Trans Megathread for the Week of 2024-10-07 to 2024-10-13 - ETR 600

The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

  • We do!

    A lot of video game romances are fun for this, they basically do the easy thing so the fan fic writers have two choices - Write the whole thing again with internal monologues or from the perspective of the npc getting rizzed OR and this is the better one, they continue the story and keep the relationship intact. These are usually the better ones, and also harder since they have to make up new shit instead of treading the same trodden path

    • Video game romances brow

      • Yeah i know

        they are a good place for starting something or....just rewriting the whole thing, the truly best ones rewrite the whole thing and then continue the relationship beyond the game emilie-shrug

        • You got any good viddygaem romance suggestions...?

          • ugh....fuck... how cringe can you withstand?

            • I don't wanna cringe I want good gay kissin' :3

              • ok so Bioware is out some honorable mentions though. Dragon Age 2 has some fun romance stuff, because it has the rivalry / friendship system. You can totally piss each other off incredibly but still have a relationship with hatefucking and tough lessons when it comes to some of them. Dragon Age Inquisition has the Solas romance, it's not gay though. Mass Effect doesnt allow you to romance Tali as Femshep so it's trash. Garrus can't save that no matter how much reach he has.

                okay uhh let me think

                NWN 2 Mask of the Betrayer has a good romance with the red wizard companion you get, but it's again from the dark era and thus is only for the hets.

                Cyberpunk has Judy and there's some tension with Songbird but that doesnt go anywhere sadly. You can find some fics for the latter though. The Judy romance is pretty good and has some sweet moments. Also a sex scene which....uhhh...moving on.

                Baldur's Gate 3 has Shadowheart and Karlach as in goth mommy and muscle mommy. They're both pretty well incorporated into the plot and can change a lot depending what you do. Bittersweet or just fucked up endings along with maybe some good ones? I'm not sure, I havent played the newest version.

                Expeditions Vikings has a norse witch you can have a relationship with in a homosexual way, I remember it being nicely written. Expeditions Rome has a scythian mercenary to romance, but I dont remember it being that good, the het ones are probably better unfortunately.

                Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous has some good ones, I mostly played the Arushalae one because I'm a basic bitch and love that trope, but there's also a weird half spider lady who has a massive chip on her shoulder, Pathfinder Kingmaker DLC adds a pair of tiefling sisters and you can finesse your way into a poly relationship with both of them.That wasnt awfully written I seem to recall. hm there's also a open relationship you can smooth your way into You can also romance the big bad in a gay way angel-biblical-shh

                hm what else.......lea-think....Stardew Valley? i think that's all i got for now nia-peace
