Chavirer le corps par dessus ton bras, basculer, tant de lumière autour de nous, d'imprécise étendue.

L'équilibre conduit par les rênes de la grâce n'a pas de variation. Cet équilibre qui mène au coeur de la lumière.

--

Tip the body over your arm, to sway and fall, so much light around us, an indistinct expanse.

Balance, guided by the reins of grace, does not waver. This balance that leads to the heart of the light.

Ok I will have to make this platform again, because honestly I am like so blown away that I am nominated for my utmost favourite Inuyasha fanfic that I wrote for Christmas last year 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

It was my first go on my Midoriko and Kirinmaru OTP, because honestly I was simply blown away by @unlockthelore​ Elucidation (BTW I have nominated your short for ‘Best One-Shot”, that I wanted to take you on an adventure far away, where sorcerers, enchanted gardens and knights on crusades with them. It was magical, frightening and yet so beautiful.

By one vote, this won over The Gambler (may or may not watch that one tomorrow), so here we go!

y’all I think you’re lost. that or late.

oh look the French monarchy apologists are giving everyone a lesson

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh they’re the chorus and this chorus is very pretty

I think that is Versailles

Area Tourists Are Bopping In The Projected Video (I Think?)

this choreography is so cool

“BACK TO THE TOUR EVERYONE”

hey no tourist get out of there

just lemme dance in the gardens at Versailles...

so the tourist fell asleep on the fancy bed and it looks like the rest of this production is gonna be his dream. okay.

prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

this has Big Sapphic Energy

um HELLO STEPHANIE D’OUSTRAC 

“he’s gonna destroy us all but also consider. I love him”

seriously she is EVERYTHING

that outfit makes him look like he’s auditioning for Octavian

that is entirely correct

just a normal morning parade idk

she’s already triumphed gloriously IMO

this is really lovely

well that ruined the mood rather quickly

when the object of your affections attacks your castle and frees your prisoners

totally heterosexual things to say

wait why is Renaud exiled

“don’t go hang out with Armide I am totally just saying this because you would be unsafe and not also because you would thus become unavailable”

who wants to bet he gets locked away

this duet bops also that dress is SO pretty

yeah not sure I’d be able to resist either

yeah no I couldn’t

the aesthetic and the music are marvelous, as are the Vibes

seriously

DRAMATIC ENTRANCE

she can’t bring herself to kill him
