I think people forget the character development certain character’s got during the TTTECC/Thomas The Tank Engine Creator Collective.
The first thing to note is that we get Ryan backstory.
It’s amazing to think we got Ryan backstory before Stanley backstory.
Next up is the Vinnie,Spencer,D261 and Diesel 10 character development,each one of them developed in different places,Spencer was first,then Diesel 10,then Vinnie and lastly D261.
We also got a bunch of Philip characterisation in this one.
We also got the confirmation that Mallard does exist,and the fact that the horrid lorries and George the steam roller get redemption as well?
Ah the classic “School yard bully gets humbled by the girlboss in the class”…never gets old. You can’t tell me that Gina would put Vinnie in his place (gently) and the two develop feelings.
I hc that Gina is more of a headstrong girl, similar to Vinnie but more down to earth, so seeing the two clash and eventually become a pair is definitely down my alley!
So I was thinking of how to rewrite BWBA last night and I had an idea that also expands on the great railway show a bit.
What if, in an effort to foster stronger ties between the countries that competed, there was like a railway exchange program or something? Engines that participated in the show are sent to another country for a few months to experience what it’s like to work there.
Maybe Thomas is assigned to go to India, but he’s so excited to go that he rushes the cranes at the docks, who accidentally load him onto a ship going to Africa.
From there, the movie would be Thomas trying to get to India, with Nia going along becasue it’s a chance to see the world And because she takes one look at Thomas and realizes he’s gonna end up on the back of a milk carton if he goes it alone. But due to vague circumstances, every port or docks they end up at either don’t have ships bound for India or there isn’t any room from Thomas.
And maybe they go to wait lemme check where he’s from Canada and have some kind of conflict with Vinnie, who’s stiil got a bone to pick with Philip and decides that one Sodor engine is as good as another.
And at some point, they get to a dockyard with two ships: One bound for India, the other for Sodor. Nia's like “I’ve spent my whole life travelling across an entire continet. It might be nice to settle down somewhere small,” and heads for Sodor, while Thomas goes to India, leading into season twenty-two.
It’s a bit silly, but I feel like it works better than Thomas suddenly leaving Sodor because he wants to follow a racecar he just met.
Whats Whiffs, Hanks, and Connors love languages like? (Towards friends or even their partner) (also sry i HAD to pick those 3 bc i couldn't make up my mind-)
Oooooo; I like the choices! I need to talk about My Hank and Connor more; Let’s go!!
Let’s Start with Whiff. His language to friends is “I’ll treat you like how you treat me”. He can be nice to someone if they are nice to him but he will also show that he isn’t gonna be nice when someone is mean to him. He’ll be a jerk 2x worse than the other person if they are rude to him.
As of Lover wise; The last time he was in a relationship was before the Shed 17 and Project G-1 incident. His brain represses that event very well that he gets headaches a lot, but he remembers that he was slow in the relationship and he waited on his partner to be ready with things. Nowadays; He’s still like that but he doesn’t have long relationships. However; He does have likings towards a few people.
Now for Hank! Hank’s language towards friends is honestly so gentle that even Big old Gordon can be easily tamed by Hank. Hank doesn’t like being mean unless you get on his nerves hard. Like if Thomas is yelling at him; Hank would take it and when he thinks Thomas is done; He will ask if Thomas has more to say. If Thomas does; Hank will hear him out. If not then Hank will thoroughly apologize and comfort Thomas.
As for Lover wise; Hank is married in my AU. He’s a flirt when he wants to be. Otherwise he likes to take things at a pace; He doesn’t wanna force nor rush into things and it’s something his wife loves about Hank. Hank takes his lovers feelings and thoughts into mind and keeps them close so he knows what to do.
Now for Connor. Connor; When with friends; will have a big smile on his face and be very nice. He will have a wall up if anyone tries to be rude to him because Connor is not gonna take rudeness from anyone.
As for lover wise; He’s in a relationship with Vinnie and Caitlyn (Idk if the two are twins but they certainly don’t act like they are in the show so they aren’t related in my AU). Connor will be a love bug and will be the sweetest teddy bear that he is. He does show he is shy sometimes but when he has to be the one to admit things; He’s willing to step up to the plate. He’s going through relationships at a pace like Hank is. He’s at least less shy than Vinnie is that’s for sure lol.
Phillip was taken too the states with Hank and his adopted father Edward for holiday. He doesn't mind it so far, especially with Hank who he sees as a uncle. There's just a worried thought about his mind about seeing Vinnie again and getting bullied aging.
If ur still open for the ship stuff whats ur opinion on Caitlin x Vinnie?-
Ship ramble alert-
Girlboss x knife-wielding rat man >:3
She can pick him up, and he's a good cook. Vinnie probably wears one of those cute aprons (a gift from Caitlin). He always has a knife on his person. Caitlin and Vinnie run together.
