Hey, do you have discord?
I'm okay now probably.
So INFINITY TRAIN RIGHT
Basically it's a train that kidnaps people and forces them to deal with their problems.
Each season follows a new character(s) so I'll go through the season one by one in order of how we as the viewer see it.
Book 1, Tulip Olsen.
Tulip is a 13 year old girl whose parents are divorced. The first episode immediately sets up Tulips main problem, her inability to deal with the divorce, and her denial that she's having trouble dealing with it.
This is shown in when her friends asks if it's weird now and she shuts her off saying that lots of people's parents get divorced, it's fine, and also when her mom says Tulip's dad can't take Tulip to coding camp cause of scheduling issues and she blows up at her and blames the divorce for everything.
After this, Tulip decides that if no one else will take her to coding camp, she'll go there herself.
So she packs her stuff and puts on her BIG BOOTS
idk why her boots make me so happy, they're just a giant pair of boots and I love it. Anyway, she gets ready and leaves through her window to start... running to Oshkosh (the place where Coding Camp is) that's just her plan. Run there. Might be like idk a few weeks late but you'll get there- not the point, sorry, I'll continue.
She starts running and the sun sets. Suddenly a train appears in front of her, a regular, normal train, and just as it pulls into the station, it changes the destination to Oshkosh, the place where Tulip is trying to go...
Now before I continue, it's a little concerning that it changed its destination like that, because that train is definitely not going to Oshkosh. It's tricking her into getting on the train, not letting her get on at her own free will. Keep that in mind, we'll talk more on it later.
So Tulip enters the train without a second thought, a little weird considering she's quite the analytical mind and she would probably question it at least a bit before going on, I mean it's a train in the middle of nowhere, but whatever.
Tulip enters the train and is transported onto the real train where she meets One-One. A denizen of the train.
One-One tells her that he's looking for his mom, and omg One-One is just... I love him, he's so great, omg.
Okay listen I'm gonna just send this now and continue later cause I'm scared if the page reloading.
OKAY OMG OKAY WE BACK
So One-One is looking for his mom.
oh this is one-one btw:
anyway Tulip starts ditching One-One, or trying to, he just follows her, and she walks until she finds a door. One-One says it's impossible to open (this is important) and Tulip opens it, this is when she notices she's actually on a train, previously she thought she just fell asleep and dreamt up a train, so she starts asking questions, but less confused wtf where am I questions more wow this is so cool how does it work questions... it only goes downhill from here.
So she runs into the next train car, the Grid Car, the car this episode is centered around. So basically if you press on a grid it makes a little cube sort of, and you can just build up these cubes into whatever you want. So Tulip and One-One are having fun, Tulip tells One-One about her game and One-One tells Tulip his name, One-One.
Tulip throws her glove at the ceiling cause ✨Ceiling Cube✨ and when she goes to put her glove back on, she's got a glowing number on her hand... this is when the panic begins.
The train stops and Tulip runs out to see what's going on, and sees the wonderful view of "this is not where I fucking live where am I?" and witnesses someone get fucking evaporated so... yk, traumatized, great stuff. She gets off the train and tries to run back home... again, what's with her and running to places she probably can't run to?
Whatever- anyway, she gets stuck in some mud, and it gets EVEN WORSE as these weird cockroach demon things just crawl up out of the ground to ask about Tulip's car's extended warranty, and she, naturally runs the fuck away from them because fuck that, frogs are bitches, and we don't negotiate with weird cockroach demon things, I'm not sure if you even get that reference, but if you do, damn, are you okay?
So she runs back into the grid car and almost gets the life sucked out of her by one of the cockroach demons, at which point One-One saves her by, SPLITTING IN TWO
and hitting the cockroach demon thing in the face. Tulip asks One-One to make a wall, which he does, trapping the cockroach demon and allowing Tulip to escape. Our first episode ends here... fun.
Next episode is The Beach Car, the episode where we meet Randall and the only character that shows up in every single season, The Cat.
I'm feeling very nauseous rn cause writing a lot makes me feel dizzy so give me some time to compose myself.
