A Generation Of Dancers
Chapt. 1
— Houseplants, knick-knacks and pink curtains.
Blurb — Louis is new, Niall is the 5th member of 5SOS (I couldn't help myself, i'm not sorry for the self-indulgence there) and Harry wears suits. All. The. Time. (even to watch the telly)
Links And Info.
— I couldn't find the original "piss off," "wanker" video on youtube, so here it is from my twitter. (This is what sort of set off the entire fic, so thank you? to this clip? i guess?)
— Meyarch Boys Preparatory School
I based the name of the school “Meyarch,” (Pronounced May-Arc) off of the Latin words “Anima Mea” (meaning; soul) and “Archaica” (meaning; old) I did use Google Translate for these (i know, I'm very sorry for my crimes p.s language teachers don't come for me please and thankyou.)
— He's wearing Oxfords and not Brogues:
— Reason 1 and Reason 2
— Kingsman is an elite film, so go watch it!
— I’m thinking either this , this , or this for the chairs in Ms. Camberwell's office. The last one in particular reminds me of whenever the teachers at primary school sat on them the whole class would cackle cause the chairs were so tiny and they made the teachers look like giants. (Which is what prompted me to write this scene)
— A guide to sea flowers in Cornwall that are still flowering in October.
— Here is the song that Harry and Louis could hear on their way to isolation: Chopin · Nocturne No.20 in C-Sharp Minor Op. posth (it’s such a beautiful piece of music, so I had to include it.)_
— Info on the yellow field that they woke up in.
— Harry was listening to Waltz of the Flowers · Tchaikovsky when the boys got back to the room and he had a Brassica napus in the button-hole of his suit blazer.
— Obviously, the song ‘She Looks So Perfect’ is from 5SOS’s self-titled first album, and it’s a bop, so here's the link to it.
— Also, here’s the links to their (well, it’s really only Luke in these, oops but-) covers of ‘Forget You’ and ‘Just the Way You Are’
— Harry’s pink tooth brush
— Just Niall being the 5th member of 5SOS
— I have a slightly concerning obsession with Harry Potter, and I accidentally made a subconscious reference to the "We could have been killed, or worse, expelled scene, which I thought I would link here.
— The 5SOS matching tattoo idea is from this GQ interview, where they break down their tattoo’s. (and they actually explain the meanings of them all, cause when Louis did the "Louis Tomlinson Breaks Down His Tattoos For GQ" interview, there wasn’t a lot of breaking down being done.)
— Here's some info on Cornish seabirds.
— The flower placed behind Harry's ear is an Achillea flower, which looks like this.
— Here is a Viscaria flower, which is what Harry gives to Louis.
— Niall is given a Poinsettia flower.
— Micheal and Ashton are both given Poppies.
— Zayn and Liam are given Scarlet Sinnias.
— Calum receives a Lupine flower.
— Luke is given a White Jasmin flower.
— Here’s some songs I listened to whilst writing this:
Human · The Killers
This was actually the one that inspired the title of the fic. If you give it a listen, you'll be able to figure out where I got it from.
It also links to a quote by Hunter S. Thompson where he said
We’re raising a generation of dancers
asking whether we are really our own people or whether we are autonomous beings/puppets to the world, which personally, I find really interesting
Broken Hearted · Sebastian Joel · Oscar Welsh
Choirs · Ashe p.s the music video for this is A M A Z I N G—well—I luv it, at least!!
Cigarette Daydreams · Cage the Elephant
Level Of Concern · twenty one pilots
Beautiful War · Kings of Leon I first heard this at Louis' online concert back in December and it's SO DAMN GOOD, I mean—the chorus with all the little riffs-?? YES—it's all so good!!
Sign Of The Times · Harry Styles (It was SOTT's birthday recently, so I couldn't help myself)
Notes
— Thanks, Sharyn, for proofreading this for me and for also sharing my weird obsession with the classical version of Bohemian Rhapsody. (and for also putting up with me when I wrote "Callum" instead of "Calum" about twenty times.)
