Amelia: “When the Infinity Train appeared to me, it took on a futuristic appearance, promising a world of unimaginable technology and advancement that could potentially bring back Alrick…”

Grace: “The Infinity Train was gilded and beautiful, with a literal red carpet laid out for me, clearly beckoning to me as a star who deserved the world…!”

Tulip: “It took the appearance of a regular old train, but one heading to my destination: Osh Kosh!”

Jesse, who had the Infinity Train appear as Thomas the Tank Engine to him:

Having finally finished Book 2/3 of Infinity Train, now more than ever can I appreciate the journey Tulip took through the train in order to get her exit.

Tulip’s lessons were all about accepting change, good or bad, and forging your own path in the wake of these changes. An extensive lesson of “rolling with the punches” and doing your best to make something out of yourself from it. That’s why it’s so fascinatingly ironic that Tulip’s journey to accepting change created the biggest changes in the Infinity Train universe.

Whilst Tulip is only occasionally referenced in the next 2 books, her presence and actions are distinctly felt — beyond even Lake and their identity/journey. Without her, 1-1 would’ve never returned to being the true conductor, Amelia would’ve never stepped into the path of redemption, and the easy-to-follow guide of the train would’ve never been reintroduced.

It definitely could be argued that Jesse had a significantly easier time of the train than Tulip, having known what it was about from the beginning with 1-1’s video. Tulip had no clue about the train or her number, but somehow managed to set right dozens of wrongs.

By sorting Amelia’s whole situation out, there would’ve never been anyone to help Grace take that last step in recognising her belief in ‘the conductor’ was wrong, and allow her to complete her own redemption arc. Apex would’ve likely fallen apart sooner or later with the conflict between Simon and Grace around Hazel, but no one would’ve been there to make that push for Grace to question everything and fight to set it right.

Even without physically being there, Tulip’s actions to accept change in her life allowed her to fundamentally change others. The train allows people to change their lives for the better, but Tulip shows that becoming a better person can extend to helping others.

TLDR: Infinity Train is a fuxking sick story and I love it.

I made this for the trend that passed this weekend! I really just love the silly long choo choo show alright? And I think I’m finally sticking with an artstyle? I’m gonna go insane about it!! Get ready 😈

Currently writing a character study of Samantha. It'll be part of the series. She's a hard character to figure out but that just makes it more fun tbh

I was listening to Complicated by Avril Lavigne earlier and I think the song fits Jesse really well. Then I thought about writing a story that’s just canon, but from his perspective. Probably some before and after canon too. Then I thought about doing it for more characters; Tulip definitely, Grace probably, and Ryan and/or Min-Gi. Maybe Simon. Probably not Lake (unfortunately) because she’s the focus of a different one of my stories (We Only Broke The Train A Little Bit (More Than You) ) but I love all these characters and am Not Normal about them.

This might be obvious, but I feel like it's often misunderstood about Jesse's character.

When confronting the Apex and running away with Lake, his number does not change. They don't get his exit right away, it doesn't appear after this dramatic moment of him standing up for himself and his friend.

"But Yellow! It's about the pacing! It's about the drama of them running away!"

Wrong!

For one, Jesse's problem isn't that he can't stand up for himself. Because he can! And he shows us this!

"It looks like your punching wasn't doing much good either."

"I was yelling! It's still my turn to yell!"

He talks back after Lake mocks his approach. He puts his foot down and defends himself.

"Pft. You would."

He antagonizes Lake after the flecs outted them as a criminal. He doesn't bend to Lake's whims like someone who's spineless.

"You better not tell mom!"

He doesn't grovel for Nate not to tell their parents. Doesn't promise to make it up to him later, doesn't try to lighten this blow at all. The way someone would if they always played both sides.

Defending himself is not his problem, not really. It's not even just people-pleasing.

"Don't tell me what to do!"

"I'm not gonna be a part of anything like this. On or off the train!"

If it was? This would have been the scene Jesse got his exit. There's enough build up for it, we don't need the chase scene before it, we could still have the flex show up after Jesse's exit closed with Lake on the other side.

But it isn't.

"I've got you. We're getting out of here."

It's only after he reassures Lake that his number changes. After he promises to stay with them, to side with them.

Jesse's issues were about standing up for others. For defending other people, even when it wasn't convenient. Not about him.

This is so funny out of context

"WE ARE JUST ROOMMATES. PLATONIC. WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU THIS FOR THE LAST 33 YEARS!"

(They were actually all the ages they were in their respective series! I guess they learned time travel lol cuz they were all teenagers/young adults.)

Last night, I had a dream where there was a fanfic where all the main characters of Infinity Train only had platonic relationships between them and I was so happy because I'm not particularly invested in any of the common Infinity Train ships. They all held hands and danced in a circle?? I think they were in a band together?? Maybe?? Ryan had his guitar, anyway. He and Min-Gi were roommates and Ryan actually shouted "WE'RE NOT DATING! WE'RE ROOMMATES!" And not like in a "we're in denial" way but in a "we legitimately are platonic friends" way. Now that I think about it, the dream was really weird.

I'm in an excellent mood let's make more Book 2 textpost memes

#if it WAS created by the train that means there might be an orb for reflections like there are for other denizens#and what happens if that orb gets bumped out of place?#and if it DOES exist independently from Train then that means lake was only classified as a denizen because they weren't a passenger#and it might have always existed outside of the train BECAUSE the train created it and retconned reality to make it always exist#no matter how you slice it the whole mirror world is both fascinating to think about and so incredibly messed up and thats why I love it#infinity train#infinity train mirror world

Gotta love this very messed up show

the question of if the mirror world really reflected the regular world or if it was a creation of the train is so fucked. i know lake ultimately decides it doesn't matter if their memories are false, because their life is in their own hands now. still, i was trying to decide which option is More fucked bc i knew that would be the one Owen Dennis etc would choose. but honestly they're both so dystopian and horrible i just don't know. like, option 1: oh great, everyone's existence is tied to puppeting an unwilling person who can't be saved in a world we can't reach. option 2: oh great, if you pass through the train's chrome car, you immediately create an autonomous person who remembers being puppeted their entire lives and are now still being heavily policed to support you even though they have great cause to despise you. yikes!

Sometimes I think about how there’s a canonical … slang(?) in Infinity Train for <I would italicize this if I knew how>shredding people to death via train wheel

I was looking for out of context Infinity Train videos to remind myself what the characters sound like when I found one of those “name a better show than x” compilations. While Infinity Train wasn’t in it, Gravity Falls was. And y’know what else was? Minecraft Story Mode Season 2!!!! Technically a video game (not a show) but it brought me joy.

Kaya from my Infinity Train fic! I drew this over a year ago so I might redraw it better somepoint in the future. I just posted chapter two: https://archiveofourown.org/works/62476399/chapters/159956791#workskin

posted new Infinity Train fic that's not new because I've been working on it for at least a year: https://archiveofourown.org/works/62476399/chapters/159892666

here's a quote from chapter one: “When you said she was metal, I thought you meant, like . . .” Mr. Cosay struggled for words. “The slang word–cool, rad, all that stuff.”

"Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Cosay?" I tried.
