I’m still not 100% happy with how this turned out but I can’t work on it anymore without losing my marbles so imma just post it so I can at least do one pride post this year

[dumptysdiner]

assigning infinity train characters to microbes i like. ok. there are photos too. yay #mybacteria #mymicrobes

ryan akagi

ryan is serratia marcescens because they are both red and everywhere and impossible to get rid of. if you've ever seen reddish scum growing in a shower that hasn't been cleaned for a little while... that is s. marcescens! say hi to ryan. also a reach but it can lead to ocular impairment and well... he has glasses! i was initially gonna go with rhodospirillum rubrum because i honestly think he is helical over rodshaped but s. marcescens has more ryan qualities overall . in my #onion

min-gi park

min would be a basophil. they are both blue (when stained but that's not important rn). also basophils are the rarest leukocyte and i'm going to reach and say that that aligns with min's withdrawnness. in elevated numbers their presence can indicate underlying conditions (particularly autoimmune conditions. min's self sabotage etc etc). they are involved in immune response against parasites and bacteria . and also allergic responses. just like min lashing out at what he feels threatens him. i'm forcing this and i'm proud

lake

lake is shewanella oneidensis because it is capable of extracellular electron transport onto metal (heh. metal) and it can generate electricity through this process. fun fact: this is used to make bio-batteries (they're called mudwatts!) . also s. oneidensis was isolated from a lake like. come on now. also also it just looks freaking sick like tell me this isn't lake bacteria-fied. side tangent re the electricity thing: i think jesse tries to charge his phone by plugging his charger into lake's arm. does this work. who's to say. not me

amelia hughes

amelia is agrobacterium tumefaciens because it hijacks plant genomes to produce growths on the plant that only the bacteria can use (opines) as a nutrient source. and also it causes uncontrollable plant growth . i don't think i need to spell out why this fits

jesse cosay

i think jesse is an aquatic bacterium of some sort #swimteam . i say caulobacter crescentus because it has two distinct forms throughout its life cycle; one is static and the other is dynamic (mirroring his development pre versus post train). also c. crescentus is grouped in with many pathogens but its not appreciably pathogenic itself wink wink (jesses pre-train passivity.... yerp)

tulip olsen

i say tulip is burkholderia cepacia. icl i mostly chose this because it can cause onion rot but also it doesn't know how to quit and is very resilient which i think suits her very nicely. i might rescind this if i find a more fitting one she was giving me such a hard time. sorry tupip....

grace monroe

grace is leigonella pneumophila. the mechanism of disease is to misdirect a certain protein and protect the pathogen from cellular degradation and allow it to propagate within the cell– grace manipulating and defusing the dangerous parts of her surroundings in order to survive and make a life on the train (arguably a train whose main goal is to "expel" passengers; i am likening this to a cell whose main goal is to expel any infectious organism). also the bacterium grows and propagates and i am going to extend that as a metaphor for the apex growing in numbers once grace establishes herself on the train

simon laurent

simon is the measles virus. during the early stages of infection the virus will trigger immune system amnesia, which will cause the body to lose immune memory and relearn how to fight (...). it also wreaks the most damage in childhood and is capable of undergoing a dormant state where it lies for several years until a weakened immune system may trigger it back into an active state

[sockgr3mlin]

I wonder what would happen if a wheelchair user ended up on the train. Like would all the cars become wheelchair accessible?? Would they only get sent to cars where getting through the exit is possible for them? Or would they just end up unable to “do” the train??

You are full of scars and scratches, but your friend doesn't mind. He likes to touching them, making you feel loved and safe.

[just-blei]

Short video!

Saw a clip of Robbie and Ashley and I thought it would be funny doing something with it :b

I also post it on Instagram (LINK) and on Youtube (LINK)

[clwncheck]

[undead-blei]

Drawing something based on my previous post hehe

[rusted-fairy-wings]

Yeah idc if it’s not what the episode was about infinity train kinda cooked when they titled an episode the parasite car and then it had lake standing in a field of tulips

[just-blei]

I DISCOVERED SOMETHING (well not really just something I realized recently)

So remember all about "Jesse never saw Lake cry"? WELL I WAS WRONG!

LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS TECHNICALLY THE ONLY TIME JESSE SAW LAKE CRY!!

[jesse-cosay]

I know it's an animation error, but Lake isn't wearing their bracelet in the memory, so I'm going to pretend they totally tried to give it to Jesse and it didn't make it through since the train spits out all train-obtained or train-related items.

[lake-cosay]

infinity train backrooms au. but like, IT characters getting trapped in the backrooms. idk i will elaborate more later im tired

[rusted-fairy-wings]

[phone] psychic damage every time i remember lake actually escaped the mirror world and then actually escaped the train. Odds against them in every way. The laws of their world and of the train making it seem impossible. All the ways it could’ve gone wrong.

And they still got out of that mirror, they still got off that train, they still get to live their own life off the train and away from tulip I’m gonna be sick +500000 psychic damage 😭😭😭😭

[miimo96]

Which of theses places would you rather be trapped in?

The Backrooms

The Digital circus

The Infinity train

Voting ended onJun 16

[litt1eb1rd]

Owen took one look at Red and Purple and said “what if I combined Jesse and Lake with Ryan and Min-Gi” from Infinity Train and it worked. Give him all the medals of cartoon animation NOW

Drawing Tulip again just to make her lesbian, again

I have this funny idea in a twins au scenario about Lake messing with Tulip about her crushes, even after she stopped having insterest on them. But there is always a chance that she starts having a crush on another girl again...

(if you don't know about Natalie, is from a deleted scene where Lake said they learned french while Tulip was staring at someone named Natalie Crenshaw, yeah this is not fake, that actually exists in a storyboard lol)
