wacky alternate direction for Joule- make her a heated boxcar to complement Volta being a refrigerated one. They’re not as common irl but there was a famous Lionel toy based on them, and the irl basis was just as bright!

They carried potatoes, using onboard stoves to keep them from freezing in New England. Potato hauler sounds hilarious but hear me out: potato batteries are a thing. It even pairs with how citrus products are among the most famous refrigerated car products and also can be used as improvised batteries!

Not entirely sure how much they were electric-hauled irl, but they weren’t far from the northeastern electrified lines so they likely were to some degree.

(as a tragicomic bonus, these cars were lost in a yard somewhere by Penn Central and bankrupted a ton of people when most of the Maine potato crop was ruined, which fits with the popular fanon that Joule has ADHD. Losing things has a notable history with them…)

I’m partial to making the Components based on fast freight, especially if it has ties to the electric lines of the northeast US. It’s a job up there with “subway” that’s almost exclusively the domain of electric trains since the power needed to move heavier trains quickly is very hard to achieve if you’re hauling your own fuel/engine around (see how the CC 40100s were 5-6k horsepower vs “2700” and that’s low vs newer electric engines)

ughhhh it’s kind of frustrating how many tbhk fans only engage with the story on a surface level… i guess that’s the type of atmosphere fandoms administer but its sorta tiring lol, i want to talk about this story i like…

[cerbreus]

baking never feels more like science to me than when i'm trying to cobble together an intricate multi step recipe together from several different recipes and tutorials online because the recipe I'm imagining doesn't exist....

[mostly-mundane-atla]

So I learned about ati, which (I believe) is basically the concept of people born with the soul of their dead ancestor, and therefore named after him/her (regardless of gender). In-universe examples of ati in ATLA and LOK could be General Bumi II being named after Aang's friend Bumi I, Kya II being named after her grandmother Kya I, and even General Iroh II being named after his grandfather's uncle Iroh I.

BUT, I wondered, if all Avatars are reincarntions of Avatar Wan and are connected by Raava, does that mean the Avatar has his/her own ati? I headcanon that Water Tribe Avatars were still named after their deceased relative at birth (since their parents don't know their child is the Avatar yet) until they are identified as the Avatar (usually at 16). Then, the Avatar is given a new name unique to him/her, as not only does he/she have his/her own ati, but the new name is used to signify this new stage that would change their life forever. I imagined that the NWT and the SWT have both declared it illegal to name a Water Tribe child after a Water Tribe Avatar to respect their ati. This is why you wouldn't, say, find a single person in the NWT named Kuruk, or a single person in the SWT named Korra, other than the Avatars themselves.

I just want to know your thoughts on this headcanon I made.

Okay first off: i need to correct something here. The atiq is not necessarily an ancestor, just someone in the same community who has died. Your atiq can be related to you and it's pretty common that they are, but it's not always the case. (Also this is entirely stylistic preference, but the singular they is a lot more efficient than he/she either/or style pronouns. Not only is it faster to write but it's much easier to read, especially in a longer ask like this, includes those who don't use he or she pronouns, and doesn't put one gender before another. Just putting that out there.)

Second, yes, the atiq is a past life of a kind and your are considered a continuation of your atiq, but it's not your only identity. You are them, but you are also you. I could get into Inupiaq Christianity, in which the belief is your atiq simultaneously lives on through you and enjoys a peaceful afterlife just to underline this multifaceted sort "different versions, all true" approach to the nature of the soul and identity, but Inupiaq Christianity is it's own big topic and I'm not prepared to get into it.

So I'd say the concepts of having an atiq and being an avatar are not inherently the same or mutually exclusive, especially given how the series tends to play fast and loose with the idea of being an avatar. I think both can be true. Mostly because my culture's traditional spirituality, one i practice, which believes in the concept of atiq also holds the belief that just because there are two opposing concepts, that doesn't mean one of them is wrong.

it's kind of hilarious when brands like h&m have a 'sustainable' fashion line because it's like 'so you admit it? you don't think most of your clothes are sustainably produced?'

[rozaceous]

Hey! I love tcba a lot and Mariko is a fantastic character. I just wondered if there was a physical description for her floating around somewhere? I get a very vague picture from how she is written and how other characters perceive her. But aside from “dark brown/bronze hair, usually braided and tidy, probably fairly pretty (?), girl…” I got nothing for her on my head. I ask specifically because I’d really like to try doodling some fanart for her, or find some online somewhere, but that hard to do when I cant actually picture her very well.

If not describing her outright is a preference of yours though, then I completely understand too. Sometimes a lack of POV character description helps with reader immersion and adds to a story.

Just figured I would ask before I went off half-cocked and drew something that doesn’t suit who Mariko is.

wow that would be really sweet of you! (also tysm for loving tcba) @arc-haism drew some awesome art of mariko that's in the 'art for me tag' that you can find on my pinned post, if you'd like.

and there isn't so much of a physical description in the fic, i guess? i put in smaller details throughout, but i'm so burned by the 'my black hair and purple eyes' descriptions of old that i shy from it very strongly haha. it feels very self-indulgent, but i can give it a go now 💪

so we're looking brown hair, which is almost always braided in some fashion for practicality's sake. (i find having hair in my face super annoying, but also in a medical setting that's unsanitary.) for most of the fic it's a braided updo of some kind, but her starter shippuden look has a side-braid that's a little more abt form than function. it's also pretty long? bottom of the ribs in length. brown eyes (at least pre- eyeball shenanigans lmao), paler skin but not sasuke pale and def not sai pale lmao, square-ish to round-ish face shape, strong jaw. and dog teeth!

short-to-average before she hit her growth spurt (which would have been the start of the fic, so she was basically the same height as naruto and sasuke), and here is where i drop her current height as 178cm. based on some of the height charts i've found for shippuden, she's taller than all of her peers, which i think is hilarious. sadly it won't last forever. in terms of her current build, think sprinter.

accessories/clothes: all black all the time, except for when something is gray lol. those mesh shirts p much always, fingerless gloves. otherwise you can kind of go nuts, i've got her in tons of outfits. shippuden has the bell earring, which is the bell test bells, hanging from one ear, that she uses to cast auditory genjutsu.

i hope that's detailed enough? let me know if i didn't answer something you were dying to know abt tho.

[imaginarypasta]

don’t know how i’m supposed to learn how to drive with someone constantly screaming insults in my ear and trying to wrestle the steering wheel away from me but also like i’ve never driven before so

[alectoperdita]

nothing makes me more unhinged and vengeful and toxic than being forced to build a redesign I fucking loathe

[mariacallous]

There’s this one part of a project our team is working on that everyone kind of agrees is bullshit and useless but senior leadership want it and I’m trying to make it work and get started on it but it’s such bullshit.

[koops19]

I’m trying to start writing more so I might post stuff on here. Not really much of a writer but I enjoy a good story.. so why not try making one?

Humans entering space and realizing we are so small. We are mice compared to these giant races with their advanced machinery and technologies and experiences beyond us- except that we're humans. And our engineers dive into the new tech and once we learn the principles we also soon realize how Inefficient everything is. Their "microchips" are the size of cars, their storage drives are basically buildings, and they somehow store less data than ours. So, human companies take advantage, and tech starts rolling out. Massive and there's a lot of wasted space so that it can be managed with larger hands/pincers/claws/tentacles, but also so much more efficient than anything the galaxy has seen before.

Human technicians start hopping ships and upkeeping the general maintenance, the stuff that most aliens put off or don't notice because they never access the crevices of their ships. As human companies become more popular and lead the tech world in everything from warp cores to game stations ("it's so compact! How are the graphics so good?" Says a 60' tall grimbleback, holding a new VR headset that has all of its components included because it's so BIG by our tech standards), soon many things have accessibility ports for humans to be able to use as well. This means that these shiprats hoping ship to ship cause such a huge improvement in everything running smoothly, and there's a huge downtick in pests on ships because those "pests" are not only big enough and aggressive enough to bite a pitbull or a person in half, they're invasive to so many planets and humans hate nothing more than dog killing planet overrunning monsters.

All the while, from the Aliens perspective, humans are an elusive race that don't fraternize much with them. You almost never see a human as most places aren't exactly safe for the little things to run around in. They do export so much stuff though, and the custodial staff at the Central Galactic Outpost insists that there's more humans around than any other race if you just know where to look.

And sure it's somewhat known that some of the little daredevils hop ships and help out in exchange for room and board, usually without permission, but that can't be that common, can it?

Maybe your ship is running better this cycle ever since you stopped at the last station, that just means that tuneup was better than you thought. And maybe for some reason that program you were working on last night is finished when you wake up, but you're so tired maybe you finished it before you passed out. Somehow that faulty light in the galley has fixed itself as well, which is odd, but maybe the Engineer finally got to it. You'd know if there was someone else on your ship.

Right?

... You leave a little bowl of berries out as a thank you, just in case. You're not sure what humans like but you've heard they have a sweet tooth.

For Prim, Racer, U'rajya and Chen: What’s the best advice they’ve ever received?

Prim: her buire are firm believers in killing transphobes and she thinks that's a pretty good idea, actually! but also Fennec taught her how to call in kitties and that's only very slightly behind, if not tied, as far as levels of importance goes.

Racer: objectively, the best advice was "stop setting random shit on fire". but since she didn't listen to that advice whatsoever, she would vote for her girlfriend teaching her to [redacted for tumblr sensitivities]

U'Rajya: their parents taught them most of what they know about banthas! their darling Rayyan is everything to them <3 also their mom was an advocate of "don't fall for hot boys, wait for good men" (and then had some questions about the strawberries lmao)

Xunielah: hmmm. I had to think about this one! I think it would be advice from their father about being kind to everyone, since that's what first sparked Nihaan's interest in her. and that turned out well for everyone!
