[jacks-metal-trains]

Hello everyone! My name is Jack, and welcome to the start of my brand new blog! (Isn't this so cool?.. That was sarcasm, by the way.) Anyway, for some background. During this prior weekend, at the time of posting anyway. I helped my family sort through most of our old family shit. When, from an old tub, I discovered some pretty crazy stuff. My old Take Along Thomas toys!

Here listed is everything (Barring Donald and Douglas) that we had as young children! Of course, me, being a stupid wanker, decided right there and then, that I would take up collecting these silly little metal trains. There are somethings missing from this line-up. The most obvious is Edward, but Bill and Ben and some of the cars and busses I'd like to get soon. There are also several items I'd like to replace, like Rusty, Daisy and the three big engines (Want that grey wheeled James, baby.)

The first update post does not end here! As, yesterday, I actually bought myself an Edward! New in the box too! And I'm looking at trying to get a pretty large lot that, if I can get it would basically complete the collection before I can even really begin.. Which would be a cop-out, but a funny one.

So, join me, Jack! (If you didn't figure that out, I'd suggest getting a better education) As I delve into the strange and fascinating world of toy collection!

It's interesting to note that ERTL was the only Thomas & Friends merchandise line to do both 7101 and 199 from the untelevised RWS story Super Rescue. Hornby did 7101, while Wooden Railway and Take Along both did 199, but only ERTL did both diesels.

Hello everyone! Sorry for the lack of your funny slop. I've just been a little busy with a lot of stuff at the moment, so I haven't really hat the time to think up some extra funny Team Chris jokes (Aside from Owen shitting half his body weight, but I'm sure you didn't follow me for shit jokes). Let me be clear, still loving Total Drama (We stan the Nizzy brain rot) but, like I said, my funny juices aren't flowing at the moment... That sounds bad. Also, here's some more Nizzy art, which I actually drew myself! Explains why it's so shit!

The next part of this post is a bit different. Yesterday, my father, brother and I decided to move a bunch of old stuff from our backyard shed. And I stumbled upon a rather interesting collection here! Here we have my childhood Take Along Thomas collection!

Of course, it's not perfect. I'm missing several items. Edward, Bill and Ben, Harold and Clarabel. (I have two Annie's but no Clarabels.. Bullshit) Just to name a few. Also, a good few are worse for ware. Gordon, Henry, Duck, Daisy and Rusty.

Low-key, kind of thinking about getting back into collecting some of this stuff. Already got myself a Edward (New in the box too!) and I'm wanting to get myself a few other items along the way! So, perhaps, if you lot are okay with it, I might make this also a collection update blog of sorts. Where I talk about these toy trains! That or I make a seperate blog tehe.

Please, do let me know!

Book 2 au with Zuko and Katara Lee and Huamei

Katara is separated from her friends, and so she's left to travel the earth kingdom on her own. She stumbles across Zuko, who is similarly travelling on his own. They decide that pairing up and travelling together would be best

[the-time-lord-oracle]

It's perhaps not surprising that Thomas & Bertie has received a fair bit of merchandising over the years, with Hornby, Tomy, Wooden Railway and Take Along all having a crack.

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

now i've watched a fair amount of d&d i've started to pick up on the differences between dm style i think

like brennan IS all the bad guys. every game he dms is brennan vs the players. he makes npcs and battles that make his friends throw things at him and he smirks the whole time. he makes them tell him their worst fears and then he makes them do it. and it's awful and amazing and really funny

matt IS exandria. his characters and battles never feel written or constructed, they just feel like things that already existed in the world. it's all about verisimilitude with him, and he's amazing at it. he tends to fade into the background and let the players react to the story and it makes everything he does incredibly cinematic

aabria dms like she's just another player at the table reacting to the story, right up until someone gets lulled into a false sense of security and tries to fool around and THEN she throws a curveball by making them deal with the consequences of their choices. she's like oh you think that's funny?? then i'm about to be hilarious, bitch. and she keeps getting away with it bc she's just that good!

basically, brennan's an evil bastard, matt's the world, and aabria's the queen of consequences

or:

brennan - fuck

matt - around

aabria - find out
