#IM ALSO NOT EVEN USING HIM IN MY TEAM

[tabooiart]

are you guys tired of these yet? too bad i dont care <3 its tinky train time. why is he an observation car? ummm idk the vibes fit. his design was a little tricky for me at first because there are ZERO male/masculine coaches in stex for me to pull design language from. in the end i just decided to give him a silly lil outfit that sorta leans into the tinkerer thing. also him having The Box really doesnt make any sense in this au :( so i just decided to give him as much of a square motif as possible

[loafbud]

a sketch i did at like 5am today before i went to sleep coz i knew today had splatoween announcement energy haha im excited

[c6jpg]

well now I've basically un-prefarmed neuvillette bc I gave all his world boss drops to chevreuse LMAO

[mr-independent]

you know, its not brought up in fics often but ted is extremely well read. he doesnt brag about it, but hes read everything from f scott fitzgerald's b sides to ayn rand's doorstoppers to the sixteen book Ender series, etc etc etc. Ted reads about as much as we see Beard reading (which. in my head is a trait that was passed on, a new focus to sharpen the mind and keep him out of trouble and his mind off drugs, something Ted offered up as a coping mechanism for when his own dad died, a way to have fun and adventure and escape without ending up in jail like Ted himself had a handful of times before, scaring the bejeezus out of his ma.)

this turned into a mini fic and i lost my train of thought but point is, Ted reads So Much and more people need to pick up on this in fics please and thank you.

mutuals posting abt tpn again is reminding me of how I was like FUCKED UP obsessed with it in like 2018/19 when I was just starting middle school and I would buy every new volume each month or two when it came out and would force my best friend to listen to me give a summary of the entire series during pe class. the good old days

Ride 690: The walk home from the graduation ceremony

Pag 1

2: That day

3: While outside it was getting completely dark, for the first time in a while the three of us went home

4: while being sent off by everyone

Pag 2

1: Koga-saaaaaan

Ooon

Oi, Sadatoki, weren't you crying super hard last year too?

Are you cryin' too much, too, Hotshot?

Teshima-san, thank you so much!!

Graduation ceremony day

Are you for real!? Starting from tomorrow, Aoyagi-san really isn't coming here anymore!?

2: He'll come, right? He's just pretending it's the last time

…. no.....

He's not.... coming, Issa

Hahaha, I think!! They are, Danchiku!! Haha

… Alright....

3: Huh!?

4: What, Danchiku, for some reason I'm suddenly crying so much!? Why!?

Calm down, Issa, now that's just how you....

Kaburagi-kun...!!

Why, I'm just looking at Aoyagi-san's back gettign smaller!? It's just the same thing as always!?

Issa.... those are your feelings

Pag 3

4: The last walk home from high school

Pag 4

1: I looked back and thought about that

Pag 5

1: …. what is it, Junta

2: …. Teshima

3: …. no

4: I don't know, I wonder

5: You know, so many things happened

And I thought they might not realize right away

Pag 6

1: But they were crying

2: At the end.... Kaburagi

3: …. yeah

You saw?

Yeah

5: I was about to cry too

8: He was so stupid and reckless, it was troublesome

Haha, you took care of him well

You got attached to him!

Pag 7

1: Lately he looked forward so much to practicing with you!

2: Let's go riding, Aoyagi-san!!

Oi, this is a library room

Let's practice, practice!! That's alright, right? You can study later!!

Don't be so loud

And no, I have exams

3: Let's take exams next year!!

…. oi

Come on!! Come on!!

4: If possible, I wanted him to look forward to it before the Inter High!!

5: Right

Yeah

Pag 8

1: And what about you, Junta...?

Huh? Ah, for me? A kouhai who was almost crying?

2: Crying, huh.....ah, uhm.... parting from them felt lonely, but

I felt more like I was finally running, after being pulled

Someone special....

3: The first years , you know.... they have Onoda as a climber, and Naruko as a sprinter

No one relied on me

Just one person... who would say they admire Teshima-san's running!! I would have like that....

5: Everyone admires you

But they didn't tell you

Huh!?

6: Are you serious, someone said that!?

They didn't say it

Huuuh!? They didn't!? Then how do you know...

Because I felt it

That's too ambiguous

This is the last time the three of us will go home like this

Pag 9

2: …. Koga!

3: Junta, Aoyagi....

4: Going back home only the three of us like this - it's probably since first year that we didn't do it

Yeah, that's true....

It was the three of us when Junta made that sparkling water from the vending machine downhill explode

Wha- don't bring up these boring things.....

6: That day your uniform got all sticky...

Not mine

Mine neither

Uwa, you're so bad!!

7: …. uhm

Back then, I

Every day

Pag 10

1: I thought that I wasnìt good, that I wasn't good

4: I struggled, I insisted, I worked hard, but it still didn't do me any good

5: Back then, Kinjou-san and the other second years were getting stronger every day

And I could do nothing but confirm that distance

6: And you, in the same grade as me, were a first year joining the Inter High

Pag 11

3: Back then, when I looked up, even the ceiling felt far away

I was so far from being active in races, and I thought so many times that it was impossible for me to run in the Inter High

5: And now, I was made captain, and we got two championships in a row at the Inter High

6: Ah, that's a miracle

I can't even believe it myself

Pag 12

1: I think I'm really glad I didn't quit racing

2: I'm quitting road racing once I enter high school

Maybe I can even get a part-time job and chase after girls

3: I'm glad I kept racing

Pag 13

1: Here, this is the vending machine of Junta's incident with the drink

Waaa, what, and here I thought I would make you forget about it with a nice talk!!

I wouldn't lt you

2: Might as well!!

4: Oi, Koga, wait

Aoyagi!!

5: Here, open it!!

On your own!!

Are you kidding me.... his eyes are lighting up

6: Don't walk away!!

7: Dammit, alright, I get it

Alright, let's go again!!

8:  Our graduation's....

Pag 14

1: Champagne fight!!

Pag 16

3: Actually, back then, your bike, Aoyagi..

Yeah?

It was a good chain oil

Yeah...!!

4: I had no talent

I tried to quit biking many times

7: I was just so unhappy with wanting to be admired and noticed

Pag 17

2: But, the steps I didn't take while looking at the ceiling

3: Working hard with Aoyagi, and seeing them one by one before my eyes

Before I knew it, I was moving forward

5: It's been two years

Back then they were first years, when we lost the battle against them during training camp

6: Secretly, I really felt like “I'm getting closer to the Inter High”

8: When we were third years, Koga...

I thought I couldn't go to the Inter High unless I surpassed you

9: And I could pass you... I thought I would surpass you

Pag 18

2: I thought that

The conclusion of an overwhelming path isn't one victory of defeat

I did my best, and it's over, and I didn't realize until I looked back

It's been three years I really felt

3: Well.... this graduation might still be on the way

See ya

Pag 19

1: Thank you, Sohoku...!!

3: The next time I'll climb this slope I'm not gonna wear a uniform

5: What time is the bus, Junta?

Uhmm, 19:15, I think – ah, dammit, we have to hurry, let's run

We shouldn't have brought our bikes back home

Koga, what time is it?

You still have time!!

6: I'll go with you!!

Alright!

Pag 20

1: April

2: Cherry blossoms are dancing, and the seasons reach spring for the third time

I'm nervous...

Let's take a picture

I'm all stiff...

I wonder if there'll be scary senpai...

New first years enter Sohoku, too

life before aventurine - life with aventurine

[raginghorsegirl]

My oc Jacob and the two characters I wasn't aware of when I made him but who are suspiciously similar to him in different ways :-)

[hearties-circus]

Ohhhhh you know what would be fun for pokemon xy? If we got a legends game like a legends zygarde or something that'd fucking rock

[goldentigerfestival]

if there is one thing i will never recover from with crestoria's crossover being gone for good, it's that we'll never ever know the story behind transgressor yuri.

if there are two things i will never recover from with crestoria's crossover being gone for good, it's that leon and aegis' loyal friendship will never ever return.

[kaizokuseb]

so instead of trying to get everyone together to play dnd and commit to a night per month or something, i’m going to have my sister and nephew create characters and then design them a short, casual adventure. i never really intended to be dm, but i’m a writer and also i have the most time and energy to do the harder bit of the setup. it’s also nice and low-pressure with just the three of us playing, so i’m not stressed. i’m having ideas! it actually sounds really fun to create the game for them to explore and keep it balanced and fun for them. now i just have to do everything and wait for the right timing to play, which shouldn’t take long

[crimsongrimoire]

im about to be the most obnoxious bitch on earth about it but babygirl came home thank fucking GOD. my hardcore pregrinding was not for naught. how have i won 4 50/50s in a row. what is it about hydro bitches And Wriothesley

also team Throw The Literal Book At Em is real now thank god

[pankomako]

sometimes i think about interactions boat and i have had and things he's said to/about me over the years and it makes me feel as though i must occupy some little space in his heart. like i live in his mind rent-free the way he does for me, although not nearly to the same extent lmao.

speak of the goddamn devil i just got a steam notification he's playing tf2

anyway i never thought i'd have that kind of effect on a person, much less my favorite content creator. but it sure appears to be that way, and idk. it makes me feel special. warms my heart n all that :)

[4giorno]

underappreciated thing from the stuffpack reveal: they only said they were incorporating "nordic" design. they didnt say scandinavian 💖
