Recently, I decided to give TADC a shot and I loved it! Not the drama that surrounds it nor the one within the fandom, tho, but I still can enjoy the series and the good stuff it has to offer. I wanted to draw the main cast for a while after watching episode 9, but, y'know, school had me with its hand on my throat snd didn't let me go free until end of the semester. But now I'm on vacation and free to draw as I like! It was really fun to do my usual semi-realistic style along with trying the more cartoony, wacky one, it was a great challenge to take! 😊

🎀 Here's the friend we all need in our lives, Suzie J. Ackerman with her avatar Ragatha. I honestly related to her a lot since the pilot. She's always trying her best and her most for everyone to feel safe and comfortable around her and as a result, she struggles a lot with people pleasing tendencies, such as myself. I find it sad that there are haters of her... and that's exactly a sad thing that happens in real life. People pleasers get to a breaking point and others blame them for suddenly establishing boundaries. I mean, yeah, we need to learn to establish them earlier but is so easy to say rather than to put in practice. More when you have a trauma that holds you to take the risk of being hurt only for saying "no." I'm glad that Ragatha found a way to keep being generous without allowing anyone to step over her again. 💗

Hey, I'm back! 😃 I know, I know, I'm late to the party, as always. It's not the first time I arrive late to a fandom. But recently, I decided to give TADC a shot and I loved it!

🃏 Here's our dear Abigail Brooks with her avatar Pomni. I like her, tbh. I often got fooled by all the merch, thinking she was the anxious, sad one that always wanted to find the exit. It surprised me to find out that she got adapted real quick to the Circus, maybe mostly because she made friends that supported her. The way she decided to be there for her friends after Kinger's wise advice and how she learned from each and one of them. The way she didn't want to give up on Jax even when this last one had already abstracted. I aspire to be as present and helpful as she is. 💗

The prompt is "Assistance."

"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Matthew 1,18-24

Nine days before a Catholic memorial, Saint, Feast or Solemnity, it's a costume to say a prayer each day to get prepared for it. In México, the Christmas Ninth, more known as "Posadas" ("Inn" in English) is accompanied with a fun dynamic, of the people gathered there divided in two groups. One half represents the Holy Family asking for shelter, the other half represents the town's people that won't let them in...

If only this representation would stay at such, and in the times when the story of the Nativity happened, two thousand years ago. Sadly, it still happens in our times and society, that Christ Himself is rejected in the flesh of defenseless people that are denied safety, shelter, food, clothing, even dignity and the right to live.

"Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25: 40.

The prompt is "Chestnuts"

Here's Félicie and Victor having some delicious roasted chestnuts, in honor of the Ballerina movie's 9th anniversary. 😊

Around the Christmas times in México, along with the Posadas, there's a genre of plays that are represented, named "Pastorelas" (Shepherdies?) where the Nativity Story is told in the perspective of the shepherds that travel to Bethlehem, after being announced about Jesus' birth by the Angels. Being told as a Mexican comedy, the shepherds have to face the devil's temptations in order to reach their destination, a hard task that is fulfilled by the help of God's Angels and Grace.

This is one of my O.Cs, named Paco, and he's from a Christmas story I invented when I was eight. He tries all Advent along to change his ways and become a better person, through his strength of will. He'll discover some time later, that the strength of will is given.

"The Lady of Heaven ordered him then to go to the top of the little hill, where he had seen her before:

She said to him: go up, the smallest of my children, to the top of the hill, where you saw me and I gave you orders, you will find that are different flowers there: cut them out, gather them out, pick them up; Go down and bring them to my presence quickly."

Nican Mopohua (Here is Narrated) Fourth Appearance.

In México, the piñata was originally for Posadas. If you ever broke one, you'll remember how when the candies fall, some children throw themselves to the front and get as much candy as they can, leaving some kids with none. But then there's the other children, who spend the next moment searching for those who didn't get candies, so they can offer them from theirs. It's a very tender gesture, and a great symbolism of how prosperity reaches everyone without leaving anyone behind.

I made a tribute to three of the most memorable Christmas stories I've known. Can you recognize the story each element is from? What's your favorite Christmas classic?

Innocence isn't the equivalent of naivety. It's the capacity to being exposed to the evil of the world, to know it by first hand and yet, remain uncorrupt to its effect.

Sekai ni Todoke | Reach the World - A "Belle" FMV Tribute

A Chizu Studios and Toho Company's movie "Ryū to Sobakasu no Hime | The Dragon and the Freckled Princess." or "Belle" fan music video tribute, with Sony Animation Studios and Netflix's movie "KPop Demon Hunters." song "What it Sounds Like." original English lyrics written by Jenna Andrews, Stephen Kirk and Mark Sonnenblick and Japanese dub performed by Ikuko Tsutsumi, MARU and Manami Yokoyama. Dub transcription, transliteration and translation by @usagi-release 

Well, I still got some KPDH crossovers in mind, being this one of them. The climax of the movie, especially when the audience starts singing and igniting their souls, reminded me a lot about the part in Belle, when Suzu is singing and her sorrow manifests in the form of a light. I then realized how both movies are very similar, with some diferences, of course. Suzu is always scared to show her voice, mostly related to the trauma of losing her mother, as Rumi at some point can't sing due to her hiding her dark side. Both Suzu and Rumi become pop stars, and they pretend something they're not. Out of necessity, Rumi opens up to Jinu and decides to set him free, and Suzu reveals her true, vulnerable self, in order to help "The Beast" 

I love both movies, and Belle keeps having a special place in my heart. 

"Score Suite/Hunter's Mantra." A B/L! FMV Tribute

A Gaulmont and Lionsgate's movie "Ballerina/Leap!" fan music video tribute, with Sony Animation Studio and Netflix's movie "KPop Demon Hunters." soundtrack "Score Suite/Hunter's Mantra." written by EJAE, Daniel Rojas and Mark Sonnenblick, music composed by Marcelo Zarvos, and song performed by Lea Salonga. 

This scene in the KPDH had on me the same effect as the Opera Garnier scene in B/L! I was renuent with both movies at a start. I remember watching the B/L! trailer and then the movie in the theaters, a little sceptic with all the goofy moments, until in both the trailer and the movie the Opera scene came in. 

I remember not giving any grain of faith to KPDH because the plot seemed weird and, of course, the demon theme is a bit for me to handle as a Catholic. But I came across a short of the first generation of hunters scene, and as I love any representation of traditional cultures around the world, the scene touched me deeply, to the point of tears. 

Both scenes in both movies feel so eerie, magical and beautiful that they made me give them a chance, and I don't regret making those decisions. I wanted to explore the theme of art in this video. How art can turn to be an element of expression that allow us to connect with others. A legacy we can carry and pass on to the next generations. 

Here are, as the KPDH movie, three in each dancing generation: Rosita, Odette and Félicie's Mother, who pass the torch to the main finalists of the movie: Félicie, Camille and Nora.
