The trains the E10 will replace

Following the announcement of a new Shinkansen type due to enter service on the Tôhoku Shinkansen in 2030, let's have a quick look at the oldest trains on the line, that will be replaced.

The E2 is the oldest high-speed train type that JR East owns, and many examples have already been retired. Built for the slower Jôetsu route to Niigata, they operate the Yamabiko and all-stop Nasuno services.

The E10s will also replace E5 sets. This sounds unreal to me, the E5 is the pinnacle of Shinkansen, still the only train running at 320 km/h in Japan (coupled with the E6, when the couplings work), and still young, having been introduced in 2011! Granted, by 2030, the first E5s will be nearly 20 years old, but they're probably not going to disappear completely in one go.

🟠 E5: Pre-Pregnancy Clothes

Laundry day.

Mickey sorts through his newly washed clothes, picking them out of the hamper one by one, and folding them neatly on the bare mattress. Shirts. Pants. Socks. Boxers. Pick, fold, repeat. The sheets and covers are still in the wash, and since they always take a while to get clean, he’s got a good chunk of time to kill.

Time to get his shit together.

“Fuck.” He mutters to himself, carefully setting another warm shirt down onto the bed. “I can’t be wearing this shit too much longer.” He stares down at it contemplatively, his shoulders tensing. It’s only been a few days since he and Ian went down to the clinic, and found out that he was pregnant. Seven weeks along, the doctors said. Eight weeks now. Over halfway through the first trimester. “I’m gonna be too big.”

Mickey’s been dealing with the news well… the best way he knows how. At first, he was scared… then he was angry… but, after the dust settled, and all of the emotions passed, he just stopped thinking about it altogether. As far as he’s concerned, if he just soldiers through the morning sickness and goes on as though nothing’s changed, he won’t have to deal with it at all. He doesn’t want to talk about it… so he and Ian don’t talk about it. He refuses to pay attention to the way that he’s eating, to start getting more rest, or do any of the other things that the folks at the clinic recommended for him. He doesn’t want Ian to touch him, or be all sappy with him. There’s nothing to be sappy about. He does all of the same things that he’d been doing before… or as much of it as his body will allow… convinced that he can go on this way until he’s too pregnant to ignore it anymore.

“I’m… I’m gonna be too big.” He says again. Staring down at that shirt… a shirt that he’s only owned for less than a year, all of the thoughts and feelings that he’s been trying so hard to suppress come pouring out of him. Even standing a foot away from the bed, he can already see the curvature of his stomach jutting out just below his line of vision. It’s growing so fast. All of that worry and angst gushes from his pores like sweat, clinging to his skin… and, for the first time since the day that he and Ian found out about the baby, he speaks about it out loud. “I’m already so big! I’m… I’m not getting new clothes.” His hands trembling, he tosses the shirt back into the hamper, as if to reverse time. “Fuck this. I’ve gone this long without having to buy any new shit. Eight weeks, and my stuff still fits. Eight fucking weeks!” Turning his back to the bed, he takes a breath and stares at the wall, going back to that disconnected place that he’d been in for the last few days. “I get too big, I’ll… I’ll just wear Ian’s shit. I don’t gotta worry about that.”

That familiar numbness washing over him once again, he sits down on the exposed mattress—his bare ass against the soft fabric. He’s done with the laundry now. He’s done. Whatever’s left of it is going to be Ian’s problem.

Enneagram Social Instinct (SO)

Summary of the Social Instinct:

Key words: connection, contribution, participation, adaptation, involvement, mirroring, attunement, cooperation, reciprocation, accommodation

(note: there's a common misconception about the social instinct being correlated to being extroverted or social. This is not the case, introverts (cognitively) can be a social subtype and even the most reserved or quiet individuals. The social instinct is simply the instinctual drive to connect, engage and contribute to others. In some cases, social subtypes can be most prone to social anxiety due to the heightened sensitivity of their position in the world)

Main concerns:

Maintaining the sense of value gained from participating in activities with others (be it group, family, community, friends, colleagues, etc)

to be part of something larger than themselves (social media is a great example of the social instinct, because we all innately are looking to satiate that need for contribution and involvement)

Main focuses:

to establish a social standing/position in society

building personal value, sense of accomplishment and security with others

to know what is going on in the world/community; can manifest as gossiping, world news, celebrities, events, politics, etc.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Social subtypes are sensitive and attuned to the hierarchical social structure and group norms; emphasis on groups; 'out-groups', 'in-groups'

Have the capacity to form and sustain relationships over a long-period

comprehension of one's position and place (e.g 'am I a loner? Am I accepted? do I have value here?, I feel like an outcast, what do we have in common? Are we close? etc')

nuances of social environments, etiquette, cues, boundaries, status and power, behaviour, etc

being able to understand and sense impact of actions on others

What this can manifest as:

desire for acclaim/fame, attention, popularity, recognition, success, honour, leadership, appreciation, to have high social status, etc

How the Social instinct may manifest when unhealthy/distorted:

Antisocial behaviour, resentment over society and people, anxieties and self-defeating behaviours, overly preoccupied about self-image (to others), fear of exclusion or being devalued, avoidance of social endeavours, cynicism and distrustfulness, etc.

The Social instinct, however, is actually something much more fundamental. It is a powerful desire, found in all human beings, to be liked, approved of, and to feel safe with others. On our own, we are rather weak and vulnerable and can easily fall prey to a hostile environment. We lack the claws, fangs, and fur of other animals, and if we did not band together and cooperate with each other, it is unlikely that our species, or we as individuals, would be able to survive. Being able to adjust ourselves to others and be acceptable is a fundamental, survival based human instinct.
