I fear that how much time I spend in a microenvironment like tumblr is shaping my perception of culture because I just found out "eroticism of the machine" isn't a concept that exists in the general consciousness or as a media trope or anything. if I Google it the first result is a Tumblr post. do the people of Earth not understand how inherently sensual the wires and pistons are

incidentally. every time i see someone speculating about "what if the season ends soon". i know we're safe for the time being and don't have to worry. because tango doesn't understand the idea of "good enough" and as a result if the season ends before decked out 2 has been played for its entire two-month run, he legally would be allowed to become a serial killer. and like, he lives near impulse and skizz, and maybe they're acceptable losses, but the entire state of arizona isn't. and who knows. maybe more. and the hermits can't be responsible for tango murdering the entire state of arizona (and who knows maybe more). they just can't. so the season can't end yet. because decked out 2 isn't done. and hasn't been played for its entire run yet. because the fate of arizona depends on it. you understand, right?

"Hmph, Where is that tank engine? She was supposed to be here 10 minutes ago!"
"Sorry I'm late Irving! It's just that Nora-"
"-broke down with a train so you had to help?"
"Y-Yea, how did you know?"
"Because you used that same excuse last time you were late!"
"It's not an excuse! You know as well as I do that Nora's boiler hasn't been as good as it used to be!"
"Hmph, well it's not my fault you're late. My passengers have appointments to get to, so do yours. Maybe you should stop helping that old tram and focus on your own work like a proper engine!"
"Pah, Mr. Quinton would never approve of me not helping an engine in need and you know it!"
"Not my problem, Louise, now, if you don't mind, I've got a schedule to keep."
"I DO mind! Get back here you overgrown pie cutter!"

Michael during that interview on The One Show. You could tell he wanted to say something else, but had his hands tied.
