*Breaks into your house to stare wistfully out the window* Do you ever think that CTHenry is, at least by some perceptions, a corpse being kept alive by gold dust and the whimsy of a goddess whose motives are unknown? I do. *Puffs on bubble pipe* Anyway. I'm still holding out hope for a happy ending for our Miserable Train Gays. Iram gentlemen. Have a good day 💗

out of sight, out of mind

hi! i saw you had an interest in gwr halls, i also had an oc interpretation of maindy (twinning!) i'd love to hear your perspective on how the halls fit into the living steam universe 🥺 i think a lot about the barry scrapyard

hi!!! yes, i have a bunch of halls in my OC lineup heheh. it's super cool you have a maindy as well- she'd so fascinating to me!

these are my Four halls- of my 20 (20!!) OC interps, somehow halls take up four spaces. because i love them. <3. thank you so much for your interest in my OCs- it's so nice to have an ask about them!!

i'm going to put some more information on each of them and some rambling under the cut!

pitch is Rude! she hates her life so decides to make that everyone else’s problem. she has specific beef with witherslack, and absolutely hates the guy, but she doesn't really get along with anyone. well, not any more. her and maindy were as close as anything- maindy was the only engine that pitch let through her walls, mostly when they were in barry together. they had nothing to do but talk, so they talked and they talked and pitch was kind of opening up in a way she never had to anyone. she was kind to maindy in a way she hadn't really been kind to any engine before- she's a smart cookie and was always more focused on just getting jobs done than making friends, so didn't have any close connections.

when maindy was purchased for 'repurposing' into a saint class, pitch was absolutely horrified. she tried so hard to take her place, to save her sister, anything, but it didn't work. pitch was preserved properly, after twenty years in barry, and maindy was gone. those last years in barry without maindy made her even colder and icier than she had ever been, and she tries her hardest to be left alone now that she is preserved. interestingly, the only engine she seems to be able to speak kindly with now is lady of legend- maindy made her promise she wouldn't be unkind to the engine made from her parts, and that she wouldn't blame legend for anything, so pitch tries her hardest to honour that promise.

maindy was an engine with an ability to see the true good in other engines. she would always stand up for those she thought needed it- and would try to get through to engines that she could see some good in, like her sister pitch. had great social awareness and was an excellent communicator. she always put others first and was absolutely terrified of the future, as hard as she tried to not show it.

heidi is a no nonsense, direct and upfront engine that really tries their hardest to be kind as well. they are sweet but really will take no prisoners- there is nothing they dislike more than engines who just are Rude and Unkind for seemingly no good reason. interestingly, they are absolutely BESTIES with witherslack, who can come across as a bit rude and unkind- but he simply has terribly impulse control and gets overexcited and verbal very easily, so heidi puts up with him easily. they don't, however, get along very well with pitch despite best attempts- they were relatively close with maindy when they were younger and cannot understand why pitch still seems so torn up about her death. they clash personalities.

witherslack is as dynamic as an engine can get- he's dramatic and emotional and absolutely loves interaction with other engines, whether they like the interaction back or not. he thinks he has a fun little rivalry going on with pitch and it mostly unaware that she actually just really dislikes him. he's got no impulse control and isn't great at regulating his emotions even when he feels them so intensely, which can often lead to him coming across as rude or abrasive when he's just trying to have a nice conversation. he gets along really well with the other engines at the great central railway- after spending time with him, it's really quite easy to see the good in his heart.
