Thinking about disabled engines. :3

Engines that are blind and as a result, have to rely on their other senses to get around. They're better at it than even humans, because I believe that engines have better memory and observation skills than us. Maybe they get special aids, made specifically for engines. Like an engine equivalent of a cane, but it's more like a wire on their buffers, to let them know if they're approaching something. Their crews help them too, almost becoming seeing eye dogs for them.

Engines that designs were flawed and it impacted their lives in a certain way. Maybe they learn to work with it, like Duck and Boco. Or maybe they get "corrective surgery", like Henry.

Engines with mental or developmental disabilities like Sidney, who have short term memory loss and maybe forget things easily. Or maybe it's something else like autism or ADHD. But everyone let's them take their time, and helps them if needed, because GOSH they know they trying. The life of an engine is hard enough already. (As someone with ADHD, this one in particular is very important to me. Just found out today that ADHD and Autism are officially recognized as disabilities! So that's interesting!)

Engines that can't see well like Whiff, and have to get glasses made specifically for engines. And engine optometrists that can get them the correct prescription lenses.

Engine Specific doctors and engineers, they make it their life duty to help these disabled engines and get them back in working order, therefore saving them from scrap. Because if there are optometrists that work on them, there are surely doctors in different fields as well.

Disability Activists, both humans ones and engine ones, that speak out for disabled people and engines. Helping them to get rights, and their special needs met like they deserve.

And, yeah. That's about it. I you can see, I find this stuff very fascinating. :)

Some of this stuff is inspired by @joezworld's world building, which I greatly enjoy. Also some awesome TTTE ocs I've seen floating around. And also some amazing disabled people and family members I have known.

Thanks for for reading!

Neville returned to Tidmouth Yard, where he'd last seen Sidney. But Sidney wasn't alone. A man in a tophat and black waistcoat stood facing him. A man with folded arms and a rigid posture.

The ill-proportioned steam engine made his way up, if only to hear what was being said.

“…and according to the stationmaster, the vans arrived fashionably late, and by another engine.

Neville grimaced. Sidney must've been found out after all. If nothing else, Neville decided he'd try to mitigate the damage.

“Please, sir, it's my fault.”

Real smooth.

“Whatever do you mean?” The controller demanded, turning to the awkward looking engine.

“I… uh… I was covering for Sidney, sir, and … a-and I-”

“I have it on good authority that you were not. You were cleaning up after him.”

Neville winced.

“It's generous of you to try and take blame for another engine, but do not forget that this is my railway, and that in the event of such disturbances, the railway staff report to me.”

“I- I'm sorry, sir, I just didn't…” he took a breath. “I didn't want Sidney to be dismissed for something he can't control.”

Sir Topham Hatt raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

“I believe the trouble is to do with keeping track of multiple tasks at once. Sir, if-”

“It's remembering stuff, sir.” Sidney admitted. “Sometimes I can't remember where a train is supposed to go, or the in's and out's of stations. I don't mean to, sir - it just happens sometimes. …Especially when I'm nervous.”

“Sir,” Bloomer stepped in, “Sidney's been doing well in the yard. Sure, he's misplaced a few wagons, but that's because the other shunters here haven't had a chance to show him around properly. Stafford told me as much himself.”

“I see.” The controller said. “I will look into other arrangements, then.”

Neville and Sidney exchanged a look. Neither knew what exactly that would entail, but both were worried all the same.

Welcome the dumb ass trio

[unpopularvivian]

What would it look like if Sir Topham Hatt received a box of diesel babies (diesel Mavis Arry Bert Philip Paxton Sidney and the others) But the grease bucket doesn't know how to take care of diesel babies, so it entrusts the job of being a father and mother to diesel 10 and to take care of the little ones, what would that story be like?

(By the way, I see that you are no longer Toby with blue eyes possessed by the diavlo)

(Yep! The dude got banished to the shadow realm!)

It would go something like this:

Diesel 10: WHAT?!?! YOU'RE TELLING ME TAKE OF THESE DIESELS!?!?

Sir Topham Hatt: Well....I don't care how to take care of them! Besides, you're the only diesel on the island...

Diesel 10: I SWEAR TO GOD THAT I WILL RIP YOUR GUTS OUT OF YOUR STOMACH AND USE THEM TO CHOKE YOU TO DEATH-

*Phillip then started crying*

Diesel 10: ~GASP Oh my god you little baby don't cry pwease pwease pwease you're safe with me I will always be with you don't cry don't cry don't cry don't cry~

Sir Topham Hatt: 😐

I completely agree. (There ARE - wait, nevermind. Forget I asked. Of COURSE there are…) both Sidney and Paxton are simple, and a bit…slower…mentally. They are technically adults, but mentally and emotionally more like children, and that’s not comfortable. That’s wrong. They shouldn’t be taken advantage of like that. If u want to STILL do the ship, maybe have cousins or twin brothers that r like them, but more mentally/emotionally capable.

Paxton, Sidney, Norman, Den, Dart, and Philip in their animal forms

no concept art yet, just brainstorming what theez diesels would be as pets in my au ;3

Paxton - Raccoon with diesel engine wheels on his legs

Sidney - Tennessee Walking Horse with train wheels on his legs

Norman - Bengal Cat with train wheels on his legs

Den - Dutch Rabbit with train wheels on his legs

Dart - Dwarf Rabbit with train wheels on his legs

Philip - domestic shorthair kitten with train wheels

The sprites belong to @Princess-Muffins on DA

Halloween coming soon!

Paxton, Sidney and Norman dressed up as the undead for that occasion ^^

[sirenofshadow]

So a 2013 character bible just leaked on Twitter(unsure if it’s made it’s way here yet?) and a ton of characters have additional info in it. Most notably is that Norman and Paxton were sent to Sodor together, and Sidney just.. wandered onto the Steamship delievering them and never left.

In my human AU, Diesel, Paxton, Sidney, ‘arry, Bert, splatter and dodge are all brothers. They came from a huge blended family and both of their parents remarried to different people and had more children (there are way more children than the seven names I just listed) and one of their parents divorced twice and remarried three times and it’s all confusing unless I drew a chart out but you get the picture.

Their upbringing didn’t affect Diesel, Arry and Bert too much, Diesel is the oldest children of the clan and quickly got jealous when his siblings began arriving. He was also put in charge of the little kids when the parents went out. Diesel obviously abused this power by putting a baby spatter and dodge in an upside down wastebasket with books on top to keep him from having to watch them every second, and tying Paxton to a chair which Paxton vividly remembers. Diesel is devious by name and devious by nature.

The only thing from his childhood that really affected diesel into adulthood was that the best way of getting your parents attention was by hitting your younger brothers and make them cry.

On the other hand, Rebecca’s family is filled with relatives that she is somehow related to but doesn’t know how she is which makes family gatherings a bit awkward as there’s a ton of people who she never knew she was even related to. For example, she and Neville are cousins but for the life of her she doesn’t know how or why they are related. And it’s all weird and a huge mess but she doesn’t care, she finds Neville to be rather chill, aside from his social anxiety and awkwardness of course.
