Stewart: God, give me patience.

Cinderella’s Prince: I think you mean 'give me strength'.

Steward: If God gave me strength, you'd be dead.

The steward from infinity train

[randommstufff]

[fermented-writers-block]

Does anyone else still wonder what exactly was meant by the Steward telling Tulip to return to her seat? Especially as part of the canonical series, not just as an artifact from the pilot’s script?

Throughout the series and even out of universe production comments, it’s clear that passengers are intended to move through cars to ideally grow from their experiences. But “return to your seat” implies going backwards to some kind of assigned “seat” in a specific car, as is the usual connotations of that phrase when used in real transportation. And I do mean going backwards in this case, not the possibility of having to go forwards, however contradictory that is to the train’s goal.

By the design of the cars on the train and the orientation of all puzzles we’ve seen, it’s organized to funnel passengers ever forwards. Tricks like using Randall or a harpoon pack are more likely than not an unaccounted for oversight on the part of the train’s creators. Thus I doubt they anticipated that the right combination of orbs would potentially allow passengers to do so.

So given that the Steward was acting on Amelia’s command at that point in time, it begs the question; was that line something she told it to say like when she threatened the Cat with it after losing Tulip? Or was it an already pre-existing line in the Steward’s programming that Amelia found and then merely set it to say to any passenger that interrupts its orb collecting?

In the latter case, it carries a rather curious incongruity in relation to the way the train works. Why would a Steward have such a line in its programming? Where would a passenger’s seat be? Under what circumstances would it have actually been said? Since there used to be very many Stewards for the passengers, would it have been said as a train wide message during some kind of emergency or temporary disturbance, not unlike passenger plane pilots warning people about upcoming turbulence?

If it is the former, then Amelia probably just copied from what she knows is usually said on regular trains. In that case, it was never part of a command One might have given under unknown circumstances. That would turn that line into a meta sneak peek at Amelia’s mindset; how she metaphorically never left her “seat” from when she boarded the train in her grief. How she thought Tulip would be open to going back on her progress and living in a fantasy. How she then implicitly might have projected similar thoughts onto other passengers, especially the ones that interrupt her work to recreate her old life.

Either way, what do you guys think of the line?

Cinderella’s Prince: Can you keep a secret?

Steward: Do you know anything about my life?

Cinderella’s Prince: No I do not. Good point.

they both look very lonely in a crowd of adults so I made them friends

Ok also i wanted to point out that i headcanon hopeful steward as mute and they uses body language to communicate. Idk why actually, maybe to emphasize the similarity with skykids? Im pretty sure that skykids can't communicate with spirits the same way they communicate with each other.

And what about pleading child? They need therapy and a good friend, that's it

Heres an old wip btw, i just gave up on it at some point😭

upon the heart of magic mountain 🌸🗻

from the oceanic goddess revered in the cyberpunk city on its hillside, to the stories of the ochre-feathered canary who's song hasn't been heard in years, it has been long thought by theorists that perhaps the magic imbued into this mountain was no coincidence- but rather the creation of mystical beings seeking to make a haven of sorts, a home protected by the powers that lie within this volcanic formation.
