#even the railway where im from is there

[wankstain-mcgee]

Why do I dream of mines??? I've literally dreamed of the same collection of imaginary mines for years

[thegreatyin]

honestly looking back at all the irem futures. the funniest takeaway from all of them is that fires is 2000% doomed by the narrative. no matter what, This Specific Evil Capitalist Bat, out of All The Other Evil Capitalist Bats, is apparently The Most Dead Guy Coded member of the bazaar's fucked up goofy horrible workplace sitcom. how does (will?) this even happen

[wizisbored]

im pretty sure at this point that the running iron is going to involve a version of a mens corset to give the centaurs some back support while theyre trudging through the desert all day and logically i know theres no reason for them not to just be a regular mens corset with an altered waistline but the urge to just throw horse tack at it is strong

watch my boyfriend|| matt sturniolo

an hiiii it's 3.12 am while i post this heh how are y'all im super disappointed rn so enjoy a cute little piece to make up for the disappointment :')

tagged; @t1llysblogs [let me know if any of you want to be tagged in my works]

warm air blew through her hair as she sat in the backyard. she was totally bored out of her mind. her boyfriend- matt was in the house doing good knows what. suddenly an idea stuck through her.

she had recently seen the trend where one person asks their followers to watch their partner. and she had to do this with matt.

going inside the house, she spotted matt quietly cutting some apples. opening her camera, she went beside him and kept her phone against a jar. quickly pressing the record button she said "hey guys can you watch my boyfriend for a second?" pressing a small kiss to her boyfriend's cheek she ran away from there, leaving a very confused and awkward matt.

matt knew he was socially awkward. and this moment added more proof to it. giving the camera a small wave and hello, he countinued chopping the apples. feeling bad for not entertaining his girlfriend's followers, he started talking.

"i was just chopping some apples for y/n/n so she could snack on them later. woman loves her apples more than me. anyways how are you guys doing? would you like some apple juice? y/n/n loves it too much!"

saying the last line he pushed a box of apple juice towards the screen. growing awkward again he started munching on the cut apples while wondering where on earth his girlfriend is.

"was he good? thanks for watching him guys." said a sudden voice. she was about to end the video when matt grabbed her from behind and continuously kissed her cheek. giggling at her boyfriend's behaviour, she ended the video. "babyyyy i missed you. look i even cut apples for you." was the last thing the video captured.

railway inspired drabble ⚘️‼️

im fucking screaming at the scene where the blood drips out of his mouth and down into the other's mouth. aaaaa screaming without the s

-contains mature themes (chris is mean and not very nice, choking and strength kink, darker themes)

"trust me, darlin and stop trying to run"

his hand firmly pushing down onto your neck. fingers tightening around the base of your neck. you gasp, struggling to escape.

partly blinded by the rags tied over your half your face. catching a glimpse of the creature above.

.

.

this was a bad idea. wandering into the abandoned infirmary and nearby asylum for a few ingredients was not a great idea.

doing this for an acquaintance who you weren't on good terms with, made it feel worse. sometimes desperation fuels a person into doing things that are unusual.

a witch like you? in vampire territory?

no. this was the holy grave.

that too a place where no one dared to go... that was a death sentence.

confrontation with christopher. a man who no one believed was real.

was in fact very real. and very terrifying.

hiding yourself as the other zombified prisoners was the only idea that came to mind.

however it wasn't the best idea at all.

he'd hunted you through the corriders. chasing you down particularly till the open airs. barricaded and within the grass patches outside the asylum.

the end was near? or was it?

.

.

body arching upwards at the heat that licks up your legs. spreading straight to your core. a sensation that has you squirming.

everything blurring when his mouth finds its way to your heat. tongue slipping against your soaked folds.

canines grazing the swollen bundle of nerves in a way that heightens your senses. he's pulling you onto his tongue, tasting you entirely.

unaware of how you ended up in this situation. until you realise this situation wasn't taking place.

atleast in reality.

it was all in your head.

he was in your head. tricking you into being compliant. submissive only to him.

"you seemed to have enjoyed that, didn't ya?"

he cooes, laughing without much care for the fact that he had now kept you pinned to the floor with his booted foot.

hand slipping up to choke you harder.

"dirty girl. or should i say filthy little witch"

a flash of terror ignites within you. minutes to tasting death.

a little more force, a snap and your life would be over in his hands. in the hands of a blood thirsty cold blooded killer of the night.

"you thought i'd be dumb enough to not catch a whiff of your scent"

his lips curve upwards into a condescending smile.

"i'm smarter than you think. i'm everything you think i'm not"

"I knew it from the beginning. hiding? hiding gets you nowhere little one" and you fight back the tears in your eyes. going lightheaded.

watching him bite at his own wrist. whipping his head back with force. not a glimmer of pain in his expressions.

stoic and eerily cold. even as his arm bled. crimson red dripping out of his mouth. staining his chin.

his fingers cupping under your jaw. keeping your mouth open unconciously to gasp for air.

kicking at the grass under you at the warmth of his own blood dripping right onto your tongue.

tastebuds firing up at the iron like taste.

eyes fluttering as his darkened pupils stared straight into your soul. parting his lips further to spit more blood for you to swallow.

"h-hah" you gurgle, desperately trying to grab onto him. any part of him. wrapping weak hands around his covered biceps. clawing at the skin.

"take it like a good girl" and you moan. breathing heavily around the two digits he pushes past your lips.

pressing down on your tongue, making you swallow. his nails prodding deep enough to make you gag.

"i said take. it." and it shouldn't be so arousing. you can't control the slick that pools between your thighs. cunt throbbing and weeping for him.

even more so...now that he had imprinted himself on you.

you didn't know what to classify him under. an original vampire? a half turned werewolf?

whatever he was...he was powerful. controlling. thirsty for blood. thirsty for ruthless killing.

its only when you sob out. grinding onto his boot with relentless hips. that he pins you down. licking the redness that dribbles out of the corner of your lips.

"shush now, my sweet thing" he cooes, kissing the tears that stain your cheeks. his fingers tugging away the cloth covering your face.

"hush hush pretty girl" the vampire trails a finger down to your lips. firmly shutting you up.

"i'm in control of you from now"

the mv screwed up my brain and now all i can think of is mister christopher bahng-

cléo reacts to railway on live!

1.3k words of something silly for your troubles. everyone say thank you myah for enabling me !!! mentions of blood bc chan is a freak.

“so. we’re here.”

cléo’s smile is soft as she settles back into her chair, swaying from side to side as she watches the live grow bigger with each tuned in viewer. she looks calmer, more at peace. a long shot from where she was a few years ago.

“hi everyone,” she greets the live serenely. “how are we doing? any life updates? i’ve got a few. im not talking about music, so don’t expect me to spoil anything. i’m excited for the demon slayer movies. if it was possible to order tickets before the movies are even animated, i’d be holding three tickets right now.”

she hums as she regards the comments. “someone asked if i have a tmi. okay. my beloved daughter oreo killed a spider recently and i bought a cat tree to reward her for being braver than me. and in doing so, ran into someone from high school. sweet, right?”

her smile flattens. “wrong. made a complete fool of myself for forgetting they knew i’d previously made a fool of myself in high school. not saying how. but it involves a cat and a bunch of chocolates.” she pauses for a moment and then smiles again. “it’s kinda silly in hindsight. you’re not allowed to ask hyunjin about it either.”

she laughs as the comments boo her, shrugging her shoulders. “‘that doesn’t count as a tmi!’ well that’s too damn bad!”

“another life update—though i guess this does count as talking about music… but anyway.” her grin brightens, excitement visible. “i’m working with the boys on something really cool. it’s been in the works for a while and im super excited for you all to see it. and speaking of…”

turning to the side, she drags her laptop into view and flips the screen up. “we’re watching a certain music video today. think of this segment as chan’s room adjacent. welcome to cléo’s room. and in honor of a certain solo hitting the streets, i’ve been asked to watch and react to it.”

she wiggles her fingers towards the camera before pulling youtube up on her screen. “i’ve been told it’s kinda freaky. to which—”

cléo glances at the camera, unmoved. “red lights exists. drive exists. connected exists. i say this with all the love in the world, but chan is a freak. he is. i can say that. you haven’t seen the worst of it. but anyway.���

cléo hums once more as the comments briefly break in response to what she had just casually shared. “and i know he’s watching this because i told him to tune in. oh! should i say what i’m expecting to see given his track record? yes? yeah? okay.”

she adjusts her glasses before beginning to list off her expectations. “it’s called railway, so i know nothing in the song is going to feature any trains unless used for an innuendo. chains, cause that’s been a common theme across the board. contacts...”

she looks up, a slight grimace tugging at her lips. “can we please retire the contacts. there’s a reason why none of my photocards have contacts. contacts are never seeing me. if you don’t love me with my glasses, you don’t love me at all.”

“anything else? no spoiling, i know you all have already watched it.” cléo taps a nail against the table surface in thought. “maybe a viral scene. a real freaky one. but let’s stop stalling.”

cracking her knuckles, she begins to type—and then pauses.

“so i just typed in the letter ‘r’,” she muses slowly, turning the screen around. “and it’s the first search. y’all must have really enjoyed it. i’m kind of scared, i won’t lie.”

she turns her laptop back around and finishes typing, letting out a soft aha! when she finally had the music video pulled up.

“congrats on two million views already..” she smiles at the camera before connecting her headphones and hitting play…

and already, she’s giggling. she has to pause the video and hide her face for a moment, peeking at the screen a few times in disbelief.

“it’s been exactly four seconds,” she deadpans before cracking up again. “is this a music video or an ad for a new twilight novella?”

the video progress for a handful of seconds before her brows furrow again. “what the— wait. what the f—hell—what is happening—”

cléo’s snort is half amused and half in disbelief, staring at her paused screen before glancing at the live. “i predicted freaky sh—stuff, but this is kinda��� okay. vampire media. it’s been twenty-four seconds. got it. okay.”

at the thirty-four second mark, she lets out a sharp laugh. “train innuendo. called it.”

she tries so hard to hold in her laugh, she does. but after hearing two more train innuendos in quick succession after the first one, she bursts into laughter once again, pushing her glasses up to dab at her eyes.

“i’m being so unserious, i’m sorry—i’m sorry,” she utters between giggles, sniffling before squaring her shoulders. “right. it’s been a minute and one second. let’s do this.”

as the seconds tick by, she gives way too serious commentary that has the livestream poke fun at her. thoughts like ‘this is the representation hot topic teens never got’ and ‘this is going to go stellar on fanfiction.net—is that website still around?’ make the chat crash, but she’s having fun and it shows.

she does grimace at the blood drinking a few times, but she makes no comment on that.

until he takes a bite out of his wrist—hand—arm—and spits the blood into another person’s mouth. she slowly closes her laptop to stare at the live.

she doesn’t know whether to gag, laugh, or do a weird mix of both. she’s at a loss for words, truly. and the comments just keep rolling in as she struggles for a few seconds to find her voice again.

“christopher bahng,” she murmurs almost to herself. “the fuck did i just watch?”

brows furrowed as a disbelieving laugh escapes her again, she glances as the comments either laugh at her reaction or tell her to keep going. “keep going? he just spit fucking goo into another person’s mouth! that was thick! y’all cannot be serious—”

she sputters as the comments continue to persuade her. “…alright. okay. i respect artistry.”

she opens the laptop and hits play.

and then closes it again when the person on screen gags on the blood.

“i respect artistry—see, if he had gone the normal rihanna s&m route—”

cléo jokingly scoffs as the live begins to boo her, waving them off. “you all know i’m squeamish. shut up.” she then hits the space button again.

cléo watches the rest of the video with little commentary, only moving to pause the video when the logo for stray kids pops up on the screen. it takes her a while to gather her thoughts. eventually the live gets to impatient and starts a block of text spam hoping to catch her attention. and it does.

“‘cléo and chan railway stage’?” she looks aghast, shaking her head with a laugh. “you’re cute. anyway—”

she clasps her hands with a smile. “so! my thoughts on railway. super duper freaky icky sh—stuff as predicted. train innuendos. he’s three for three on using modes of transportation like that. predicting a mile high club song next. what else…”

her head tilts to the side. “didn’t know he was putting in an audition to be a twilight character, but i think he’d be really good for it. i support artistry. viral scene was definitely… that one, and i don’t have any comments because if i think about it i will gag. sorry to him.”

“it’s a cute horror music video, though! would have loved to see him fight with himself a lot more, to be honest. ending scene was cool. cool music video.”

a short pause. then, to herself, “‘this train never sleeps’? that’s kind of corny…”

“i heard min’s solo was cute. i saw the teaser for it a while back. school concepts are very cute. should i react to that one soon?” she nods slowly as she reads the comments. “say no more.”

she smiles again, waving at the camera. “i’m going to go watch my comfort movie and forget i ever saw this. bye, now!”

[steam-beasts]

Toby, my dear Toby...what will happen to you?

When the infection first popped up, Henrietta wasn't that worried, and neither was Toby...as much. Though, he was admittedly a bit on edge with the fact it was affecting engines. It wasn't even fully clear what the symptoms were. As far as they were told, it would just be boiler ache, coughing and a fever. Everything was gonna be fine

But when Toby ended up getting it, it was so much worse than she thought

_______________________________________

It was a lovely morning at Arlesdale End.

The birds were singing...

The flowers were blooming...

...and Henrietta woke up to Toby who was having another coughing fit. The old coach groaned tiredly and winced as she heard the old tram cough and wheeze. Despite her clear annoyance with being woken, she felt a pang of sympathy for Toby "Aw, Toby... getting any better?" She asked.

Toby coughed and sniffed "Ugh... afraid not, Henrietta. It...it feels like this infection is just getting worse and worse..." he croaked. Henrietta sighed "Oh dear...it's been nearly a month! Surely no illnesses take this long, do they?"

Toby's driver patted her buffer "On rare occasions, ol' girl. This is clearly one of them" He said. Several curses could be heard from inside the tram's cab. Then, out came the fireman

"Any joy?" Asked the driver.

Nothin'! Unless there's summin' wrong with the coal we're giving 'im, I can't see or find a bloody thing wrong!" The fireman grunted, wiping his forehead.

"Well, I don't think taking him to Crovan's gate for the 11th time in a row will help either. Not even they can find the cause" the driver sighed "Plus, he'll need to get better at some point. Topham can only keep the railway closed for so long"

"Bloody hell..."

Toby wasn't really comforted by his crew's conversation. He grimaced at the thought of going up to Crovan's gate for the 11th time in a row. His wheels were starting to ache more each week. Sure, he'd gotten ill before from coal, or bad water, but this was much different. It didn't really feel like the coal was the problem, nor any water. It felt so much worse...

He liked his shed, but he didn't want to stay in it forever...

It was then Toby felt an awful queasy sensation in his body. He couldn't pinpoint where it was, but it didn't feel good one bit. His firebox crackled and fizzed excessively, and that was when he felt nauseous. Suddenly, he felt something traveling up to his mouth, and then–

"BLEGHH!!" He vomited and gagged as a deep black fluid came rushing out of his mouth and splattered onto the rails below. His crew came rushing to his side and were taken back by the sight of him vomiting. As the last few drops of black fluid came out, Toby coughed and tried to spit out the bitter taste, all the while panting for breath and wincing as it left the back of his mouth with a stinging pain.

"Oh god..." The fireman whispered. The driver then ran back in the shed "I'll get the towels!"

"Toby?! Are you alright, Toby? What's happening?!" Henrietta exclaimed, silently cursing her inability to see what was happening.

The driver dashed back with a bundle of towels and proceeded to wipe up the old tram's face and buffers "It's alright, old boy. Take deep breaths..." he told him soothingly as he proceeded to clean him up. Henrietta felt herself pale a bit, knowing whatever was happening was bad.

A few hours later, Toby didn't stop vomiting now and then, his crew gave up and just placed a giant old tub in front of him as a bucket for him to empty his...ugh...

Henrietta always winced at the sounds of the steam tram gagging. All the while, she could hear his crew talking about him.

"Whatever's happenin' to him is beyond concernin'. I'll tell ya that"

"What did he even throw up?"

"I checked. I found little chunks o' coal in that stuff. Must be liquidated coal he brought up"

"But...people and animals only throw up stuff that upsets their stomach. Toby's a steam engine. He shouldn't have a stomach..."

"...fuck's sake. I don't wanna think about it"

Henrietta only grew even more concerned as they went on. Of course they don't have stomachs! They never had them, they shouldn't have them, Toby couldn't be growing a...a...

Henrietta felt sick even thinking about the possibilities. She could only listen as Toby vomited into the tub and whispered;

"Oh Toby...what's happening to you...?"

[szilverer]

so, after a timely realization post-hallowmas,

reisz has officially joined the great hellbound railway's board! 🥳

...although. they did not think they'd be put in a position of power when they decided to invest contributing money from the sidelines. what do you mean reisz is on equal grounds with all these important people.? was it really that much money???

liveblog rambling about latest developments under the cut lol

wait, but the last i've updated of them they were still slowly dipping their toes into seeking and peckish enough to eat an entire clown car's worth of people! well, to sum it up, every addict has a wake-up call moment and reisz' came after the unexpectedly disturbing nightmare that left a little gift on their skin. reisz was not pleased by this in the slightest, but it's not like they immediately recognized it for what it was. they wanted to believe it was just a particular dream phenomenon, yeah, surely they'd be able to sneak away from it in parabola as always.

(this was when i realized the surprise benefit that was marrying them to edward-- i can use him as a plot device LMFAO. aight eddie i bet ya dont wanna become a widow while that moonmilk is still lingering so your job now is infodumping your clueless spouse every now and then. hence: )

after a little kidnapping, a frenzied feast of rubbery lumps and a bit of denial, reisz gets so goddamn pissed at the prospect of forever staining all their shirts (and their ivory gowl!!!) with blood that they quit seeking outright.

SIGHS.

so. that was that.

alas, after stitching themself up, reisz took up on an old invitation to concord square where some ppl (for some reason??) wanted to handle them the Jack case. considering reisz had already freed london of a menace of a man, sure, let's do it again.

it was there that they came across an invitation to the railway venture. once again, barely reading the details, they went headfirst into it. scrip? ya want scrip? i can get scrip stat. no idk what scrip is but i got it by accident when i sold some lab reports. hahaha yes im joking of course! of course.

reisz sacrifices 3 of their headless skeleton friends to the bone market the very next day (these being their first skelly dealings in that market ever...) and heads to the board. there were faces both old and new.

HAL - acquaintances, hadnt seen him in a while but had good times drinking before. fun company. alright.

The Efficient Commissioner - never seen before. (me, player: HIIIII HELLO FINALLYYYYYYY)

the board has reisz recommend choose a third member (why.) they only heard of Jenny way back in the waswood, and the last time they saw Feducci they had hacked him to pieces after a shared gaze of profound understanding that reisz didnt wanna think about, so... Jovial Contrarian my lad. come on over! we always chat at parties anyway!

reisz was immediately forced to go excavating to pay a bribe. off to a great start there. then the deviless reisz duped months ago invited herself over to the board and they sincerely hoped she had forgotten all that stuff about the stones.

finally, the church meddles in, and they have to choose between... a bishop they never heard about and the dean of xenotheology. they chose the dean solely bc she reminded them of Dr. Vaughan. (no, the bishop that edward kidnapped was never an option. he's one of the handful of people that know about the whole marriage thing so no way.)

this entire thing had barely started and it had already begun to give them a headache. reisz goes to sleep tired as all hell and is woken up at an equally unholy hour:

(cue me screaming bc i FINALLY get to meet this absolute celebrity. furnace the woman that you are. shes SUCH an interesting character right off the bat.)

reisz is not even close to being a political person -- they've been a red player through and through -- so they didnt particularly like the idea of being the bridge between the board and the union. it was to their relief that this furnace person seemed quite level-headed and someone they could personally get along. some good news, at least? (i am also very 👀 at the possibility of reisz actually giving a damn about a political faction in the future. lets see!)

now all the bureaucracy was out of the way, and the GHR can finally start laying the actual track! surely the other members are gonna make the arrangements soon, right?

...right...?

Topher Bus *sigh siiigh* has appeared on screen... for 51 seconds. A total of 6:15 minutes..........let's go to bed, the fan is turned on.

[your-werewolf-boyfriend]

believe it or not some people cant afford cars. seriously, trying to say ppl in poverty or disabled online are lying because???? i dont know what the fuck you were thinking

Hi! That's not what I said! I said a car is not something that makes you rich! 60k is not a rich person car! Just because you have it worse, does not mean that everyone else is rich! This is the line of thought unfortunately what causes class infighting

It is not your neighbors fault you are disabled and in poverty. That doesn't make someone working for 12 dollars an hour rich, nor the person making 15, 20, 40, even 50. These people are all 1 step away from being just like you. Sometimes it takes them a couple months or years as treatments eat up their savings. But they're not your enemy.

Look at the CEO, look at the stockholders holding 20% of a company urging for higher profits, look at the billionaires buying their way into companies and ruining YOUR infrastructure on purpose (Elon Musk is a huge one - California should know what im talking about, just look at Boeing and their safety, AI startups and attempting to release it as a commercial replacement for artists).

These people are blood clots upon the economy, sucking up wealth in singular areas, and not allowing communities to improve while divising ways to further isolate you. California was supposed to have a high speed railway - Elon Musk literally stopped it for his Hyperloop, which will never be completed. The same thing is now occurring in Las Vegas as SEVERAL train ways attempt to make a high-speed railway here. Further isolating people from the hope of moving from here after they gamble away their life after having some medication, or some crisis, or something.

And the worst part is that this is how capitalism at core is designed, and cannot be stopped without either 1) A cap on income or capital or 2) Severe heavy taxing for the ultra wealthy - flat tax no loopholes. It's designed for infinite growth, which in a post industrial society where people don't really like having many kids - we now reach our pop flatline (and I'm doing my part, I don't want kids at all really)... and that means infinite growth just simply cannot happen. At maximum efficiency infinite growth doesn't work.

And this is not just happening in my country, this is happening in Europe, some middle eastern countries that have adopted capitalism, idk about Canada - I'm sorry Canadians I don't pay enough attention to you other than your apparent similar targeting of natives.

So look out for people who want to target that, even locally. One state adopted a tax on millionaires, people making over a million a year, and raked in revenue beyond belief. The goal is to get people in there with the mindset of "fix the cause, not the symptom" and have people use that tax to not fund the fucking cops but instead education programs for free to create more social workers, more nurses, more teachers, and eliminate the debt people have to go into to START a job. Maybe even stipend people as they go through education, pay people to fill in gaps. We literally have a plane pilot shortage because you have to go almost a 100k into debt to just start if you don't have the money to build up hours. Free food programs, free medical care, free anything to survive.

Or you could make a bigger splash like the fellow in New York but for legal reasons I'm not advising or instructing anyone to do any such thing ever. I totally do not agree with praxis, or something like that.

Anyway the solution starts not at wanting your neighbors blood, but at everyone trying to share their blood - and hope that others share back. And ends with elimination of blood clots upon our body, so that we may free up more blood for everyone to share.

I will mention this yet again, HOISNY is a thrilling AU by a fellow friend of mine Loraine, you can be frequently updated on the AU on their tumblr and the askblog about it :D

[lovscb97]

hi bc im angry on ur behalf railway is apart of a SERIES. THERE WON'T BE A PART TWO YOU STUPID SLUT. the people on tumblr write because they love to, not because they're here strictly to pump out works whenever you want them. let one shots be open ended! use your imagination! the demanding attitude & lack of genuine support is why amazing and dedicated writers like sunny herself end up quitting.

mind your manners, don't take her for granted, and maybe for once start leaving actual feedback?

- linopilled 😐

MIMI SJWKWKWKSJ ITS OKAY 😭😭😭 i very much appreciate the anger on my behalf tho i love u

just a general psa tho (like not even in my case but for everybody out there) that it's not that it's terrible awful Sin Personified if u ask for a part 2 of a work that's been posted ... it's just a little bit disheartening if that's the ONLY thing u have to say abt it.

once again, do not get it twisted!!! comments n support n notes r appreciated nonetheless n writers will eat up whatever positively inferred thing u say to them cus . Well we r all starved for feedback but 😅 please have the courtesy to at the least leave ur thoughts on the work n point out why u enjoyed it or just that u even enjoyed it at All before u enter the territory of asking for a follow up work. it's just a little upsetting when u put in so much effort n time n energy to write (for free mind u) our of ur own will n volition n all somebody has to say abt it is "when is the next part coming out" awks ...

im also aware that asking for a second part means u enjoyed the first, but there r just better ways to express that instead of jumping straight to chances of a sequel. w that being said, if u have ever done this then it's ok!!! we know it's not ur intention but maybe u can perhaps keep this in mind when u move forward from here onwards :]

on that note, idk if i haven't alr said it i might have forgotten to mention it in the masterlist but ALL the step out 2025 fics are strictly one part only. no follow up or sequel or part 2 or whatever will be posted for any of them bcs the ending i've envisioned n planned for them is just meant to end where it ends. u r more than welcome to ask for headcannons or my thoughts on what i think will happen in the future of that universe, but some parts of it r left up to interpretation on purpose bcs that's just what i want to do!!! if i ever do feel like expanding then i will let u guys know well in advance (or drop it w/o advance intimation heh...)

anywho sorry for the rant of sorts n once more thank u so much for all the feedback n comments that r left anyways but just maybe carry this tip in mind for future reference ^^;

Elder Dragon Highlander Full Commentary

ello everyone! here is the commentary that i promised you all yesterday for today and then promptly forgot to format that night which im now rushing to do at 8 in the morning today before classes.

Halikar the Mirage Serpent by @typical-davinci-impersonator

This certainly captures the splashiness of an Elder Dragon but I think that last ability is too much even here. Also, granting all the abilities of broad subsets of creatures to other broad subsets of creatures gets into too funky of rules territory. If I control a Maro and an Enigma Drake, what’s its power, for example?

Kida Vahine by @bergdg

I like how this card, like Piru from modern horizons 2, makes the upkeep sacrifice clause a bit more interesting. How many cards do you need to exile with this before you’re happy with it? I feel like it’s several attacks worth, which makes this less exciting. What if instead this was like, “Whenever you cast a spell from your hand or play a land from your hand, exile the top card of your library.” That has a lot more explosive potential and encourages you to play out your hand since you can refill it when they die.

Nicol Bolas, Escaped by @dabudder

I’m not sure this ability is really what I’d expect from a bolas tbh. A card that encourages you to functionally sacrifice him (since you can either play him *or* your opponent’s thing) just feels really off flavor. This is more minor and nitpicky, but he also probably wants a discard effect; while his cards seem at first glance kinda generically grixis, discarding is His Thing. Bolas’s Touch breaks minds.

Belgarath, Witherbloom Heir by @railway-covidae

Oooh this definitely has the excitement an elder dragon should. Six mana 7/7 flying trample, and a very cool ability. Mayyyybe the numbers are a bit too pushed, but it seems fine if on the upper side of things. I really like this. The mana gate on the ability was a good choice.

Crosis, Endless Hunger by @genericaura

I question the choice to make crosis an elder dragon a little since he’s explicitly of a generation that is *not* elder dragons but the children of them, but I don’t really want to get into the weeds of things, I’m not taking off points for that. I like the last ability as an evolution of the original elder dragon ability, but I do think it might end up a bit more fiddly than fun. Not sure though. I definitely think it should be true hexproof instead of ward though, with that ability. As for the main ability, I’m not convinced it plays well. You were riffing off crosis (and his sibling’s) original abilities that all had a similar color-matters esque effect but I don’t think it’s a great fit for modern design. Even the referencing cycle in time spiral didn’t do it. It has that very hallmark of old magic feel to it where sometimes your opponent is just very screwed over by playing a certain color, the same color as you. And encouraging monocolor on a three color card is just, a bit sketchy, tbh. I think the coolness of seeing new versions of the primevals that fit modern design better outweighs the coolness of the callback. Also, you forgot the power and toughness lol.

Jiskal Cydru by @hypexion

A cycle of elder dragons seems like a great rare place to put 4 color cards, so you’ve got a really enticing concept here. The ability seems a good match for the hype as well. But there’s a few details of the exact execution that seem off. Only being able to cast spells of *exactly* the amount of damage feels far too limiting, “that much or less” would definitely play better, but then that’s a huge increase in power. Maybe simplify to “cast any number with mana value [4 or 5] or less”? I also think you should cut the haste, to give your opponent a better chance to interact before you pop off.

Hydrargyr Solem y @nine-effing-hells

I love the cycle this implies with wedge-colored original-elder style dragons (technically already started with Piru) and I love prowess prowess prowess that’s a very funny bit of text. The death trigger is definitely a good payoff, and honestly I wonder if it can be even bigger. This is really solid though

Kaztur Dovas by @i-am-the-one-who-wololoes

This is really really cool and exciting. Almost too much so. This does too much of the work for you by both reanimating and tutoring to yard. I think this makes games to same-y, in addition to the power. I definitely think this card would be served better by cutting one ability or the other, and my preference would be cutting the tutoring ability.

Ugin, Seeker of the Unseen// Ugin, Father of Tarkir by @fractured-infinity

I’m very glad someone made an Ugin parallel to bolas’s card from m19 like people were wanting. The front side seems very strong but prooobably okay? I do think this may be a bit too focused on manifesting though; it’s all just variations on ways to do more or less the same thing; I’m especially worried with how the +2 is largely a similar effect to the combat damage of the front, so you’re basically getting the same effect every turn as the front except this time without attached damage. I do really like the 0 ability both as a morph/manifest payoff and a flavorful effect for ugin.

Hetman Roghar by @marrinara-sauce

This definitely isn’t really what i was looking for and I think you knew that, but like i said before, im not gonna be picky. This is clearly a signpost uncommon meant for limited, but I worry about how board-stally it is there, since you can keep all the citizens and peasants you presumably have lying around to keep indestructibly chump-blocking pretty easily. Has those issues as a commander too, to a degree, but the pains of that are definitely lessened since commander is far less about combat tempo.

Draugki, Immersturm Tyrant by @deg99

What an incredible typeline. I think I’m in love. “Elder Vampire Dragon”, that’s cool as hell. As for the mechanics, I’m a little less enamored. My main issue is that it’s very easy to exile lots of cards from a graveyard at once, and this just gives you tons and tons of value for that. I’d suggest a once-per-turn limitation on the abilities, but I don’t think there’s room for that. Maybe “one or more” does the job?

Dromoka of the Abzan by @bread-into-toast

Fascinating flavor here, I’m intrigued. This is a very abzan dragon though, I quite like it. Go wide, +1/+1 counter synergy, reanimation. All very abzan. In the event something wild happens lorewise, I could see this card existing. 

Pizoondertanx by @wolkemesser

I think this is just a bit too noninteractive. The flash means you can take your opponent when they least expect it, the static ability will randomly hose some kinds of decks even without the stun counters, the ward makes it hard to get rid of that static, and even if they do they still have to wait a bit for their creatures. I think any of these on their own could be okay, but altogether it just seems like too much.

Wrestare, the Typhone King by @snugz

Okay first of all, killer title. “The typhoon king”, just excellent. Powerlevel wise this could safelyjust be a full-on future sight without any limitations. But to keep it as a flying-matters card, I think this definitely needs something more going on. I’m not quite sure what though

Cantros Vel by @batatafilosofal

As I said in my commentary in the other 4 color card, I think a cycle of elder dragons is a rare good opportunity for a 4 color cycle, so I’m a big fan of the concept. I’m intrigued by greenless mind-control matters, though I’m not sure about mixing it with an Aura matters effect. It feels like it would lead to a kind of confused deck. The alternative is going full in on auras, and just using the second effect as a payoff for the first- and on second thought that probably is the main way of playing- but a 4 color enchantment matters card that excludes green feels… odd.

Tayus the Nostalgic by @curiooftheheart

I like how this, like Piru, plays around with the upkeep sacrifice trigger. The payoff is definitely far less than Piru’s though and I think you made two good choices to balance that out: 1 making it trigger on etb and 2 giving this haste. I like this.

Ugin by @horsecrash

I feel like this card just doesn’t go big enough, to be honest. Like look at how big Piru goes. Ugin’s death trigger is just really specific’ you really need the time to build it up with his manifest ability. But an 8 mana card that asks for continued payment shouldn’t really need that kind of work put into it.

Valustix, Celebrity Chef by @stupidstupidratcreatures

Oooh interesting. This is an odd one. Being able to turn tokens into bursts of mana is scary, but only being able to use it on activated abilities probably more than balances it out. Now it’s more of sac two foods: You gain 3 life. This seems like a well-constructed engine kind of design: it enters the battlefield to give you some resources, then gives some alternate uses for those resources. As a minor note, I might tweak the ETB effect to be “each time you’ve cast a commander from the command zone”, not just this exclusively. And having the second activated ability require tapping but not the first feels slightly odd.

[mudkippies]

sorry if this is obvuous but whats "thing: japan"ing?

Its from this meme:

[ID: A wojak meme, first showing an annoyed wojak looking at a landscape labelled "Place". Second shows an extremely happy and awed wojak, looking at the same landscape but now labelled "Place, Japan" /End ID]

Its a term pointing out how ppl will be obsessed w/ smth just bcs its japanese. Like those memes "Japan is living in 2050 😱😱" or being obsessed w/ anime while trashing on donghua (<- major problem bcs it has both japanese fetishism And sinophobia). Also comes in the form of likeee. attributing other EA things to Japan (like on Tiktok tanghulu got rlly popular and ppl kept describing it as "a japanese snack" when its from China). AMONG MANT OTHER THINGS im not the best person to list this since im not even asian much less japanese, this was just a few off the top of my head.

I mentioned it in my post bcs I was talking abt the Japanese train and subway systems are Legitimately world-class- the thing I mentioned in the tags was this experiment where bits of food were placed in an arrangement of major cities around Tokyo, and mold was placed at the center (where "Tokyo" was), and the path it took basically matched the railways they have- notable since the slime follows the most efficient route to it.

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

If we're wanting to have Volo as a human, you know how in the game Volo is angry because he thinks he's more worthy of arceus' attention than the protag is? In this Volo's motive for drugging, kidnapping, and tossing Ingo out of the train could be that same kind of toxic envy. He doesn't like cats and resents how much fame and attention they get, so he wants to get rid of them. On this go round he only manages to get Ingo, but his plan was to get both of them (only to find that people are much more vigilant about keeping track of Emmet after Ingo's disappearance). Are there easier ways to kill a cat? Sure, but he's also a dramatic bitch. He tosses Ingo out as they're going through the tunnel, Ingo hits the wall and sustains some injuries, and then when he wakes up he limps his way out of the tunnel/rift, where he is then found by the Pearl Clan.

Most railway cats are either strays or former strays who were adopted by the station when they seemed to permanently move in. So it could be that Ingo and Emmet started out as strays that train hopped around, until they ended up settling into Gear Station as their permanent home. They were smart, friendly cats so people took an instant liking to them and they ended up being locally famous.

In which case he probably does know how to hunt for food, but it was always for like mice and things around railyards or in human settlements, and for the last few years he's only had to do it for occasional pest control because humans typically feed him. And even as a stray he never really had to do the whole like, fighting thing, really. Most of his "fighting" experience is just him and Emmet wrestling each other. So he'd probably suit the medicine cat role better, as you said.

Side note, but I kind of want Elesa to be an award winning show dog whose owner sometimes uses the trains to go to shows. She and the twins have a good rapport, which is part of why Ingo is so chill even with the nobles who are non-cat predators. When Emmet can't figure out what happened, the next time Elesa comes through he asks if she can tell anything. It's been a bit since he went missing, but not so long that she can't tell a few things from lingering smells, which finally gives Emmet a lead.

disney villain kinda motivation ngl. you're jealous of a Cat? at least canon volo had a tiny bit going for him bc he decided to Fight God. but that's a CAT DUDE. it's not even like he'd GET that attention if the cats were gone bc... they're... cats... a human is not going to replace them... tho tbh i feel like his motive (if he DID do it and that's what we're going with) would be more along the lines of. not wanting ANYBODY to have nice things. like oh these cats make people happy but they're stupid and frivolous so i'll teach them a lesson about What The Real World Is Like.

this is actually why im lean towards them being just like, traveling strays who meet more other cats than people, tbh. like i feel like it makes way more sense for a human to randomly decide to abuse some random stray than it does to go after a beloved public kitty yanno. just from like, math on the repercussions if nothing else. also i think i said earlier but i kind of like the vibe warriors has where humans are like, on the very distant fringes of the characters' world? they're just these sort of inscrutable beings that the cats know exist, but whose world they never fully enter, and the cats barely even grasp that they're, like, alive animals. why did the twolegs do that? well why do twolegs do anything? and ingo and emmet being station cats sort of. detracts from that a little bit i think. i think i want to keep it barely even clear that a Human Society exists. like i know it's a kinda weird way of looking at this that most people aren't gonna do BUT from the perspective of their in-universe function. if that makes sense? at all?

and then as another point in not-station-cats-'s favor, i DO really like the idea of them being like guides to other cats on the art of trainhopping. like maybe in this warriors world there's a subgroup of cats who are just, hardcore wanderers, or cats who want to be Really Far Away for whatever reason. and then as a bonus to that you can have other cats that they kinda know from repeat encounters, and emmet while he's on his Search can track them down and get the same "yeah idk, haven't seen him" response from all of them. which i think is a fun b-plot opportunity!

i do like the idea of them being station cats, to be clear, i think it's cute. i just dunno if it fits for a warriors au maybe. it might be better as something separate. elesa being someone's show pet is really fun tho
