This is a distance of roughly 625 miles and we are going to assume that the speed does not include the time penalty of Spain having a different Rail Gauge than France.

At 890 miles of rail you can get New York to Chicago which would be the ideal first route, but what can you get with 625 miles that makes more since than Columbus?

Well at that distance you can get Raleigh-DC-Philadelphia-NYC- Boston

With intermediate stops in Richmond, Baltimore, New Haven, and Providence

That is a route that is not only good, but has potential to be one of the most used rail lines in the world if it were at high speeds and a cheap price

I love that I can log in to tumblr in 2024 and see supernatural trending because something gay happened on a tv show I don’t watch that has nothing to do with Supernatural.

Time is a flat circle

The one thing I’ll really miss about the AOT fandom are these damn Tumblr fics 😭

y’all don’t understanddddd plug!eren and dominican connie saved my life

Every 21st century piece of writing advice: Make us CARE about the character from page 1! Make us empathize with them! Make them interesting and different but still relatable and likable!

Every piece of classic literature: Hi. It's me. The bland everyman whose only purpose is to tell you this story. I have no actual personality. Here's the story of the time I encountered the worst people I ever met in my life. But first, ten pages of description about the place in which I met them.

Modern writing advice: Yes your protagonist should have flaws but ultimately we should root for them and like them from the beginning :)

Charles Dickens: Here is the worst ugliest rudest meanest nastiest bitch you’ve ever met in your life.

Modern writing advice: Make sure your POV character goes through a significant arc! Make sure they are changed by the narrative! Make sure they learn a lesson!

Narrators of every book of the 19th century: the lesson I learned is these people fucking suck, sayonara you freaks

Modern writing advice: It’s all about the character overcoming obstacles and learning! They learn their lesson so they can fix their mistakes and make good choices in the future! It’s a character arc! It’s called growth! Readers love it!

Everyone from ancient times through the 19th century: would you like to watch a Guy fuck up twenty times in a row

Marceline from Adventure Time is like the ultimate OC. She is a half vampire half human with Mommy and daddy issues but she has daddy issues twice cuz she had two dads.

Actually, Marceline is Half Human and Half Demon and lived through the apocalypse when she was 4 and was turned into a Vampire when she killed the vampire king

That's literally worse. This is what I was talking about lmao

also shes a famous rock star

And married to a princess

And I love her

life goes something like this: you meet the best and the worst of yourself in other people. you come to terms that you are the universe experiencing itself. you get overwhelmed at 3 am being so close to seeing through the veil. you get what you give. and then, the next morning, you do it all over again, all over again, all over again.

i open and close tumblr like it's a fridge

People can't handle some bitch with an undercut talking about pronouns well I want my rep weirder I want cis people to get scared I want to see 4D chess type of genderfuckery I want genderfluidity I want to see girlfags and boydykes fucking each other do I make myself clear

The kind of transgenderism they let you see on tv is so sanitized and palatable and holding your hand through basic concepts in the year 2022 and the cis are still mad. Well I want to take it further actually. You're weak and you won't survive the winter

can we all agree that being overdressed is a myth made up by boring stuffy people who are too worried about other people’s lives and don’t want you to have fun

conversely, can we all agree that being underdressed is a myth made up by stuffy classist people who are too worried about other people’s lives and don’t want you to be comfortable or happy

holy shit

objectively good idea

I am once again reminding everyone that the purpose of these bills is to pave the way for requiring government approval ID verification to use the internet

When you ask government to do the jobs parents should be doing, not only will they objectively do a terrible job, they will use the opportunity to take away more of your privacy and infringe further upon your rights.

dude this is random but like. my mom works at a credit union, and a while ago, this totally domestic, collared dog came up to their door and was like.... barking to get in?? it’s a small credit union so they brought the dog inside to keep it safe while they got in contact with the owner

anyway, the owner showed up, looking haggard, and was like “yeah, she keeps managing to get loose. i’m surprised she came here, she usually goes to Wells Fargo.”

and my mom was like.... what?? and the dog owner was like “yeah ever since she started getting loose, she.... always goes to banks. we can’t figure out why.”

anyway the dog is fine and (they’re gonna crate train her or something) but how bananas fucking Wild is it that this dog escaped, multiple times, specifically to go to the bank???? what the fuck

They needed to make a depawsit

it really pisses me off how easy it is to get sad and then how long and hard it is to get happy again like what the fuck man thats not fair
