completely unrelated to all my recent Doom And Gloom:tm:, i wanna share some screenshots from a friends' minecraft server i've been on for a couple days now

It's me! Stonery! (flowery's face drawn into the side of a quarry, this was done by me because i was bored lol)

a cool ass bridge that flaire (flusteredev) built

The bottom of the quarry, which has a cherry blossom tree and the Enchanting Stonehenge (this area was built by zara (synthwavespirit))

Me and flaire's house!!! (built by flaire, i've just kinda been helping extract resources for it occasionally)

i realize now that i completely forgot to mention that trackside recap is on hold for now, due to a lack of headphones i've gotta ship them out to get them repaired, and once they're fixed i'll make a big singular TSR episode with each month that's missing

[brooke's nook] @brookesnook.nekoweb.org · 15/06/2026

well, we have a winner!!! i think this was probably the best outcome ngl i also refined it a little more, since the original concept kinda just.. didn't line up with anything on the cars??? which looked really odd. but hey now it's more good now

IndyGo livery, specifically the proposed "Indy Star (alt)" livery but refined a little. It's primarily blue, with yellow stripes accenting white stripes, and the Indianapolis flag's star-in-a-ball on the cab car and locomotive

strawpoll.com/05ZdzMx6En6 I have a Poll... which i would like some Answers on . . . this is for deciding on a livery to put on my fictional commuter railroad, IndyGo, which has no relation to the IRL bus company in the same region with the same name.. it's just a good name

a large list consisting of 18 hypothetical paint schemes for a fictional indianapolis-centric commuter railroad

hai i've been gone from bluesky for like 3 months oops in those three months i've: 1. worked on an album, concept art for the album cover seen below 2. completely started from scratch (and finished!) NICTD single level dual cab EMUs for gmod :3 (logos on these drawn by me, btw!!!)

a crude drawing of Brooke holding a piece of track, which is needed to complete a route on a layout. there are four trains, one F7A, one 4-4-4, both of which are orange, and an Acela meeting an AEM-7, both of which are blue. in the background is more of the layout to the left, and a door to leave the room on the right

a screenshot showing two Nippon Sharyo built EMUs in the game Garry's Mod, both are floating. the top one's rear is facing away from the camera with its end of train lights on and is in a full-silver livery, while the bottom one's rear is facing towards the camera, and has its headlights on, this one being in the orange-stripe livery

now, while i don't usually post about this, i think what i do in Garry's Mod 'Trainbuild' has come far enough along to post about. here's my primary projects i've made this year! the last one was made for @brookesnook.nekoweb.org, but i've also collaborated with them on a few other trains!

Norfolk Southern #5346, an EMD GP38-2, in Garry's Mod, on Sunset Gulch 2.

Conrail #1649, an EMD GP15-1, in Garry's Mod, on Sunset Gulch 2. the lighting of this shot isn't the best, but it's the best shot of it i have on-hand

Conrail #2565, an EMD SD70, in Garry's Mod, on Sunset Gulch 2.

ORCA #9174, a rebuilt Budd RDC, in Garry's Mod, on Sunset Gulch 2. the Olympia Regional Commuter Association is a fictional railway which operates on a fictional Canadian province being conceptualized and written about by my partner and myself. i think this livery, which i designed, looks very cool!!

only like 25 minutes into the 25th but it counts

Art of Generi looking at a Generic Glass of Beer, with big text that points at them that reads "21 ->". Generic seemingly saying "? Hmmmm..."

At the bottom of the image is a pile of dust with Generi's face on it, that reads "our bones upon hearing it's June 25th"

When I said that genAI is inherently fascist, this is what I meant -- not just that only fascists are making use of genAI, but that genAI has a specific aesthetic that is now inseparable from modern fascism. Both genAI and fascists are anti-art, and as such they are ideologically aligned.
