making this post as a reference for dances/gestures/performances/[...] i find relate to Herb Brides' dances In My Mind, as i do not think the soft swaying they do in canon really warrants clothes torn from their chests (but i also know how hard animating characters is, period, so i won't comment on that further.) takes this more as a long Herb Brides Dances Headcanon post (and also as a collection of poses reference...)

Pina Bausch's works, especially her choreography for Rites of Spring (done on a stage covered in dirt).

the dancers have very loose light clothing, so mind the toplessness.

🌾

Damien Jalet's works, especially his works for Les Médusés performance in the Louvre, particularly his "L'Évocation" and "Les Médusées" pieces.

L'Évocation:

it picks up from 2:20 and stays consistently powerful and strong until the end. this is the performance that's the most Herb Brides to me. everything, from the frantic dancing, throwing self on the ground multiple times, the slapping of the chest, the throwing of the hair, the heavy breathing, fits them so, so well to me. this is what i think they do.

Les Médusées (nonsexual nudity in images and video from the costumes):

you might have noticed from the similarities with above, Damien Jalet was the one who choreographied the dances of Suspiria (2018). These dances also fit into the Herb Brides dances of my mind (but since it's a horror movie, I won't put videos as most of them contain spoilers).

last thing from Jalet (for now): his choreography Yama (1:20 and onward)

🌾

Ryan Heffington's choreographic work for the background dancers in Florence + The Machine's "King"

and "Heaven is Here"

🌾

Akram Khan's choreographic work for the background dancers in Florence + The Machine's "Big God"

and for "Giselle" (0:48 and onward)

🌾

Isidora Duncan's body of work and legacy, both as formal inspiration for the dance itself and for the beliefs she put into her art (spirituality, freedom of the body and of movement, sublimation or the body and its holiness through dance)

in that order: Isidora Duncan, Isidora Duncan draw by José Clara, one of her student's Maria-Theresa Duncan, and one of her students' student Madeleine Lytton.

i'm particularly inspired by this video for a "softer" more subdued dance for them, even if the Herb Bride Dance of My Mind is not obviously not this structured and not this consistent/followed across brides, but i find it a good demonstration of the footwork & armswork within a fuller, longer choreography. i also adore this video because you get to see dancers of varied body types and ages

🌾

more to add as i discover new things, new performances and choreographers :3

Misc. photos from the past year or so ~

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. napping bapy boye sneeping on his own foot as if it were a pillow #2. The little primrose that I have seems to bloom sporadically all year around as long as I bring it inside and don't let it freeze #in the winter. This was a flower that came up randomly like mid november lol #3. Rainbow where you can see a little bit of a second rainbow near the bottom of it :0 #4. CHILDREN.... love to see them..... #5. Halloween Candy ranking tierlist. not important enough to post on it's own. so throwing it in with one of these I guess lol #I am also not really a candy person at all and prefer bready stuff like cakes rather than chocolate bars (if I even have to have sweets #at ALL which usually I prefer savory food). I suspect the apple is controversial but.. I do love apples .... huzzah #actually am having applle and peanut butter snack right now as I'm writing this lol #6. Various bowls/cups/etc. that I got from a store at COMPLETELY different times like.. years apart from each other #yet at some point realized that they all mostly match in paint color and seem to be part of the same pattern #But I totally didnt make that connection until a few years ago when I was putting up dishes. I just bought them all invidually because it's #like 'oh cool! a cat' *1 year later* 'oh cool! a cat!' etc. lol.. I guess it must be a popular design if it's been around being sold that #long. #7. carne asada burrito and matcha bubble tea... oughhgh.... again one of my very rare meals where I actually go and get something.. #probably my favorite meal currently. Something about the Chronic Anemia makes me crave beef burritos madly despite only having one #maybe twice a year or so ghjbhj.. plus the beans.... onions.... many of my Diet Forbidden foods... Also of course the little aishas #are there.... somehow they shall split the meal together even though it's like 10x bigger than their bodies.. they are also hungry #and vastly anemic... huzzah to them... #8. I've had this shirt for a long time but it fits very weird so I can never find a way to use it in outfits?? But I recently had #an appointment where a doctor needed to be able to look at my back and it's one of the only actual Shirts that I have (mostly i just own #long robes or tunics or jumper dress type of things that would be hard to lift up or etc. like... I dont even own a single normal 't-shirt' #or anyting aside from one giant tshirt that I sleep in in the summer lol.) So I wore this there.. I forget how much I love the pictures on #it.. how pleasant... little hummingbird... AND I think one of the flowers is supposed to be columbine ... ! #photo diary

Ok so.

Steve likes insects.

He knows loads about them, he can ramble on about them for hours on end.

He also likes collecting things to do with insects.

Badges, pins to do with insects.

Long-dead insects encased in resin.

Books.

Hell, even tote bags with insects on.

Point is, he loved insects.

His parents however.. not so much.

When Steve was 10, Tommy H gave him an ant farm, and Steve was immediately in love (with the ants of course).

However, the next morning, when he woke up, he found the farm to be missing; when he went outside he noticed his ant farm carrying case dumped in the trash outside.

When he was 14, a ladybird visited. Many had done so before, but this ladybird stuck around. It visited time after time, so much that Steve felt the need to name it.

But one day, the ladybird didnt visit. Instead, when he went downstairs for dinner that evening, he saw a suspicious, squashed mark on the table.

When he was 16, his parents started going away on trips more. They used to go quite a bit, but now it was to the point where hed get to see them maybe twice every 6 months, if he was lucky.

But this gave him a chance.

This was when he started collecting all things to do with insects.

By the time his parents came back again, he'd got quite the collection.

He managed to hide all of it though, he knew the second his parents saw his collection, it would all be gone.

This all worked for some time, meanwhile, Steve grew to 18.

That was when he met Eddie Munson.

Well, "met" is a strong word.. He rather watched Eddie go to the Music Store at Starcourt while Robin reluctantly covered for him at Scoops Ahoy.

He really met Eddie a year later, when he was 19.

And that same year, his parents found his collection.

They were absolutely apalled. They yelled at him for hours. How dare he spoil the stock-photo-esque room that theyd made pristine for him. Steve couldn't help but laugh to himself that this is the most attention they'd given him in over a decade.

However, they decided to give him a chance, an ultimatem; get rid of his collection himself by the next time they come back, or they'll do it for him.

This sent Steve into a panic.

But, he did as he did with all his emotions; bottle it up.

Eddie had grown to quite like Steve. He'd noticed The King of Hawkins High go from an egotistical asshole to an affectionate idiot. And even before they actually met, Eddie always felt butterflies whenever he noticed Steve looking at him while he was in the Music Store.

He'd practically studied the man over the years. Noticed the mannerisms, the flinches at anything sudden. How often Steve would hold his head in pain. He always knew something else was going on with Steve Harrington.

So when he noticed Steve withdrawing from the group, acting colder, he knew something was up, and one Thursday evening when they were hanging out, about to watch a movie, he finally popped the question.

"Are you okay?"

Within seconds, the former King of Highschool, Steve Harrington, was sobbing in his arms uncontrollably.

He was slightly taken aback, but pulled this broken soul closer and comforted him until he was calm enough to speak.

Steve explained all about his love of insects, how his parents were going to take all his stuff away, how much he wished he had a way out of this horrible situation.

Then, Eddie chimed in with an idea.

"Just keep the stuff at mine."

"What?-"

"I'll make some space ontop of my dresser and you could keep all your bug stuff at my place."

Steve's eyes practically lit up, and Eddie couldn't help but smile.

So, that's how the top of Eddie's dresser became the most organised, prettiest looking place in Eddie's room.

You know, the world is in a treacherous state right now, and humanity looks a bit ugly. There is nothing good to celebrate. It is New Year. I don't think I like the way I'm shaping my thoughts lately, but I try to keep a positive outlook on things. I'm trying to make peace with fate. I don't want anything from the past back into my palms, I would not cradle them so well. I would die, I think. You see, I believe in heaven and hell, and also reincarnation. I'm not sure how purgatory works, so I can't say much about that. But otherwise. I do think life if worth living a moment longer everyday because you're here. I do think humanity is astoundingly beautiful at times because you're part of it. I think this generation have lost a sense of love that feels genuine, therefore I won't deprave myself of honesty and vulnerability.

If I get into heaven I'd pull you in with me and you'll be my neighbour.

#i appreciate you. and all your vulnerability that you showed me this year. and all your time spent putting up with me. #labyu #labyu a lot #i want to know you for a long #long. #long #longgggggg #time. #yanikuma

here's to languishing 🥂

i feel like i need to take this invitation to add commentary to my post that i was thinking as i typed it and wanted to clarify then but held myself back because i've been working on not compulsively vomiting my thought processes to everyone out of the hypervigilant response born of being misunderstood my whole life.

but you opened the floor. so! i typed languishing because it's the word that came to me first, but then i recalled all those pandemic mental health articles that framed 'languishing' as some type of pathological and definitive term next to clinical depression – some kind of specific state of unnerving stasis of self. and i thought to myself, well, that's not what I'm doing currently, so should i be describing my current action as 'languishing'? is that what I want the reader to associate and conjure in their mind?

but then i remembered i'd opened with the word languid, an obvious relation, though 'languid' manages to carry with it instead a sense of purposeful insolence; a disinclination, a near-luxuriating in laziness in contrast to languishing's connotations of discordia of the mind and body. so i left it as languishing, knowing at least that i meant it far more as an extension of my initial and intentional languor and not a indictment of myself.

now, however, i'm more curious. two lead questions: are those connotations i have actually common for others? and if so, how do two forms of essentially the same word hold such differing connotations? how separate are their etymological roots, really?

the oxford english dictionary (quite useful for tracking changes in meaning over time) marks the earliest records of 'languish' as a verb c1325 as our understanding of weakness or feebleness, but quite close c1380 it lists a "now-archaic" use to describe a "droop in spirits; to pine or brood, esp. with love or grief", and, by 1567 (also now-archaic) "to waste away with longing for; to yearn (to do something)". now that's what I'm talking about! (the oed also notes some usages as "chiefly poetic;" which i would like to specifically shout out.)

all of that—for languishing— seems to fit moreso for my usage of languid than the descriptions listed for languid itself: first recorded in 1595 (as 'weakness', again, though the note of 'listless' strikes true for my use) though by 1727 there is an association to 'leisurely; unhurried' and 1723, of peacefulness.

so what have i learnt here. I suppose that i had somehow completely conjured the periphery of my understanding of the word 'languid' out of thin air for myself, but/and some of the connotations i insist on are at least part of the archaic understanding of the older 'languish' regardless. 

and as for my specific commentary notes, i'd clarify i meant both terms exclusively in archaic sense; the most resonant wording of such being the oxford languages': to assume a sentimentally tender or melancholy expression or tone; to pine with love or grief.

#asks #long. #long post #. #I ALSO NEED YOU TO KNOW I TYPED THIS ALL UP 8 MINUTES AGO THEN #SORRY NO. 22. 22 minutes corresponding with someone re what exactly 'a' means for a year record. Who didnt know then we had to work it out. #But now i've learnt something new!

You ever sit there like. Craving a very specific dynamic but you can’t go to your usual set of characters for it bc it’s slightly to the left

#should I make a pair of guys who’s fates are hopelessly tangled together and they’re desperately trying to escape that but they fall back #into each other’s arms constantly because despite the loathing there’s a comfort in the familiar and someone who was your reprieve for so #long. #……I think I’m maybe gonna be making a new pair of guys #unless someone wants to help? eyes emoji

there's a cherry blossom tree in DC that keeps blooming every year even though it shouldn't and the park service keeps thinking it's dead and then it keeps blooming! well they're removing a lot of trees to rehabilitate the area and they've said it's finally time for stumpy to go and they're going to mulch it and use the mulch to enrich all the other trees so it can help everything else keep going. and they're also going to plant spliced little pieces of it all over so that stumpy can live forever and this is genuinely sending me into a spiral

#someone brought it flowers today........... #this half dead little tree that nobody thought would survive this long means everything to me

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

⚔️ If you want to read some queer retelling of arturian legends have a look at my webtoon

#greek mythology #ares #athena #greek gods #dont get me wrong it aint athena slander but it sure is ares praise #on some level at least #man justly accused of bad things deserves some mid praise more at 11 #thank you romi for helping me with words though i duly noted you insisted on ares not being cautious rather than him not being careful #romi be like “i want him to care” and honestly good you should say it #also EPIC led to this and i just..... i want to draw some animatics man i just need infinite time now #my long lost love for greek myths just will never stop coming and they dont stop coming and they dont stop coming #i want some vulture design in here for ares but not sure about this one #kochei doodles
