Lmfaoooo I’m part Indian, but I don’t find him as hot. All urs! He’s beautifully decorated tho!

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

Oh, asker. In a way, me too. I’ve always liked them older. Used to be old men. Now it’s old sentient machinery lol.

Edward reminds me of a neighbour I knew. He was Iranian Jewish. He was a bit eccentric, was asexual, n ppl thought we were dating. We were close friends. I hung out with him nearly every day until I moved to another neighbourhood. He’d ring me n check in daily, we ate together, went to a casino together by the beaches. I’m not really a gambler, so I’d mostly enjoy the beach whilst he gambled. I had just become a home aide (I was one for 6 years, n quit due to health issues), and he had a heart attack. He survived, but also had ketoacidosis I think, from not taking his meds. He was diabetic. He went missing n didn’t check in for a few days, so I contacted his family. I had to go to file a police report. Police eventually found him dead in his office, slumped over a chair. He was 60. I think I was 30? Or was turning 30?

He was a kind n gentle soul. He was an adjunct professor. His brother n family told me they were glad I was in his life before he passed. He had come upon me in the tube one day. I had been switching trains because a nasty couple was making out in the one I’d been in. I was on the way to look at a room to rent. I had just lost the first place n was staying with besty. He came up to me, n it felt like he was flirting. I was a bit taken back. I told him “I’m sorry, but I think it’s best you go be with ur wife, gf, or ex” much to me surprise, he had never had anyone. He was a lifelong virgin. I said I don’t generally socialise with men who have or had a wife, gf, or ex. I also told him I hate pornography n I don’t associate with blokes who watch it. I find it incredibly immoral. He agreed n said he didn’t watch it. (And he didn’t!) I told him too that k didn’t like blokes who were on social media, n he said he wasn’t on it.

He thought I was Hindu. I thought he was Muslim. This went on for a few weeks. Eventually we both realised we were neither. He occasionally brought me to his colleges n I sat in with him. He took me to a movie premiere for an Iranian film. We went to parades in the city. We went to the beaches. He even brought me to his brother’s for Passover one year. It was a bit awkward, but they were kind, n I got to learn about it first hand. N they accepted me.

For me, the concept of romantic ‘love’ has always been something foreign. I never really could understand it, n secretly battled with a lack of attraction. However, platonic love (agape love, as some put it), i understand quite well.

I preferred virgin men, gay folk, n such because I thought I could trust them more. I still trust a lot of gay folks more - for purely non sexual reasons. N I never had any sexual interest in gay folks. I liked being friends with them BECAUSE I didn’t have to worry about them trying to be sexual with me. I felt I could have healthier platonic bonds with them. Ppl used to always equate virginity with youth n adolescence. That always creeped me out. They always thought u wanted an adolescent in disturbing ways if u mentioned virginity. It’s a shame society is like this. Honestly, I’d b happy for more lifelong virgin old men who never had romances. I don’t want to be involved in anyone’s drama, especially romantic drama. Folks who had previous partners trying to flirt with me especially make me cringe, although I’m not into anyone flirting with me at all. People with previous partners trying to or even thinking of touching me makes me sick to think of. I’ll hug a friend, but I want absolutely NOTHING to do sexually or romantic with other people, especially kids.

What I shared with ebbi was a bond. People are so very obsessed with sex these days. We didn’t. He wasn’t able to physically anyway. We had trust in each other. We had occasional arguments, but we got on exceptionally well. We were loyal to each other. We didn’t need sexual stuff. Society needs to learn that u don’t always need the sexual stuff. There r things faaaar beyond that. That is only one side of relationships.

*check the big ol list*

Sorry, dear asker!

(Might have been drunk when it happened)

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

And let’s be honest, sonny is better looking. Hank is in the same metaphorical boat as Billy n mighty Mac (might mac actually got better looking in season 12. Who would have seen that coming?) - they’re fine engines, except for those faces. Good lord, someone somewhere had a grudge they were working out! Sonny is also an interesting character with enough of a backstory for potential. They dropped the ball on him.

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

Lmfaooo which one? The Gordon one? Haha I get it! I’ve uploaded gifs only to get notified like that lol.

It’s gold! It speaks to me so clearly! Good job! I was wondering who created it! I found it on tenor!

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

lol!

For me, I feel like this, because I have the old ppl collection - cane, glasses, dentures, adult nappies, u name it. I’m patched up, n somehow keep going.

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

Ahhhh!

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

Cool! In what language?

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

lol he’s not bad. He’s somewhere on me list.

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

Not to lick funnels n tell,

But things DO get wild in the shed during shed parties. That’s all I’m able to divulge at this time lol

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

You know what? Their personalities would honestly make an interesting dynamic. We also don’t really see much of Oliver, especially in the cgi series. I’m all for this.

[ttteconfessionsrevived]

Yes! Exactly! And as long as u r not actually intentionally trying to harm or manipulate other people, especially minors.

Don’t let anyone intimidate you into thinking what THEY want, just because they yuck your yum.

People in the fandom tend to

A) take the wrong stuff out of context

and

B) take it too seriously

Then

C) harass the wrong folks

This is a good one! Ok….lets unpack this a little at a time, yeah?

First off, I’m really curious about that post now. If it’s canon, it sounds incredibly fascinating, especially if it’s based on something that actually happened. TBH though, it sounds more like fanfic or a headcanom, but I can’t verify either way. I’ve never heard about this.

Sooo….

Mike is based on the no 9 river mite.

So let’s start there. He was built by

H. Clarkson and Son of York.

This might be where you got confused -

Using the former Poultney tender chassis fitted to River Esk between 1928 and 1931, the new Preservation Society designed a 2-8-2 locomotive, which was built by Clarksons of York in 1966 and commissioned in May the following year. River Mite was delivered to Ravenglass by traction engine. After overhauls in 1978 and 2006/7, she celebrated her fortieth year at Ravenglass in 2007.

(The real life info for both was on the same above link for ravenglass.)

Rex was built by Henry greenly. He was based on the no 7 river esk. (He’s flying Scotsman’s age.)

River Esk was built in 1923 as a 2-8-2 by Davey Paxman of Colchester and designed by Henry Greenly. She was first employed on stone trains, however soon found more use on passenger traffic.

During a rebuild in 1928 by the Yorkshire Engine Co., the engine received a Poultney steam tender, making the loco a 2-8-2+0-8-0. This proved unsuccessful and was soon removed, with the frames being utilised nearly forty years later as part of the second River Mite, after languishing at Murthwaite.

River Esk was out of service between 1940 and 1952 due to needing a new firebox. River Esk survived into the preservation era and a new livery of LNWR black in 1967 along with a new tender in 1970.

In the 1980s, the Esk was fitted with a gas-producer boiler and received an award from British Coal, however this has been replaced in recent years. The locomotive has visited the Romney, Hythe, and Dymchurch Railway several times and was a predecessor to that railway's Greenly Pacific locomotives.

Since July 2012, River Esk had been under a major overhaul inside the workshops at Ravenglass. Unfortunately, due to a shed fire, the work had slowed immensely and she was unserviceable. As of June 2018, River Esk returned to service after being rebuilt and modified by Nigel Day.

So I guess they ARE technically related, but I think it depends on your interpretation. If u r shipping them as humans, then gahhh. No. Stop. If u r shipping them purely as engines, then it’s up to you what to do with that. I mean hell, I’ve gotten flack for self shipping with bill n Ben, but I only do it as engines, as I’m not into people. The people who accused me were connected to and supporting some truly disturbing folks, whilst falsely accusing me of stuff, and taking things out of context without letting me explain. I also self ship Donald and Douglas, bash n dash as engines - as SENTIENT, with faces and personalities, all of which being older than me. I’m not shipping actual non sentient engines. Hope that helps!

Lmfaoooo u do u! I mean to b fair, I can’t really simp over the rws gang as much, n can only simp over the original series. I can give the adult engines in aeg a pass, but they’re still not the same. Theyre not as spicy as the original series was.

To b fair, Duncan is hot af. Yep I said it. It seems someone has a thing for Stanley’s chin dimple. It’s cool, Gordon’s philtrum (the line from his nose to his lip) is hot, along with the rest of him, so there u go. Millie is eh, but she can b annoying. Stanley does have a cool name n a nice silver funnel!

Update: anon added:

anon who admitted to being a Duncan simp, I do mean both RWS and tvs Stanley
