Train Tracks and Porcelain by jaerie @jaerie

Length: 42k Rating: E

At the first hint of light, Louis was slowly brought back to consciousness by the growing swell of activity around him. It started in the distance with loud clanks and clatters and rose with the hollers of men and thudding of boots against the solid earth. He listened as he blinked the sleep out of his eyes and tried to place any sounds he was familiar with. It took him too long to remember that he wasn’t back in his rented room. The energy was what floated to him next, a buzz that made him peek through the leaves to see what was going on. The next moments happened in the strange slow motion of dawn. Shadows were forming into people and things and, there in the middle of it, Louis watched the humongous head of an elephant emerge from a box car right in front of his eyes. Or a Water For Elephants inspired AU

“welcome to the circus!” sleepy boys inc. &co fanfic — chapter 1

hi! this is my first time writing a fanfic, posting an actual thing on tumblr and also the FIRST chapter of my circus au sbi&co fanfic!

this would normally be posted on ao3 but i’m currently waiting for my invitation.. but im very excited to share it with people and my friend recommended posting it on here since apparently fics do very well on here:)

BETA READ BY CLEETUSPAWS (THANK YOU SO MUCH!)

the rain hit the stone tiles of the street with loud pitter-patters, accompanied by the splash of a red pair of vans and black converse walking through a puddle. toby sighed when rain hit his head through the umbrella, looking up at the inconveniently placed hole. he turned to tommy with a frown, who was blissfully unaware and munching happily on his shitty sausage role from the sketchy bakery a few blocks away. 

“tom, the umbrellas got a hole in it.. and my hairs getting wet.” 

toby sighed, tapping tommy on the shoulder with a small slightly annoyed smile, pointing to the hole once tom had looked over.

tommy looked puzzled, 

“what the fuck man? this umbrella was fine like— two days ago, when that guy gave it to me.. did you bite it or something tubs?” 

he snickered, nudging the other boy with his elbow, a smirk plastered across his face, causing toby to fall backwards a tiny bit. he gasped, folding his arms.

“hey! don’t you be nudging me, also, i’m not a rat, i didn’t bite the umbrella. i don’t think it would be that tasty anyway..” 

he grinned, nudging the blonde back with a laugh. 

tom laughed out loud, finally moving the umbrella around so the hole was behind the both of them, the rain still cruising through but luckily far enough away that it wasn’t bothering the two. the hair of the two swayed in sync in the soft breath of the wind and the rain seemed louder on the top of the run-down umbrella now. or maybe they seemed quieter; it was hard to tell. 

they had been quieter with eachother than normal recently, anyway. tommy had noticed it, assuming tubbo hadn’t so much. if toby noticed anything wrong he would obviously tell him, right? that’s how it’s been going since they were twelve years old— how its been going since they declared they were best friends in that shitty run down orphanage. shivers run down his spine at even the mention of that place. what a nightmare of a shithole, tom felt a pang of guilt for all the kids who were still stuck there, trapped in the foster system. he just hopes they wake up one day and take the chances of escaping. 

tom snapped back into reality after a short moment, rolling his eyes at the fact he had a full train of thought about the life he so desperately wanted to leave behind in the dirt. maybe one day they’ll be able to help out some kids to escape that dump. 

well, obviously not now.

scraping his lunch funds together was difficult enough for him.. let alone having to donate to the homeless shelter camp thing so he and toby can still ‘live’ somewhere. 

“it’s practically paying rent, just masked as a nicer thing.” he explained to toby once, after they’d dropped whatever money they had left at the end of the month into the red bucket gripped by the owner of the land.

toby sighed, looking over to tom who had a wry look in his eyes, turning away quickly. he made an awkward facial expression before speaking:

“is it a mcdonald’s night.. or have we already spent too much money today?” he quizzed, glancing up to tommy and watching his hand as he brought it up to brush it through his hair, the blonde strands falling over his forehead again comfortably.

tommy thought for a moment, suddenly turning up to tubbo with a cheeky smile.

“you know what tubzo? why not man? we deserve it. we’ve been working all week and shit..” he gushed, gripping the umbrella tighter in his hand. toby seemed to catch up on the excitement, grinning back at him.

they walked faster now, turning onto a different street other than the one which would direct them home, chatting along until tommy stopped. turning to a telephone pole and looking at the brightly coloured poster stamped on it.

‘CASTING OPEN’ it read in a big pink font, a black shadow decorating it. under that violation to the eyes, there was extra text. holy shit.

there layed the logo of the ‘syndicate circus’, the swirly writing all too familiar and sported with the three colours for the three members. yellow for acrobur (‘what a stupid fucking name,’ tommy thought, who hates their child that much? he hates to admit acrobur was probably his favourite, though..), a bright green for crowman and a vibrant red for the blood god. jesus christ. 

he poked tubbo on the shoulder, pointing to the poster and aggressively tapping on it.

“toby. are. you. seeing. this? castings for SYNDICATE? TUBZ. THIS WOULD BE INSANE.” he marvelled, grabbing the poor boy by his shoulders and shaking him slightly.

toby scoffed, 

“tom you’re being a bit ambitious.. they wouldn’t let two teenagers - who barely have any talent at all - within fifty feet of the tent, let alone in it.”

tom rolled his eyes, crossing his arms, “you’re so boring, toby!” he ranted, sounding agitated,

”such a pussy. you know that right? you’re a puss.” 

his tone changed to a teasing one, poking at the brunette with a cheeky grin.

tubbo blinked, crossing his arms and raising his eyebrows, waiting for tommy to continue.

tom scoffed, hands moving around in strange gestures as he attempts to explain—-

“okay- look, toby, like.. you’re good at those fuckin trampolines and i’m like really funny!” 

tom stared at tubbo while he thought, his mumbles snapping the other out of his train of thought,

“and like.. i’ve always loved syndicate circus and i just think it’d be REALLY cool..”

toby stared with a blank face, a smile creeping up slowly,

“well- you’re not that funny. but its just.. we might not have enough money to support that, tom.”

tommy massaged his temple, right. money. that’s a good point. oh well!

“who fuckin cares about money?? imagine how much we could make from joining THE syndicate circus!” he exclaimed.

toby lowered his head, thinking again before looking up to tommy about to speak—

“come on, man! pleaase?? please please? pretty please, toby..????” tom begged, trying his hardest to do some kind of puppy-eyes.. and failing.

tubbo sighed. ‘anything to make tommy be quiet,’ he thought, turning to check the date on the poster.

“fine,” he muttered, “but as soon as ANYTHING goes wrong, we’re out of there. got it?”

Shortaki Week 2023 - Day Two - Distance / Carnival / Routine

This was the moment I knew I was on a roll doing all three prompts since I almost immediately came up with an idea:

"What if Grandpa Phil's stories of Arnold's mom and dad being in the circus were actually true and there's an alternate universe out there where Arnold goes with them and becomes a tightrope walker? Like his parents were in his dream?" and "What if Helga sees him at a distance when she's in the audience one day [when he's performing in Hillwood] and that's how she gets her crush on him?"

Since it's easier for Helga to hide her crush on Arnold (him being in a traveling circus/carnival and whatnot), she's only really trying to hide it because she thinks it's a pipe dream. It's not like "the Astounding Volcano Boy born from the Green Eyes of San Lorenzo" had any time for silly crushes... Little does she know that he spots her in the crowd and fell in love with her.

They probably get to know each other after shows and write when he's on the road again. Y'know, this would make a good fanfiction...

Hope you guys like this one as much as I did making it! Been so wonderful seeing all your reactions!

day 3 already !! today was a bit of a struggle since I dont really have any circus related ocs, but I asked my roommate what came to her mind when she thought of circus related jobs: one of them was makeup artists, so I drew Yon dae !! (with niran getting makeuped as a little cameo lol)

They're a makeup artist and part of an idol group with niran and 3 other friends :)

So this au is pretty much 'what if they chose to perform in a circus instead of the idol industry' and bam !! Maybe I'll develop it some more cause it's pretty fun :)

CircusAU!

So, this is a secondary blog I have from my general blog. This will be about my FnafSb AU (More focused on Sun and Moon) but unlike what the account and this publication are called, no, it is not an Au where everyone are from a circus, but I called it that because of some things that happen in the Au.

Well, that was all the important info i had, kisses and love and see ya soon!

If sun gets a sketch moon deserves one too .

The broccoli was too stunned to speak-

So yeah I´m probably going to do mini comics following the plot of this Au that I came up with while choking on coffee once✨

A reminder that here Bakugo and Ochako are like brother and sister, not a ship 🧍🏽‍♀️

[shadowyone]

Here’s my designs in full. Not all of them, but a decent hand full at least. I even drew Father Martin’s designs. I might go back in to change a few of them up.

[preciousroy2]

Omg....unable to write coherent English, but I’ll try.

The beautiful @luxahheart got me this commission for a story I’m writing as a birthday present.

Pretty insane how someone you’ve never met face to face can become such an important and awesome part of your life.

This is hands down the coolest, most amazing thing anyone has ever done for me! 😭Thank you, love. There are no words. And thank you @personeh for being so god damn talented! It’s perfect!

If anyone is interested, the story is called Curiosities, up on FF! It’s the one that has this insanely good picture as the cover art!

I’m gonna cry a little more and start planning the next chapter. Gotta make it good now! XD

Circus! AU

🎪 you’ve got a smile that takes me to another planet by aceofdiamonds (13k)

harry is too cool for circuses. louis is a fortune teller who knows literally everything. obviously, they’re meant to be.

🎪 Coax the Cold by MediaWhore (86k)

England, 1897.

English Professor Louis Tomlinson’s passion for the occult has been a source of mockery and derision for most of his life. When he hears whispers of a travelling freak show newly established in London claiming the existence of a monstrous sea hybrid, half-man, half-fish, Louis sees it as his ticket to credibility amongst his peers. The summer he spends undercover working on the show, however, gives him much more than that.

🎪 here comes the sun (little darling) by you_explode (45k)

louis and liam are a trapeze act who’ve just joined syco circus. despite his best efforts, louis immediately falls head over heels for harry, one of the jugglers with a penchant for glittery pink leotards. but louis’s had issues before with intra-circus dating, so he’s trying his best to ignore his feelings. which is why he’s not at all bothered by harry flirting with everyone but him.

featuring lots of pining, lots of ot5 friendship, runaway boys reconnecting with their families, harry and louis becoming co-dependent best friends until they figure out they’re in love with each other, liam fancying zayn who’s already dating perrie, and a beatles-themed circus.

🎪 Like The Wings Of Butterflies by sweetly_disposed (15k)

“Tell you what, why don’t you come by sometime, when there’s no practise on? I’ll teach you how to fly.”

Or, Harry, Zayn, Liam and Niall are trapeze artists, and Louis has a love for the circus.

🎪 The Ballerina Boy by justgotowisharder (10k)

It isn’t healthy, falling in love with a circus artist. They enchant you with their skills, capture you with a dance, and steal your heart with an illusion trick.

It’s too late for Louis, anyway. Harry already stole his heart.

(Or the one where the boys work in a circus, Harry is the pretty ballerina locked in a cage and Louis loves him more than anything in this world.)

🎪 responsible forever for what you have tamed by leighbot (26k)

He deals with a sassy, 500 pound liger every day, but Harry Styles might be his downfall. The thought doesn’t scare him as much as he thought it would.

Or, the one where Harry runs away to escape his past and Louis has nowhere else to go to have a future.

Circus Fic.

🎪 The Ones Who Entertain by LiveLaughLoveLarry (18k)

The prompt I based this on was: “Louis, Niall, and Liam are three friends looking for a summer job before they head off to university. Their extraneous efforts and lack of motivation lead them to a world famous traveling carnival staying in town for 3 months. Louis works in a shitty game booth, Liam cleans up the elephant poop, and Niall is supposed to be working the ticket booth but honestly he just does whatever the fuck he wants. All is well until they meet Harry (a palm reading, dream analyzing, plant whisperer) and Zayn (“the hot bloke in the genie costume that does shows with the elephants”). Fortune telling, cleaning up elephant shit, and romance ensues.” Honestly, that pretty much sums it up.

“Hi guys,” Curly said. “I’m-” “Hanzi the All-Knowing,” Niall said. “Harry,” Curly said. “Hot,” Louis said. There was a momentary pause, and everyone looked at him. Oops.

🎪 Breaking Free by Snowy38 (43k)

“Let me introduce myself properly. I’m Ricardo Jose Diablo,” he beamed. “This is Louis Tomlinson, our resident lion-tamer,” he added.

Harry glanced again at the other young man.

“Harry,” he put forth his hand only for a simple case of manners. “Harry Styles…”

“What a great name, kid!” Ricardo grinned, squeezing his shoulder. “Now tell me something? Have you ever wanted to run away to the circus?”

🎪 Carnival Kisses by Erin94 (6k)

Louis goes to the carnival to see the circus with his theater class, there he finds Harry the trapeze artist and tightrope walker. They have an amazingly fluffy date that leads to smut.
