Okay, hold my marbles, the Tay headconnons, YOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Finally. FINALLY some good tea! I love that the agenda of Tay is more then he seems gets more followers\^.^/
Your hc's are so amazing, oh my gosh!!! :D
And after your nice invitation, I couldn't not rant about more XD
I mean, at first I was also absorbed with Tay's fashion and beauty (look at that man, he is GORGEOUS!) But exactly like you said, just beauty doesn't last in a world where everything is build to tear the lovely picture apart that covers your marks. If you only have the looks, you will also have the bottom place in the foodchain. But Tay... he is so much more. Because he survived, he is friends with Kinn and if not Kinn (pre Porsche, so still kinda asshole towards humans) then definetly Korn would've prevented Kinn from getting friends with persons way under his league. He has something and I think that is the brain.
To humbly add to your glorious pile of genius ideas and hc's, I think, I speculate, that sometimes Tay can tend to be a little paranoid. I mean, he is constantly looking out for himself, studies other people, he is aware about how he looks. That he looks like someone who can get taken out easily. So he knows he has to do everything to prevent that. The downside is, exhaustion, restlessness, anxiety and clinging on to the few "safe" things he has like Time, no matter the cheating, or his new found connection with Porsche. But it also has a few good sides.
For example, I think his situational awareness is at least at the same level as one of the bodyguards. He knows how to look for hidden dangers and sudden movements. Like you said, he reads people. He gets it. This goes for his daily life as well as his role within his friends.
Because in a dangerous situation, in an auction or deal that went south, he knows that nobody would try to go after Kinn as a hostage. They would kill him for a coin but taking him would be too dangerous, after all, nobody flipps off a Theerapanyakun in the face and lives to tell the tale. So instead, they would aim for Tay.
I think, Tay is indeed very aware of his surroundings. He knows how to look out for potential danger, how to look for escape routes or cover. But he is also aware of the persons around them.
He connects easily with Porsche and Chay in their home, he is used to talking with people. In a room full of people with power, a powder keg, that only needs a spark to ignite, I think Tay would be the one with a sweet smile. He knows how to talk with people and how to make them think their doing is their own idea. He is the one for whom people pull out chairs and offer a seat or a drink. And he knows how to react, how to dance on the tightrope of being friendly, innocent, a beauty in between the weapons and a pleasant company without promising them more (They want more, he knows they do and that everyone tries to but he has no intention on taking things in this way. All he does is creating a fantasy, a little part of peace that they want to have, that they want to watch and protect.)
He offers a sweet smile, a pleasant conversation and when the bullets start flying it gives him a meat shield of some guy who fell for his act and went to protect the damsel in distress.
Even if all of his doings just earns him a single second more, a second more is 3 new plans on how to get out of the situation with Tays dangerous mind.
Hey, lovely Anon! I’m so sorry that it took me so long to answer – I just needed a little moment away from Tumblr. <3
Thank you so much for the all the nice things you had to say about my headcanons – and thank you for your very interesting and inspiring thoughts on that matter! *_*
I love that you mentioned Korn, because yes, I also believe that he wouldn’t be very fond of Kinn having friends under his league. But I think that’s because he sees friendship more from the business side of things (surprise, surprise). Tay’s father is very influential and so is Time’s (as we learn from the conversation in episode 2). It would be incredibly stupid to not keep the connections to those families tight and personal. And what better way to do just that than to keep their children around?
That said, I don’t think Korn likes Tay very much. Or at least he wouldn’t if he ever saw Tay for what he really is. How effortless he can push Kinn in the direction he chooses. Because yes, like you said, Tay has a brain, but he also has a heart, and he knows how to use both of them (on Kinn). Just think about the hospital scenes in episode 7. Korn holds this whole metaphoric speech about apples and dull knives to get Kinn back in line. And what happens? Along comes Tay, takes one look at Kinn, drops a few words of easy wisdom…and all of Korn’s eloquent efforts are for naught. Ohhh, Tay is dangerous indeed. And wouldn’t that be another fun fanfic topic - Korn seeing the true danger of Tay for the first time? And being forced to...do something about that? Or at least consider doing something about it? Weighing Tay's influence on Kinn against the influence of Tay's family? 👀
And Tay being slightly paranoid, the restlessness of it, his situational awareness, clinging on to safe things – yes, yes, YES to all of that! 😍 It’s so juicy, I love it. Thank you for dropping all of that into my asks, very much appreciated!!!!! 🙏🏻
Also: you 🤝🏻@haahka🤝🏻@mortimerlatrice (#make him a monster (one who still knows how to love without being thought) - that tag?!?!!?!?) – making me want to write a dark arch for Tay so badly ahhhhhhh!!! 😫🙌🏻
Because: “All he does is creating a fantasy, a little part of peace that they want to have, they want to watch and protect. (…) He offers a sweet smile, a pleasant conversation and when the bullets start flying it gives him a meat shield of some guy who fell for his act and went to protect the damsel in distress.”
ANON, OH MY GOD!!! 🤯
But despite all of this, despite the strong survival instinct and the manipulation, I do believe that Tay truly DOES care for people and that his warmth and compassion are genuine. And that makes the thought of Tay using another person as a meat shield even juicier, oh my God. Because right then, he doesn’t feel, he doesn’t think. He’s just acting. Reacting. Pure animal instinct. Getting out of the situation alive is all that matters. And he does. But sooner or later, he comes back to himself, slowly turns back into a human being and for the first time, he sees what he has done. Notices the sticky blood splattered across his arms and chest and face. Notices the corpse at his feet. The corpse of the man that jumped in front of him. “Better him than me,” he thinks, in the dissipating haze of adrenalin, just to recoil from himself in disgust a moment later. And then, the realisation truly sets in. Panic rising, rising, rising in his chest until his feet are moving on their own volition. Until he’s running just to get away, ignoring the calls of his name echoing behind him, drowned out by the voices calling him "Monster" in his own head. And maybe he runs to another monster, then. Finds himself at the door of a man that seems to glory in that title. And he knocks.
Oh. I might. I might just got an idea for a fic. 👀
(Look away @tumsa, Tay is still our sunshine boy who deserves the world and only happiness, and I still owe you an overdue message, I'm sorry! 🙈💕)
Anyways. Anon, thank you so much and I hope you see this! 😍🙏🏻

You have any good videos of coupling rods in motion? They're for.... Ummm... Research purposes? Yeah, research purposes and definitely because they make my brain do the happy chemical as a train autistic myself
alright.
ok so (yt links ahead)
the one valve gear that scratches my brain really good is walschaerts
(221) Walschaerts Valve Gear - Test Animation - YouTube
another great valve gear??? stephensons
(221) Stephenson Valve Gear - Test Animation - YouTube
(like holy shit look at the mechanical stuff going on here)
it was mostly inside frame of old british locomotives (image is an inside frame version) :)
third???
(221) Attempt to do a 3D model of a Gresley valve gear - YouTube
have you actually ever seen the fucking mechanical genius that is the gresley valve gear?
and fun fact! this valve gear was not only used on gresley locomotives, it was also used on the UP 9000 class
i would put more here, like baker and the young valve gear
but you gotta search that yourself "definitely also not autistic about trains" :3

What jobs did your ocs have before they got turned?
💼 What Jobs did my OCs have before they turned?
I’m assuming this is for my Other People OCs, and if not, please feel free to correct me! :]
Amp- Was never employed! He sort of left the house after he graduated high school and took up cross-country motorcycle riding!
Geoff- Ex Gas station employee! He hated it and, frankly, was glad to leave. Before that Geoff dabbled in car repair shops and a general store but the constant flow of customers pissed him off.
JWD- While ‘Town Drunk’ isn’t a job, he did it very professionally! People sort of knew him as ‘that drunk guy who can fix up your car, AC, stove, electric whatever for a warm beer and a pat on the back.’ Luckily Jackwagon was very content with a warm beer and a pat on the back.
Tiffany- Ex COO (Chief Operations Officer) of a packaging company specialising in over seas shipping! They… were not happy and don’t talk about it nowadays. Sandcastles and sparklers are way more fun anyways 😌✨
Larch- Engineering student drop out and Ex Movie Theatre employee! The school thing he hates talking about- but he claims the movie theatre job wasn’t that bad. He liked that it was a night shift and his coworkers were tolerable! His sister even visited for free candy from time to time! He hated it though, the closer it got to Halloween… when more and more horror movies start coming out. Some fans take it too far sometimes.
Thanks for the ask- I apologise for not answering it yesterday! :]

I was listening to Thumbs by Lucy Dacus and I realized it really could be. the "Din's POV about Luke and Anakin" song. it even kind of expresses the Mandalorian sentiment of "No one cares who your father is, only the father you will be" at the end, you know?
abso FUCKING LUTELYYYYY anon I agree 10000%. lucy dacus lyrics and dinluke are my LIFEBLOOD!!! I feel that din’s thoughts on anakin would be very complicated. because he knows that luke had it in his heart to forgive him, that he loves him and considers him his father, and din respects that, but he cannot fathom it all all. in din’s mind anakin is the worst kind of person to be. not just darth vader but someone that would hurt their own children over and over again. din is vengeful, he respects lukes love for anakin but he’ll never get it or hold that same respect for anakin, even without taking into account din’s anger in how the empire stole beskar and tore his wounded culture to shreds
and maybe luke knows this….and though he feels ashamed for it, will even go as far as to defend anakin from din’s fury, but a part of luke likes it, having din advocate for the pain that luke has healed from. he cannot and will not ALLOW what vader did to him affect him anymore, but din’s hatred for vader makes him feel like someone is on his side. yes, leia is on his side and gets it more than din ever will, but it’s different because of how safe luke feels with din in the first place. he feels protected and advocated for
the mandalorian sentiment is sooo special to me.. because that quote would reassure luke more than anything else. din doesn’t see him as the big bad offspring as darth vader that luke is afraid of being, din sees him as something good!! not an extension of vaders evil!!!
“I love your eyes
And he has them
But you have his
'Cause he was first
I imagine my thumbs on the irises
Pressing in until they burst”
“I wanna take your face between my hands and say
"You two are connected by a pure coincidence
Bound to him by blood, but baby, it's all relative
You've been in his fist ever since you were a kid
But you don't owe him shit even if he said you did
You don't owe him shit even if he said you did"
Like wow …. sorry for rambling so bad op i just feel strongly about them or whatever
