Me Starting To Copy The Random Noises My Friends Make

Wanted to highlight an interesting take on Flying Scotsman and Gordon’s relationship. This entire series is so good! It’s a continuation of the series and a lot of love and dedication is clearly put into this. Please watch the entire series, it definitely feels like the series continued (and did away with Mattel’s meddling and poor writing).

Fair warning, Scotsman is a lot meaner in this series but it’s wonderfully done. Percy’s great in the 3rd episode too, his cheeky Season 1/2 self abounds.

This plotline is still going 💚

silly

Tired of the eternal bullshit from tttetwt. Saw a person on my TL I thought I'd muted for Reasons and sure enough when I saw them I was immediately annoyed all over again for their horrible take sometime last year—not only did they not realise Henry was seen by many as a disabled icon, upon learning it they denied that this was even possible because "Awdry didn't write him to represent that."

First of all, Theory of the Author and their Degrees and Deadness and all that.

But also? That's what makes Henry's arc hit so fucking hard? The extra oomph of him being written off by everyone—even his own creator thought he was inconvenient and it was better for him to die.

That his character survived Awdry's intent to quietly kill him off (due to the publishers' interests, of course—chance—but also in conjunction with all the young readers who wrote fan letters expressing their love for Henry!) is why we LOVE him.

The invisibly disabled often feel abandoned or hated by God/universe. Is it any wonder they feel such a connection to a character whose (capital-C?) Creator was also like "oh fuck, how embarrassing to have made a mistake like this guy, better let him suffer and die"?

In the end, even Awdry—though at first he was basically bullied into giving Henry some real attention—had to back down and acknowledge Henry as the "Enterprising Engine."

Is it any wonder that people resonate with this icon who eventually showed up GOD HIMSELF?

how it feels liking and reblogging posts

shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply

"how dare you say we piss on the poor" in response to someone misinterpreting your post

"_ isnt gonna fuck you" for suck up behavior

"woah. should we tell everyone? should we throw a party?" for who the fuck cares

"and what if the world was made of pudding" for when would this ever matter.

"and sharks are smooth both ways" for a group of people heatedly arguing with 1 guy who is fucking with them all

".. but its about a witch in the alps finding her lost cat" for someone trying to sanitize something to the point of absurdity

you can't just show me an engine with such charm and such wisdom and tell me 'don't obsess over it' - WHAT MONSTER DOES THAT?

everytime he appears as a bg character or even has a speaking part - I'm definitely pointing at the screen with excitement.

(aka i bingewatched too many TTTE seasons and episodes and Edward has stood out each time, the only episode I won't watch with him is 'steady eddie' ITS THE CRAZY EYES OF SEASON 12 I HATE THEM-)

'lol what drugs did it take for u to come up with this' i lay on the floor and listen to music to have wretched visions
