WHAT IF

Vic McQueen went to the garage and took his bike to go for a ride. She was disgusted, all the people who were upstairs in the room, pretending that they were sorry for the death of his grandfather when in reality they had always despised him, even Chris McQueen himself. Also, she was worried, she had recently gone over a wooden covered bridge, which was supposed to have been demolished a week ago, to find a bracelet that her mother had lost and she thought she was going crazy.

As she pedaled, she thought of that bridge and suddenly it appeared before her. Vic felt a sting in her left eye and thought:

- I want to find someone to explain this to me...

And she started to run across the bridge at full speed… practically shooting out onto a road, Vic braked, skidded and fell into the road… a huge black car slammed on the brakes and skidded to a horizontal position in front of Vic.

Two minutes before:

The Wraith's radio began to make some strong interference, Charlie knew that possibly some creative was using her powers, although the car had never made so much noise, also that she began to sound the horn

- What the hell…

Manx suddenly saw how a boy or girl was crossing the road on a bicycle just 5 meters ahead and slammed on the brakes, making the car skid and it was stopped just in time not to crush the boy.

For her part, Vic started to get up a little dazed from the fall and the shock of having almost been run over.

- Holy Virgin! But what were you doing crossing the road without looking, girl? You could have been run over.

Vic turned her head and looked at the man who had spoken to her. A tall man with dark hair and dark eyes, with a few grays at the temples. He was wearing pants and a dark coat, as well as gloves and a chauffeur's cap, even though it was almost June and hot. However, he seemed kind and attentive and had a look of genuine concern on his face, so she accepted his outstretched hand to help her up. Charlie turned and saw a huge covered bridge on the side of the road and he understood everything. The girl was a creative one, a very powerful one, but she surely didn't understand her powers and she was disoriented.

- Are you okay, little girl? Charlie said.

- Yes sir. Sorry for the scare I gave you.

- It's okay, pretty. And my name is Charlie Manx, dear

 Vic suddenly complained with an “ouch” due to a scraped knee.

- Poor thing, you're hurt... Come, lean on the car, I think I have a first-aid kit...

- No, you don't have to...

Charlie made Vic sit on the hood of the Rolls, pushing her gently but firmly and went to get a small box from the glove compartment of the car.

- Well, Vic McQueen, I suppose you want to know how it is that you can make a bridge appear from nowhere...

Vic's eyes widened in surprise and she said:

- How do you know my name?

- I know a lot of things… Like that your father calls you “Brat”, that you want to be a painter and that you also draw very well, right? …

- Illustrator… Vic corrected him. - I just want to know if I'm crazy.

- You're not crazy, little one. You are just very creative. That is why you must also have a knack for drawing. Charlie said as he reached down and gently placed an alcohol-soaked handkerchief on Vic's knee.

Vic stoically endured the sting of the alcohol and said:

- Because I?

- I don't know, daughter. We just had to be like this...

- Are you like me? - Vic said surprised - Can you also find things or people?

Charlie smiled to herself; the girl had told him her powers without realizing it.

-Not pretty. You see… With this very special car I can access a place called Christmasland. It is a place where I take children to keep them safe from their parents… It is an amusement park, full of rides, trinkets and gifts… Every day there is Christmas and every night Christmas Eve

-Well, what a pain to always celebrate the same thing... she escaped Vic

Charlie looked at her surprised and seemed even disgusted. Vic regretted having been so loud, apparently, she had hurt that man's feelings and she hadn't done him any good. Vic began to be afraid and she didn't know why. She wasn't sure if it was the black-as-night car she was leaning on and that she saw full of gifts in the back seats, suspiciously things that she had wanted to be given..., or Charlie that, despite his kindness, there was something sinister about him. like the pointed teeth and long fingernails… he looked a bit like a vampire and she didn't understand how someone like that went unnoticed.

- And how can we do that?  she said trying to divert the subject and learn more

-The fact that?

- I find things and you go to Christmasland.

- Ah, well, because we all use something that we really like to do that. Christmasland is in my head and when I have someone in my car, the Wraith, then I can access the San Nicolas highway, the road to Christmasland. Tell me, what do you want most in this world, and I mean an object, not a person or a pet...

Vic was hesitant to tell him, but thought it best to clear up her doubts and said,

- I think my bike.

-Good. And can you get over that bridge without your bike?

- No. But you don't understand. That bridge shouldn't exist. I mean, it used to exist, but they knocked it down, but I keep going...

- I know, dear, you have that bridge in your mind and when you take the bike it is as if you took it out of your head into the real world, you use it as a knife. It's complicated, believe me. It's like magic.

- Do they always have to be vehicles? I have my bike and you have a car.

- No. It can be anything, as long as you like it a lot.

Vic nodded, her head and left eye hurt terribly, and she said:

- I'd better go home. I feel a little sick.

- That must be from using the bridge. -Manx said, grabbing her gently by the shoulders and looking into her eyes- This gift gives you powers, but it takes something away from you. That's why there are so few of us, and some burn out before they reach their potential. And you, Victoria McQueen, have a lot, a lot of potential. It would be a shame if you lost it, but I can teach you how to avoid it… You need a teacher and I could be that teacher.

Vic hesitated, for a moment, it was so tempting the idea of ​​a place where she could do whatever she wanted, without being judged and now she could take advantage of her powers…perhaps helping Mr. Manx find other children with her bridge… Vic shook her head as if that way he could get rid of that idea and said:

- I prefer to tell my parents. They will know what to do and help me.

- You know perfectly well that they won't believe you, Vic...

Vic yanked free, quickly jumped on her bike and ran out of there. Charlie didn't follow her; he already knew where to find her. Without Vic realizing it he had given her one of his candy canes and he was sure that when she found out she wouldn't throw it away. However, the Wraith's engine roared with a frustrated growl, sounding like a dog being removed the bone.

- Calm down, my friend, Charlie said, stroking the long hood of the Wraith- Vic McQueen will end up in Christmasland.

[wraith-of-christmas-future]

Charlie being that morally dark , and certainly vindictive enough type of character to feed someone their own relatives while passing it off as Christmas ham at their own dinner table. Charlie just , " they're here, with you. Serving purpose they never lived up to, until now " toward any troublesome late teen , young adult who demands to see their parents after a tussle aimed to stop him taking their younger sibling(s). " Nourishing you as they should, becoming the parent they were meant to be. " As he mildly just gestures toward the dinner table and the food they've been ingesting out of what they suspected to be fair intentions up until then. He certainly holds his moments of questionable intentions. This stands true especially after his first death. But not limited to, prior to that first abyssal state, he was still very much in a dark gray morality.

but if you think about it, did charles manx REALLY do anything wr- *is sniped immediately*

[wraith-of-christmas-future]

Though this is more show influenced, I still enjoy the idea of it.

So I had this faint lil dream that Charlie was on the other end of the Shorter Way when Vic first tapped into it fully, when gone looking for her father's watch. Providing lil Daniel a small treat for the road during this time at the local frappé and burger shop( book influenced ). Charlie catches on to what is happening before the bridge even appears. So when she comes skidding to a halt -- he is there at her side to help her. Catch her and ease her bike upward. Whispering sweet poison of false security in her ear. How everything is alright, that she isn't imagining things. That yes, the bridge is as real as she breathes, is it her first time ; etc etc.

I enjoy that scenario a lil more than I should...

I’m playing around with the idea but I think that having the potential for a thread where Aurora Stantler, Our Historian, goes down a darker path, much like Charles Talent Manx did, would be something I would be very interested in pursuing. It would make for interesting content as I already have written a few headcanons on just how dark Aurora can get with her abilities

[ I was torn on a lot of those, mind you. I may or may not send you one more later on down the road. ;) ]

During the times that Charles Manx was absent from her life and home, Vic McQueen told herself that it was for the best. He was dangerous and annoying and she should put her foot down, cast him from her life for good. He’d tried to kill her on several occasions, had taken her son from her, had piloted her body for his own resurrection. Not to mention, whatever the hell that had sprung up between them was incredibly unstable at times. Dangerous in itself. She knew that she should pull herself together and end all of this in case she loses the life that she’d built up since the night that she’d thrown him deep within her inscape.

She would make her mind up during those times and even go over what she would say to him in her mind, trying to puzzle out the options that would make him the least likely to murder her with his bare hands. The Brat would then memorize her chosen words and phrasing, even practice them out loud to make sure that they sounded right. She would build up the confidence that she would need to be able to confront him.

Then he would actually show up and everything would go out the window somehow. He would look tired and she’d postpone it to a time where he wouldn’t look so tired, only to find that she’d forgotten by the time that he left again. Or she’d be dealing with something with her editor or with Wayne or something else vexing that life had a tendency to toss at people and she’d be too irritable or distracted to say anything.

Or it would be like today where he would show up while she was in the shower during one of her bad pain days, hoping that the hot water would help with the misery. Vic was at the point where she didn’t even have to begrudgingly ask him for help anymore. Charlie seemed to just instinctively know. He would start using those hands of his, now knowing exactly where the worst of the pain was and she would completely melt like the weakling she was. The fearsome Brat was putty in the hands of Charles Talent Manx and she hated herself so much for it. 

The feel of his teeth on her flesh pulled a whining moan from her throat, her back pressing against the tile as she shifted on the shower bench for him. She then shuddered pleasurably as his tongue moved over the sensitive spot, her fingers tangling in his dark hair. Vic was already slick with need, wanting nothing more than to feel him deep within her despite the fact that she’d been practicing on how to end things just the night before. “Charlie!” His name escaped her lips in a high pitched whine as her hips bucked upwards slightly, her body aching for more. “Higher please, Charlie. Please.” Her whimpers echoed off of the tile around them, making her request inescapable. 

God, there was something so delicious about that man on his knees, looking up at her with those beautiful dark eyes that drove her even more insane than she already was. It was times like these where he had the ability to completely stop any hope of logical thought and she would become a whiny and needy shell of herself, desiring nothing more than to feel his skin against hers. And those times that he uttered her name in a little whine? It drove her absolutely up the wall in ways that she didn’t have the words for.

“I’ve missed you.” The confession that fell from her lips was unexpected and jolted her back to reality just ever so slightly. Vic groaned inwardly, knowing that she wouldn’t hear the end of it. Great, just great. Her stupid mouth had run away from her again, giving Charlie yet another unneeded boost to his goddamned ego.

Ideally someone black, but in case others might ask for something similar you can recommend others as well.

Isle of Man

I didn't have a clue about this island.

I didn't know if it was part of the Great Britain, Scotland, North Ireland or Ireland - but it turns out they are part of nothing - thank you very much.

The Isle of Man is a self-governing British Crown dependency in the Irish Sea between England and Ireland. The Queen or King of England is known at the Lord of the isle of Man. It’s known for its rugged coastline, medieval castles and rural landscape, rising to a mountainous center. The island’s Celtic and Viking heritage is a point of great pride.

They have their own flag and motto...

"Where you throw us, we will land on our feet!"

They have their own money - the Manx pound....

All their money will be reprinted with King Charles III on it for he has become the new Lord of the Isle of Man.

They have their own language: Manx - although English is common as well.

They have their own cat - The Manx cat born with no tail...

(This tailless thing is a recessive gene - so a litter of kittens may have kitties who have no tails, little stumps, half a tail or a whole tail.). The Manx cat comes in all colors, fur length and varieties.

And finally, they their own breed of sheep- the Manx Loghton Sheep - wtih 4 to 5 horns. The Loghton are brown, have much denser wool with a higher content of lanolin making anything made from Loghton wool warmer and waterproof than traditional wool. The wool of these sheep was used to make clothing for fishermen and sailors for hundreds of years - but now we have Gortex and the sheep are mostly kept for tourism. They and their wool grow at a much slower rate than a typical breed BUT we heard that Loghton meat is delicious - and pricey

The High Court of Tynwald is the parliament of the Isle of Man. Tynwald is of Norse origin and over 1,000 years old, and is thus the oldest parliament in the world with an unbroken existence. I think that is pretty awesome.

We spent two days on the Isle of Man and visited many o its tiny cities in the south. We docked in Douglas - the capital and i was surprised by the size. The entire island has about 85,000 people and Douglas has al little more than one third.

We had a grand time on the island being tourists. First stop, lunch on a steam train and we bumped along the tracks.

The Isle of Man Steam Railway is the longest narrow gauge steam line in the British isles that still uses its original locomotives and carriages.

The narrow gauge railway was opened in 1873 and runs through the Island’s charming countryside between the Island’s capital and a range of destinations in the south. and we saw some beautiful country.

And this isn't any old steam engine - THIS is the steam engine that inspire the stories of Thomas, the Tank Engine:

The island of Sodor - home to Thomas and his friends - is imaginary - but the location of Sodor is not and that location is.... ta-da!! ... the Isle of Man.

Anyway - it was an experience - but this would not be my number one reason for a visit to the Isle of Man.

We visited Castletown and it was nice to walk around this quaint sleepy village on a Sunday mornings

We traveled to the southern tip of the island and enjoyed the view and some seals at play.

We visited a living museum that was the movie site of "Waking Ned Devine" a HUGE favorite of Tom & Nora and it was fun to see spots from the movie - for sure:

We also visited this site and I was facinated:

As the winds of war began to blow in the early 1910s and it became apparent that Germany and Great Britain would take opposite sides should a war ensue - many German men living in Great Britain began to go home to enlist. Great Britain thought - uh oh, should we wait to capture them on the battle flied or round them up right now? And they choose option B. And the building of a massive camp began on the Isle of Man. The camp held 23,000 prisoners-of -war and operated fro 1914-1919. NOT all of the prisoners would have returned to mainland Europe to fight with Germany and Austria - but if that was your ethnicity -away you went.

The prisoners worked - but in their free time studied, created art, read and wrote. Below you will see some amazing art carned into bleached cow bones.

And speaking of WWI, there was a popular song at the time entitled "How Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm After They've Seen Paree?" This song could be the theme song of all the island communities we have seen. As education opportunities have opened up for people the population of all the islands have dwindled. Students leave for University and opt to stay. An Orkney farmer told us that we need 2,000 people to move to the island every year to sustains the island. We had heard somewhere they people of the Orkney Islands were very proud of their anti-racist culture. We asked the farmer about this and he admitted that he had never heard it - BUT that they welcomed immigration to the island of ANYONE regardless of race, religion, color - etc. BUT he said Brexit has all but stopped that and he wonders how they will survive. The is NOT the first time we had heard disparaging remarks about Brexit - BYW. More on that later.

Finally, I can't leave this post about the Isle of Man with talking about the Isle of Man TT. The Isle of Man TT or Tourist Trophy races are an annual motorcycle racing event run on the Isle of Man in May/June of most years since its inaugural race in 1907. The event is often called one of the most dangerous racing events in the world as many competitors have died - 265 so far. IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE FUN TO ME!!!

Next up - Wales. Stay tuned.
