#eel gets asks!

[the-woild-is-y-erster]

HEY EEL (i got the ask so im here ...) kinda silly but like.. personal hesdcanon for david is that he loves trains. yeah kinda autistic stereotype but idc!!! his favorite is the 999 (ny central and hudson river railroad no. 999) i think!! and he definitely fantasizes about riding the transsib... OKAY BUT i digress. the art request. david jacobs and trains combined. in whatever way you want. conductor david or david at a train station or . literally anything:3

ok so thank thank thank for the request

but i swear when i read the sentence 'david jacobs and trains combined' this image came to me so freakin clearly that i just

when i tell you i was crying while photoshopping this💀

ok but for the actual request :)

ok so after he ages out of being a newsie, in a perfect world he would marry jack and they'd stay in new york and adopt like three children and live three apartments down from race and spot

but in this world :)

jack actually leaves for santa fe, and boots becomes leader of the lower manhattan newsies (fight me they shouldve put boots in livesies i love him so much) and davey gets a degree in engineering somehow and becomes a train conductor.

four years later, jack realises that the thing he thought was santa fe that he was longing for was a fantasy, and decides to go back to new york.

that morning, davey looks at his work schedule and feels his throat close up as he sees "NYC -> SF: ROUND TRIP" on the board. he had been wishing for four straight (haha straight def not lmao) years that he would meet jack on that train back home, and for four straight years he was dissapointed every single time. maybe this time, he thinks, putting no real hope in it.

the trip there is uneventful, some toddler spills water but that's to be expected, he's still a kid. david remembers when les was still that age. giggling at anything his siblings did, clinging like a lamprey to his mothers skirts.

as they pull into the station in sunny santa fe, davey breathes in the clean light air, a harsh contrast from the pollution of new york. the sun glares into his eyes as he gazes out over the russet hills and golden grasses swaying in the breeze, and sometimes he thinks he gets why jack wanted to come here so bad.

out there, there's no one to tell him what to do. out there, the sky seems to swallow him up and make him feel like his mistakes aren't so devastating.

out there, he's free.

he pays no attention to the passengers boarding; he never does. they're just trying to get through their day, just like him. as the engines hiss underneath him and the wheels start to turn with a jolt, he starts down the aisles and asks for tickets, stamping each one and handing it back to the passenger, making eye contact with no one.

in the last car, the window car, he makes it to the last row. "ticket please, s-" he looks up to make eye contact for the first time at the sight of a familiar satchel, considerably more weatherbeaten than when he saw it last, but the same nevertheless.

"jackie?" his voice catches as he meets those cow-like brown eyes, more smile lines and a scruff on his chin, but the same man he had fallen in love with. jack smiles, eyes shining.

"heya, dave." he whispers.

#how they’re always joking around but never in a mean tone like anything can get turned into a joke but they check w others if it’s still ok #to joke around w something. and the way they ended up sharing the eel through games but still played until everyone got a piece #was so sweet when chan offered half his piece to lino and lino was like no no on a serious note it’s ok 😌 and he did the sweeeetiest smile #how in was pissed OFF at not winning like kind of for real and seungmin went like okok innie relax it’s ok #and how they make sure lix gets the least lines to memorise even though he’s not the one driving was so 🥺 like it’s such a sign of knowing #each other so well that they do these things without rly asking like #just naturally adjusting to everyone around them ouhhhh i LOVE friendship and humans. so much

Idk if it's a good time but hey Eel how was Trick born

"How was Trick born...? No, no. This is a good question. Let me think for a moment..."

"Well, you see, all of the prime mews were made by this tree. Prime is... special. That's why they're the only one left. They utilized the tree's method of producing mews to create their own. Fye, Trick, Girr, myself, and all the others who weren't born via eggs were produced using the tree. They didn't just appear out of thin air. They still needed time to form and develop..."

I agree PLA is so good. I hate having to initiate a battle every time I wanna catch a thing, I miss agile and strong style, I miss alpha Pokémon trying to destroy me for looking at them wrong, I miss my husband when will he receive his closure 😭

i mentioned this a lil earlier but i miss the battle animations and being chased by psychic beams too. being able to control how hard you hit to be able to change your turn order(or just to catch something without killing it/do a hard hit to quickly end a battle) and alpha pokemon and freeroam pokemon catching was so goooood i want it baaaack

#i liked scarlet but i kept going to do things i realized i couldnt do anymore and it made me a lil sad ^^' #i wish they would do more with that game and its mechanics... #asks #anon #i also miss my babygirl as well as dawn and the rest of the not ancestor having cast! we're just putting those designs aside like they #werent cool as hell ??? and [scarvi spoilers] to get rid of the time machine ...okay ingos a side character maye he doesnt matter to the #game but dawn???? whole ass champion gone for eel???? #i miss them both and want them back :pensive: <///3

Hi, I saw your ideal Elias drawing and wanted to let you know that portraying politically and/or socially power people & people in high positions has roots deep in antisemitism. It's derived from the claim that all or most political figures are actually jewish and that Jews thus 'run the media'.

Some further reading: The Atlantic article on why conspiracy theorists always land on the Jews: https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/10/why-conspiracy-theorists-always-land-on-the-jews/671730/

The Guardian article on QAnon and their roots in antisemitic theories: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/25/qanon-conspiracy-theory-explained-trump-what-is

Wikipedia article on the international Jewish conspiracy, which also has a short 'see also' section linking to two more Wikipedia articles on antisemitic conspiracy theories: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Jewish_conspiracy

I'm sure you didn't purposefully portray Elias as an antisemitic stereotype/conspiracy, antisemitism often hides in plain sight, so I wanted to take initiative.

Have a good [insert relevant temporal word here] :) /gen

anon im going to be so straightforward and real with you

my thoughts on this:

it is a... silly little joke. a pun yknow? EELias? we all have a sensible chuckle

i drew him as an eel because i like eels. i love them so much. i would hug and kiss them.

pr sure the most relevant angle for that antisemitic stereotype is lizard people? and he is not a lizard. he is an eel

my elias isn't jewish? so...?

also elias runs a dumb little institute that relies on donors... he has like 5 dollars... i wouldn't exactly describe him as Politically Powerful

i GUESS you could argue that, well he is literally the guy secretly manipulating all events for his evil plans, but like... that isn't why i drew him, specifically, as an eel? review points 1 and 2

...i think when it comes to why folks might feel the urge to send asks like this... i get it can come from a genuinely well-intentioned place, to an extent. but i've talked before about how asks like these come off and how they make me, personally, feel. it's not your job or obligation to write out an essay explaining to me why [your interpretation of my art] means ive drawn something you feel is bad, and thus need to warn me of

like im sorry but ultimately my feeling is that it's just not that deep and kind of a reach, and this ask is frustrating to me because to me it feels like you're taking the worst-faith reading of something innocuous as an excuse to be pedantic in my direction

#echoecho #and goodness knows i've had enough of that on just this blog #how does this always happen i wonder... i always wake up to these anons #i guess it's just bc im a fool who loves posting right before bed #also the fact that dear anon doesn't even say 'eel' in the ask itself is really getting me #anon i'm going to be 100% real with you. the omission of that word specifically makes it seem like #you thought he was a lizard and immediately wrote all this up and then realized the eel pun afterwards but felt you were already in too dee #so you just sent the ask anyway and removed the word lizard #im sure this is not what happened you probably just forgot to type it but. i think i'll keep my version. at least it's funny #bc right now it just sounds like i cant draw anyone in a position of power period. bc that means they're jewish and it's antisemitic #what a way to start my morning...
