"Heavy Harry looks like its about to go postal"
So goes one of the comments under this cartoon by John Draper for the SAR 520 Restoration SteamRanger group.
Going postal would not be too out of character for Heavy Harry, he is very easily angered; '01 for her part looks incredibly outraged, like actually personally offended.
For her part, R761 just looks confused as hell.
As a Victorian gunzel I had a good laugh, just cause seeing my bitter boy in a cartoon, even in a sardonic one is always a hoot. I appreciate the backhanded acknowledgement of both Harry and the Rs being representative of our state's flagship locos alongside '01. It hits just right.
I gotta say, this is one of the strangest comments I have ever seen:
Except that the SAR 520 class has a very strong resemblance to the Pennsylvania Railroad T-1 Class, reflecting SAR Commissioner's William Webb's and CME Fred Hugh Harrison's penchant for American locomotive design and...
...and...
...and...
*reads that last line again*
*blinks*
*Gets visions of a Dalby-esque scene of Heavy Harry derailing*
I MUST DRAW THIS I MUST

my name is Dokki or Kips (don't forget the s!) depending on which is easier to pronounce for you. I use he/him/his and it/its. peep/peepself neopronouns are also appropriate.
-
a lot of my art is signed "SP" although lately ive been signing dokupine at my speculative biology blog. I also have a minecraft/myct blog and a pixar cars blog. I don't post original work there very often, though.
-
I welcome anyone migrating from other social media sites (twitter, reddit) as long as you promise to be courteous to people here on tumblr.
heckling, bullying, or any unwanted attention, or attempting to get my opinion on discourse will get you blocked. I also block if people have too much personal information in their bios, which is kind of an arbitrary scale. If I do block you, its not a personal attack.

Okay one small thing that I have to get off my chest about Nona the Ninth…
The fact that shit went down in Greytown of all places cracks me up. Greytown??? Really, Tasmyn? Hilarious shitpost of a detail to write.
For fans that don’t live in New Zealand, Greytown is real place a little over an hour north of the capital city, Wellington. There is absolutely nothing going on there. No industry. It used to be a thriving settlement in the 1800s, but was bypassed by the railway in the 1870s and never recovered from that. Now it’s just a very small rural town surrounding a few over-priced shops (antique store, candy shop, lingerie store for mums, a few shapeless expensive dress stores for mums, and a few ~curated home decor boutiques~ etc) clustered around Highway 2 that you have to drive through on your way up north. There’s a Sunday farmer’s market that’s cute, but nothing special. It gets made fun of a little bit in Wellington because it takes itself a little tooooooo seriously as “New Zealand’s Most Beautiful Small Town 2017” (it’s cute, I have to admit) and because it seems to be kept alive entirely by rich farmers’ wives.
I absolutely think Tasmyn Muir was taking the piss by making Greytown the place where a God is made

Good Morning!
I'm actually a night owl. Anyway-
Hello!! I'm Capy (she/her but others are cool too) and I like the silly little engine show! I turned 19 this year...my head hurts a lot these days, and I'm a full-time uni student, so Thomas has been a bit of a coping mechanism for me lately!
I've been a bit of a lurker for my first few years on Tumblr, so I really don't know the first thing about Tumblr etiquette besides reblog = good...but I got back into Thomas and have no one to talk to about it so here I am!
In terms of what I'll post it really depends on my social anxiety and my school work, but I have a couple of humanized TTTE engines under my belt? I'd also like to explore Furness! Edward and CR! Scottish twins! My favourites are Edward, Scottish twins, Emily, Ryan (they did him so dirty...), Skarloey and Sir Handel!
I also just really like the Skarloey railway in general! I wish they did more with them in the CGI era, Duncan's episodes were *chef's kiss*. I don't know much in terms of real-life engines or railways, but I'd love to learn more to incorporate them into some headcanons I have...
That's it for now I think! Sorry for the long post aha. This is a side blog so I have a main, but that's just where I keep my interests over time and I'm MUCH quieter there. This is sort of my first time being public on a platform like Tumblr? So sorry if I do something wrong!!
Edit: Gonna make some tags now cuz I wanna organize stuff ha
#capy's graffiti - doodles or shitposts that I make when I have brainrot or don't want to do work
#pictures in the reception hall - more rendered art. Will be MUCH less frequent than shitposts because I am a uni student, but they do exist sometimes
#stem major tries out media literacy - the one and only. Writing posts for when I get so much brainrot I start spewing letters.
#how the hell do i organize this - DUMPSTER TAG. Other kind of brainrot but with a lot less nuance

Judy: .... Hello?
Stu: Hey, Juderido! How've you been?
Judy: Ehhh... Not too good...
Stu: Why, what's wrong?
Judy: It's just... Since we were both scared of being targeted for being breeders after the whole... Incident... Me and Nick decided to break off and just be... Friends...
Stu: Well that sucks...
Judy: *Sigh* I know... But we've at least adjusted to-
Stu: And I was just going to tell you that we had just gotten the approval from City Hall to allow interspecies rights in Bunnyburrow too...

Guys
I just had a big brain moment:
What if Thomas met both his of his "Day out with Thomas" counterparts from the Oigawa Railway and Strasburg Railway respectively?

hello, my names kips (with the s) and I like thomas the tank engine and death grips :D my pronouns are he/him. I also like it/its and just recently took interest in peep/peepself.
~~~~
my art is signed "SP" after an old url (shortiepunk)
I also have specbio , pixar cars, and minecraft blogs. None of these are as active as this blog, though!
to people migrating from ttte twitter: hello! I hope you enjoy your stay
heckling, bullying, or any unwanted attention will get you blocked. I also block if people have too much personal information in their bios, which is kind of an arbitrary scale. If I do block you, its not a personal attack.
This also applies to anyone who decides to heckle or bully other people in TTTE tumblr. Its rude, dont do it.
I don't engage with any petty fighting or discourse. I am here to have fun and post about trains.
