I love how infinity train uses glasses, and that Ryan is the one who wears glasses in book four.
Like there's the basic stereotype of smart character who wears glasses, and studious people having glasses almost as an accessory. At least when used in character design.
There must be a reason the character has glasses. Whether for plot, a motive, or to help us grasp who they are based on stereotypes.
And Tulip! Fits those stereotypes! Her frames or thin and large- and neither of her parents need glasses, so I think it's safe to say it's used mostly for the stereotype and also to give her parents something to fight over.
(I don't find anything wrong with leaning into this stereotype here because it does work- and it's not necessarily negative. But it's possible that's just because I felt very seen when I watched Tulip's parents argue about glasses during the flashback scene.)
And in book four- Min suits the stereotypes of glasses-characters. He's studious, down to earth, smart- giving him glasses would have made sense to express those key associations. But they didn't! They took the time to turn the trope on it's head, to give the silly-goofy character glasses!
And Ryan's glasses do still say something about him! They're bulky and brightly colored! It's something for him to fidget with, and his glasses never once feel out of place on his character!
I dunno where I was going with it but, I just really appreciate the thought they put into these character designs, and knowing when and where to use character design tropes and when to break them.
Need to add to this immediately, because Ryan's glasses are being used to say something about him and it is that he does not fit expectations.
Nerdy characters wear glasses, they follow rules, they're the teachers pet.
Just like we expect that characters with glasses will be a certain way, people have expectations of Ryan and he doesn't meet them.
He doesn't go to college, he isn't having a great time when he's away from Min, people think he's always happy and doesn't take things seriously and that has never been true at all. Just like the glasses are meant to be a subversion of expectation, so is his character.
Another iconic flag, I’m just so used to throwing it on Jesse that I forgot Lake could do whatever the fuck they want to
can someone recommend some beginner normal behaviors for someone looking to become normal
Needed to make sure everyone saw my favourite reply from the notes:
Agender flag colors! This one was less obvious but also…. I love the agender flag colors, makes this ominous as hell.
Any flag with blue, gray, or purple is basically meant for Lake; it’s fun how diversifiable they are just with lighting in mind
Eli found an old hate post and nothing inspires me more than pettiness so I’ve drawn Lake in trans colors, I’ll post my other two later!
If anyone’s got a request for a specific flag I might be able to make more? Otherwise it’s just nonbinary, trans, and agender!
Made something for the assigned Simon birthday! If there’s an error don’t tell me bc I’ll cry
Okay I was thinking about them and realized something interesting 🧐
Between the two of them Jesse is the one who unprompted and more directly expresses how he feels about Lake! Mainly through words of affirmation and touch. And it’s thanks to these actions that Lake is so sure when they say “he didn’t want to leave me” “we’re friends and that’s real!”
Like they believe this wholeheartedly and it’s very sweet that we the viewers get to see this moments where Jesse is also a source of comfort for Lake. For example in episode nine Lake is in the number car and says “you and Jesse are gonna laugh about this, this will be funny”
But here’s the thing, Jesse isn’t around in any of those moments. So my theory is he might not know truly how much he means to Lake.
Because even tho there’s moments where Lake shows they care about him, like comforting him in the lucky cat car when he’s sad about Nate, when they get separated and Lake looks absolutely crushed that he’s leaving or when he gets thrown into the TV and Lake yells his name all worried and also obviously this scene where they hug!!!
This is the moment where they express the most to him that he means a lot to them. But most of the time it’s through body language but very few words.
Remember how in the lucky cat car Jesse looks at Grace and says “I don’t think that was a real bow I think that was a sarcastic bow!”
Like guys why does he have the need to clarify that??? I think he struggles with body language
And another thing! If we really think about it Lake only expresses they care when it’s promoted, pushed to the limit or when they’re in a dangerous situation.
Which isn’t very healthy and I think would be an interesting thing to explore in post canon ideas or aus bc I think people obviously catch on Jesse’s internal flaws bc they’re a lot more explicit but I think Lake’s struggle with vulnerability it’s worth noting!
If you compare their vulnerability even from episode 8 book 1! To the end of book 2! When Lake says “I guess I changed too” 😭 maybe it’s bc they learned to rely on others a little and open up.
The character they feel the most comfortable opening up to is Alan Dracula bc it literally takes them less than a day to trauma dump to this deer lol. And it’s important bc they do consider Alan their friend.
So yea idk I have a lot of thoughts about this idk if I’m making sense but oughhhh
Jesslake Hanahaki au
In this au Lake spits out tulips bc cmon what else could best represent being forced to do something Lake doesn’t want?
The disease is yet another thing that is here to take control over their life just bc What? They don’t wanna tell their crush about their feelings? Is that a crime now?, telling Jesse should be their choice but the hanahaki disease very implicitly tells them they don’t get to make that choice.
For better or worse Lake’s got a reputation with stubbornness.
robot whumpee getting Ship of Theseus'd. this isn't their body anymore. the slow removal of what was into what is, the tedious reconstruction of their body and mind until the unit they see in the mirror, with different eyes, a different face, different hands, different name, has to reconcile their memory with their impermanence. nothing is the same. is it a curse?
Infinity Train theoretical Book & OCs! (long ass post)
INFINITY TRAIN BOOK ???: OVERT ATTACHMENT
A few days late, but I drew them for th,,, the anniversary,, posting today since it's the iconic Lake Killed A Cop On Screen Day 💛
I miss them every day and I WILL be getting them back eventually
I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.
There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.
When one person can give £70,000 to a hate group's legal funds, maybe it's time to bin the Dobby plushies.
Here's your periodic reminder of why it's so important not to buy any Harry Potter merch or watch anything JKR profits from.
It isn't about cancelling problematic media, idgaf. We're capable of reading books we already own with a critical eye.
It's about not giving more power to someone who is using it to materially harm our community.
And yes that includes that shitty video game, yes that includes the Lego sets, yes it includes visiting the theme park. Stop giving Transphobia Georg money.
Everyone pls enjoy the blorbos bc today is their special day!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MY FAVORITE SEASON AND SHIP OF ALL TIME!! 5 YEARS SINCE I WATCHED BOOK 2 and I let these two take over my brain💛💙🖤🤍
I couldn’t finish a solid rendered piece this year but I decided to dump my doodles on you! Most of these are stuff I managed to do on when I was scratching the walls for some dopamine on 2024
Hope you can enjoy 😊 have a wonderful book 2 anniversary 🚂 ♾️ and a very cool 2025
infinity train fans are you still there
