For a second I thought this was real life and got really excited and confused at the same time.
when you hate someone but they’re still really cute
Having finally finished Book 2/3 of Infinity Train, now more than ever can I appreciate the journey Tulip took through the train in order to get her exit.
Tulip’s lessons were all about accepting change, good or bad, and forging your own path in the wake of these changes. An extensive lesson of “rolling with the punches” and doing your best to make something out of yourself from it. That’s why it’s so fascinatingly ironic that Tulip’s journey to accepting change created the biggest changes in the Infinity Train universe.
Whilst Tulip is only occasionally referenced in the next 2 books, her presence and actions are distinctly felt — beyond even Lake and their identity/journey. Without her, 1-1 would’ve never returned to being the true conductor, Amelia would’ve never stepped into the path of redemption, and the easy-to-follow guide of the train would’ve never been reintroduced.
It definitely could be argued that Jesse had a significantly easier time of the train than Tulip, having known what it was about from the beginning with 1-1’s video. Tulip had no clue about the train or her number, but somehow managed to set right dozens of wrongs.
By sorting Amelia’s whole situation out, there would’ve never been anyone to help Grace take that last step in recognising her belief in ‘the conductor’ was wrong, and allow her to complete her own redemption arc. Apex would’ve likely fallen apart sooner or later with the conflict between Simon and Grace around Hazel, but no one would’ve been there to make that push for Grace to question everything and fight to set it right.
Even without physically being there, Tulip’s actions to accept change in her life allowed her to fundamentally change others. The train allows people to change their lives for the better, but Tulip shows that becoming a better person can extend to helping others.
TLDR: Infinity Train is a fuxking sick story and I love it.
Ever since the infamous pizza picture of Tadashi surfaced, i.e, this beauty—
I have a headcanon that Tadashi is naturally a protective and messy eater. Like, he eats like an airplane, arms on the table, almost circling his plate and protects his food. It’s a subconscious thing he’s done since he was younger, because Hiro always picked food off of Tadashi’s plate. Now, it’s more of a habitual thing that he does, though Hiro occasionally tries to pick food from Tadashi.
Thus, the messy eating comes into play. He eats fast. Like, exceedingly, with small breaks in between his munches. The faster he ate, the less Hiro could take from him. He likes to eat with his hands, something that Cass finds funny, especially when it comes down to food that you use eating utensils for. Because if it were up to Tadashi, he’d use his hands to eat anything and everything.
Me: I hate it when bisexuals are represented in the media as nothing but whores because it’s supremely biphobic and only adds to our debasement of being cheaters and unable to remain interested in one person. It’s terrible and needs to stop!
*enter Tim Stoker, absolute chaotic good funny man and the Archive’s resident whore, fucking filing clerks and probably police officers to grab important documents and commit crimes*
Me: you know what I’m actually fine with this
While we can agree the Voltron fandom is currently a crash site of vicious disagreements and ship wars, one thing that has risen above the ranks is the sheer amount of ao3 author support. A lot of people are frustrated with the newest season, particularly if (like me) you’re a member of the LGBT+ community who has come face-to-face with the “Bury your gays” trope yet again, or even if you’re someone who has issues with how the plot or characterisation has been done. Everyone’s frustrations are valid because everyone has their own opinion (and I’ll slip in here that while these emotions are yours to express please don’t abuse the creators of Voltron, they deserve respect like any human), but I am LIVING for the sheer amount of genius fix-it fics that have been boosted on this website. While discourse will continue, please be respectful of the fic writers who put their effort into improving the plot how they see fit, and enjoy the works that they lovingly give to the fandom. A lot of reblogs of fics are appearing in the tags so keep up the support for our fandom in these tough times and channel your shipping frustrations into supporting your favourite authors!! Stay positive through these dark times and respect one another!!
Cute male workmate my age who I'm still getting to know: Haha, so when you going to start liking guys? Lol. I'm so funny.
Me: When they become more mature and not so awkward around me. For now, I think I'd prefer to date a female. We're much prettier and WAY more brilliant.
Workmate: Wait, are you gay?
Me: No. I'm pretty sure I like both girls AND guys. Is there a problem?
Workmate: ...Are you saying that you can date both guys and girls?
Me: If I want to, yeah.
Workmate: AW FUCK YEAH! GO YOU FOR GETTING TWICE THE PEOPLE I COULD EVER GET!
Forget about the tangled web of love that stretches between the M9 (barring Caduceus our aroace king of staying out of drama), I would love if the love triangle between Fjord, Jester and Caleb just somehow naturally fell into a little triad all on its own.
Like no dramatic love confessions, they do that shit constantly with each other in secret little ways, but just Jester coming home to her mother like
Jester: mama I want to introduce my partners to you
The Ruby: ah yes that handsome orc boy that you kept going on about, he was so--
The Ruby: wait, partners???
Jester: lmao yeah I have Fjord, who rejected an eldritch monster he was accidentally raising to get close with Mother Nature herself, but that hobo wizard who eventually cleaned himself up and became one of the most powerful casters around is also my bf.
The Ruby, the actual sex god on this plane of existence and all others: hell yeah my daughter deserves the best, get ‘em my baby girl.
The dynamics of it are so funny as well. Like, Caleb is a highly respected wizard now under the tutelage of several powerful figures, so any time he goes to some sort of elbow-rubbing-fancy-pancy wizard event he of course brings his beaus.
And people are like??? “Ah yes, members of the iconic and world-saving group you are part of Mr Widogast, they must be of such high pedigree.”
And then someone recognises Fjord as Captain Tusktooth who had some sort of fake accent going on for years at a time (and didn’t he sleep with that Captain lady who was horny for water or something??? And then get her killed by the pirate king? There was something about a forbidden eldritch god?) and is praying that Mr Widogast’s other partner is normal--
but the first thing that Jester tells anyone is: “have y’all heard about my mother, best lay in the land? I am the daughter of the greastest sexer around and my childhood imaginary friend is my personal god, anyway how are you?”
Even better, out of the three, the tiny blue tiefling is the only one who can pick up and hoist their partners around, making the comical sight of long-cat and long-suffering Caleb being slung bonelessly over one shoulder, while a blushing Fjord is held like a football under the other as Jester parades them down the street in her cute frilly dresses.
Fucking FjordxJesterxCaleb is where the good shit is at wake up sheeple
We’re all used to the eccentricities of each character, and the techniques the boys use to stay calm and focused during their games, but from an outside perspective Nishiura high school baseball team is absolutely fucking bizarre.
*Nishiura calls time*
Opponent team: oh they must be making a game plan, alright
*Abe goes out to stand in the middle of the field and hold hands with Mihashi while staring intently into his eyes*
Opponent team: what the fuck is going on???
*Abe calls Mihashi his pitcher, promises to take care of him for the next 3 years, swears that they’ll win for his sake, Mihashi is crying incoherently*
Opponent team: they know we’re in the middle of a game, right? do we need to get them a room or something....?
Opponent team: how are these freshmen staying so calm in such a serious game??? what’s their trick???
*Looks across to Nishiura’s dugout where Mizutani is screaming while Izumi and Mihashi tickle him*
Opponent team: ?????? do we need to call somebody?? is he okay?
*Tajima makes an impossible shot and gets several runs*
Opponent team: how cool is that prodigy?? he must be a genius
Tajima, immediately after finishing the game, shirt off, dick out: rice is a type of protein right??
Hanai: jesus christ how have you survived for this long
tl;dr:
Big hot shot team pre-game: This game will be pathetically easy -- they’re just a bunch of freshies!! Practically toddlers!
*Nishiura during the game* Reads the pitchers’ movements, memorises each batters preferences, goes full-on klepto with bases. Wins.
Hot shot team: What in tarnation....
*Nishiura after the game* has players falling asleep on public bunches like a bunch of hobos, some of them half-naked, Abe yelling incoherently over the mess
Hot shot team: ....we lost to this?
Khun: i don’t need friends everyone betrays you
*Rachel appears and Bam ignores everything to focus on her*
Khun: ..... >:( .......well that won’t do
*sits on Bam’s lap* *lays down on Bam’s lap* *literally fucking crowns him* *does everything he can to protect him* *tells him he wants to climb the tower with him even tho last episode he literally had a mental breakdown over trusting anyone ever*
Rak, standing by and watching all this unfold and pissed off since the boys are more focused on seducing each other than winning this fucking test: ....are you sure you don’t want a boyfriend?
BIG HERO 6!
SO today I went into the bathroom at school and there was writing scrawled all over the wall there. It read Croatoan. Lucifer is coming...again.
Supernatural fandom is already getting ready for the best scenario.
