mod bee aka @mell0bee

they/she, aroace

been in the fandom since the pilot aired in 2016 B)

resident book 5 conspiracy theorist (one day i WILL compile all the info we have)

fav book is book 3 because i LOVE pain!!!!! i love SUFFERING!!!!!

fav character is tulip because we are the same person (ask amary. its true). grace and amelia are also both way up there. i could write an essay about how much i love both of them

if i was on the train my number would be like. 125 or smth. however within the first few days it would likely skyrocket exponentially mostly because i would want to study the train like a bug under a microscope and i would never leave 

im likely not gonna be on this blog much? but we shall see

Got kidnapped invited onto this ride by bee! Bee sent the og pilot to me and then I watched Book 1 in 2019 but i didn’t get obsessed with the show till July of 2020 after watching Book 2! 

Book 2 literally just gave me rabies and ive never been the same since <3

My fav characters are Jesse, Lake, Hazel, and Kez! I love them all but those are my top favs!

I’m a HUGE multi-shipper but you’ll mostly see me scream abt Jesslake haha (QPR, romantic, platonic, and otherwise!!)

BTW!! i have a jesslake spotify playlist! Any song suggestions for it would be amazing! :D

If i was on the train fr I would have 2512 on my hand :) im never coming off :’)

I also occasionally make art, edits, and fanfic for infinity train!! you can find it all at #amary’s tapes

few things fuck me up more than when Infinity Train fan content has all 4 books' protagonists in the same piece.

It just makes me so emotional to think about how much each and every protagonist changed so much. How mature and beautiful and unique each character arc was. Tulip's arc was different from Lake's who was different from Jesse's who was different from Grace's who was different from Simon's who was different from Min's who was different from Ryan's.

And each and every character, each and every story, was powerful in its own way. I truly and sincerely believe no book is inherently better than the other. They're all vastly different and equally important to different people. Whether it's learning to accept change or standing up for what's right and your own identity or grappling with what growth and redemption truly mean or communicating and repairing relationships with those closest to you—no matter what the story is, no matter what lesson is learned, they're all beautiful and special in their own ways. Different people can see themselves differently in each story. Each story has the potential to impact someone who needs it.

There's just something so wonderful and special about each and every book. And seeing all the protagonists, thinking on all of their stories, thinking on how the train affected them all differently, really does something to my heart.

Ponified Jesslake just because xd

[temaru]

niche biggest fear: an infinity train character gets put into a crossover rap battle with a character from a far more popular and glazed series

[temaru]

characters who would have the highest chance of surviving a rap battle from most to least likely imo

1) Tulip

2) Lake

3) Amelia

4) Grace

5) Min and Ryan let's be real

6) Simon

7) Jesse

[yardsards]

tulip olsen is one of the most characters of all time. her reflection tries to trap her in the mirror world and steal her identity and THEN proceeds to absolutely read her for filth in their FIRST CONVERSATION completely unprovoked. but tulip's just so desensitized to everything by that point in the series that she's not even MAD. this girl took one look at lake and was like "that's a poor little meow meow right there and i gotta help them" (a sentiment most of the fandom can relate to)

like she breaks the law, breaks physics, lifts them up by their feet, and outruns the cops all to save this person who she just met 10 minutes ago who did All Of That to her.

and it's not even just a "i can't let this person DIE, that would be morally messed up" kind of thing. no, she wants to be FRIENDS with them. she's apologetic about how boring the next car is. she wants them to join her and her friends on their long journey.

[rusted-fairy-wings]

i am once again sickened by the knowledge that Jesse and Lake broke the laws of the train and sent One-One into a crisis just because of how much they love and care about each other and their relationship nobody talk to me!!!

I think part of the inherent horror of the train is that it truly does not care the age of its passengers. It will literally take anyone.

We see lots of teens, of course, like Jesse and Tulip

We see young adults like Ryan and Min

But we also see the show repeatedly hammer in the fact that the train isn’t afraid to take extremely young children, children who could (and do!) spend the bulk of their formative years on the train. Which is genuinely horrific if you think about it more than 5 seconds. These kids likely have families desperately searching for them and are going to be forever altered by having some of their most critical years on the train. Book 3 perfectly shows how terribly wrong that can go.

But it doesn’t even stop there!! We see snippets that the train will take parents and the elderly too. Like I wouldn't be surprised if some of the on train deaths were old age or more "natural" causes than something like Simon's death.

I just think part of what makes the train so inherently terrifying is how little it matters how old you are, what you're doing, who you are. If the train deems you need to get it together, it'll come for you regardless.
