WE HAVE OFFICIAL COLOR!!!

We live in a world where Gordon's siblings and cousins personalities are up for grabs in terms of interpretation, so everyone has that one chosen sibling/cousin who is The Insufferable Bitch Of All Time™ and I think that's magical.

Anyway, my version of Gordon essentially served as an educator/parental figure for his baby siblings up until he was brought to Sodor, with the majority of them being fairly amicable to him (some bonds were stronger, some inevitably drifted apart), and the later generations being more indifferent because they only had stories of him (and were 'raised' by the much older siblings that he nurtured).

The situation varies more with his cousins, since they were more familiar with Great Northern than they were Gordon.

On Ryan's side of the family, there's a good deal of respect since Gresley Tank Engines were taught to be mindful of their tender engine contemporaries and their "sensibilities" (it wouldn't do to sully the Gresley name by having an internal class war), while on Spencer's side it's... Well... Err...Very very complicated.

The sense of superiority that Mallard brought on after he broke Flying Scotsman's speed record tipped the balance, and put a bit of a strain on both sides of the coin so to speak... In fact, the one A4 that has shown any sense of respect for Gordon or any of his late (and still living) siblings is Sir Nigel Gresley. It's hard to get a read on the others since they'd rather be scrapped than show genuine emotion/vulnerability.

happy to have an offgun sunday show back on the docket but i can already tell this series is going to put a bee in my bonnet every week about late stage capitalism foisting its cancer upon all workplace cultures and turning things like internships from learning and exploratory opportunities to build skills and discover interests in a field, to an expectation of free/low paid but inexplicably pre-skilled labour. do you think ye olde blacksmith's apprentice showed up to the first day of the apprenticeship and the blacksmith is like "what do you mean you don't know how to shoe a horse?? that's so basic" no. the expectation of apprenticeship is that a newborn emptyheaded youngin with a vague notion that metal is cool shows up, and is taught how to blacksmith. the expectation is not that the young savant of metalwork turns up with a list of horses already shoed, including One Very Special One in the Royal Stable, and god would you please please please allow me to debase myself for you, o blacksmith? my resumé is just like the journeyman's!! this workplace culture is a modern invention!! they used to teach you things at work!!

[breathing audibly] i just think entry level should mean entry level, and that as much effort goes into gathering experience that makes people competitively hire-able, ability, opportunity, and luck also play a role. it is lucky to know your passion early enough to be able to groom yourself to competitiveness in a sharky field of work, but a person should be able to turn up for entry level positions/interning with an unabashed "i know nothing" as long as it's followed with an "and i'm ready to learn" and it is in neoliberalism's favour to allow work environments to cut their costs by eschewing the responsibility to teach. to train the trainee.

The more scenes I see with Mustache Eddie, the more difficult it is going to be for me to see him without a stache like... this man is serving every look and every scene so good with his mustache that I keep forgetting this is the temporary look.

Also the way they intentionally filmed and edited those scenes with Eddie asking Bobby, 'you don't like it (stache)?" and then cut to Chimney saying, 'I love it,' like Kenny you'll always be 'No 1 Mustache Eddie stan'.

Just came back from deadpool and wolverine and let me just say, I don’t tend to be thirsty on main too often nowadays, but the HOLY ABS on Hugh Jackman.

Ps… I strangely want to exchange my car with a Honda odyssey

Pps…I started drawing them on my way back and I’m ashamed but I blame Ryan Reynolds for this. He brought this upon himself 🐸

Having some “Ryan & Shane aren’t really friends” demons which I know is stupid and parasocial and like not born out by the literally all the evidence that we have but I can’t help it sometimes. 😭 I just rly love their dynamic on screen, I hope it’s similar off screen.

oh those ARE demons!! they are Best Friends!!! a huge reason their onscreen dynamic is the way it is is Because they're Like That offscreen. you can fake a lot while making content but the kind of easy chemistry they have and the way they joke with and poke fun at and just talk to each other... you Cannot fake that. AND what we see is most often a Toned Down version of who they are off camera so i have to believe the bestieism is even more than we know.

also the first mystery files debrief when ryan legitimately could not think of Anyone he would be able trust on a bank heist Except For Shane. like yeah that was a jokey scenario but it means something that he believes shane is the Only person he can trust would not turn on him in a high stakes situation. like... ryan threatened to kill shane earlier in the episode he Did Not need to turn around and be that sincere. that's real.

ALSO also reading the interviews they did for ghost files and mystery files and seeing them in other people's content (shoutout my fav trypod episode) it's soo clear in the way they speak to and about each other that they really do love each other and working with each other and they make each other better creators.

and! shane was in ryan's wedding!!! his wedding that yes was published in a magazine but was not publicized in a way that matters for their brand. if they were just trying to push some fake friendship image they Absolutely would have taken advantage of that.
