I often wonder about the crews of the rws/ttte universe and what they're like and how they handle the shit their engines pull especially in specials where like. Really insane things happen.

For instance. Does Frankie and Hurricane kidnapping Thomas also count as them kidnapping his crew. can the fat controller sue the steelworks and its employees for trapping his employees as well as his engines. Many such cases.

No witchy Wednesday this week. Life decided NO.

this week, i got dinner with friends, including one i haven't seen since she was last in town and was pregnant. her daughter went into 1st grade this year!! i also met her husband for the first time. me and her and the other friend with us have known each since middle school (!!!) and it was so wild to think about that. went to the eye dr and was right that i can't put off getting new glasses/lenses for another year :/ next week, i'm taking a pottery class with someone who i've known also since middle school but want to be closer friends with since she moved back to our hometown. i hyped myself up to ask if she wanted to and she said yes. forcing myself not to isolate!!! forcing myself to not just work and sleep!!! one day i will make it out of this town but trying to make the best of it while i'm still here <3

I haven't grabbed more than the occasional thing if ice cream or soda or bread at Kroger in years when did they start charging 18USD for six fresh hamburger patties.

it's trash day. we have no idea if the cans will be picked up and/or if the dump is open, but nonetheless we are cleaning all the rotten food out of our fridge and freezer so we can get it out of an increasingly stinky house. my previous estimate, that we managed to save about 2/3 of it, was slightly off. we saved 2/3 of what we managed to get in coolers. overall, we lost just over half of it. also, it smells so bad i had to mask up to even walk out of my bedroom without gagging. at least all the windows are open.

guys last night was a TRAVESTY our power went out and we decided to go to my mom's cause they have a generator and the normal way to get there was blocked by police so we went the back way. tried to go around a fallen tree GOT STUCK IN THE MUD.... which wouldn't have been that terrible like my mom's was only 10 mins away and she and her bf immediately came to tow us out but while we were waiting some dumb fucking asshole wasn't paying attention and hit the fallen tree going like 50 mph was so fucking close to hitting us or propelling the tree THROUGH my car like..... PLEASE. IT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE A 20 MINUTE DRIVE THAT ENDED UP BEING 2+ HOURS.

ALSO THE POWER IS STILL FUCKING OUT 12 HOURS LATER.

jean really looked at this repressed neurotic awkward skinny little autistic nerd who only ever stood up straight or displayed any self-confidence in combat and said “this one’s mine forever” and i love her for that

i love steve and rogers relationship sm omg its so cute. like ik they are suppose to have a ‘brother-type’ relationship but i legit feel like steve would think of rog as a brother to him. like whenever he was old enough to realize he had an older sister he wished he had a brother to hang out with instead. whenever stan brought home roger from area 51 steve immediately fell in love with roger and knew they would have a great bond with each other which ofc they do.

having roger around meant he could now do and play things with him that hayley might not want to do like like perhaps make forts with him or play truth or dare or camp in the backyard and even to this day in his teens doing things like camping in steves room and their ‘wheels and the legman’ get up.

most siblings tho they canonically have their moments of bickering, betrayal, and pettiness and have temporary times where they want nothing to do with each other but in the end though they always still love one another 💕

@Canes: A true team win 👏

Hearing trump talk about western nc is so infuriating because he's just using it as a bargaining chip and a manipulation tactic for votes and so many vulnerable displaced people upset at the government might vote for him and that makes me so pissed. Keep western nc out of your fucking mouth and stick your prayers up your orange ass

I’m still reeling from the impact Helene left around here. I didn’t want to think the rumors and stuff were true, but hearing it from people I know and trust irl and seeing footage of stuff around areas I’m familiar with has left me devastated and extremely upset about everything.

It hit me hard once the rain stopped and I went into town. It hit me even harder once my internet and cell service stabilized and I saw all the news.

I’m really struggling to process stuff right now. I probably will be for a long time until some normalcy gets restored around here. I count myself blessed Helene didn’t hurt me or my loved ones, but it hurt my community and is continuing to do so and that’s just not okay at all.

I’m burnt out about the news but can’t escape it cause it’s here in my neighborhood happening and being discussed and updated daily. I hope people stop wishing ill on folks. It’s awful and it sickens me the responses I’ve seen from the media and the web from some people.

Just stop.

We’re hurting and it doesn’t matter how prepared you think we were, it was unavoidable. Where do you suggest people should’ve gone when even the highest mountain couldn’t avoid the flooding? I’m lucky to have a decent internet signal on the best days where I live. Imagine everyone else around me who doesn’t have any connection to the world except though maybe radio or a landline?

It’s not like we’re stupid. Just stop assuming things. What we need is help, aid, and general support and awareness.

I don’t mean to monologue here. I’m still grieving over the devastation and that takes time.

I’m just so sick of seeing people acting like they know better about the disaster. It’s way way more intricate than you think.

heyo! it's been a hot minute since that post abt ur living situation after the hurricane(?) and all and just wanted to check in if you were doing ok!! it always makes my day to see you pop up on my dash or notes :D

hi!!! yeah, things have been calming down finally so there hasn't been much to report for me :)

i think i said it a few days ago, but im still without wifi rip. in fact, almost everyone i know is without wifi right now, and a lot are still only getting super weak phone connection at their house. mine works great at home but hardly does anything when im at work.

i think there's still a handful of people i know without power still, but most of us seem to have finally gotten it back! my coworker was yelling at me cus of how soon i had gotten my power back while he had still been waiting for his (he finally got it back a few days ago)

but yeah :) im still super anxious about every hurricane i hear about right now, and bc of altered work hours this week and my drs office closing early on fridays i still haven't figured out my medicine situation, but im less anxious about losing my power again and finally feel comfortable getting cold/frozen food again!

also still sad about the damage everywhere but that's not going away any time soon, so it's a grief ill have to learn to live with

Day 6 - Past

I saw on the prompt list that a text post works, so I'll just do that for today since it's been. Very Busy 😅

My plan for today was to draw out the photograph of Matt and Lotus's squad- but from Scarlet and Salvador's pov. This picture would have X's over Matt, Lotus, and Em, with question marks by Holly, Jay, and Lin.

If I manage to draw it later I'll reblog this and add the picture
