underground station // essen rüttenscheid

tile art and the underground, two things that are inseparable for me. although the station is from the late eighties, the pattern could also be from the post-war era.

The Subway Showdown: Contrasting Public Transportation Design Internationally

After reflecting on the differences in public restroom design between the U.S. and Western Europe, I started contemplating the differences in other international public facilities. The first and most striking comparison that came to mind was the contrast in public transportation systems.

U.S. subway systems have always been uncomfortable and poorly designed. It doesn't appear that we've put much intentionality into these systems as they don't seem to prioritize a positive user experience. In contrast, many European subway systems are known for their clean and efficient design, making it easy for users to navigate and feel comfortable while commuting.

During my time in London, I had the pleasure of riding the new Elizabeth Line, previously known as Crossrail. The railway's sleek design, spacious platforms, and modern amenities prioritize user experience and comfort, contributing to a unique and inviting travel experience. The incorporation of technology in the train system makes it incredibly easy to navigate and understand the routes.

My curiosity was piqued upon using the new Elizabeth Line. After delving into its background story, I found out that this massive infrastructure project has finally come to fruition after many years of planning. The rail line expands from Liverpool Street to Paddington, with offshoots leading to Heathrow and Abbey Wood, aiming to significantly enhance London's rail passenger capacity. The line features 10 new stations, eight of which are underground, and an impressive frequency of 24 trains per hour. The project is characterized by its large engineering endeavors, such as tunneling with enormous machines, and its focus on sustainability.

Grimshaw, an architecture firm, has led the effort to create standardized design elements for platforms, concourses, escalators, and ticket halls, resulting in a uniform design language for the Elizabeth Line. The cladding of the tunnel stations is a standout feature, as it is made of glass fiber-reinforced concrete panels, providing a seamless and well-lit environment.

While each station has its own unique design elements, the Elizabeth Line has maintained a consistent design language. But despite prioritizing a more uniform and standardized design, the Elizabeth Line still allows for unique features and artwork at each station. Overall, the Elizabeth Line is a remarkable engineering feat that will have a significant impact on London's transportation for years to come.

The Elizabeth Line's success highlights the importance of prioritizing human-centered design principles in public facilities, especially those that people rely on for their daily lives. By putting user experience and comfort at the center of the design process, public transportation systems can encourage more people to use them, ultimately leading to more sustainable and efficient cities. It's time for U.S. cities to take note and prioritize human-centered design principles in their public transportation systems.

Yours creatively, HM

finally at that age where i'm thinking i should get a tattoo. not bc i feel strongly about it, just seems like a waste not to. i've got so much skin i'm not using

#feels so selfish like. all this skin what am i saving it for?#open to design suggestions! (please make me regret this offer)#maybe some deep sea horrors. a pretty watercolor of a gulper eel #once saw a person on the subway with various Skeleton Tattoos on all their limbs #i respected their commitment to the theme #but more than that i respected how all the skeletons were engaged in Activities #dancing in a ballgown. juggling its own (and two other???) skulls. swordfighting. being a mermaid skeleton #ANYWAY. the only reason i haven't already gotten tattoos is i just couldn't be bothered #i'm old enough to know i don't have any strong-but-potentially-temporary feelings driving me towards it #aesthetically i prefer decorated to non-decorated surfaces. but i'm not artistic or thrilled with commitment #honestly it feels like sheer laziness. indecisiveness--nay. immaturity!--that i HAVEN'T gotten a tattoo yet #letting all this blank canvas go to waste. tut tut i need to grow up and be an adult and get a tattoo sleeve already.#really i've put off my responsibilities long enough #(in fairness i DID at one time have 18 different piercings)#(but i took most of them out bc they interfere with wearing headphones and/or shoving my face in my pillow during Sleep Time)#(i only kept the nape piercing bc oddly enough it ended up being the most convenient. and the least painful to get now i think about it.)#(neck piercing? no problem. normal pair of earrings? Tribulations And Suffering. i don't make the rules i just poke them with a stick.)

I will always be a normal guy defender, I don't want vigilantes who always look like super models unless it makes sense for their characters (Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Kori Anders). I want super-heros that look like the guy you could stumble on the supermarket. Your classmate. Your coworker. A random face in a ocean of people. Absolutely and completely forgetful unless you love them.

I want super-heros to take of their mask and the person be like "THAT'S JUST SOME GUY." their face leak and people be like "WHO 🗣️🗣️ THE FUCK IS THAT⁉️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥" enough with conventionally attractive heros who look like bodybuilders more some heros who would be your Uber driver and you wouldn't pay attention to them twice.

#I know beuty sells but something about the reali of this really got me #specially about characters like Peter Parker Jason Todd or Barbara Gordon #there's no need for them to be an IMVU character #this is why I loved Barbara Gordon design in Gotham Knights and her old design in the 90's #because she IS pretty #but she looks like a girl I could borrow a pencil on class or sit next to the subway #and not callie jenner sister #q rambles

THEY ARE ELECTRIC STARTER BUDDIES NOW.

Emmet and tynamo become partners! With a buddy in his pocket (literally), Emmy’s becoming bolder by the day.

Plus a bonus Ingo. (He has not found a starter yet. Here's his feelings on that.)

For more, check out the submas masterpost!

HELLO HI

God I love the Submas fandom, all of you are so nice <3

In any case, I have a silly Au for y'all to munch on.

Allow me to introduce you all to Covalent Twins :]

Covalent

Adjective

- Relating to or denoting chemical bonds formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Or in this case, the sharing of Emmet between 2 Ingos from different timelines NSNDNNDDD.

This Au is essentially the answer to the question: "doesn't being sent to the distant past inherently mean you are also now long dead in the future you just left?"

The answer is yes and no btw

The explanation for this involves a lot of time nonsense that I'm very bad at explaining but the Tldr is basically this:

When Ingo gets sent to the past, this creates a connection between the past and the future. This makes time get all fucky and split into two separate timelines (Timeline A and Timeline B)

Timeline A:

Time in this timeline runs parallel to the future as long as Ingo stays within it (essentially, if Ingo stays in the past for 2 years, then 2 years pass in the present).

Due to this connection, Akari (aka Dawn) gets sent to this timeline (But not Timeline B) and the game events of PLA play out (+ a lot more Ingo bonding because uncle Ingo supremacy)

Akari manages to get her and Ingo sent back home with the power of Arceus, causing both timelines to merge back together again into one cohesive line with only the events of Timeline B being remembered by history.

Ingo and Emmet get their happy ending.

This Ingo got sent to Hisui when he was 29, stayed there for 2 years, and went home when he was 31.

And Timeline B:

This timeline was created as a cannon fodder timeline so Akari and Ingo can keep doing time shenanigans in Timeline A without disturbing the space time continuum even more.

This timeline is therefore not connected to the future the same way Timeline A is.

The Ingo of this timeline (Nicknamed "War" or "Warden" for simplicity.) lives through the PLA game events but with Rei taking the place of Akari.

War doesn't bond with him the same way Ingo does with Akari because Rei isn't a faller.

The events of the game are the exact same (minus the Arc phone, Rei taking the place of Akari, and catching Arceus).

Despite Rei calming the nobles and catching Palkia and Dialga, he is still not the chosen hero. Warden is unable to go home or regain his memories.

Warden lives in Hisui and serves as a warden for the Pearl Clan for a total of 7 years before dying alongside his partner pokemon, Gliscor (nicknamed Nimbasa), while protecting Lady Sneasler from a Zoroark attack at the age of 36.

Warden drifts as a ghost for many years, with only Nimbasa the Gliscor as company. He watches his friends grow old, and eventually die. They pass on to the afterlife, but Warden stays on earth, wandering the Alabaster Icelands and Mount Coronet, searching for people from a life he can't remember even in death.

Warden watches as Hisui changes into Sinnoh. Jubilife Village becomes Jubilife City. Pokemon species die out and new ones are born.

As the world slowly becomes more and more familiar, the great Sinnohs, Palkia and Dialga, take pity on the lost warden, and decide together to lead him home.

It may take 150 years, and many miles of travel, but Warden is pulled by an unknown force towards the Unova region. Though he is unable to touch anything or speak to anyone, it's all so painfully familiar.

He is pulled towards Nimbasa city, (ah! That's where he got the name from!) and eventually to an apartment.

There, he is greeted by a young girl, barely 17. A man in black, who looks exactly like him, give or take a few years and a few scars.

And a smiling man in white. The man he has been searching for for over 150 years...

And they're staring at him, truly staring at him, not through him.

Why is the man in white crying?

*evil laughter.mp3*

So yeah! The twins have an older brother now :D

I mean he's dead and also Ingo just 5 years older and from a different timeline but still!!!

If you've made it this far I believe you deserve a gold star ⭐ and also some art for your troubles.

So here's War and Nimbasa ↓

And some fluffy interaction between War and Emmet as a bandaid.

If you guys have any questions regarding how this Au works, or are interested in seeing more of it, don't hesitate to shoot me an ask :D

I hope I enjoyed reading about my silly Au, even if it was a bit long lol.

*fades back into the void of Submas fics.*
