[grandtheftequine]

so who around here's got a hidden talent?

i don't mean your powers—we've all got those, no one's impressed

i mean stuff that has nothing to do with them (or for some of you particularly overpowered freaks, as little to do with them as possible)
like competitive hot dog eating, or the ping pong ball trick, or something

i’m the current world champion of extreme ironing

i was in the news and everything



so maybe hidden is a big word

[grandtheftequine]

this is the second stupidest thing i've read today
thanks

[flightforfreedom]

so supportive of imPort excellence, ambassador

so what was the first stupidest

[isthatyou]

my talent is flute playing and it's hidden because I can't do it anymore

[grandtheftequine]

i don't think it's still a talent if it's something you used to do

[isthatyou]

i still know how tho

i just don't breathe anymore soooooo

[grandtheftequine]

have you tried

[isthatyou]

ofc i tried

im made of plantstuff now there's no wind coming from this bod anymore :/

[grandtheftequine]

can you not talk either?

anyway this is sounding like the opposite of a talent

[isthatyou]

yeah i talk

its like a former talent. a lost talent. im still in mourning.

[grandtheftequine]

talking requires breathing last time i checked

so are you good at anything else?

[isthatyou]

dont ask me how it works man! i know what happens when i try to play some sweet tunes vs when i talk not why or how

uhhh swordfighting, exploring dungeons, video games...none of those sound as hidden talent-y as flute-playing tho

[hellogoodhigh]

i'd say managing to hide a pearl inlay box the size of a dictionary in the back of my trousers without being caught was pretty impressive.

[grandtheftequine]

wow that's
uselessly specific

[hellogoodhigh]

essentially, i'm good at not getting caught with stolen things

[ You know, when he's not just straight up grabbing stuff from a convenience store and dashing out the door. ]

[grandtheftequine]

in broader terms that's a much handier talent

[hellogoodhigh]

well you said a hidden talent, not a useful hidden talent
and what's yours, mr. ambassador?
making fun of everyone you talk to?

I'm fairly decent at a sport that doesn't exist in this galaxy. As far as useless talents go, I'd say that qualifies.

[grandtheftequine]

hey i never said useless

what's the sport called?

[ralltiir]

It's called Limmie. It's one of the most popular sports in my galaxy, has been for decades, but apparently it didn't make it to Earth.

[fireandhoney]

I can draw. And play the lute.

[Like he's admitting on a public post that he can pick locks.]

[grandtheftequine]

draw something

[fireandhoney]

[Finn makes a quick doodle and takes a picture.

He drew a troll wearing a cowboy hat.]

[grandtheftequine]

what the fuck is that

[fireandhoney]

A troll. And not the internet kind.

[grandtheftequine]

[h2no]

[grandtheftequine]

[bragnificent]

I couldnt use my power for an example anyway, all thats done for me talentwise is give me a killer booze tolerance
which admittedly does come in handy quite a bit
so how hidden are we talking
cuz like, ppl can tell by looking at me I'm great at sports or in bed but it doesnt mean they rly KNOW it

[grandtheftequine]

let's go with something someone might be surprised to find out you're good at

[bragnificent]

jeez idk
I think most ppl just assume I'm good at everything
would u guess I can dance? and act. so the whole package really
I know I probably dont seem like the type but like I said: good at everything

[grandtheftequine]

except humility apparently
but that's a useless talent anyway so dont bother

[bragnificent]

thats not even a talent
what goods embarrassment ever do anyone

[ ... That's not what humility means, Reggie. ]

TEXT.

[unvariable]

No

[ Unless constantly dying and overthinking count as hidden talents. ]

Are those really things you're interested in hearing about? Hot dog eating and people who are good at ping pong?

[grandtheftequine]

who said anything about being good at ping pong

[unvariable]

[ ... ]

You did. Just now

[grandtheftequine]

being good at ping pong and being good at the ping pong ball trick really only have the ball in common

[unvariable]

Oh
Well
If it has nothing to do with the game then what is the ping pong ball trick>

[ About 30 seconds pass, then: ]

Never mind I googled it
I don't think that qualifies as "hidden"

[grandtheftequine]

what else would you call it?
i mean it's not exactly the kind of skill you put on a resume

[unvariable]

If you do it on a stage or for money like these results lead me to believe many people do, then I think you're good to just call it a talent at that point

[grandtheftequine]

oh some people do it recreationally

[unvariable]

Is that your hidden talent?
