Tuesday's child is full of grace

 

Create: Produce something that focuses on movement. It could feature for example a dance, a fight (a duel, or perhaps the vast armies advancing across the plains, weather (the strike of lightning, the gentle roll of clouds), time (too fast, too slow). Perhaps the movement is organic or mechanical, aesthetic or utilitarian, sweeping or barely noticeable.

 

Squee: Tell us about a movement that takes your breath away, or even better, share a video of it. A dance performance, nature video, athletic feat... The kind of thing you never tire watching.

Squee about Matthew Bourne's New Adventures: Tuesday

I've posted two favourite movement videos right here.

I'm fulfilling today's prompt in a sliiightly weird way: a WIP meta post about writing (lightsaber) fencing. I document a Mastodon thread where I asked fencers on the fediverse what/how do they think when they fight, I'll add some "things learned" summary, and then I want to try using the info for some actual writing.

It's not what I expected to do for today, but you know what, I like it!

squee about the magic murder man

A post! About a fan-made video of an anime character (Kuroo Tetsurou from Haikyu!!) dancing to "Wiggle" by Jason Derulo and also a link to the choreography that inspired it. Probably doesn't exactly qualify as "breathtaking," but I have spent enough time mesmerized by it that it seemed worth sharing.

I've gone with Lord Byron and Marianne Faithful today.
