The Super Expresses are one of the most interesting constructions found in Comell, hyperspeed trains that can carry some hundred people across continents and oceans in an hour or two such as the trendsetting trailblazer of the Super Expresses- King Torrent.

King Torrent (wheel arrangement: 3-20-8) handled the Green line the Eiglim-Clerrrot line- Eiglim being Comaheim’s capital and Clerrrot being one of Voltsada’s 3 capitals the Westmost capital. It now runs the New Century line, colloquially called the Silver Line, now King Torrent is both the trend setter and the most experimental the locomotive is power by both Tessra Generation and Steam alongside Makai Sigilwork all this together allows these trains to easily reach 12k kmph with King Torrent reaching over 15k during a speed trail.

As for these locomotive’s methods or power generation the Tessra generator is at once the most interesting and the most simple. Tessra is a mystic metal known most (both notoriously and) famously for its spontaneous electric charge generation, it should be noted that unrefined Tessra has a tendency to store and then suddenly release its charge this goes hand in hand with it prior usage in urban decoration and the rise in spontaneous (and sometimes lethal) electrocution, this has been mitigated with the development of refined Tessra which is also known as Chargestone-Tessra Alloy or simply Tessrim which takes the almost harmlessly produces and stores its own electricity , it should be noted that despite being almost benign its still holding electricity and should you give that stored charge a chance or rather a circuit it will do what electricity does best, now add the conversion cask to turn that rampant charge into usable power and bobs your uncle a safe and effective way to to power your engines add the steam engine in (which I hope you already know how that works) and that’s where the other mystic metal lies the Dragonite boiler these super insulators allow the boiler to be superheated without risking anything nearby and superheated they are as the sigilwork does a lot of the remaining heavy lifting multiplying the thermal energy found in the boiler, minimizing gravitational and wind resistance and most importantly protecting the engine from runaway reactions, and that’s only scratching the surface of the intrigue found in this machine.

All in all the Super Express are one of the most interesting machines found in Temperance 304 at least to me

So with a little brainstorming help from my dad, I came up with the idea to make a space au. The basic idea of this au is that four planets with different alien races have all realized each other exist, and so, in the hopes to make peace, they've gathered some of their willing teenagers on a planet without any sapient races, in the hopes that they'll make friends and inspire the rest of their races to do the same.

There are four alien races in this, and I'll explain them all before saying which characters fall into which- bear with me.

Tadordoks-

Tadordoks come from a cold and mountainous planet. They have long fur, and can glide on thermal currents, using flaps of skin which stretch from their ring and pinky fingers to their tails. They have canine muzzles, but instead of breathing through noses they have breathing vents on the underside of their necks. They place heavy importance on tradition and ritual. They are carnivorous mammals.

Vastune (pronounced vast-oon-AY)-

Vastune live on a planet that is a mix of desert and savanna. They have catlike faces, six paws (only the middle set has opposable thumbs), and cooling frills down their backs. They've adapted into to outwardly different subspecies- one is tall, short-furred, and has long frills, while the other is short with long fur and short frills. The former are more active during the day, and the latter at night. They highly value creativity and intelligence. Vastune are omnivorous marsupials.

Adliikans-

Adliikans live on a jungle planet. They have large, squared-off ears, and wide eyes. They have rather scruffy fur. Their nostrils are located under their eyes. Their hands and feet are very large and rotate very far. Their tails are prehensile. The underside of their tails, arms and bellies are all covered in thick, rough skin. They live in very large family groups. They are omnivorous mammals.

Finowing-

Finowing live on a cold planet filled with misty forests and steppe. Their backs are covered in long and shaggy fur, while their undersides and heads are scaled. They have horns and short tusks. Their heads are reptilian, and they have three nostrils on each side of their snout. Because of past conflicts on their world, they tend to have rather serious attitudes, but they have a great love of culture. They are egg-laying herbivores.

So, which characters are which?

Tadordok: Molly, Diane, Emily

Diurnal Vastune: Jo, Abigail

Nocturnal Vastune: April, Wren, Rosie

Adliika: Ripley, Barney, Mackenzie

Finowing: Mal, Hes, Jen

it all has to do with how people use the internet

the people who I've seen enjoy tumblr most tend to be content creators, students, and/or obsessive fans

and since so many people only use the internet for research, emails, gaming, and connecting with friends the way they are used to interacting and receiving content is very different than those of the people who enjoy tumblr because they tend to more actively seek content, and not only that but they also have a better idea of what they want to see.

for example someone who has spent all their time online only interacting with people they know in real life, watching funny videos, forwarding inspirational images, they're gonna get a shorter period of amusement from tumblr because it wouldn't be offering them anything new unless they learnt how to seek it out

and there is no instructional manual for this, different people use the internet differently and everyone adapts their usage differently too.

geekier people will have a nearly endless stream of content to enjoy and participate in, artistic people will have a whole new way of displaying their work and networking with other artists and fans, "hipster" have an endless amount of content too and customizable minimalist themes to satisfy them, people only after memes get a good stream of that too, people wanting to raise awareness about issues in the world have a massively viral format to work with.

but if you don't actively seek out things on tumblr it can get very boring very fast, if you don't put content on your blog either from others or your own and do it often, you won't get many followers

this is why for a lot of people the very format of the site can be confusing and the purpose opaque, not out of any form of stupidity or inferior usage but rather because the way this site is used is not something universal for all internet users currently. There's nothing wrong with that.

Personally when I first started with tumblr I found it one of the easiest sites to figure out how to use, the various communities I found on here were ones I'd encountered online before but for the first time I properly felt included in them, the layout and customisability of the site was easy for me, basically more than any other social website I found tumblr fit the way I use the internet the best. And now some of the best friends I have I met through this site, I've managed to communicate with artists I immensely admire without feeling like my comment's drowned in a sea of thousands, I've been introduced to so many things, it's a good experience for me, ridiculously slow.

And I realized that late season six Cas has an awful lot in common with the early Cas that we meet.
