''Magazine of Art'', Vol. 3, 1928 Laurie Devine in "Dance, Little Lady”; from Charles B. Cochran's Revue "This Year of Grace!" Mask by Oliver Messel (photo by Maurice Beck & Helen Macgregor) "Laurie (sometimes “Lauri”) Devine was the daughter of Australian vaudeville and circus performer Tom Rees, and began her career as a contortionist. By 1916 she was appearing on stage in London and a decade later was a celebrated cabaret and revue star, often performing with her brother Tom, who often took the family name of Rees." .... "Laurie Devine was noted for her acrobatic and contortionist dancing, and also for performing with grotesque masks, and she carried both features across to her work for television..." (Source)

Siiighhhh Juliette my baby 🩷🤍🧡

I actually kinda need to change her name.. She’ll still be called Juliette, but like.. TFC characters are named after their roles in the circus so I suppose Juliette has to be called The Contortionist, which idm, it’s just a mouthful

Finally posting these from my TikTok! Never shared it on Tumblr lol

This was a circus AU idea that popped up sometime over the summer (2024). It’s just a fun little thing that (eventually) developed some lore.

In this I couldn’t decide what to make Luffy. He was one of the hardest to pick. Oda likely would have chosen a clown to stay on brand. Realistically he would have been a contortionist (as a way to translate his devil fruit into an IRL context) and I personally think he gives off aerialist vibes. You cannot tell me he wouldn’t love to be in the air in the closest sense possible lmao

So why pick if I can draw him as all of that stuff! Throw it all into the blender just for the heck of it!

So in this Luffy has his main act (trapeze) and side acts as a clown. He uses contortionism in both to make his acts more intriguing or fun!

When he walks the grounds to interact with guests, especially kids, he usually goes around as a clown to best garner attention and to have fun with the kiddos.
