"coffeerocket" is the name me and a couple of friends had come to call Stephen and Glynn as a pairing and it's as real as it was even as far back as 2017 lmao

i'm glad people are finally catching onto seeing Stephen and Glynn's beautiful situationship (and appreciating the Ulfstead team more)

Knowing that Duck's theme is a waltz while Diesel's is influenced by tango reflects how "similar but different" they technically are but it's also very interesting because both dances require a partner but neither of them are able to work together, thus implying they would not be a suitable pair.

feeling a bit curious but since we are nearing 100 followers (that's a lot to me) i also wanted to ask what people find interesting about my character interpretations (any character, i just wanna know 🚶‍♂️)

Hey, wanna hear some unnecessary thoughts about Lemon from someone who’s watched Thomas?

Lemon mentions that the Momomon anime airs every Thursday at 9 AM after Thomas airs. But what specific Thomas show and season? I wonder. The short answer? Well, my closest guess is probably Thomas and Friends: Big World Big Adventures (aka “BWBA”) which is the 22nd - 24th seasons of Thomas. But more specifically, it may have been in its 23rd season airing in Japan during 2020.

From what I gather from the film’s adaptation of Lemon, he strikes me as someone who was a fan of the classic series of the model era (early season stuff, series 1-5) and grew up with it.  The CGI era however is complex with its history and he seems more of an on-and-off watcher of it, he still appreciates the Thomas series even if he doesn’t watch the newer series as much as he did as he was younger (and BWBA doesn’t have the same caliber and direction as the previous Thomas series)

In the novel, it’s very clear that Lemon has watched up until s7 of Thomas, which was in its model era in the 2000s. 

I think it tracks because even if it’s the CGI series, which is more modern and has a LOT of differences, I think Lemon would still be interested in watching it to some extent even if the newer stuff doesn’t hit as hard as the classic series he watched.

The long answer? If you’re a fuckin nerd and want to read I can indulge you.

A lot of this is just purely from my observation and my own take (and this is just silly so I really hope you know that).

Bullet Train started its production in October of 2020 - which I’m going to assume is when and where the movie takes place in because the majority was shot during that time - and incidentally, that same month Mattel had announced that Thomas was getting a brand new reboot called All Engines Go, which is a 2D animated production.

Thomas has a few distinctive mediums on television and it’s divided into the model series, CGI series and AEG, which is its own thing. Lemon obviously is shown to have grown up watching Thomas so he’s more versed in the model series and its characters.

Fun fact: In the novel, he mentions a few more characters who appear not only in early seasons but also season 7.

Hello, it seems you've found my train blog. I’m a general train enjoyer but more of a diesel guy. I like Maybach engines a lot. I tag my posts but I do them sparingly because I don’t want them getting too much attention or the wrong kind of attention. I don’t really care about pairings and fandom engagement puts me off. This is not an RP blog, so please do not expect interactions from me. I'm only here to have fun. Do NOT repost my work anywhere or use my art for personal use. If you have questions, please check my Q&A section linked above or send me an ask if something hasn't been answered. I don’t tolerate bigots. I block when necessary.
