banner-worthy promo images from Thomas’ Train
Alright I’m done being less active
Here’s stuff I’ve drawn while on discord/been gone
"Moring Thomas"
"Hello, FatFace!"
"Oh Quite FishTank!"
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.
No clue why I did this, I was bored as hell
Y'all have a good day/afternoon/night

Explaining each powers of the steam steam In calestra chronicles:
Thomas: Thomas has Telekenesis powers. Which means he can control anything he wants. Any object or things, he can't basically control it by using his mind. However he sometimes uses it the wrong way, and he accidentally controlled a heavy rock and throws it on a lake causing it to have a big splash, however he is still learning on how to use it properly and has been approving a lot since.
Edward: Edward also haves Telekenesis powers. Same as Thomas, but he fully master his own and is teaching Thomas on how to use it properly. He has one more power, and that is Telepathy. Telepathy means he can read minds and he can also communicate mentally to the other engines.
Henry: Henry has super strength, and nature control. Henry is known for being strong, and yes he is stronger than Gordon in this Au because it's his main power. He also knows combat fighting any many more. For his nature control, it's basically using the Flor to block attacks or the winds to blow away enemies It's basically like earth bending from avatar. He dosent mostly use it since sodor is a peaceful place to not fight for combat.
Gordon: Gordon has super speed. However this type of super speed is unique. He is not only fast. But he can locate people by sensing other people/engines by using this things called "Waves". This is basically like telepathy but instead of using communication, it uses the sound of waves. First Gordon must stay focused and then hear the sound of waves of the engine he is looking for. not to mention he is also strong but not as strong as henry
James: James has three powers in his lifetime. His first power is "Shadow technique". It basically allows him to control darkness. But that dosent mean he can control the moon. He can turn shadows into powers and trapping the enemy by using the shadows, etc. finally his fire ability and therianthropy which lady gives him this two abilities. His "fire ability or Pyrokinesis" allows him to control fire, and he is also invincible when there is fire around. And finally "therianthropy", this power allows him to have a half breed of warewolf. Which means he is a half warewolf and he can transform only on full moon.
Percy: Percy has healing ability and barrier creation. His healing ability can help him heal anyone in a matter of seconds. While his barrier creation allowed him to create a barrier or a shield to protect anyone. Not to mention can make the barrier as big as he wants.
Toby: toby has animal creation, which means he can create animals as long as he wants since nature is loosing some animals and he is always there to help.
Emily: Emily has pull ability this is also the same as telekenesis. However instead of using her mind. She uses her hand to pull and controll anything she wants She can also beat gravity too. And finally, "Attraction ability". This abilitiy is also the same as telepathy.only because it uses communication, however instead of communicate. This power is basically mind controll. Emily is allowed to control anyone she wants by using this abilitiy, and can order anyone by just a single words or sentence, she even can order you to kill yourself or give your heart to her.
Anyways that's all! Questions are allowed if you don't get it!. Next time I will be posting their icon power or symbols
Gordon! I have nothing to say so let's go straight to headcannons!
"Gordon Jusper Gresley"-🇬🇧🇺🇸
-thinking he's a royalty person- he secretly believes he should be treated like a railway royalty even thinking he is pride of the line.
-terrified of mice- despite his size and confidence, he absolutely cannot stand mice. If he saw one he will loudly protest and refuse to get out untill it's gone.
-has soft heart for little engines- he mostly pretends to look down on small engines,but secretly admires their determination mostly protective especially to Percy as being the youngest but never admitted it.
-loud snorrer- while sleeping, he always snores so loud, James would argue to him everytime about his loud snorring,but sometimes he would wake up because he can hear himself sometimes.
-argues with James ( all the time)- he would mostly argue with James,due to his loud snorring,waking up late,or his complaints, but most of the time they are calm and both understand each other.
-is also strong like Henry but only relies on his nutural strength, while Henry relies on his nutural speed.
-is trying to learn a new language all by himself but founds it difficult but he never give up.

It's always James and Gordon, Edward and James,Thomas and James,Percy and James
But never Henry and James🥲
Guys just made this (laughing so hard at Gordon's face-)
Strike trio!
(first time editing them three)
How a1/a3 got their face from :
Edwards exploit?
Man, what is there to say about this one that hasn’t already been said?
I mean, one day some jamoke is gonna make a video saying that they don’t actually like this episode and that it’s lame, and a big user is going to foolishly give it exposure via bitching about it on Twitter, and the fandom will go up in flames (like, more so than the usual blowup). But me? Nah, even I’m not that contrarian.
Besides, I love it. It makes me happy, though perhaps for odd little bits that aren’t meant in any way to be the focus of the episode. Stuff like
Duck and BoCo’s angry faces
the shot of Edward with Bill and Ben
the shot right before the storm breaks out where Edward goes under the bridge—the curvature of the track there is absurd, but screw realism, it makes the train look so sinuous and pleasing
the sheer blackness of the night in the final scene or two with the brilliant white lights
Also the shot of the train on its way again during the “and he listened happily to Edward’s steady beat, as he forged slowly but surely ahead” line, it’s just such a thoroughly pleasing little bit—I keep meaning to make a good gif of it some day because visually those two seconds are definitely among some of the most comforting in film history. Why must Edward be so friend-shaped. I’m asking really.
Caption 1: seriously, this one bit of track curves right-left-right-left three times, WHY
Caption 2: "Okay, David, catch me at my good angle! 😇"
Yes, everyone who’s been in the fandom for six months probably already knows the “inaccuracies” in the adaptation, but I’m not too hung up on them. Like it’s very cool that we have so many Trainz adaptations and Exploit!models where people literally destroy their overpriced 2Ps for the accuracy?? and I’m grateful and I’m satisfied with this fan content supplementing the episode. Besides, when I was a kid we only had select episodes from S1-3 on VHS, and man, stuff like Thomas’s bent front and Edward’s siderods taken off—that was honestly pretty metal for us. The Flying Kipper crash was obviously more serious, but as far as, like, “special effects” went? It was these two episodes that brought the macabre fascination, due to the visible damage. I can remember parents commenting on those two details too, in fact I think they brought it to our attention. Like wtf, they broke the toys! Wild! (Then we got into some Season 4 stuff and were spoiled for these more innocent days, lol. Peter Sam’s and Thomas’s head-on collisions took the damage portrayed on screen to a whole new level.)
Also, as I’ve mentioned before, while there are several sentences in the original text that I wish the adaptation retained (Edward being so thrilled when he gets the train moving that his wheels start to slip all over again, omg—my boy!), there are also a couple of cuts I agree with actually. I prefer the happy quietude of some of the moments in the end of the adaptation to the “cheers to the echo” of RWS.
Bertie’s little bit at the beginning is pleasant enough but also unnecessary, especially when you consider that this obligatory-cameo-to-meet-a-quota-of-Bertie-appearances-this-season replaces this immortal RWS opener:
Edward scolded the twins severely, but told Gordon it served him right. Gordon was furious.
Like, I am in no way excusing Gordon, but I do think this exchange is interesting context for the following scene. As in I don’t think Gordon really believes what he’s saying; when he’s piqued he sees everything in the most negative light; when he’s in a good mood all the sudden it’s “my dear Edward” and all that. Gordon said it himself to Sir Handel—he has a lot of feeeeeeeelings. Nobody understands that. ;)
Another small detail in this notorious scene that I think gets overlooked is Duck saying “You’re all jealous!” For one thing, I think he means they’re jealous that Edward got this job; the comment implies one of those standard tiresome arguments in the preceding week about who would get the enthusiasts’ train and then who should get the enthusiasts’ train. And I dunno, the thought amuses me. Perhaps because a few hours later in the storm Edward is audibly thinking that the whole gig was entirely overrated. (I feel like next time this sort of thing came up Edward would’ve been all like, “BoCo, do you want it? We don’t want a repeat of last time.” And BoCo’s all *affectionate eyeroll* “No one goes to the island of Sodor for a diesel-hauled railtour, Edward.”)
Now, for all I’ve overanalyzed the effect of the opening “station scene” and how the changes affect how people read the character dynamics, I must still give the TV adaptation major props—their changes make this scene far more interesting and just generally watchable. I mean, though I do enjoy the realistic sidings of the RWS illustration, the TVS blocking of the "action" here is iconic:
Plus omg, the drama of it all, I think the dynamic there of everyone talking about Edward while he’s just struggling to get that train started is a fascinating hook. (Certainly the writers of the show never got over this dynamic!) And, I have to admit, although it changes the characterizations a little, it’s not any huge stretch to have Gordon, Henry, and James be that shameless. It doesn’t distort the reality of RWS canon the way that Season 5 and beyond… *waves hand helplessly in the general direction of the mess*
However, and I wondered this even as a kid before I’d read any RWS, but in that scene why doesn’t Duck give the train a push to start? He’s Thomas and Percy’s successor at this point, so isn’t it part of his job? Always bugged me a bit, but then again these days I am amused to rationalize this and to imagine that Duck considers preventing the big three from bullying others to be among his duties, and in fact sometimes he gets so into it that he forgets some of the more bread-and-butter things. Yes, his old mates on the Great Western might be appalled at his new priorities, but then they didn’t have Gordon Henry and James to deal with, now did they??
Right, so like half of this post is now about the station scene... but honestly that’s fair. It’s worth saying again: The adaptation did a really good job with that. They take some pretty below-average obligatory set-the-stage RWS dialogue and somehow turn it into quite a memorable little scene. *tips hat respectfully*
Okay I gotta tell someone about this dream I had last night!!!!
I had a dream where James saw a ghost engine but nobody believed him and made fun of him until he decided to run away and hide somewhere and then Thomas, Percy, Gordon, Edward, Henry and Diesel decided to find him and then they saw ghosts looking at them on an abandoned track and then they started to believe James and then they saw James making friends with the ghosts and they enjoyed James’s company!
I might make an AU based on it but with human designs! The AU should be called: Red And The Dead!!!!
