So, apparently the song Dick always sings ("He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease, that daring young man on the flying trapeze.") is an actual song from the 19th century.

that moment when your girl falls for the guy on the trapeze, and transitions.
and then you cry because you can never have that trapeze swagger

Anyone else remember “The darling young man on the flying trapeze”
I suggest pairing it with the movie “it happened one night”

Part 2 of this Circus Au :P
tried to go for a cleaner look also
Heres Part 1 if u wanna see
BTW Espio being as knife thrower was an idea given to me by one of my irl friends, since I showed them my last drawings.
Also you know how theres an animal act ok but what if there was a Chao act instead and Cream was in-charge of it.
Some random silly thoughts\/\/\/
Also that same friend pointed out to me that there was a comic that had a Circus theme. Right after I was already done with my first drawings. Found it funny that knuckles was a clown

I NEVER KNEW THIS EXISTED T.T
Kinda scary how close I was to something I never seen. XD
Also apparently there was some mini comics of Tails as a magician which i found funny bc I have yet to draw him and I didn't know if i wanted him to be a magician seeing as he's all about science I wasn't sure on magician then again it is all about tricking the mind (guess ill have to draw him next)

what is the experience of doing circus arts like? how did u get into it? lovely blog btw
Thank you!! I've been practicing flying trapeze for 14-15 years now, and along the way I've been very lucky to have the opportunity to get many other disciples too. They range from the pretty common - silks and static trapeze for instance - but I've gotten to do some rare ones too like wheel of death and Russian cradle.
The short version of how I got into it is that I was a gymnast growing up, I knew my career was over post-high school because I was decent but not good enough to keep doing it in college, I saw Kooza's swinging trapeze act, promised myself I'd try any sort of trapeze the first chance I got, and two years into college I did! It was love at first swing. Since then it's all been training, seeing shows, networking, and lots of other little things that have added up to an extremely fortunate and circus-filled life. Flying trapeze has changed me fundamentally, I don't know who I would be if I'd never tried it, and it remains my favorite thing in the entire world.
My main takeaway has been that since flying, there is almost nothing in the world I wouldn't try once. It teaches you so much about trust in yourself, trust in others, risk assessment, and the insane breadth of human capability. If you have never done it - or any circus discipline really - I strongly encourage you to try. At a minimum you might face a fear, and at maximum it might change your life forever. 🤍🪽
