Once upon a time... by KatChan00 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

...Fakir wrote an awesome story to make everyone's dreams come true! Because he should!

It's so amazing. I am so hooked. Srsly. Words cannot convey how much hand flailing I did when I got into the last episodes of this show.

When I was first looking for pose ideas/reference, my first thought was Swan Lake. I spent about 20 minutes before I decided that they would be better suited to something from Romeo and Juliet, as per the the penultimate episode, and settled on this one almost immediately. Original reference still: [link]

Sorry this all makes no sense if you haven't ever heard of, much less seen, the anime Princess Tutu. If I were to try and give you a synopsis, it would sound weird as hell, but it's just plain wonderful in reality. If you need to be convinced that it's amazing and you should watch it:
[link] Awesome AMV (some spoilers that you'll probably forget by the time you get to them if you watch the show)

I suppose this image/description technically has some spoilers too, but nothing that you'd notice and think about without seeing the show! Ha!

(excess 3m babbling has been cut back and more useful info provided instead, enjoy!)
