do you ever wonder what it's like to date the most mentally repressed bachelor of sodor but also want to prepare yourself for what's to come? for casa tidmouth's valentine's day special the author filled out this handy dandy chart so you can see if you're lucky for fitting all the criteria or for not fitting any of the criteria

(template by mythir on twitter)

#thomas the tank engine #thomas and friends #ttte gordon #casa tidmouth #senjart #happy valentine's day. I was kicking and giggling when drawing him #random hc is that when gordon blushes it goes all the way to his ears……… Heh #my middle aged princess. my poor little sopping wet cat all alone in a cardboard box. #<--- WHAT IS BRO YAPPING ABOUT⁉️⁉️ #ALSO THE BOUQUET TOOK ME THE LONGEST TO DRAW LIKE I HAVE TO MAKE THE FLOWERS LOOK ACCURATE #AND THE MEANINGS TOO #also from the 1k special polls result he's a top fave and always talked about in the essay sections . So #I'LL DRAW 2X3X4 STUFF LATER I PROMISE. I'VE GOT LOTS OF STUFF IN MY BACKLOG #just imagine ed and hen looking at this chart and grinning and going ''JACKPOT''

Doing a lineup with the original 6 in mecha form, and i'm so happy with Edward and Henry I had to post this wip

My mecha designs are basically verticalized engine parts and I did my best to come with something that could be somewhat functional, I was originally using this concept to my game project but I went with regular steamies just to be more grounded

He was so right

There are no LBSCR E2s left.

Would anyone remember them? Would they be another piece of forgotten machinery, with few photos and even less video footage? And in the universe we live in, they are so easily recognizable to foamers and outsiders directed to them- saying “That’s Thomas. He was real.”

Real and made real again in storybooks and TV shows and wooden toys and Bachmann models. Those 10 E2s, faulty lumbering engines with a wheelbase too big for tight turns and water tanks too small to be good enough for the short goods trains they were designed for… became the most famous tank engines in the world. Can you imagine if we still had them? If we still had one? Like wistful lovers of recently extinct animals, we write, we draw, we try to bring them back to life.

I won't stew in silence any longer. My grievances will be heard. AND tagged.

Why is there such a huge emphasis on Edward's 'old age' amongst fans and sometimes in the series itself, but more importantly, fan depictions of him as this decrepit old man. He's at most 17 years older than James. Look at this guy's face, he's like, the face of eternal youthful beauty. He looks like a wry and mischievous fae folk charming you away into a forest where you will fucking never be seen again. GOODBYE.

And don't get me wrong, I like describing/thinking of him as older, it gives his struggles and his dedication more merit and weight, but he's not anyone's peepaw by any means. People act like this poor guy was made in 1806 as opposed to earliest 1896.

Maybe at the time, when he was holed up in the sheds, he was 'older'. Marginally. Like how you look at your Samsung S10 and frown because it's not the S21 ultra. I wouldn't call that a grandpa, would you?

Anyway that's my two cents for what it's worth. If anything.

#ttte #ttte edward #the railway series #the railway series edward #engines #thomas and friends #i only care about the 'and friends' #maybe this is unpopular opinion #but i'll die on this hill #yes i'm talking about trains #i'm slipping back into old fixations #WHEEL SLIPPING #haha #dont get me wrong i love older men but i've seen his humanizations described as fucking 60+ in years which feels woefully unfair

They call my organic locomotives beautiful when they're made from trees, but then they see the others and ask invasive questions like "why does it have skin?" and "oh my god was that Dave?"

please define "organic locomotives" i beg you

Will we ever see any designes or concept art for Spencer's siblings? Besides his younger brother mallard?

How many siblings does Spencer have?

What do you think Spencer looked like when he was younger?

spencer has 8 siblings, with him being the third oldest. in order from oldest to youngest is nigel (named after the gresleys’ very distant relative), golden shuttle, spencer, mallard, bittern, gadwall, osprey, dominion of canada, and peregrine. most of these aren’t their real names in casa tidmouth but I put them here anyways so you know which lner a4 they’re “based off”

at the moment, I don’t have sketches of them because I need to think about their designs (dominion of canada looks oddly similar to mallard, and I need to give at least one of them a full beard AND HAVE ANOTHER NATURAL BLONDIE), but I do have a plan to show them alongside gordon’s late siblings and their updated designs.

speaking of younger spencer though, I managed to finish this mini lineup of the three most recurring gresleys in their smallest states.

younger spencer enjoyed pulling younger gordon into his stupid ideas like climbing trees or stealing a flower pot from the neighbor’s yard because he’s easily convinced and spencer promised to give gordon 50 pounds if he does it. in reality spencer just wanted to see gordon get grounded for once. spencer would also try to pin the blame on gordon when they get caught but nobody would believe him. then he’ll get a flick to the forehead by younger scott. such is the suite life of the gresleys when things were more peaceful

#asks #isjssjsjshuuuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyy #thomas and friends #ttte gordon #ttte flying scotsman #ttte spencer #casa tidmouth #senjart #gresleys and their big families breh #spencer’s family are the negative foils to gordon’s #they’re all still alive (I guess) and in tact but emotionally distant due to the blue eyes white demon #while gordon’s siblings are gone sans one but they all loved each other #as you can see. scott was gordon’s favorite sibling #scott’s real patient with him and understands about anything gordon wants to say #while spencer is like Heheheh my innocent cousin would NOT expect this one idea from me #I need to stop talking about gordon and scott’s relationship here because the more I think about how they ended up the more I feel unwell!

I often wonder about the crews of the rws/ttte universe and what they're like and how they handle the shit their engines pull especially in specials where like. Really insane things happen.

For instance. Does Frankie and Hurricane kidnapping Thomas also count as them kidnapping his crew. can the fat controller sue the steelworks and its employees for trapping his employees as well as his engines. Many such cases.
