I don't know if you've talked about this already, but what kind of work does Yoltzin do on Sodor? Is she stationed anywhere specific or does she do a little bit of everything? What did she primarily pull when she was still in Mexico? Does she love or hate pulling anything specific e.g. animals, coal, etc. ?

I don't think I've ever talked about this!

Back at Mexico, her main job was to pull goods trains, mostly of rocks and whatever minerals got extracted at the mines (which consisted of limestone in its majority). She'd take them to the capital city of her State and sometimes (very rarely, really) would take other goods all the way to Veracruz Port to be exported. She hated the later with a passion

Eventually tho, it was set up so Yoltzin would take the mine workers to their jobs. She'd take the workers up to the mine every Monday at 5 am, and on Fridays she'd take them back at 9 pm. These were the only instances prior to Sodor where she'd be seen taking passengers

Rules changed once at Sodor. She still took mainly goods trains due to her strength comparing to that of Henry, but STH sometimes insist on her covering up for any engine that might break down with their passenger duties... Except for any fast trips, she's not particularly fast....

And pulling animals was surely something she never did before Sodor, so she's quite happy she got to experience that

Basically, Yoltzin is very fond of good trains of course, specially of mining sites (which usually lands her at the coal mines more often than not but that's another story), and she's less cranky when pulling them compared to passengers, but she's a really useful engine in the end, and she'll do any job she's asked to do!

... Well, except chickens. Those terrify her, never make her pull chickens for the love of everything

Question for my Star Wars people:

I watched The Phantom Menace for the first time yesterday, and during the pod-racing segment, I had a thought: is there not a Star Wars pod-racing game?

Cause if there isn't, I'm amazed no one's tried developing it

SHE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SAY GOODBYE

!!!

So having read Yoltzin's ref sheet, you mentioned she's not engine socialized and was fleeing from being scrapped; what is her relationship like with her driver? With the people around her? And for the engines, are there any specific characters you have in mind when it comes to interacting with Yoltzin? Because based on her history, my immediate thought was 'would she get along/empathize with Kevin, Oliver, and Douglas'

Her relationship with her driver (and fireman!) used to be really close: they were selected out of all the mine workers due to their abilities, which means they're the only ones who knew how to handle Yoltzin properly, which formed this relationship where they saw Yoltzin as their daughter and Yoltzin saw them as her parents! That's it, she was the whole mine workers' precious niece, their little heart! She was absolutely adored by both the mine workers and the nearby town, as she was, at certain extent, their own personal engine! They'd celebrate her "birthday" and include her in important celebrations, she was a symbol of the small town!

Sadly, when escaping, her crew wasn't allowed to follow. That night the boat left for Sodor, and that was the last time she'd ever see her crew alive.

On Sodor Yoltzin gets a new crew! It's just... They had a very rough start, and Yoltzin has some complicated feelings about them, but we'll have to see how their relationship evolves with time...

Now for other engines: firstly, we must remember that there used to be a language barrier, which greatly affected every single of Yoltzin's relationships with other engines and people

That said, despite her though exterior, she's quite the amicable engine! Kevin greatly reminds her of the children who used to live in the town near the mines, and they're siblings by technicality of having the same dad (Victor) but they're not very close. She'll converse with him just fine tho :3

As for Donald, Douglas and Oliver, she doesn't quite get along with them... Not for any conflict or anything, it's just that they're mere coworkers to her. But there's still a silent understanding between them. Something something, barely making it out alive, something something, understating the pain of leaving a life behind in order to persevere.

Now, you wanna know an engine she despises? That's Gordon. They have such similar personalities (proud, stubborn, would rather do certain jobs) that it just makes them clash whenever they're together, to the point they're practically growling at each other the second they're together. It's never a good idea to keep them together for this same reason...

But in general, Yoltzin has neutral-to-positive relationships with the engines! Or well, at least she does with the steamies, diesels are their own can of worms with this one...

[Reads first 2 paragraphs] Don't mind me, I'm gonna just gonna [bawling sfx]

Who do you think she got along with first besides Victor once the language thing got sorted? I feel like if someone showed genuine interest and asked her about Mexico, she'd happily share about the culture.

It's funny you mention Gordon because I do remember seeing one of your posts on how a mutual kinda got you into the idea of him and Yoltzin as an item; in that instance, what do you think would draw them to the other? What would have to happen for something like that to bloom in the first place?

Oh I forgot about the diesels! Yes, I take it she'd have a sour attitude towards Sodor's diesels... but I also wonder if it's possible she could develop a tentative friendship with some of the more easygoing diesels like Boco, Salty, and Rusty?

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

Trump’s Department of Education will now prioritize funding for meaningful learning and improving student outcomes instead of divisive ideologies and “woke propaganda.”

JK Rowling losing it over us asexuals is both her showing her entire ass (not that she wasn't before, but y'know) and an "old man yells at cloud" moment. Lady you're insane and you are showing it. Who fucking cares that aces and trans people exist?? We're cooler than you anyway.

Bot accounts and Real people with accounts.

I’m pretty sure the tumblr community is well aware of this problem and probably loads of other people have already made posts about this, so I’ll keep it brief.

So recently blogs like this keep appearing in my followers list (these are recent ones)

Now when you get a spam blogs or p*rn bots you’re supposed to blog them. But some these blogs are actual people who are new on tumblr and have the default icon, so you’re supposed to check before who block them. But here’s the problem…

some of these blogs don’t have anything. No posts, No description, No title. So you’re gonna automatically assume that these are spam and block them.

Now I hate fact that some of these blogs belong to actual people and I’ve been blocking and reporting on blogs like these for the past few days, and that they’re probably wondering why there being blocked or reported. ( sorry to the people who own blogs like these that I blocked you)

So a couple of tips for new blogs on this site,

1.You could change the title (a catchphrase, a favorite quote, a random sentence etc.) or type small description, or whatever random stuff you like!

2. You could change the your avator or icon (it be a picture of you, a cartoon, again it’s your choice do whatever)

3.If you’re not planning to frequently post stuff and just sign in to check out other people’s stuff, just put a put a post something like this just to show you’re new here.(again u can write down anything)

if you’re reading this and new to this website I hope you found these suggestions useful and should stop you from getting blocked immediately. Happy posting.

Transportation

*Monster Engines are the primary source of transport on the railway not just passengers but other important goods as well since there no rails they travel by regular dirt or stone roads through the island.*

Food

*The majority of the island's vegetation and meat is harvested at local farms, while other essential goods are imported from the harbors or the mainland. There are also dedicated farms specifically designed for both monster engines and humans. These specialized farms cater to the unique dietary needs of each group, helping to ensure a consistent and sufficient food supply for all inhabitants.*

Security

*For the residents on the island, electric-gated fences are installed around each neighborhood to prevent wandering engines from accidentally crossing into the sanctuary. The engines are equipped with tracking devices beneath their cabs and are continuously monitored to ensure they aren’t involved in any illegal activity. Additionally, troublesome trucks constantly patrol the railways to maintain security across the island. The island also enforces strict laws and penalties: anyone caught harming an engine could face a $5,000 fine or up to two years in jail.*

I'm only saying this for your sake, but objectively, it's not a smart idea to bring politics into normal hobbies. You might lose supporters of your blog just because of your political stance, and that would be terrible since you're so amazing!! It's only a suggestion, but I really reccomend not bringing politics into anything.
