#ttte season 8

Season 8 has some good lines tbh

[theflyingkipper]

a short crappy essay about emily

The writing of girl characters in TTTE genuinely infuriates me. There’s a lot of girl characters who were done absolutely dirty, but it always comes back to Emily for me.

Emily had agency and attitude and purpose in S8-12 and it was erased in favor of a “hi. I’m nice. Im the girl character” nothing one-note personality. What do we know about post HiT era Emily? (And honestly, S7 Emily too. Her introduction is kind of weak in my opinion). She wants to help out. She’s safety oriented. She’s… I don’t know. You could replace her with Rosie or Rebecca or whoever in the cgi episodes where she’s driving the story, and nothing would change. I can’t name any major differences between Emily post-rewrite and Rosie in her entire tenure. Aside from how they’re introduced to Thomas and interact with him, really… which sucks. They don’t have major differences in characterizations outside interacting with a male lead. 

AND the worst part is that there are moments where you can SEE they were crafting bold, interesting girl characters and they were either completely sanitized or forgotten about. Molly has a very particular basis. It's not a flashy type where the engine’s basis is the center of the character’s entire personality/marketing/etc (Mighty Mac and Hank come to mind). It feels clear to me that Molly was going to be more important. And then… she wasn’t. She appeared like 3 times, said nearly nothing and never appeared again. I wish I lived in a world where Emily kept her bossy personality and had this contrasted by Molly’s shyness and timidity. 

In my perfect world, Emily is bossy and important, and has some complexes about not needing help or knowing more than others. She’s intelligent and rambunctious, feeling like she’s made for more than the fast express duties that she was designed for. She wants to be involved and get dirty. (Which is a sentiment that I think a lot of young girls can relate to!) Maybe this causes other engines to view her as childish, but we know it's because even if she’s an old design- she has youthful zeal. I think that's a compelling personality and character to make from a Stirling Single, rather than just making another “old wise sage” character (we’ve got plenty of those and in different flavors!) An old engine that's hard to register as “old” at all, though not like Edward, she reads like this because she’s childish and immature- Someone immature, but in a distinct flavor of immature than Percy or Gordon. This Emily has so much room to bounce off other characters, and she does. The way she acts in Respect for Gordon comes to mind. Emily’s bossiness brings a much needed shakeup to the monotony of seasons 8-12. 

In addition, big, snooty, important characters are a staple of TTTE, but it's an archetype almost exclusively reserved for male characters. You could make an argument that Daisy and Elizabeth support these, but I think they’re different (or underdeveloped) enough not to fit this. Emily is the exception here. I think it's why she’s remembered so well as the female TTTE character that immediately comes to mind. Emily could be great, and she was great.

I was originally going to dump Season 12 but I'll be leaving that as its own post. I love these two so much. Really wish we'd gotten more of these two interacting in CGI. :'D A good chunk of these images are upscaled. (And by upscaled, I mean I used Krita to resize cropped images.)

Thomas and Friends S23 Ep8: Thomas make a Mistake

Thomas not one but multiple mistakes during this episode, so much so that you could even say that Thomas is a mistake. An episode that you could easily mistake for being from 13-16.

Drawing Challenge (Day 8/30)

Guess which season of TTTE we are watching this evening...

(Also I took @togetherness23's advice about a page full of circles/ovals. When I first read it I groaned and said "ugh, expressions"... then realized maybe that was a Clue that I should do that exercise a WHOLE LOT.)

[mean-scarlet-deceiver]

"Squeak, Rattle, and Roll" is clearly one of the highlights of S8.

At the same time I think the Fat Controller should be concerned that two of his, so help me, "Steam Team" were absolutely 100% convinced that he was about to send them to the scrapyard. Within the same season.

While he's at it, he appears to have a third engine who can't seem to break 5 mph, plus the coaches are getting the hell bashed out of them on a regular basis.

So, like. Topham. Get it together. Your railway is kinda in shambles, man.

[jupiter-bringer-of-jollity]

bae ; The catchphrase of troglodytes.

Thomas The Tank Engine Episodes Parody Idea

This is my personal idea of modifying TTTE episodes to use cartoon and anime characters. If the series is ever finished, it would be called "Thomas The Tank Engine Meets Everyone". Think it's stupid? That's fine, i respect your opinion. Just don't get angry with me. In each episode, a character from another series would appear in it and play the role of whatever character that starred in the original episode and matches their personality the best. For example, a plot for the 8th season of this series would based off the season 8 thomas episode "henry and the wishing tree". Lance from voltron is apparently Cuban, and probably misses his home on earth. In the original thomas episode, henry thinks that a wishing tree will cause him to have good luck while doing his jobs. In my version, it would be something along the lines of "lance visits cuba again and finds a palm tree that he thinks causes his wishes to come true so he keeps going back to it until he has bad luck and learns his lesson" So how do you think this would work out if i decided to make it into an actual fanfiction series?
