HURT// COLBY BROCK
As I walk into the party with Tara to my left, a wave of anxiety hits as soon as I realize I am actually here. In the same house as him. But not with him. I haven’t stepped foot in this house for over a month, because the last time I was here hurt me more than anything.
“You okay?” Tara asks sensing my mood change “Just nervous,” I say while playing with the ring on my finger
“I’ll be here the whole night, if we get split up just text me and we’ll meet back up,” She says softly and I smile “Thank you,”
“Now let’s go get drinks and have a good time,” Tara says before grabbing my hand and dragging me toward the kitchen. As we make our way into the kitchen our whole friend group comes into view.
I haven’t seen most of them in quite a while, after what happened I just needed time for myself and I’ve only seen Tara, Kat, Sam, Jake, and Devyn. Tara, Kat, Devyn, and I hung out last week and I explained to them why I haven’t been around and they understood.
“Kenna!,” Kat says while running to give me a hug “Wow I feel loved,” Tara jokes
“Shut up, I saw you this morning,” Kat laughs before hugging Tara “Wow, Kenna finally decided to grace up with her presence,” Sam laughs
“I just knew your guys’ lives were boring without me so I decided to come,” I laugh before giving Sam a quick hug “Actually my life has been pretty good,” Kevin jokes and I roll my eyes before he pulls me in for a hug
“We’re doing shots,” Kat says and I nod before walking over to the table where the drinks are. Kat pours four shots, one for me, Tara, Devyn, and herself. “We’re getting you fucked up tonight and you’re going to hook up with some hot random guy,” Tara says
“Hell yeah!” Kat says “To Kenna getting laid,” Devyn says while holding her shot up and we all cheers before downing them
We all made our way into the living room where the music was and where everyone was dancing, at first it started with all of us girls dancing together but the girls’ boyfriends had made their way over to them so I let them be and went into the kitchen to get another drink
“Why aren’t you dancing anymore?” I heard a voice say from behind me and my heart dropped “Because,” I said trying my best to ignore him
“Do you want to dance?” He says and I scoff “With you? No.” I say not looking at him
“Why?” He says “Because I said so,” I said before walking away
“Hey,” Crawford says while walking over toward me “Hey Crawf,” I smile
“How’ve you been?” He asks while leaning on the wall next to us “I’ve been good, How have you been?” I say softly
“I’ve been alright. Why you over here alone?” He asks “Eh, just not in the mood for this party,” I say
“You wanna go outside?” He asks and I nod, He grabs my hand and leads me through the crowds of people. We make it outside and we go sit by the pool
We don’t speak we just sit in silence and look up at the sky “What are you guys doing?” I hear someone say and I mentally curse
“We just chillin’,” Crawford says to Colby “What are you doing out here?” I ask him
“I saw you guys walk out here and needed to make sure no one was hooking up outside,” He says and I roll my eyes “Nah, we ain’t doing that,” Crawf laughs
“Good,” Colby says while making eye contact with me “Hey, Crawf, it’s a little cold out here so I’m gonna go back in,” I say with a smile
“Alright, stay safe,” He says while lifting his cup and tilting it toward me “You too, no drunk swimming,” I point at him
“Don’t worry, I’m all good,” He laughs. I get off the chair and run my hands over my dress to make sure it’s straight “You want a hoodie?” Colby asks
“No,” I say rudely while walking away “Kenna what is your problem,” Colby asks while catching up to me
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I say while shutting the door in his face “There you are,” Kat says
“Hey,” I smile “We’re doing more shots, come on,” Kat says while grabbing my hand and pulling me into the kitchen
We do about four or five shots before we all make our way back to the dance floor, this time the girls’ boyfriends don’t interfere so it was just us dancing. I look to my left to see Colby talking to some girl leaning on the wall, I roll my eyes and look away.
“Hey, Kenna,” Justin says “Hey,” I smile as he dances closer to me
“You look really good,” He says and I smile “So do you,” I say and he snakes his hands around my waist
“You know, I’ve been thinking about you for a while,” He whispers in my ear “Have you?” I tease
“I always just thought you had a thing going on with Colby so I stayed away but now that I just saw him with that girl, I know that you’re available,” He says
“Yeah, don’t worry, I’m available,” I smile “Good,” He says while moving a hand up to my neck and pulling me in for a kiss
I move my hands to the back of his neck and run my hands through his hair as he pulls me closer by the hand on my waist. He moves his mouth to my neck and starts leaving trails of kisses
“Okay, that’s enough, she’s drunk,” Colby says while pulling Justin away from me “So am I,” Justin says and I try to push Colby away from me
“Colby leave me alone,” I say while trying to get my arm out of his grip “Yeah, dude, leave her alone, we were having fun,” Justin says while grabbing onto my other arm with a tight grip
“She’s drunk, I’m not gonna let her get taken advantage of,” Colby says and I scoff “She wants this,” Justin says while tightening his grip on my arm and it starts to sting
“Justin, let go,” I say trying to pull my arm away but his grip gets tighter “Why aren’t you telling Colby to let you go?” He says
“Because he isn’t hurting me,” I say while trying to pull my arm away “Let her go,” Colby says to Justin
“How about you let her go and we get back to what we were doing,” Justin says “How about no,” Colby says
“Whatever man,” Justin says while letting my arm go and I let out a sigh of relief “Are you okay?” Colby asks while grabbing my arm and looking at it
“I’m fine, don’t pretend like you care,” I roll my eyes before trying to walk away from him but he steps in front of me
“You’re drunk,” He says “So is like every person here, plus I’ve barely had any drinks,” I say
“Well you’re never the type to get drunk and hook up with random people,” he says “I did it with you,” I say, and his face drops
“That was different and you know that,” He says and I laugh “Sure it was, now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go find Justin again,” I say trying to walk around him but I feel arms go around my waist and suddenly I’m thrown over Colby’s shoulder
“Colby put me down,” I say as he walks toward the stairs “No,” He says as I wiggle in his grip
We make it up the stairs and to his room and he sets me down in the middle of his floor “Colby what the hell,” I yell
“Why are you so fucking pissed with me,” He says raising his voice “Are you dumb,” I say pissed off
“Colby, we hooked up, so many times, you treated me like your girlfriend, and told me I wasn’t allowed to hang out with other guys. You told me so many things that made me fall in love with you. Then when I told you, you had the nerve to get mad at me for having fucking feelings!” I yell
“I told you that I didn’t want anything serious!” He says “I know, and that’s my fault for thinking that you’d get over yourself and realize that you do deserve love but clearly I was fucking wrong,” I laugh
“You hurt me, Colby. I poured my heart out to you and you had the nerve to say I was never anything to you and you just used me to pass the time,” I say “So don’t get mad at me for not wanting to talk to a guy who made me feel like shit about myself,”
“Kenna,” He says softly “No don’t even fucking say anything,” I say while walking past him but he grabs my hand and turns me around, and pulls me in to kiss him
I push him away “Fuck you,” I say before walking out of his room and back down to the party. “You okay?” Tara asks me
“I’m perfect, you wanna do more shots?” I ask and she nods

okay, so i was cleaning up my room and came across a notebook and some old sketchbooks. and i found some tudors/some histoircal figures. and addition some six the kids looks designs, and it makes me want to go back to it.
i mean left off on edward vi and i am planning to try to do research on him. if anyone who liked or known about my six the kids designs and few videos of them, they were heavily inspired and based on their historical selves with in addition of being modern and i did that with six as well. but this is very different since the videos i made of them were heavily on their lives correctly and fun. with a twist of how they feel or the idea of them learning how wrong and how toxic the issue they live in were. you know since they are ghosts in this like their mothers/the tudor queens.
so a repeat reminder that, i am likely 98% returning to six the kids but i need to draw their design again and their mothers. and probably get used to them again. :)
i am not stopping the whole the toons throughout the years series of pictures. but they will be slow down a bit, when i slowly start the animatic/storyboard.

Psycho Analysis: Seto Kaiba
Tumblr media
(WARNING! This analysis contains SPOILERS!)
Every good anime revolving around a game, sport, or competition needs a great rival to antagonize the main character. A rival is a character who helps push the protagonist to their limits, and forces them to apply what they’ve learned in order to beat them. Now, a rival like that typically isn’t someone who is going to get a Psycho Analysis, as most rivals are just garden-variety jerks at worst. For instance, Gary Oak is a bit of a snot, but he’s literally a child and he turns things around and becomes a decent guy relatively quick. Or hell, look at Miles Edgeworth; he spends most of the first Ace Attorney butting heads with Phoenix Wright in court, but he’s pretty quickly shown to be far more concerned with finding the absolute truth than any truly nefarious purpose. Ultimately, most rivals end up being genuinely decent people who just take competition a little too seriously and eventually develop into staunch friends and allies.
But imagine a rival who never changes. A rival dead set on being the most antagonistic douchebag possible, one who is driven solely by the sheer spite and hatred they feel at being second banana to someone else, someone who can’t bear that their massive ego is even slightly bruised. A rival who may help when the chips are on the table, but who is only doing so for their own selfish and self-centered reasons. That’s a character I could reasonably review on Psycho Analysis! And if ever there was a character who fits that bill, it’s Seto freaking Kaiba.
Now, to be clear here, Kaiba isn’t a villain. He’s an antagonist, he’s an anti-hero, but for about 99% of his screentime he’s not technically a villain. But just because the series is called Psycho Analysis doesn’t mean I’m literally only reviewng psychos, and it’s about time I broke out a bit and experimented in this new year by looking at characters who aren’t totally evil, but maybe are a little bit. And as you’ll soon see, no one is a better choice to break the mold than the second best duelist in Domino City.
Motivation/Goals: To put it simply, everything Kaiba does is motivated by his ego or by spite. This is a man who has done genuinely great things, from dismantling his father’s bloodthirsty legacy of profiting off of war to opening theme parks and creating new technology to make Duel Monsters more fun and engaging for all players. All of this on paper makes him look like the most ethical animated billionaire this side of Scrooge McDuck, but there’s one little issue: Nothing he does is out of the goodness of his heart.
Do you think Kaiba actually gives a shit about anyone affected by his father’s business? No, he just dismantled it out of sheer hatred for his adopted father who, to be fair, really was a massive cunt. Do you think he went through all the trouble to make massive strides in Duel Monsters technology just so people could have fun? No, he did it all so he could exploit it in some way to defeat Yugi once and for all.
And that’s one of the biggest things that drives Kaiba: His unquenchable desire to defeat Yugi and be crowned the true king of games. The thing is, every time they have a fair fight, Kaiba gets his ass handed to him; the one time he won was by essentially threatening Yugi with suicide. His sheer petty desire to one-up Yugi extends far into the future, where he names the loser dork house of the academy in GX after Yugi’s Egyptian God card Slifer, while the ultra-cool prestigious house is named after the God he got, Obelisk. And in one possible end of his story, he goes to the most insane and ultimate extreme to try and settle his grudge (but more on that shortly).
Performance: In English, there are two main voice actors of note who have portrayed Kaiba. The first is Eric Staurt, who outside of Kaiba is best known for his Pokemon roles of Brock and James. It leads to a bit of whiplash hearing someone who sounds so similar to the affable yet horny Brock be an absolute arrogant prick, but I definitely think Stuart is able to pull it off.
The other VA of note is Martin “Littlekuriboh” Billany, creator of Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series and the man who voices about 90% of that gag dub’s cast. His take on Kaiba is pretty much what happens if you cross Stuart’s performance with Solid Snake, and it works very well for a Kaiba who’s weirder and wackier yet somehow even more insanely egotistical.
Final Fate: Kaiba, seeing as he’s just a douchebag and not a truly evil person, doesn’t get any sort of major comeuppance save for constantly getting his ass handed to him by Yugi. There are really two possible endings for him, though if you want to be charitable they’re not necessarily mutually exclusive. The first ending is, of course, that he eventually goes on to found the Duel Academy, which means he helps kickstart the events of Yu-Gi-Oh GX in a way. Anyone even partly responsible for the rise of bisexual monsterfucker king Jaden Yuki is getting high marks in my book.
But the much more notable ending for Kaiba comes from Dark Side of Dimensions where, so consumed by his desire to duel Atem one more time despite the pharaoh finally being at rest, he leaves his company in the hands of Mokuba and goes to the fucking afterlife to challenge him. Whatever way you want to read it—that he actually used science to travel to the great beyond, that his tech killed him and he’s not coming back—Kaiba really cements his legacy as the most insane, obsessive rival ever created. If he still feels like he has something to prove by beating you, you ain’t getting your eternal rest; he will bust down the barriers of life and death to have a chance of whooping your ass. Absolute madman.
Evilness: So in this new segment, I’m going to establish how evil any given villain is and rate them on it, separate from how I rate them as a character overall. This score is basically just a reflection of how evil their actions are, with a 1 being “Barely a villain at all” and a 10 being a “Complete and utter monster.”
As we’ve already established a bit, Kaiba is more just an egotistical asshole than anything. In his early appearances in the manga you could definitely say Kaiba was a villain, and his first appearance as the starter villain of the anime definitely paint him as a dick… but after his mind crush, he definitely veers more into anti-hero territory for the rest of the series.
Normally, this would net him a solid 1, but that’s the thing. Despite the fact Kaiba frequently does genuinely good and helpful things and despite constantly aiding the heroes, he only ever does it because he feels like he has something to prove. For instance, look at his handling of the Big Five as he dismantled his father’s legacy; do you think he tore down the military dealings KaibaCorp dealt in out of the goodness of his heart? No, Kaiba did all that out of sheer hatred and spite, negative emotions that motivate just about everything he does no matter how nice it seems. Even if he isn’t actually evil by any stretch and even though he’s undoubtedly bettering the world with what he does, he’s doing it for impure reasons that mainly revolve around reasserting his own superiority. The only genuinely selfless things he does are for the benefit of his beloved brother Mokuba.
So for the first ever Evilness Score, I think Kaiba is going to score a 2/10, which denotes being a huge dick but not neccesarily evil. He’s not actually evil enough to warrant anything higher, but he’s too big of an asshole to get a 1.
Best Scene/Quote: Abridged!Kaiba gave the world “Screw the rules, I have money,” a line that perfectly summarizes a good chunk of Kaiba’s character in both the main and the abridged version of the show. But his best quote (and his very best scene) come during his duel with Ishizu in Battle City, where he decides to give fate the middle finger and beat Miss Ishtar despite her clairvoyance while giving her the following speech (in the dub):
“Hear me now! I won't be controlled! I decide my future! So now, I sacrifice my monsters! Obelisk and Gadget Solider, I send you to the card graveyard! You're so quiet, Ishizu. Where's your magic now? Or have you realized that there's no such thing as destiny? Now observe as I summon my Blue-Eyes! Show yourself!”
And more than anything, this sums up Kaiba: He has the most massive ego in history, the strength and cunning to back that ego up, and a steadfast and stubborn refusal of destiny. He plays by his own rules and follows his own path, and nothing will stand in his way. Not Egyptian gods, not prophecies, not magic or shadow games or what have you. He is unstoppable, implacable, and he won’t be denied that duel with Yugi no matter what anyone says. Not even the barrier of life and death can stop him.
Final Thoughts & Score: Unsurprisingly, as someone who grew up with Yu-Gi-Oh, I fucking love Kaiba.
Going into this, I knew he wasn’t going to be a straight example of a villain, because his evil is mostly relegated to the early parts of the manga and the start of the show, with his post-Mind Crush self being more of an anti-heroic jerkass with a heart of gold. But I think he’s just enough of an asshole to be worth talking about, and talking about antagonistic jerks opens the door to talk about characters like Toy Story’s Sid or the more hostile Pokemon rivals like Silver, Blue, and Bede here. It would have to be Kaiba blazing that trail, though; there’s no jerk more perfect to open the door to discussion of other jerks.
Kaiba is just genuinely fascinating in that, despite being incredibly static as a character, he never really feels shallow. Sure, he steadfastly refuses to change and never really becomes on the best terms with the Yugi squad, but his interactions with them are still fun to watch and he never gets flanderized to the point of being obnoxious. It’s honestly extremely impressive they were able to walk that tightrope of him never really progressing past being an asshole while still remaining a fun, likable character who it’s fun to see in action. I suppose it helps they gave him the most ludicrously badass backstory where he as a plucky little orphan boy manages to beat a businessman in chess to get adopted, fleeces him out of his entire fortune and company, and then dismantles said company’s military division to focus on gaming. And if that’s not enough, they have him do stuff like throw trading cards to jam guns!
Of course, his most appealing aspect is his single-minded obsession with defeating Yugi and proving himself as the superior duelist, a character trait for which there is quite simply no heterosexual explanation for (I’m half kidding). With most rivals, they don’t really get so consumed by their desire to defeat their opponent that they essentially kill themselves just to get another chance at beating them, but most rivals ain’t Kaiba! Really, I think the only rival I’ve seen who’s close to being on his level is Vegeta. Once again, they found a nice balance, keeping Kaiba from being too obnoxious even with his single-minded obsession with one-upping Yugi.
Kaiba is really a character who so easily could have been obnoxious or insufferable, but instead he quite honestly stole the show. Yes, Yugi and Atem’s trials and tribulations are crucial and all, but seeing the insane lengths Kaiba goes to ensure he gets another chance to summon his Blue-Eyes against Yugi’s Dark Magician is just a blast. You’re always wondering what insane rich guy nonsense the man is going to pull off next, and he rarely disappoints. Kaiba may not be evil, he may merely be an antagonistic rival, but I think he still deserves a 10/10 for being the egomaniacal asshole opponent every arch-rival should aspire to be.

HURT PT2 // COLBY BROCK
After doing every shot, and every drink handed to me, I finally got the image of him out of my head. All I could think about now was having a good time with my friends and maybe a couple of other people.
I had attempted to find Justin again to just get my mind off of things but when I saw him in the corner with some random girl I knew that it was a bad idea. I hadn’t seen Colby again since I left his room so I take it that he just stayed in his room.
I had danced with a few different people, even going back to the kitchen for more shots. Tara tried to cut me off but ultimately gave up when she realized that nothing was going to work.
Now I was outside talking to some random guy; he told me his name but I completely forgot it. He was talking about how the stars looked like they were falling down on him, he’s definitely on something.
I didn’t know how to get out of the conversation so I just sat there pretending to listen while sipping on my drink, “Do you agree?” The guy asks me and I look at him confused
“Oh yeah,” I lie not wanting him to know I completely ignored him “Really?” He says and I nod
“Definitely,” I say “Then when don’t we leave?” He says and I fury my brows in confusion
“What?” I say not knowing what the fuck I just agreed to. “You said that you also think there is something between us and that we should hook up,” He says and I almost choke on my own breath
“Oh, uh, Well,” I stall trying to think of something to say and to let him down easy. He genuinely seems like a nice guy but the last thing I want is to hook up with someone while we’re both drunk out of our minds
“I don’t think tonight is a good time,” I say softly “No, it is, trust,” He says while scooting closer to me, I try to move away but there is nowhere else to move
“We’re both clearly drunk and we wouldn’t remember who one another is in the morning so it’s probably not best,” I say while laughing to lighten the mood “There’s no better time to hook up with a stranger than when you’re drunk,” He slurs while putting a hand on my thigh
I may be drunk but I know for a fake I don’t want to hook up with this guy. “I think there are better times to hook up, and this time is not even on the list,” I say while moving my leg to get his hand off of it
“Here let me get you a new drink so we can talk about it,” He says while reaching to grab my cup but I move it away “Uh, no thanks, how about we go inside?” I say before standing up
“Only if you’ll dance with me,” He says while also standing up “Sure,” I say spurious. He tries to grab my hand while we walk but I move it away and hold my cup with both of my hands, so he ends up putting his hand on my back
When we entered the house, the smell of alcohol filled my nose and people dancing filled my vision “Over here,” He said while pushing me toward the entrance of the kitchen
“Another drink?” He asks “No,” I say looking into my now empty cup
“Let’s dance,” He says and I smile before putting my empty cup in the trash can. We both make our way to where everyone is dancing and he puts his hands on my hips in order to “guide” me
He spun me around so my back was facing his front and moved my hips from side to side, I wasn’t uncomfortable because if I was, I’d be out of here faster than the flash but something about this just didn’t feel right.
I tried to push that feeling away while moving my body more and feeling the music. His lips make their way to my neck while his hands start to roam around my body. I wouldn't lie, this guy is attractive but this just all feels so wrong. His hands feel like they’re burning my skin and his lips feel dirty.
I decided that what was happening was just something I didn’t want to happen and that I needed to get away, “Uh, I need to go do something,” I said after turning around and removing his hands from my body
“We were having fun though,” He says while trying to put his hands back on me but I step back “I wasn’t,” I say before walking away
I walk back into the kitchen, grabbing a new cup, and filling it up with the closest drink I saw. I knew that if I went back outback there would be random people making out or smoking and that was something I didn’t want to see or smell.
I walked toward the front door cause I knew no one was going to be out front. They have a little seating area at the side of the driveway so I made my way over there, and just as I thought, no one was out there.
At parties, I always tend to find myself stepping away from everyone and just needing alone time, but that used to be spent with Colby and me getting away and just talking about anything and everything.
I sat down and brought my legs up to my chest to create some heat, going to a house filled with hot breath to the outside air and wind was like a cold shock and I was definitely feeling it.
I drank a little more than half of my drink before I felt the couch next to me dip and someone sit down, I looked over for a split second to see who it was, I didn’t want to be around him but something inside me told me not to leave.
We just sat in silence, he didn’t say anything and I sure as hell wasn’t going to say anything. I down the rest of my drink knowing that if I didn’t have at least a little bit more alcohol in my system then I was going to yell at him again.
I set my now empty cup down on the table and I placed my hands on my calves while moving my hands up and down to create friction so I wasn’t so cold. “I’m sorry,” was the first thing to leave his mouth, and I was shocked.
I didn’t say anything. I didn’t want to give in to him. “I should have never said what I did and I have beat myself up over it every day since,” He says and I shift uncomfortably
“Kenna, I truly do care about you and you’re such an important person in my life and for me to say I was just using you was something I never ever thought would leave my mouth let alone cross my mind,” He says and I scoff
“But it did,” I say with immense attitude “And I wish it never did. What you said to me was exactly everything I wanted to hear, to know that you felt the same way I did was more than I could have asked for,” He says and I bit my lower lip
“I’ll never be able to wrap my head around what I said or why I even acted that way. I have liked you since the moment I met you but I never thought we’d be anything more. So when we did eventually become more it was such an unreal experience that I didn’t know how to handle it.” he says and I try everything in me not to look at him
“When you said that you thought you were falling in love with me, I was in shock, I never thought anyone could love me beyond friendship and I didn’t think before I spoke and I fucked everything up,” He says “Yea you did,” I nod
“Seeing you in there, talking to every guy that approached you felt like hell, seeing them touch you made me want to punch them. I have never felt so many things for one person and I don’t know how to handle them all.” He says
“Not hearing your voice for a month, not feeling the warmth of your touch for a month, and not seeing you in person was my own personal hell and I hated every day that passed by. I threw so many parties in hopes you’d come but you never showed and the one time you did was when I least expected it. The second I saw you it felt like my breath had been taken away and all I wanted to do was hug you and never let go,” He says
“I think I’m falling in love with you, Kenna, and this is the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced,” He says and I finally look at him to see him looking at me. I’m silent, I don’t know what to say or how to react.
“If you don’t feel the same way anymore, it’s fine, We can both pretend this conversation never happened and you can go back in there and dance with some random guys and I’ll pretend it doesn't hurt seeing that,” He says and I genuinely feel my heart flutter
“Colby,” I managed to say “When I told you how I felt and you just said everything I didn’t want to hear felt like being stabbed in the heart and I never want to feel that again. You’re saying these things but I don’t even know if I can believe you,” I say
“Then I show you that you can believe me, I’ll do whatever you want to prove to you that I want you in more than a friends-with-benefits way. If you never want me to talk to another girl again, done. I’ll do it. If you want me to do anything you want, I’ll do it. Because I want to show you how I feel,” He says and I take a deep breath
“I might have a way you can show me,” I say and his face brightens ever so slightly “What is it?” He asks
“If you go two months without having sex with anyone, then it’ll prove that you truly care about me,” I say and he sighs “Deal,” he says quickly
“Really?” I say shocked remembering how often this man wanted to have sex “Anything it’ll take to make you forgive me then I’ll do it,” He says
“But does that include no sex with you?” He asks “Yes, I’ll do the same. I won’t hook up with anyone; not that I’d want to anyways, but just to show you that I want this to work,” I say and he smiles
“I have never poured my heart out to someone that much and it felt a little terrifying,” He says “Now you know how I felt,” I say and he nods
“In two months if I haven't had sex with anyone then will you consider being my girlfriend,” He asks “Yes, Colby Brock, if you can make it two months with no sex then I will consider being your girlfriend,” I say and he smiles
—----------------------------------
Should I make another part of this? Also if there is spelling errors. ignore them. I wrote this at 2am.

Day 13-Corris
Traintober 2023
Other Stories
Day 13-Something New
Corris
Peter Sam was resting peacefully in the yard, all the other Skarloey engines were away with trains leaving the Ker Stuart to bask in the summer morning's peace with the other engine left behind. Edward Thomas was like looking into a strange mirror. His sibling's green paint and normal funnel reminded him of happy days on the Mid-Sodor, but Edward Thomas had been given a rebuild by the Talyllyn much like his own on the Skarloey.
Peter Sam wasn't sure why they had both been given the morning off. Normally when either one of them visited the other railway, they pulled trains for photo charters together. Instead, they had been left to simmer in the yard. Sir Handel had complained about having to take Peter Sam's train, but everyone could tell his heart wasn't in it.
Peter Sam had almost fallen back asleep when E.T. stretched, his valve gear creaking as he shifted his wheels slightly.
"You know if I didn't know better," he began, "I'd almost believe they just were giving us a day off."
Peter Sam snorted, "and Sir Handel honestly loves pulling trucks."
E.T.'s laugh ruined his stretch, "you would think he would eventually figure out he's not getting out of it."
Peter Sam rolled his eyes fondly, "He knows, he just enjoys complaining."
Edward Thomas looked skeptical, "Even though it makes your Duke lecture him?"
"That's probably why he enjoys it."
E.T. nodded thoughtfully, "I can see that, Sir Hayden happily let Peregrine berate him for days when she visited.
Peter Sam winced, the former Corris No.2's ire for her old line was well justified. She had been stripped for parts to repair Sir Hayden, then left to gather dust, only her purchase by the Cronk and Harwick had saved her from scrap.
"At least she eventually forgave him," he sighed.
Edward Thomas glanced over knowingly, "Sir Handel managed to make it worse?"
"She only visits when he's away now."
It was E.T.'s turn to wince, "what did he do?"
"Point out that at least got to know her siblings."
Edward Thomas's sigh of exasperation thoroughly matched how Peter Sam had felt at the matter.
Before they could discuss the matter any further, the thin controller walked out.
Mrs.Nancy smiled at the pair, "I glad you two are getting along, had it been Sir Hayden and Sir Handel left alone..."
Peter Sam groaned at the reminder.
E.T. blinked, "Is that why..."
"Yes," Peter Sam said.
Mrs. Nancy snorted, "Our falcon's inability to get along aside. I have a surprise for you. The Corris Railway has just got their newest steam engine, and they want you two to show her the ropes."
"Of course!" The Ker Staurts chorused together.
"That's what I hoped to hear."
"Where did they find her?" Peter Sam enquired curiously. Edward Thomas nodded, "it's difficult to find a steam engine these days."
The Thin Controller's smile suddenly reminded him of days back when she was just the Guard's daughter and was about to prank Duncan or Sir Handel.
"They didn't find her, they built her."
A whistle sounded from the shops behind them. A red engine rolled out of the shops up alongside them. She was Corris red, with yellow and black lining and a No.7 plate on her sides. She was a 0-4-2 saddle tank, with complex valve gear. Both Ker Staurts starred, and while they weren't identical, they once would have been.
"Hello!" She peeped cheerfully, "I'm Corris No.7. Are you my brothers I was told about?"

AFTG as Things My Friends Have Said pt. 135
Andrew (asking Stuart): Is tea the reason British people are so stupid? Because y'all drink too much sock water?
Staurt: I'm going to need you to stop talking for many minutes while I try to avoid a manslaughter charge

The pixel art piece Four-Byte Burger by Jack Haegar, 1985. You don't need to read past the image I just want to gush about it tbh (again)
There's an entire video essay about it on the YouTube Channel Ahoy
Tumblr media
This is the art, completely remade by Ahoy (Staurt Brown) Who maybe one of the most impressive and dedicated creators I've seen.
The man even makes his own soundtrack for each individual video (for this one)
This image was remade on original software with the only reference of the image being a shitty picture from a magazine at the live event this image was made during in September of 1985.
Tumblr media
The art was made on an Amiga Computer with a CRT monitor turned onto it's side with a maximum of 16 colors on the software's limited art program which didn't have a save feature.
So wonderfully pointless. Nice to have you back Beautiful Burger!!!!
