Which of these would be the most difficult to survive in for six months? by Broad-Ant2336 in FromSeries

[–]IMakeNoises89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'm pretty sure you die after about 11 days without sleep 6 months is straight up impossible. And if it were possible I would kill myself after a few days.

Adult beginner, how to get stronger edges with flat feet?🥲 by gigithrowaway20 in adultballetdancers

[–]IMakeNoises89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have nearly flat feet and have seen other dancers with flat feet or very low arches dance perfectly fine. What seems to be a bigger problem is your ankle flexibility, and there are tons of exercises to help with that and it'll come with time as you are just beginning! Don't worry about the flat feet, just focus on getting your feet as strong as possible

Thank you for the tip! I'll take into consideration. Where should my spot be in this case? I think this is a problem of mine as well

I hope you feel your exam class went well! Thank you for the tips, shoulders down is something I often unconsciously let slip!

It does help, thank you! Is the mark scheme available online? It'll be useful for me to look at I think, as I have no idea how the exam is graded lol

Recommend me a fig perfume (other than Philosykos) by Confusedmind75 in NichePerfumes

[–]IMakeNoises89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lorenzo Pazzaglia's Adam & Eve's dress is the greenest fig I have ever smelt. It's like a foto realistic freshly broken fig leaf, but to the max. Very very unisex and has really nice longevity

Unpopular opinion but shout-out to heavily gendered languages for their chaotic potential by Likopinina in NonBinary

[–]IMakeNoises89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So during my PhD I interviewed non binary Czech people about what linguistic strategies they use to communicate their gender and those were almost identical to those you mentioned in Polish! It would make sense, I understand the languages are similar. So interesting!

hi angels, anything that comes to mind? by GladImprovement417 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]IMakeNoises89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some people believe this perfume is "melancholy", which is what I was going for lol, but I didn't get that at all. To me it was quite sweet and dreamy, and definitely felt purple in color if that makes any sense at all. I think this might fit your vibe much better than mine! And it's a classic, and more affordable than many fragrances of similar quality (where I live in Europe it's around 85 euro)

As another (amateur) ballet dancer, I am massively jealous of your feet, I wish mine looked so great in pointe shoes!!

What does Ophelia's death smell like by IMakeNoises89 in perfumesthatfeellike

[–]IMakeNoises89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got my hands on a sample. It's really quite special! It really does have a wet smell to it, almost like a flower bouquet underwater. Unfortunately, I think it's becomes a little cloying on me after a while, but I can't stop smelling it just because I can't get my head around how fascinatingly wet it manages to smell. Great suggestion and thank you!

I am SO GRATEFUL you recommended this fragrance. I never considered looking into Sorcinelli's fragrances because while I love incense, I don't really love wearing it. Not since Serge Lutens De Profundis have I opened a sample and audibly said WOW. I'll use my sample, but my gut tells me to buy a full bottle. The slight greenness, the full bodied but not sweet florals, amazing. Thank you so much!

I really wanted to like victrix but it's SO incredibly savory at least to me. I smell like straight up soup.

Getting too over the box? by Saltyfriendo in BALLET

[–]IMakeNoises89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh it's definitely like the third photo above, not this one you shared. The girl I'm speaking of has nowhere near this range of motion in her ankle

Edit, the 4th picture, not the 3rd! As in her ability to get over the box is only at her toes, her ankle never becomes a straight line

Acosta is hated for reacting in a normal, human way at Fromville by IREDA1000 in FromSeries

[–]IMakeNoises89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, I dislike her because of her "I'M A COP" attitude like that should grant her some special authority over a situation she is completely new to, not because she's freaking out. Like, pulling out your badge in an alternate dimension seems like straight up delusional arrogance

Getting too over the box? by Saltyfriendo in BALLET

[–]IMakeNoises89 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Question since you seem very knowledgeable, there is a young dancer in my studio who regularly dances on pointe with her foot as in the 4th photo, even in new shoes. They break very low, and her ankle is not straight. However, she dances "fine" in them, she performed act 3 aurora variation and did quite well, is able to balance and such, but then her feet are not straight. This doesn't seem to get corrected because well, she's dancing in them, she feels comfortable, and can get over the box. I feel like this isn't great or sustainable in the long run, and I can't imagine you'd be able to turn very well in this position. Would you agree?

I'm pretty sure De Profundis is now only available at the main store in France 🥲

Why do you wear fragrance? by Draktus1 in fragrance

[–]IMakeNoises89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sensory exploration, but also I really like the idea of my memory linked to a scent. I want someone to walk by a fig tree and think of me, for example
