haven't seen the golden potato of luck in a while!

My first time spotting it! Let's see if it works.

Here We Go. Here We Go. Here We Go.

I genuinely want to know how your minds work when writing a fic or coming up with characters <3

I like to use a number of methods depending on specific characters. Sometimes its a bit more clever, other times its simply "i liked this particular name right now and it stuck."

Some examples

Hunter Black (Hunter because of The Owl House, Black due to backstory)

Natalie Bates (This character is based on Captain Atom from DC for context, Natalie is the feminine version of Nathaniel, Captain Atoms name, and Bates after Cary Bates who created that version of the character)

Kirk Rogers (Kirk after James T. Kirk and Rogers after Buck Rogers)

Not the most unusual names, though all these characters are superheroes so its, y'know.

This is gonna be a not very conventional critic post about rwby, but it’s one that I wanna talk about. This is specifically about how much the trains suck in rwby.

Starting off with the forever fall train, this is bad.

The wheels aren’t even on the rails ffs, how can it run then? What’s the point of having rails and wheels if they’re not even gonna touch.

The subway train also suffers from this but at least some of the wheels are on the tracks

Next is the Argus train… dear lord. This thing is so ugly, this thing looks less like an actual train and more like you asked an AI to generate a futuristic train. Now there are armoured trains in real life, they were used in WW2, but this doesn’t seem to replicate that at all, and looks so awkward and it doesn’t even look like it functions properly.

Finally the mistral train.

Oh boy, first of all the wheels are the biggest issue. The wheels are so fucked up, on real trains they have wheel flanges (the parts of the wheels that guide on the rails) they have them on the inside of the rails. In the mistral one they have flanges both on the inside and out. This would cause excessive friction on the tracks and would cause the train to move slower. Incredibly inefficient.

Secondly the cab and boiler are separated from each other. That would usually be where the firebox is. The point of a steam engine is that the firebox heats up the water in the boiler to make steam that creates pressure and moves the cylinders. The firebox being removed defeats the purpose. Also the cow catcher on the front it too high to be able to do it’s purpose which is to not run over any livestock that may stumble onto the rails. It defeats the purpose of having it.

I know this stuff doesn’t matter in the long run but as someone who’s special interest is trains, this kinda thing is important to me and I just want to talk about it

Particularly on the Mistral train, to expand on that problem.

(Diagram from Mustard on YouTube)

The Conical shape of the wheel is overall the thing that keeps trains steady, and the flanges are moreso there as a secondary measure. As trains go faster, they wobble more to the left and right, which leads to the flanges scraping against the rails. This is a problem called Hunting Oscillation.

Since the Mistral train has flanges on both sides, its possible to presume the wheels are FLAT, neither of which are good things. As is said: If that train encounters a turn it'll scrape on EITHER side. It'll be noisy, slow, and theres frankly no good reason to have it.

They screwed up Train Engineering 101
