BoCo and Gordon 💚💙

A little art of my favorite Gordon ship. The buzzbox and the galloping sausage. Gordon ever since the wrong road incident had a crush on BoCo/Boris.

Ships? But Sir, They're Trains!

It's Valentine's Day, and to celebrate, I thought I'd break my usual streak of not shipping the talking trains together and share the pairings that I like the best! But only of the original 11, and a few other RWS-related friends (and maybe a bonus or two from the TVS).

Also known as: local weirdo decides trains can kiss, but only on Valentine's Day.

Let's get into the ships... er... trains.

Thomas:

Almost chronically single. I'm sorry Thomas, but you're not very good at the dating thing. Maybe Hank if I swallowed my pride and went to watch Season 12 - just because Hank's calm and friendly personality would naturally balance out Thomas. But also because they are the epitome of 'gentle giant' and 'tank engine terror'. Also, Thomas blushes in this episode:

(Sorry for the Season 12 image, but it's the only Season Hank was in!)

Edward:

This engine has options! Or more to the point - this engine has suitors. Not all make sense to the poor engine - but that's the pain of being the one everyone looks up to. I would put him with BoCo, but I must admit I had a phase where I read EdwardxJames fanfics. So... nostalgia wins (that and Edward needs someone with a fiery personality to boost his confidence sometimes, and James needs a cooler head all the time).

(Look at the smile on James' face! He's ecstatic to see his engine.)

Henry:

Bear. The answer is Bear. I'm sorry, but that Hymek has it bad for Henry, and Henry fought for Bear to stay on Sodor. And after the early days when every engine fought, Henry has no interest in getting tangled up with them again, only this time romantically. Besides, the youthful energy and eagerness Bear has will only benefit Henry, who can be a bit of an old grump.

(Bear, I can't tell if you're looking into Henry's eyes or not...)

Gordon:

Hoo boy... Gordon, oh Gordon. What to do with you? Henry and James are taken, Edward and Thomas are more siblings than romantic interests - and engines 6 through 11 are just not close enough. But how about BoCo? (Yes, this is why I didn't pair him up with Edward). BoCo is calm and polite where Gordon is loud and brash - and Gordon does see BoCo as his saviour. It would probably be the plot of a b-list romantic movie, but I can see these two getting together, with Gordon being the jock and BoCo being the 'kid' of Edward.

(Look at that little smile Gordon has! This engine is smitten.)

James:

He's with Edward, thank you. More than that, he doesn't really fit well with the other RWS cast romance-wise. Thomas is something of a rival and friend, while he wants Gordon and Henry to acknowledge him and Percy is something of a little brother/annoyance to James. Edward and he have a lot to work out (mostly James groveling) but they got a lot of coding in the series from what I remember. Plus Edward saved him - so we've ticked the cliche box.

(Yes, this means Edward is the knight in shining armour. James is a diva anyway.)

Percy:

Has about as much luck as Thomas does, if we're honest. Young, childish Percy has no chance, while older, grumpier Percy is more interesting to consider. The Percy of Seasons 5 and 6 I could see bagging Harold. But then, we could also consider the absolute insanity of Percy and Diesel 10. Imagine the shock, imagine the story! (I'm a writer, let me dream about how I'd write this lot). Diesel 10 would be the delinquent who is soft for Percy and Percy only. It would also lead to an epic fight between the helicopter and the engine with a giant claw.

(Um, is Percy... blushing?! What are these faces?! I have questions.)

Toby:

Is married to Henrietta. They are old couple goals. Percy and Thomas are extremely jealous.

(Toby is grinning cause he knows his wife - that poor manager...)

Duck and Donald:

I considered Percy for Duck, but I feel like what Duck needs is an engine who can really bring out the playful side in Duck - the engine who helps him be more than just the railway he used to work for. That engine is Donald. When they ended up playing pranks on each other in Donald's Duck to the point where Duck stooped to putting a literal duck in Donald's tender knowing Donald would find it funny really says it all about these two.

(Look at him, so excited to play his little prank! His driver is wheezing!)

Douglas and Oliver:

These two practically have a kid in Toad already (or an advice-giving uncle. One of the two). Douglas saved Oliver, and that sort of thing has a lasting impact - especially because it's also the most likely relationship to actually happen. Both Douglas and Oliver are known for sticking it to authority, being a bit hot-headed and being led a bit more by spirit and the heart than by their heads. They have Toad for critical thinking. They live and work together too - and it would be hilarious to watch Duck blast his safety valve off when he finds out.

(Ah yes, let me just stare into your eyes for half an episode.)

Mavis and Daisy:

These two are disaster lesbians, and we love them for it. It's also the femme fatale (or as femme fatale as a diesel railcar can be) and the butch (she works in a quarry - this girl wears overalls) tropes - and they're disasters. Need I remind anyone that Daisy was the one who encouraged Mavis to ignore Toby? It would also be hilarious purely for how much Thomas and Percy would grumble about being single, while Daisy and Mavis rub their relationship in the pair's faces. Which would lead to that one memorable incident where Thomas tried to flirt with a very unamused and confused Bertie.

(Mavis, sweetie - don't listen to Daisy's advice. I know you're distracted but ple-- and she's gone.)

Annie and Clarabel:

Are wine aunts and siblings. And no, neither of them are interested in Thomas, so you can stop thinking that.

(These coaches are Thomas' wine aunts and best friends - and he loves them too.)

Bill and Ben:

Are children! Edward's children! That he has with BoCo (sort of) leading to the brilliant moments where Gordon has to 'babysit' them - which is mostly done with a lot of grimacing and begging BoCo to just hand this lot over to Edward and James - no seriously, please stop letting these two just randomly adopt you as their parent. They're evil, and they wanted to throw me in the sea, remember? No, I don't care that James doesn't like them, I don't like them! BoCo!

(He's petrified of them, but he wants to be nice for BoCo's sake...)

Emily:

Does not need a man, thank you. But she is entranced sometimes by Caitlin's streamlining (yes, I have seen some CGI - I am not a true purist, I am sorry Awdry). Then again, sometimes Emily likes Hiro - and then there was that one time where she was just so upset that Mavis wouldn't notice her. Emily doesn't need no man - but she's also not exactly got the best selection of potential candidates at her shed...

(She's got an amazing poker face. Caitlin however...)

So... that was a thing I did. Somewhere around Percy's entry, this gained a coherent plot in my mind - probably a High School AU? - and now I'm just thinking of Diesel 10 towering over Percy, blushing and trying to give him flowers (with his claw???) while Harold seethes. Clearly, being a single pringle has driven me insane.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone, I hope you enjoyed this wild idea and if people want expansions on these ships (still trains) and why I like the idea of them, please go ahead and ask!

If people really like this, I will take on the Narrow Gauge engines.

People there's something I need to announce. It's been circling my head like the tracks on the island.

I keep seeing multiple human versions of Thomas and friends, so I brought you a challenge

Sir topem hat as a train 🚆

Seriously, imagine if there was an episode where he woke up as a train one day and has to keep it secret. As well, trying to change back

All the engine saw him as a new one recently came. But the fact that he has the face of the fat controller. How well can he fare as a train? How useful and reliable can he truly be in his new form?

How will the train's treat him? Who would he get along the closest? How well can he go against the trucks? The diesels About whatever trouble is happening among the island?

And how would he feel to learn that he was called the fat controller?

[dragons-and-magic]

What made you ship all of them, lol?

Especially Sonny x Rebecca?💙💛

HOOOOOO BOY. This is gonna be a long one! Lol! Honestly, most of the reasons is just liked them. I saw some fan work of them and they just clicked with me. I don't know. I'm not very complicated when it comes to shipping.😅 But I'm super excited to talk about my ships, so I'll try to give some more thoughts on them than that. Let's get into it!

Sonny x Rebecca: I will admit, I didn't ship these two at first. But, after I saw some fan content of them, I was hooked. I think they would have really good dynamic. We all know it's implied that Sonny has had a very rough and frankly traumatizing life. I feel like Rebecca could be good for him. Her joyful and sweet personality might just be what he needs to heal. Plus, they give me sun and moon vibes.🌚🌞 (P.S. I almost forgot. Watching Gordon take in the fact that his daughter figure/apprentice is now dating this "thieving rapscallion" would be absolutely hilarious.)

Thomas x Ashima: I've been shipping these two for years! I mean, look at the the way they look at each other and talked about each other in a few scenes! And how Thomas really wanted her to stay with him longer? Saving each other in the competition?? Or that one BWBA episode where he fantasized saving her like action hero??? That's so frickin cute!

Another thing! Thomas is used to having to prove he's worthy for all sorts of things. Ashima thinks he's already worthy. She literally looked at him and said, you don't need to change. You're perfect being yourself and I like it.😭💖 I personally feel like they're soulmates! And make a really good team! I really wish they had done more with them in show. I was hopeful when they announced they would be putting her in more episodes. But alas, nothing really happened.

Frankie x Hurricane: I love me a good villain couple, m'kay? Also, the tragedy??? Think about it, since they're working on the mainland, they don't know about steamies and diesels finally getting along. (We do know that things are the mainland didn't change as quickly.) So picture this. Back then, when the mainland engines found out that steamie and diesel had fallen in love, all hell broke loose! So, the poor ostracized couple left to escape the hostility, and went where they could never find them. A big steelworks, in the middle of nowhere... Anyways, they would totally be an awesome Disney level villain couple. I know it.

Emily x Connor: This one has what I call "I take a tiny moment and blow it up into a huge thing!" Lol. Basically, in one episode, Connor very subtly flirted with Emily and I found it interesting. It may or may not have been intentional, but either way I thought that it could be really cute. They give me knight and princess vibes. Also, I love Caitlin and Emily's relationship. (Healthy female friendships! My beloved!) Having her as a wingman (wingwoman???) for Emily and Connor sounds all too adorable. Although admittedly, this ship is definitely not my favorite on the list. I used to like it more when I was younger. Recently I got into Douglas x Emily, which has way more hints than this ship. And that one is slowly creeping up higher on the list. So we'll just have to see with one comes out on top.

Edward x Boco: SUCH A CUTE COUPLE! I didn't ship these two at all, until start reading fic's for them and saw the fanart. Then I realized these two might as well be married! Just two nice old guys, raising three rambunctious children together.🥰 Also, it seems nice that Edward finally has someone tough enough to help him wrangle in the twins when he's feeling worn out. And their personalities fit really nicely together too. Somebody put it better then me, right here. But yeah, these two are adorable! Easily one of my top favorite ttte ships!

Belle x Flynn: Honestly, I have no reason to ship these two, other than I just think it would be cute. No canon event inspired it. No fanart. Nothing. It just popped into my head one day and I decided to roll with it. Lol. I think it would be fun to see.

Daisy x Ryan: I'm not to sure what to say about these two either. Other than they give me vintage movie vibes. (Maybe it's Daisy. She reminds me of a few female movie stars from the old days of Hollywood.) And as a vintage movie fan, I really like that! Also, it's worth mentioning she literally flirted with him in one episode. That was a surprise! It was convince him to do some jobs for her, but whatever. Lol. Also Ryan was almost completely oblivious to it. My poor Gold Retriever Boy. It didn't fully compute. 🤣🤣🤣 Still, I think it could possibly work. Especially in the later seasons.

James x Nia: YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE RARE PAIR!🤩 I've talked about it so much now! But, here's a few more thoughts on them! They actually have a few traits in common. They're both playful, fiery, and outgoing characters. And they both seem to be very loyal as well. Oh, did I mention that their matching color scheme is perfect. And I feel like Nia would help James loosen up a bit and get even more adventurous. So while definitely a rare pair, I think they're neat and should be explored more!❤️🧡

Toby x Henrietta: If Thomas and Ashima are soulmates, Toby and Henrietta are champion soulmates! They're such a husband and wife duo. I loved every episode they had together. The way they talked to other and how much they disliked being separated? Adorable!!!😍🧡🧡 Sometimes they remind me of my own parents.😂 Whoever came up with the idea to finally give Henrietta a voice and an actual face? I salute you. You were a true genius. Now I can hear their realistic husband/wife banter in it's full glory. Lol.

Well, that's my thoughts. I'm not very good at romance anything, so I hope this will suffice.😅 Thanks for the ask!

tried making some ttte memes (275)

[ttteskits]

Nah but Edward x Gordon x BoCo x James

They've all been through hell. James and Gordon hate desiels. Until BoCo happens (saving Gordon's life, according to Gordon) and Edward was just love at first sight with BoCo. Gordon and James get in a jealous scrap over Eddie and BoCo until they realise 'Oh sh*t, we're all gay for each other'

[dragons-and-magic]

It's a shame Bear wasn't used more. He seems like such an interesting character.

1. Tell me about Bear- I have absolutely no idea who he is 2. I'm still interested in the natal charts and you've talked a lot about James and a little on Gordon- But not about the others (Mossy, Edward, Percy, Duck etc.) What do you have in mind? :3

1. Oh, you’re in for a treat!   

Okay, Bear is not a well-developed character, but his intro story is still interesting. He appears in 1968’s Enterprising Engines… otherwise known as “the one where Flying Scotsman visits and Douglas rescues Oliver, Isabel, and Toad” (so that’s prob. why Bear gets overlooked, lol).   

Honestly, a ton happens in that book (it’s arguably the very peak of RWS wonderfulness) and, amid everything else, Henry has a little mini-arc over the first two stories. In “Tenders for Henry” Henry gets worked up over Flying Scotsman’s two tenders and Duck plays the same trick as goes down in the Season 3 episode. In the following story, “Super Rescue,” Henry’s regulator jams, and he’s heading home for repairs rather melancholy and fretful, expecting to be mocked some more, and regretting that he’s a “failed engine” right at this particular moment, when they have a famous visitor, and when Henry’s still very much the yard laughingstock for the tender incident. 

En route he encounters not one but *both* visiting diesel engines, who have alike “failed” with their trains far worse than he has. Now, D199 has so far done nothing but talk absolute smack about the steam engines. Bear (who is not Bear yet, but it’s a lot less confusing if we don’t drag his number into this) had tried to get his fellow Other Railway diesel to shut up, in very “don’t you think, perhaps, that it’s a little, uhhhhhh, GODDAMN RUDE to sneer at them in such endless and insulting detail when it’s THEIR RAILWAY?” fashion, but D199 is not very shut-uppable. At least until this very moment, when he’s failed, and the signalman is threatening to bring out his can opener if the useless “Spamcan” won’t hold his tongue! 

Long story short, Henry moves Spamcan and his goods train *and* Bear and his passenger train to the next station. (The other engines are delighted that Henry has vindicated steam. Flying Scotsman is also very proud, which I think is cute, as Henry’s honorary introduction into the Gresley family seems to end on a high note of acceptance after all.) Then Henry pulls Bear back to the sheds Works… tender-first, because he still can only reverse, and it’s then that Bear discovers for the first time that his superloco rescuer was *also* a failed engine and Bear is all “ooooOOOOOOoooOOOOoooo…?” and, also, *heart eyes* (that last detail may be my own editorial flourish).   

Super!Henry activates "heart-throb hero" mode

But, srs tho. Are those not heart-eyes? I ask you.

By the end of the book, D199 “Spamcan” (Never. Live. It. Down.) is sent packing but Bear stays. After the N.W.R. purchases him, he’s repainted from blue to his class’s original Brunswick green. He’s given his name Bear because of the growling noise his engine makes, and loves it, because having a name makes him feel like he really belongs. The end.   

Bear doesn’t really see much action after his intro book, though. Honestly, I find it hard to even headcanon up a personality for him, because all the canon details make him seem like not much more than a second BoCo (except that BoCo actually gets significantly more screen time, lol… especially in the annuals). The Fat Controller even praises both of them for being “versatile” in the same breath. (Because, it seems, they can take both coaches and trucks. Which, um, so? This is the island of Sodor. Y'all even made Gordon a mixed-traffic engine.) Bear works main line, he can take the Express when the usual suspects aren’t available (though his real niche is “the Limited”), James is a dick to him for a while but finally accepts him, and on at least one occasion in a later RWS book Bear and BoCo are both seen at Tidmouth sort of rolling their eyes at each other when *yet another* round of steam/diesel drama is going down.   

(Sidenote, basis-wise, Bear, as a Class 35, is actually not quite so strong as BoCo. Admittedly BoCo seems to do main line work pretty often, but this highlights to me again that his initial allocation to a branch line was a bit unusual. Honestly, it may have been meant as temporary until his motor was replaced with something more reliable. Dunno.)

TTTE x Genshin Impact

Alright. So. Genshin Impact is easily one of my favourite games (if that wasn’t obvious already lol). I love the exploration aspect, the music and the lore go hard and the characters and the regions they inhabit are visually stunning. So naturally, I’ve been playing with the idea of a TTTE x Genshin Impact AU. I haven’t got much, just a list of some possible Vision/Weapon combos, in this post, a concept which uses the Caledonian twins in a sorta “dual DPS” configuration (I’m STILL mildly peeved that the actual twins in Genshin, Lyney and Lynette, don’t have kits that sync up), and some other kit fragments for the other engines which I might include in a later post.

Vision/weapon combos

Thomas: no element / sword (male mc)

Edward: Anemo / sword

Henry: Anemo / bow

Gordon: Geo / claymore

James: Cryo / catalyst

Percy: Dendro / bow

Toby: Geo / polearm

Duck: Electro / sword

Donald: Pyro / claymore

Douglas: Hydro / polearm

Oliver: Pyro / polearm

Emily: Dendro/ sword

Rosie: Pyro / sword

Mavis: no element / sword (female mc)

Lady: Unknown God / Sustainer of Heavenly Principles

One thing I can see in this AU is Bill and Ben possessing and resonating with a single Vision……but nobody, including themselves, knows which twin it actually belongs to, since both of them were present when it appeared. It is a constant source of conflict between the two of them, and any and all fights over it end with Edward or Boco confiscating it before the twins can explode each other or cause serious damage. Just like popping it on top of the fridge where the gremlins can’t reach 🤣

A friend of mine, who goes by feather902 on TikTok, also has a TTTE x Genshin Impact AU (she calls it Engine Impact). And she’s drawn some really cool signature weapons for her Vision/weapon headcanons. Go check her out, they’re really cool!

[dragons-and-magic]

I find it hilarious that I don't ship most of the mainstream TTTE ships. I'm practically the queen of rare pairs.

Sonny x Rebecca? Ship it. Frankie x Hurricane? Ship it. Boco x Edward? DEFINITELY ship it. Y'all can keep your James x Edward and Gordon x Henry. They're all fine and dandy. But you can pry these rare pairs from my cold dead hands.🤣🤣🤣
