"This party needs some dance music!" Someone starts to play Trepak.

Victor: . . .well, I'm certainly not going to try to dance to it, but I'd be fascinated to see if anyone here can manage the dance that goes with it! Especially any of the crouched kicking. . .

#~M: I want some questions! now! (ask)#~M: grin without a cat (anon)#~V: Cuddlepile #~T: Girls Love Girls And Boys #party trepak #~C: Victor Van Dort #(('trepak' being a form of Ukrainian folk dancing #you know the kind with the squat kicks?#that but faster #you can actually see a bit of it in The Nutcracker apparently #it's pretty cool stuff #lots of high spins and kicks and suchlike))#~M: with this hand I will lift your queue

Chapter 1: Miniature Overture (The Nutcracker, presented by the Emon Ballet Company)

This au started on my tumblr so if you’re looking for more information on the goings on before or after this fic, you can find all of it there!

Here is a brief synopsis of the AU and what has happened so far:

All of VM are part of the Emon Ballet Company.

Keyleth grew up around ballet, her mother was a prima ballerina before her death. Keyleth never really found her place, always being an outcast in the company until she moved to Emon. She is a soloist with the EBC.

Vex and Vax were put into ballet by their father, hoping that it would straighten them out. That didn’t work, but both of the twins found that they fell in love with it and continued their studies after they left Syldor. Vex is a principal and Vax is a soloist.

Grog works on the sets and hauls the ropes backstage, he’s not a very good dancer but he loves being around his friends and watching them dance.

Pike is a physical therapist at the company, she’s worked there for a long time and helped Grog get the job backstage.

Scanlan is a musician in the pit, he harbors a very obvious crush on Pike that is the talk of the company. He is aware of Kaylie and is working on their relationship.

Percy’s whole family was very musical, his parents wrote symphonies and he and most of his siblings were dancers. Percy and Cassandra were both part of the Briarwood Company. They were mistreated and abused by the Briarwoods and the ballet mistresses. Percy was loaned to the Emon Ballet Company for a production of Swan Lake. After the production, Allura offered him a permanent place in their company. He took it and left Cassandra behind. Percy is a principal.

Cassandra stayed in the company another year before she was able to leave and follow Percy to Emon. This fic takes place just a few months after she joined the company, she’s still getting used to it and the people. She lived with Percy and Keyleth. Cassandra is a soloist.

At this point in this au, Keyleth and Vax have been together for about a year. Percy and Vex’s relationship is more new, only a few months old.

Cast List Vex is Sugarplum Cassandra is Clara Percy is Drosselmeyer and Cavalier Keyleth is Dewdrop Vax is Candy Cane Grog is the Rat King Kynan is Fritz

Scene References The entire ballet Arrival of Drosselmeyer Rat King Battle Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy Pas de Deux (Sugarplum and Cavalier) Waltz of the Flowers (Dewdrop) Trepak (Candy Cane)

Are you ready now? Then it's time to read chapter 2!

(if you have any questions, feel free to message me!)

some of Seth's coworkers/work friends at SVB.

Irma and Bijou are part of the corps, not soloists, and they're pretty recent hires, though similar in age to Seth.

Seth, Casey, Mark and Saleha make up half of the soloists. There are two other male and two other female soloists who I have not bothered naming or describing lol (plus the principal dancers) —these are the dancers Seth hangs out with the most.

Irma!! They're from Brazil! She's genderfluid! Usually based on presentation. As mentioned, a recent corps hire, and enjoys quirky and fun things like bright colors and weird clip-on earrings and stuff! obv that's limited when actually onstage, but for practice stuff anything goes as long as it's not dangerous or whatever. Sometimes Irma binds but only open-chest taping, not like a solid binder. esp when dancing. Is a very versatile dancer, with an energetic, bouncy, bubbly feeling, w/ emphasis on legwork. but again. downplayed when doing group dances. (but hey, danse des petits cygnes... or supporting dancer for the trepak or something...)

Irma's only like, 20, so one of the younger ones.

Bijou. She's not from France, she's American. Dapper butch lol. Has been dancing since childhood but started learning male roles and techniques in her teens or early 20s. "She/her or whatever" = she/her but will respond to like, "sir," or "he/him." Neat freak perfectionist.

She's a very controlled and precise dancer, and very fast and responsive, but can be stiff, or too sharp or severe. She's also not very good at pointe and doesn't really practice it anymore cause she mostly does men's roles but sometimes... there aren't enough men's roles. (SVB has expanded the way they do stuff by reintroducing partnered and co-ed group dances tho so... some leniency)

Me, crying as I try to make sure this guy doesn't look like Flash—Mark!! Short king. Mark is the shortest male dancer at SVB, which mostly favors taller dancers, so he kinda sticks out. Plus he's grumpy and has a permanent resting bitch face... and a slight midwest twang...

Guess what his nickname is:

Anyway Mark is a couple years older than Seth and takes dancing very seriously, may or may not be Seth's ex (I'm still deciding...) and tends to get roles which are villainous or threatening or involve crazy jumps because he is... intimidating and despite being 5'5" and shorter than all of the other men, he can jump higher than at least half of them lol —AND he can lift every other dancer in the company, including Seth, directly over his head.

A master of mid-air spins as well as any and all lifts, throws and catches, can do pointe (not WELL but he can do it because he insists on understanding exactly what the women he dances with are doing, and he isn't insecure about his masculinity so he doesn't care what other people might think) He is purposeful, intense, precise, and powerful, but on the flip side, he's not very versatile and lacks the kind of grace that is needed for like, princely roles or whatever. So he gets EXTREMELY typecast as scary characters except for the rare occasion he's put in drag to do bad pointe work. (cinderella's younger stepsister for example)

Saleha~ the shortest dancer at SVB, period. She... also sticks out like a sore thumb for obvious reasons as a 5'4" hijabi lady surrounded by people who are 5'11", but they can usually make her costumes work, especially for soloist stuff where being noticeable is a bonus. She and Seth are pals and def bond over costume stuff since they both have to get a lot of their costumes modified, albeit for very different reasons. She's Malaysian and came to the states as a kid.

Her dancing style is very light and airy, so she's good for fairies and flowers and phantoms and that kind of stuff. Sylph-like and dainty with crazy good balance. She's also done the stepsister (or is going to? that might actually be a future role not a past role...), like I noted on the drawing. Normally she'd be a weird choice for the younger stepsister in Cinderella since her whole thing is being floaty and graceful, but she's capable of utilizing her strengths to put on an air of exaggerated, flamboyant femininity and fake bad balance where she is constantly teetering around without ever falling, so... she can do it. (vs Mark whose take would be more aggressive and purposefully clunky)

I think she would be good as Giselle.

She's very friendly :>

and of course i've already posted Seth and Casey before:

I just copy pasted and flipped their head from an older ref I drew and slapped it onto the existing body for this since it felt like they were so much less detailed than the others (this is, to be fair, because this sketch was only as a height ref originally so it wasn't as detailed as Casey...) 😂

Seth is of course the tallest dancer at the entire company, often gets relegated to roles "en travesti" which annoys them, so the swan role is like... hell yeah!! and then they get blasted by magic—i mean very scientific geomagnetic waves and get superhuman powers. lol.

Casey—Seth's... boyfriend? Dance partner. Prince Siegfried. He's actually slated to get promoted to principal but at the time I have Seth get their powers, they're both soloists. Casey's a theater guy so he's good at imbuing acting into his dancing, and he's very fluid and graceful, so even the people who hate him have to admit he's very skilled and professional when presented with the evidence (seeing him dance). Plus he's charming and charismatic 😂

He's a very good all-around dancer with a lot of elegance in his movements, and he can do almost anything (though it will be more or less work/difficulty of course) as long as he has enough time to figure it out and get in the zone. Like, a scary aggressive villain is harder for him to do but he CAN do it. He's just better at being a handsome prince or romantic interest than he is at being like... a creepy wizard lol but give him some time... he'll get it done.

#i think i made mark too stocky for 5'5'' but i don't care enough to fix it #anyway #nadiart #rough art #arghdesign #scratchverse #seth ma #casey williams #realizing now that irma and bijou don't have full names in my notes XD #irma #bijou #mark keenan #saleha kuo #svb #not fanart

Shovelwarewolf Season 1 Review

Ah, Season 1. It’s definitely the weakest season of the show, but there’s a certain charm to the low budget and short episodes. For these reviews I’m just gonna break it up into categories and than give it an overall score.

Episodes:

Horrorland: Solid opener, had some weird quirks like SWW biting the tv. It takes a little while for Ivan to turn which is nice, helps introduce the character.

Nat Geo: Not much to say, the narrator slays me.

Ski Doo: Not much else to say, I love his description of the buttrock. That guy with the banana befuddles me to this day.

Six Flags: Pretty funny. The lil Donald Trump joke was funny (never stop making fun of him). I like his rant about moving the Wiimote. Also it ties into the next episode which is neat.

Duck Dynasty: Ah yes the mega shovelwarewolf everyone thought would come back at some point. Duck Dynasty the game is one of the funniest games of all time in my opinion. “John Luke, FORGIVE ME!!” Also the “Oh That’s Not Good” track sounds a lot like Stranger Things (probably the synth).

Rudolph: I love this episode. Santa has the greatest villain arc. SWW mimicking the Abominable Snowman gives me life. I also like the the little Carol of the Bells at the beginning.

Music rating: I also figured I’d rate the music used in each season since AJ wrote some pretty good tracks for this series. Plus I have strong opinions on the different variations of the opening and transformation themes.

Season 1 opening: I love it, very subdued compared to later ones. But this is a great composition of music that works any way you do it. Specifically I love the piano in this variation.

Season 1 transformation: Again like the last one, very subdued, I like this one fine it goes a little fast but uses the piano similarly to how the opening did which works really well.

Oh That’s Not Good: Like mentioned above it sounds a lot like Stranger Things in the best ways. I love how it’s used in the scene transition to show Ivan’s hopelessness. Great piece.

Trepak: Not an original piece, just a public domain song used in the Rudolph episode. It works for the scene but I don’t have much to say.

Couch Gag: This season’s couch gag was very simple, just SWW drawing on the whiteboard (on his stomach I guess?) I love it for its simplicity and just thinking of Ivan trying to pass the time in any way possible. I wish we could’ve seen what he would’ve drawn for Duck Dynasty.

Overall: This season was alright. It’s only the weakest since it hasn’t been thought as through as the later ones were and the production value is just a little bit lower. I think it works and provided a great platform for the amazing seasons we got down the line.

#Shovelwarewolf #spoilers #review #howlaween #also stray thoughts #The SWW’s voice is so funny in this version #Like it’s rough and I’m glad they changed it #But this deep warbled and weird voice saying lines like “PEOPLE HAVE NAMES” and “JOHN LUKE FORGIVE ME” is so hilarious #Also Ivan isn’t really in this very much #He transforms immediately three episodes and doesn’t even appear in one.#I also think they learned from the Rudolph episode that having someone for Ivan to play off before transforming is great for his character.
