That's not how that works. The reason that Vampires don't have reflections in mirrors was because mirrors used to be made of silver. Silver is a conduit for holiness and would reject the vampires unholy form. So modern non silver mirrors wouldn't have the same effect. So she's clearly not a vampire, she's clearly a spooky ghost and was dead the whole time, Sixth Sense style

I know that soi = estrogen, but...

That's nonsense that modern autists came up with to try and find the "logic" to vampires.

They had no reflection because some smelly villagers were spreading stories and someone went "and they have no reflection!"

It caught on.

Theirs this car where your reflections are sentient and she finds a way to let it roam the train.

>logic
Dude, vampires are just made-up shit too. It doesn't matter if someone adds more to it or not. The is no right or wrong made-up shit.

Sorta.

If someone wants to make up some logic to it for a story or something, sure, go to town.

Where I have a problem is I keep seeing people acting like this is how the legends started, because peasants were going "yes, their reflection won't show, because mirrors are made of silver, and silver is pure!"

Peasants were not that clever. But hey, as long as we understand that it's modern bullshitting and not the real origin of the legend, whatever floats your boat.

Silver is antimicrobial, similar to garlic.
most of the time silver is treated as a remedy for bad magical shit though it's because it's impure and contains iron, which disrupts the electromagnetic lines that conduct mana to the fair folk. running water does this too, but vampires aren't inherently magical, they're just the offspring of people who fucked bats. and they're kooky in the head (because you'd kinda have to be) and have a lot of common mental disorders like fear of rivers or arithmomania.

onions are fucking delicious.
and she lives in mosquito central. the compounds coming out of her pores are keeping her from catching zika.

>Peasants were not that clever.
Pease stop treating the "mud ages" as a historical thing.

Want to buy the foot of St. Teresa? Guaranteed to be the real deal! I'm not like those other relic-dealers, preying on the gullible.

>which disrupts the electromagnetic lines that conduct mana to the fair folk
Yes, because superstitious pagans understood electromagnetism.

Oh, that takes me back. I love Ross.

No, she's just a ginger.
No soul = no reflection

She still has a shadow, her reflection just came to life and left while she was on a magic train. Now that she's back in real world, she still has no reflection to show how it was real and not just some kind of dream.

Man, that sucks for her. Now every time she needs to check her appearance she's going to have to take a picture.

>onions are fucking delicious
Yes, but not when you bite into a raw one like a fucking apple. Raw onion only belongs in certain dishes where the very sharp acidity is a compliment to the rest of the dish. Only literal animals eat raw onion alone.

Won't people eventually notice her not having a shadow? This has some disturbing implications like are all the characters' reflections (including her black friend and parents) sentient? Are they all hoping to overthrow their prime counterparts one day?

>Local child returns after 5 months missing

Tabloids aren't going to leave her alone.

>newfag doesn't know what a tripfag is
user, just go
you're right, but just fuck off for a bit because you sound dumb

If any human hormone analogues survive the processing and cooking process, your hormone receptors were fucked anyway.

I've always loved these two goofs. they're such a classic combo

>processing
a buzzword that include merely peeling a fruit
>EVERYTHING DIES WHEN COOKED
nope, you are just retarded now.

Modern mirrors still have silver compounds in them

I'm surprised no one noticed in the 7 months that she's been home.

You seem to come off like an idiot here

that ending was so weak, what the fuck was the deal with everything?
the pilot was so promising, f u c k

Complex hydrocarbons denature when heated. The compounds in gay onions that act like estrogen can barely survive being left in the sun too long, let alone any typical kitchen heating temperatures.

I'm a culinary science major, fight me irl.

No, they don't. Aluminum is vacuum deposited onto a piece of glass.

Fanfic bait.

I think she got sent back to the wrong home... or they had to cut out the whole "where the hell have you been for the past 5+ months?!?!".

she's a true redhead and as such she doesn't have a soul

>Also I feel like we were left with more questions than we were with answers by the end of this series.
I feel the reverse. Rather, they revealed the wrong things. a) a mere human is able to single-handedly game an elidrich train and take over it with no oposition, b) the train's driving force is benevolent by nature, and c) the maelstrom beam is just the way home. With those three things you completely remove the train itself as something to fear and be wary of. Next seasons either have to be passanger v . passanger or something breaking out of its car for there to be a faint sense of urgency. And honestly, the more I think about that the less of chance I want to give to season 2.

cool instagram meme from last month, normalfag

Teens just use their phones as mirrors anyway.

>not having a shadow?
why would she not have a shadow. reflections aren't shadows. she would have to go to the Peter Pan car to lose her shadow.

It is you who are a normie for saying other people are normies. Way to follow the sheep, there.

Tulip strongly reminds me of a girl I was dating when I was 14. I wish I stayed in touch with her and not became depressed once hormones truly kicked in.

Based

I can't believe that a tripfag, and Misha at that, is the only one making sense in this thread.
We're truly at the end times.

That cat looks like its wearing a fingerless glove

is this show just silent hill (PG) but its a train instead of a town?

It's not really scary.

This is awful. How will she know if she has zits to pop?

Now Van Helsing makes sense.

i meant the part about a "thing" trying to heal you

I really don't get why One One has no control over the passengers and cant just let them leave, I'm sure a lot of them have been there for years but if the go back it's like no time has passed? What if they die? Does the train need to do this for something. I hope they don't rush these plot points in the second season.

He might be the Conductor, but I don't think he started the train or established the way that it works. He seems like more of an overseer.

I felt exactly the same.

Yeah, I know it was going to have a happy ending, but I really liked how the first episode basically felt like a horror movie, with Tulip trapped on this endless machine of unknown origin in a hostile wasteland, with passengers potentially dropping like flies and certain death for anyone who tried to break the rules and run away.

But I guess the only real threat now are the other passengers. Which could be interesting I suppose, if they had any reason to mean each other harm.

>the train's driving force is benevolent by nature
Keeping people captive until they're happy hardly seems benevolent.

It is when you seem to have infinite time and power to help them.

Therapist with a gun to your head.

I get cured or die. Sounds like win-win to me.

i've found my people

Any TRUE explanation to why she has no reflection?

Yes there's literally a whole episode about it.

She took a hike. What else do you need to know?

Ah, i see you didn't watch the show at all...

The way they look each other...

They're like "Finally, my own clone! Now none of us will be a virgin!"...

Please make out.

Nerd and tomboy girl team, best team.

She got free therapy sessions AND vampirism?
Fucking score!

Time flows the same on Earth and in the Infinity Train dimension. Tulip spent 5 months there so she was missing for 5 months on Earth.

True. Plus season 2 will have the additional problem that to bring back 2 of the 3 characters it will have to do a) oh no I have to go back to the train again b) oh no i am dumb again so that i no longer run the whole train world with all info.
Add that any new characters will have to discover the mystery of the hand numbers while the audience already knows will take up time.

I kind of feel that the train has unintentional dark aspect with that. You are you but this outside party is telling you to think and behave differently. When you arrive, it as a different personality in mind for you and not only sets it as a goal measured as 0 but measures how much your way of thinking and character deviates from the way it wants you to be with the hand numbers.
Tulip has a clear character arc, but recall that the end result of her character arc was decided on by the train. The train chose where her character arc would end.
This is like some soft mind control or manipulation of people.

Deviantart, get to it!

It's a farmer stereotype bro. Supposed to show how hardy and salt of the earth they are

Imagine, you could be a virgin but your reflection was a CHAD the whole time, and he's forced to do this beta shit because of you.

don't matter if ya like it or not

God train gives you all the trials and lessons not to get where you want to go but where you need to go. Self-destructive tendencies, hurting others for your own gain, ignoring the plight of those you see as other are all things the train tries to tell you are wrong.

And unlike real life you get real time feedback from the creator even if you have no idea what's going on. It's not trying to change you through outside means but rather giving you infinite opportunities to change yourself. Even Amelia and all her sins can redeem herself by moving forward and working to be a better person.

When she does she can leave the samsara train and actually live- the key that opens the door will always be with her. The train is a mother not just to 1-1 but a nurturing force to all the passengers- even has defenses against soul sucking parasites that would block their path.(but nothing to keep someone from choosing that wasteland of the soul for themselves)

Yes, but the problem lies in what is defined as improved or good for you. The train is the definition of I know what's best for you. It will let you go but only if you change in the way it wants. The numbers go up if you change in a way it doesn't want you to change.
The train gets away with a lot because of writing conventions and subtly. If the train from the very beginning was blunt and upfront it would be different.
If upon arriving a screen appeared saying that the way you act isn't good and that the train knows the best way for you to behave and will release you when you start acting in that manner, it would immediately be met with opposition from most people not wanting others to decide what is best for them.
Who is to say that the train's morals have more value than any other morals. For example, who is to say accepting a bad situation is better than trying to fix it.

pilot design concept art > final design > how the pilot design's concept art ended up translating to animation

The Train is just a metaphor, though.
It does not decide anything.
What the number means is whether you are ready to return home and live the life you sought to run from.
It's the train of going nowhere, a conceptual representation of running away from your life from which you can only return if you are ready to face your realities.
What is a good decision is naturally dictated by the writers, but you should not ascribe a divine will to the train as an entity. It's just an endlessly confusing set of challenges that mirror the confusion of the passengers. Only if you master the weird and begin to feel like you can deal with anything this confusing mess (JUST LIKE LIFE! GET IT?!) tosses at you, do you pass.
The Train is only a hero's journey into his own mind.

What are you talking about, the ending was perfect. Every big question we've had got a satisfying answer, and Tulip really stepped up as a hero.
