Speed Racer Theme
Here he comes! Here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels!
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone
He's gainin' on you so you better look alive
He's busy revin' up a powerful Mach 5!
And when the odds are against him and there's
Dangerous work to do
You bet your life speed racer
Will see it though.
Go Speed Racer!

He's jammin' down the pedal like he's never coming back
Adventure's waitin' just ahead!
Go Speed Racer!
Go Speed Racer!
Go Speed Racer gooooo!

@oromagi
Oh the anime lol
Also what an abrupt profile picture change
-->
@Speedrace
Every Fri nite/Sat morning- it is the SupaDudz Memorial Profile Pic Pick o' the Week, a sort of game or art project in which I alone have ever expressed any interest and for which I maintain a sort of irrational pride in remembering to update as often as I do.
I might note that the Supadudz Memorial Profile Pic Pick o' the Week can be found in the PERSONAL forum, where it is bothering nobody. This week's theme is part of our PRIDE MONTH celebraton: I FEEL LOVE, I FEEL LOVE, I FEEL LOVE, I FE

@oromagi
Lol ok, how do I participate in that?
-->
@oromagi
You were not the only one to care about that.
You're just the only one to not accept that it's over.

@RationalMadman
*cry*
I will review these tomorrow and update everyone on the maxi-challenge once I have determined a mini-challenger winner.
-->
@bsh1
You sent that at 1 AM, so tomorrow tomorrow or today tomorrow?
Probably a time difference lol
== Mini Result ==
I will now announce the Mini-Challenge winner! Congratulations to KM! You have earned an extra 24 hours to create and submit your Talent Show entry! Also, the guest judge for this round will be Ragnar!
== Maxi-Challenge ==
For the Talent Show portion of this round, you will each have three (or four for KM) days from the time stamp of this post to put together a talent entry. Your entry can be composed of any talent you want, whether it be singing, storytelling, dancing, painting, or nunchuck-wielding. And yes, even rapping. You can also choose to record your entry in one of three media--video, text, or image (including gifs and collages). But whichever medium you choose, the final product must be accessible to myself, the guest judge, and the other competitors. Your entry can be no more than 5 minutes; 4,000 words (not characters); or 15 images long, depending on the medium of your entry. You may not work with anyone else to complete your entry, nor may your entry violate the COC. Please post your entry to this thread, either in its entirety or as an accessible link, by the deadline. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Let the Talent Show begin, and good luck!

What if you’re not talented at all? :’(

@Speedrace
Everyone has something they're talented at.

@K_Michael
congratulations, K_Mike!

@bsh1
I have talents, but none of them are “show” talents, like I have a really good memory, but I can’t sing, etc
It’s ok though, I think I have an idea of something I can do...

@K_Michael
Congrats dude! I wasn't surprised
Entry: Rap/Poem
Beat (not mine but right-click and click Loop for best experience while reading): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9RLEFlqf_0
There is internal rhyming but I decided to not bold it, because it lets you create your own flow to it at points where there's 2-3 ways to flow it.
Everyone in the world, whether a boy or a girl or something in between, a gender yet to unfurl, is full of thoughts and opinions that could go from a sand grain to a pearl,
But if they sit all day talking to no one about it, afraid of the system twisting the truth and peer pressure to shut up and doubt it,
Then of course over time that grain gets quashed, washed away like an abortion non-botched,
So they search forums for a place to discuss shit with some decorum but either it’s full of troll like 4Chan or forcing you to conform to their norm is the chosen breed of problem.
So what in the hell is this website for? Got opinions to sell? Come and have your floor,
This is a place in which debating isn’t taken as a chore,
It’s a haven for the hated views you couldn’t say before,
You express and confess shit and justify it; leave the audience in awe,
Or you realise that you’re wrong with King Kong sized rebuttal that attacks your case at core; leaving it more than just sore,
And honestly that’s what the art is; it’s about remaining impartial,
Despite fighting for a side, in a war you gotta have objectivity; this art is martial,
Your heart can be in the right place but if you don’t wanna lose the conduct mark, then part and parcel of being the greatest is dealing with haters that’ll carve you up for dinner and laugh upon your craft as it goes from top of the planet in a rock to the bottom of Mars, fool,
Coward noobsnipers will bite at your ankles, leave scars ‘n’ you’ll wanna get barbarous, but the real marvel is if you can keep up the debating with haters that really are cruel and not let ‘em get you down, so what if they you’re an idiot? You’re gonna become the Star Fool!
Life isn’t easy, and DART’s no walk in the park, soon after you’re sure you’ll stay at the top, you’re gonna flop and others’ll take you down, this aint a carpool,
You want the top? You can’t stop until you get it,
Don’t sit there happy with your 20-1 record, push farther, rip your competitors apart or they’ll overtake you later and make your Rating blatantly seem like a cartoon,
It aint ‘bout baiting a low-rating kid many times that’s just the foundation, you gotta at some point take out a shark with a harpoon!
It’s simply fate that competition was the theme at the beginning,
‘Cause honestly it seems like very few here were really born for winning,
You’re the type to get thrown in water and flail about drowning while I’m swimming,
So the envious Ramshutu’s go do the very noobsniping they accuse me of, and feign being on a mission,
“Oh I only took ‘em to ensure that RM didn’t,”
Hypocrite at least Oromagi admitted that he was going for more than a Rating pittance,
You were climbing grimey, gloating like a slimeball voting against the GOAT, you rodent,
Y’all calling me ‘ratman’ yeah come chase me pussies, I’m fucking omnipotent,
So you can run around telling tales, but I aint Loki, I’m Odin,
So your whack farces’d better subside as you realise what you think’s hidden to me’s out in the open,
As I said, these waters have sharks, not just minnows, so don’t think that you’ll stay floating,
I’mma rise like surprise motherfuckers, I’m the first to post my talent, worst to have as an opponent.
'Pussies' was a reference to cats chasing rats and linked also to me just calling them the real rodents. It doesn't violate CoC because the direct interpretation is not truly offensive.
Go me!

@bsh1
Is Oromagi posting past the deadline going to be taken into account?

@bsh1
Where is Virtuoso's entry? Does he score 0?

@bsh1
Note: the first poem was written (excepting some edits) before the contest started, and if that's against the rules, please disregard it. I do, however argue that it is a talent show, and past triumphs still showcase my poetry skills. It took me a couple hours to write the first one, so it isn't like I'm cramming weeks of work in for a three (or four, in my case) day challenge. That being said, enjoy, and I respect your judgment.
Night's Beauty
The gossamer threads of twilight fading
Torn away by darkness raiding
I grasp tight to nearly nothing
Day slips away, softly rebuffing.
Stars glitter to catch my gaze
Night has not yet ceased to faze.
Moon comes out to say hello
Sun's absence seems to bellow
I recover, wond'ring, from the shock
Of a new ebon beauty, a gentle knock.
Wholly transformed, the earth and sky
Shrouded, but newly lit, Night passes by.
Day's Glory
Drab light, hesitant gray
Comes to mark the nearing day
And though the predawn herald's dressed in dun,
Radiant and gold is his Master Sun.
Carve a path across the sky
Every cycle be born and die.
Watch once more the dawn awaken.
Yet again my breath is taken.
Honey rays make the sky blue
Cutout clouds in contrast too.
Brilliant death of many colors
A promise of return to all earth-dwellers.

@RationalMadman
There are no scores at this stage, everything is holistic. Virt could still submit his mini-challenge entry, but the judges would have to consider its extreme lateness. However, the maxi-challenge carries the greatest weight, and there is still ample opportunity for him to submit that.
-->
@bsh1
Oromagi posted past the deadline, you said the timestamp is what matters. He was past it.
-->
@bsh1
"in a rock" was meant to be in a rocket (literally in it meaning you're destroyed)
"so what if they say you're an idiot" instead of "so what if they you're an idiot"
I did double check it but that slipped my eyes.
-->
@bsh1
Sorry I have been busy and couldn't really get this in on time. That being said, I'd be happy to have a 0 point this round or I could submit something really quick.
