Personalized Insults

So my friend @sekiumiarashi and I have created a bit of Sodor culture between the engines. That being personalized insults. The insults are a sign you know and care enough about the engine to know how they fucked up. You want to show you care but also say “fuck off you’re being a bitch”. Every engine has them, Thomas having the most. Here are some

Gordon: Oh go up a hill. // Mr. Ditchwater // Did lose your way again?/Who lost the route for you this time? // Mr. Diesel Buffers // Domeless

Thomas: Go fall down a mine. // Mr. I make good decisions (mainly used by Edward) // Remember your coaches this time? // Gone fishing?/Got fish in your boiler? // Enjoy your world tour? (Whenever he’s late) // regular law breaker

Percy: Dirty Percy // You get in a jam? // Did you have a snack break? (When he’s late) // Mr. Whistle-mouth // Non-refundable (only in our au)

James: Don’t get your bootlaces in a twist // Mr. Buzzbox // Mr. Bridge-cracker (by Toby and Gordon only) // Tar-face/tar-wagon

Henry: Get stuck in a tunnel // Sir Improper Funnel (by Percy only)

Emily: Your highness

Edward: Mr. Know the rails (by Gordon only in our au) // Lose a water wheel?/Lose a wheel?

Feel free to add more if you’d like.

I don't know why Tumblr insists on giving me Murder Yuri, when I want silly Bi People, but it is giving me Momo and Okarun and I still haven't even watched Dandadan, so there's that.

This is probably going to be an Owl House situation where the main ship get's me invested isn't it.

There's an untapped comical potential when it comes to the engines and their near-immortal status...

And by that I mean, not enough people are writing just how simultaneously present and detached the engines are, when it comes to experiencing historical events beyond the impact the first and second world wars had on the railway industry.

The older engines especially should be saying the most unhinged things in reference to events that, to them are barely just footnotes and curiosities, but to their crew or passengers were huge in terms of socio-political upheaval and what not.

I mean, come on...

Here's a good example: Gordon was built around 4 years after women were granted voting power in the UK. To him the concept of women's suffrage and feminism was likely nothing new or strange, because he was created after a major event of women's rights. He would have thusly absorbed the notion that men and women deserve to be regarded with similar if not the same amount of respect (which explains why he of all engines doesn't fuss or argue too much when Dowager Hatt takes control of Sir Topham Hatt's duties, even if she's not exactly good at it).

Meanwhile engines who predate him in build would probably still consider this a fairly novel thing because they were built during a time when such things would be unthinkable and not to be openly talked about (not that they much see a point in denying the rights of this or that human, but they're still likely aware of the sociatal standards even if they make little sense to them).

They might even need a while to adapt to speaking of such events without fear of repercussions, as they would likely not be strangers to keeping both passenger's and railway worker's affairs out of their mouths to ensure no harm came to those they served or were serviced by (and I'd recommend looking into the Pullman Company's ties with Black History for further emphasis on this).

Here's another good example:

Depending on where exactly you'd put Edward in this limitted production line, he's very likely experienced quite a few historical events both first and second hand. Some bigger, some smaller.

What I need to draw attention to, is that Edward would be aware enough of his general surroundings and what his crew and passengers talk about, to say some rather eyebrow raising things... Such as:

"Oh this day has been more hectic than the time they attempted to assassinate the Prince of Wales..."

"I haven't felt this young and spry since children were still allowed in the mines!"

"This is more of a mystery than when those three poor souls vanished in the Flannan Isles..."

"Driver told me that his missus and children took ill. It sounded near as bad as when the North West of England had an outbreak of arsenic poisoning... God bless, I hope it's just one of those seasonal stomach bugs I've heard of...."

And that's just Edward innocently spouting historical facts as yesterday's news type anecdotes. Imagine all the juicy things Emily would have to say :)

Yes, he is a bit too young to be a Crime Boss, that isn't going to stop him.

HEEHEEHEE….

IT GETS BETTER!!!

the crew looking awesome as ever

Мои любимые персонажи Геройки БакуСквад просто лучший//// 4 из них точно делят топ1 в моём сердечке хаха/)

Вообще-то я планировала только Мину и Серо. Но что-то пошло не так И я рад этому/) Всех их вместе я ещё не рисовкала)

Also having read hus Biography, I can state the rather unfortunate reasoning for the use of the N word was shoe polish.

Yeah it was used as a colour name on those tins, hence him using it as a noun in HtGE, he basically was trying to say the boys looked like they had been covered in shoe polish, and wrote it in the worst way possible.

a reminder that

• the Rev Awdry named Mavis after his neighbor

• Daisy and Mavis were the only diesels to have a redemption arc

• Daisy was the first diesel owned by the NWR, and the first diesel to not be prejudiced against steam engines (every female diesel would follow this trend)

• Chris Awdry chose a pair of female diesels to succeed Gordon

• despite both Daisy and Mavis undergoing similar character development, they are unique in personality. They are also friends and don't try to undercut one another

• Annie and Clarabel are written as more sensible than Thomas, the Skarloey coaches are written as unruly and mischievous to their engines, and Henrietta is written as Toby's equal (character diversity)

• the Rev Awdry's wife is the whole reason we have the books, and ergo, the TVS

The man never cared about gender. He cared about good characters.

Big fan of old Fumi, but this will probably be the only time I draw him nicely.

Horikoshi I don't know if you can hear me but give him a sword, he works with Hawks, like this is the perfect opportunity for an Anubis reference, give the Dark Samurai the Sword damnit!

He is the best Good Boy

any peter sam hcs ?

*calls a 9 ton machine a "good boy" repeatedly*

Sidenote, apart from the asks I still have to answer, I’m calling a lid on these questions. Hope ya’ll understand!

He’s always had a knack with charming coaches, both on the MSR and SR. Trucks, barring that one accidental time, hardly act up with him either. On both railways, he took it upon himself to name every truck that wanted a name. (Spoiler alert: You’ll hardly ever find a truck that prefers being anonymous. And how can you blame them?)

Impressively, he seems not to have forgotten a single one. In 1955, several ex-MSR trucks were bought by the Skarloey Railway Preservation Society from Marthwaite Quarry. Peter Sam first brought them onto SR metals, and eagerly crowed his whistle for the other engines to meet “Ax, Ginny, Scrag, Chocks, Cobbles, Princess, Warpy, Whippy, Teahouse, Froghead, Twobits, Snappy, Alex-Vander, O’Tool-“ you get the point.

Peter Sam, then named Stuart, got along with his last driver on the MSR so well that said driver applied to the Peel Godred Works Railway to keep working with him. You should’ve seen his face when Driver Shaugnessy first turned up at the Aluminum Works with his rags and tools, it’d bring tears of joy to your eyes. They recrossed paths and worked together again when Shaugnessy was later a volunteer on the SR. I’d say his continued presence during those tumultuous years wherein Peter Sam moved between railways twice was a huge, huge boon to the little engine’s mental health. Shaugnessy retired from the footplate in 1976, meaning he was still around to see Peter Sam and Sir Handel reunite with their Granpuff.

Holy fuck a full break down hell yeah!

Love a good quirk breakdown and Tail Splitter is such an interesting one.

hello everyone. sometimes i make this mistake called "thinking too hard about bnha" and then setsunas quirk torments me for two months and next thing you know im knee deep in scientific papers about tunicates. many such cases. horikoshi really made me have to work to integrate the lizard portion in, because her regeneration is nothing like lizard tail regeneration at all, actually

please forgive me if my science is off, im a paralegal looking to go into art history, everything i know is just from my bio 102 class and my love of reading scientific journals i barely understand 🙏😭
