TTTE Theory: Are James and Henry kindred spirits?

⚠️WARNING: This is my personal opinion and character analysis!⚠️

I watched the movie "Adventures Begins" not so long ago and I felt sorry for the two characters, Henry and James. Henry because of the tunnel scene, which is obvious. And James, firstly, because of the wooden brakes, which I didn't understand why he had them when all the other engines had cast-iron ones. And secondly: because of Gordon's bulling and Edward's inaction (I want to talk about this in a separate post).

So what am I talking about? I also thought not so long ago and realized that Henry and James are not as different as they seem at first glance. What do I mean by that? I have their personalities in the present tense and from the past.

Today's Henry looks like James from the past, yes, not much, but there are similarities, such as he often makes sad faces while mumbling like Henry. I know this can't be called their direct similarity, but it's an interesting detail.

And today's James looks like Henry from the past. This is shown very well in the episode "The Sad Story of Henry" when Henry talks about his paintwork, just like James would say about his.

So why am I saying all this? It seems to me that Henry and James could be best friends or even brothers because of such similarities, but the problem is that they don't know how to talk, what do I mean? I mean, they often bully each other and have no sympathy for each other, although they both probably understand what it's like when one of them gets into an accident, especially Henry with his severe anxiety. But instead of supporting each other, they prefer to mock each other, which is absolutely wrong.

What do you think about this? Write in the comments, I will be interested to know your opinion. And you can tell me where I'm wrong, and I'll understand.

And yes, would you mind if I write theories sometimes? :)

Henry in the Dark (Sodor Cats ver.)

⚠️Obscene language⚠️

It was a very busy day for the Sodor cats, especially for Henry, who was driving a chicken cart from the McColl's farm back to the Whispering Woods. Sometimes Sodor cats cooperate with humans to obtain food, drink, and sometimes even wool for warmth, provided that humans keep the secret about the existence of intelligent talking cats. One day, while Henry was about to leave the village, green paint fell from a passing truck directly onto the green cat and onto his cart, fortunately the paint did not touch the chicken.

– Oh, rats ... – Said the big cat out of concern for his health.

Without hesitation, he decided to continue on his way. Meanwhile, by the river, Percy and Thomas were playing as usual, they were testing their strength by attacking each other. James was watching them at the request of Lydia, Thomas' mother and the pack leader. The red young cat was ready to fall asleep out of boredom until he heard Henry's voice approaching.

– I'm back! How's my… – He didn't have time to finish, as James started laughing loudly at his appearance. Henry stands there and doesn't understand what's going on.

— Well, are you addicted to human bullshit again? — James teases.

— What's so funny?

— Dad, your whole head is green! — Percy interjected, trying not to laugh.

— What? — Asked Henry. He looked into the river and saw that his black and gray head was indeed green. He started laughing. – Really. Now I'm a completely green cat. Thomas, Percy, and James started laughing with him.

— Okay, guys, I'm going to take the chicken, and then I'm going to wash up. — Henry said before he left.

— Okay, just don't kill everyone with your head! — James joked after him.

— Alright!

When Henry returned to the pack, all the cats laughed at his appearance. He unloaded the chicken and went into the river to wash, but the paint on his head was not completely washed off.

— Oh, rats… I used almost all the yolks and couldn't get all the paint off my head... It looks like I'll have to repaint…

After a while, when Henry had repainted his fur in head, Lydia came up to him to tell him that he was patrolling tonight. Although reluctantly, he agreed. He was afraid to leave Percy alone all night, but Lydia reassured him that Edward would be watching him. Evening came, and Henry set off into the distance, away from the pack. Everything was fine until it got dark. Henry's green fur began to glow, which scared him a lot.

— How is this possible!? — The green cat said in a frightened voice. — Did I wash so badly!? I need to leave immediately, otherwise the predators will attack the pack because of me.

Henry going back to the pack. Along the way, he met James, who was returning to the pack after work.

— James! — The green cat shouted, approaching him.

When James turned his head towards Henry, because Henry was glowing, he mistook him for a ghost. The red cat screamed loudly and ran away. Henry stood in disbelief.

After a while, James came running to the pack in a panic, he even bumped into Lydia as he was running.

— Whoa, James, what happened? — The white cat asked in surprise, trying to calm James down.

— L-Lydia! I-I saw g-g-ghost! — The red cat is stuttering in fear.

— A ghost?

— Yes! It was burning with a green flame!

— The green flame?

— And the voice is so creepy… It was calling me... maybe to the afterlife.…

— James, let's you go to your den and go to sleep, and I'll go and find out what kind of green ghost it is. — The leader calmed the red cat down, took a branch and set it on fire with two stones.

— Be careful, Lydia!

— Don't worry, Ruby, I have experience in this. — She replied with a smile and left with a torch in her paw.

Meanwhile, Henry was still in a hurry to get home before the predators saw him.

— Do I really look like a ghost with that fur? — Henry asked himself.

Henry saw the light from the torch, and he exhales with relief, because the light from the fire, although partially, scares predators. He ran to the source of the light. — Edward? Is that you? — He shouted, coming closer.

Lydia was a little surprised by the green light approaching her, but she recognized Henry's voice. She decided to stop to find out who it was.

— Henry? Are you the green ghost? — Lydia giggled.

— James mistook me for a ghost after all.

— As you can see, yes. So, what happened to you? Why are you glowing?

— I don't know. It's probably the green paint that doused me from head to toe.

— I see. So we'll go back to the pack and repaint you so you don't scare anyone again.

They both started laughing.

— Thank you, Lydia.

Meanwhile. James can't sleep, the fear of that green ghost has not left him.

— James, there's no one here, go back to sleep! — Gordon was indignant.

— I can't sleep! What if this ghost comes here?!

— Seriously, James, you're acting like a kitten! I'm telling you again: Ghosts is not real!

But before Gordon has time to look around, the very green light that James was talking about is heading into the pack. All the cats screamed in fear, they hid in their dens. But suddenly they heard a familiar voice. It was Henry.

— Hello everyone!

Percy came out first.

— Dad? It's you? Were you that ghost? — Carefully the kitten asked his father.

— What the hell? — James protested.

— I'm sorry — Henry apologized.

— Henry was doused with glowing paint, so Victor will repaint him tomorrow morning.… Again. — Lydia giggled.

Lydia and Henry are laughing. The next morning, Henry was repainted. He didn't scare anyone again.

How do you eat your Ice pop?

I eat ice pops with A. I've seen people eat ice pops like C but when I do I it hurts my teeth and I end up like B.

I like both styles so I'm posting both black outlines and colored.

I was supposed to call it a popsicle in this post but I found out that it was a brand name so I resorted to ice pop instead.

[annathefenecfox]

It was warm summer weather in the Sodor Forest today. Edward, an old blue cat with the number 2 on a black fur in his neck, recently finished his last job, sat and washed until he heard Thomas in the bushes trying to sneak up on him unnoticeably. Edward pretended not to notice until he saw Gordon, a big blue cat with the number 4 on a black fur in his neck, returning from the woods with a cart with fish.

– So Thomas trying to sneak up again, right? – The big blue cat said softly.

– You see. – The blue old cat replied softly.

– No matter how hard he tries, it's only getting worse and worse.

– But just don't tell him that. I know he's bad at it, but I don't want him to stop trying.

A second later, Thomas jumps out of the bushes and falls right on top of Edward. Edward pretended to be scared.

– So? Did I scare you well, Edward? – The blue kitten asked, giggling.

– Very good, kit, good job!

But Gordon thinks otherwise.

– What a pitiful sight. – The big cat snorted.

– What? Why? – The kit was perplexed.

– All pack heard you, when you were in the bushes.

– Don't listen to him, Thomas, he's not good at sneaking up on himself, he's too big to hide. – The old cat teases.

– Well he's too noisy to sneak around. – The big guy replied irritably and goes about his business.

Thomas was not pleased with Gordon's words. Was he really that bad at sneaking?

– Edward, I really bad with this?

– Honestly, yes, but if you practice a lot, then you will succeed.

Edward's words calmed little Thomas, and he decided to listen to his advice. Today, the kitten trained hard, he also watched Percy, who hunted mice. The next day, Thomas headed to the river, where Gordon was relaxing with his wife Mavis, a yellow-striped cat. He moved forward, moving paw by paw, flattening himself on the cool ground. He carefully walked around the area with crisp, dry leaves and avoided a protruding branch that could give him away. He was almost there and was ready to jump, but instead of jumping, he sneezed loudly. Gordon and Mavis turned their heads sharply in Thomas' direction.

– Thomas? – The big blue cat asked in surprise. – What are you doing here?

–Hello, Thomas. – Gordon's wife Mavis greeted him politely.

–I… This… – The blue kitten stuttered.

– Подожди минутку. – Гордон начал что-то подозревать. – Ты что, собирался подкрасться ко мне незаметно?

– Well… Yes…

The big cat started laughing loudly.

– Very stealthy, kit, just like a snail running away.

– Gordon! – Mavis shouted.

– What? He's not very good at it, he's very clumsy. If he was as gray as James, he would be… Wait, what did I just say?

This was heard by James, a red cat with the number 5 on a black fur in his neck, who was sunbathing in the sun. He was insulted.

– That's exactly how no one insulted me!

– Sorry, James, that's not what I wanted to say.

– Well you a big as a boulder, how did people not notice you at all?

Gordon became indignant and started swearing with James. Mavis was very angry at her husband. And Thomas was very upset.

– Don't listen to Gordon, sweetheart, sooner or later you'll succeed, just don't give up. – Mavis reassured Thomas.

– But I almost touched him!

– I know, but everyone makes mistakes, and that's okay.

Thomas exhaled.

– I'll never be a good hunter…

– Well you ask your mum, she's the most experienced hunter in the pack, so I think she can teach you.

Thomas' mother was a white cat with the number 19 on a black fur in her neck and with a scar on her eye and a severed ear on the right side of her face named Lydia. She wasn't just a hunter, she was the leader of the pack. Thomas thought about it.

– Maybe you're right, Mavis. My mum knows very well about hunting.

– That what I mean to.

Thomas headed back to the pack and asked Lydia to teach him how to sneak up. Lydia taught him everything she knew. Explore the area, memorizing the best routes in the forest and every rustle and creak. Understand subtle changes in the wind, movement of shadows, obvious signs of a sleeping bird or a running mouse. Of course, Thomas failed, but he learned from his mistakes. Finally, the next day, after hard training, Thomas was ready. He went to the river where Gordon was resting, but now he was alone. He was sleeping soundly. This time, little Thomas was different. He moved with a newfound grace, his blue fur blending into the shadows. He held his breath and crept closer, his muscles tensing in readiness. He moved like a shadow, like a whisper, like a silent predator. He was right behind Gordon. He took one last silent step. Then he nudged Gordon with his nose. Gordon woke up abruptly and jumped straight into the water with a scream. Thomas started laughing loudly with pride.

– Thomas? – The big wet cat was surprised. – Are you crazy?!

– Yes, I am. – The kitten replied with a malicious smile.

James and Edward saw this. James was just basking in the sun, and Edward was just transporting water. James was laughing out loud.

– Wow, Thomas, you're doing so well, you're making a lot of progress. – The old cat praised, then went about his business.

James fell on his back laughing.

– Thanks, Edward. – Thomas thanked him, so he jumped on Gordon, who wanted to get out of the water, but because of Thomas he fell back again. – So, Gordon, am I good at sneaking around now?

– Yes, good, good, just let me finally get out of the water!

– Okey.

Now Thomas felt like a real hunter, and perhaps even a worthy heir.
