Meanwhile, Dance Academy

lizbeeI thought I had to go out, but I was wrong, so now I'm fully dressed and sitting at my desk, watching Dance Academy and quilting.
(I'm probably going to bring my current quilting project on my trip, because I like having something to do with my hands when I'm sitting around and talking. Please don't laugh at how dodgy my work is up close.)
Anyway, my SI joint started playing up again yesterday (I think it must be related in some way to my gait, because it happened just after I took a long walk), and this made it extra painful to watch Saskia breaking Tara's back.
I knew it was coming, so I've actually been putting off watching (bone-breaking is a major squick of mine -- I cannot cope with descriptions of footbinding, for example), but it was just terrible.
NOT TERRIBLE was Abigail training Kat. If they weren't 16 I'd be demanding hate-sex fic. And just the other day I was saying I only friend-shipped them!
Oh, and of course Grace tortured animals in her youth. Of course she did. I hope the season ends with Saskia and Grace leaving ballet FOREVER. Such well-written villains. Such deeply horrible people.
Meanwhile, the Tara-hate on Tumblr is horrible. It took me a while to warm up to her character, because at first I thought she was a bit bland and gormless. Then, of course, it became apparent that she's just an awkward turtle-duck who never met a bad idea she didn't wholeheartedly embrace. But according to Tumblr she's an evil slut who needs to be punished for her various transgressions.
Abigail, on the other hand, is regarded as a hero by the same people. Now, I love me some Abigail because she's like if Mai and Azula had a daughter and decided she should take over the world via ballet. She's as much a failbot as Tara, she just doesn't hide it as well.
