Art attack on Union Pa-sapphic "Big Boy" (she/her) 4014 for Trashghost (@desktopmermaid)

[collinthenychudson]

Heading for Salt Lake City on it's westbound tour to Roseville, California, Union Pacific 4014 thunders past Henefer, Utah with AC44CW No. 6388 (Ex-Southern Pacific No. 342) as the Big Boy heads onward to Morgan for a servicing stop.

As the 4014 will be coming back through my home state on the return trip back to Cheyenne, I'll post another photo so stay tuned, and happy 4th of July!

Flying Scotsman & UP Big Boy meeting

UP Big Boy and Flying Scotsman at Green Bay on Scotsman's US Tour. It's unclear which Big Boy this is because of the awfully cropped photos and information, but it's at least something.

The cropped caption suggests it's 4017 BUT the numberplate has X401 or X407, it's a little unclear. Really wish the person who posted these had the sense to not crop it so severely.

Shout out to @onyx-and-friends who made me aware of this

Gevo: Apartment complex? I find it quite simple!

Gevo: if you step on someones foot, they open their mouth like a trash can.

Slug unit: Ugh, SD40! Gevo is spitting bullshit again.

Gevo: The faster you drive the less time you spend on the road! So less accidents! (Disclaimer, DO NOT DO THIS!)

Gevo: I'm not even procrasinating any more! I'm just straight up not working!

Gevo: think twice? Ha ha! I didn't even think once!

Gevo: Stop holding onto people just because you have a history together! EMD: .....She's my daughter!

i think its so funny when people take the way donnie acts at face value even though its a horrible lie because he's a horrible liar, while understanding leo is bullshitting very well despite him actually being GOOD at bullshitting. many such cases

Since Union Pacific 4014 will steam across my homestate twice, I wanted to draw the Big Boy in my art style. And in case if you're wondering, yes, I plan on seeing it.

Steve and Eddie get a little studio apartment in the queer section of the city, by virtue of Steve getting hired as the building’s handyman. Half the residents are drag queens and there are RULES.

They can flirt with Steve all day long. Eddie (literally) will hiss and spit like a jealous cat, all red faced and pouting, which is INCREDIBLY entertaining. While the flirting is harmless, Steve’s pleased smile about how possessive Eddie is over him can melt the most cynical old queen’s heart. (They all think a lil “you’re welcome, Steve” for getting Eddie all riled up ever night.)

However, anyone who flirts with Eddie better be prepared. Steve’s glare is cold and cutting, and the silence after is worse. And if you piss him off enough, Steve is all for revenge. Better hope your toilet does clog or your sink keeps draining. Worst case is he’ll MAKE issues for you, until you make it up to him. And the only way to do that is to go support Eddie’s underground metal band and spend your hard earned money on his merch. (Eddie thinks Steve being a stone cold jealous bitch is hot.)

I finally watched breaking bad (all within the past week or so while I worked, finished it and watched el camino last night) and I'm confident this isn't a new thought I'm expressing or anything but genuinely how DID an entire generation of dudes convince themselves Walter White was cool and admirable and intended to be sympathetic. I know ppl just lack media literacy sometimes but I'm still so confused

I don't think I've EVER watched a piece of media that so blatantly depicts a guy making the worst possible decisions at every turn and having his life ruined for it and not being redeemed or made sympathetic in any significant or lasting way. the kinds of justifications villains USUALLY give that make people consider them "morally grey" or "tragic" or whatever (everything I did was for my loved ones, I did what I had to to survive, once I was in this I couldn't get out, I just needed you to trust me so I could keep you safe, etc etc) is ALWAYS framed as complete self-serving bullshit when Walt says it, and one of the only shreds of personal growth he ever exhibits in the whole series is when he finally fucking admits that. every time he does something even remotely cool or drops a quotable one-liner, something terrible immediately happens that makes everything worse and makes him look like an unreasonable idiot asshole again. by the end of the series the ONLY characters they can still contrast as being morally "worse" than him are literally a bunch of bloodthirsty neonazis who kept a guy in a cage for several months. this show is practically SCREAMING at you the entire time not to admire Walt. why did every dude I knew in highschool have his face on tshirts and Facebook pfps.

I just don't get it. at least with The Dark Knight's Joker it was like, a feature-length movie and that's it. you spend a lot less time with the Joker and it has a lot less time to delve into his motivations, so there's way more room for flanderization and misinterpretation as people extrapolate the few cool/interesting/sad things they saw into a whole nuanced misunderstood guy in their heads and online. Walter White has 5 seasons' worth of 45min episodes to convince you beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is a miserable fucking loser who ruins everything he touches because of greed and selfishness. if you weren't watching it for that, what WERE you getting out of this. what DID you think this show was about. am I just missing some key piece of context from 2012 or whatever that would help me understand this
