I found it kinda funny how not a single Skarloey engine is in Shed 17 or its sequel project G-1 since I checked the wiki this time and I found out that Spencer is actually in the sequel along with other a bunch of engines that I didn't expect. Anyway So I just imagine the Skarloey railway witnessing this bio fussing shit going down and just being like:
Like last year or a couple years ago idk I'm bad with time I had this idea for Disability Pride Month (which is July I think?) to have different characters I had special interest in, who had allegorical and/or literal narratives of disability that really struck me, especially those that included rage against ableism, against the system, and taking their power back in some way (maybe bc of all the jokes about Wrath Month). And then ironically I never got around to it because of my messy ADHD
I was gonna do studies with each character and wrote little notes about how their story arcs involved disability, etc.
Shed 17 struck me hard from a disability perspective, both because the biofused had such brutal physical things happening to their bodies (Thomas moving without fuel by his own strength nearly killing him, and the horrible things that happen when the engines organic parts malfunction, for examples) AND because they were simultaneously being exploited and left to die. I felt Thomas's rage at the end of Project G-1, the pain of being taken advantage of in so many ways, finally breaking through and laying blame on his abusers and "allies" who watched and did nothing alike.
Completely Agree! I never understood the hype behind that video. I mean the gore is cool the first time around, but after that it just gets boring. It doesn’t help that the videos plot has more holes than Swiss cheese and makes even the shoddiest crackfic look like Shakespeare. Honestly, after the initial shock of what happens, the whole video is just bland, repetitive, lazy, overly edgy, badly written, and boring. So, I completely agree, it’s overrated and the only good thing about it is the visuals. Same goes for project g1.
