The Origins of The Stesel Team

In the bustling world of Sodor, nestled in the sparkling blue sea of the U.K, is a humble but rightfully proud railway Island. For decades, Thomas the Tank Engine and his steamie friends ruled the tracks, their whistles echoing joyfully through the valleys.

But unlike the happy-go-lucky atmosphere of Sodor, the diesel engines had long held a grudge against them. Engines like Rusty and Mavis felt shunned and misunderstood, being seen as the “Good Diesels, at first glance, a compliment, but when you take a second look, it’s still just as bad as an insult. But all the diesels could agree that their sleek bodies and humming engines were not as loved as the traditional steam engines that paraded the rails.

The animosity had persisted for years. Any time a steam engine and a diesel crossed paths, huffs and puffs of disdain filled the air. “They’ll never change!” scoffed Diesel, his eyes narrowing at Thomas as he puffed cheerfully with his friends. Steam looked down upon diesel, claiming that their rumbles could never match the beautiful chuffing of a steam engine.

But soon, everything would change on Sodor.

A massive, almost supernatural storm had formed on the horizon, swirling fiercely and threatening to sweep across the island. Rain poured relentlessly, causing landslides and blockages on the tracks, while flooding made many stations unreachable, and winds would tear down communication lines.

Soon after, a series of announcements buzzed through the air, the engines were needed more than ever to work together to clear the tracks and get life back to normal. “This railway will never get back on track without teamwork!” cried Sir Topham Hatt, his words wavering against the looming despair. "Every engine must work together!"

At first, the Steamies were apprehensive about teaming up with their diesel counterparts. They could still hear the echoes of past conflicts rattling in their rods. But as the two factions stood staring down the broad stretch of tracks engulfed in mud, something remarkable happened. Percy, the small green engine, spoke up, his voice carrying strength. “We can do this, and we must! I know we engines usually grumble about working together, but maybe we have ideas we’d never be able to discover if we didn’t work together!”

Reluctantly, Thomas nodded. “Okay, it’s worth a shot. Let's try working together, just for a little while.”

Meanwhile, Diesel and his friends were sceptical, yet they knew the severity of the situation. Diesel 10 growled, but even he was beginning to recognize an undeniable truth: the storm wouldn’t wait for old grievances. And so, the Stesel Team was born. An unlikely coalition of steam and diesel engines. In the spirit of determination, they gathered together at Tidmouth Sheds, exchanging brief glances filled with uncertainty. “Alright,” Diesel 10 announced, trying to sound professional. “We may not like each other, but we all want the same thing, so let’s make it happen before I change my mind!”

With a plan set, teams formed: Teams like Thomas and Mavis paired up to clear debris from the main line. Teams like Gordon and Rusty worked together to shift heavy rocks blocking a tunnel, while Percy and Toby teamed up with Diesel and Daisy to transport supplies for the workers maintaining the tracks. At first, it was awkward. Mavis and Thomas stumbled over their words, with Mavis insisting on a new route only for Thomas to disagree, claiming it would be slower or which way to go next, but soon enough, they found common ground, realising that blending their strengths made a powerful team. Mavis had an efficient eye for navigation while Thomas provided positiveness, lifting everyone’s spirits amid the rain-soaked chaos.

Days passed, their resolve flourishing, and the once dense tension gradually faded. Watching the engines mingle with newfound camaraderie sparked a warm light in the heavy atmosphere. Soon, laughter filled the air, steam and diesel harmoniously blending in a symphony of clinks, clatters, and chuffs. Finally, the storm passed. With the tracks cleared and order restored, the Stesel Team gathered one last time at Knapford station, exhausted but triumphant. “Who would have thought we could do this together?” Thomas exclaimed, looking at Diesel 10 with excitement. “Not me, that’s for sure!” Diesel replied, a hint of a smile creeping across his face. Sir Topham Hatt stepped forward, beaming with pride. “Thank you, all of you! You’ve shown just how powerful teamwork can be. Today, you’ve not only cleared the tracks; you’ve cleared the air between steam and diesel. I’m proud to say you all are really useful engines!”

Roars of whistles and horns echoed through the station, and some would say the whole world. From that day forth, the Stesel Team remained a part of Sodor’s image. The steam engines and diesels continued to work together on special projects, celebrating not only the differences between them but the strengths they each brought to the railway. Even those who weren’t Steam and Diesel were accepted with open arms as old rivalries evaporated like steam in the sun, and the laughter of engines echoed through the valleys, promising that Sodor would not only endure, but that friendship would prevail

One chug at a time.

exo for the ask game hehe 🫶 ❤️

No one mention how I picked a new favorite album since the last time I picked a favorite exo album (2 days ago). I listened to my exo playlist a lot between then & now and I have a new favorite 🤭 technically jongin was my first bias but ksoo joined him pretty quick and I wanted to acknowledge that I was literally a dandanie for like 5 years or however long it was. Also I still say jongin's a bias but since baek's, well... baek, I put nini in the bias wrecker square. Almost put pcy with him. And favorite duo's so hard with exo bc there's so many good duo dynamics. My honorable mentions (aka duos I almost picked): chansoo, baekchen & sekai

send me a kpop group and I'll do this ⤵️
