Southbound Floridian

Later this spring, on May 2nd, I'll be presenting to the Blackhawk Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society in Lockport, Illinois: On the Eve of Staggers: Some Midwest Roads in the late-1970s. Here's one image from the talk—a southbound Amtrak Floridian is seen here at Clear Creek, Indiana. The line was the Louisville & Nashville at the time, but only six years earlier was still Indiana's own railroad, the Monon.

The locomotive in charge today is E9A number 408 (built in 1956, formerly of the Milwaukee Road, numbered 201C and later 31C). And I had to look it up, but apparently that's a 1967 Chevrolet half-ton pickup truck.

I just got the tpb of the power fantasy, I noticed that the peace sign (which is made up of the semaphore signals for N and D, standing for nuclear disarmament) is put into focus right before Valentina destroys a bunch of nukes and I thought this was an interesting detail and I’m wondering if this was intentional.

semaphore fans: is this acceptable to read as "frog" or would it be better with the "letters mode" flag in front? 🐸🐸🐸

Here’s the problem with the goddamn X-Men: their arch-enemy is a guy who can control metal with his brain. “I hate all of you,” Tony says, once Wolverine manages to slice Tony’s dented helmet open like a sardine can.

Tony has a problem with some of their allies’ enemies (chp. 1)

i also run into a funny thing, dating in LA, where people are either like, "oh yeah i also love watching movies, i can't wait to see [upcoming slop]," or they're like "oh, that theater you like is actually sub-par, its programming is too obvious, it's not showing enough underground films." it's either high or low... where is my mid queen

A poem by Robert Frost "Acceptance" Robert Frost

When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud And goes down burning into the gulf below, No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud At what has happened. Birds, at least, must know It is the change to darkness in the sky. Murmuring something quiet in its breast, One bird begins to close a faded eye; Or overtaken too far from its nest, Hurrying low above the grove, some waif Swoops just in time to his remembered tree. At most he thinks or twitters softly, “Safe! Now let the night be dark for all of me. Let the night be too dark for me to see Into the future. Let what will be be.”

could you tell us more about cassiel and where he's from?

hehe gladly!!

cassiel lives in the year 2099 in Neo Theseus, which is a project belonging to my friend @peachdelta! he's making a wiki for it that i'll link when it's done lol. cassiel is the head of the Atropos family, which... really just consists of him by himself. it's one of the governing bodies of neo theseus. he's not literally an angel; he just has heavy tech mods that are styled similarly to his father's.

speaking of cassiel's father, cas is a slightly botched clone of his parent, dove. dove was not a particularly present father, leaving most of cassiel's care in the hands of autogears - robots without free will or personality profiles. cassiel would have ended up much differently if it weren't for the influence of his bodyguard, semaphore. going against dove's wishes, semaphore taught cassiel how to be human, despite not being human themself. it's entirely thanks to them that cassiel has any distinction between right and wrong, developing a gentle and timid personality - with just a streak of mischievousness.

(art + semaphore belong to @enamega!! they are sooo brothers...)

about a decade ago, dove was assassinated. as dictated in his will, cassiel immediately underwent an invasive surgery to replace half of his face with wiring that would connect to dove's old mask. when the mask is affixed to cassiel's face, an AI built in dove's likeness speaks to him, dictating his decisions in regards to the atropos senate. so, basically, cassiel is nothing but a figurehead as his father continues to govern.

neo theseus is a multimedia project, delta and i have done some work on games in the universe n stuff so im hoping we'll be able to share more in time!! :3
