A Polaroid of Donald and Douglas from when they were first hired by the North Western Railway.

A little bit of lore to go with this.

I head canon that Duck likes to take a lot of pictures, especially of his friends. How could he not take one of the twins when they first joined the team?

Donald looks slightly different from the usual design I have given him, that because they had to look exactly the same so as not to get chucked out of Sodor so easily. STH was very confused when the controller in Scotland said that he should have the brother with long hair, only to find both had short hair. Once it was confirmed that both were staying, Donald started to grow out his hair again.

This was originally going to be part of a bigger project I was working on, but all of the little pictures in it deserved their own spot light (in my opinion), so here is one of them.

[just-an-emily-existing]

Hey pookie, hopefully this can distract you from everything because I can only imagine the feelings you have now 🩷💕

Regarding the ships in your au, how did they realise they had feelings for their partners? And also- what is their favourite thing about their partners?

(Sending lots of (platonic) love and support, even if I’m MILES away from you rn, I’m still always just a message away) 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

I knew you’d come in clutch, tysm for this bestie. I’ll do this for me and Douglas, Oliver and Toad, Rosie and Mavis, and Thomas and Percy. But I will try and go into deeper details on every couple's origin story. Let me know if you want any othe short couple stories. But these'll be short stories lol

Happy Reading!

For me and Douglas, it started when he first saw me. He instantly fell but I didn’t, I just wanted to get on the train to Sodor. But we kept bumping into each other like at the store or just on the street and we became friends, he showed me more of the Little Western and I showed him my drawings. Word quickly got around that Douglas has a crush on the new human girl. It was Donald who ended up snitching and telling me he liked me. I was honoured to be someone's special person. I immediately told Donald to take me to him. Luckily Douglas was taking a break and laying down next to Dilly's pond. I confronted him and asked if he liked me. Of course, he was a blushing and stuttering mess but he eventually spat it out that he liked me. By this time I was really starting to like him too and we agreed to go on a few dates to see if we’d be a good match. After one summer date in July, Douglas accidentally called me his girlfriend, but I didn’t mind, I liked the new title and by the end of the night, we become official! Of course, we had to keep our relationship on the down-low cuz at the time, human and engine couples were unheard of and kinda taboo. But after being yelled at by an old angry couple, it was STH who made the announcement for me and Douglas' relationship to be accepted.

For Oliver and Toad, they met after Toad was transferred to a new engine after being in an abusive relationship with Samantha (One of my Oc’s). Like Douglas, Toad instantly fell for Oliver, but Oliver was SO oblivious. Toad would leave subtle hints that he likes him but Oliver never caught on. Once Oliver was sent for scrap, Toad, Isabel and Dulcie were sent to be transferred to another engine, but Toad wasn’t having it, he had spent years with his love and refused to accept this fate. On the night Oliver was supposed to be scrapped, Toad came up with the idea to run away to Sodor. Oliver loved it and the four of them ran that night. Unfortunately the four were captured one night and were sent to the nearest scrapyard and left on a siding to rot. It was them that Toad finally told Oliver his feelings, seeing that they were not going to make it. Oliver was taken aback but accepted his feelings, although not truly feeling the same, he felt honoured to be the someone Toad was utterly devoted to. Oliver promised to go on a real date once they got to Sodor. Toad was confused but with this newfound energy, Oliver felt determined to live, not just for himself, but for Toad, for Isabel and Dulcie, and his siblings that he lost long ago. After being rescued by Douglas and were properly fixed up. the two finally had their real date and it went wonderfully! They were able to truly express how they felt for each other and explore their new home together. It was actually Oliver who asked Toad to be his “Precious Shell” (That’s Oliver's pet name for Toad) and he happily agreed. From then on, the two became inseparable, always pulling trains together and hanging out with their friends.

For Rosie and Mavis, I like to think they met after Rosie was rejected by Thomas and was feeling really down in the dumps. She and Mavis were scheduled to work together at Brendam Docks, but Rosie just couldn’t seem to focus on her work, only Thomas and his rejection. Mavis finally asked what was wrong and Rosie explained everything. Mavis listened and gave her input when needed. She told Rosie to try and move on and focus on herself cuz it was obvious Thomas isn’t interested and Rosie deserves some self care. Rosie understood that was the best move. Of course she tried, with Mavis' help and all but she just couldn’t get over him. He was perfect in her eyes and seeing him and Percy made her all the more heartbroken. As the days turned into weeks, Rosie tried hard to take Mavis’s advice. She immersed herself in her work, hauling goods, helping friends around the island, ect. But every time she saw Thomas, her heart would race. She admired the way the sunlight glimmered off his shiny blue paint and the way he laughed. Mavis noticed Rosie’s struggle. Encouraging her to join in fun outings, she suggested they go on a scenic trip to the seaside. Rosie hesitated but finally agreed, hoping the change of scenery might distract her. They talked, laughed, and shared stories the whole day and really got a better connection with each other. Mavis had a warm energy that made Rosie feel valued. Eventually, as the sun began to dip below the horizon, turning the sky a canvas of oranges and purples, Mavis told Rosie that she was loved, not just by those around her but by everyone on the island, and she didn't need the approval Thomas to feel good about herself. Rosie felt a warmth spread through her as she gazed into Mavis’s eyes. In that moment, something shifted within her. Maybe the engine she had always been destined to be with wasn't Thomas after all. It was Mavis, right there beside her, always supportive and always caring. Weeks turned into months, and their friendship blossomed into something deeper. Rosie began to notice how Mavis made her laugh like no one else could, how they shared a powerful connection that felt electric. One evening, as they stood side by side overlooking the same beach, Rosie took a deep breath, feeling a sense of freedom wash over her. Rosie finally spoke her mind and told Mavis how she felt. Mavis was surprised and asked if she was ready for a relationship. Rosie was sure, her feelings were true and was able to move on from Thomas fully. Mavis was happy to see her love become the best version of herself and from that day forward, Rosie and Mavis became a couple. Thomas and Rosie are still good friends, and are happy to have a stable friendship.

For Thomas and Percy, whoooo boy it's a crazy one. It started off as Thomas not really liking Percy (Then, pre-trans), thinking he's a bit dull and Percy just being oblivious to his subtle dislike. But of course, they grow to become good friends after working many jobs together and just hanging out as friends. Percy starts transitioning after a few years of being on Sodor, using he/him pronouns and having Thomas' support through it all. The day Percy became fully Percy, he showed off his new male human form to Thomas before anyone else. It was a bit of a shock to him but he still thought of him as a friend and would continue to call him his best friend. But little by little, after many years, they start to fall for each other and began pining for each other. Everyone could easily tell they liked each other, especially James, the engine they'd tell their feelings for the other with until finally James had enough of their pining and wishing for them to just get together already, so he planned a surprise date for them. With a plan forming in his mind, James decided to set up a special date for Thomas and Percy. He carefully devised a strategy to get them both to Tidmouth Sheds where hopefully, the two could open up to each other. Once there, James had planned a nice picnic for the three of them, as they all had the day off and had the whole sheds to themselves. It was very awkward cuz Thomas and Percy just couldn't seem to get the ball rolling, so James finally just spilled the tea. The two were embarrassed and tried to get James to shut up, but finally see that they had nothing to fear, cuz the feeling of love was mutual. Finally Thomas and Percy opened up and told the other how they really feel. James sighed in relief that he was able to bring a satisfying end to his favorite rom-com, which was Thomas and Percy lol.

on crowley's loneliness

there's sth that has been sitting with me vis a vis Crowley, loneliness, and what the fandom, largely, has made of it... and it is the notion, simply put, that Crowley is - well - lonely.

but of course he is, you might say, I've even got textual evidence for it! and you might quote Good Omens Season 2 Episode A Companion to Owls directed by Douglas MacKinnon and written by John Finnemore, and you might point to the final conversation of the Job Minisode, when they agree that being a demon/angel who goes along with hell/heaven as far as he can is...lonely!

and, yes, that's right and true.

and yet. still. I want to argue against Crowley being lonely. at least to some extent. I'm not saying crowley isn't lonely, it's more about how that loneliness is sometimes portrayed/interpreted/understood?

I think we need to look at Crowley's loneliness on different levels: his loneliness vis a vis humanity and his loneliness vis a vis the occult/his job/his place in the ineffable scheme of things

because it's right there in the quote, isn't it? it's lonely to be a demon who doesn't feel part of hell. it's not about being lonely on earth with the humans.

when it comes to humanity and friendships to humans, regardless how close or not they may be, Crowley is not lonely! he forms attachments, he meets and knows tons of people, he schemes, he has fun (Jane Austen anyone???? I mean it's actual canon) and yes of course they all die - of course Crowley's human friendships, just like Aziraphale's, are always slightly detached because , well y'know, they will outlive every single human they will ever meet, and that will influence your attachment style. they don't even really meet humans as equals, arguably, but they both have been shown to continuously engage in friendships, whether those are superficial acquaintances (like neighbor Maggie to Aziraphale) or genuine connections (like Leonardo Da Vinci or Jesus, both canonically really close relationships of Crowley's!!) but it's not even the fact that human friendships are fleeting that makes him lonely in the end - it doesn't cheapen the experience. he's used to people coming and going. it's the way things are.

where the loneliness hits, and yes it hits hard, is on the supernatural level. hated by heaven and hell etc etc. before he became closer with Aziraphale (so roughly around Job) he was truly a solo agent, all alone against the not-world, and this experience of defying both hell and his arguable purpose as a demon made him lonely where it mattered most. but Aziraphale has since been with him, they are the same, they are a group of the two of them and they are only lonely together, which is a different kind of loneliness. it holds defiance and partnership - us against the world.

he still struggles with purpose, both his own and that of the universe, he struggles with his own love for humans and God's seeming indifference to them, and there's loneliness in that too, or at least pain, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any friends??

ah I think this is the bit that gets me! that people think he doesn't have any friends! or that he doesn't have a life outside of Aziraphale! there we are, I have arrived at the core of my problem apparently. (idk if I'm making any sense with this incoherent rambling, I'm making it up as I go)

but basically I just have been irked by seeing this idea a few to many times that's basically: 'aziraphale is a happy little socialite who draws friends to him like moths to an angelic flame while crowley needily and sadly and longingly waits by himself for the angel to grace him with his company' (this is slightly exaggerated maybe but you get my drift, and I'm sure you've seen takes like that) (I love pining Crowley as much as anyone believe me, and oh boy does he do pine - but you know what I mean right??) (I just love this stupid optimistic and loving demon too much)

i wrote this weeks ago for fun but since fleetwood mac garcia got approval i'll send the whole thing (also totally agree that eliwood WOULD love the eagles. he’d play hotel california so much during road trips and roy hates him for it)

(playable) GBA FE Axe Dads Classified By The Type of Dad Music They'd Listen To:

Barte: Blue Öyster Cult. Barte is peak axe dad but there's no way in hell he'd actually like good music. (I say as I listen to ‘don't fear the reaper’)

Douglas: Not really dad music anymore but Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. He'd say he likes jazz then listen to the most white boy jazz of all time. Also Micheal Bublé or Kenny G.

Hector: Hector is such a mess. He wouldn't even listen to music on purpose. If he did listen to music seriously he’d like Queen or maybe Spin Doctors? He’d like dad rock but not sure what brand.

Hawkeye: Steely Dan. He’s not a stoner but he is so clearly depressed and probably knows that Athos is a lying POS. His favorite Dan album would probably be Aja. caaaaall me deacon blues… [note or sth: can you tell what my favorite band is? lmao. /silly]

Garcia: Fleetwood Mac. ‘Dreams’ makes him cry. Ross would make fun of him for crying at the most dadcore band of all time and Garcia would sit him down and take thirty minutes telling Ross his entire life story (again) and how much the song resonates with him. Then Ross would feel really bad :]

Dozla: Weird Al and/or They Might Be Giants. Maybe Crash Test Dummies too? He seems like he’d sing ‘Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm’ under his breath subconsciously and it'd annoy the shit out of Rennac.

[kattythingz]

I was talking with my mom the other day about the struggles of writing the homunculi in a modern au because the seven cardinal sins aren’t exactly socially acceptable things to name a child (although I have read some stories where that isn’t an obstacle or is pointed out as a strange thing to name a child but is otherwise disregarded past that). So we were trying to think of names for modern au versions of the homunculi.

Some already have one, so those are easier depending on the iteration. Pride being King Bradley in 03 and Selim Bradley in Mangahood. Lust using the alias “Solaris” in Mangahood. Sloth using the name Juliet Douglas in 03. Wrath being King Bradley in Mangahood. It’s not all encompassing, but they are names that can be used for the characters. Envy is likely to use the names of the person he’s impersonating, while Greed and Gluttony don’t have a different alias (unless you count Greed and Ling sharing a body as Greed partially having Ling’s identity, I guess?). So we thought up some things.

Mom supplied the name “Avery” for Greed as a shortened form of “avarice”, and it fits so well???

In that same vein, I think Raven could be a suitable name for Gluttony as being short for Ravenous. But Tony could also work with that same logic.

I know Lust does have an alias with Solaris already, but I can’t get it out of my head that Desiree is also a very fitting name for her!

Elias for Envy as an altered version of the word “alias”, alluding to his ability to have any alias of who he’s impersonating but also starting it with E for Envy.

With Mangahood sloth, I figured just using Douglas could work. 03 sloth is Juliet for short while Mangahood sloth is Douglas for short, still keeping with the main alias used by sloth in 03.

03 wrath, though? Head empty, I wasn’t able to think of anything. Maybe you would have better luck knowing more about 03? Or maybe you have other names that you think fit the other homunculi?

(Also, technically off topic, I like to headcanon Lust and Greed as twins. Lust being the second oldest and with the Ultimate Spear and Greed being the third oldest and with the Ultimate Shield, I figure their abilities and ages being so close could allude to them being created around the same time with Lust being shortly before Greed)

YOOOOOO YOU ARE COOKING WITH SOME OF THESE NAMES. I love Desiree for Lust!!! I think Tony fits Gluttony a lot more than Raven, since Raven kinda has a... cool edge to it? And Gluttony is kinda the opposite of cool, lmao. Elias works great for Envy, and I like splitting the Sloths' names so it's one each! I dunno how I feel about Avery for Greed, though... It's a little basic for him, methinks. Greed, above all the others, would want a "cool" name or at least sth that stands out over the rest. What do we think of Rich, like a derivative of Richard? :D

03 Wrath... see, it's funny cuz I was struggling to give him a title in my hades au the other day too. If we're keeping his mommy issues with Izumi, then he'd def pick sth "ugly" to identify himself as far away from her. Or he'd try too hard and pick a unique name that sounds way too edgy. Nothing specific comes to mind though.

Chad headcanons!

I hope you meant Chaz because who tf is chad 😭

Chase builds so many legos it’s insane

Is got him one of those Lego flower bouquets for like a date and dude almost had a mental breakdown (it’s the ✨trauma✨)

When they sleep they gotta have both like three fans and three blankets on them because they both have very different internal temperatures 😭😭

Their closet is like 85% flannels and they make no distinction between who’s is who’s

Double dates with Bree and Skyler

Douglas understands the gay and figured sth out so that chase can stop sleeping in a fucking glass tube because really wtf was that 😭😭😭 so

Chase has the most agridous bedhead because he sleeps like a fucking maniac (he has accidentally thrown kaz out of the bed on multiple occasions 😭😭😭😭)

If they have a house it has so many books (both comic books and regular books) and their all alphabetized because of chases magical autism power

If they stopped eating Chinese food for a month the place they order from from be like “damm y’all alright?”

They both have terrible sleep schedules and yet worry about each others sleep schedule

This

All of their pillows are like orthapidic because they deal with so much neck pain (don’t ask me why I just KNOW their posture is terrible)

Remind each other to take their meds

Their text convos are very unhinged in a very endearing way

They share custody of so many stuffed animals

(This one is from @secretsandlabrats) chase like has his own Lego building shed shack thing because why not everyone deserves hobbies (it reminds me of the commercial that’s like “somebody burned down my she shed”

Chase will like absentmindedly pick at his skin (because dermatillomania) and kaz will like let him know and shit

Idk if any of these make sense because my brain is fried but like feel free to keep sending me asks and shit I really like em!!!

Wilbert, Duck, Oliver, Donald, and Douglas blew their whistles and Paxton honked his horn as they all chuckle as Steam Clouds rolled in

People in the past fashioned tools out of not just a variety of animal bones, but mussel shell as well. This complete right valve (shell) of a black sandshell (Ligumia recta) mussel from 2012 MVAC excavations beneath STH 35 in Onalaska, Wisconsin, is just one example. It was used for scooping, scraping, or digging, as shown by wear along the long edge opposite the hinge, where the left and right halves of the mussel shell would join. Damage is visible on the outside of the shell (top), as is flaking on the inside of the shell (bottom). This edge of the shell, given it came from a black sandshell, likely would have been razor-sharp initially. 

Though not a common artifact for La Crosse area Oneota sites, similar modified and edge-damaged shells at Oneota sites along the Des Moines River in Iowa and to the west have been shown to have been used for shelling the kernels from ears of parboiled green corn. An extensive literature review and ethnographic studies by the late Dr. David Gradwohl found that a number of Native American tribes employed mussel shells in a rather elaborate process of preparing corn for immediate consumption or storage. Interestingly, at Iowa Oneota sites, the black sandshell was the preferred species used for the proposed corn shellers (see Gradwohl 1982:135–156). The black sandshell is not uncommon in large and medium rivers of the Midwest, including the Mississippi.

I started watching Total Recall at the same time I got a toy of Amy and thus the incredible yet insane idea of a Total Recall AU but with Amy Rose as Quaid was spawned in my mind and now I can't stop thinking about it. It makes no sense yet it's perfect.

[idridian]

oh yeah, @asylos showed me "zoolander" the other day, which went exactly the way you might expect

i asserted during our last watchthrough of space odyssey that every movie parodying the dawn of man sequence is doing it better than stanley and miri immediately replied with "we should watch zoolander" and i somehow didn't clock what that meant and was just like "lol okay"

this movie is full of cameos. i'm absolute shit at recognising people. hilarity ensued

loudly booing one (1) specific cameo for obvious reasons

i managed to recognise will ferrell and i've literally never been prouder of myself

also i got hit by apollo's dodgeball of prophecy during the gasoline fight because i was like "okay now somebody throw a match at that" like HALF a second before that guy lit his cigarette and miri laughed while i lost my entire fucking mind about it

"who's the scary dom lady i love her"

ah, she's milla from 5th element (and resident evil. which i havent seen)

i confused her for pulp fiction lady at some point

i didn't comment on the bone the balls guy has displayed on his desk but i was quietly wondering why that was there

for ANTS

miri: do you recognise that voice me: 'do you recognise-' no. the answer is always no. who is that? miri: haha. mulder x files me: i havent seen that show

zoolander: hi, paris me: hilton, i assume? miri: yes

i am. SO bad at cameos, y'all

is that rihanna?

is that brad pitt?

i dont know any of these models

miri told me "get ready for the best cameo in the movie" and i was about to say sth to the effect of "there are so many people onscreen i'm scared of missing it" and then fuckin DAVID BOWIE walked out and i lost my entire mind AGAIN

not me going "aww" at this movie when it's being sincere about sth

"honestly they should be a throuple" i said and apollo took that personally

pictured: my reaction to the reason miri showed me the film

miri said "the computer comes back in a fun way" and for a beautiful ten minutes or so (until the actual payoff happened) i lived in a world where i was about to hear douglas rain voicing a hal parody. because i had read somewhere that he did that at some point but i didnt remember the details, so i thought he was in zoolander

he was not. the thing i was vaguely remembering was his role in sleeper (1973)

which is later learned he wasn’t even in and it was probably a soundalike rip

anyway zoolander was a surprisingly wholesome bop

[librarianofdreams]

SWEET LITTLE BABY JESUS I am so glad to have come across you @mrghostrat and this post for so many reasons!! 😱✨

a. this absolutely brilliant (and now neatly organized✨) shelf of yours feels like home to me in such a deep level. like. the recommended unhealthy amount of Good Omens copies; Sherlock of course; this gorgeous edition of Douglas Adams; LEMONY SNICKET'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY which at first I didn't recognise but then my brain went "wait, not a lot of unauthorized autobiographies, are there?" and my eyes dwelled a bit further and I recognized the colors of the books and 😭😭😭 now I'm thinking what have I done with mine, I hope I didn't give them away

it is so heartwarming to see this set of what was my core formative fiction too, just sitting there, happy in the shelf. I miss my books so much, I hope they are happy wherever they are

B. you have it. THE edition. THE one I've been trying to track down for months and ordered twice and got a different edition on both times and now I have three copies of Good Omens but hey that's really not a problem, is it? because I was so determined to find out if this was my copy (or, well, my edition, in this case) that I had years and years ago and is now long lost. I've been trying to locate someone with this edition that could show me what's the photo of Neil and Terry that's printed on the book, because if it's the one in the graveyard with the leather jacket and the hat then I'll know for sure that this is *the* copy and my heart will be fulfilled 😭💕✨

C. and somehow I hadn't realised this before, but.. it was good omens that made me reconnect with my book person side again, which had been kept in a (metaphorical) box for so long. but I had never thought about Aziraphale's role in all this, and your tiny little remark just made sth in me click, and realise that once again it's about love and how Aziraphale moves something in me that makes me want to feel comfortable in myself, and allow myself to love the things I love most deeply.

damn, angel. ✨

AHH!!!!!!! i’m unpacking more of my shelves and i finally found My Copy of good omens 🥺 i’m so relieved, i was worried for a minute that i’d lost it. but here it is in all its yellow paged glory 💛

[spin-in-time]

Twenty seconds into hidden side and yes obviously i made the right decision to stan el fuego, he is the best
