Finally, here's Lulu's dialogue with Sora, Shay, and Dennis.

Lulu: You're... Sora: I'm Sora. From Duel Academy. Lulu: Duel Academy! Sora: Sorry! Didn't mean to frighten ya! Ever since I heard you were back, I wanted to apologize. I'm sorry what Duel Academy did to you and the people in the XYZ Dimension. I know an apology doesn't fix anything, but it's still something I needed to do. Lulu: What's Heartland City like right now? Sora: Since the war's over, the XYZ Dimension is rebuilding. Duel Academy is also helping to make up for what we did. Lulu: I see...That's good. Sora: Now that I got that off my chest I'll leave you alone- Lulu: Wait. Before you go, would you like to Duel? Sora: What!? Against me? I did tell you I'm from Duel Academy, right? Lulu: Yes. But Dueling someone is how you get to know them. Sora: All right. Let's do it! You know, you and Zuzu and Celina are a lot alike - and I'm not just talking about looks. Lulu: Huh? Sora: They think they can solve everything through Dueling too. Lulu: Haha! You may be right!

[flashback] Shay: Lulu! Lulu!!! Lulu: Can it be... Shay: *pant pant pant* Lulu! Lulu!!! Yuto: Lulu! Lulu: Yuto! Shay: It's you...It's really you, right? Lulu: It really is me, Shay. Shay: Finally...I had a whole speech and everything, but...Lulu!!! Lulu: Shay!!! Yuto: Sorry it took so long, Lulu. Lulu: It's okay, Yuto. Thank you, Shay. Sniff... Shay: You're safe now, Lulu. Let's go home. Back to our world. [end flashback] Shay: I know there's still a lot you don't understand, but you can take your time. Lulu: Thank you, Shay. Shay: Just make sure you don't leave my side! You don't know what may happen. Lulu: Thanks, Shay. But you know...I'm not a kid anymore. You don't need to babysit me. Shay: But...But just in case... Lulu: Shayyyy! Shay: Okay. Oops... I forgot to say this...Welcome home, Lulu. Lulu: I'm happy to be home, Shay!

Dennis: Lulu... Lulu: You're...Dennis? Dennis: I don't know how much you know about me. So I'll tell you everything. I'm the one who saw you in Heartland City...and told Duel Academy. Lulu: !? Dennis: Duel Academy sent me to Heartland to find you and lead the invasion of the XYZ Dimension. Lulu: ........... Dennis: I am truly, truly sorry for what I did. I won't ask you to forgive me. But I want you to allow me to help rebuild the XYZ Dimension! I want my Dueltaining to make the people of the XYZ Dimension smile again! Lulu: ........ Dennis: You don't have to answer me yet - you just got back after all. But I'll wait as long as it takes. Lulu: When you were Dueling on the streets of Heartland... Dennis: Huh? Lulu: I thought that was the type of Duel that would make everyone happy. Dennis: But I... Lulu: You're trying to atone for your past, right? I think that's a good first step. I want you to show me how you Dueltained again. The kind that made those kids in Heartland smile. Dennis: ......Well if you insist...As a Dueltainer, I can't say no! It's showtime! Is there anyone here that would like to join in my extravaganza? Lulu: Oh! Dennis: Looks like Trapeze Magician has chosen you to Duel me! Lulu: Gladly! Dennis: Thank you...Thank you, Lulu!

Walking The Wire - Chapter 2

"The most annoying part of the whole thing was that Kate Sharma really was quite good at what she did. "

_________________________________________________________

Anthony and Kate's relationship evolves as the Sharma sisters start finding their place on the Crew.

Ladies and Gentleman, Bridgerton fans alike, my insane mind has the honour to present you Walking The Wire chapter two.

Here we watch as our favourite idiots navigate their new relationship as it starts to grow more than some random animosity.

Don't forget to leave your love!

I'll be back next Friday with the next chapter!

[omarwolaeth]

I hope Duel Links (the in-game digital hub with alternate dimension access, not the actual game we play) didn't accidentally include the Fusion Parasite personalities into Rin and Ruri... Those were the only versions of them we saw duelling that wasn't in flashback, so hopefully the system can tell not to include that?

If not, is there a chance those two aren't acting quite right, but everyone's too happy that they're back to notice?

The bat family literally cannot go to a circus ever— like these people would all have panic attacks???

All the loud bangs would have them already on edge then you’ve got—

Clowns— uh no, Joker

Trapeze——-…. Dick is getting ptsd flashbacks from watching his entire family die so—

Ventriloquists— so we’re all thinking of Scarface and this is just unpleasant

Magicians— honestly they’d probably be underwhelmed given that they’ve seen Zatana

[nightthinker-08]

Messy design sketch dump for an AU that's been bouncing around my head for a couple of days now. Everything is basically the same except instead of adventures, they do actual circus performances, but it's every month, not every day. Though they do have practice time every day, which Caine supervises. He also assigns each member what their act is going to be, but everyone has their specialties tho  More below xP

Each player's specialties are: 

Ragatha: Trapeze Pomni: Jester (duh) Jax: Stilt Walker Gangle: Contortionist (or ribbon dancer? idk if thats a circus act-) Kinger Magician  Zooble: Plate Spinner Cain: Ringmaster/Lion tamer (he likes to perform too)

Most of them know more than their specialties cuz Caine likes to pair or group them up sometime. Like somtimes Ragatha or Jax pair up with kinger ( Jax mostly helps with his escape tricks) Rag's is also a bit of a jack of all trades cuz she likes helping out, but also cuz Cain likes to throw in twists in their acts mid-performance.

When Pomni first shows up in the middle of the final performance, which was Ragatha's, so she spawns high up on a tightrope. Ragatha (and everyone else) spots her while she does all these arial flips. In her panic, Pomni slips, but Rag's catches her and tries to calm her down mid-performance while also trying to make sure the two of them don't fall lol

𝟎.𝟏: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐲 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐠𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐲.

Spencer always lived under the stigma of being a child genius. His I.Q. was 187, he could read 20,000 words per minute and had an eidetic memory.

Everyone around him told him what to do, from his mother, to his "friends," to his teachers, to his neighbors.

"Hey Spencer, with that brain of yours you could make it in the government" "Spencer you could be part of NASA" "Spencer you could be a mathematical genius like Einstein!" "Spencer you're going to get into the CIA!"

"And where are you going to go to college? Because you know Harvard is already a lock for you" "I bet you'll go to YALE, that's where all the smart ones go" "Princeton is an excellent choice for you!" "MIT could open a lot of doors for you"

Spencer this, Spencer that.

But no one really thought about what Spencer wanted. Maybe he wanted to be a magician and make children happy with his tricks. Maybe he wanted to be a trapeze artist, or a fireman, or an astronaut, or just an ice cream man.

All these expectations of Spencer reached a point where he didn't even know what he wanted in life. He lived under the shadow of the expectations and visions people had placed on him, and he didn't want to let them down. He was just a kid, a kid scared of adult life who had to impose himself because others imposed it on him.

That's how his brain made him skip grades, have to enter high school at age 12, and have to suffer a lot of abuse from the grown-ups for just being a boy genius.

Spencer sometimes wished he could make his brain disappear and have a normal one. Then he could have normal friends, go to a normal school, have a relationship, experience the problems people his age have, and be able to feel the phases of adolescence like any other kid.

But things were not like that.

He had to live the life he had been dealt, with his genius brain and the damn adult problems at 13.

CalTech was a new life he had to accept, but it wasn't as bad as the one he had before. His mind was kept busy for a long period.

He was forced to grow up around books full of equations, chemical elements and mathematical problems, managing at 16 to get his first college degree, which was Mathematics, and the following year to get a PhD in it. But he did not dislike this.

But as they say it is never enough, he kept on studying until he was 21. Thanks to this, he became a doctor of two more degrees, Chemistry and Engineering, in addition to Psychology, Sociology and Criminology.

His social life at the university was not so hectic, in fact, he only stood out for the fact that he was a boy genius, and that was it. To other people, he was a person like any other.

Until one autumn day, in the middle of his 19 years and studying psychology, his paths were interrupted by crossing that of others, and that, probably, is the person who changed his life the last years of college.

It was an ordinary day in the university library. Spencer had been rereading an encyclopedia of human anatomy for two hours. Why you may wonder, well, it was his way of killing time during his free time.

Acquiring knowledge was the best way to keep his brain fed and occupied, according to the boy.

He had eaten his sandwich a couple of minutes ago and let his brain feed on information at that moment, trying to persuade his intrusive thoughts at that minute. Through the pages you could see the muscular system, focusing on the leg and foot areas.

To be honest, it looked quite interesting.

That day, leaves were beginning to fall from the trees, filling the ground with their autumn colors; there was a gentle cool breeze, a strong smell of wet dirt and people were crowded in the warmer areas of the campus. It was no surprise to anyone that the library was one of the most crowded areas, the vast majority of people were gathered around the tables as large college texts lay open on them.

Spencer was sure he had seen more than one student curse at the fact that they couldn't find what they were looking for, and then walk out of the room in exhaustion. It wasn't the first time someone had cursed his name because they found themselves reading the text they were looking for and, besides, they weren't able to approach and ask for it.

He could believe it was cowardly on their part, maybe they were too shy to be able to do it or it was an excuse to put off studying what they were looking for. Even though he considered that the The study methods they had were not very good and, if they started studying earlier, they could increase their grad-

"Excuse me."

A voice interrupted the conversation Spencer was having with himself, pushing away his intrusive thoughts that were beginning to take over his mind. The young man's head turned and he saw a girl, perhaps his age, staring at the encyclopedia in front of him.

"I asked Miss Wellington about the Rouviére and Delmas encyclopedia of human anatomy, and well..." The girl looked over Spencer's shoulder. "She told me that maybe the boy sitting at the back table had it. There are no other tables in the back and you're the only guy sitting here, so I think my deduction is correct and you have it."

"Y-yes, this is the encyclopedia you're looking for." Spencer admitted, looking at the young woman.

More than looking at her, he was admiring her. She was wearing a red skirt and hoodie with some embroidered words on it, her legs were also wearing dark leggings and some rather damaged black converses, over it she was carrying another coat and a backpack; her arms were loaded with medical and anatomy books, plus her hair was disheveled.

"Great! Must be my lucky day that a cute guy has it." Her books fell onto the table and she sat down next to Spencer.

The boy could smell the scent of tobacco and mint mixed with the scent of cherry perfume.

"May I see?" Spencer turned to look at her and, even though he was reading that book first, his head nodded. "Fine! I just want to see..." The sound of the leaves was rapid, as if a fan was moving them. "This... Nervous system."

Suddenly, and as if by magic, a notebook appeared in front of them both and quickly the girl was beginning to write on the blank sheets, even though to Spencer it looked more like a scribble than a resume as such.

"Shit, what is this?" the girl paused to read more closely. "In the central axon, the electrical signal is converted into a chemical signal, and then releases the chemical signal with chemical messengers called neur-neurotransmitters." The sound of the pencil falling on the table made the boy startle.

"Nervous system?"

"That's right, I have a lecture in three days and I'm still trying to associate concepts in the nervous system. Like my nervous system isn't nervous anymore."

Spencer chuckled to himself, the girl had a funny sense of humor.

"In fact, when the brain interprets that we are in danger, it produces a rush of adrenaline that activates the heart and muscles to place them on alert, but if prolonged, it can lead to health problems such as cardiovascular disease like heart attack and is associated with hypertension and arrhythmias and is the enhancer of other cardiovascular risk factors." Spencer turned to look at the girl, who looked quite interested in what he was saying, jotting everything down in her notebook. "But it's not that your nervous system is 'nervous', it's that it interprets that it's in danger and so it sends that kind of stimulus to your body that makes you anxious."

"I see you know about the nervous system, much more than I do." The girl scanned him from head to toe. "Are you a medical student?"

"No, CalTech doesn't have a medical degree, but I am a doctor." The boy admitted.

"How old are you?"

"Nineteen."

"Shit, and you already have a doctorate?"

"Actually I have three."

Silence stretched between the two, caused by the woman's shock.

"Are you some kind of alien or is your brain too big that it stores more information than I can retain?"

"Well, I have an IQ of 187 so I can read 20,000 words per minute, plus I have eidetic memory. But I prefer the concept of being more advanced than others."

The girl stared at him.

But to his surprise, the young woman only let out a giggle.

"You're funny, I like it." No one had ever told Spencer that he was funny. In fact, he thought that adjective didn't directly relate to him. "I'm Y/N, Y/N L/N."

"Spencer...Spencer Reid." Y/N denied.

"No, you're not Spencer."

"Excuse me?"

"You're Dr. Spencer Reid." Spencer smiled, she was right. "Well, it's nice to meet you, dr. Reid."

"Nice to meet you, Miss L/N." They both smiled.

"Well, now that I know your name, dr. Reid, we can start our friendship."

Spencer never thought making friends was so easy, even though he knew it was because the girl had gone to the trouble of calling herself his "friend," without even knowing him.

But that didn't bother him, in fact, he found it nice that someone had decided to be his friend.

Overnight, Spencer's evenings began to become more colorful, smelling of tobacco and mint, and filled with questions from Y/N, his new friend.

Although, at first, Spencer didn't seem comfortable around the girl, he quickly got used to it. He had learned several things about Y/N over the days, such as that she was a medical student at Pasadena City College, a college a couple of blocks from CalTech; she was the youngest in the family and had an older brother who had been diagnosed with leukemia a couple of years ago.

He had also learned that she was very into fashion, lived in an apartment complex nearby, smoked a couple of years ago, and only liked menthol tobacco cigarettes. Her favorite color was orange, but she didn't think it looked good on her, and she didn't see herself going to medical school, but she wanted to be a singer.

The first time Spencer heard Y/N sing was during a kermes in Pasadena City, she had been invited to sing on behalf of the medical school. Spencer never liked the idea of being around so many people, let alone at a kermes which was as unsanitary as possible, but his new "best friend" had begged him to go.

He couldn't say no.

He remembered perfectly how her hands shook with nerves, how she bit her lip as she cleared her throat and watched her bandmates, aka Y/N's other friends, rehearse with their instruments.

He knew she had practiced for this moment a bunch of times, had more than once arrived at Spencer's dorm wet from head to toe from running in the rain after a rehearsal, and hummed the songs under her breath every time they studied together in the library.

She was more than ready, but her own fears sometimes made her afraid of her talent.

Reid's eyes were on her, smiling confidently to convey that feeling as a guitar began to play the first chords, and announced the start of her performance.

Spencer didn't know what song it was, he wasn't even sure if the song was to his taste, but when he heard Y/N's voice he knew it had become his favorite song.

“Her name is Noelle

I have a dream about her, she rings my bell

I got gym class in half an hour

And, oh, how she rocks

In Keds and tube socks

But she doesn't know who I am

And she doesn't give a damn about me”

Their gaze was on each other, as if they were the only ones in that large space. The few times the eye contact was broken was when Y/N closed her eyes.

The song ended successfully and an avalanche of applause greeted Y/N, who thanked the audience for their attention. Soon another band filled the stage and for a few seconds, Spencer lost sight of Y/N. He wanted to tell her how great she had turned out, how all her effort and practice had made everything come out perfectly and that she looked like a total rockstar on stage.

"Spence! How was it, did you like it?" Y/N hugged the boy's arm, who turned to look at her with a sweet smile on his face.

"It was amazing, Y/N. Everyone loved it." Affirmed the boy.

"I was so nervous, I was so afraid it wouldn't go well, but I saw you there, and I felt like I could do it. You're my lucky charm, Spencie."

Spencer felt something jump in his chest.

"Let's get something to eat, I'm dying for some corn-dogs." Said the opposite.

"Y-yeah, let's get something to eat, my treat."

The day Spencer was accepted into the FBI academy was probably the most bittersweet day of his entire life.

At 22 years old, and in the middle of finishing his college semester for what felt like the fifth time, a letter arrived in his dorm room.

A letter of acceptance.

He could feel that all his hard work had been rewarded by whoever was up there. He quickly put on his sneakers and ran a marathon to the medical building at Pasadena City College.

His best friend's short red hair he could quickly visualize as he saw her smoking by the entrance, she seemed to be listening to something on her MP4 and bobbing her head to the beat of-who-knows-what song.

"Y/N! Y/N!" Spencer's voice sounded agitated, trying to get her best friend's attention.

The, now, redhead removed her earpiece and turned to see the tall boy running towards her.

"Spence?" From her mouth came the tobacco smoke, causing her to let the cigarette burn between her fingers.

"I made it, I got into the academy!"

The two big hazel eyes made contact with those of the girl, who dropped the cigarette to the sidewalk and hugged her friend tightly.

"I can't believe it, Spence! You did it! You did it! My goodness, I couldn't be prouder!" The younger girl began to do some jumping jacks as she didn't let go of her grip on his embrace.

"Thank you, Y/N. I couldn't have done it without you, you were the one who stuck with me through this whole process."

"You don't have to thank me, dorkie. I knew you'd make it, they couldn't leave out a genius like you." Soon they both disengaged from the embrace and the girl looked at the boy's face. "W-where is the academy? Tell me."

"I don't know, I-I didn't fully read the letter." He admitted embarrassed.

"Then read it! Go on." The girl took him by the arm and forced him to sit down on the faculty stairs.

Slowly, Spencer began to read the letter while Y/N listened intently to every word.

"The course begins on September 23rd of the current year in..." A pause.

Y/N looked at Spencer, who had stopped reading the letter.

"Where, Spence, what does it say?"

"The course begins September 23rd of the current year in Quantico, Virginia."

Y/N felt like a bucket of cold water had just been dropped on her.

Quantico? That was on the other side of the country!

"Q-quantico? Spence, that's on the other side of the-"

"Country, I know Y/N. I-I... I can't do it, I can't."

"What the fuck are you talking about!" The girl stood up startled, looking accusingly at her best friend. "No, I refuse. You have to do it, it's your dream, Spence! What you've always wanted for the last three years that I've known you, I refuse to let you back down now, I won't allow it!"

Spencer looked up from the letter, watching Y/N who was looking at him with her face burning with anger.

"You know I can't do that, what's going to happen to my mom? You know what's going on with her and her schizophrenia, I can't leave her alone."

"She would want you to go, Spence. Her happiness is where yours is, you know she'll be able to do it, there are plenty of options to help her." A long silence settled between the two of them.

Spencer didn't want to leave California, he didn't want to leave his mother or Y/N, he couldn't.

"Spencer Reid, I know what you're thinking right now, but I won't let you let this opportunity pass you by. You have dreamed of this exact moment for years, for as long as I have known you you have always wanted to go to the academy and you have done everything in your power to do so. Now they are offering it to you on a silver platter, you have to do it, there is nothing more you can do here in California. You've already studied all the existing careers in the world, you've already done what anyone in 50 years would have done and at your short 22 years you're already a doctor of three careers." The girl settled back down beside him, letting her icy hand wrap around Spencer's warm one. "You can't just limit yourself to staying here just because you have an engagement, the world has to know who Dr. Spencer Reid is like I know him, you have to go."

Spencer drew an elongated smile, feeling his body fill with that feeling of sadness that pervaded him from head to toe.

The redhead's words were true, it was his dream. But he didn't want to leave the only thing that made him happy on the other side of the country, he would love to carry it in his pocket to Virginia and have his dose of serotonin after each day.

He didn't want to stop smelling her tobacco and minty breath, the cherry smell coming off her clothes and the blueberry smell coming off her hair. He wanted to keep seeing the reddish locks of hair on his clothes and the cheesy paper notes in his pockets every time they met. He wanted to keep listening to the music on Y/N's MP4 every time he went to her apartment and drink coffee with lots of sugar that she made for him, keep hearing her voice in the shower and get biology questions at three in the morning every time she had a test.

He wanted to go to thrift stores to try on printed T-shirts and watch Y/N's camera fill up with pictures of the two of them, keep going to her shows with her band and eat frozen pizza after every gig.

He wanted to keep being with her.

But if she was letting him go, then he had to let her go too.

"I think I can go on living without hearing your bad jokes." Spencer's words lifted Y/N's spirits, who gave him a playful smile.

"Hey! My jokes are the best, last time you laughed for two hours."

"Because it was stupid."

They both laughed, letting the tension of the moment go with the last echo of their laughter.

"So you'll go across the country to make me proud?"

"Yes, I'll go make you proud."

Y/N's arms wrapped around Spencer's body, resting her head in the space of his shoulder and chin.

"I'm glad you didn't make a dumb decision."

Staying here with you isn't a dumb decision, Spencer thought.

They both pulled apart.

"Well, screw the skeleton. Let's go to the library and write your answer."

The girl's small hand imprisoned the boy's large hand, guiding him to the library to write what would be Spencer's fate.

The flight from California to Washington was five hours.

Five hours where Spencer and Y/N would be separated, and they would have to accept that fate had something different in store for the two of them.

Despite California being a sunny paradise, that day he wanted to keep the two friends company as they said goodbye at the airport.

"You already know my number, you know you can call me whenever you want." Commented the girl, who was in charge of carrying the book she had given him to read during the trip.

"I'm not such a fan of technology, you know that."

"There are pay phones over there too, Spence. It only costs a couple of cents to call me, plus they must have landlines there, and you have my email." The girl stopped in front of the door that separated goodbyes with new beginnings. "And if not, you can send me a letter. You know my address."

"A letter doesn't sound bad at all, in fact, for centuries, it was one of the most widely used means of communication by human civilizations since man began to write and whose importance transcended nations. The oldest courier service ever found was in Egypt in 2400 B.C. and in 1840, Sir Rowland Hill created the first postage stamp, which was called Penny Black, which was a profile drawing of Queen Victoria of England that had the rate 'One Penny' written on it."

"Oh Spence, I'm going to miss your fun facts about absurdly boring things." Commented the girl before she could hug him.

Spencer felt his heart clench.

"I'll miss you listening to me." They both turned in an embrace so tight it could take all the oxygen out of their bodies.

Neither wanted to be the first to say goodbye, neither was ready to leave the other. Their hearts were bound together like puzzle pieces, and just as when you lose one, the puzzle will no longer be complete.

"Now, you must go, your flight is about to leave." Y/N commented, separating from the young man as she wiped away the small tear that escaped from her eyes. "Miss me a lot, huh? And show off how pretty your best friend is."

"Always. Remember that wherever you are, whatever you do or whoever you're with, you'll always be in my heart."

A pout settled in Y/N's mouth, who felt like she was letting a part of her go with Spencer.

"Don't forget about me, because I will never forget about you." Demanded the girl, who was pushing the boy to go for his flight.

"It's impossible for me to forget you, I have an eidetic memory." He said laughing, waving goodbye as he received the book the girl handed him.

The two met in a final embrace, where Spencer could smell the girl's cherry and menthol tobacco scent for the last time.

"Write me!" Y/N vociferated, waving goodbye to the boy who nodded and disappeared behind the airport doors.

Y/N and Spencer didn't know that at that moment fate would place them on trial, causing their paths to diverge for many years until, magically, they would come together again.

Curly fry’s 2024 Halloween DTIYS!!!

This one is based on my version of the bad end au where the evil cups are part of a circus of the damned! And now you, yes you, can draw YOUR oc as a member of the circus too!

Deadline: 11/15/2024

Rules:

You can either draw on the photo itself or you can redraw the entire thing yourself. Have fun with it!

It doesn’t have to be completely finished. Don’t rush!

Gacha is acceptable!

Sadly, your oc cannot be the ringmaster. That’s vile’s job. Your oc can be another role in the circus! (Clown, tightrope walker, trapeze artist, acrobat, magician, daredevil, or any other roles in a circus!)

No NSFW, heavy gore (only a lil blood, nothing too crazy) proship, or offensive themes. This is for everyone.

If you don’t have an oc to use, feel free to use an npc or other character from the game/show!

MOST IMPORTANT!!! Please either tag me, or tag your art as “firecurl’s Halloween dtiys 2024” I reeeeaallly wanna see what y’all come up with!

That said, have fun with it! I can’t wait to see what y’all do!

I made a dtiys about a year ago but no one participated so hopefully people like this one-

Bonus w/o shading in case you wanna draw them instead:

Have fun!!^^

CIRQUE DE DANDY~!! (What started out as a few circus themed skin ideas turned into an entire AU XDD)

Here's the list of the roles and general stuff! -Dandy is of course the ringmaster, having started up the circus some years ago with Astro, Vee, Sprout and Shelly, to which it slowly grew into a very popular circus! -Scraps, Goob, and Shrimpo work as clowns, and are inspired by the three primary clown roles! Shrimpo was inspired by the Whiteface, typically more serious and leading the act. Goob was inspired by the Auguste, he is focused on more physical comedy and is typically rather clumsy. And Scraps is inspired by the Tramp, much more mischievous and typically mimics the others (mostly Shrimpo) during her part of the act! -Finn plays the role of the strongman, showing off to crowds his "impressive strength" (the weights he uses are pretty much always just made of foam, he tried to use real weights once out of curiosity and cracked his bowl...) -Astro and Glisten play the role of trapeze artists, and also do the tightrope. Astro's much more focused on aerial hoops, meanwhile Glisten focuses on aerial silk! They do many acts together yet also have their own solo acts. -Rodger works the concessions, Toodles tagging along to help out when she can! Rodger typically lets her give the people their things once they have paid or let her collect the money. -Poppy works as a bubble artist! She also incorporates dance in her act and is as bubbly as ever! She also has a special act of being an escape artist, having pulled off the water tank trick many times! -Boxten, Brightney, and Tisha are a part of the staff! Boxten works the music and sound effect side of the performance (though he does one day wish he can also join the performances, rather than work behind the scenes...as...nervous as he gets). Brightney works the spotlights, and Tisha helps clean up after the performances! -Flutter works the "human (or I suppose toon) cannonball act! She also does tricks and general things in the air to show off! -Sprout and Cosmo work as magicians (Cosmo being his assistant most of the time!) They also do general partner tricks together, such as throwing knives! They always match their costumes, whether it be practically the same outfit, or matching accessories. -Shelly and Pebble do animal tricks! Shelly helps lead pebble through the tricks and also helps him learn them as well! Pebble is glad to be a part of the fun! -Teagan does vaulting, horse tricks, ect! She's just as elegant as ever, along with her horse Chamomile! -Razzle and Dazzle do comedy acts and general performances, along with helping some others with their acts as well! Razzle absolutely adores the spotlight and has lots of fun! And as much as Dazzle likes to perform, he still has trouble getting past being watched by such a large audience... -Gigi works with the finances and games! What did you expect? It's Gigi. -And lastly, Vee works on the advertising side of things! And as good at it as she is, she's still trying to convince Dandy to let her get an act in...

Just Oncie calling the shots in Superjail, as he's prone to doing on occasion when dating the most approval-seeking, easily-influenced purple-hatted simp.

Can't have Jared getting eaten by another sentient circus ring of buzzsaw trapezes and murderous magicians.

Someone has to do a risk assessment around here.

[[Latest comic here]]

[viviandarkbloombartylusversion]

Just listen.... a Marauders era Circus Au

Think Contortionist Pandora

Trapeze act duo Sirius and Regulus

Narcissa is a tight rope walker/artist

Bellatrix is a fire performer

Andromeda is an Acrobat

Ted Tonks is one of the animal tamers

Xenophilius is a magician

Sybill Trelawney is the circus fortune teller

I'm thinking juggler/tricycle performer Evan

Idk who'd be the strongman, ringmaster, and some other positions like Andromeda's acrobat crew but think of the potential pls

In Duel Links, I got a new Dennis event and also unlocked him!

Dennis: Shay... Shay: You're... Dennis! [flashback] Melissa Trail: There's only one high-flyin' monster on the field now - and it's not Trapeze Magician! Shay: Drop the facade, Dennis! I'm going to show everyone the true you! When Trapeze Magician leaves the field, Target Flag lets me see what you're hiding in your hand! It's time for the real Dennis to now be revealed! Dennis: Is this what you wanted to see? [shows Polymerization] Shay: I knew it! Only Duelists from a certain dimension use that card! Dennis: Now that the cat's out of the bag, I can hit you with everything I've got! I Fusion Summon! The ground shaking Chaos Ancient Gear Giant! Bet you never saw that coming, right!? Thanks to you, I can now let loose as I have nothing left to hide! These potholes are wreaking havoc on my game! If I drive over one more bump I'm gonna lose my mind! Shay: Even if you suffer, it won't make up for the pain you caused. But I'll get to reap my revenge! For all the victims you hunted down - this is payback! Vengeful Vengeance! Dennis: Ahhhhhh! [end flashback] Shay: After everything you did to trick the Lancers, what does Duel Academy want with me now? Dennis: I just...wanted to apologize to you. And the Lancers. Actually, not just the Lancers - but to everyone. It's my fault that this world stopped smiling. Shay: Apologize!? It's too late for that! You think that'll make up for everything that you've done? Dennis: Of course not. Nothing I do can change the past. But if I can make Heartland City and the Xyz Dimension smile again, I have to try! I know not everyone will accept me...but it's the least I can do. Shay: If you really feel that way...Then battle me! You want to make everyone laugh again? Then why don't you start with me! Dennis: Okay! Why not start with the toughest! My Dueltaining will turn your frown upside down!

Dennis: No matter how many times I apologize, I can't undo what I've already done. That's a reality I have to accept. But I can't allow what i did to cause kids to stop smiling forever! With my Dueltaining, I know I can make them laugh again! That's the least I can do to make up for my past! The show must always go on! Direct your eyes to the skies as I present to you a swinging star performer! Xyz Summon! Rank 4 Performage Trapeze Magician! Trapeze Magician and I are here to make you smile ear-to-ear year after year! It's showtime!

Remembered the post I was gonna write. Olympics but for superheroes.

I don’t mean Dick entering the Olympics without telling anyone and winning gold (though that is also hilarious), or Bruce and Dick realising Jason is alive because he and Roy entered after losing a dare and both won their categories, I mean the Justice League holding some meet and greet-type event in Mount Justice for the press when some reporter proposes using the training equipment. Someone, probably a bat, proposes turning it into a competition. A date is set and events organised.

You could go all the way and make a bunch of categories: a floating obstacle course for the fliers; a race around the world for the speedsters; some sort of non-lethal light show for the magicians, but the idea in my head is just. All the bats, in costume, using the equipment and performing gymnastics routines for actual Olympic judges. Maybe there’s a bit of a spectacle when Batman doesn’t leave after they establish no metas can participate ‘cause everyone thinks he’s a cryptid hell creature. I imagine a cameraman asks everyone who they expect to win and almost everyone answers Nightwing, which is understandably shocking to the public since he’s only really known in Blüdhaven, and even then he’s not well known or really loved. And then they reach the trapeze category (it’s the best way to simulate grappling across buildings) and suddenly they understand a bit better, especially when he does a triple backflip as part of his warmup.

Au where the psychikers are part of a circus

toritsuka is the clown obvious, saiki a magician, touma the presentator and I'm not sure abt aiura

at first I thought of her as an acrobat or the trapeze artist but I also like the idea of her being the strongman(woman)

[takenbtwind]

Stormlight Archive Circus AU! (AKA I went to the circus and wrote all this down in about 30 minutes)

Kaladin does trapeze (so does most of Bridge Four) (the circus is a great “disappointing his dad” line of work)

Lopen and cousins are the clown troupe

Teft is the human cannonball (the circus I saw had a middle aged man as their human cannonball so there)

Rlain, Dabbid, and Rock are the safety team/crew

Dalinar owns the circus (insert tragic backstory about how he used to be really reckless and ignore safety protocols until his wife died)

I have a very clear image in my head of Adolin being the guy who stands on two horses running at full speed

But also consider Adolin and Shallan looking really cool together doing couples aerial silks

Also if Adolin is doing something aerial and acrobatic that gives Renarin something very dramatic to long for that a person with epilepsy probably should not do

Anyway Renarin isn’t in the circus until he and Rlain develop a sick juggling routine

Or I think it would be cool if Shallan did design for the shows (the circus I saw had cool spinning lights that reminded me of Pattern)

Szeth is trying to sell Dalinar on his ventriloquy act (his puppet is a sword) but Dalinar keeps rejecting it because Szeth doesn’t seem to grasp that his act is supposed to be funny

Wit is the illusionist/magician that Dalinar keeps threatening to fire since he never shows up on time. Whenever he misses performances Shallan goes on (she’s not as good at it but she gets away with it by being really funny)

Lift gets to run away and join the circus like she was always meant to

[heart-of-the-card]

You're the ring master of a circus. Which smosj cast member do you let in as an artist and what do you make them do?

I FUCKING LOVE CIRCUS

Anyways, Smosh

Cast that I would let in as artists: Shayne, Damien, Amanda, Angela, Chanse, Keith and Olivia (because their professional backgrounds)

- Shayne would be our strongman/stuntman (shooting him out of a cannon, fire eating/jumping, physical stuff aka cfm. Also stage combat as the chosen)

- Damien’s our magician/stuntman (sword swallowing, escape artist, cards, illusion type stuff also knife throwing)

- Amanda would be an acrobatic clown (hair hang, Roman ladders, rolling globe)

- Angela would be a clown (but also doing balancing acts, ie plate spinning trampeeze walking and works with animals but we’re also blowing her out of a cannon),

- Chanse is a aerial dancer/acro character (silks, acrobatics, tumbling, hoop diving, parkour, aka jumping over a car)

Keith is a acrobat (tightrope walking, trampolines, stilts, cloud swing)

Olivia aerial (silks, strap, hair hang, does a lot of physical comedy as well)

Cast that later become a performer (some different versions of joined as something of else later became an artist)

Ian: clown (also a knife thrower, rides the unicycle, trampolines)

Anthony: clown/trapeze (also body mod, general tumbling, Contortionist, also hoop diving)

Courtney: trapeze/aerial artist (did the wheel of death with Shayne once, flying/static/duo trapeze , cloud/Russian swing

Arasha: aerial artist (Spanish web, silks, stilts, sometimes trapeze with Courtney, flag spinning and baton twirling)

Tommy (cyr wheel, German wheel, hoops, s stilts, other general acrobatic skills, but also dj and bartender)

Spencer: tech that the cast has banter with throughout the show (idk man)

Trevor: mixed (does trampolining, stage combat, trapeze, general acrobatic and clowing skills, and over all a Jack of all trades guy)

All my circus thoughts, sorry if anything’s inaccurate or I missed someone. I really like circus stuff lol
