Headcanons: He plays acoustic guitar!

Unpopular Opinion: Really not a fan of the semi-popular fanon characterization where he's dumb.

Revival Redesign, Main Engines || My Kofi & Commission Info || Do not edit, trace, or repost!

Rusty, Momma McCoy, Greaseball, and Electra.

I know the Non-Replica productions tend to be Different. And I do like some of the revival's designs. However, some of them missed the mark imo. So I'll be tinkering with the designs, trying to keep what I feel works, without the regular show's guidelines (mostly).

built to be yours | soulmate AU greaseball x dinah

greaseball doesn't have a soulmate. she doesn't need one, and she doesn't want one. well, that's what she tells herself anyway. ~~~ dinah has dreamed about meeting her soulmate since she got her first mark, aged six. as she gets older though, she realises her soulmate is getting hurt an awful lot, and she's slightly concerned. and a little annoyed.

still, once she finds them, she's sure it will all work out. right?

everyone's favorite woman

(headcanons down below vv)

Heavily rebuilt British Rails Class 56, manufactured at the Romanian Works - worked as a heavy freighter hauling coal

Up and coming British national

Her personality traits include: quick temper, sailor mouth, high maintenance, and superiority complex

Physically imposing and exceedingly strong

Not shown here, but she has long, sharp nails that never break

Might have been the reason the last British national was disqualified. Who knows though, probably just a rumor...

That girl you hooked up with who promised a relationship and then never called you back

If you look up 'schadenfreude' in the dictionary, it's a picture of her with a big grin

One of those characters that you're happy is fictional

[op3ra]

i think post-refurb rusty is very popular in winter since he's a steam engine and hence very warm to the touch. so anyone and everyone (including supposedly hated rivals) will take advantage of this fact when it's cold

[dinahstissue]

i love them your honor
