KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER! Repost, don't reblog!
Tumblr media
NAME: niko PRONOUNS: he/him PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: discord! i don't rly like using tumblr im's but i will if others prefer it. im a lot less awkward over discord tho.
NAME OF MUSE(s): Leon (indomiinus), volo (prisionicmorality), adaman (gold-veins), i also play piers, elesa, guzma, emmet, and some ocs but only over discord bc i don't want to make a million blogs.
BEST EXPERIENCE: I haven't rly been rping very long on tumblr (this time around anyway) to have any bad experiences tbh! i've met so many cool people with such fun characters. i'm sure this'll change eventually but for i can't really point to one particular thing and say "this is the best!"
RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS: i think my biggest pet peeve is just not reading my character info. also just generally being an asshole and godmodding, but i think those are pretty standard. the last time i rped on tumblr, i had a guy stalk me from my rp blog to my personal pestering me for replies and trying to ship our characters but in a really weird aggressive way and that was pretty stressful. so i guess as long as you're not being pushy or stalking me, i'm chill with most things.
MUSE PREFERENCES: i honestly don't know if i have a specific character type. i guess, uh, "autistic/adhd/both and traumatized." aka, characters i can relate to on some level i guess.
PLOTS OR MEMES: Both! I love plotting though, so please plot with me. I'm a little slow to get going sometimes if I'm not super familiar with your muse (which is admittedly most pokemon characters since i'm working my way backwards in the games apparently).
LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: I try so, so hard to do short replies. Most of the time I'll match my partner's post length to the best of my ability, but my default post length tends to fall between "long" and "this is a five page single spaced starter that i wrote in google docs oops."
BEST TIME TO WRITE: I'm disabled and I work from home, so I'm available most days!
ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): unfortunately! well. hopefully not volo, he sucks. but i definitely projected a lot of my own shit on leon and adaman, and also made them trans because me too! the autism and adhd came baked into them by nintendo though, i didn't have to add that.

I’d like to ask what are the ships you won’t write for, please. I have a few ships but they’re a bit atypical and I don’t wanna ask for something you won’t do
It's honestly a short list, I'm open to writing practically every ship that's not listed below or categorized by the last couple of points, but here's a list of all the ones I can think of. If you want to know about yours specifically and they're not here and don’t fit any of the points, I'm afraid you'll have to ask directly with them. Or just request and see, but most likely, I’ll be open to it!
Also, every single ship I list as an example, I have seen. I am not making any of these up.
Blankshipping (Ingo x Emmet. This also falls under the second to last point, but since this ship is so prominent in the fanbase of these two, I feel it must be stated directly.)
Punkdragonshipping (Piers x Raihan. This might be a different ship name but either way I don't want to write it. It’s a personal reason, it makes me feel weird.)
Stonegardenshipping (Gordie x Milo. Out of respect for a friend who follows this blog, I won't write this ship. As with the above ship, it makes them feel weird.)
Any ships that stem from anime versions of the characters (Cilan x Iris for example. I haven't watched the anime since Sinnoh so I have no idea about so many characters either because I don’t remember or just never saw it.)
Any Ash ships. (Same reason as above, it's been way too long so I really don’t remember him or any of the people he might be shipped with.)
Family member x family member (along with the one below, I feel like the reasons are obvious but sometimes it still must be stated. Gordie x Melony or Leon x Hop, for example)
Child x adult (Example again, discounting their being siblings, Leon x Hop or Marnie x Piers)
From what I can think of, there's my list. Sorry if this didn't help, anon.

Steve Brodie: Leaps, Lies, and the Big Gotham “Gotcha!”
It was 1890 and a New York City tour bus rumbled up to 114 Bowery Street as the eyes on board peered outside eagerly and their driver began the introductions. “Ladies and gentlemen, you are seeing one of the most historic scenes in this great city. That, ladies and gentlemen, is Steve Brodie’s Famous Saloon.” Some of the riders excitedly buzzed at the name, but others were unsure before hearing the rest of the tale. “You have all heard of Steve Brodie, the man who made that terrible leap for life from the Brooklyn Bridge to the East River below and lived to tell about it.” It was with these words that the excitement overflowed beyond the bus walls and poured out into the street and through the front doors of Steve Brodie’s Famous Saloon. The sudden rush was not unexpected by the namesake owner who was strategically poised and waiting behind the bar. He had paid the driver to stop there. He excelled at plotting to benefit his own pocket.
Steve Brodie’s saloon was a sight to behold with three rooms having varying degrees of accessibility depending on who you were and how much was in your wallet. The floors were inlaid with silver dollars and the walls were covered in witty signs, all of which were dwarfed by the obvious main event. Hanging above the bar was a massive oil painting showing Brodie making his famous jump from the Brooklyn Bridge into the waters of the East River. Next to it hung a paper signed by a boat captain swearing that he was the one who dragged Brodie from the river after he defied death. Anyone there that day wanting to hear the story barely had to ask, Brodie was more than willing to talk, sometimes claiming the suit he had on was the very one he wore the day of his great plunge. The saloon, the money, the eyes and ears firmly fixed on him, he owed everything around him to the jump from the bridge. Some would say Brodie didn’t deserve such celebrity. Not because jumping from the Brooklyn Bridge was not an astounding feat, but because the jump may have never even happened.

Steve Brodie was born in New York City on December 25th 1861 and he had to learn to scrape by at a young age. Living in Manhattan, Brodie filled his pockets as a newsboy, bookmaker, professional racewalker, and gambler while witnessing the construction of a new architectural marvel, the Brooklyn Bridge. Completed in May of 1883 the Brooklyn Bridge, then called the East River Bridge, spanned a length of nearly 1,600 feet and on opening day 150,300 people and 1,800 horse drawn carriages crossed the new skyway.

The excitement and awe of the bridge was quickly marred by tragedy. Rumors of the bridge’s instability began to grow and on May 30th 1883 panic broke out that the bridge would collapse resulting in a stampede and the loss of twelve lives. Terrified people refused to cross the bridge until the following year when P.T. Barnum marched elephants across it both promoting his circus extravaganza while also proving that the structure was safe. However, on May 19th 1885 swimming instructor Robert Emmet Odlum decided to challenge himself rather than the bridge. He jumped off the structure as a stunt but seconds after hitting the water his lifeless body floated to the surface. The loss was a tragedy, but it planted seeds into the brain of Steven Brodie.
By the time Odlum lost his life to the East River Brodie was a twenty-three year old “well known Bowery character”, broke, and desperate for his next buck. In order to clear up a pile of gambling debt Brodie accepted a bet to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. If he survived he would walk away with $200. The prospect of survival became even sweeter when liquor store owner Moritz Herzber swore to back a saloon for Brodie if he survived the plunge. He wanted fame, he wanted money, and this seemed like the fasted route to his dreams.

Steve Brodie 
On the morning of July 22nd 1886 Brodie stood at the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge with his wife by his side. After an animated farewell he climbed onto a lumber wagon that was crossing the stretch of steel while a rowboat containing some of Brodie’s friends bobbed in the waters below. What happened next was a blur to almost everyone in view of the bridge that day. People spotted a figure on the bridge and began screaming that someone was about to commit suicide, the police were summoned, but in a matter of seconds it was over with the shape hitting the river below. There were immediate questions but what was certain was that after the sudden commotion a rowboat was moving toward a flailing man in the water. Brodie’s friends dragged him into the boat and rowed over to a pier on the Manhattan side of the bridge where they were met by a policeman who promptly arrested Brodie for attempting suicide. The arrest didn’t seem to bother him and he commented to the officer “Alright, I’ll go with you. But I guess I’ll get the $200. I can jump off the highest bridge in the world now!”
When the newspapers rolled off their presses the next day the headlines were screaming the story of Steve Brodie and his jump from the Brooklyn Bridge. Released from jail on bail, Brodie soaked up the attention and spoke to any reporter that would listen. He recounted his experience in detail and told The New York Times that he had actually been training for the feat for two years by taking practice jumps off the masts of ships and lower bridges. The broke and in debt gambler became an overnight celebrity.
Shortly after his jump Brodie opened his saloon on Bowery Street which partially served as a temple dedicated to himself but his fame extended beyond his silver dollar floor and found its way to the stage. He became an actor, appearing in vaudeville musicals including one 1894 number entitled On the Bowery that focused on him, used a set based off of his saloon, and ended with him making his famous jump. People piled into the theater seats to hear the thrilling true tale, but at the same time speculation was brewing that the story was actually a work of pure fiction.

The fact of the matter is that on the morning of July 22nd 1886 no one could claim with absolute certainty that they saw Brodie himself jump off of the bridge. True, they saw something shaped like a man plunge into the river but rumors began to swirl that the con artist had pulled his biggest con by having someone throw a dummy into the river while he was actually on land under the bridge waiting for the perfect time to swim out and have his friends in the rowboat “discover” him in the water. The only real detailed accounts of the jump came from Brodie himself and miraculously he was uninjured from a stunt that had previously killed a man who taught people to swim for a living.
Brodie never admitted that his jump was a hoax and his story made its way all over the country with traveling performances of On The Bowery. As his fame began to cool he decided to leave New York City and he migrated to Buffalo, New York where he opened another tavern and entertained the idea of jumping down Niagara Falls, a jump he would never make. He moved to San Antonio, Texas but did not enjoy his new locale for very long. On January 31st 1901 Steve Brodie died at the age of thirty-nine with sources debating the cause as either diabetes or tuberculosis.
Tumblr media
Although Brodie physically departed this earth in 1901 his story, and rumors of its validity, carried on in people’s minds and in front of their eyes. In 1930 the newspaper Brooklyn Eagle interviewed retired Sgt. Thomas Hastings, a police officer who frequently patrolled the region of Bowery Street and befriended Brodie. In the interview Hastings reveled that “One day I’d asked him in confidence if the bridge jumping had been a trick…and he said ‘No, I didn’t do it, and I never said I did.”
Despite the growing belief that Brodie was not a skilled stuntman, but a talented conman, his story continued to draw an audience. In 1933 Brodie’s story made it to the silver screen with the film The Bowery starring George Raft as the famous jumper. While a film about his rendezvous with the Brooklyn Bridge may have increased the celebrity status of the dead man it also deepened the doubt in his claim to fame. In the movie Brodie does indeed plan to throw a dummy from the bridge but after not being able to find one he decided to do it himself at the last minute. Whether it is more fact or fiction may never truly be known.

From saloon, to stage, to screen, the Brodie name continued into slang with the phrase “pulling a Brodie” coming to mean the attempt of a dangerous stunt.
Since July 22nd 1886 there have been thousands of stunt jumps attempted all over the world and few have carved their names into history within a matter of seconds like Steve Brodie. He might have jumped and lived, or he may have fooled the entire country into making him a celebrity for the rest of his life. Either way, he accomplished one of the greatest stunts in American history.
