Bells hells eyes !!
@quiddie YOU SNEAKY MOTHERFUCKER IM SO EXCITED
God I am so excited to have Dorian back
Hi Bidet don’t mind me just found Robbie’s shirt
And Laura’s shirt (form episode 105) because I was interested in them and I figured I’d share them with y’all! Enjoy and happy Thursday.
After a month and a half, I finally got the request for @flufferanian done (Raymond either holding or reacting to Robbie Daymond's baby). I did both at once. :P I call it "THIS IS REALLY CUTE, BUT WHAT DO I DO WITH IT?!" I took the opportunity to experiment with my shading method (inspired by Day Colors, because that way seems really smart). Totally worth the three hours. X'D So, hopefully you like the drawing, fluff! And if anyone is willing to possibly wait a while, I'm still doing free OK K.O. art requests (and from here I will strictly say OK K.O only. I'm not saying yes to any more obscure cartoon spam requests). Remember: any character or pairing is fine by me, but I won't draw NSFW, and incest or pedo ships (if any) will be drawn at most as platonic fluff.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Guess which amazing person I met todayyy AAAAAAAAA
@boxmorelover232 And here you have it, Raymond meeting his voice actor, Robbie Daymond. You can't tell me these two wouldn't hit it off. Sorry about the wait. Mostly it was the usual lack of motivation, but it was also the fact that I was drawing someone who exists in real life, which is difficult enough. But after meeting Robbie in person, drawing him just felt... weird, I guess? But I said I would draw it, so I did. Hopefully you like it!
Aaaaa I'm in Robbie Daymond's newest blog video. The one at about 18:25 in the clashing orange and green weeb getup with the uncontrollable mess I call hair? It me. You can probably see my nerves. I got so anxious when he knew it was me. X)

Infinity Train Book 2 Thought/Review
I wasn’t sure what to think when I saw Infinity Train will return at the end of the first season. I felt that it was a really good self contained story that didn’t really need a continuation to feel satisfying to me and I was nervous that they would try and churn out more and more episodes and seasons and maybe lose what I initially loved so much about the show, but I have never been so happy to be wrong. Infinity train book 2 managed to, in my opinion, be even better than the first season. Lake’s journey was one of the most real, emotional, and heartfelt I’ve seen in the past year. They took what worked with the first season and expanded on it. They took the heart and willingness to explore real and painful emotions as well as expand on the world of the infinity train.
Lake was such a strong character that I haven’t been able to get her out of my head since watching the season. The way the show portrayed her journey and existential dread over not being her own person just a reflection was phenomenal. The last few episodes of the season where she is left to struggle to find her own way out and growing despair were the strongest of the season. They were, in essence, a character study. My personal favorite episode was “The Tape Car”. The scene where Lake fails to get her own number and grabs onto the robot begging it to look at her, that she is a real person, and then breaks the robots in the midst of a breakdown was so full of raw emotion and desperation. I couldn’t help but feel sad for her situation and want her to escape the train just as badly as she did. The whole scene felt like an emotional gut punch and I had to rewatch the scene quite a few times afterwards because I couldn’t get how it made me feel out of my head. And that’s what I like the most about shows, having a character, episode, plot point, or scene that blows me away and sticks with me after the show is over. I like it when a show is able to evoke strong emotions from me and make me look back on it positively and this season managed to do that with Lake. Her question about whether she needs a story like the dead lizard struck me because she has suffered and struggled and grown. Her struggle has been real and just because the robots couldn’t see it and she doesn’t have a number doesn’t make it any less true. She’s had to fight to experience even the simple things that people take for granted and yet she wasn’t allowed a number or a way off despite working to grow unlike many others on the train like the people on the mall car. When she is finally free after all her struggling and finally able to look at her reflection without fear it felt validating in a way. She is finally free of the constant fear for her life and freedom and she can finally embrace her initial identity as a reflection and make it her own.
Lake’s relationship to Jesse was another strong part of the show’s season. I really liked the dynamic that they had with each other and how it made them grow as people. Lake made Jesse stop giving into peer pressure and do what he wants and what he thinks is right despite the fact that other people may not like it. This is a characteristic that Lake starts out with, alibi a bit to the extreme, and she is able to teach Jesse this lesson because of it. Jesse is more open to people and get Lake to first open up to him and the possibility that she doesn’t have to be alone, that connections are another part of life that she has the right to experience. They both had to find a way to define themselves outside of the expectations and pressures of others. It’s hard not to be devastated when they get separated and be happy when they finally both get off the train together.
This season just seemed to hit more emotional beats for me than the first. And that’s saying something because I thought the first season was really good at addressing the problems that it dealt with and conveying the frustration and denial that Tulip was going through. This season spoke more to me personally. Both Jesse’s struggle to not give into peer pressure and be who he wants to be not who others will like and Lake’s struggle to find validation in her identity and carve out a path of her own outside of expectations that were forced upon her.
This season was also darker than the first, especially when it comes to Lake’s story. Lake has the mirror feds chasing her and actively trying to kill her, she experiences existential dread over being her own person, and goes through what could be considered psychological torture at times. A show doesn’t have to be dark to be great, but this show handled these dark themes well and made them compelling by attaching them to a strong main character like Lake. Jesse is a strong supporting character/part main character. He does take a backseat to Lake in the latter half of the series and Lake is introduced as our perspective character. I really liked this choice because it keeps the initial concept of the infinity train while attaching it to deeper themes like what it means to be “human”/ be your own person.
I also want to give props to everyone who worked on the show. From the fantastic performances of Ashley Johnson and Robbie Daymond to the writers of the show like Owen Dennis and Alex Horab to the animation which seems to improve with each episode of the show.
I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this show since the finale. I really hope it gets a third season and gets to explore more of the train and the deeper themes it likes to tackle. The setting is rife for potential and the showrunners clearly like to push boundaries. They constantly push the envelope on what they can show and cover in a cartoon that is aired with a rating of TV-PG. I’m really glad that shows like infinity train exist that are willing to try and one up itself and keep growing and expanding instead of playing it safe.
