Fanfics & Chill: Mallard

Fanfics & Chill is back, and this week we're reading @tornadoyoungiron 's Mallard , in which we experience the surprisingly catty world of Trains, and learn why the worlds fastest train is named after a Duck.

As always, we make no apolgies for the sketchy accents.

I hope this isn't insensitive but what do you mean by project onto your writing?

It's okay, I don't mind.

By projecting I mean putting my own foul mood and depressive state into the writing.

While I do project parts of myself into characters, Arrow's inability to communicate, Tydfil's struggling with ADHD and it affecting her jobs, I want Young Iron to still be hopeful, positive and deal with otherwise dark topics in a hopeful or at least healthy light.

The last chapter I wrote (not published) when reading back felt very spiteful and too dark compared to everything else I wrote.

Grey trying to cope with her accident went down a super dark path which felt really out of place compared to the rest of the series. I realised I had to step back and take a break.

The series will be back soon but hopefully this explains why it's going on hiatus for a while. And hey, I wrote almost 330,000 words in just over a year (not counting the Shorts). It think that's an achievement in itself.

[askyoungiron]

Congratulations, Gordon! How’d it feel to finally pull the Flying Scotsman train?

Gordon: But between you and me, it was the hardest run I’ve ever done. I really don’t know how my siblings pulled it everyday! Sometimes twice in one day!

[bruhstation]

Also I wanna say for the Locos' designs I humbly suggest the classic "overalls and Nothing Else"

Ferdinand maybe gets a straw hat

Thomas is thoroughly confused as to how these dipshits are going barefoot everywhere when some of these plants have thorns

(wip) ferdinand's design + colors coming soon in approximately 2 business days. can't believe these hillbillies saved casa tidmouth from ending prematurely

//OKAY TO THOSE WHO ARE IN THE TTTE/TIDMOUTH SERVER, OR ANYONE WHO SEES THIS, YOU KNOW ITS TIME FOR A YIAU REACTION

TW SPOILERS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF CHP. 37 AND SOME BITS OF A GOLDEN SOUL

(Notes on my last post will be at the end)

OHFMSJAHAJAKSHDHSJAJSHD ITS HERE YEAHAHAHAHHDHD ITS HERE FRESH OUT OF THE OVEN

Oh OH THEYRE THERE ALREADY THEYRE AT THE HOUSE, MANSION, WHATEVER IT WAS

Ah gosh RIGHT THE HYBRID THING. Thank God I did a refresh read before this chapter came out

GADWALL BEHAHAJDB HOLY GOSH

"She has to be okay. I can't just abandon her!" Oh you loyal man, considering she's not.. Yknow in there anymore, I'll be bracing myself for whatever emotions are to come to both Oscar and the readers BEGAJAKDJCB

"You're going to be a part of this family very soon, need I remind you" YEAAASSS THAT TOO! Still feels like a feverdream to now see that these two are engaged considering long ago they were a bit messy with their relationship (aka, A Golden Soul and perhaps many other series-es)

Wait a click GADWALL IS A SILVER SOUL????

Okay now that adds onto my theory of (most likely) all the revived constructs (aka people like Quicksilver) being silver souls, cause to think about it I think Gold dust would've been too limited (most likely) around the time they were actually revived

So then, silver souls were one of the few ways to get ehm back during said times, as to not risk wasting Gold dust

But then- It wouldnt make sense considering HENDRICK HAS VILES OF GOLD DUST but I suppose it could've been gained around recent years and not like by the minute he was revived

ANYWAYS CONTINUING THE CHAPTER! I'll be saving those theories for seperate posts I suppose

Sorry Oscar you just YOU GO WITH HIM TO TELL HER THAT, SHE REALLY REALLY NEEDS TO HEAR IT.

"I know. You always come back running to me, one way or another." Considering a lot, same goes to you Truro to Scot LMAOAIDH

Woag WOAH GADWALL

WHAT ON EARTH?? IS THIS IMPLYING THAT SILVER SOULS HAVE ABILITIES SIMILAR TO THAT OF A GOLDEN WARDEN OR IS GADWALL ONE?????

GOOD LORD-

Oop OOOOOOO WE'RE BACK TO MAYFLOWER AND (Actually) BLUE PETER

Lack of stamina, waif WAIF WAIT

I might post the note I saved this theory on onto my tumblr after this, but is this- IS THIS BLACK SMOKE

Okay now thats sortve an exaggeration considering lack of stamina can be a sympton of a lot of things, BUT ANYWHO CONTINUING ON

Oh yikes YIKES OKAY, INSISTENT, NOTING THAT DOWN

I love how 9F was used in that sentence, fits well!

Friends FIRUABAB OKAY WE GETTING INTO THE LITTLE PEEKS LETS GO

"He'd push everyone that might have given him a place to rest his wheels." Sorry I just I nearly exploded at that sentence, ITS SO AIHFJDUFH Its relatable in a way

CLASS 37 MENTION LETS GOOOO

"We so rarely get larger engines visiting our small piece of paradise."

"Excuse me, I'm a larger engine!" mAYFLOWER BEHAHAJDBXNZ

CRACKED ME UP RIGHT THERE LMAO

(Insert words that describe me just going suddenly quiet reading Blue Peter's thoughts and basically whats happening between the three)

HOLYGO I NEARLY LOST MY OXYGEN, BITTERN MY GUY HAHAHAJAHDHXN

"You act like this is a common thing, Grey"

"That's because it is!" I am not getting over these two australians BEHSJDHDB THIS IS ONE OF THE MOMENTS THAT GET MY CURIOSITY ALL UP FOR FLASHBACK BITS TO PENDENNIS' PAST

shy SHYAHAHAJFB

I love how this bit of the convo is just:

"Well you didnt tell me!"

"How could we? We didnt even know shite about how it works for you!"

FIAYR DUDT

New nickname for Gold dust, Fairy dust

Grey that is one of the most poetic interesting things you've said HOLY GOD

Honestly I cant blame them, even if they knew, that sentence wouldve been magnificent either way

"I mean, who better to run a railway museum than an engine, right?" The way Olivia is technically half an engine (or is she?) and now theres this lad BEHAHAJAKDH

Wait GREY. LORE BIT LORE BIT- Okay I mean why am I surprised, SILVERFOX AND WHO I SUSPECT TO BE BLINK BONNY WORK ON THE BLUEBELL RAILWAY OF COURSE THERES CONSTRUCTS LIKE THAT

(For context, in aGS Godred says he met this person named "Bonny" alongside Silverfox when he was on the Bluebell, but thats from what I remember)

Aait WAIT HORATIO HE

IS THIS IMPLYING HE ALSO TAKES A SIMILAR ROLE????

Waut WUAJAJA OHMYGOD GOLDEN CIRCLE MENTION, GOLDEN CIRCLE MENTION FOLKS

WELL SAID HORATIO WELL SAID (I am speechless)

Oh God OH GOD

OKAY FINALLY THEY REALIZE THAT

WELL SAID EVERYONE.. WELL SAID (I am still speechless)

Oh so THATS WHY THEYRE CALLED WARDENS ITS OHMYGO IT MAKES SOME MORE SENSE NOW

Wait WAIT. HOLY SHIT

THE FUCK YOU MEAN THEY WERE THE ONES TO RUN IT????? THIS

IT MAKES SENSE NOW, WHY THOSE PRICKS HAD ACCESS TO BLACK-SMOKE RELATED THINGS LIKE YKNOW THE LITTLE CANISTER THAT CAUSED SCOT HIS NIGHTMARES AND THE VILE OF BLACK SMOKE

ITS A FUCKIN CORRUPT SYSTEM

Well damn I never expected that a corrupt government would pop up in YIAU, but then again YIAU is basically collecting every type of trauma so LMAOHDGHD

Oh wait he isnt blue in this timeline LMAO NEARLY FORGOT ITS STILL 2023 IN THIS

I AM BACK YEAH LETS GO

"After accepting Tornado he realised just how alone he was." Well THATS. THATS SOMETHING TO BE SHOT BY ON A FRIDAY EVENING

(Insert just a cacophony of "WHAT"s, "NO"s, "STOP NO"s, "LORD"s, and then silence just reading this bit)

"Don't ever feel sorry for being sick, this isn't the 50s or 60s anymore, you won't get scrapped just because you've got a rivet wrong." wHAT IS WITH THIS CHAPTER AND IT'S DEEP QUOTES

But still, wise words from Mayflower right there

Ohmygod. OHMYGOD. I JSUT

I was playing around with an incorrect quote generator and this seems about accurate to the latest chapter of A Golden Soul

[ladychandraofthemoone]

Encanto Engines AU: Mirabel and the Magic Rail

Hello, thought I share some of my ideas 💡 of a Encanto/ sentiment vehicles think Ttte, I’m not sure if those characters would appear but more of a expy versions of them. Basically there are many thoughts on how this would act:

1. Mirabel gets a gift that results in her making all vehicles like trains, locomotives, buses, cars, boats/ships come to life, wether it be like Casita or non faceless plus her connection with the mystical engine of a expy Lady who she protects and takes care alongside other magical engines like entities (Proteus, Stepney, a diesel oc called Chamomile who’s gothic, deadpan  and acts as a guide to lost souls, both vehicle and human) while at the same time helping vehicles who are at risk at becoming scarp in the “Mainland” outside at the Encanto , the versions of Sodor, which now has rails and is considered to be a safe haven rumors with Mirabel being like a savior towards the vehicles who tries her utter hardest to give them rights and protect them to giving them a good life

2. The Madrigals are conductors think like Mr.conductor and Mirabel is still given the gift of having Lady as her chosen heir with everything coming to life but she is also the guardian and protector of the Gold Dust as it turns out that’s keeps them alive instead of Mirabel bringing them to life as it’s Lady and her fellow entities who she then protects despite the D10 expy destroying them and Lady being forced to flee into the Encanto Mountains to recover with only Mirabel and Antonio be allowed there as everyone else would get lost forever but are still trying to help give non faceless vehicles a better life while restoring the gods (Antonio ends up saving Stepney as it;s his first time out of the Encanto and ends up becoming quite fond of him, plus realizing how horrible their lives are outside and wanting to help Mirabel with her outings

3. Third would be that once having a gift they would then be connected to a vechile with Antonio being connected to a expy Rusty the little Diesel engine and gets a lot of distrust from the steamies but all in all they become a big railway family that even if Mirabel didn’t;t receive a gift since the sentinel machines were already alive in the first place and the family tries to give them better lives and keep adopting them, plus the part where they can turn into humanoid like beings like those ttte humanizations with grey skin, wheels, being more strong but still non human like, plus they are given the golden whistles at the age of 5 to have gold dust like the second option

Each Family member with a machine, whether alive or not: maybe I’ll do another post on which engine would fit which

Isabela: 

A Fairy Queen which is in the East Indian Railway Nr. 22,[1] is a steam locomotive built in 1855, restored by Loco Works Perambur, Chennai in 1997, would fit as it is technically one of the most lovely locomotives and is a luxury railway with many decorative designs akin to Isabela’s dress before and after

There would be versions of the Skarloey, Ardesdale, Culdee railways as the Encanto becomes bigger and installed with railway with Mirabel having the most knowledge as she would be an avid railway enthusiast  and most of the them being large engines that identify as feminine while many having trucks being masculines and coaches and that the engines will say something in other people’s or machines defense or fall in love with a Edward/Boco expy being married as trains rules don’t apply to human things and because not of them are straight and they can’t have children as they’re sterile but they can adopt many younger vehicles  or many trains ocs,

 i’m not sure if Lady expy would be with Bruno and Mirabel with a Duncan expy who absolutely love his tall gf and would die for her via attacking anyone with his wheels, Lady being calm and understanding around Bruno as she understands the feeling of not being useful as she feels protectiveness as her magic constantly brings machines to life and magical powers that drained her so much that it felt her weak during the d10 attack since she’s felt the need to help others with her being rare and that if they can turn into humanoid like, Lady would state that he looks lovely and compliments everyone, plus the vehicles would be helping with many things, if they needs someone to listen to or they want advice or more personal questions with Camilo with their gender identity alongside their family (I hc them as genderfluid) Antonio questioning if boys can marry each other as he has a crush on his new best friend Ivo hugh/Luke expy as he gets older but due to him being a machine wonders if that relationship is forbidden or how he cried that Stepney would retire and be scrapped

Their relationship: Lady would be Pansexual , Bruno be Demi ace and Lady would be like “a”My 3.5000 children even though some that they are older than me, have seen you as a father-uncle honorary figure and have adopted you 🥰

Also Oscar is tall but Olivia is taller. She's 6'5, I don't think I ever mention it in story. Only person taller than her is Rooster and he's 7ft.

Mallard 2: The Quackening

This week, we take one final journey along the line to @tornadoyoungiron's Mallard, the story of one angst filled trains search for the reason behind his name. James dabbles briefly in Trainspotting (not the drugs kind), and Grace's Fight or Flight response is triggered by Nigel Gresley

In chapter 19 of golden soul. It said mallard killed Donovan because he was " desperate to please his older brother" so what happened? Could it be a mini-story

Yes, Donovan was very much fanatical about Flying Scotsman to the point that Scotsman found him unbearable to be around and avoided him where possible. Much like Mallard feels about Union, Union always uses him as an excuse for being an insufferable princess.

Mallard killed him because Donovan was being a petulant asshole and proclaimed how Mallard would never be better than Scotsman, something which North would constantly do.

Mallard just snapped and took his soul on the spot because he was so fed up with being compared to Scotsman. There's not much to it really, Donovan was very unaware of what he was doing or how he was affecting Mallard.

It wouldn't really make for a good story, it's just a very nasty situation and I don't really want to write that.

A GOLDEN SOUL - Chapter 29 - A Unique Engine

Truro asserts his dominance and meets Lady of Legend. Flying Scotsman gifts Gordon a special birthday present for his 100th Build day.

Archive of Our Own | Fanfiction.net

I have had a DAY. So here's chapter 29 early chaps.

[askyoungiron]

I can understand why you would be a little upset about Mallard’s death, considering how it happened, Scot. Mallard left you no choice in the matter, though. You did everything you could. It isn’t like you didn’t try to reach him. You did try, you tried so hard, even at the very end you were trying. He made the choice to reject it at every turn. That’s not your fault.

Flying Scotsman: I know. It still doesn’t change the fact that no matter the reason, I still took another being’s life. I don’t ever want to feel comfortable or feel good in doing something like that, ever.
