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

If you absolutely had to add one CGI character to the NWR in the RWS, which one would it be?

So, I had an absolutely massive great big long thing planned out to explain just how hard this would be to answer, and then I remembered Glynn and Stephen.

These two are actually amazing as characters, and avoid so many of the pitfalls the other CGI characters have (like... having an actual identifiable character beyond 'nice'). And that's without mentioning just how fun they are when paired together! Better yet, because Glynn is based in the RWS, I can just say Stephen!

These two really do break the typical CGI mould of characters, particularly through the fact that they are different and memorable. No one remembers Stafford or Scruff, but we do remember Stephen telling Connor (I think it was Connor) about life in the early days and having the guts in a CGI episode to explicitly say that steam engines exploded. I miss episodes where engines could talk about darker topics. Stephen and Glynn both feel like more classic characters than they are - like what Duke could have become if he got a bigger role in the series.

Glynn and Stephen are honestly iconic, both apart and together. I'd have loved to see more of them interacting with each other and others. And RWS/classic era Glynn and Stephen would have been absolute savages, reading the other engines to filth.

Joe Mills reprises his role from the CGI series as Douglas in The Unlucky Tug's lastest episode of "Sodor's Finest," featuring the Scottish Twins!

I don't usually watch too much of Unlucky Tug's content, but there's some amazing voice acting in the cutscenes for this, so I highly recommend checking this out!

(Wow, out of all the Thomas characters, Donald and Douglas have been getting a lot of attention on my account so far - and rightfully so, they're awesome 😎👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿)

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.

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

I'm sorry you're feeling down, I wish you all the best and hope you feel better.

I don't really have anything to request, only that you draw something indulgent that makes you happy :)

Thank you for the kind words! I've taken this opportunity to draw my specialist one Henry.

Y'know what, fuck it. Welcome to-

✨DO YOU KNOW THIS THOMAS & FRIENDS CHARACTER?✨

A brand new game I invented because I'm bored and also curious. The name of the game is I'll be making polls (as long as I remember to) with a TTTE character that might not have been seen by people other than fans of the media due to the main characters overshadowing them in most fanworks and in the situation of a lot of merchandise, as most folks associate the series with just Thomas and barely go beyond that. So, for the first poll of the season...

DO YOU KNOW THIS THOMAS & FRIENDS CHARACTER:

Emily, the emerald engine

Her biography according to the wiki: Emily is an emerald tender engine who lives and works on the Island of Sodor, and is the North Western Railway's number 12 engine. She is the Island's official "safety engine" and has her own set of passenger coaches.

(Reblogs are greatly encouraged and appreciated for a larger sample size! I am trying my hardest to push this poll towards non fans of the series!)

lmoa thought this would be funny

Ougghh I am thinking about them SO MUCH!!!!!! My beloved little engines and other various machines.

Random CGI AU infodumping ig??

Anyways Jenny Packard is like one of the first people to manage to somehow mother an entire group of machines. The construction crew are her babies at this point and she will go to actual war for them. One of them accidentally called her mom a while back and she IMMEDIATELY accepted this, so eventually all of the construction machines started calling her variations of mom and she's perfectly okay with it. She shocks many people when she says "Oh, I have children of my own, lovely ones they are!" and then proceeds to tell them about her daughter Darcy who can bore tunnels into massive chunks of rock.

I think Hiro and Yong Bao are good friends even if they've only met a few times (at Thomas' request). They both have a lot of wisdom to share and I'm sure they'd love swapping tales with each other while riding the rails. Kenji likes Yong Bao a lot but he's a little shy and has trouble holding proper conversations with him. Yong Bao is such a special engine, he's friends with a tiger! He's a tiny bit intimidating to Kenji. Hiro tries to help the young bullet get more comfortable talking to others, he understands how hard it can be being new.

Sonny has a bit of trauma related to his past owners. He'd cost them a lot of money to purchase, which only furthered their desire to steal. And at first it seemed lovely to be owned by just a couple men who would take him wherever with no real constraints other than staying on the rails, that's the kind of freedom very few engines can dream of! But then it got to the point where he was trapped. When you're sold off you're already trapped by the legalities, but Sonny wasn't just held down by paperwork. He was held down by threats and the most harm a couple of thieves could cause an engine without causing actual damage that would make him stop working. And he was so afraid he'd be scrapped after helping his previous owners attempt the thefts of projects at the fair, but he was given a second chance and he managed to prove himself. He doesn't hang around other engines much even if they do trust him now, because he feels afraid to trust someone again, even another engine. Nia, Thomas, and Rebecca are part of the small few he does enjoy the company of. They're incredibly kind and he's learned their kindness is real.

Hey, wanna hear some unnecessary thoughts about Lemon from someone who’s watched Thomas?

Lemon mentions that the Momomon anime airs every Thursday at 9 AM after Thomas airs. But what specific Thomas show and season? I wonder. The short answer? Well, my closest guess is probably Thomas and Friends: Big World Big Adventures (aka “BWBA”) which is the 22nd - 24th seasons of Thomas. But more specifically, it may have been in its 23rd season airing in Japan during 2020.

From what I gather from the film’s adaptation of Lemon, he strikes me as someone who was a fan of the classic series of the model era (early season stuff, series 1-5) and grew up with it.  The CGI era however is complex with its history and he seems more of an on-and-off watcher of it, he still appreciates the Thomas series even if he doesn’t watch the newer series as much as he did as he was younger (and BWBA doesn’t have the same caliber and direction as the previous Thomas series)

In the novel, it’s very clear that Lemon has watched up until s7 of Thomas, which was in its model era in the 2000s. 

I think it tracks because even if it’s the CGI series, which is more modern and has a LOT of differences, I think Lemon would still be interested in watching it to some extent even if the newer stuff doesn’t hit as hard as the classic series he watched.

The long answer? If you’re a fuckin nerd and want to read I can indulge you.

A lot of this is just purely from my observation and my own take (and this is just silly so I really hope you know that).

Bullet Train started its production in October of 2020 - which I’m going to assume is when and where the movie takes place in because the majority was shot during that time - and incidentally, that same month Mattel had announced that Thomas was getting a brand new reboot called All Engines Go, which is a 2D animated production.

Thomas has a few distinctive mediums on television and it’s divided into the model series, CGI series and AEG, which is its own thing. Lemon obviously is shown to have grown up watching Thomas so he’s more versed in the model series and its characters.

Fun fact: In the novel, he mentions a few more characters who appear not only in early seasons but also season 7.

Anything after Hero Of The Rails I don't count canon to the model series.
