Hartlepool United - What Happens Next?
@Hopping_Writer
At the beginning of April, I wrote an article looking at a potential Great Escape as they had clawed their way to within touching distance of Crawley Town at the foot of the League Two table, and had to play their closest rivals at home. Since then, things haven’t worked out well for the men from Victoria Park.
The Paul Hartley Days
It has been a season of upheaval in the manager’s office at…
Hollywood comes to Central City, interviewing meta humans to try and make the powers for a super hero movie more realistic.
Barry arguing over how his powers work because everything they want to do with their speedy character is not how being a speedster works, it is wrong and bad, especially if they're just going to pretend there's no such thing as the Speed Force because then what the hell is protecting their speedster from the consequences of friction????
Cisco trolling his interviewer over how his powers work for the fun of it, when he isn't being distracted explaining how other meta powers work.
Mark Mardon wants to know if he could get a work release from prison to make the weather for the outdoor scenes more authentic. Who needs fake rain when their weather guy can make a real storm, right????
Frost keeps freezing their cameras and running away.
Leonard Snart convinces six different interviewers that he is six different types of meta. He's still not a meta.
Mick sets someone on fire. He somehow gets a date out of it because she's a stunt woman.
Lisa keeps stealing things from her interviewer and insisting it's very definitely her (non-existent) meta power and not her picking his pockets because he's a super easy mark.
Hartley keeps asking about how the studio treats it's minority workers and encouraging unionization of the non-unionized workers. They're listening.
Ralph attempts to get a job as a stunt man but can't seem to find the right person to talk to about auditioning. Teaches someone how to make balloon animals with his arm. Somehow no one realizes he's a meta despite this.
Top somehow gets cast and fired as the lead actress all in one day. Doesn't want to talk about it, just wants to ice her hand because breaking someone else's nose really hurts. No charges filed, everyone is suspicious.
Mirror Master leaves someone with a suspiciously broken nose trapped in a mirror. Team Flash unusually reticent about removing this guy from the mirror.
Eobard somehow manages to show up for an interview. Throws a fit when asked if the homoerotic undertones to his rivalry with the Flash are mutual or something he's bringing to the table alone.
Rainbow Raider offers to help actors be more authentic with their emotions. At least one actor takes him up on the offer, gives best performance of career.
Shawna takes her interviewer on a teleportation trip around Central City. Ends in a bar where they commiserate about shitty ex boyfriends.
Jitters sends Jaco to run a coffee booth for the interviews. Somehow he winds up with a bio-pic movie deal. No one knows how this happened, least of all him.
Goldface's interview devolves when his interviewer asks his second in command how long he's been in love with Keith. Though stunned, Goldface is receptive to the romantic possibilities, leaves his third in command in charge of the operation to whisk the second in command of to Coast City for the weekend. Interviewer possibly taking notes for a fanfic later on.
Amunet gets arrested for human trafficking after her interviewer turns out to be an undercover police officer that she 'spontaneously' confessed to.
Test pilot Keith Hartley conducting a “cockpit habitability” test in an open top Tornado IDS (Circa 1988). Conducted at 500 knots this particularly ballzy test was designed to check Tornado's emergency escape procedures and handling.#avgeeks #aviation #aviationdaily #RAF #ColdWar
A masterlist of muses that I have played throughout the years, that I am always willing to play. I do need to go over some of the FC's and probably make some changes since this list is YEARS old. But I will do that and update it!!
First I just wanted to say I absolutely adore your AU! It's so insanely cool, you won me over immediately with your comic about Thomas' Fireman!
Speaking of, I was wondering if you could tell us a bit more about the firemen?
I already adore Thomas' honestly aha (sorry I'm bad with names)
no worries! thank you for enoying the AU, and I’m glad you enjoyed keith’s character ^_^ I had fun writing him. I’ll tell you about some of them real quick
Keith Hardley
Age: 28
Occupation: NWR 1's fireman
He lives a monotone and uneventful day-to-day life. A great fan of Sodor’s Rumours Bulletin Board and checks it every time he finishes work. He likes reading rumours about family complaints and gossips about annoying coworkers, but he doesn’t really care about tales involving ghosts and supernatural entities because he doesn’t believe in them and think they’re outlandish. He doesn’t have any unique hobbies or skills in particular and he’s not the most active at socializing, but a lot of people like him (he is not aware of this) because of his honest and down to earth nature. He tends to be honest in his words and secretly wishes for something exciting to happen in his life, as long as it’s controllable by him.
Trivia:
"Hardley", not "Hartley". His last name is always subject to Thomas’ puns, much to his annoyance.
Doesn’t talk much and usually says yes to anything anyone says, but when one really gets to talk to him properly, they might say that his mind is full of deep thoughts.
During karaoke nights with Sidney and others, he just sits on the sofa and eats the snacks.
A social butterfly. He gets excited easily and has a pleasant, friendly aura. He always tries to include introverts in his activities and rarely lefts out anyone at outings. He loves his wife and kids, his job, the engine he drives, the people around him, literally anyone.
Trivia:
He describes Edward as “a little funny – as in “tastes funny” kind of way – but he’s a wise and nice guy”. Sometimes the older man gives advices to Sidney.
He once suggested that NWR 2 should get a car air freshener as a joke.
A cheerful and peppy woman who has a positive outlook in life. She always looks at the good side of things and believes that there’s always a way out for any problems. Though there are moments where she’s reasonable and level-headed, she sometimes has difficulty expressing her thoughts because she has a lot of things to think about. She’s also tech savvy, though she comments about losing interest in it at times.
Trivia:
She is deaf and uses hearing aid.
She thinks Percy is a kind person even though he can be snappy to others at times.
She doesn’t talk to Keith much, but she thinks he’s a smart man.
Likes: breakdancing, making websites, 90s fashion
Dislikes: people who are impatient
Sculder
Age: 31
Occupation: NWR 9's fireman
An undercover member of the FBI who was sent to Sodor to investigate strange cases of people disappearing and appearing out of nowhere. Seems to enjoy this undercover job as a fireman way too much and believes in the existence of the supernatural, causing him to sidetrack from his missions. Luckily, our two main heroes are there to do their jobs.
Trivia:
Enjoys Mully’s company.
Does he remember that he’s part of the FBI and not an actual fireman?????
Likes: rooms with air conditioning, walking along train tracks
Dislikes: peppermint
Mully
Age: 29
Occupation: NWR 10’s firewoman
An undercover member of the FBI who was sent to Sodor to investigate strange cases of people disappearing and appearing out of nowhere. She believes in hard work more than praying for a miracle to happen, but nonetheless enjoys her life as a firewoman. Luckily, our two main heroes are there to do their jobs.
Trivia:
Despite her stoic nature, she enjoys Sculder’s company.
Can be unpredictable at times.
Likes: mint chocolate chip soft serve ice cream
Dislikes: her hair being messy
besides the firemen, there’s also other minor characters that aren’t affiliated with the railways like Punchinello the Clown, Inspector Utensil, Hoffman C., Chaddeus Braddicus, and many more (that I’ll explain when the time comes)! once again, thank you for the question 👍👍
