DE: Milliways has got talent

From runningred :
Can your pup sing, draw, cook, play music? What are the little skills you're pup has?

Also, since it's been a while and we have new faces: Do you have an idea for a daily entertainment? Leave it as a comment here at the DE suggestion box and we'll give credit when it is used! We'd offer internet hugs or cookies but budget cuts have limited our resources.

Thanks to this video (use headphones or have silent if you are at work or places were explicit lyrics are problematic), I am convinced Selina used to study dancing; likely hip hop, but maybe other styles as well. This would also explain how good she is at parkour.

Sam Wilson and Jessica Drew slay at karaoke. Jess is especially good with Heart. Sam is also a very good cook.

Andrea and Ethan are my trick shooters. Don't know that they have any other skills. Actually, though it hasn't come up in canon, I am getting a vague impression that Andrea draws or sketches.

With his love of mortal theater, I wouldn't be shocked to find Tybalt can act. He can also cook damn well over an open fire.

Amascut does well at sea (on a boat), despite being a not!cat and all the wet and stuff. Maybe she is part tiger or fishing cat. I've headcanonned that she is good enough to be captain of her own pirate ship, but part of that may be subtle mind control to get her crew to respect and obey her.

Fairy Fixit has a headcanonned talent for ivory carving and scrimshaw. It helps with her job but I think it qualifies :p.

Raph can knit.

Mike can sew.

They can both ballroom dance, but only Mike can swing.

Aang is skilled in woven jewelry making.

Bumi can place several instruments, and sew, and cook.

The Master of Ceremonies can sing and dance, play a little piano, act, tell jokes/anecdotes, speak six languages and understand a smattering of others, debate intelligently, cook vegetable soup (shut up, it's headcanon), drink copious amounts of gin, and of course there's all manner of bedroom skills that don't need to be elaborated on.

I am telling myself firmly that 'cook vegetable soup' is not a euphemism for something. And am mostly unconvincing.

[i_am_your_host]

Well, certain vegetables do accidentally grow into naughty shapes.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Ellen can follow engineering schematics, sew fabric, repair shoes, and repair pre-transistor electronics.

I have this headcanon that Hannibal Lecter can't actually sing at all well; all the other things on that list, he does with enormous accomplishment.

[street_sparrow]

Singing being the one thing you can't teach yourself to do if you don't have the natural talent?

[yakalskovich]

He even has the natural talents for those other things, but yes, he's hopeless at this one. No matter how much theoretical knowledge he accrues, he can't force his body to emit song.

[electro_kinetic]

What this conversation makes me think of.

[yakalskovich]

ROFL!

Hannibal: **honk**

[herr_bookman]

Autor can cook, but only recipes he has practiced obsessively. He can knit, but not well, and darn clothes. He can play piano professionally, but he can't sing to save his life. His drawings are passable. He knows how to dance traditional waltzes, but is pretty stiff once he actually has a partner.

Gredya is learning to cook! :D

Well okay she's...learning to cut things with knives, and be in a kitchen without making herself and everyone else miserable. Also learning to skin animals, and all sorts of useful things. Like reading. And shooting guns, badly. And using a lighter. She's been upgrading her technology all around. Otherwise I suspect her skillset doesn't translate all that well into human terms.

Bossuet has a hundred little skills of varying usefulness. He can darn socks, he's a good bowler, he can recite while standing on one foot, and he's brilliant at the mathematical and memory part of card games; it's too bad he always gets dealt such godawful hands. Tragically, he always wanted to learn ventriloquism but it never worked out for him.

Sariel can dance, though she's much more Lucian carnival than classical there. She can also sing, but she doesn't often let people hear her doing so. There's a certain level of trust that goes with hearing her sing.

[mindofathief]

Duster's too quiet to be a good singer, but he more than makes up for it by playing the bass. His cooking skill level is about "good enough to feed myself and not go hungry."

[filemyclaim]

Clem Fancies herself a wannabe rock singer, and definitely a rock groupie.

Dixie Is a professional dancer and singer, obviously.

Juliet: Considers herself quite the dancer.

Pinkie: Pinkie can do all of those things and prides herself upon being able to do them all at once!

Eponine: Sings like a lark when nobody's looking.
