I think I like the serious Yuichi look. Cause then I can make him like..golden retriever personality. He's silly on the inside and serious on the outside. Yeah. Yeah I like that.

We all know how I feel about romance. However, one near almost always exception to this rule is in westerns.

Specifcally, when the romance is between a gunfighter/outlaw and the woman. Because 99.9% of the time, the story is "I have taken in this sad wet cat of a man who is capable of great murder and because he's Decent Guy Who Must Repay His Debts but lacks any form of useful skill beyond murder, he promptly offers to kill the resident pain in my ass". and the moral quandrary she must answer is "am I still committing murder if I let him do it FOR me as an act of LOVE"?

And the answer is almost always "God is a little fuzzy on the deets, but this guy has pissed off a lot of people and no one is going to press charges"

The Wagons West series of books by Dana Fuller Ross [pseud] contained 24 volumes, and I recall my father having 3-4 of them in the late 1970s-early 1980s. Here are ten of the titles at a thriftstore.

I wish people would stop talking about "World War III" as if it's guaranteed to happen. Like it's just the natural upcoming progression of the human race. You should not want it to happen. The US and the Israel colony project keep kicking at other countries in a blatant attempt to start a wider regional war, and we cannot keep acting like this is something either of them should just be doing

We as a population need to keep asking for this to stop, for Western nations to stop bringing violence to other countries for reasons that don't make any sense to the public. "But they could attack us any minute?" But didn't we attack them first? The only way this is going to get better before it gets worse is if we are all vocal about criticizing Western leaders for enabling the colony. Everybody should care about the Middle East right now: World War III has been treated as an inevitability, even a meme, for far too long, and it's going to be used as a justification of escalating regional violence. The only way that'll stop is if we, all together, point out the US's meddling and destruction in other countries and go, "Hey man, this fucking sucks; stop that"

5.31.24 Block him 🙅‍♀️, Study Hard 📚, & Perseverance 🏆

Block him - block him in the spiritual sense, maybe eventually no contact, but for now no deep convos, no what should've been/could've been, hang out only when you want, no sex, only casual like he never meant anything

Study Hard - Study schedule has to be made and stuck to with consequences and rewards.

Perseverance - you can do this just keep going. Keep trying, use this platform to get out the feelings and post the progress and everything!

steam engines REALLY fail as a social metaphor when you actually see the details of why they were banned from tunnels and New York City. They were genuinely noxious and dangerous especially when steep grades and prolonged slow speeds were involved and people would just get left in horrible smoke clouds and nearly asphyxiate and temps got unbearable. There is this whole passage just going on and on about how awful it was in Great Northern’s Cascades tunnel in the steam era to make them electrify it

(Malicious use of this and characters passing out in long tunnels is a thing in my sacriligious rewrite for a reason)

Meanwhile de-electrification was for economic reasons largely related to governments putting railroads in lose-lose situations in the US and it electrification got set back in the UK due to government defunding. Electric trains are about the epitome of something that wins in a legitimate meritocracy but easy gets screwed by institutional forces. I just get so fixated on how frustratingly close but misdirected that aspect of the show is. It had legitimate potential to have a meaningful message train media doesn’t push much and a lot of people don’t know much about but nope gotta bend to dated cliches instead.
