Little fact about Edward when he got infected;

When Edward got infected, in the Stage 1 process, he was very clingy to Thomas and a couple other small engines like Phillip, Bill and Ben. He was also easily agitated and quite harsh towards everyone but Thomas and the aforementioned (he was nicer to Percy, though). His crew described how Edward was like an overprotective father towards the little tank (and diesel) engines. They said it was like someone took his parental traits and dialed them up to 1000%. He'd constantly be paranoid as well, and his crew would have to keep a constant eye on him while they worked (engines are still in a condition to work during stage 1) as he'd sometimes run away to either Knapford, the clay pits or the Ffarqhuarr branchline, which ever's closest.

You know it's a bad idea when your twin (whom you frequently get up to shenanigans with) thinks your idea is stupid

[mean-scarlet-deceiver]

My goofiest BoCo headcanon - a total joke, really; in no way canon at all - is that, ✨for some reason, somehow✨Coppernob comes for a visit.

Don't even ask how, why, or who's paying for it. Don't worry about it! The point is, the visit's, like, a month long.

Though as far as BoCo's concerned it's interminable.

Coz Bill and Ben, see. I just want Nobby, against all expectations, to be the world's most indulgent grandpa and the twins' worst-ever enabler.

(I never bought that the landslide at the clay pits in season 3 was an act of God nor even of capitalism per se, you know. I've always suspected the twins. Now, with this crack-y headcanon, I have a third suspect...)

Anyway the first sign of trouble was way back when the twins were four hours late with a delivery and BoCo was like '??? 🤨' and the twins are basically like 'Nobby took us out for ice cream cones 😈😇'

Ttte swearing headcanons

Thomas: swears at least once a day when nobody is around, thinks saying no-no words is funny

Edward: never said a bad word in his life, will remind everyone to watch their language

Henry: would if he could but knows that swear words hurt people.

Gordon: thinks swearing is undignified, despicable, disgraceful, and disgusting.

James: doesn’t swear except for that time he derailed when his brake blocks were on fire.

Percy: learned a new word, uses it, until he’s told that it’s a bad word

Toby: scolds Percy and Thomas for foul language, swear police

Duck: thinks that swearing is not the Great Western Way ™. Swear police no. 2

Donald: swears in his sleep when he’s stressed out.

Douglas: will swear occasionally for fun

Oliver: will swear occasionally when Duck and toad aren’t around

Emily: is a proper lady and thinks swearing isn’t ladylike

Salty: picked up his vocabulary from the sailors. Has quite the sailor mouth

Cranky: sailor mouth no. 2

Diesel: has a potty mouth so big that it’s a septic tank

Bill and Ben: turn into a pair of giggling middle schoolers when anyone swears.

Mavis: will tell bill and Ben to “stop saying that Word! It’s a swear word and it’s not a nice !!$#&!! Thing to say!”

BoCo: scolds anyone for swearing

Duncan: if Diesel has a septic tank mouth, then Duncan has an entire sewage treatment plant mouth. He uses words like !!$&#!!, !!$#&!!, and !!$#&!! So liberally that they are now conservative.

(Get it, like the political spectrum where theoretically you can go so far in one direction that you wind up on the other side…

I’ll take my leave)

tried making some ttte memes (314)

[ikoarts]

It's finally complete.... a full page of doodles of some of my human ttte chars

Was just doodling without putting too much pressure on myself for it to be perfect, so these are a bit messier than usual but I'm okay with that, a lot of this is still conceptual too, still ironing out the kinks

But yeah!! This took me about 3 days to fill the whole thing

Gordon, Bill, Ben, Thomas, Diesel, James, Boco, Emily, Mavis, Millie... and some other little doodles here and there

DAY 3 : TWINS

Cant have shit in Sodor these thangs are messing with this green rectangle

[thunderxleafart]

Hey y'all! :D Now that the holiday madness has died down, I finally managed to finish this off!

It seemed only fitting to draw the twins enjoying the Christmas season, since I adore those lil buggers so much, but it looks like they have a friend with them this time around! ;D

That's right, it's good ol' Edward! Honestly I love most of the characters from Thomas (especially the model series), but Edward definitely earns a special place in my heart along with those cheeky little twins. Plus I will always have a soft spot for the father/son bond he seems to have with the twins. ;; It's just so wholesome! And you bet Edward is one of the only engines the twins will never play tricks on, cause he genuinely respects and looks out for them, so they respect him right back. :D Wholesomeness all around!

Just some wholesome train content for y'all as we close out 2023 and head into the New Year! <3

I spent a lot longer on this than I'm willing to admit LOL but after everything, I'm still pretty darn happy with how it came out! Backgrounds are a pain as always but I'm still pretty darn happy with how it all came together in the end! Especially since this was my first attempt at drawing Edward, and I'd say he came out pretty darn good! :D

The Holiday season has been pretty up and down for me this year, a lot more stressful then previous years, but Christmas Day was still a blast hanging out with my fam. <3 I finally have my grubby lil hands on the Railway Stories collection, and I was really happy to see how everyone reacted to the things I got them! ;3 So overall, a good year!

I'll be putting together another art-in-review type thing for the year that'll hopefully be posted tomorrow, so stay tuned for that! :D

I hope you all had a nice Holiday season, and I look forward to bringing you all sorts of fun new stuff in the New year! ;3 And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edward, Bill & Ben (c) Thomas & Friends Art (c) Me! <3

[putuponpercy]

I still love this headcanon that Edward will randomly call the twins William and Benjamin just to mess with them

Transcript under the cut

Bill & Ben: *Conspiring in brummy*

Edward: hmm...

Edward: Morning William! Morning Benjamin!

. . .

Bill: Are we in trouble???

Ben: I don't think so???

Bill: What did we do?

Ben: What did you do more like!

Bill: I didn't do nothing!

Ben: You must've!

Bill: Nuh-uh! You must've!!!

Ben: No!!! At least not yet...

Bill: So it was you!

Ben: Nuh-uh!

BoCo: So uh... What did they do?

Edward: Oh, nothing. No I just like to keep them on their toes

BoCo: Ted that's mean...

Edward: ^u^

[killerhybrid]

Edward- "I may be old Iron but you two will have to do better than that if you want to beat me."

Bill and Ben decided to try and gang up on Edward in hopes of winning together. Unfortunately for them, Edward has plenty of steam and experience to fight both at once. Promptly sending Ben flying while Bill watched in shock.

HUNT THE TRUCK

surprisingly, I wasn't too sure about this episode but oh my god.. /pos

for a BWBA episode, this takes the absolute cake, it shows off Bill and Ben interacting with different engines and especially Edward, it shows the docks and even Edward's new location for it too (since he isn't at Tidmouth anymore, still salty about this but whatever)

it shows their relationship to definitely be: two hyper twins and their tired babysitter.

AND EDWARDS ACTING IN THIS SCENE

god, Edward's VA didn't have to go so hard but they DID AND FOR WHAT

"Oh dear! Where is my truck? The Earl will be dissapointed when he hears the sad news.."

I'm going absolutely feral you have no idea.

(peak the most smug grin an engine has ever had)

I could honestly rant about this forever/pos but this episode is definitely worth watching imo

[mean-scarlet-deceiver]

little-known fact: Ben the China Clay engine actually invented this meme

Ben: What would u do if i was a worm

Ben's driver, yawning over his thermos: Live a peaceful life

Ben: What would u do if i was a worm

Cranky: The hell?

Ben: U know. If i were just here on the rails and turned into a worm. What would u do

Cranky, swinging away: You're trying to mess with me but joke's on you. I see way weirder things than that up here at 2 a.m.

Ben: What would u do if i was a worm

Bill: Worm bruh????? 😲

Ben: Worm bruh 😎

Bill: WORM BRUHS!!!! 🤩

Ben: BRUH 🤩🤩

Bill: BRUH 🤩🤩🤩

Ben: What would u do if we were worms

Edward: Wh-what?

Bill: What would u do. if we were worms.

Edward: Ah, well, have Driver put you in a little aquarium I suppose

Ben: So like u would just put us in a box 😡

Edward: *very seriously* We'd need to make a safe home for you. Otherwise a bird might have you for breakfast and that would never do

Bill: So it would be a... nice box? 🥺

Edward: Of course. Some smooth pebbles, a gnarled branch, and all the leaves that were good for you. You could live at my station, I'm sure the porters would help look after you

Ben: damn okay that's really sweet

Edward: Honestly you'd be less of a hazard in that form...

Bill: All right man, don't ruin the moment

Bill: What would u do if we were worms

BoCo: *no hesitation* Crush you under my wheels

Bill and Ben: HEYYY!

BoCo: *shifts gear and rolls away*
