KEYCHAIN UPDATE LETS GOOOOOO

LOOK CHAT LOOK LOOK THE TEST BATCH GOT HERE !!

if you wanna pre-order one you can here !!

obvi some of the designs didnt translate to the keychains (for example lmanburg, the flag should be flipped so its on the same side as the clasp) and i have fixed the designs !! i might also the badlands ones colours turned out to dark so i changed the outline to a lighter grey :D (the new design is next to the old one for reference)

mid 19th century must have been whack, there's a high likelihood that if you met any man he likely witnessed or even participated in cannibalism

ok ill bite, whats up with the engineers au?

whats the b1 crew and the b4 crew doing in the same place at the same time? is grace around somewhere? and what are they engineering about (and is ryan okay)

Aushjdjsk ok ok yes yes yes thank you look at my little guys

Answering ur questions in order,,,,

Uhhhhh its an au thats mostly focused on ryan because. Look at me. I just like him ok.

And uh before i explain anything its important to note that the train is much different in this au than in canon. Its still the same train its just. Amelia did things differently.

Ok, so first why are tulip and ryan even anywhere near each other?

Because i squished the timeline together as much as i possibly could. This all takes place somewhere close to current day

(Also hope u dont mind,, for the art i made them cats bc it makes this so much easier)

Wheres grace??

Shes here too! And simon!

Sorry but ive removed hazel and tuba completely from this because thats just. Too much for my brain to keep up with. They never meet her. As i said. The train is different. Theres a lot more of the stewards everywhere and theyre very hostile. So simon and grace get kinda saved by ryans little group(him jesse and min),,,, they end up just going with them because ryans very insistent on joining them to find the apex. Uhhh next!

What are they engineering???

Uhm. Everything??

The train is kinda fucked so theyre doing their best to help anyone they find

Theres. So much. Uhhh theyve mostly given up on leaving too. Tulip is the first person they meet in a WHILEEE that actually wants to go home.

Ryan and mins numbers r not functioning properly, jesse lost lake and wants to find them again, and simon and grace are about the same as in the show

Anywayyyyy

Is ryan okay?

...

Are any of them...?

But uhm. No not really.

Fun little thing, none of them got on at the same time. And hes been here like. Way too long. And also hes a little shit that likes getting in the way of what amelia is doing. They dont like each other. My brain is not functioning enough for it rn bc its getting late but instead of just. Killing him or something. (Like she tries to do to tulip in the last episode of book 1) she just doesnt. She specifically keeps him alive. Idk man hes not complaining (...maybe he is just a little but its fine)

That probably made no sense but im so tired and its so hot in here good god auhekdhdkjd

Ask more questions if you want! I will empty this ask box eventually!!!

[apocalypticdemon]

Ningen by William 巴特尔 Bao

Early accounts sourced from a Japanese internet forum circa 2007- The Ningen. A gigantic man shaped whale like creature that stalks the frigid waters of the South Pole. First to be sighted in the early 2000s by Japanese whaling ships illegally hunting in the Antarctic water. For a creature so large it seems to be extremely skilled at evading human eyes. Some blurry evidence from underwater cameras hinted at its existence from time to time but researchers still lack any concrete evidence. The creature’s white beluga like skin tone suggests it evades detection by camouflaging with giant underwater icebergs, perhaps even pretends to be chunks of floating icebergs, making the search for the Ningen's illusive figure even more difficult in an already harsh environment.

Falkland Dawn C7A5793 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: She approaches the shoreline cloaked in darkness with short steps and determination. A chilly wind howls from the east, kicking up sand and filling the air with the scent of salty brine. She stands at the water’s edge peering into the darkness… anticipating. Slowly, she raises her slender head to the sky and stretches her flightless wings. She sings out in a brash melody that has echoed across the beaches of the southern hemisphere almost since the beginning of time itself. Her ancestors survived the biggest extinction events of earth’s history, surviving beyond larger, more formidable souls. As her two-tone call reaches the horizon the sky bursts into flame and the winds and ocean calm. It’s another Falkland dawn ushered in by one of life’s splendid miracles.
