#confusion and delay

Now that I've finally shown off Astra, time for a new Chuggington OC that I've just completed, and not only is it an antagonist, it's not one of mine:

Meet Margot The Malgev Monorail, created by @lomotunes2008 !

Margot is one of the monorails on trial for the monorail line from Chuggington Airport to Buffertonia. Vee would only choose up to four to stay, and well... Margot failed miserably.

Margot's personality is certainly the polar opposite of Astra's, annnd just about EVERY officially canon chugger for that matter: She's an angsty youngster who's rude, impatient, and spreads suffering and misery wherever she goes for her own amusement. So yeah, don't let her onto your railway or she'll cause confusion and delay lol

She was an absolute menace to society throughout her time in Chuggington, bullying and taunting every chugger she meets yelling at them to 'work harder' and disturbing passengers and station staff by blowing her horn too loudly, and yet she tells Emery he's the one bad at his job...

Vee recieved complaints about Margot throughout the day left, right, and center, and furiously sends her away in disgrace. So yeah, she's pretty much a short-lived character who likely never appears again after that.

I was really excited to do this when Cal revealed his own Chuggington OC, and weeks before I showed off mine no less XD

Other stuff I was working on behind the scenes kinda slowed this down a bit, but here we are! I really enjoyed designing Margot! For those wondering, this 3D model by Puggo10 on Sketchfab was used as the base:

Also bonus sketch weeee!:

Just found out last night that Howard Da Silva was apparently 6’2 🫢 he doesn’t look it at all tbh but he was. Then David Ford was that height too cuz on camera he looks roughly the same height. That also means Jonathan Moore was like 6’4 or something cuz he was very tall to begin win. And when he’s next to Franklin he seems at least a foot taller.

Idek anymore cuz Howard definitely doesn’t look 6’2

Just got off CalleyFan's livestream for part 2 of building The Ice Cream Factory in his Roblox Chuggington game, and thanks to wifi issues on CalleyFan's end, it didn't exactly get off to a great start...😅

This is the 4th CalleyFan stream I was in the chat of btw

So i have more question, what are the relationships between each one of the lord?

Who is friend with who?

Who hate who?

That kind of relationships not necessary love!

(Maybe do like one of those circle with link that connect each lord, eatch link with specific color for eatch lord, past lord and mel?)

Want to know more!

(I had to finish it with my mouse+keyboard so please bear with me)

Edit: Relationships before Frisk arrives. Some changes happen bc they get involved!

More details on what the arrows are for

Friendly - On friendly terms, related or good impression. Either the Lords are close or their respective sins complement each other, making for harmonious cohabitation. (They can still fight and they're still demons but relationships are overall good)

Hostile - Open conflict. Occurs only on the king's orders. It is an official declaration that does not necessarily reflect the feelings of both parties, and usually concerns royalty and outcasts/fugitive/banished demons.

Tense - Animosity but unless the King's allows/requests it, Lords can't openly fight and have to tolerate each other. Usually involves conflictual sins, territorial disputes and past arguments.

/!\ It also includes "forced" tensions (bc of royal order), misunderstandings and big disagreement on one specific subjetc, making the overall relationship strained.

Wary - Unrelated to the "Lord" status, it's purely based on the individual's past and their feelings/interest.

Scared - Due to power struggle, status, reputation or past encounter

Admiration - Genuine admiration or fondness, as a Lord and/or individual

If there's no arrow, they don't know each other or are neutral (or I forgot, it's one messy diagram, sorry...)

If arrows have 2 colors, it's a mix and is ambiguous.

Okay, I'm going to talk about the Illario comment from the AMA. This one:

It frames Illario in a way that feels like he deserves everything that happened because he is Bad. Viago, Teia, and Lucanis (and Caterina????) are Good and Illario is Bad. Illario had to be kept in check, because he is Bad. Lucanis belittles Illario because he is Bad. Caterina never respected or cared for Illario because he is Bad.

The idea that the reason Illario was treated the way he was is because everyone around him could just tell he was just inherently Not As Good As Them in some way is an awful thing to suggest, but it's also a bad storytelling choice, because it's boring? Illario is a tragedy, he's not a kids' cartoon villain. He's a victim of his circumstances, a victim of favoritism, a victim of abuse. It doesn't absolve him of his own choices (crimes), but it does explain them. In a way that is way more interesting, and tragic, and satisfying than just "well he was Bad all along".

BUT ALSO Illario isn't even that bad? Before *this*, what is the worst thing Illario has ever done? His job?? Is his crime not developing an abundance of empathy and altruism in an environment that was literally intentionally designed to turn him into a ruthless killer?? He is pretty selfish and only cares about himself and his family (which is, again, exactly how he was raised to be), but just because he isn't "good" doesn't mean he's evil.

In The Wigmaker Job when Lucanis asks him to, he rounds up the slaves and gets them to safety even though he thinks they should kill them because they're witnesses. Lucanis says he trusts Illario, says he "may be a snob, but he's true to his word", and he IS! Illario could have just left them and made up some excuse, and the only consequence would have been Lucanis being mad/disappointed, but he didn't. Both Lucanis and Teia mention that he is the one who follows Lucanis and helps put out all the proverbial fires Lucanis starts. Illario doesn't have to put up with any of this. He chooses to follow Lucanis, and chooses to help people when Lucanis asks him to. He's not evil, he is very explicitly neutral.

Because while Illario doesn't have empathy for strangers (which is a survival thing! He can't feel empathy for people he has to kill them! Lucanis is an anomaly) he has an abundance of it for Lucanis. He worries about Lucanis, he cares about Lucanis! He resents Caterina's treatment of not only himself, but Lucanis too. He wouldn't send someone he loves out to die on dangerous missions, and part of him resents that Caterina does it to Lucanis. ("If I was in charge, you wouldn't have to do this anymore.")

And, genuinely, if Caterina had spontaneously decided to retire to some remote island somewhere after The Wigmaker Job and leave Illario in charge, what would happen? What horrible crimes would an "unchecked" Illario have unleashed upon the world that Caterina had to protect us all from? Firing Lucanis? Honestly probably not even that, since it's more likely he'd play up his own rashness in an attempt to convince Lucanis that he most definitely should not leave Illario unattended and should instead stay safe and sound by his side, since that's the tactic he uses to convinced Lucanis to join him in this note ("Would you truly leave me to my own devices? What would I do without you!")

Illario isn't a bad person, and Caterina wasn't "keeping him in check" oh my god.
