If Big Hero 6 Had A Gag Reel

With 20biteen kicking off, it’s time to remember one of the original bisexual icons that made us realise we were queer growing up. Li Syaoran was peak bisexual dumbass and a blessing upon us all. Not only did he fall hard and not know what to do with Yukito, there was that glorious time where he hadn’t realised he liked Sakura and this spent at least half of the series at his peak Bisexual Panic Mode. Such features included: blushing every time he looked at either of them, listening to voice mails of Sakura, being unable to speak whenever either complimented him, and his Special Move, Run Away As Soon As Things Get Bi. And in the background Touya is mentally preparing the skin the dumbass kid who is crushing on his love and his little sister respectively, while Tomoyo encourages more havoc and laughs maniacally to herself as she films it.

Finally adding more to the sword fighter/running with scissors Marco au that I got going on. With the absolute bombshells of episodes recently, I got plenty to add the this au. *Cracks knuckles* First of all, let's just quickly brush over 'Bounce Lounge' before we get anywhere near the mess of 'All belts are off.' Now we didn't see a lot of canon Marco in the bounce lounge aside from a few brilliant moments here and there, but the whole club atmosphere made me think about SF!Marco's experience with...adult escapades, shall we say? I don't think I was the only one who noticed aged-up!Marco's suave attitude towards Hekapoo, which was a sharp difference to his awkwardness with females in his youth. It makes me think that during his travels Marco became well-versed in trawling the underworld in search of clues about Hekapoo, and thus encountered many informants. Informants who were commonly found in clubs and brothels maybe? It's not to say that Marco especially engaged in many of the illicit activities offered (until later), but he definitely grew comfortable in club scenes and sexual encounters. So instead of Marco dorkily doing some karate moves on the dance floor after prompting by Star, we get all of the bounce crew (and generally the whole club) gazing in amazement at this young teen PROWLING the dance floor. Marco just has an air of sex around him as he slides comfortably about the floor, keeping his body relaxed as he gyrates to the music; every being alike is stunned by his moves (especially Star who still can't wrap her head around this confident and self-assured Marco). Basically the money they earned for the Bounce Lounge was double of that in the show due to people texting friends about the dark-skinned God on the dance floor (every text accompanied by Marco in a tight top and jeans, the cloth sticking to his developing muscles with sweat). And then shit gets real in 'All belts are off.' Marco, the 30-odd dimension-renowned swordsman and general ass kicker, was passed over for some snot-nosed brat who he could break in a second? In this au he's not jealous or confused. He KNOWS Jeremy is basically what keeps the dojo afloat, so he can see the choice from a logical view. Doesn't mean he's not fucking PISSED. Most of the episode is spent with Marco struggling to keep his confidence as he consistently compares himself to what he once was; Jeremy wouldn't have been given a single thought if he still was strong enough. But Marco keeps his cool and trains twice as hard. However when Jeremy basically embarrasses the honour of the dojo in his little show (honestly I would've drop kicked the child away if I was there), Marco politely asks the Dojo Master dude if he would like to see a proper sparring session to see the true potential of the dodo. The man, nearly asleep with boredom at this point, agrees wholeheartedly in hope that things would get interesting. Holy shit they did. Jeremy is completely unaware of Marco's growth in skill (and physique as their loose gear hides Marco's lean muscles) and thus goes into the fight cocky and sure of his win. The crowd never forgot what an absolute hammering the little prat took at the hands of calm and confident Marco. Marco never speaks nor moves in aggression in the fight, unlike Jeremy with his trash talk and dirty tricks. Marco's used to loud mouth street 'villains' from other dimensions trying to pick on him before he became well-known. He's used to keeping a calm head and steady hands as he systematically destroys people's defences. Jeremy doesn't stand a chance. Humiliated, Jeremy challenges Marco to weaponry, thinking that the boy still hadn't touched a weapon (old Marco didn't like the thought of hurting someone that badly). Instead he gets even more soundly defeated, the wooden sword in Marco's hands moving faster than many can see, each strike hitting a deadly point with a soft tap. Needless to say the dojo gets a huge endorsement from the Dojo Master and his company, Jeremy is now terrified of Marco, and most of Exho Creek learns of Marco Diaz, strongest (sword) fighter around, through word of the mouth. Marco feels a little bit better about himself.

Okay so one thing I get really frustrated with in post-canon FMA fanfics is how Winry always gets portrayed as frustrated, or even downright hating the fact that Ed is very much a wandering soul. Disregard the fact that her last line in FMA:B is literally along the lines of "men who stay still are boring". Disregard that Winry always supported Ed and Al's decisions to travel because she knew how much they needed to get distance, and later supported it because she knew that they just wanted to see the world. Disregard Winry instantly jumping on the chance to travel whenever offered, including yearly travelling to Rush Valley and a clear enjoyment of her trip north before everything went to shit. Just know that Winry, seven months pregnant and struggling to get around, just starts shoving shit into suitcases cause there was a skirmish to the west that resulted in plenty of casualties, including amputees, and fuck if they don't need the greatest automail mechanic there to help them out. Es gets a few words of protest in before unceremoniously getting thrown into the train, Winry eagerly jumping in behind him cause she's needed elsewhere and nothing will slow her down, not even pregnancy. Down the line, family trips are common. Only they aren't trips into Central like most country folk take. No. The Elric-Rockbells are wanders at heart, and the people on the railroads know each of their faces intimately due to their yearly trips to Xing, and their constant roaming across the country offering automail and handyman services. They miss home on the road, but wouldn't give up on seeing the world for anything.

ACCIDENTAL TEAMWORK YEAH

1990 Movie!Eddie: if you so much look at me wrong I will have a nervous breakdown

2019 Movie!Eddie: if you so much look at me wrong I will curse your motherfucking lineage how dare you look at me bitch I may be short but I’m full of so much fuxking rage that I can’t do anything but fly of the handles if I’m so much as threatened

For a second I thought this was real life and got really excited and confused at the same time.

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.

Don’t mind the muscular butt. Another old doodles.
