History of Circus: from Ancient Roots to Controversial Sensation

Throughout history, the word “circus” has meant many things. Yet, from violent spectacles to ethical abuse, it was all in the name of entertainment.

Link to article: https://www.thecollector.com/history-of-circus/

Here it is! Another article I wrote for TheCollector! I’ve loved The Greatest Showman since I bought the album before the movie even came out in 2017, and I’ve started the blog TheGreatestShowstopper in 2018. Doing a deep dive on the real P.T. Barnum and the history of the circus was fascinating! I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it :)

Enjoy! :D

Fourth MLM Ship Bracket Propaganda Submissions

Below you will find all of the submitted and approved ships for the Fourth MLM Ship Bracket Tournament along with the form to submit further propaganda at the bottom

This is another opportunity to submit propaganda for your favorite ships. Wether you were unable to submit propaganda for them in the initial form or you spot your favorite ship who has no propaganda submitted. Ships with a strikethrough have propaganda submitted, I will continue to update this post as propaganda is submitted. I will accept further propaganda for ships with already submitted propaganda but please prioritize those with out.

The goal is to have propaganda for all ships but I understand that may not be possible. Therefore I will be leaving the form open for a few weeks to see if we receive propaganda for at least half the ships.

Note: Please reach out to me if you spot any mistakes in character or fandom names, even if it is only formatting or spelling issues.

La trágica vida de Isaac W. Sprague, el tristemente famoso ‘esqueleto viviente’

Isaac nació en el pueblo de East Bridgewater (Massachusetts) el 21 de mayo de 1841. Sus padres gozaron de buena salud, y también Isaac, aunque solo duró hasta que cumplió 12 años. Un día cualquiera, el joven Isaac comenzó a sufrir de calambres y, si bien solía tener un apetito voraz, nada pudo detener su incesante y rápida pérdida de peso.

Sus desconcertados padres, sin ideas para ayudarlo, consultaron a distintos médicos , pero ninguno de ellos, con los conocimientos médicos de la época, fue capaz de diagnosticar la causa de la extrema delgadez de Isaac.

Independientemente de la causa, Sprague mantuvo un apetito saludable pese a que cada vez adelgazaba más y más. Al llegar a su adultez, alcanzó un peso de 19 kilogramos y una estatura de 167 centímetros.

Junto a su padre se dedicó un tiempo a la zapatería y más tarde al oficio de tendero, durante gran parte de su juventud. Pero con esa incesante pérdida de peso, le fue complicado conservar su aliento. Cuando fallecieron sus padres en la década de 1860, el mermado joven Isaac no tenía fuerzas para trabajar y comenzó a buscar la forma de sacar partido de su extraña condición.

En 1865, el promotor de un espectáculo ambulante observó a Isaac Sprague y de inmediato le ofreció un “trabajo”. Aunque en un comienzo no lo aceptó, pronto se dio cuenta que podría vivir de su apariencia. Por lo tanto, Isaac decidió tocar las puertas del centro neurálgico del entretenimiento en ese momento: el Museo Americano Barnum (Barnum’s American Museum), cuyo propietario era el artista circense Phineas Taylor Barnum .

Barnum fue también un autor, editor, filántropo e incluso llegó a ser político, pero como él mismo lo afirmaba, su único objetivo era “tener los bolsillos llenos de dinero”.

El año en que Isaac Sprague llegó a Nueva York, las instalaciones de Barnum se habían incendiado y el empresario necesitaba desesperadamente conseguir nuevos artistas y atracciones para restablecer su negocio.

A través de un representante, Isaac Sprague se presentó ante Barnum

El codicioso hombre debió haber percibido el gran potencial de Isacc porque de inmediato le ofreció un trabajo de 80 dólares por semana (unos $1400 proyectados a 2023). Ahora el hombre delgado tenía un lugar entre los gigantes y las damas barbudas, atrayendo a curiosos emocionados por ver al “esqueleto viviente”.

Durante los tres años siguientes, Isaac Sprague continuó exhibiéndose en el Museo Americano Barnum como un espectáculo habitual. Más tarde, en 1968, el museo nuevamente se incendió, y Sprague apenas consiguió escapar con vida de las instalaciones en llamas. Barnum no quiso arriesgarse a un tercer incendio, por lo que en 1870 decidió cambiar su estrategia, llevando su espectáculo de gira bajo el nombre de el «Gran museo ambulante, casa de fieras, caravana e hipódromo de PT Barnum»

Isaac, luego de un tiempo, decidió hacer una pausa para descansar del mundo del espectáculo, momento en el que conoció y cortejó a Tamar Moore , con quien finalmente contrajo matrimonio.

Los esposos Sprague se establecieron para llevar una tranquila vida doméstica. Tuvieron tres hijos, todos completamente sanos y normales, lo que generó en Isaac un motivo para escribir tiempo después:

"La vida, que a veces parecía tan poco digna de ser preservada, ahora parece más preciosa".

Pero, con 19 kilos de peso, Isaac aún se sentía demasiado débil para conseguir un trabajo regular. Y con la necesidad de sustento para su familia, no tardó mucho para volver a recurrir a Barnum. Con el acto de exhibición ambulante, Sprague ganó mucha popularidad entre el público estadounidense, canadiense e inglés.

Si bien disfrutó de una fama duradera como “el hombre delgado” y “el esqueleto viviente”, Sprague realmente no se sintió a gusto con la vida del circo y varias veces quiso trabajar en otras actividades. Sin embargo, cada vez se iba debilitando más, sin poder superar su peso más allá de los 19 kilos. Incluso se vio obligado a llevar un frasco de leche colgando de su cuello, solo para no desmayarse y conservar su cuerpo nutrido durante todo el día.

Su situación financiera nunca prosperó debido a las deudas que continuamente contrajo por su adicción a los juegos de azar y la mala suerte. Como siempre tuvo una multitud interesada en su acto de exhibición, Isaac regresaba al circo una y otra vez solo para llegar a fin de mes.

Su exitoso acto también inspiró a varios imitadores, muchos de los cuales murieron de hambre buscando alcanzar peligrosos pesos y así garantizarse un puesto en el mundo de los espectáculos de rarezas . Pero hubo otros que, como Isaac Sprague, extrañamente tenían esta misma condición genética que les impedía ganar peso y mantener una vida saludable.

Tras someterse a múltiples exámenes médicos a lo largo de su adultez, a Isaac Sprague le fue diagnosticado en 1882 un caso de atrofia muscular severa, una enfermedad que le ocasionó desgaste o pérdida del tejido muscular.

Un año más tarde, acordó que, una vez muriera y a cambio de mil dólares, la Facultad de Medicina de Harvard debía:

"Abrir mi cuerpo y hacer un examen post-mortem para averiguar, si es posible, por qué estoy tan delgado; entonces ellos… lo colocarán en el museo de la universidad, donde permanecerá, pero lo voy a necesitar para mí por el momento: no pueden tenerlo hasta que termine con él".

Al final, el estrés de simplemente ganar apenas lo necesario para comer pasó factura. De 45 años, Isaac W. Sprague murió de asfixia y en la pobreza el miércoles 5 de enero de 1887 en Chicago, un par de días después de supuestamente apostar $250 a que lograría sobrevivir más allá del sábado. Por supuesto, perdió la apuesta.

La suerte fue cruel con él, incluso en la muerte.

Aunque no está claro si la Escuela de Medicina de Harvard estudió finalmente su cuerpo, su tumba reposa en el pueblo de Hanson, Massachusetts, cerca del lugar donde nació.

Another one crazy AU idea.

What if mphfpc was a feel-good comedy with the elements of musical? No one’s dead, everyone’s happy And the main character isn’t Jacob

Who then? Bentham brothers

[idk where's Alma in this au so feel free to add somethin to the story to fulfill her absence]

I see it so clear because you know what? It’s The Greatest Showman!

Phineas Taylor Barnum [P.T.!!!] Look at this man! He looks like both Jack and Myron imho

They’re like two sides of man actually. The one who wants SHOW and applause and to be looked upon with delight and so on And another, who wants show too but also wants to be with his family / loved ones

The Greatest Show [beginning]

How handsome he is.. i cant handle

In de beningi... ngi... nevermind. In the beginning he appears more calm but clearly enjoys the action. That's Myron's feature

That last part when the lights and music fades away but he keeps quietly singing those words…. im gonna start crying rn

I feel like Myron is lost in himself and in what he's doing but keeps going. Jack, on the other hand, is confident

The Other Side

oh look who's there! So young and yet innocent Percival Murmeow

Jack recruting Percy to quit loop life and join his emo band / circus / rebellious group etc. [underline as appropriate]

and after that they're dancing on tables. we all want to see Jack and almost drunk Percival dancing on tables and then makin the deal of their life.

"Sir, it looks like you have yourself a junior partner" "What I have is an overcompensated apprentice"

[oh shut up. I love them all sooo much]

Actually there's still some kind of rebel happening. But it's the Art rebellion. And they're singing:

Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to flyyy

Just to rewatch this masterpiece with new perception:

Percy is younger (late teens I think) but soon he’ll become taller and overgrow Jack^^

Aand we're moving on to Myron!

Once again my man is lost and distraught. I want to hug him very tight... But he isn't broken. He has so much strengh inside

From now on These eyes will not be blinded by the lights From now on What's waited 'til tomorrow starts tonight Tonight

Let this promise in me start Like an anthem in my heart From now on From now on

And he will come back home... Home, again.... *distant sobbing*

The Greatest Show [end]

Jack is basking in the light and glory

I think even in this au Jack might want to gain divine powers. Just to make his show more breathtaking, spektacular, thrilling etc.

[imagined blue-cloud-Caul singing The Greatest Show with many voices…… creepy. but also epic]

Myron is also here! Finally living his best life

the grimbear instead of elephant. Now it's Myron riding PT

aand im done with going insane with characters and songs. or maybe not... Anyway! Thanks for reading! please tell me what do you think about it. i really wanna talk about mphfpc///

P.T. Barnum: The Greatest Showman on Earth

A man whose life has become part myth, part legend, and full of hoaxes and humbug, P.T. Barnum’s legacy fascinates to this day.

It is FINALLY OUT!!! I'm so happy I got to write about P. T. Barnum for The Collector!! As some may know, I'm a huge fan of The Greatest Showman, and while the movie itself tries to follow some parts of Barnum's life, the man was so much more than that. More horrifying, more frustrating, and yet more fascinating even. The songs are iconic, though :) So anyway, I hope you like it, and enjoy! :D
