Had my suspicions but I have finally confirmed it this morning: The rival Pokémon Go team I have been beefing with, whose gym's total annihilation I have incorporated into my morning routine, is actually a group of local elementary school students

The airplane from Bilakuten

For the first time since I saw the walkaround Chuck E Cheese (circa 2006), I have wept out of fear for a character design.

Why do you want to hurt me? What did I do to you?

AO3 chapter links continue to be broken on Tumblr, so I guess this is the new format for how we're doing things!

I'M SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY! I'm really hoping that life stuff will calm down now (summer has a lot of birthdays and events going on for me) so I can get back to writing chapters more often than every 2-3 months. :') But here's Chapter 32 of TPSC! Where our Gay Trains get a new cameo OC friend to cameo, and also attempt to play a social deduction game.

[marsmarvel02]

Well hey! Thanks for stopping by. For like only 4 hours, we managed to draw some good Mario Kart food! I'll be finishing the rest later!

[marsmarvel02]

Um... I'm on my computer and my camera roll is empty.

This becomes even more interesting when you realize that Starlight Express was born from a failed attempt to adapt the Railway Series in the ‘70s.

What would Andrew Lloyd Weber try to do with the Tugboat Series?

Dude i just found out

Meanwhile on a paralel universe. Tugs had 12 model seasons, 12 CGI seasons, and a reboot.

Also the collection of books called The Tugboat Series...

And Toby, let’s just say he's C I R C L E

i’m in no position to make fun of merch i don’t even own, but the fact is that i will probably make fun of Spherical Toby until the end of time

more of “diesels doing Cat Things”

[marsmarvel02]

shoddily drawn tugs

[marsmarvel02]

how to ignore your annoying coworker 101: just do The Wheelhouse Thing and you won’t be able to hear him

[marsmarvel02]

to get back to the original tugs, here’s a truly accursed kiddie ride. i feel like it steals riders’ souls, and i’d pay real money to obtain a time machine and see one of these in person (from a safe distance, of course).

"Hey Zug how do you think captain Zero moves around? You know being a megaphone and all,"

"Um..." *Zug looks over to see Zebedee staring at him angrily*

"Uhhhh...Magic, Zip"

"Ohh that makes sense :D"

the stars are just watching this exchange over the jetty and trying not to laugh

[marsmarvel02]

found this truly bizarre little artifact from a publicity packet for tugs. the only context i have for this is that a kid wrote to the stars and someone responded in-character as top hat? kinda sweet, but mostly i’m impressed that this tugboat is dexterous enough to not only type, but write his own signature.

[marsmarvel02]

Top Hat sinks and gets reborn as a liner. He becomes twice as insufferable.

imagine the emotional rollercoaster that the star fleet probably goes through. sth like “oh no— oh okay— oh no.”

[marsmarvel02]

Devious, man, devious.

Honestly curse the Zero fleet for having such a limited colour palette and fedoras. Those are like, the 2 banes of my existance to draw smh

[marsmarvel02]

huge storm/flood hits the city and it doesn't drain away?

one of the lucky few tugs (probably zip tbh) who didn’t need repairs and stayed afloat wonders if they can go into the city now that it’s flooded. everyone else immediately tells them “no”
