CGI Edward (especially in TAB/S19) would absolutely hug and squeeze and make dad jokes with AEG Gordon

Sometimes a family can be just a dad and his seven giant steam locomotive children.

Bonus James-centric screenshots because I have a favorite child (clearly):

Watching SLOTLT:

....Okay... we need to talk about Sodor's Legend Of The Lost Treasure. Many TTTE fans love it and call it "the best special" and "the peak of CGI Thomas." But we need to face facts. It's far from everyone's favorite and actually the Most Controversial of CGI Thomas.

My stance? I say people who don't like SLOTLT are right- just for not for the valid reasons. Prepare to be roasted.

The movie heavily flanderizes Thomas and ruins his character development throughout the series. It practically takes everything that made him unlikable in the Miller era and turned him back into a complete, 100% irresponsible idiot. Take The Great Discovery, a special VERY similar in plot for example. After his trick on Stanley that demolishes the tower, he actually shows full remorse and tries to make up for his mistake.

In Lost Treasure, that is not the case. Here at the start of the movie he's just like, "I'm number one so I can do what I want!"

And it's not until THE DAY AFTER the Dynamite Incident that it finally sinks in and he's like "Aw it was my fault..."

Plus, he would've been mature enough by now not to let Gordon's teasing get to him. In Season 5, he literally tells Percy to just ignore George's insults and simply does just that.

Why are insults such a big deal to him NOW that he has to run of with Gordon's coaches and derail them??? This doesn't make sense! Yes, he is meant to be cheeky, but how the hell do we go from how he's written in Tale Of The Brave to this?!

So much dumb shit happens that could've and should have been easily avoided. The accidents Thomas cause would've have been stopped in a heartbeat if they ACTUALLY REMEMBERED drivers and firemen exist. When Thomas falls into the cavern? HOW THE HELL are they so unaware of the workmen shouting trying to stop them?! How do they not once look where he is going and see the signs?!

They're not even trying! Look at them in the cab! Up until the accident happens they're practically just chillin'! You're not fooling anybody! Are they high on crack in there??? Are they paying rent in there??? Do they just spontaneously go blind and deaf??? Hello?!?! Wake up and control your fucking train!!!

Let's cut back to the coaches. WHY is Thomas shunting Gordon's coaches when that is NOT his job anymore now that he has his branchline?! That's the whole reason the big engines went on strike and Percy was brought to the railway! Topham has HOW many shunters now? And you're SERIOUSLY gonna tell me not a single one could've done it instead? Look how empty Knapford is!

What about the Diesel Boxcab introduced this season? Why isn't he in this movie to do that instead? Did he die?

Overall, SLOTLT is just a pointless Great Discovery rehash sprinkled with stale RWS references, (which help set up this movie's god awful plot in the first place) returned characters, and cinematic visuals and music pretending it's actually a good movie with a likeable plot. Not only does it take the three-strike formula and fail miserably at making it good, (The three accidents Thomas causes) it can't even remember the show's continuity properly for God's sake! For a what's supposed to be a tribute to the RWS, this is not a good look at all, Andrew Brenner. You did not cook.

What's even worse is that for all these years everyone in this fandom just blindly glazes over everything this movie does wrong and then act like it's illegal for someone not to like it and it's disgusting. This movie single-handedly damaged the entire TTTE fandom for 10 years. 10. FUCKING. YEARS.

We already had a special that did this kind of plot so much better in every way. WHY are we doing it AGAIN??? Why wasn't The Adventure Begins enough for this year???

We did not need this. We did not need any of this shit. Just skip to Season 20 and you are not missing too much, I promise you. Peak CGI Thomas my ass. HALF the CGI specials are the least bit more deserving than this shitshow.

This movie sucks. We do not speak of it, I'm done talking about it, it's not canon, it doesn't deserve to be, it never existed. It's dead to me.

All it's got going for it are the visuals, voice acting and music, Donald, Douglas, Alfie and Oliver returning, and the Miniature Engines introduced. That's it.

Just because a movie looks 'cinematic' does not automatically make it good.

This one had to be another Henry drawing. He loves the animals of Sodor just as much as he loves the plant life.

S19, A Cranky Christmas

Interestingly there’s a fanfic that takes place during this episode but the twist is that Thomas doesn’t stop in time, and Edward’s buffers start bleeding as a result of the collision.

I know he’s a giant thing of hot metal but sometimes I just wanna hug him so badly

On especially hot summer days, Donald will bring Dilly down to the beach. Dilly loves the beach, she likes swimming in the surf, splashing in the shallows, and running on the sand. Of course, fans and locals always have to stop and take a picture of her, it’s a duck on the beach after all. The day always ends with a homemade waffle cone from the local ice cream shop, and a nap in Donald’s lap. Being a local celebrity can be very exhausting.

Inspired by @the-quackeroos drawings of duck and Donald on the beach.

Random incorrect ttte quotes

(Context; Takes place in BWBA. Nia likes Henry. Just an interaction I thought up. I tried to make Thomas's personality resemble Trampy's Thomas btw)

Thomas: Hey...Nia?

Nia: Hmm...? Oh! Hello, Thomas!

Thomas: Yeah, hi...uh, why do you keep staring at Henry like that?

Nia: Like what?

Thomas: You stare at him as if you've never seen a big engine before. Can't blame you though, he's quite fat, isn't he–?

Nia: THOMAS! Don't say that, Henry doesn't look fat at all! He's strong, kind and quite...handsome, I must admit.

Thomas: Okay, whatever...wait...did you say Henry's handsome?

Nia: N-No–!

Thomas (putting two and two together): Oh my god. You have a crush on fucking Henry–

Nia (flustered): I-I..yeah?! Maybe?! So what if I do? Henry's such a sweet engine!

Thomas (if he could pinch the bridge of his nose, he would) : Out of all the engines on this whole island, Nia...you're so lucky he's became soft–

Nia: What's wrong with Henry?! Henry's kind, loves nature and animals like me, and he's patient!

Thomas: Yeah, 'kind and patient'...sure...you wouldn't be saying that back when the first Sir Topham Hatt was here

(Thomas then gets an idea)

Thomas (deviously smirking): Nia, have you ever heard of "The Railway Series"?

Whistle Wednesday doodles! Finally was able to show s12 to my friend! S12 I love how uncanny you are in terms of visuals.

Creepypasta uncanny Edward coming out of the smelters yard

Hank! I fucking love Hank so god damn much he's the best one off character he should have had more episodes/cameos. Umi and I made an entire backstory for him

S12 Aka Gordon's noticeable character development

I think Percy should use his "im this close to snapping" whistle more often

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

Agreed!
