SURPRISE!!!

Chapter 21: Despair, after a 6 month hiatus, is up!! I will warn you all that this chapter is one of the heights of hardship for this fic so there will be… sad writing. I haven’t completed proof read it, mainly because I was so excited to get this out to you all, so there may be some grammatical errors. But otherwise, I am healthy enough to start writing again so expect more frequent updates!

Throwback to when I was really hyperfocused on this moment because WHY EDWARD???

(An Engine of Many Colors - Season 22)

(This post can be seen as a 2x5 post! This is also a very long post. 😶)

Why EDWARD, of all the other characters, was the one to be crashed into, had the dream not ended? The easy answer could be "Oh, it's because 'A Shed for Edward'! They're trying to connect the episodes!" But that doesn't make any sense to me, for some reason.

The significance Edward had to situation at that point was very little. He was being being relocated temporarily to another shed, along with Thomas, which James knows about since he was just being pulled from the wreckage when that happened. It was obvious that some of the engines would have to sleep somewhere else when the crash happened (though it irks me that the Fat Controller didn't move every single one of them away because that cannot be safe to sleep in 💀).

What was a significantly bigger moment during those episodes was Edward warning James moments before the accident took place. Maybe that's why Edward showed up but why as a "victim" of the crash? Again, the simple explanation is that its foreshadowing the events of "A Shed for Edward" that are starting to take place at the same time. But what about James' perspective of things?

How would James know that the events from that episode took place, starting the evening of the accident? The guy's stuck at the Steamworks. Hell, he probably had no clue Edward was at the Steamworks two days later, two days after the main events of "An Engine of Many Colors" took place.

(An Engine of Many Colors - Season 22; A Shed for Edward - Season 21)

Why didn't Edward show up as one of the characters warning James about crashing? Why did he take the role of being crashed into and not the role of warning James? And why was he the only one to be to crashed into, had the nightmare not ended? James doesn't crash into anyone in his blue and silver liveries, narrowly missing Philip and the goods train in the latter, but in his green livery, he nearly crashes into the back of Edward's goods train, which could've gone very, very wrong.

Could it be because Edward was the first to be sent away from Tidmouth to live somewhere else temporarily that James began to feel guilty? Was it because Edward, along with Philip, was the last engine to see James before things went wrong on his way down Gordon's Hill?

I'm definitely overanalyzing and overthinking this one but I just couldn't get it out of my mind. Like why Edward? Why not Emily or Thomas, who had warned James about his brakes from the start?

Going back to why Edward wasn't given the role of warning James in James' dream, I think I have an idea as to why. Let's go back to "All in Vain."

In "All in Vain," James, with some hesitance, trusts Edward to help him out without making fun of him, when it turns out that James ruined his fresh coat of paint. Edward does him the "favor" without rubbing it into anyone's face, and from the look of things, he never told James that he explained the situation to the Mayor and Sir Topham Hatt. Now what about it?

Is it possible that James' dream didn't put Edward in that role because he knows, deep down, that Edward wouldn't rub it in his face? About not listening to his warning? Compared to Philip, who was taunting James, Edward was being pretty damn serious. It could explain why James' dream didn't give Edward that role. Now as to why Edward was the only engine for James to be crashed into, I'm not sure, at least from James' perspective.

Now the simple and probable explanation could be "It's a dream! Dreams don't make sense!" which is very valid, because what was Diesel doing there? Throughout "The Fastest Red Engine on Sodor" and "A Shed for Edward," James never interacted with Diesel, yet he showed up.

I have a theory for this. Remember how Thomas and Rosie showed up twice, both times warning James?

This is definitely a stretch but what if someone else was supposed to show up in Diesel's spot? What if, voluntarily, James forced someone he disliked to show up out of fear of seeing someone he didn't want to see taunting him? Notice how it changed to James' face after Thomas passes by, which just shows potential fear. As if he's holding his breath for whoever is next. And when Diesel passes by, he still has that expression, as if waiting for something worse.

Theoretically, Gordon could've come up next as the one warning him in Diesel's place, considering he showed up seconds prior warning him. However, this would be inconsistent as Gordon is heading in the same direction as James is. While this show does have the tendency to completely disregard track placements of the engines multiple times, such as in "Emily in the Middle," it didn't do that here. But let's completely knock that one out because, remember, this is a dream. They don't make always sense.

So why not Gordon? Well, think about it. Does James really care about Gordon's opinion this much at this point of the show? No, not really. Even in Pouty James, he did not care about Gordon's opinion. He's long gone past that "phase" of trying to be approved by Gordon. James is his own being, and that's that.

So who else could've been in Diesel's spot, following my theory? Emily. Going back to the beginning of the episode "The Fastest Red Engine on Sodor," Emily is the first character to warn him about his brakes. She also appears in James' first dream, and, if we want to consider the magazine stories canon to the television series, Emily has a sibling relationship with James, being an older sister to him (which lets be honest, its definitely canon). How do think James would've felt if Emily had showed up, taking all of that into consideration? Probably frightened. Probably because lets go back to "Pouty James."

In "Pouty James," Emily is taunting James about his attitude but in a different way. She does it with reason to get something into his head (or smokebox-). In "Tale of the Brave," she mocks him and scolds him (and Gordon) about teasing Percy. Based on James' reactions, it seems that James is used to this and knows that Emily means well. It wouldn't completely make sense why Emily could've been the other person.

So who else could it have been? Edward.

While the show is infamous for having many inconsistencies with character writing, especially when it comes to the relationships between them, their relationship was restored back to how it probably should've been following "Old Iron" with the episode "All in Vain." But since then, we don't know how their relationship was. It was pretty ambiguous. We just knew they were friends, and that was that. We didn't get to see the two interact much until "A Shed for Edward."

The minute Edward warns James about going so fast, James brushes it off as Edward worrying too much. And when Edward comes back to Tidmouth Sheds momentarily, James just smiles cheekily and blushes out of embarrassment when the Fat Controller calls him out, which is an unusual response. Usually, James gets flustered and angry when he gets called out like that but not here. To me, it comes off as an overdue response to Edward's warning. Something like "Well, I guess it happened. :'D Oops."

We know that at this point, James trusts Edward because of the events in "All in Vain," which I spoke about a while ago. To summarize that post, James doesn't expect someone else to defend him with an explanation when it comes to messing up, but Edward ultimately broke that belief for him. He has others to support him, and one of them is Edward. However, in this situation, Edward isn't there, as well as his other supporters (like Emily) so James is on his own.

So could the dream where James could've crashed into Edward and his goods train been a sign to that? A sign that his support system isn't there? That they won't be home waiting for him. The only thing waiting for him is mockery. And when he ignores the dream, the next dream tries to bring Edward back, only for James to manage to gain some control and turned him into Diesel instead.

...

That's all I gotta say. :] Take this with a grain of salt. If none of this makes sense, then don't worry about it. I've been having trouble writing anything that seems to make sense and isn't just a bunch of unorganized notes. :")

This was something I had on my mind a while ago. Finally got to writing it down. Starting off as just questioning it but I decided to overanalyze it like I do with things like this. Again, this could be easily explained because its a dream. Dreams don't always make sense. Things and people can randomly show up with no reason.

Incorrect Ttte Quotes 59:

The difference between Toby and Edward when asked about having children:

Toby's response:

Person: Hey, do you have any kids?

Toby: Well, not biologically. But yes, I do! They're my adopted sons, Percy, Phillip and Pluto! Percy's the oldest, Phillip's the middle child and Pluto is the youngest! They like to call themselves the Three Ps which is pretty funny if you think about it.

Edward's response:

Person: Hey, do you have any kids?

Edward: Biologically, legally or emotionally?

Person: Uhhhhhh....

Edward: Because I can ensure you my kid, Thomas, is a fucking gremlin.

“You did it!!” Philip squealed. “You really did it!!”

Merlin smiled down at the energetic little shunter.

“He just hid behind a line of vans, out of sight.” Duck grunted, unimpressed. “That's not 'becoming invisible’. That's hardly even a parlor trick.”

“That's not true! I saw him disappear!” Philip protested.

“Sorry, Duck,” Merlin smiled, “but I wasn't behind those vans. Maybe you saw another engine, or perhaps some grey tankers? We do seem to have quite a few of those.”

“I know the difference between a line of tankers and a steam engine.” Duck reproached.

But at that moment, Stanley passed by, shunting the vans away, and revealing a row of silver tankers, just as Merlin had suggested.

“Well-” the pannier tank stammered, “well that just proves my point. Merlin was hiding behind those vans. How else would he have known about the tankers?”

Despite the sound argument, Duck's voice betrayed him. The rebuttal came out wavering and uncertain. Philip's laughter only made Duck's face burn as Merlin strode off, seemingly unbothered by the ordeal.

Underappreciated aspect of The Great Race: Gordon and Philip's evolving relationship.

It's so pure how Philip consistently calls/refers to Gordon as "the Shooting Star" (even when he's being menaced by that mean American lug and shoved off a cliff! even then, he still remembers Gordon's new 'pronouns'!)

Gordon seems to really appreciate Philip being the only one to respect his preferred name, too. He clearly finds Philip annoying at the beginning of the movie, but they be rollin' along together at the end.

#of course every detail shown about gordon's relations with the others in this movie is *fascinating* #did y'all see the part where james rolls his eyes while they listen to gordon haranguing victor within the works? #iconic #even JAMES THE RED ENGINE is like 'dude... have you considered just being patient... you can do it for free yanno' #also all the cavalcade shots are kinda nice ngl #i can't tell if this movie is better than most of the fandom thinks #or if i'm just developing stockholm syndrome because my daughter has been requesting it regularly now for going on six mo.s...pls send help #ttte #ttte specials #ttte gordon #ttte philip #ttte james

TGR but There's a Roleswap - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - An Engine Like That

It was the only image of Emily, James, and Philip that I could find 🫠

The story can be found at @tgr-2x5-roleswap-au for easier access.

Soon, James was in Tidmouth Yard, shunting around in frustration, having realized that he left behind his goods train at Brendam Docks.

As he worked around, hoping that the red tender engine had left Brendam by now, Emily rolled into the yard. "What's up with you?" she asked.

"Nothing!" James snapped. "Absolutely nothing."

"Well, it doesn't sound like nothing," huffed Emily. "Come on, fess up."

James grumbled before coherently replying, "Some Scottish engine nearly bumped me into the ocean."

"A Scottish engine? Do you mean one of the Scottish twins? Or Duck?"

"No, no, no! A ship of foreign engines arrived, thinking that the railway show was on here instead of the Mainland! One of them bumped into me and I nearly got knocked into the ocean."

"Oh my! But why?"

"I don't know! He was probably jealous, that red copycat!"

"Red co- Oh!" Emily began to laugh. "Ohoho, you're jealous!"

"No, I'm not!"

"Yes, you are!" She allowed her laughter to subside for a bit. "Who saved you anyways? Salty and Porter aren't strong enough to pull you back on the rails."

James let out a huff, heavy enough to wheesh steam. "He did."

"Oh?" Emily pondered for a moment. "Huh. Maybe it was an accident."

"I doubt it!"

"Well, did he apologize?"

"Yeah, but-"

"Then it was probably an accident, Jimmy. You're fretting over nothing."

"You wouldn't understand!"

As the two began to bicker, Philip quickly strolled by, having eavesdropped on the conversation. "If you want my advice, James,” he piped up, “I wouldn't pay so much attention to an engine like that!"

Emily and James went quiet. For once, James was interested in what the little diesel boxcab had to say, despite the number of times the diesel boxcab annoyed him to the ends of the Earth.

"Engines like that aren't worth your time! He could've very much lied to you when he apologized."

The two tender engines pondered for a moment as Philip left.

After a few moments of silence, James huffed. "I need to get ready for my passenger trains."

"Don't you have a goods train to pull?" asked Emily.

"I… forgot about it."

"Hm, well. I can pull it for you so you don't run late with the Honeypot."

"Really?"

"Of course! Where does it need to be taken to?"

"Vicarstown."

"Got it. I'll see you later, James!" With two whistles and a wheesh from her brakes, Emily set off.

"See you later!" he exclaimed before rushing off to find the Honeypot coaches.
