CASA TIDMOUTH'S MY AU: THE TWO GHOSTS OF SODOR

(Inspired by @bruhstation)

Timothy Elijah ???

Age: (25) When he tragically died

Occupation: NWR 0's driver (formerly)

He was a very kind and gentle soul. On top of that, he was very patient with everyone and got along with everyone. He had a strong sense of justice before the ("incident"), and was very determined to get back at those who have wronged him. He can be stern and serious at times when the situation is very serious or in an emergency. He was BFF with "That Blue Engine," specifically, and would usually only talk to him. Sometimes, the two of them would go almost insane but that would never happen. Timothy would usually be with Alfred whenever he plans on getting back at anyone involved with selfish duties or at the Troublesome Trucks whenever they go too far with their pranks.

Out of the main ghosts, he and "That Blue Engine" would be the one that rarely talk about their pasts before becoming ghosts. Nobody knows how he died. Nobody knows about the people that they left behind. Despite his pleasant and friendly nature, nobody really knows his true side is that he's very different from other ghosts, well. That's until he got reincarnated as the number 1 engine driver, also known as "Thomas Andreson Billington!"

He doesn't really remember anything when he's Thomas now, but he does have some faint memories of his past as another engine driver and he can still hear the voices of "That Blue Engines," voice whenever and wherever. He would sometimes lose control of his past self and would almost go on a rampage on killing people though he would have no memories afterward his rampage and won't remember anything (yet)

He would also have a Golden Whistle, though it's not entirely powerful as Thomas, since he doesn't have enough golden dusts.

Trivia:

● He can be quite protective of someone if he's very close to them.

● He likes using smilies while talking, though it can get quite annoying at some times.

● He tends to treat those who are shy or made fun of just by pure kindness. This is why the Troublesome Trucks spare him from their pranks

● He seems to have a tendency to butt into other people's conversations whenever it may go south, though he rarely doesn't do that anymore since after he got reincarnated.

● He's somehow connected to Thomas Billingtion, though he never met the lad, though he kept saying that he's really familiar to him personally (I wonder why)

● He remembers that he had a younger brother who looked just like Thomas. But he doesn't really quite remember his own childhood either. It remains a mystery.

Likes: The nature of the wilderness, sight of busy roads, life savers, and Knox Gelatin

Dislikes: people who are jerks, self-centered, selfish people

Jay N ?????

Also known as "That Blue Engine"

Age: 36 (though no one really knows his true age)

Occupation: NWR's driver (no number)

Jay was an unusual engine driver. For starters, he appeared out of nowhere to Sodor. He always had a creepy smile stuck attached to his face. It's like it didn't come off. He rarely shows emotions to others except for Timothy for some odd reasons. He also likes to mutter to himself about something creepy, though no one can really understand him. He's very distant from everyone else besides Timothy. He once wanted to strangle Alfred to death but was stopped by Timothy.

Mr. Hatt didn't trust him with passenger duties, but he was fine with good trains. After all, he was planning something to the passengers for one day, but that all ended when Timothy did the thing. Jay was actually the first one to fully go insane in 1934 when the NWR was suffering due to financial problems, his train, and he was about to be sent away and Jay didn't like that at all. His mental health was so bad that he had a mental breakdown; where he would scream obscenities, death threats to everyone associated with the NWR, and promised revenge.

There's not much information left about him, though a lot of ghosts have said that he resembles Edward Pettigrew the NWR 2's driver, as of now. He haunts Sodor to this day, mainly Thomas (Timothy) like ranting to him and telling him to go on a rampage and start killing people, though that rarely happens when Timothy is in fully control of his new body. With some kind of vengeance in mind of him, I wonder why he was driven to such madness....oh, well, we may never know (yet).

Trivia:

● Know one knows about his background or who's his family is.

● He would usually get into fights with people he dislikes. It would end up with the victim all bloodied up.

● The scarf was given by his father as a bday gift when he was younger, and he kept it ever since he tragically died.

● He's also one of them that no one knows about his "incident" or how he died.

● Something about his unnerving smile he does doesn't seem to be pleasant. It feels quite creepy to the point where some people would freeze or break down in a mental state when they see his smile. What's up with that? Oh, well.

Likes: his weird mutters, thinking of killing people, bitter foods, scary horror slasher films

Dislikes: talking about his childhood, Thomas (Timothy) not destroying the whole NWR economy, people who think they're right!

And that's all for these two, I wanted to make my own AU with these two after being inspired by @bruhstation

I've been into my old TTTE phase. I'm not sure why, but oh well. It's really fun to make these guys, and I wonder if I can make mini sketches or comics out them and their past lifes, but we'll see where the year 2025 takes me guys.

So I've been watching a lot of Girl With The Dogs videos recently, and thought it'd be funny to do a parody redraw where one of the railway staff started an "engine grooming" channel, where they wash and paint the engines while also giving the viewers information on their build/class and specific needs.

I am now kind of attached to "Guy" and might adopt him as an actual OC that primarily mans the Washdown Station...

Edward!!

Ugh I need a break /nm

[nicoleartzy]

I remade my TTTE AU of Timothy and Jay since the last one of their poses looked like it was copied off of @bruhstation

So, I decided to redeem myself and remake their poses in my style. Their bio are still the same, just the poses and designs have been changed.

It's still inspired by @bruhstation

Merry Christmas Everyone!

steam team's seniors during their baby years

A friend group so weird and toxic to people they dislike it could rival It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s. They're not immune to the "I came to Sodor to avoid my problems and wanted a fresh start" trope many Sudrians also follow

Edward Pettigrew

Age: 31 as of 1984

A kind, friendly NWR railwayman who didn’t mind a lot of things and was popular amongst younger folks for his looks and demeanor. He likes showing newbies the ropes of the NWR and Sodor as a whole because he just loves infodumping. Despite being made fun of by some railwaymen for his “weirdness”, Edward worked hard and was known as the jack-of-all-trades by his peers, usually treating younger and newer railwaymen to drinks after work to get them accustomed to Sodor (he did this to Henry, then Gordon, then James). Originally from the village of Pezë in Tirana, Albania, 1940s. Due to his beginnings in a small rural village and the Albanian government’s censorship of outside influences and heavy restriction of traveling outside the country, Edward’s hunger for knowledge about the world grew more and more. His family had connections to the Lëvizja Nacional-Çlirimtare and Edward’s particularly bright and good at talking, so he became a diplomat to travel outside Albania – a step into his plans of learning more about the world. After landing himself in the United Kingdom and studying everything he wanted, he believes it’s still not enough. He found out about an island infamous for its supernatural occurrences and cases of people missing just off the coast of the UK – Sodor. Being the curious man he is, he discarded everything that’s needed for the LNÇ to locate him and landed on Sodor, gorging himself with every mystery the island has to offer. Impulsive? Yes. But for the first time, Edward felt true freedom. However, Edward got too curious and nosy and became a casualty in an accident fueled by supernatural hysteria related to Lady of the Legend and was transported around 40 years into the future, landing in 1983 with his memories all over the place. Despite losing his sense of self and having no idea what he is, his thirst for knowledge still lives on inside his head. His cheerfulness, amicability, and kindness are extensions he formed to make up for the hole inside his heart. Edward does love his friends, but he believes that if he can withhold information from them and make them all live in blissful ignorance, they can be truly happy – this all stems from his fear of exceeding his limits and being discarded (which he later copes by being a typical wise friendly old man in 1999). He often sees visages of Lady in his dreams.

Gordon J. Gresley

Age: 26 as of 1984

Joined after Henry. Looked like he was fresh out of a funeral. A young hotshot who was more polite, quiet, and reserved compared to his 1999 counterpart. Gordon started out as an apprentice fireman for the Wild Nor’Wester’s previous driver. He treated his arrival on Sodor as a desperate last resort to escape his issues and grief and pitifully believed he was “lumped with the social pariahs in the boonies”, but he’s gotten better and believed that this is where he can truly outshine everyone, much to the annoyance and chagrin of his seniors. Gordon acts like he knows what he’s doing in order to build up his image as someone who’s dependable and strong and revels in small basks of limelight. However, he was constantly uncomfortable with how Edward treated accidents as normal due to their survivors being in tip-top shape the next day and how Henry is so distrustful of and odd about everything and everyone and sweats 24/7, but he’s been masking and convincing himself that he’s not like the rest of them. He’s normal. He’s normal! Let’s all hold hands. Don’t be fooled by his sad face. Young Gordon can be arrogant and think he knows everything for being a youngin.

Henry Stanier

Age: 27 as of 1984

Joined after Edward, so he’s quite close to him. Gordon’s “senior” by 6 months. He’s always, ALWAYS scared endlessly about anything “out of the ordinary” and beats himself up over it, much to his own disgust. Henry had a deep rooted hatred and jealousy towards his peers for pitying him after a coworker revealed to other railwaymen that he’s narcoleptic without his permission. He’s been masking his disabilities despite it being detrimental for his well-being, but as long as people treated him “normally”, Henry would endure (dreadfully). He did this especially with Gordon, the newest addition to the Northwestern Railway at the time, because he didn’t want anyone else to treat him differently when they find out about his health issues. As an extention, Henry developed a vitriol towards Gordon too – he’s particularly jealous about how he’s so “ungrateful” of everything’s given to him like his fair looks, clothes, and position as the to-be face of the Wild Nor’Wester. They did become friends though despite the process not being easy. It’s okay. They became besties that were mean to old nosy folks. Initially wanted to pursue arts, but due to circumstances from his past related to his health and paranoia fueled by his past failures and “jinxes”, he came to Sodor as a half-hearted last resort to get a job. He wasn’t hopeful of having anyone respect him for who he is, but things do get better, much to his surprise.

James A. Hughes

Age: 25 as of 1989

Joined the NWR 5 years after Edward did. At that point, Gordon already discarded his GNR Green look and went for the blue attire (minus the big coat). Flaunts his beauty almost at any given time, especially when someone mildly complimented him. He’s more of a nerd (word used loosely because he acts like a know-it-all when he actually has no idea what he’s doing) compared to his canon, 1999 counterpart. James came to Sodor for a fresh start and believed he deserves more than what he’s given. He thinks he’s so tough and hard as nails – in fact it became his source of hubris because he gets into accidents and was scolded by his seniors for being so vain and stubborn. He doesn’t want to get dirty, he doesn’t want to shovel coal, he doesn’t want to get wet from the washdown suds – he only wants the good out of the work and doesn’t want to accept the “bad” sides as well, so James was branded as the “problem kid” of the NWR by older folks. James, who can’t handle harsh criticism and labels well, grow even more distant with them. He primarily hangs out with the RWS trio because they seem to understand his situation and the feeling of being “outcasted” (despite Gordon’s annoyance at his boastfulness).
