Ok so like (9.5 spoilers kinda?)

1. I've never understood the amount of hate Fitz gets. Like, yeah, he has flaws, but you know who else does? Literally every other character. Yes, even Keefe, who I love with my entire being. And it's completely fine to not like characters, I've just always felt like he gets a disproportionate amount of hate compared to everyone else.

2. Everyone is suddenly saying they love Alvar after Unravelled??? I understand he's "changed" now or whatever but.. he did so much to help the Neverseen and no amount of pancake-rambling from him will ever make me forget that. Sure, I hate him a little less now that he's settled down, but he's still not lovable (imo) and I thought it was really weird how much Keefe was just chilling with him in 9.5. I understand what Shannon was trying to do there but also.. it just didn't feel right to me. Especially when I see people brushing over all the stuff he did just because he's goofy now. Um.

3. PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY LOVE ALVAR MORE THAN FITZ??? I get it, you hate Fitz, but.. c'mon..

Also I'd like to clarify that in this post I'm talking about people loving Alvar and excusing his past actions, not his character in itself. I love Vespera's character, I think she's super cool and interesting, but I don't love her.

Anyway, it doesn't really matter because everyone can have their own opinion and that's the beauty of stories, and one of the best things about KOTLC is the huge range of characters, but I just thought I'd share my opinions on it. So yeah, absolutely no hate to these people, I just personally don't get it 😭

soren- in a cycle of being “abandoned ”” and abandoning that he was put into and keeps perpetuating

ivor- filled with so much bitterness bc ever since a young age he felt like the world is unfair and that there needs to be “fairness

gabriel- keeps the lies going bc he feels like he is giving people someone to look up to and feel protected by, something he didn’t have when he needed it the most during the worst time of his life.

ellegaard- wants to be respected for her own merits and “be the best” but feels that relying on help invalidates what she’s done and that she needs to not be “weak” and do it herself this big grandiose thing, and make up for the lie with said big grandiose thing.

magnus- wants to “free” more than anything and he feels the most trapped in this life he’s in now

This might be obvious, but I feel like it's often misunderstood about Jesse's character.

When confronting the Apex and running away with Lake, his number does not change. They don't get his exit right away, it doesn't appear after this dramatic moment of him standing up for himself and his friend.

"But Yellow! It's about the pacing! It's about the drama of them running away!"

Wrong!

For one, Jesse's problem isn't that he can't stand up for himself. Because he can! And he shows us this!

"It looks like your punching wasn't doing much good either."

"I was yelling! It's still my turn to yell!"

He talks back after Lake mocks his approach. He puts his foot down and defends himself.

"Pft. You would."

He antagonizes Lake after the flecs outted them as a criminal. He doesn't bend to Lake's whims like someone who's spineless.

"You better not tell mom!"

He doesn't grovel for Nate not to tell their parents. Doesn't promise to make it up to him later, doesn't try to lighten this blow at all. The way someone would if they always played both sides.

Defending himself is not his problem, not really. It's not even just people-pleasing.

"Don't tell me what to do!"

"I'm not gonna be a part of anything like this. On or off the train!"

If it was? This would have been the scene Jesse got his exit. There's enough build up for it, we don't need the chase scene before it, we could still have the flex show up after Jesse's exit closed with Lake on the other side.

But it isn't.

"I've got you. We're getting out of here."

It's only after he reassures Lake that his number changes. After he promises to stay with them, to side with them.

Jesse's issues were about standing up for others. For defending other people, even when it wasn't convenient. Not about him.

This is so funny out of context

"WE ARE JUST ROOMMATES. PLATONIC. WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU THIS FOR THE LAST 33 YEARS!"

(They were actually all the ages they were in their respective series! I guess they learned time travel lol cuz they were all teenagers/young adults.)

Last night, I had a dream where there was a fanfic where all the main characters of Infinity Train only had platonic relationships between them and I was so happy because I'm not particularly invested in any of the common Infinity Train ships. They all held hands and danced in a circle?? I think they were in a band together?? Maybe?? Ryan had his guitar, anyway. He and Min-Gi were roommates and Ryan actually shouted "WE'RE NOT DATING! WE'RE ROOMMATES!" And not like in a "we're in denial" way but in a "we legitimately are platonic friends" way. Now that I think about it, the dream was really weird.

“You would think a practitioner of the Shadow Arts would be a bit more subtle,” Lukas said pointedly as they all filed in.

“As a master of the Shadow Arts,” Ivor corrected, “There are times where it is appropriate to be subtle and times where it is not.”

“Did the old man tell you that before or after he made you scrub the floor for the hundredth time?” Lukas retorted, feeling a smirk twist his lips as his old friend scoffed.

“After,” Ivor said with great dignity.

rest assured I am still working on The Razor's Edge, i just had to work out a few kinks in the plot and ended up having to rewrite most of chapter three LMAO it'll be up soon!

not wanting to be outdone by the benders in the gang, sokka invents the flamethrower, the supersoaker, the leaf blower, and the concept of throwing rocks at people

As an alternative to 'sugar, spice, and everything nice'

I'm in an excellent mood let's make more Book 2 textpost memes

#if it WAS created by the train that means there might be an orb for reflections like there are for other denizens#and what happens if that orb gets bumped out of place?#and if it DOES exist independently from Train then that means lake was only classified as a denizen because they weren't a passenger#and it might have always existed outside of the train BECAUSE the train created it and retconned reality to make it always exist#no matter how you slice it the whole mirror world is both fascinating to think about and so incredibly messed up and thats why I love it#infinity train#infinity train mirror world

Gotta love this very messed up show

the question of if the mirror world really reflected the regular world or if it was a creation of the train is so fucked. i know lake ultimately decides it doesn't matter if their memories are false, because their life is in their own hands now. still, i was trying to decide which option is More fucked bc i knew that would be the one Owen Dennis etc would choose. but honestly they're both so dystopian and horrible i just don't know. like, option 1: oh great, everyone's existence is tied to puppeting an unwilling person who can't be saved in a world we can't reach. option 2: oh great, if you pass through the train's chrome car, you immediately create an autonomous person who remembers being puppeted their entire lives and are now still being heavily policed to support you even though they have great cause to despise you. yikes!

would zuko give the blue spirit a full pardon after the war is over or do you think he would mess with everyone and raise the bounty even higher

So I mentioned to my family that I was reading for another fandom and they were wondering which one. I chose not to tell them because I have a fondness for making people guess things instead of outright telling them . . . uh, it might also just be anxiety about words. Anyway, so I gave them a couple clues and they were guessing. And I was pretty sure they'd stumble upon the correct fandom given the clues and what they were guessing, and I knew if I hesitated before answering they'd think it was that one.

So they were guessing, and I was finding all this greatly amusing and going "nope" and then they guessed "Ben 10" and I hesitated, which made them all think I was reading Ben 10 fanfic. This was hilarious to me, because I was actually reading . . .

. . . ha, did you really think I was going to tell you what fandom it was?? Nope lol! Suffer!

Okay, so maybe this story isn't as funny to anyone else as it is to me. But I was having fun. So. Yeah. There's the story.

If I disappear from updating my fics just assume I’ve picked up a new fandom and have been reading 1 million fics of it. And probably written at least one work anonymously for it. I actually have a story that I personally find hilarious about this new fandom (new for me, it’s like two decades old lol) that I’ll reblog this post with. But not right now because I don’t feel like it.

“Get this on tape in case I die or whatever.”

Ugh, I love them so much…

Mevia redraw,,

Sometimes I think about how there’s a canonical … slang(?) in Infinity Train for <I would italicize this if I knew how>shredding people to death via train wheel

resident fandom over-thinker here! did ford hand weave those bill tapestries himself or did he have them commissioned? i literally cannot decide which one is funnier

Oh dear

Ohhhhh dear

GF/Avatar crossover where maybe there’s another portal or something, and Dipper and Mabel get taken in by Iroh while Zuko gets taken in by Stan

Iroh: helps Dipper handle his anxiety, teaches him and Mabel meditation techniques and tea, patiently indulges Mabel when she wants to put flowered braids in his hair

Stan: ABSOLUTE CHAOS, totally cool with Zuko stealing stuff, tricks him into turning himself into an attraction with his fire bending, probably teaches him some boxing techniques to become even more dangerous

I'm very sorry to say that I will be orphaning my Ao3 account and deleting my Tumblr.

HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S!!!!!

I missed mcsm so have my take on da admins

HARPVOR ENJOYERS!! I MADE A THING

I heard the song and immediately knew what I had to do

I was looking for out of context Infinity Train videos to remind myself what the characters sound like when I found one of those “name a better show than x” compilations. While Infinity Train wasn’t in it, Gravity Falls was. And y’know what else was? Minecraft Story Mode Season 2!!!! Technically a video game (not a show) but it brought me joy.

hello people of tumblr, i have brought food for the 5 xara fans out there!

Evie from my A Place To Call Home series!

If you can see her full name in the parantheses . . . no you can't. That's a spoiler for way later.

Older drawing so I'll have to redo it later, similar to Kaya, but now people can know what she looks like!

i forgot that the journal confirmed that this deleted scene is still canon
