Out of curiosity, what made you decide Raph needed two dragons in the spitfire au? Also, is there an easy way to tell Crash and Bash apart? Thanks!

Knew this question was eventually coming (；ﾞﾟωﾟ) warning: long post

Ok story time, I see a lot of myself in Raph as a character. For the first half of my childhood I was the eldest. I was the roll model and figure my younger siblings looked up to or came to for guidance. Then in the later years of my childhood I got an older step sibling, suddenly I became a middle child. The dynamic of my family shifted to where I had grown up the eldest but then was sort of allowed to be myself and more free once I became a middle child. So in a way, I grew up understanding the two sides of looking up to an older sibling and what it feels like to be that older sibling.

When I first watched rottmnt I instantly felt a connection to Ralph’s character. An older sibling figure that dotes on his brothers but is also a lovable goofball. I understood his position in the family on a deeper level. Someone who wears the hat of both responsible sibling but also expressive idiot. I knew he was going to be someone in my au that his power would be shaped on that perceived position in the family.

The canon show doesn’t really dive into the origin of the mystic weapons or the “rules” around mystic magic with the boys. I think I’ve mentioned it somewhere else but the way I see their mystic abilities is that it’s an extension of themselves, a reflection of their power and character. So seeing how I view Raph as someone who holds himself responsible for his brothers but is also still running around doing stupid things with them, I wanted to reflect that duo mindset in his ninpo.

Sorry for the long post, hope this makes sense! (Here’s some Crash & Bash helpful pointers)

The Trainee Trio's visit on The Island Of Sodor took an unwelcome turn of events after a lazy signalman's negligence led poor Brewster to a head-on collision with Thomas The Tank Engine. Although Thomas' coaches Annie and Clarabel were thankfully empty, the damage done was quite horrendous. This will be an awkward story to tell Wilson and Koko once they're back on the rails...

Last year I came across one of CalleyFan's old tweets of his HO scale layout and I just had to draw this scene! XD

Always Learning

Here at Network Rail, we are always learning new things about how the railways work, and about new problems that can happen. For instance, recently I learned that when solar storms induce electrical currents in wires, they also induce currents in track circuits, making them think that there's a train there when there isn't. So, sometimes if your train is delayed by a signal failure, it's because of the sun. Previously, we had no idea this could happen, we just thought that either someone had stolen a train or there were ghost trains.

hi all, it's my first time posting one of my art products for sale and it's a digital download/printable postcard where all profits go towards the fundraiser of Palestinian artist Eman Hammad. since Gumroad does take at least a 10% processing fee, I encourage people to give to her fundraiser directly first and foremost, but every little bit helps. 💙 Her Fundraiser Postcard ($2)

Had to do with this, of course:

That was at less than 125mph.

...and this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the California HSR is over budget doing massive grade separation. Because Brightline trains have *killed* more than 100 people since going into service (who knows how many injured?). Don't get me wrong: I think Brightline is great! But at what point does it become sensible to spend a little extra to make things safer? California HSR is being built to achieve 220mph, a whole 100 mph faster than Brightline, and even the Phase I will be 2½ times longer than Brightline but target a schedule of arriving 1 hour quicker LA to SF than Brightline's Palm Beach to Orlando...
