obvious how star-struck he is right now. “H-hey Eddie, nice to meet you,” he replies, taking the man’s hand. It’s warm and Eddie squeezes Buck’s hand lightly as he shakes it, his long fingers pressing against Buck’s knuckles.
“Tommy Kinard,” says Blue Eyes, extending his own hand when Eddie releases his. “Rat King.”
Buck can’t entirely believe that here he is, on his first day as a Principal Dancer for the New York City Ballet, and he’s meeting the two male leads. He might need to pinch himself, if it weren’t for the fact that Tommy’s squeezing his hand a little harder than necessary, the slight pain enough to convince Buck that yes, this is really happening.
“You’re new here, aren’t you? Which part have you got?” Eddie asks kindly, leaning against the barre. His arm crosses over with Tommy’s making it look like their arms are almost linked. The way they’re standing, and the familiarity Buck could see in their expressions earlier, he can’t help but wonder if they’re in a relationship. Or good friends, at the very least.
He licks his lips before talking and wills himself not to sound like a total dork.
“I’m playing Cavalier,” he said threading his fingers together as he stands in a bastardisation of 4th position that his old tutor always used to yell at him for. “First time as a lead.”
Tommy smiles softly, his eyes raking over Buck’s body as though sizing him up.
“It’s not so scary once you get to know everyone,” he reassures Buck, placing a hand just above Buck’s elbow.
“Yeah,” Eddie adds, flashing a dazzling grin in Buck’s direction that have his joints turning a little gelatinous. “We’ll show you the ropes.”
Now sit there and think about what you've done

I had meant to send you some of my pluffies collection ages ago and I just finally got some of them home and washed them! However, this friend has not left my side. Bubbles is a Tubby the Hippo who has done been THROUGH it, was briefly lost for a few years (during which a second hippo was purchased), miraculously reappeared, and still goes everywhere with me.
He is now perfectly floppy and his eyes bug a little. To be loved is to be changed, and all that.

Precious little baby, I see nothing but love when I look at those big buggin eyes. Sweet and demure.
What happened to the dupe of bubbles? I hope they’re friends 👉🏻👈🏻

answering that last ask has me missing Yellow Baby and Hippo…
I know they are in my closet somewhere… but it’s a huge mess.
Yellow Baby is in such bad shape, I don’t think I could even pick him up without him ripping in half (serious)
I think Hippo is in much better shape, but I’m not sure.
I kind of want to hug Hippo again.
Yellow Baby too, but I don’t want to destroy him even more.

Sometimes I wonder if I remind him of his mom and much as he reminds me of my dad.

In a perfect world I would be much larger, superhumanly strong and completely invulnerable. This would allow me to live my dream of playing with very dangerous animals on my own terms.

I was sitting down in a chair in a relatively large office. I was supposed to meet with someone and talk. But I couldn’t really force myself to speak when there was a hippopotamus with a purple bow tie and black top hat sitting across from me.
