come on guys dont blame the trans men for being disgustingly transmisogynistic and forcing trans women out of their spaces :( theyre probably just like reeeally super depressed or something and theyre actually hurting themselves MORE than theyre hurting trans women. this is a normal thing to say. wont SOMEONE please think of the poor transandrophobia truthers in their hour of need

as I'm learning (too much) about mortgages and interest rates, I've had this needling bother in the back of my mind like "you know, people talk about properties as 'investments' for money growth. but with interest rates the way they are, you're paying back twice the initial cost of the property you bought. you'd need the property to keep up with doubling in value over 30 years--and then even if you sell the property, you need to buy somewhere else to live. seems like a lackluster investment."
and somehow it took until now for me to realize that big investment companies that are doing this are absolutely not taking out 30 year fixed 6.66% APR mortgage loans they are, in fact, buying properties cash-in-hand. At worst eating property tax costs year over year and likely compensating for that with renting the property. And then they get to sell it later for the entire full gain of the property's appreciation and anyway i wish the whole thing a very die.

"doing good again, angel?" he's trying SO hard to be normal about his angel while he literally always looks like a victorian woman diagnosed with hysteria after seeing a bit of bare skin around aziraphale. if aziraphale ever rolled his sleeves up it would be OVER for him he would EXPLODE and never reform out of embarrassment.

WHOS READY FOR SOME CENTENNIALS!!!!!!
unasked for explanations below once again
This set of designs is different from Ryan's because i basically just traced my old sketches and redid them digitally to give them colour so there are less design details (sorry lmao)
ANYWAY continuing with the "time-accurate" clothing choices, I'm hoping it's more obvious with loey and neas this time. You have no idea how RELIEVED i felt when i saw neas' third overhaul was in the 2000s. I love details but I have been working with suits for like 30 designs by now.
Because I did these back in october I don't really have proper ref images but if you googled men's fashion for each of their respective eras you should get pretty good results and if you don't im sorry💀
Not sure if it's obvious but they're supposed to "age" with every overhaul, yea im aware my ability to draw people older than 40 is nonexistent-
On that note, I have a more in-depth hc for how the "human" of an engine appears which would explain how loey and neas can "age" but the short version is the "human" is a combination of the maturity of an engine's mentality and the engine's actual age
I do not know enough of the Skarloey Railway lore to back my headcanons but I hc that during their early days, the SR was more strict with appearances, hence the suit jackets and whatnot (kinda like how RWS SR engines all have the same livery)
Towards the SR's later days, the change of directorship and the increasing diversity of their rolling stock led to much more relaxed regulations on appearances. The jackets that the overhaul 2 designs are holding would look similar to the jacket that overhaul 1 loey is wearing, which would bear the engine's nametag and the signature red shoulder pad designating an engine's gauge
Also the nametag and specifically the number badge were details added later when I finished my handel and petah designs, yes I love it a lot that's why i mentioend it.
Overhaul 1 neas is particularly different from overhaul 1 loey because for one they're two different decades, but also the time between his first and second overhaul was when neas had to run the line on his own (not to mention the world war woah...)
I haven't really figured out specific height hcs yet but neas and loey are around the same height as each other but grow a tad with each overhaul
ok das it for this one i think, thank yall for the wonderful reception of ryan im so happy yall loved him😭🥹also thanks for making it to the end next time it's probably gonna be handel and petah<3
