i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

Nothing can describe the joy of getting a new piece of clothing and finding out how many pockets it has where you previously thought it had, like, two pockets.

In your learned opinion, how would you define the difference between a street car, a tram and a trolley bus
In my mind the street car is a single carriage that goes on rails alongside normal traffic in the street, relying on overhead cables, a tram is the same but often with a dedicated lane and multiple carriages - like a mini train, and a trolley bus is like a normal bus with rubber wheels (able to change lanes & overtake traffic), but powered off the trams electrical wires via a trapeze tips mechanism on the back. Is this right?
I would pretty much agree with your distinctions
A trolley bus is literally just a bus that is powered through trolley poles instead of an internal combustion engine
I typically see Trams and Streetcars as the European and American words for the same thing, but I would say Trams feel like they are more likely to have dedicated ROW while a streetcar is more likely to be just street running

If someone were to walk up to you right now and ask you which way is north, and you couldn't look anything up, would you know immediately, would you have to take a minute to figure it out, or would you not be able to answer?

akari, upon getting a comment about her uniform, no matter the comment: thanks, it has POCKETS
random bullshit PLA idea:
akari, upon getting her survey corps uniform, realises it has pockets. every time someone asks about the uniform, she will mention this. she doesn't know where this instinct comes from, but like...it has pockets, people!
when she meets ingo, he makes a vague comment about it seeming very practical. she sticks her hands in the pockets and very happily says "yes, it has pockets!"
Ingo immediately remember's elesa's love for pockets (because seriously, dresses without pockets suck, and elesa knows this) and this triggers a flood of memories
thank god for pockets, amiright?
