For a while I've thought of doing something based on the story of the Children of Lir, probably the most famous of all Irish transformation stories, but I was still hesitant with bird TFs. What finally convinced me was looking at Matthew Bourne's revisionist Swan Lake, which he famously revamped as a Gay love story, which is why I added a romantic pairup here. But more importantly he got his male dancers to really move like swans, and not like the stereotypically dainty, prancing ones people think about - his swans don't just glide gracefully; they also flap, they hiss, and they waddle like actual ones. They're graceful, but also powerful and sometimes aggressive, like real swans. Just have a look here and you'll see what I mean - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm6MGWeE-as&t=1108s
Really makes you see how some young men might be drawn to that grace and power and want to meet them in the water.
I feel I should just admit upfront, I was never a fan of any of the Swan Princess movies - even as a kid I saw them as Disney ripoffs. But also I knew the actual Swan Lake story way before - I still have a very fine picture book of it written by Margot Fonteyn, and the illustrator also manages to make the transformed characters look very birdlike, even in their human forms.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day
