Steam And Steel

netflix is making a hockey show called "the sticks" that is based on a very real tragedy that occured in canada in 2018.

the show follows a minnesota high school team after their bus crashes and coming back to hockey afterwards.

in 2018, the humboldt broncos' (a junior A team made up of 18-22 year olds) bus was hit by a tractor trailer on a highway intersection. 16 people (10 players, 2 coaches, and 4 team staff members) were killed, along with 13 other players severely injured.

the memory of the humboldt broncos crash is an incredibly sensitive subject carrying a lot of trauma to both the survivors, their families, and deceased's families. the trajectory of hockey in canada was changed significantly after this tragedy.

despite this, netflix has decided to make a show using the death of young hockey players for profit. they did not consult the survivors, nor the deceased's families. they stole a canadian story for a feel-good cash grab.

None of the families even knew about this show until the media started asking how they felt.

It is taking a tragedy and turning it into a cash cow.

This was such a deeply-felt issue that even the truck driver pleaded guilty and has tried to make amends. (And as he is facing deportation after his sentence, some of the families have even started supporting him being allowed to stay in the country.) There is a real story you could be telling about community and resilience that is not just turning one of the worst days for THE NATION into cheap thrills and sensationalism.

Amelia Gallows is a diasporan from a planet of ash, fire and iron. Herself being crude, hot headed and industrious, feels all the more fitting she'd ride fire and brimstone incarnate with her AGNI NHP nicknamed 'Firebug Brandy' to help redistribute the heat to those unlucky enough to be nearby.

I was goofy and completely forgot to share the rest of these here!! And a little photo example of what they actually look like ^^ More sticker sheets on my Etsy for y’all to enjoy!!

-> ETSY!

I’d love to do more of these original sort of designs in the future, what’s some themes you’d be interested in?

Train

Still practicin’ drawing, Millie. She ain't as detailed as Sylvie, but trust me when I say she’s still quite a handful. But I must say, I think the challenge is worth it if I get to draw a train girl!

Steam power

Millie can push/pull up to 300 tons of railcars, equivalent to the average a real switcher locomotive can achieve. In addition, she can also bicep curl nearly 10 tons w/ just one arm, no problem! Something not every CORE droid can achieve.

Mech Pilot who’s doing her best!

Me, a loving and supportive friend that doesn’t judge them for their weird yet harmless kink:
