molly is such a fascinating character to me. and surprisingly, not because of her content in the show. but her lack of content. molly really felt like to me she was supposed to be the break-out star of the HiT era. let me explain why.

in short, it's all down to marketing and merchandise. i'm a massive HiT era apologist, mostly because it's the era of ttte i grew up with, but as i was looking through my catalogue of merch, i noticed something...molly was popping up. a lot. weirdly so.

i have a good amount of those briarpatch ttte board games, and typically they were for 4 players, and as such 4 engines were provided to play as: thomas, percy, james, and...molly? at first it seems weird, but when you think about it, it makes sense. molly rounds out a quartet themed around red, green, blue, and yellow, and also adds in a female character. i think that last bit is important, but i'll get to it later.

so i went digging, and the 4 player briarpatch games pre-molly usually had mavis in her place, likely also to add female representation, just swapping yellow for black. there are a few exceptions, i recall seeing toby and harvey instead, but again, it was mostly mavis.

looking at more merchandise outside of board games in this era, molly got quite a bit of focus. she was part of a set of 4 bath squirters along with thomas, percy, and james, and what i find most shocking, she was one of VERY few engines to receive a trackmaster remote control engine. molly also was featured on a 2008 great discovery trading card, even though she only had one line in the entire movie.

after this, i went digging deeper into the world of the thomas microsites and online games, where molly also had a strong presence. the quartet of thomas, percy, james, and molly continued in the simon-says type memory game (i think it's called 'peep peep!'?) and molly also appeared in the emotions game, but this game featured 5 engines, and the fifth...was emily. remember my point theorizing that molly was focused on because she was a girl? here's where it's important.

this five engine ensemble of thomas, percy, james, molly, and emily is repeated again in the plug n' play game 'right on time', a game that i own and remember fondly. emily was chosen again to fill the fifth slot, and i think it's because HiT wanted to have a gender-equal ensemble a la bwba. and i think molly was chosen specifically not only because her yellow paint is unique and for her gender, but because she is probably the girl character at the time that had the most opposing personality to emily. as we all know during this time, emily was interesting and had flaws unlike SOME OTHER ERAS- portrayed as having a very strong and opinionated personality, which would easily contrast towards molly's more shy and sensitive personality. both have also been described as having sisterly attitudes towards other engines. i think HiT wanted to prove in this 5 engine ensemble that they had varied writing for their female characters.

for all of this, i think that molly WAS supposed to be a much more important character than she turned out to be, mostly because she was marketed so heavily and disproportionately than her screen time would lead you to believe. molly also appeared more often than the other HiT newbies (bar rosie), but that isn't really saying much with how little other characters like neville or billy appeared. i don't know why molly was dropped so suddenly when the set up for her seemed to be there? only thing i can think of is that emily had just been moved to tidmouth sheds right before series 9, and that they didn't want to repeat that process?? idk i'm just spitballing because i've been thinking about molly a lot recently. on a small related note, her basis is also very specific and her design is SUCH a standout compared to other new characters at this time, so clearly effort was put into her. i wonder how different the series would have been if molly was elevated to prominent secondary character status like salty or mavis, or even main character status!

tl;dr i think molly was originally going to be important but then she wasn't :(

La la la!! Diesel march!!!

Planning on making thissun digital........ but here's my sketch which took me 2 months for some reason..

My not entirely serious headcanon is that since the 2000s, the Ffarquhar Branch Line (and Mavis!) has a long running dnd game with Henrietta as a dm. Thomas' stoker introduced it to them and they've been hooked ever since. They also do sidequests and their current one is a murder mystery on an express. Hell, even Bertie joins in once in a while.

Oliver has been begging to join it ever since he heard about it. He has a character sheet ready. Yes it's just a self insert but he swears he can make it work. Thomas. Thomas please.

HOYA LIV!!

I'm scuttling into the inbox once again because I wanna chatter with you. BUT I noticed you have Dean Winchester as a platonic and like I'm staring because Dean has been my longest time fo,, like seven years and like it's so good to see people still have him as a platonic. He needs friends honestly and I'm just shaking because I love sharing sources with people so I'm just that one meme,, this one

Dean is my little blorbo who I love and adore and I'm so happy he's got good people to be around.

i've said before how mavis is a call-back to thomas, right?

The Manager spoke to Mavis severely. "You are a very naughty engine. You have no business to go jauntering down Toby's line instead of doing your work up here."

"It's that Toby," protested Mavis. "He's a fusspot. He..."

"Toby has forgotten more about trucks than you will ever know. You will put the trucks where he wants them and nowhere else."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'," said the Manager sternly. "You will do as you are told — or else..."

Mavis stayed good for several days!

[Text available under the cut! Realizing now the image text is a bit small]

Teriyaki - Emboar - She/They

A little rash but kind at heart.

Makes a big deal out of preparing properly for dungeons!

Often acts as Teriyaki's hype man. Loves to make spectacles out of her announcements.

An expert at disabling traps, runs free courses on how to handle them.

Misses old team a lot and days of adventuring.

Still, she wants to support Teriyaki, and the Royal Valora Guild as best they can.

It's finally complete.... a full page of doodles of some of my human ttte chars

Was just doodling without putting too much pressure on myself for it to be perfect, so these are a bit messier than usual but I'm okay with that, a lot of this is still conceptual too, still ironing out the kinks

But yeah!! This took me about 3 days to fill the whole thing

Gordon, Bill, Ben, Thomas, Diesel, James, Boco, Emily, Mavis, Millie... and some other little doodles here and there
