One lone shunting diesel purred slowly into a yard. Trucks lined the sidings, murmuring and chuckling as he approached.
“Good moorrrning…” oozed an oily voice. “Pleased to meet you, Duck.”
The diesel’s eye twitched.
“Is that James? And Henry? And Gordon, too?” Sneered a second, much higher voice. “I am delighted to meet such famous engines.”
Diesel’s jaw hardened, both at the blatant mockery, and the mentions of a certain painfully brightly colored region.
“Hey, that was pretty good! Though I kinda figure Diesel would have a lower tone than that.”
“I don’t have the range for that. I can’t get my voice as low as you can.”
“What are you idiots doing?” Diesel finally lost what little patience he ever had, and rolled up alongside the two shunters - identical to him in every way except face and number.
“We’re practicing our ‘Devious Diesel’ impressions!” The two chorused in their horrible attempts of deep, scheming voices.
It was all Diesel could do not to snap. Was that what they thought of him? How was he the villain in all this?? Utterly ridiculous. It was all that damn pannier tank and his tricks. If not for him, Diesel would still be on Sodor, milling with the famous engines.
“I can’t say I’m familiar.” Diesel lied, trying to sound unimpressed.
“You aren’t familiar with the great works of Wilbert Awdry?” One shunter asked, sounding genuinely surprised.
Diesel tensed again. “I think I’ve heard of a children’s author by that name.” He put emphasis on ‘children’s author’ in an attempt to display his lack of interest in the subject matter.
“Oh. Well, he just introduced an engine based on one of us! He’s this really neat villain character who has this huge rivalry with-”
Diesel growled, and rolled away, having had more than enough of the “conversation”.
So Thomas basically calls Diesel 'useless' because he's a diesel, only to be proven RIGHT when Diesel drops the logs into the sea and then this just never gets touched again in the movie.
Yeah rich coming from the blue starbilling bastard who gets all the special specials only to f--king f--k em all the f--king f--k up like the absolute moron he is in this era.
The HiT era and Nitrogen era had their moments of being racist towards diesels just because like three or four of the ones in the show are jerks, but Misty Island Rescue is undoubtably one of, if not THE ugliest example of this...
The fact you feel sorry for Diesel of all characters says a lot about the writing quality...💀
Diesel being at the Christmas party in Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree is so funny. who invited him. it's like, "yeah you were a massive dick to us, wanna come to our Christmas party?"
long time no posting! i promise, i will continue posting on this blog soon but have diesel in That Dress because i think this BBM (Big Beautiful Man) deserves it :0-)
Duck and Diesel both stared at each other tensely. Despite the many years they knew each other, they still couldn't get along. Diesel's forked tongue flickered out of his mouth, and Duck's claws very slowly came out, the fur on his tail puffing up. But they remained seated with the knowledge of the consequences they'd both face if either decided to attempt anything. So the only thing either of them could do was have one single thought as they looked at each other;
