#IRL trains

[kidlit-queen-competition]

op sorry for my piss on the poor reading comprehension but when u said "trains came from the mines" in that post i thought we just like. found them down there.

Oh yeah nah that's how it happened. In our hubris we dug too deep and found beasts of fire and iron, you know how it is.

"Heavy Harry looks like its about to go postal"

So goes one of the comments under this cartoon by John Draper for the SAR 520 Restoration SteamRanger group.

Going postal would not be too out of character for Heavy Harry, he is very easily angered; '01 for her part looks incredibly outraged, like actually personally offended.

For her part, R761 just looks confused as hell.

As a Victorian gunzel I had a good laugh, just cause seeing my bitter boy in a cartoon, even in a sardonic one is always a hoot. I appreciate the backhanded acknowledgement of both Harry and the Rs being representative of our state's flagship locos alongside '01. It hits just right.

I gotta say, this is one of the strangest comments I have ever seen:

Except that the SAR 520 class has a very strong resemblance to the Pennsylvania Railroad T-1 Class, reflecting SAR Commissioner's William Webb's and CME Fred Hugh Harrison's penchant for American locomotive design and...

...and...

...and...

Traintober day 19, 20, and 21: Revolutionary, Live Wire, and Roots.

V140 0001 [or just V] one of the oldest diesel engines that I could find, with wires inside and talking to a young glory.

Busy, busy! I got a whole train weekend vacation coming up! Okay, so tomorrow is a special day at the miniature railway where I volunteer at, we're having a special event going on so that means we'll be running night trains! We're gonna be open from I think 11am to 10pm, with it ironically enough being in the middle of a heatwave as we watch summer supposed to be dying off LOL. Then after that on labour day, I'll be going to the Newport railway workshops! I'll get to see more of the big boys in person! Which means more pictures! And this time I'll be sure to get a few more video's in, it'll be grate! Idk if they'll steam any of the engines up... propably not since it'll be close to the 40s tomorrow (thats 104*F for those who read farienhieght).

Anywho! Hot day with hot trains! I'm probably gonna come to uni the next day with a sunburn though 😅, wish me luck! Or comment you wanna see me look like an ugly prawn. Vote now!

DAY OUT WITH THOMAS PUFFING BILLY

Was very underwhelming, a post ⬇️⬇️⬇️

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I was going to the day out with Thomas event at puffing Billy today! And honestly I'll start off with saying it was good, but not exactly what they promised.

To start, 'James' was supposed to be the leading engine taking us on our 40 minute trip. 20 there and back. I was actually surprised to see it was actually just puffing Billy himself on his normal line with his usual faceplate. Unless you had the front or back carriage, you couldn't see the engine at all. And we got one of the middle ones. :'^)

Obviously the little kiddies couldn't care less but it made me go MMMmm something doesn't add up here. Still, puffing Billy is an absolutely fantastic engine and it was great to see him pull and then take us backwards. Going over the bridge was probably my favourite part of the whole day.

Thomas was completely stagnant for the whole day. I knew this was the case as the website and event detailed that he wouldn't be pulling. This made a lot of families and children upset so they intercommed that 'Thomas was having some problems and can't take them right now' was pretty funny

Oh god

They played the entire all engines go sing-alongs on speakers THE WHOLE TIME. No rws media rep, no tvs rep, just all engines go. If you're a fan of it you'd love it but it was painful.

WHERE'S DIESEL?????

Oh.

There he is??? In a poster???? I might've missed him if he was there earlier in the day but they never specified if he was going to be around all the time or not. Or PHYSICAL?? HAHDGSHSH

Sir Topham- uhhhh let's not talk about topham. I brought Toby to see him but honestly I think Toby would get extreme whiplash and cry

THEY MISNAMED MY MAN BERTIE

???? How dare you ??

Scrimbly bimblos 💗💗💗 they had a photo opportunity line but I just walked to the side to get photos of these trucks

Some photos of me in my custom handmade skirt and hair bow! Also toby

And finally! The man the myth the legend, THOVIS

He was cute I won't deny it but part of me wishes he was pulling the train. Speaking of the train I wanted to commit throw child off carriage one just kept screaming and random inputs and I was done

SO ALL IN ALL, not bad! But not terrific either. I'd like to go on one of the other versions of this day in a different country it might be better. They didn't even have the dowt wooden railway Thomas. Just four characters from the original series and that was it.

if anyone needs help identifying things that can become moral scrupulosity OCD obsessions/compulsions, heres a list of some i've experienced:

rereading your posts/texts over and over

checking your notes and/or followers list frequently to "make sure" bad actors aren't interacting with you

checking OP's blog before interacting with posts

compulsively opening a social media tab to look at your notifs and then closing it, over and over

fearing ways that things you say/do (or don't do) could be taken in bad faith. being anxious that your words/actions will be misconstrued as morally wrong, bigoted, rude, or aggressive

feeling guilty or obsessing over whether you should or shouldn't have reblogged a post

feeling like you aren't "allowed" to disengage from online discourse or unfollow people who post it

fearing you're being stalked, talked about, or called out behind your back. fearing you'll never be forgiven and that people might even celebrate your disappearance or death, even though you havent done anything wrong

searching your own name/username to see if anyone is actually talking about you

imagining defenses you would make against nonexistent heinous accusations or arguments against you, to prove that you didnt do it

feeling like you have to roll over and become a doormat when others are cruel to you, because it could cause strife if you do anything other than grovel or apologize

having trouble enforcing your own boundaries out of fear that they are somehow "wrong" or unethical

ending up surrounded by people who have all the "right opinions" but are super mean and unpleasant, and make you feel like you have to walk on eggshells

fearing that just HAVING moral ocd makes you a bad person somehow (for example, i often fear that having moral ocd is somehow pushing a 'stranger danger' or misanthropist agenda, even though i actually have a lot of faith in my fellow humans)

some of these bullet points are not inherently bad on their own, but if you find yourself having this kind of anxiety very often, that's not normal, and it's time to get offline or even seek professional help if it's impacting your life

this list is catered to how online culture influences moral scrupulosity, it is not indicative of how everybody's moral scrupulosity functions, and it is not exhaustive

you're so outside you should come inside now i think

im in my dentists waiting room now, am i safe here?

[becca-e-barnes]

I’m literally drooling over the thought of sensitive Bucky whimpering and whining while fucking your tits and thighs he’s so pathetic and needy all he wants is to make you feel good and to fill you with his cum even if it overstimulates him

Okay, tit fucking is great and all but thigh fucking is SO underrated in my humble opinion. Could just be the fact I've got a small chest though lmao

It's so fun when you're already really into it and the insides of your thighs are all slick. I feel like Bucky would lose it, getting to see your face and look in your eyes and enjoy your body.

It's a nice one to do while laid on your side, facing each other. Although the angle isn't quite right for him to slip inside you, it's fun to explore the other ways your bodies can steal pleasure from one another.

"This isn't going to work, sweetheart." You can't help but laugh, having already tried everything you can think of to make the height difference work. There's no way to keep this romantic and intimate in that position because there's just no chance of aligning your bodies properly to allow him to press inside you.

"Maybe not. But it feels nice anyway." His eyes flutter shut, gliding his dick over the smooth, soft, warm insides of your thighs, encouraged by how slick and easy your arousal makes the movement.

You adjust yourself to bring your other thigh on top of his length, closing him in on both sides.

You're wet enough that friction doesn't impede his movement too much and there's something oddly romantic about it. Maybe it's his hand smoothing the back of your head or his other hand up your back, pulling your body closer to his.

It's so intimate, watching his face as he whines your name, rutting senselessly against your thighs. The little flush to his cheeks is beautiful and you can't resist kissing the thin sheen of sweat on his forehead. The thick duvet on top of you both, coupled with your combined body heat means the room is far hotter than you'd planned.

You take a second to reach between your bodies, spreading your wet folds and readjusting his length, letting him drag his cock against your neglected clit with each stroke and oh, that's pretty mind-blowing.

"O-oh my God." He whines, desperately fucking himself against your wet cunt, rather than into it. It's a different kind of pleasure to being inside you and while they're not comparable sensations, it doesn't stop this from feeling fantastic.

"Fuck, that's good." You groan, rolling your hips to meet his. Your fingers dip between you once more, gathering some of your slick arousal, using it to glide your fingertips over the underside of his shaft and over his balls.

"Holy shit, that's - fuck." Bucky's hardly got a coherent thought left in his head. He's closed in on both sides by your wet, soft thighs and now your fingers are giving him a different sensation underneath while pressing him against your soaked sex.

"I know, baby. Feels good, doesn't it?" Your fingertips trail lightly back and forth over the underside of his shaft, focusing on the inch or so beneath the tip.

"I can't... I need to cum." He groans, thrusting frantically, clinging to your body to keep you close. Within a few seconds, you feel his dick pulse under your fingertips, his cum coating the inside of your thighs in hot, thick, messy spurts.

He doesn't waste a second, kissing your forehead before kissing your neck and whispering "Good girl. Now let me watch you get yourself off with my cum on your fingertips."

I've been watching a train show thing and I thought these looked cool.

[jayde-jots]

I went to a miniature railway! I couldn't take many photos because my phone storage was at max T3T.

But still a nice day, and it's a place closer to home I can volunteer at, and even drive the trains!

[humming-pokemon-helpers]

I know a lot of trainers clean their Pokémon off between battles, but remember to keep an eye out on yourself too! After every battle, it can help to do a check for powders, liquids, and small objects like shards of metal or stingers that might injure or harm you if left unchecked.

For example, I just found a stray Leech Seed in my fur! No wonder I’ve been so tired today.
