Yes, they know that you've hurt yourself another time
Don't they know that you're full of pain already?
Yes, they know that you've hurt yourself another time
Decadence isn't easy, is it?
Then you slowly recall all your mind
Why has your soul gone cold and all hope has run dry?
Dead inside
Never enough to forget that you're one of the lonely
Slowly recall all your mind
best song from the Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 soundtrack and probably a song that suits Tuner's Ark a little too good xD. I love that's it all angsty but I guess that is just his lore.
This picture goes hard, by accident, just wanted to symbolize what one might go through when being reminded of one's past. It sucks we've all been through it and it always gets better even if there are reminders everywhere.
Been struggling with this for a long time myself, and I realized that things get better even if the world seems to be against one.
Everyone is gangster until the Schorsh ends up standing in the white room.
HEAVY LATE LORE SPOILERS AHEAD
Hans: … Enough, 314 you were caught in the act of 3 severe count of reckless driving might wanna…E-explain yourself?…Schorsh??!
Günther: reckless driving? Yeah, Schorsh that's me, or how you should call me Günther, anyway how has it been Hans?
Hans: How in Baumbergs name did your cheap streamlining-looking ass get out of the museum?
Günther: just opened the gate in front of me, sucks to be them? Anyway go on and talk about the rights and whatever I have, not the first time you guys caught me being awesome.
Hans: Awesome!?! You endangered people and then lost your engine to a Modder?!? And then leave your family in the dark about your whereabouts? Do you call that awesome?
Günther: not my fault that punk was there? I mean in the end it seemed to be useless to him? Whatever… would have never endangered people in the first place made sure the tracks were never driven on? Whatever about you guys, I don't care, I mean Dad hasn't talked to me since the 70s so he can kiss my ass and what about you? I don't care you always wanted to be the better one of us four.
Hans: because dad was sick and in a bad spot, he spent most of his life as a static piece before being brought back.
Günther: suck a coupling rod Hans, I heard about his comeback but that doesn't change that he forgot about me!
Hans: no he didn't forget about you?!? He was worried when the Museum told him you ran off, he hasn't had the chance to even contact you?!? So didn't I?!! Nor Anja or Anne before she passed on. You left us in the Dark Günther! This wasn't some sort of plot against you!
Günther: whatever, you guys seem to work fine without me, so I keep it that way because I'm not going to turn back much from that lifestyle of mine! Because I'm having fun…
Hans: Nah…Your going to end up being put into a shed where you'll be stripped of your mods and then send back to the museum!
Günther: oh yeah! You and who gonna decide that? Got a group that pays and lets me go off again? You're just wasting everyone's time Hans, yours included, strange because you always seem to be booked out when you get to shine.
Hans: Well, your group won't be able to pay this time, because there is more to your case than just being reckless, you are under ownership of a museum and they have every right to request you to come back!
Günther: Nah, I told them to leave me the fuck alone, I'm not some sort of object to just display, I'm independent Hans, so should you too, humans treated me like shit for ages and now I should go back and live a life of wasting away? Nah like said suck a coupling rod if you think that Hans.
Hans sighed, he looked down at the papers before looking at Günther again, he looked at the other streamlined engine with a stern face.
Hans: well, I get the wish for independence but you never had the real choice nor any of you modders, trust me your life style only works when it's on the back of others.
Günther: And what about that punk? You seem to be friends with them so you make an expectation for that guy but when someone you clearly don't like and never liked shows up its a different story?
Hans: Tuner is none of your concern, we try to rehabilitate him, he has an unfortunate story as an engine, he only choose modding as a way to cope with whatever he had going on.
Günther: I call it bullshit, try it, you guys will never get out his drive for independence, I also want that and so I take it, humans can also kiss my ass at this point. You should wake up Hans and see that you are nothing but a tool for them, don't sell your soul to the same boring life, one day they drop you too and then what! You waste away? Or take matters into your own hands and move on as a free user of the rails?
Hans: they won't drop me because I'm important to them, anyway I don't see a reason to continue discussing with you! Whatever happens to you happens to you…
Hans got up, he would walk to the door of the white room and leave Günther behind, somehow he felt like someone was clawing at his chest, the words of the other 18 class hurt, but he had to accept them. It felt like he was powerless against the confession of Günther wanting to continue ruining his life…
German engines have the unique trait of gaining horns in their rage form. That trait is linked to a sexual dimorphism which leads to female presenting engines having brass/gold colored horns. The size and intricacy of the horns depend on age and status. Engines in a mother position often gain a second pair of horns (see Viktoria on the right)
Another signature trait for German engines is the flame crest which appears in engines that originally only used two headlights.
The simple black dresses are worn and are of durable fabric. The coal heart often merges with it. Male engines similar to their UK counterpart often just rip off their shirts.
In this form locos also have an alluring beauty. But don’t be fooled if they assume this state you are in grave danger!
Some art of my two beans because I needed wholesome art between them. I was inspired by a line from my story because I found it adorable to think that Hans sometimes visits Nik in his Shed in Leipzig.
So I wanted to flesh out Ulrich more and kind of thought of How 61 was sweet but bitter to the core. and before Hans was made I have to imagine that the “Marriage” Ulrich and Rike had was abusive with Rike often harming Ulrich as he didn't really fight back much due to his Trauma from World War 2 and stuff.
Since Ulrich Never fought back at her, he often had to endure a lot of pain, usually, It got sorted out and he dismissed his bruises, making up things to make sure nobody would get a glimpse behind his issues.
He was also not really into Rike but married her out of peer pressure because his mother forced him, due to his other siblings at the time who all had partners
And she didn’t want Ulrich to end up alone.
Basically, he went through a lot. Due to all of this pain and trauma, he has a hard time getting angry. It kind of also makes it hard for him to find a lover.
He often still has nightmares and sleepless nights from everything. Due to that he is often very tired and needs more sleep than other trains around the shed.
He got Hans and Anja to comfort him but he also does not want to be a burden on them.
He however managed to hide it pretty well from others. He is troubled but can't show it really.
