Cumbrian bridge | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing. My sketches start life as hand-drawn graphite images made on cartridge paper. I often work on these with charcoal, oil pastel or Caran d'Ache to create the look I'm after. The artwork is then scanned and finessed digitally ready for fine art printing. This process often referred to as Giclée printing uses the highest standard of printing methods to give gallery quality results that maintain all the details of the original sketch. The graphite pencils I use are Faber-Castel, the oil pastels are Sennelier and the china-graph is Caran d’Ache. The inks are pigment based archive quality (100years+). The heavyweight specialist papers I use are of the best professional quality having a wonderful surface designed specifically for fine art drawings and illustrations. Very limited editions with only ten per size printed. All artwork is signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. The A5 are 5.8" x 8.25" (14.8cm x 21cm) The A4 are 8.25" x 11.7" (21cm x 29.8cm) The A3 are 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) The A2 are 16.5" x 23.4" (42 cm x 59.4cm) Originals are A3 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) Frames not included in price. Free shipping on artwork to all destinations. https://www.seanbriggs.co.uk/product/cumbrian-bridge/?feed_id=3340&_unique_id=66027a137160e

listened to the in our times episode about robert burns, and weirdly enough, the most memorable line was '...perhaps if wordsworth hadn't gone to cambridge, he'd have written in cumbrian dialect. conversely, attending university might've ruined robert burns.' and now i can't stop imagining the alternative reality where wordsworth had preserved rural cumbrian dialect by writing his poetry in it. my hearts weeps.

so is shadowclanmew just austrailian

I made a vow that if there ever was some situation where I was putting voiceclaims to BB characters, I have to choose exclusively Northern English accents. But I would also include wiggle room for a Welsh accent.

I figured I'd use my Tumblr to save progress and develop my "Percy as a Werewolf" story which keeps rapidly growing in my head. I already have a working title, that I will use to mark posts about it:

Cumbrian Moons

Feel free to mute/block the tag "Cumbrian Moons fic" if I annoy you with my update posts! More Info under the cut:

Working on this project means, it will be a long and cumbersome process. So I decided to merge it with other Percy-related ideas I carried in my head for the last year. This promises I will still be excited about this project in the long run (I hope). Headcanons included from this point onward:

Bisexual Percy

Squib descendant Audrey Flint (her father is a squib from the Flint family. Yes she is a cousin to Marcus Flint) She knows generally about magic but hasn't cared about it much until meeting Percy.

Percy exchanges letters with his great-great aunt Muriel F Prewett who is quite fond of him (as he is the only one of his siblings who regularly writes to her)

she won't be as mean as portrayed in the books, and she won't hold a stigma against Muggle Culture or Muggleborns (on the contrary, she relishes Muggle lifestyle and is well-versed and quite up-to-date regarding Muggle culture!)

Percy indulges in divination and shows Audrey some of the less magically involved methods before he tells her about magic. (Think Tessomancy and Bibliomancy)

Audrey is an avid hiker and happens to find Percy while group hiking (yikes) she proceeds to visit him out of curiosity and nosiness, but stays for conversations

Percy hides magic and his Lycanthropy from Audrey, but she grows more and more suspicious. Percy does not even think she could relate to the Flint family he is familiar with

It could be fun if Percy had a short something with Marcus in the past? He only realizes he is with his cousin when he has already done some stuff with Audrey xD The poor man is totally flustered upon combining the facts...

I love the idea that Nobby likes James; even sorta respects him! What about Nobby and Gordon? I bet Nobby isnt so impressed by bossy big blue babey Gord

Oop, started to respond and then saved this to drafts. And then I forgot about it. Sorry.

I didn't want to answer at once, though, because when I received this we were only about two-thirds of the way through Springtime, and I thought it would be better to talk about this after the story was over.

Because now you've had a chance to see Nobby bossing someone else around mercilessly — and then, on a dime, going into utter, catastrophizing meltdown the minute he himself suffers a mild indignity.

So I hope it makes sense when I say that Nobby and Gordon have some similarities!

Another is that Nobby actually was, in his youngest years, a similar sort of all-important savior-of-the-railway company flagship. His domain was much smaller than Gordon's, of course, but he had the same absolute primacy and pride. And much like the youngest Gordon it's really not that Nobby was a bad sort, but a fellow engine trying to make him see sense when he was on his high horse was just a fool's errand. (Nobby was a lot more respectful of human authority in those early years... which you may consider to make the situation better or worse, lol. He definitely had—and still has!—more of a temper than Gordon, though, and can be way pettier. The counterbalance is that he has higher ideals and a better ability to relate to other engines.)

A final thing they have in common is that they conceive of and hatch rather daring ideas. Leadership qualities run strong in them both.

Of course, none of this means that Nobby will recognize these similarities. Or that they will in any way dispose him to think kindly of the infant galloping sausage.

Hmm, I reserve the right for this to change as I write, but in general I just think Nobby doesn't at first take much notice of Gordon particularly (heresy, I know!). In the same era Gordon is arriving, so are several absurdly large new Sodor engines and to him they are all ill-mannered whelps.

He doesn't get as steamed up about any of them as much you might think, though, because they are fundamentally Not His Problem. His railway is undergoing Grouping at the time — he has bigger fish to fry. Anyway, if any of his lot were a fourth as rude as the Big Blue Bastards, he'd tear them to shreds, but that's because he knows they were taught better and he expects more from them. Nobby kind of regards Gordon in the at first as a sort of orphan. Not in the sense he pities him but that he kind of half despises him as a poorly brought-up urchin and half thinks it's a shame that no one did better by him.

Nobby has definitely at times told Edward, when Edward has the dubious fortune of bringing a train over the bridge, that he must really tell that Gresley to do this or not do that or to act in such-a-such way.

At which point you can imagine Edward just staring at him with weary disbelief. Nobby, you don't tell Gordon things... it's a waste of good steam.

Nobby thinks this is making excuses, lol. To his mind it's entirely Edward's responsibility to Coppernob all those lost boys into respectable engines. Put your frames into it, son.

Not To Be Moved - Just Yet por Andrew Por Flickr: Having moved from Tyseley the day before 7029 Clun Castle was being prepared for a rare excursion on the Settle Carlisle Railway. The carriages of the Cumbrian Mountaineer Express - note the "eer" to avoid brand stealing - would arrive in Hellifield behind a diesel and 7029 would take over.
