Ok so I think at this point its basically confirmed that the theory of Hazel being a null is correct.
The idea of one-one making her to help the Apex learn a lesson and bring their numbers down is compelling. Especially since one-one...
Mr. Yeah you know what murder would solve the problem would absolutely do this. Morality (and personal agency) is not his strong suit. We don’t know how long Hazel has been with Tuba or how long its been since Lake and Jesse left the train. Its entirely possible that after Lake “tricked” him into thinking she had a number he realized he could put whatever “numbers” he wanted on any denizen.
But I have a different theory. What if One-One didn’t make Hazel.
...what if Amelia did. We know she was trying to make a car with Alrick in it so she’d have to try making people at some point. And as its been established...
She wasn’t very good at making things without turtles. What if Hazel was one of her attempts at making people. It could explain a lot. Hazel doesn’t remember her past but if she was created by the conductor (either one-one or Amelia) then she might just not have one, she could have come into existence at whatever age she is (I don’t think it was mentioned).
As for her number it could be as simple as Amelia not understanding how the number generation system works. A half-hearted attempt at figuring out how the train systems work.
Some advice for when you’re writing and find yourself stuck in the middle of a scene:
kill someone
ask this question: “What could go wrong?” and write exactly how it goes wrong
switch the POV from your current character to another - a minor character, the antagonist, anyone
stop writing whatever scene you’re struggling with and skip to the next one you want to write
write the ending
write a sex scene
use a scene prompt
use sentence starters
read someone else’s writing
Never delete. Never read what you’ve already written. Pass Go, collect your $200, and keep going.
while I’m here:
aspartame does not give you cancer
gluten is not bad for you if you’re not allergic/don’t have celiac disease
superfoods aren’t real, they’re just healthy things with maybe some nicer levels of certain vitamins
vaccines do not cause autism or really anything else and the chemicals present in them that typically scare you are in such minute amounts that they do precisely fuck-all in your body (we’re talking scales of one part per million)
you cannot do a cleanse or diet to “rid your body of toxins,” your kidneys and liver have that covered
GMO foods will not kill you; most genetic crop modification just makes our crops hardier and produce more food (and genetic modification doesn’t inject more chemicals into your food, it’s just minor altering of DNA that is made of the exact same stuff your DNA is made from)
if you feed your cat a vegan diet I will personally come to your home with the skull of a long-dead predator, point out the shape of its jaw and teeth as indicators of predatory feeding habits, and then beat you with it
Absolutely. I thought I was the only one that did this. Its not as bad if it has subtitles. Reading it seems to be easier...slightly.
Me:
Super happy that Luz learned a new spell but I am the only one a little concerned that there are other requirements for that class? Does Luz know Basic Runes? I guess she could learn on her own but I can’t see Eda teaching her that, doesn’t seem like her style.
Ok I know they were kind of jerks when we first met them but I love the blight twins. Look at Edric, he’s so shocked!
Ok Infinity Train? Obviously a masterpiece. Excellent show. Wraps everything up pretty nicely. I just have one question.
...why the flipping heck does the train have canons attached to the engine? We know the canon is used by the conductor and tulip within the train but that’s obviously not what its designed for. So what is it supposed to do and who (or what) is one-one trying to shoot at?
Reblog/favorite this post to vote for the Sex Tape fic to be written as a Wenpines fic.
Ok so Belos is definitely a human right? I mean all his “powers” are basically just fancy tech.
His staff is made of metal with a wire running through it. No idea where he got the glowy orb or what it is (aside from the obvious power source).
His petrification spell thing looks like he took it right out of a steampunk dystopian novel, complete with green lightning. Its clearly made of copper or bronze and those are flathead screws holding the statue to the base.
And the portal? Aside from being from gravity falls if you replaced the triangles with wings, that guy on top is actually welding it together. He has gas cylinders strapped to his back and the guy on the right is holding a drill. Not an magical equivalent, an actual drill you could buy at the hardware store.
Also worth noting that we never see him using spell circles. I know that a lot of other magic doesn’t seem to need them, like scrolls or the shared harm spell Lilith uses or their flash steps. But at least we see everyone else use the circles sometimes, he just doesn’t.
The interesting thing about this possibility - aside from everything (like how did he get here? Why can’t he go back without eda’s portal? Where did she get it? How long has he known about her key? What’s with the Azura books/movies being in both realms? How did he learn to harness magic like this? How old is he?) is that it raises the possibility that there’s a grain of truth to his claim of speaking to the titan. He would have had to start learning magic like Luz did right? Even Eda who is the ultimate wild witch had no idea how Luz’s magic worked or that it was possible before Luz showed up.
Unleash the light is coming to Xbox! I don’t see anyone talking about this but I am super excited to be able to play this game at long last. A bit disappointed that it doesn’t seem to be coming to PC, especially since Microsoft could easily port it over but still! No iPhone needed and no subscription!
Release date: February 19, 2021

This is about some Specific Things but honestly? Callout culture is toxic to all involved. Misinformation and rumors spread faster than the truth can hope to catch up to, and people focus on feeling like they’ve defeated someone rather than talking to that person about why their views differ from their own. I won’t lie, I’m an argumentative person, and I know it feels good to feel like you’ve put someone in their place. But just because something feels good doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.
Don’t like that ship? That’s fine, you don’t have to look at it. Drawings of eye trauma squick you out? Block that shit! And if someone isn’t tagging something you need tagged, then ask them to or just straight-up block their content.
But people are allowed to make things that you personally do not enjoy. That doesn’t make them bad people. That makes them people with different likes and dislikes.
