#are loveable little shits💗💗

[zpxz]

Ok uhm so I finished the piece..

[trainpalsforthawin]

Tomás, or TUGS if someone already got to the Engines lol

TY for asking !!! sorry that my blorbo gets a whole paragraph but everyone else gets a couple of sentences LOL

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most):

Thomas of course, obviously, this was the expected answer. I LOVE HIM OKAY??!!? We KNOW this. ok i wanted to write a giant paragraph about how much i love his character for a lot of reasons,, okay mabye i will

idk theres just smth about how he’s so seemingly simple at first glance and impression, like how complex can THOMAS the TRAIN be. but oh my god i was mistaken.. NAW. to ME personally he is just so perfect. i love his character development and how he becomes more humble after we first saw him being like That seasons 1-2. However.. when he’s written well, he still retains that cheekiness that makes him so loveable. (and even still when he was a little shit back then.. the fact that this childrens show protag was just dishing out snarkiness left and right.. LMFAO??) thats when he’s his best and im angry at how distorted he became just to be seen as a better children’s show protag. like no that just made him more bland and at worse times, r…racist? you know? especially with diesel which is infuriating. BUT that is not my thomas. MY thomas is from the best era of the show that understands him, and when they do, he’s actually wonderful and i uhhh Adore him so much okay i need to stop talking

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped):

Percy!! hes the cutest 🥺💗💗 one of the characters i half-kin.. i always ID with the ditsy happy go lucky one in a cast of characters LOL but yeah hes precious and so funny.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave):

stepney !!!! hes such a quaint little guy and he’s apart of this sort of overarching story where an engine saves another from scrap that goes like.. (edward saves trevor -> douglas saves oliver -> rusty saves stepney) :’) <3

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week):

i have Several hehehe, mostly from CGI era. Hiro and Gator (both such nice older gentlemen with nice backstories), Skiff and Phillip, (BABY BOYS!!), Ashima and Gina (BAD BITCHES)

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave):

DIESEL!! i blame @smirked-with-triumph for opening my eyes /pos. he’s so misunderstood im mad about it… he’s not 100% malicious he’s just coded ND and i get it man. like yeah at first you’d want to see him as the designated villain character but cmon he cant help being a diesel yknow?? its like. WHY is he like that. think abt it… also . also oh my god remember “diesel looked hurt” LIKE??? THAT WORDING? crying sobbing

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason):

James.  yes i am aware that he can be interpreted that omgg he has an inferiority complex that he hides with being arrogant about his paintwork and he wants to be like one of the bigger engines wahwahh. BUT STILL i think as an individual he is annoying. Sorry!! I do think he’s FUN and FUNNY to watch and to write for. but i couldn’t get along with him easily.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell):

surprisingly not James, i think he’s redeemable and i believe in him.. but I would absolutely send Spencer to hell for trying to get Hiro scrapped FUCK That guy. fuck you Spencer go to superhell now

“Those last few years, when we were in that house together…there were moments when it felt like I could have died and he wouldn’t have cared. And if he’s just a heartless bastard then it’s not personal you know? But if he isn’t…if he’s capable of loving someone…”

And suddenly Remus understands. “Then why couldn’t he love you?”

i just wanted to say that i’ve never resonated with a book and a quote as much as i have with this one. it’s sort of one of the reasons i love reading marauders era fics so much because i can relate to Sirius on such a deep level that reading some fics feels like therapy sometimes (i’ve never really met anyone who can relate to that but i’m very serious about it).

anyway this made me cry so much reading it for the first time (and still a little bit even now) because he’s so right. and you’re so right. and i can never know if you’ve felt like this before snd that’s why you can write about it or if you’re just really good at inserting yourself into a character.

but if you (or anyone else here) understands this feeling then i’m so so sorry. it’s so shitty. and it’s so confusing, and no one deserves this. but this is a hard thing to come to terms with. if someone is capable of loving other people and not you, you automatically think there’s something wrong with you. but there isn’t. and you’re loveable. i think sirius needs to hear that a lot and i think people like him need to hear that a lot too. because it’s hard sometimes, feelings are hard and i think people who resonate with this one need so many hugs and so much love.

anyway i’m sorry for rambling. i really just want to say you thank you for creating a space that makes me feel safe and feel comforted, i know you’ve gotten a bit of shit recently, but i really hope you know that there are people like me who read choices and felt like they’d just been given a big hug (even tho it literally tore us apart as well) 💗

Hello lovely!

Let me just start by saying how much I appreciate this message and how much getting things like this really means to me. Reading has always been a way for me to come to terms with, and work through, the things that have happened in my life and there are many books and fics out there that have helped me in really profound ways so the idea that Choices could do that for someone else is incredibly meaningful to me. I relate a lot to Sirius and I think you are absolutely right that he is someone who needs to be told that he is loved and who will look for that validation in any form and any place he can find it. I always think the thing for Sirius is that he has to come to terms with the fact that his parents wanted a child. Wanted a son. They just didn't want him. Which is a very specific kind of rejection and I think when he finds out that Regulus is with James, in a way, it's a similar thing. That Regulus could love someone he just couldn't love Sirius. In any case, thank you so much for this message! It was truly lovely to read <3
