Actually it is deeply funny to me how the Batman fandom does not acknowledge Harold in any capacity so when I first saw him in comics I was fully jumpscared by “who the hell is this motherfucker”
Anyway more fics need to feature the full on Hunchback of Notre Dame subplot that apparently went down in the Batcave
I want Tim or Dick to offhandedly mention missing him or something while the newer kids are like what the fuck are you talking about what do you mean

these days the facto assumption usually seems to be that all of the Bats know everything about other members of the gang, so it's really interesting to get these jarring reminders that they used to operate with crazy levels of secrecy. like just in Nightwing #20 (1998) we have Barbara being the last person to find out that Harold even exists, years after he started living in the Batcave
and, even more drastic, Barbara and Tim meeting in person for the first time ever (also god they talk about Bruce like he's an elderly dog they need to keep track of lmao)
and Babs doesn't even know Tim's secret identity! when he and Dick head over to Wayne Manor to look for Bruce, Tim peels off to check on his dad next door, and not only does Babs not know why but Dick doesn't even tell her. she has no idea who Robin is outside of the costume and absolutely no one thinks that's weird.
they're sooooo dysfunctional I love them

According to my studies... The Engines are cats.
Giant metal cats. Need proof? Allow me to present my case.
Exhibit A: Zoomies.
All those time the engines felt the need for speed and went hurtling down the tracks like they've lost their minds? Cats do that too. In some cases, the end result can have the same level of property damage.
Exhibit B: Swatting. Also known as, aggressive/panicked shunting.
Thing doesn't work right? Smack thing. Cats do this all the time. Engines do too. We see this a lot when they interact with trucks. Something looks scary/wrong about that truck? Or it's acting up? Get that away from me!!! *Rams Truck, sending it flying*
Exhibit C: Aversion to water.
Most cats don't like water. Neither to engines. Even if it's not enough to put out their fire. They just hate it. There are obvious exceptions of course, like James. (But he's pretty much the engine version of an overly pampered house cat, that gets baths everyday, so that makes sense.)
Exhibit D: Flying things are bad.
Percy and Harold. James and the Hot Air Balloon. Need I say more? Cat's like to chase, attack, and eat flying things. They hate them with a burning passion.
Exhibit E: Neatniks.
Most engines like to stay clean, or at least get cleaned up after the hard work. They hate hate messy paint, dirt, and mud. Sound familiar? James is the perfect example of this. He's like that cat that licks itself everytime you pet it, because you "messed up it's fur". Lol.
Exhibit F: How did you get in there???
Cats seem to get themselves in the weirdest places. So have the engines. They are almost always found in the weirdest predicaments. And certain engine on Sodor, has done this MANY TIMES. How he managed to get clear on the other side of a mountain without tracks? Good luck trying to figure that out Topham. Pfft.
The engines are cats. I rest my case.
(Note: This is not to be taken seriously. This is just silly posting. Thank you.)
