Since we see him every now and then, what is Ryan like in Casa Tidmouth?

ryan works at the harwick branchline with daisy. in the secret of the lost treasure and misty island rescue arcs, ryan is the bystander to thomas' adventures that lead up to his fight with sailor john and skiff, eventually adding to the number of supporting characters that got dragged into both the mystery surrounding the gold dust and the mess thomas has left on sodor. after sailor john got arrested and thomas went missing, ryan helped thomas' friends look for his whereabouts while also being the key witness to sailor john's mad ramblings about "lady of the legend" and his motives for almost blowing up the island. ryan never asked for any of this but because he likes thomas and knows info that other people don't, he just HAS to step in

outside of the plot-heavy stuff, ryan's one of the kinder sudrian railway workers compared to his weirdo coworkers. he considers daisy and thomas to be his closest friends despite the former having the tendency to push her workloads onto him in the past and the latter being a bit standoffish despite ryan's attempts at hospitality.

ryan's extended family, on the other hand...

ryan is connected to the gresleys through his mother. his mother is the daughter of joseph gresley I (the gresleys’ grandfather), so he’s the cousin of gordon, scott, spencer, and mallard. he doesn’t talk to his cousins often ever since he’s a teenager because they’re nutjobs who mostly care about themselves and ryan has self-respect and values his sanity

unlike most his cousins who has the power of hater-ism coursing through their veins, ryan is a perfectly normal man who cares about his friends. he talks about his issues directly instead of letting it simmer. he sometimes have drinks with daisy and thomas after work. he used to have trouble articulating his more “negative” feelings and driving his opinion, but he’s doing better lately. he wants to maintain peace by being kind to others, which makes him prone to being dragged into any weird business his cousins have whenever they have the chance.

whenever holiday season is around the corner, ryan knows exactly what to expect. scott, his most famous cousin, the only one who still GAF about tightening what’s left of the gresleys together, will ask him to come over for dinner with his cousins (his charisma stat is maxed out). ryan can’t refuse because scott will pull excuses like “it’s just once a year” or “there's a dog” and ryan doesn’t have anything else to do. the family party will start off normal, then when mallard brings out the wine (provocateur!!!) things go south. gordon and spencer would badmouth each other about each other's secrets/fails, they get into a fight, scott tries to calm them down, ryan frowns at the disinterested mallard, sighs, goes outside to the nearest telephone booth to call daisy and ask her to pick him up. at this point it’s comical

ryan’s really the opposite of his cousins, from clothing to backstory. when designing him, I took the key components of his cousins’ designs and invert them. his cousins dress lavishly – big coats and suits, but ryan just rolls up his sleeves and dons a vest. his cousins’ haistyles are combed back, gelled, etc, while ryan’s hair goes everywhere (parted bangs show hairline). most of his cousins have horrific trauma related to death and loss from their childhood, while ryan’s just a city boy who grew up with nothing eventful in his life (except attending his cousins’ funerals). he doesn’t even inherit the gresley surname and is oblivious to most of the gossips surrounding or is inside the gresley family.

ryan is his own person who gets thrown around like a volleyball a lot, but he still has a good heart. one can consider ryan to be what any of his cousins would’ve ended up like if they had normal upbringings. who am I kidding? lol

I love Ken but he would absolutely see that waking up early for work stresses you out so as a surprise he’d turn off your alarm so you could sleep in

No he wouldn’t call in to your work and yes you’d absolutely get in trouble for a no-call-no-show

why do you love spurs so much?

because of this:

this club was founded by schoolboys who just wanted to play football. because in the end that’s what football is about: friendship & camaraderie & community. the landscape of this sport has changed over the years but from then till now, spurs has always been about kids wanting to play football together. 🤍

Barbie (2023)

Allan’s gaze is a symphony of sadness. How has Michael Cera not aged a day since Scott Pilgrim vs the World? Ageless to is his puppy-dog ennui which he channels so effortlessly. The fact that he’s tertiary at most but still worthy of mention speaks to just how stacked the casting of Barbie was. All of our Barbies and Kens are ostensibly the same, and yet they are all infectiously fun to watch. President Barbie is just happy to be there, Simu Ken is so much more effortlessly dorky-cool than the others, and Midge, well… we don’t talk about her much. Who better than Kate McKinnon to embody those dolls that get roughed up more than others? Will Ferrell is… well, he’s doing his cutesy-weird thing which worked as the father figure in the LEGO Movie but is just off-putting here. Helming it all is the unstoppable duo of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Robbie’s journey from a life of total but unfulfilling happiness to the leap into the unknown is about as committed and authentic as the movie will allow, and Gosling is the ideal vapid limbo who 100% isn’t gay. For real, he’s just fabulous.

But Barbie is nothing without her accessories, right? The other major standout of Greta Gerwig’s creation is its immaculately fantastical production design. Much like The LEGO Movie, this takes a pointedly and intentionally artificial approach. Nothing looks real because nothing should; this is a pretend land where everything is perfect and controlled. Products are integrated into the background to create enough Easter eggs to make the most die-hard Bar die fanatic happy. But it moves farther than that. This is a constructed fake world, in a literal sense. These are real Dreamhouses and props that the characters interact with, creating a tactility not unlike the experience of playing with a doll and imagining her immaculate world. Painted mountain backdrops and static waves keep this at a remove from direct reality, keeping this realized but not real. In a way, this feels like a postmodern Powell and Pressburger film, evoking Old Hollywood soundstages and painterly sets while telling a story with new sensibilities. Weird Barbies house with its winding path has to be a direct reference to The Red Shoes and its villa where the men revamp their ballet. There is Busby Berkeley too, eluded to in Barbie’s bespoke party but elevated to apotheosis in the Kenergy of the ir storming of the beach.
