Media: You're sixteen! Ready to consume mature media?

Me: No thanks.

Media: What?

Me: I'm content with this.

Media: ... An animated show about talking trains?

Me: Yes.

Media: ... An animated show with human animal rescuers?

Me: Yes.

Media: Another animated show with animal animal rescuers?!

Me: YES.

Media: A SHOW ABOUT TALKING TOOLS-?!

Me: Hush, you're gonna give yourself an aneurysm.

It absolutely baffles me that as an Edward’s fan I’m mostly friends with JAMES’S FANS

"Evelyn, Evelyn

Why do we bother to stay?

Why are you running away?

Don’t you feel like severing?

Everything’s just come together at last

It’s broken, I don’t want to play."

Did I rewatch the Great Race instead of continuing the video I've been working on for the past few weeks? Yes. Yes I did.

James: Edward and I had a late night train so we decided to spend the night in the bunkhouse.

James: sometime during the night, Edward had a nightmare involving snakes attacking him so he started thrashing for hours trying to get the snakes off of him until he finally woke up.

James: I had the misfortune of sleeping in the bottom bunk bed while he was thrashing in his sleep, the whole bed was shaking and I thought it was going to collapse on me.

James: I should’ve heeded BoCo’s warning about sleeping in the same room with Edward. When BoCo told me that Edward was a restless sleeper I thought he was talking about the “getting up twenty times in one hour to go pee because old man bladder”, not “almost destroys the entire bunkbed because a snake was attacking him in his dreams”

Edward: it was a very big snake.

At least 20, although not all are powered locmotives, as some are dummy units, basically rolling shells made to look like an engine.

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.

Having the same birthday as another (and more popular) student isn't rly the best..

Also, other that one teacher, nobody at school remembered it was my birthday, not even my friends, not until I reminded them, which was.. quite saddening,

But when I learnt that that one teacher actually remembered I sOBBed in front of him-

Shout out to Mr G ✨
