What skill would you most like to secretly learn and then reveal yourself to be an expert at it

and also, who and when would you reveal it?

I would like to learn all languages and then whenever someone talks trash about me in front of me in a non-English language, I would wait until they’d done it like the 10th or 11th time and then I’d reply to them in perfect and it would be glorious.

Are you saying that people are constantly talking trash about you in other languages?

Be a really awesome singer. Keep it quiet as long as humanely possible, too long if anything, then just quietly reveal it at a party one time then never again to keep people talking about how amazing I was.

It would actually be acrobatics, but with no outward physical change so I would still be this sort of potato creature but I could do mad flips

So much this

Maybe or some kind of instrument. Like I have a bunch of friends who don’t really know that I make music, but I think my actual instrumental skill is still too scrappy to properly impress people with without repeatedly saying “the scratchy playing is really important, aesthetically speaking, you guyz”

Maybe flying?

And tbh you could unleash that at any point and it’d be cool. Just standing there on platform 4a of Cambridge station. Train is cancelled, think “fuck that” and just fly home.

Yeah I often fantasise, when i’m listening to music, that I’m out somewhere and someone’s singer/drummer hasn’t turned up and I really reluctantly say I’ll give it a go then fucking nail it so much.

Just can’t fathom that there are millions of people who can actually do that and don’t have to spend their life fantasising about it.

Trombone. “Oh Tim why do you insist on carting that trombone about when you don’t know how to play it?” “Ahhhh sit down and listen you dick”
