Xander challenges Bridge to an arm-wrestling contest

I fear for poor Bridge's arm, especially if Xander uses that muscle-y form of his

Hi there!

I read somewhere that the only royal family that didn't wish Queen Margrethe II a happy birthday (on her most recent one) was the British Royal Family, but I'm not sure if it's true. If it is, why so?

I don't recall any royal family saying happy birthday to her this year. It was her 84th birthday, it wasn't a special birthday.

Um...what are you thoughts on the Abaddon riders from the Zero One movie?

wasted potential and i wanted to see more of em tbh

[lavenderrosiefan]

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

I had this weird idea of James II tying his hair in a ponytail

He'd look adorable with a ponytail tbh. I mean I once thought about him with pigtails for an odd reason. I think he'd look so cute either way.

The Great Race Part 2

Narrator: That night at Tidmouth Sheds, all the engines were talking about the Great Railway Show.

Thomas: Can you imagine if any of us actually get a chance to compete?

Percy: I think you would do a great job if shunting was an event Thomas.

Edward: Did you hear what any of the events would be, Thomas?

Thomas: I only heard the famous, Flying Scotsman say that there's going to be a racing event.

James (laughing): Oh we know Gordon would want to compete in that. He'd love to have the chance to show off.

(Henry rolls his eyes.)

Henry: It's not as if you wouldn't want to show off your paintwork, James.

James: Ha! I'm sure the judges would love to see my glorious paintwork.

Emily: I do think you would do an amazing job if you did a freight pulling competition, Henry.

James: Oh please, Emily. Henry isn't even the strongest engine on Sodor.

Henry: I'll have you know James that I pull heavy goods to the Mainland all the time. Murdoch only provides goods work for the farmers and Sir Topham Hatt wouldn't want to take him away from that. They would need two engines to pull the trains I can all the way to the Mainland.

Percy: What about Hiro? Isn't he pretty strong?

Edward: Hiro would most likely represent Japan, Percy. He is a JNR Class D51 after all.

James: Yes, yes, we all know what his class is, Edward. Why would that matter? He doesn't live in Japan anymore so he should be able to compete for Sodor.

Emily: Victor's still a Cuban engine despite living on Sodor, James. Donald and Douglas are still Scottish despite living on Sodor. It's possible Sir Topham Hatt would let both of them compete where Hiro would represent Japan as his native land.

(Gordon backs into the sheds groaning.)

Gordon: Are you all still blathering about the Great Railway Show?

Thomas: It's not blathering, Gordon. We're all very excited to see engines from other countries compete against each other.

Gordon (scoffing): I think it's nothing but a waste of time. I wouldn't want to be racing against my brother like some show pony.

Percy: But you like showing off how fast you can go.

Gordon: You don't understand, little Percy. I have to boast about my speed because I'm the pride of Sir Topham Hatt's passenger fleet.

James: Gordon you don't have lovely red paint like me. If anyone's the pride of Sir Topham Hatt's fleet of engines it would be me.

(Gordon groans.)

Gordon: You are the same size as Edward, little James. You could never keep to my schedule. You simply aren't able to go nearly as fast as I can. There isn't a single engine on this island who could pull the express like me.

Edward: You do know Gordon that Connor and Caitlin were designed to go up to 123 mph.

(Gordon rolls his eyes.)

Gordon: Connor and Caitlin are STREAMLINED Edward. They only travel from Ulfstead Castle to the Mainland. They are not express engines like me.

Emily: Spencer's an A4 and can go up to 125 mph.

Gordon: Spencer wouldn't dare risk his position just for some frivolous race. And again Emily he's STREAMLINED. He serves the Duke and Duchess of Boxford which means his work load isn't nearly as large as mine.

Thomas: But why wouldn't you want to at least see your brother the Flying Scotsman again?

Gordon: That is not of your concern little Thomas.

(Gordon rolls backwards into his shed.)

Edward: Well everyone I suppose that's our cue to turn in for the night. Good night everyone.

(They all say good night except for Gordon.)

Narrator: One by one all the engines fall asleep. Although, Thomas could've sworn that he heard Gordon crying as he fell asleep.

(Thomas falls asleep as we fade to black.)

Hi there!

I just wanted to say that your some of your posts about George IV inspired me to write an alternate history fic about him (which I'm still working on)

Thank you, @lavenderrosiefan! Sorry, I'm just not very good at replying to asks in a timely fashion! Reading and writing about George IV is such a good time, happy that my Prinny posts hit the spot! <3

RPM Rangers reacting to the Boonboomgers and vice versa

I suppose the context in which they encounter each other has a large factor in their impressions of each other

But I think the RPM Rangers would be quite thrown by the Boonboomgers, and maybe jealous of them somewhat. Although they do have a problem in the Hashiliens, their situation is way more salvageable than what they deal with (a post apocalyptic world where most of the earth is a wasteland). Also the Boonboomgers can afford to be more lighthearted and not be on edge all the time.

The Boonboomgers would definitely be horrified by what the RPM Rangers have to deal with, the fact the apocalypse happened. And while they could understand why the RPM Rangers are always kind of serious (except Ziggy, who is Ziggy) they would think they can afford a bit of loosening up sometimes

Hello there!

If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason the reigning monarch wears red on the Trooping the Colour event? (Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don't know a lot about the BRF)

Hello :) Not a stupid question at all. Military is not my thing so I often have to google stuff like this ten years into blogging haha. It only applies to military uniform - the Queen wore civilian clothes for a long time. Trooping the Colour is basically a military parade for the Foot Guards of the Royal Household Division. There are five different regiments that make up the Foot Guards and they take it in turns to lead it. The monarch wears the uniform of whichever regiment is leading so they are different every year but all the uniforms are red so if, like me, you don’t pay attention to that kind of thing it looks the same every time!

Thank you for the tag, @defensivelee!

Here are four pieces of art I've chosen - it's mostly portraits of people:

1) A self portrait done by Pablo Picasso:

2) Andy Warhol's pop art portrait of Marilyn Monroe:

3) The Albert Memorial across from the Royal Albert Hall; designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott:

4) And last but not least, The Windsor Beauties by Sir Peter Lely (does it matter that there's more than one??):

And now I'm also tagging @culpepers-wife, @vintagedolce, @lavenderrosiefan and @tapdancinghllnd to join if they want :⁠-⁠).

Hi there, trust you are having great Tuesday. I'm a victim of abuse from my grandmother and dad, I don't want to go too much into detail, as it's highly triggering, i worked on getting some evidence to press charge against them(going well so far) but i need to move out of the house of my abusers as soon as possible and seek justice. I need all the help i can get (please see my pinned post for my frequently updated "beg-post"). I beseech(beg of) you to donate towards my moving/getting justice if you can. Also, if you can, please consider boosting my pinned post (a detailed beg-post)(if you have already seen my post somehow before now, there's been a recent development/progress)- that will help reach more potential helpers. please don't ignore me, please!. I'm open to suggestions/corrections, you can send an inbox/ direct message if you have concerns/questions, and i will answer in no time. Thank you for hearing me out.

Hey everyone, it seems this person really needs help and it would be really great if you can help them, in anyway if you can

Would Gentaro (Kamen Rider Fourze) be friends with the Power Rangers?

Yes of course he will. When he says he'll befriend anyone he means it
