they are so fruity

This response isn’t going to be as concise I’m afraid because it is after all a complex topic, but I think half of that will just be my ramblings so bear with me...

A lot of the issues I had with Train Simulator in particular were related to things not working as expected (or the functionality missing entirely), for example the direct brake on the DLC vehicle I got not even “snapping” into the brake position so the train would simply roll away when you stopped, or dumb things like the power of the dynamic brakes being all over the place and so on.

Basically the stretching and squishing happens because in a train, I’d go as far as saying that nothing at all is rigidly connected to something else, because with all the warping and strain that happens during normal operation (extreme forces at work at all times), everything would simply break and snap. The couplers and buffers on standard rail vehicles work together (except if you live in the US, where for some reason they seem to go only with combined coupler-buffer designs which is more common for railcars here but I digress...), so when the train stops, the buffers need to “dampen” the force with their springs as the cars bump into each other due to different individual brake speeds/power. A coupler cannot take pushing forces, since it has articulated hinges. Buffers cannot take pulling forces though, since they aren’t connected between the cars (they only touch 😳👉👈). That’s the coupler’s job, and in the “at rest” state there will be a little bit of slackness in the coupler’s joints - so that when the train starts moving, the coupler’s joints are pulled taut and therefore dampen the pulling force a little to not make too big of a jolt (and once again, rip the train apart).

There’s actually an important part you misunderstood about the indirect brake (and I can’t blame you, it can be a bitch to wrap your head around if you don’t have someone who knows that stuff explain it to you and show you how it works on a real vehicle). The indirect brake is also called the automatic brake so...

1) it’s indirect because what the brakes actually do is kinda their own thing and "abstracted” from what the operator or the rest of the train is doing and

2) it has to be that way because it must automatically engage if it “notices” the air leaving the main air line very suddenly

It’s really difficult to have any mental image of all the stuff I’m about to explain so have an actual image first:

The main air line (yellow) is not directly connected to the brake cylinders (squiggly line box with a red portion). It is connected to “auxiliary air storage containers” (pale blue. sorry for the weird terms I’m making up, I genuinely don’t know what they’re called in anything except german so I’m just literally translating the words), which will always be full while the main air is full. So they basically always make sure to stay full of that pressurized air, and it’s a one-way exchange there, since they only take air from the main line. They’re really just storage containers. In the image you can see a very simplified schematic of a locomotive on the left, connected to a very simplified, generic rail vehicle on the right via a coupled main air line.

There’s an extremely important component right next to the auxiliary storage tanks, and that’s the control valve. It’s not really visible in the graphic above but... It has a little system of its own small-ish auxiliary containers that are in perfect equilibrium during one of the two default states (”brakes loose” or “brakes engaged”). This valve is a sort of junction between the main air line, the auxiliary storage container, the brake cylinders, and last but not least - the outside world. The equilibrium is essentially determined by comparing the pressure inside the main air line with the pressure inside the auxiliary storage container. Since air can only go INTO the container from the main air but not the other way, the auxiliary container retains its pressure no matter what happens in the main air line.

If there is a sudden change in pressure at the main air line opening of the control valve junction, this will throw the control valve’s equilibrium off if it happens quickly enough. The pressure in the main air line is now suddenly a lot lower than in the auxiliary container. The control valve hates that. And it immediately starts acting: it tries to restore the equilibrium by letting the air out of the auxiliary container, in a direction where it actually can go: towards the brake cylinders. As long as the pressure is different, it will keep releasing air from the auxiliary container. The brake cylinders, when filled with air, will smush a metal sheet against metal coils, and that makes the brake engage.

When releasing the brake, the air cannot go back into any of the containers or lines by the way, and is dumped outside into the open air by the control valve. It's important to know here that the air going from the main air line directly to the open air outside is something that should not happen in a freight train at any point except at the engine. There's only one source of pressurized air in a train, and it's typically the engine's compressor. The thing you mention about the pressure in the main line dropping quickly and evenly is impossible because of that reason, and that's intentional. When the air leaves only in one spot (so typically, the very first vehicle), it takes quite a while to actually propagate that pressure loss across the entire train to its end. One thing I didn't mention yet about the brakes' control valve is that it has a "insensitive range", aka a range of pressure difference that it will "allow" before attempting to equalize. It's between 0.4 and 0.7 bar, so you can sneakily fill or empty the main air line within these values over time if you need to adjust the overall pressure or to make up for gradual pressure loss due to minor air leaks across the train.

On the other hand, if you want it to react, you need to make sure you overcome this insensitive range.

So any time the driver operates the brake levers inside the engine, he basically sets a "pressure goal" and the many valves inside the train will attempt to reach this goal as "abruptly" as possible to actually get the control valves to pay attention to it. Anything that happens as the result of the lever operation is therefore actually controlled by the control valves of the brake equipment on the individual vehicles. As the driver, you merely give them an "order" by lowering the pressure abruptly enough for them to hopefully take notice.

The only times where the source of pressure loss/gain is not the engine (or more specifically, an action of its driver), it's because something went wrong. Typical causes are:

Train ripping apart, thus disconnecting the main air line

Safety systems on the engine, like the train control systems or deadman valve triggering

Air hoses tearing or bursting

A safety mechanism on the car getting triggered and releasing air directly from the main line through an "emergency valve"

Problems with the coupling (insulation rings missing, causing air leak at the main line hose connection, or the turncock not being closed correctly, etc)

Obviously you want none of those things to happen because they are exclusively bad things, but they're also the reason why the indirect air brakes on a train have to work this way - to automatically stop it if something goes wrong. That also means that the driver has to immediately support any sudden main air pressure loss he notices with setting the brake levers to the "fast" braking position, because otherwise the engine's compressor will attempt to compensate for the loss and that would slow down the pressure loss - in the worst case, that would lead to the brake control valves not picking it up and the brakes not engaging. (All the other brake settings will lower the air pressure in the main line but at the same time, the compressor will have to pump more pressurized air into the line, since the air being transferred from the brakes' storage tanks into the brake cylinders causes an additional pressure consumption as they suck in new air to refill themselves, and if you don't compensate for that, it could lead to insufficient remaining pressure to adjust the braking amount or for repeated braking maneuvers when you're going downhill and need to adjust the speed or even fully stop.)

That was probably a lot more in-depth than you even wanted, but like I said the whole process is pretty complex and explaining only half of it makes it only more confusing imo. As a disclaimer, this is all specific to freight rail vehicles used here at the Austrian Railway, and doesn't mention foreign systems, some older/rare component variants, or passenger car specific systems.

@eject91

Gosh I absolutely cannot stand railway sims (not even Train Simulator!!!!) because they simply don't implement some of the most basic aspects of operating an actual train, which actually makes playing them well almost impossible (or even just not derailing honestly....) unless you turn off all the realism features and basically go full arcade mode.

My gripes aside, G and P are two of the three brake "modes" that railway vehicles can have. (The letters can be different for other languages btw! The G stands for the german word Güterzug aka freight train and the P means Personenzug aka passenger train. Those are kinda outdated terms honestly since the distinction in their use is no longer this clear-cut, but changing them now would lead to chaos and probably the downfall of reality as we know it.)

Both G and P have the same strength of braking. The difference is how long it takes to engage and release the brakes.

Assuming a complete release (refill of the main air line): P brake mode will release fully pretty quickly, usually within a couple seconds. G brake mode will gradually and slowly release, taking somewhere between 30 seconds and a full minute (or more).

Both modes engage pretty quickly (within a couple seconds at most), but reaching the full brake strength will take substantially longer with G mode.

Releasing and engaging fast is something you want for short, lightweight trains like passenger trains, or on trains that have cars with evenly distributed brake power. But a lot of the time, G is the only viable option - the slow release/engage prevents stretching/squishing the train too much, as well as preventing sudden jolts from a car already starting to move before the car behind it has released sufficiently. These can destroy your couplers and rip your train apart. Another reason to use G is to stop the cars from "riding up against" your engine(s) when you stop the train. Since the brakes are operated indirectly by releasing air from the main air line and this line is connected throughout the entire train, it can take a long time until the cars in the back also got the memo that you want to stop. So you'll want to put the first couple cars and the engine into G, and the rest in P, for example. When you stop now, the front of the train's braking will be delayed enough that the faster engaging brakes in the back can slow down your "tail" in time.

I hope this explains it well enough? But like I said I'm not sure of how much use this real world info is in railway sim games because it all depends on the implementation.

Random thoughts that don't hold a post so I put them here pt4 :

(btw if anyone has requests I'm open 👉👈.)

- You coming into Teyvat but the alphabet is different, so you can't understand anything at all. "I'ma offer that book to Diluc, I'm sure he's going to like it." "Your grace, it's an erotica-". You'll always have a personal translator with you, and you'll be teach the alphabet, since their God can't read.

- You know vtubers where they use a virtual avatar and move them with motion capture, imagine that with genshin's models, and somehow the characters see that. So their God can not only control them but also transforms as them??

- When you play the characters they can't get hurt, well they can-, but they wouldn't feel it, since you're making them aware it's a video game, suddenly the pain isn't real anymore. Ofc, when they "die" its still very weird and a bit unsettling, but they know you're going to revive them.

- Self indulgent but I had to reach a mountain to meet zhongli, and I couldn't stop falling. So now I imagine him standing peacefully till he hears swearing and Aether's body hitting every rocks.

- Talking about falling, when you let them free fall, there's two types of persons, those who have trust in you to use the glider before they hit the ground, and the others who trust you but they're still falling to their death, and panic inside. I'll let you imagine who is who.

- While they are self aware, I think they'll kinda forgot they have someone that do their voice, if you play in English just think about their reaction to the memes like kazoo Xiao or Childe's awesome covers, would probably laugh or traumatized.

sugawara x all right 🍑? 🥺👉👈

work is kicking me rn so this is the best i've got i'm sorry 🥺

words: 543

cw: fem!reader, pregnant!reader, suggestive, insecurities, husband!sugawara, minors dni

ever since you got pregnant, sugawara could keep his hands off of you. he had always been insatiable, his high stamina coupled with his teasing nature was always a deadly combination. but with your body changing day-by-day it’s like he had a new hunger inside him.

this morning started like any other. curled up in your husband’s embrace, a hand protectively rubbing on your big belly. you’re awakened by suga’s hardening cock pressed against your backside. how could he not be tired after last night? you were flattered that your husband still found you attractive when you felt like a mess the entire time. it was hard to feel pretty when you felt like a stranger in your own body.

“kou?” you ask, voice already wavering. damn your stupid hormones. suga hums behind you, hand still on your stomach. you’d turn around to face him if you could, the massive belly in front of you messed with your mobility. “do you really think i look pretty like this? i just feel gross and tired all the time…”

suga tenses behind you, thoughts running through his head. did he not praise you enough? make you feel wanted and beautiful all the time? “i think you look amazing, baby,” he gently kisses your shoulder, pulling you closer to him. “i’ve always thought that and i feel it even more now.”

“how can you mean that?” flopping on your back, the tears are already starting to form and you wish you had the power to will them away. but they flow so freely down your face. “look at me, kou, i’m huge. i can’t even remember the last time i put makeup on or even did my hair. i don’t get what you see in me…”

suga takes a few seconds to drink in the sight of you—splayed out on the bed, wearing nothing but one of his old t-shirts and your panties because being pregnant meant you hated wearing more clothes than you needed to for some reason. he liked it that way, it made it easy for him to bury himself between your legs when you’ve had a stressful day. sometimes he’d run a bath for you and his fingers would somehow end up slipped inside you.

“i can show you how i feel, love,” suga says, sparking arousal in the pit of your stomach. despite your insecurities, he never failed to make you feel wanted.

he kisses you tenderly, hands roaming all over your body. pregnancy has made you more sensitive than ever, more receptive to his touch. he wanted to keep you this way forever. lips against your skin, mouth fills with praises. “you’ve been going through so much for us and i wish i could alleviate some of that stress,”

he removes himself from your side, hovering over you as his hands near your soaked panties. “maybe i haven’t been clear to you or maybe you just don’t believe me,” suga mumbles, spreading your legs so he can sit between them. “but i think you’ve never looked more beautiful than you do right now.” you can feel him kissing up your legs, inching closer and closer to your core. “and i’ll drill it into your pretty head if i have to.”

I can't stop think about the image of Wakasa and Benkei living together with reader (who is benkei's girlfriend) and them decide to invite Waka to their bed.

First of all, sorry for my english, it's not my first langguage so it cost me a bit to write. Because of that, this is a drabble, not a long one shot.

I really want to write some things in english, but i need to say that i don't take request in this moments because it's difficult to me to write in other langguage. Maybe I can translate some of my spanish one-shots and upload here 👉👈

Warnings: smut, implied threesome, drunk sex (all is consensual), little daddy kink??, breeding kink, some dirty talk, petnames (use of princess and bunny)

Pairing: benkei x fem!reader x wakasa

Word count: 354 words

Imagine be fucking with Benkei, his long and thic dick hitting you over and over. He says you that you're so beautiful, so perfect, that he loves you so much and he wants to make you the mother of his children. You're moaning so loud, you can't hide the pleassure.

Then, you two heard a knock in the wall, followed by a grunt. It comes of Wakasa's bedroom.

"You two have two options. Shut the fuck up or let me join" you heard.

Benkei and you look at each other, a little smile appears in your face. Maybe it's the alcohol but you find the idea of having the two men inside of you very attractive. Benkei knows your smile, and smiles back.

"Do you want it? My little bunny wants his cock?" he kisses you in your neck, rubbing your clit carefully. You tremble, moaning again because his touch, and nod.

"Y-Yes daddy... I want it" you whisper. Then, Benkei pinches your clit and bites your neck.

"What a greedy girl ...I'm not enough to you? You need other dick to make you feel satisfied?" he smiles in your neck, and then looks at the wall, calling his friend meanwhile he takes your body and place your back in his chest. He opens your legs when Wakasa enters the room, only with pants, confused. He doesn't expected that his little joke end like this, but when he looks at you, bitting your botton lip, your eyes full of lust and your brilliant cunt closing in nothing, he feels his hard dick pressing in his pants "C'mon little girl, tell him what you want" says Benkei.

"W-Waka...please, fuck me" you whisper, your hands opening your lips to let Waka see your wet cunt "I need you..." you heard a laugh in your back. Benkei strokes your tits.

"Do you heard that? The lady is waiting, Wakasa" he says.

He doesn't have to tell twice. Wakasa pull off his pants, his hard cock finally free. He gets on the bed, smiling at you.

"Hope you're prepared, princess. I've been waiting for this so long..."

Can I request the brothers and (maybe the now datables-) with a mc who has a kinda resting bitch face but is really sweet and very innocent :D?

🖼 A/N: I mentioned it before but it was a lot of fun to write. “Resting bitch face” is an expression that doesn't really have a translation in my language, so I had to do some research and hope the information is correct or this is all going to be really weird. 

Anyway thanks for requesting, anonie dear! I hope you like it, however, I will post the now datables separate from the brothers. Also Mammon and Belphie’s part is kinda short. Sorry 👉👈

Part two here!!

Lucifer

This demon would find it irritating at first, to be honest. He prides himself on knowing how to unravel people and see what they feel just by looking into their eyes, as if examining their souls.That's why Lucifer is always described as scary and intimidating among students; he is able to anticipate problems and scold anyone who has done something wrong, all while keeping a closed expression on his face. And even Lucifer has this closed expression that makes a strong impression on people, but the difference is that if you or anyone else looks deep into his eyes then you will notice the whirlwind of feelings inside him.

As the demon responsible for you and your safety, you spend a lot of time together and he can see that this “facade” or “mask” is something unintentional, after all you are literally smiling with videos of pets. And so he's thinking about how to make you smile or laugh more often and he won't give up finding out. You can't blame him for wanting to see you without the expression of anger or disinterest, after all he can see your sweet personality and hear the sound of your innocent laughter.

Mammon

You've just met and Mammon already thinks you hate him because of the expression on your face, his voice is hesitating as he shows you all of Devildom and the House of Lamentations because he doesn't want to bore you more than necessary. He doesn't even want to be around you, but he's your guide. And with time he'll accept your resting bitch face without being afraid around you. Though he'll probably try not to piss you off or call you human that much if you don't like the nickname, after all he has a sense of self-preservation sometimes.

Leviathan

Even though he knows you're a powerless human, Levi can't help but feel intimidated and weak under your stare of pure disinterest. No matter how many times he sees you interacting and helping his brothers with something, demonstrating that you actually have a totally sweet and shy personality just like him, Levi just thinks of you as an untouchable anime character and whenever the two of you interact he stutters and looks away. Eventually he becomes confident enough to look you in the eye and spend time with you without wanting to run away. Levi thinks you're super cool with that expression.

Secretly, he thinks you're kind of kuudere.

Satan

I mean, he's also pretty serious because he wants to hide his anger so he's able to understand right away that you're just like him, masking your feelings, or that you have that expression without really realizing it. Satan doesn't really care but he thinks your resting bitch face is so cute. Demons are afraid to talk to you, to get close to you, or even to plan an attack against you, even if you are just a human with no power or influence over them. And he's probably going to want to be your friend because you've caught his eye and, like his father Lucifer, he spends time trying to make you laugh or express any other emotion.

Asmodeus

He loves things he can unravel. Asmo has probably met some people who also had a resting bitch face and he loves to get close to them and walk past the facade. Most are always so friendly, just like you and he values your friendship a lot. And yes, he'll probably hug you and jump with happiness when you finally smile, when you laugh or express anything other than your hard, uncompromising gaze. He can go so far as to try to take you to a party and celebrate, if you don't want that you'll have to tell him.

Beelzebub

Beel himself doesn't seem to be an approachable person, always wearing a closed expression that some might mistake for anger. But those who really know him know that Beelzebub is a demon with a huge heart, always thinking about his family and always being the one responsible for keeping them together. He knows his own emotions well and can easily face you and accept you for who you are, including your resting bitch face, completely and without telling you how intimidating or scary you look.

He doesn't see a problem with that. But he certainly thinks of it as a kind of charm, after all it's not every day you meet a human like you.

Belphegor

He kind of understands you. Belphie always has this tired expression on his face, like he doesn't care about anything, and some people find it unpleasant and rude.He knows you've probably heard some people tell you to smile more or express yourself more, so he'll be there for you if someone says something that makes you uncomfortable.

And like Beel, I see Belphie accepting you very quickly. After all, he loves you and your sweet personality, and he wouldn't ask you to change. He loves you just the way you are.

I couldn’t leave an ask on your other account, but!! I wanted to thank you for those tags you left on those two fics of mine shdkdkdksld because SAME 😭

My god, writing them and realizing how perfect they are?? And that they don’t exist??? Albedo and Tighnari, of all people…. *sigh*

I’m glad you enjoyed them though, despite the heartache I gave you…. 👉🏼👈🏼

To my followers, I’m gonna go on a bit of a rant out of love. If you like Genshin Impact and fanfiction, check @niicevibe out, they’re amazing! (Slight nsfw mention)

Dude I was writing those tags at 2am so I couldn’t explain at length but here is exactly what I love about your writing;

Even the premise of wondering how human Albedo is, biologically. I’ve seen a couple wrote about it for Scaramouche but not Albedo!

Your realistic inclusion of awkward moments. It makes me 20x more immersed

You write them very in-character: I literally hear their voice when reading

Your choice of dialog, it’s how people really talk! The length, the word choice, the amount of Rizz or lacktherof. Also your dialog to description ratio is golden

Your characterization of the reader- it matches perfectly with how I would respond in those situations. I have a passion for the world that isn’t related to plants but it was super easy to translate it to that so I can fit into Nari’s reader. The empathetic and generous nature of Bedo’s reader is an aspect that I see in myself and I just had to focus on it.

Your description of clothes. In most fics authors want to jump to their favorite part so they go “and suddenly the clothes were gone”, not bothering to mock how RIDICULOUSLY ELABORATE GENSHIN MAKES THEM (pain in the neck for artists) besides, it’s a part of the character’s personality!!

Listen. I almost never read long fics because in tumblr it’s easy to lose your place on a post. But the timing yours have, at a pace where it feels like it’s happening as fast as things in this world? Blessed.

Fr are you a fully published author just masquerading on here

Your transitions felt smooth, I almost never felt like things were too fast or too slow.

Your depiction!!! Of emotions on the face and natural reactions!!! I’m talking about Tignari’s blank stare as he recalls something traumatic, I’m talking about Albedo’s face slowly shifting from emotionless to any of his emotions as if you could see it bloom inside of him- I LOVED IT SO MUCH

I’m just. A sucker for soft intimate and gentle stuff. And you 10000% delivered on that

Like homeboy I couldn’t sleep for another hour from the heartache I had about these characters not being real. I don’t think fanfic has ever done that to me before. (This is a thank you, not a you cause me agony btw)

You may or may not find fan art in your inbox some time in the vague future 👉👈 Thank you so much for providing this content (FOR FREE??) you’re so talented and I appreciate you so much 💗
