Looking at Tony and Jack’s relationship:
I’ve seen some discussion on if they were really friends. Jack refers to Tony as his best friend by default because Jack spends so little significant time with anyone else. The bathroom cowboy would probably be his other most consistent interaction.
I don’t think this is put in to signify a bond between him and Tony, but to highlight the isolation Jack has with society. His only & best friend is someone he has maybe one superficial work conversation with a day & he knows little to no information about. Some of the conversations they have aren’t even to each other but hallucinations Jack has. It highlights the mental state of Jack & that he truly has no one in his life at the beginning of his story.
Jerry being a big part of saving Jack from Tony acts as a catalyst for Jack opening himself up to making meaningful connections. Jerry took a bullet for him. The contrast of Jack & Tony’s friendship makes what Jerry & Jack have so much deeper. One of my favorite pairs in literary history. Truly love this series. So many layers.

tony for the gas station doodle requests (stares like a small animal that is about to be punted across a room)
i've never drawn him before but i ended up liking this design. (ps, sorry if this goes against cannon because i honestly can't remember any description of him lol. not sure if it's my garbage memory or if he just isn't described ^_^")

Went through and decided to compile all cute/heartwarming moments (in my opinion) in the tftgs books so here is volume 1 (context under the cut with spoilers)
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
first pic is from page 165 and right before Benjamin walks into the gas station and gets Jack and Tony to follow him out to his car. Side note I find it really funny (and kinda sad) that Jack got so caught off guard by Tony asking him to hang out
second pic is from page 174 and its Jack in the hospital after he was attacked and left in a hole by Spencer
and third pic is from page 250 and it is Tony pleading to his employer to let Jack live after Jack found out Tony had been spying on the gas station/ planning on blowing it up :((

My favorite part about that end scene with Tony, Jack and Jerry is that while Jerry's being his goofy self, making jokes while they're held at gunpoint, his body language is always very clearly protective of Jack.
"Tony shoved me forward so hard I nearly fell on my face,e but Marlboro caught me and helped me along,"
Marlboro laughed and took another step back to stay right at my side
Marlboro stepped back with me [...]
"If you're going to execute people, do me first!" He jumped between us, [...]
"Move out of the way!" Tony commanded, but Marlboro pretended he couldn't hear the order and bent down to help me up.
Marlboro pulled me to my feet and handed me the crutches
"You keep going. I'm going to lead him back the other way. He can't chase both of us."

uhhh, so TFGS headcanons????? fuck
(below cut)
Rosa
- when Rosa was younger, like 7-10 yrs old kinda, she didnt know how to say words like 'phenomenon', the 'f' sound of 'ph' confused her so much
- when she first started working at the gas station, she hadn't had any paranormal experiences. She also didn't believe in the Higher Realms
- Rosa never really was friends with Tony, even though they worked alot of day shifts together
- when she was a teenager, she listened to South Park Mexican absolutely RELIGIOUSLY
- she LOVESSSS Kali Uchis
————
Jerry
(strangest guy..,,.,. the man ever)
- Jerry listens to the strangest shit, he managed to find an unreleased album from Frank Sinatra??
- absolute glow-in-the-dark fanatic. Shoelaces, shirts, jewelery, literally ANYTHING
- makes references to the most obscure shit ever. From commercials to newspapers, it's insane
- funko pop collector. To the point that he forgets which he has, and he accidentally buys the same ones
- he LOVES the hunger games, he has the books and blu-ray discs and everything
- sneezes SO. FUCKING. LOUD. that shit could wake the dead and enlighten the deaf
————
Jack
- he has so many books he has to put them shits in those huge ass plastic boxes, you know the ones??
- with all the shit he's seen at the gas station, he really does NOT care if someone dies and it shows up on the news
- Jerry keeps giving him beads and rocks. He doesn't know what to do with them so he puts them into the glove department in his car
- sometimes Jack gets so detached from reality that seeing viscerally bright and neon colors is a relief for him
- he's double jointed!! He doesn't use this weird fucking thing often because it's kinda useless but still
————
Tony/Carlos
(so delusional about this fucker what)
- he was in track for a little while in middle school, runs so fast it's fucking scary
- catholic, but Tony is SURE he's going to hell
- knows how to use a crossbow very, VERY well!! No particular reason for this but crossbows are a really fucking hot weapon
- fucking converse shoe wearer I swear
- mostly writes in pen, because pencils don't really look that nice with the way he writes
- definitely gatekeeps where he buys his clothes (thrift stores)
- Tony doesn't really like wearing normal T-shirts, the sleeves have to end just above the elbow for him to be comfortable while wearing it.
- prefers savory to sweet, but he does occasionally like something sugary.

Comm - Reindeer Academia (Reindeer TF/TG)
As my last holiday post for this TFTuesday, I wanted to share a couple of comms I previously got by the talented YeppersPeppers! In this case, we see a duo of TFs into two of the internet's favorite reindeer. First up, none other than the cotton-candy loving Straw Hat Doctor, Tony Tony Chopper of One Piece! Secondly, Deltarune's adorkable deer next door, Noelle Holiday!

[Image Description: A drawing of Antonio from the Tales From the Gas Station series, shown from behind and the waist up with his shirt off. Antonio is a leanly muscular Latino man with brown skin and dark brown, curly hair. In the drawing, Antonio stands in a relaxed posture with his arms at his sides. He has small scars on his arms and back, including three bullet scars on his lower back, and a pair of wing tattoos across his shoulder blades. He’s wearing a pair of dark jeans, and he stands against a tan, lightly textured background with dark semicircles around the top corners. End ID.]
i don’t have an excuse for myself tbh, i just love antonio so so dearly and wanted to draw him from behind as well. i needed a reference for where all of his scars are.
(not placing this one under the cut b/c nothing is showing so tumblr (hopefully) won’t try to take me tf out.)
