and first off, I’m 5’7, 5’11 in dance shoes, 170 pounds, broad shoulders and big hips and not small in any dimension. For a ballroom dancer, this means a lot of time spent learning the men’s parts. Especially in lifts.
I’ve had years now of guys kinda just going “lol heck naw” when told to lift me. I don’t admit this part much, but it makes me want to sink into the ground and die when every other girl can be lifted, but I’m just too big.
So this guy, smaller than me and really cute, shows up at auditions and I see this girl across the room getting tossed about like the beautiful pixie she is, and apparently I looked a little wistful because this boy asked me if I liked lifts.
“Oh. I… Uh… I’ve never really done the girls part. I’m a little big, haha…” (laugh it off, as usual.)
He looked me dead in the eye and then picked me up like a movie princess, bounced me in the air a few times, and set me down effortlessly while telling me whoever refused to lift me before was just being a lazy wimp.
I seriously doubt this boy will ever really get how much that meant to me. But, holy cow. Some faith in humanity just got restored.
Some of you are so young… You weren’t here for Dashcon… Mishapocalypse… That fateful day when Pizza was deleted… There is much history you do not know children. Be grateful you’ll never have to live those horrors. Be grateful…
Hey Overwatch fanartists! I just wanted to make a short info post about the awesome cool Waveracer DVa skin! Not only is it a reference to common Korean beachwear (with the long-sleeve bathing suit top and lifejacket) as I mentioend in this tweet, but the shirt pattern is NOT just a generic hibiscus flower!
It’s the Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus, 무궁화 in Korean), the national flower of Korea!!! There are several differences between the two flowers as well. While both are in the Mallow family, the Rose of Sharon is a temperate climate flower and as you can see in the graphic above, the design usually displays a shorter pistil! Twitter ver of this infographic is here!
I am not bashing any artist who already drew D.Va with a generic hibsicus flower pattern, just wanted to show how neat Blizzard managed to add all these little details in her new skin!
