Can Any Of The ROs (plus Nick) Sing/play An Instrument?

Can any of the ROs (plus Nick) sing/play an instrument?

Sally: Flute and piccolo! First chair in high school orchestra and marching band, she’ll have you know. She’s an extremely passionate flutist and will shove her bass flute up the ass of anyone who insinuates that it’s a “girly” instrument.

Grayson: Took piano lessons as a child, although he’s not the most musically inclined. He can still play Fur Elise from memory if pressured (the whole thing, not just the opening stanzas).

K: Is actually an phenomenal vocalist. Never sings in public though, so overhearing them is a rare and magical experience (Elvis was their mother’s favorite, and they sing his songs to Annie and Cass).

Glitch: Freestyle raps, because it’s poetry on fire 🔥🔥🔥

Rosy: Doesn’t play or sing personally, but enjoys listening. Probably would’ve been a talented musician had they ever been given the opportunity to learn an instrument.

Nick: Guitar, which he initially learned to pick up chicks (yeah, he was unfortunately “that dude” in high school). However, he soon started cancelling dates in order to practice riffs and brainstorm song ideas with his buddies with whom he formed a short-lasting (and very bad) thrash metal band.

Some more cute mental images feat everyone’s favorite mother and son, Inko and Izuku:

- Inko singing little Izuku to sleep

- little Izuku drawing Inko a picture and Inko putting it on their fridge

- Inko and Izuku watching All Might interviews together

- Inko listening intently when Izuku starts rambling about his favorite heroes

- Izuku face-timing/skyping Inko while he’s staying at the dorms

- Izuku tries to surprise her on Mother’s day with dinner, but it’s kind of a bit burnt

- Inko and Izuku eating ice cream together

- Inko reading little Izuku a bedtime story, it’s usually about All Might, and Izuku enthusiastically shouts TEXAS SMASH every time All Might does one in the story

- little Izuku drawing a picture of his family; Inko, All Might, and him. Inko doesn’t question why All Might is in it.

- Inko and Izuku playing in rain puddles

- Inko writing Izuku letters while he’s staying at the dorms because it’s a bit more personal than texting and she likes the doodles Izuku draws on his letters. She keeps them all in a drawer.

- Even though he’s a teenager and in high school, Inko will still kiss his bumps and bruises. Izuku is so embarrassed by this.

- Inko and Izuku watching Disney movies together

- Inko and Izuku taking polaroid photos together and making a scrapbook. All Might appears in some of them.

your smile is so familiar to me

Sun singing in Mandarin! :D

I like to imagine that Toph really likes singing, and has a really nice voice, but all of her friends only learn about her talent a surprisingly long time after the war ends.

The core of this headcannon is the idea that Poppy Beifong, largely responsible for arranging Toph's education and a fairly talented singer herself, decides from early in Toph's life to put together singing lessons together with her daughter. To Poppy, this seems like an appropriate activity for Toph that Poppy can run herself, increasing the time they spend together. Toph quickly grows to like singing on its own while also appreciating it as a chance to spend time with her mom without the pair jumping down each other's throats.

The sudden change comes when Toph joins the GAang; she immediately decides she's going to make an about face from how she lived at home, and part of that is to stop singing the very traditional, melodic songs she learned with her mother. Instead, Toph only ever, rarely when she thinks they're funny, belts out the crudest of folk songs she knows from the Earth Rumbles, always taking care to be a touch out of key.

Eventually, post war, Toph comes to terms with her various issues regarding her childhood, gender, etc, and becomes a lot more willing to sing for/with her friends. This could also be an element of Poppy and Toph's reconciliation; they start mostly being costars in the Gaoling Opera and eventually reconcile

It didn’t occur to me until I was watching a video of Jack DeSena in character as Sokka at a comic-con a while back. The voice he uses for Callum now seems more akin to his “real” voice than the one he uses for Sokka.

i was scrolling through the singing tag and i realized we don't have one for briony! so on a scale of 1-10, how good is she at singing?

Briony's probably about a low 7, she's a decent-ish singer who sometimes goes off-key, but she brings such an enthusiasm and energy to it that it's fun to listen to even if it's not super pretty! Picture someone YELLING the words to "Don't Stop Believing" or "Bohemian Rhapsody" or something in a not very impressive singing voice... the happiness is infectious even if the notes aren't very in-tune!
