season three of infinity train goes so hard it’s a crime that you can’t watch it on max anymore. watching grace and simon go through the exact opposite storylines, becoming foils of each other in response to one another. grace losing her apex mark upon realizing that she was wrong as simon’s only got brighter. watching grace’s number go down to her hand as simon’s covers his entire body. all of these children being indoctrinated into a false religion causing them to go on a rampage while thinking they’re doing the right thing when in reality they stray further and further from the true right thing every day. grace leading them thinking she’s also doing the right thing when in reality, she’s doomed them. simon deeming tuba’s inhuman nature a valid reason to kill her, despite the fact that she was a fully sentient being who his friends loved and cared for. hazel losing the only mother she’d ever had. hazel being a denizen and not knowing it even when she was acting as one. simon not realizing hazel was supposedly one of the soulless monsters he hated so much because she didn’t look like them. hazel truly being not only so human, but such a child, begging for tuba to come back and promising to be really good. god there’s so much more i could go on about but it’s just the entire season. it’s so incredible. streaming services really just get rid of their best shows and don’t look back, huh.

thinking about tuba infinity train on this fine day good god she was a mother of at least two (maybe more) children, not just her daughter bugle, and she lost all of them and then hazel came into her life as a sort of surrpgate daughter whom she loved not in place of her other children but sort of used to help process her grief (it's implied that she and hazel held a funeral for tuba's other children together) and find an outlet for her maternal and protective instincts, and they find a nice life together independently of passengers, until these two teenaged assholes come in and try to break that tentative peace, take hazel away from tuba, and what's more they're actively dehumanising tuba to her own face and to hazel's the whole time, openly trying to drive a wedge between them and undermine their relationship (a relationship which basically saved both of their lives), and tuba begins to establish trust with one of the teenagers and eventually the other one too (or so she thinks), and then her last moments are taking a leap of faith with that trust, leaving hazel (hazel, her baby, the girl that saved her life, her everything) to one of the teenagers while the other fucking kills her. her last moments were losing everything she holds dear and being told that her everything is not in safe hands. simon laurent when i catch you i'm killing you again

Alrighty folks buckle up because I'm gonna rant
Just feel like some of you out here just don't really understand nuance? And it's like what was I expecting because it's social media nuance is dead.
Anyway so all three of you out there who follow me that aren't bots, or people that I know IRL, know that my favourite character in Infinity Train is Simon Laurent, the French incel bastard man. And yeah I know he's terrible but also I must ask the eternal question: Is he actually though??????
Hear me out. Because look I know dude is a murderer and a hypocrite and a whiny little bitch but also consider the facts:
he's a teenager
he got trapped on some nightmare train when he was only ten. TEN!
his denizen was THE CAT, who from his POV manipulated him and then abandoned him!
Now I know what some of you already saying at this point:
-"uh that doesn't justify all the murdering!!!" -"he's an egotistical jackass!" -"he's not a child he's 18! he would go to adult jail in real life!" -"he died in the narrative thus justifying my hatred!" Okay well consider this: it's pretty much canonical that Grace did exactly the same amount of murdering as Simon but y'all are so ready to embrace and forgive her because she had a change of heart?
And which one of you when you were 18 made completely rational not emotion-driven decisions based on pure facts and logic??? Which one of you are capable of doing this now????
And he didn't have a normal childhood to develop his brain in a normal way, again he boarded the Train at age ten!!!! And finally which one of you was a teenager who wasn't a little egotistical???
If Simon was egotistical then what does that make Grace, the leader of the Apex who made a throne for herself???? What does that make Amelia who rejected the Train's attempts to help her move on and instead tried to recreate her dead fiance to the point that there are just renegade failed clones of that person just running around????
Also, I feel like it's important to mention that Amelia probably did more crimes than both Grace and Simon combined but she just didn't get her face eaten by Ghoms just because she was an adult at the time and could outsmart the Train. You guys are willing to forgive her and all the stuff she did... as an ADULT, but not Simon, a teenager, because... reasons???!!!
And other stuff I feel like should be mentioned here:
I think it's important to consider why episode 4 of season 3, came right before episode 5, you know the one where he kills Tuba. Episode 4 was when we learn a ton of info about Simon. Notably that the Cat was his denizen and we all know how the Cat is!
I'm pretty sure we were supposed to draw several conclusions from that episode namely:
- Cat is a schemey little shit - he was a kid when he knew the Cat - he seems to claim she was fake and manipulating him - that seems believable from what we know of the cat - ep 5 hits, Tuba and Simon have heart to heart - Simon then kills Tuba
So why did Simon kill Tuba? IT'S BECAUSE SIMON THINKS TUBA IS MANIPULATING HIM LIKE THE CAT WAS
And my friend brought up a good point where if you think about it, the Train was using Tuba to manipulate him, and using Hazel to manipulate Grace.
The Train we've seen just runs on pure algorithms and doesn't give a shit about the passengers. The Train just sees them as a number that increases or decreases. It just calculated that if Hazel & Tuba met Grace & Simon then it would have the maximum likelihood that those denizen + passenger combos could get their numbers down the most efficiently. It of course did not account for the fact that the Cat went on vacation and then ran into Simon, thus reminding him to not trust denizens.
Simon had as much of a likelihood to do a change of heart like Grace did! But hey, spanner in the works and all that.
Some of you just like hating on him because he's a white guy and coded cishet and it really shows.
I'm sure y'all are gonna say I'm defending the patriarchy or whatever for defending cishet white guy colonizer man Simon Laurent as a queer femme POC but also fuck off with that bullshit and just look at the actual text of the narrative presented to us instead of reading bad takes on Twitter.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

In my AUs where Tuba finds Grace first, then Simon, I like to imagine he does the thing where you accidentally call your teacher mom but with Tuba and Grave NEVER lets him live it down. Tuba is just happy they see her as a mother figure instead of just a denizen.

you ever think about how kez is actually pretty knowledgeable compared to most other denizens we've seen? she's not good at *explaining* but she knew about how numbers were supposed to work and what the train was
meanwhile, atticus and any other denizen that tulip might've thought to bring the number thing up to (except for the cat) were just like "idk bruh, fuck if i know" and presumably tuba didn't really know either

Opinion on S3 of Infinity Train?
Tumblr media
Tl;DR, I really enjoyed this Book! Grace's growth from a manipulator matched with Simon's trust issues were a clever pairing, especially in the regard that they are codependent enablers (Grace more than Simon at first). Hazel's presence was an excellent match for Grace and Simon's "companion" but Tuba leaving an imprint the way she did despite not being there for the majority only shows how good her character was.
The themes overall were done really well, as the show demonstrated a nice portrayal of how conflicting people can exist and what one can do to better themselves, or help others.
Good season, good characters.
To get into it in more depth...
My sister and I did not like these two because of Book 2, but when we learned they were gonna be the Book 3 protagonists I figured we'd learn to like at least one of them. Character wise, I prefer Grace over Simon but I still liked how they handled everyone's characters within this book. They really did feel like snarky teenagers with no adult guidance, who at their core were really the same scared old kids who got on the train.
When Grace told Simon, "I don't owe you anything" I really liked the emotions of that scene and dialogue. How Simon was portrayed with his trust issues, compared to Grace and her manipulation, I think was done well. He was meant to be someone frustrating and both the VA and animation carried that snark very well.
I also liked how their codependent relationship as mutual (though more on Grace's end) enablers was subtly expressed at first. It was a great take on expressing the problems of acting out for attention and issue of trust, but on top of recognizing good and bad friends. Or in other words, conveying the journey of recognizing flaws in an individual or self, and either striving to help others from them or realizing to distance yourself from the company you keep.
On that notion, Grace's number going down the way it did was a good way of expressing that while you've done a lot of wrongs in life, starting the path to redemption or making up for it can be an even greater step than you realize. I also kinda liked that One-One didn't know about The Apex. It sucked, obviously, but it evolved into an interesting element with Grace having to recognize her faults and the impact she's had on others, then expand on the idea of pushing out of that toxic mentality.
Good example would be Jesse confronting The Apex: as a Passenger, it sucked his "goal" was kind of being hampered by other Passengers who misunderstood the Train, but it did lead to him outright asserting he will be better which led to his escape.
Also, this Book had Samantha the Cat! Which was always a fun recurring character to me, so seeing some backstory for her was neat! I liked Hazel's character and what she did for Grace, her presence set a standard for Grace and Simon and I liked that a lot, since it forced them to compromise on the one thing we already knew they were adamant about: wheeling denizens. Amelia's return and knowing she's helping One-One now was cool to know, but it was also saddening to learn why Hazel existed in the first place. And Holy Hades did Tuba's death hit hard, she was such a good mother-figure and the delivery of that scene was so well done (followed up with the most twisted scene where Simon just happily tells Hazel he killed her).
The amount of characters within this Book blended well together, especially in terms of narrative. A lot of themes took place in this Book, and I liked that our cast of (mostly) four balanced each other out in terms of dynamics. Overall, I think this Book carried itself well with the characters it introduced and reintroduced. My sister and I really liked it!
Until next ask,
- Bleh

One time I was talking with some friends about who would win in a fight between a person with a giant drum and a person with a tuba. And we determined that the tuba would win. And then I realized that one of the friends I was talking to has watched Infinity Train, leaving the chance for the worst joke ever.
“The tuba would win, unless you pushed it into the wheels of a moving train.”
