I figured that most of my followers figured this out already, but if not, this blog is largely inactive. Moreso than what I originally wanted but alas it’s just how things turned out.

I won’t be getting rid of this blog (as there’s a chance it’ll also delete my main account) and I do want to return to it at some point. Now probably isn’t the time since Transformers has a death-grip on me, but we’ll have to see. I’ve been waiting to do some redesigns, and the rewrites are mostly finished.

I’m sorry for the lack of updates, but it’s just how things happened. I’m much more active on my main account however, so if you’re interested, you can give me a follow at @fan-burns!

‘Till next time!

Oops…

In fairness I had college stuff to do but having said that I really should’ve said something sooner. Then again social media and talking were never my strong suit.

BUT WITH THAT SAID I’m ready to start posting again lol. I have all my aus rewritten and I’ll have something for everyone at some point this month.

It’s good to be back!

DC Au Thomas!

Thomas is an LB&SCR E2 Class locomotive, more specifically a Second Series E2 with the extended side tanks.

He was built in June of 1915, making him one of the oldest engines on Sodor! Contrary to popular belief, however, Thomas was not the first engine on Sodor. Instead, he only inherited the number after the first No 1 disappeared.

Thomas had a rough time growing up. He was taught by his older brothers not to trust the larger engines. Due to this, a younger Thomas was quite aggressive towards a younger Edward and a few other larger engines. While he grew out of this "emo phase", he still took many of his brothers lessons to heart.

Current day Thomas is a happy-go-lucky and sometimes hot headed engine, but he always means well….usually. He's cheerful, but he’s also the strong assertive type, and isn't afraid to speak up against mean engines. He can be quite cheeky too, but with his old age, he doesn't show it as much as he used to.

He loves a good challenge, but due to how bold and he can be, he's quite reckless. He also has a hard time admitting he made a mistake or did something wrong whenever one of his plans goes awry.

Thomas isn’t very good at listening to people. Especially to those in charge. The only people he does listen to is the Hatt family…but he doesn’t always listen to Sir Topham Hatt.

Like with many engines on Sodor, he despises the idea of a hierarchy. He believes that it paves the way for larger engines to order around smaller engines and put them in harms way. Even though he's a Preserved engine, he'd be more then happy to get rid of his "privilege" if it means keeping whatever steam engines remain across the world safe.

Thomas would kill to have a dock or harbor near his branch line. He loves the sea breeze and the sounds or the waves crashing up against the land. It reminds him of the Docks of Brighton Railway.

Thomas is one of the few engines who doesn’t mind eating thanks to his driver. His favorites are beef jerky and salt (yes he eats salt, don’t judge him) Just don’t tell any of the other engines that he likes to eat things…

Thomas was surprised when Stepney turned out to be one of his cousins. While the two aren't particularly close, both take pride in being relatives, and have even gained a peace of mind knowing that not all of their relatives were scrapped.

Thomas can be quite flirt when he wants to be, although no one but a few engines would know about it.

He can get super jealous whenever a new engine rolls in. This is partially due to how his brother raised him but also partially because he’s afraid of being replaced despite being the islands mascot…but then again, humans love replacing things they claim to adore so how can he be so sure he's safe from scrap?

He has some very mixed feelings towards Ryan. First and foremost he’s angry that he has to listen to him. He's jealous because Ryan has had the high life since he was built. He also finds Ryan attractive but would never, under any circumstances, admit he's in love like a normal engine.

He has a nasty habit of getting sick if he's swapped to a coal he isn't used to burning. There've been many attempts to switch the engines of Sodor to a better coal, but poor Thomas just wasn't compatible with any of them! Mallard will learn this the hard way soon enough...

Ultimately can be described with one word. Feral.

Quotes:

Thomas: *screaming*

Ryan: *screams louder*

Scott: "Shouldn't we interveine?"

Gordon: "No no, I want to see who wins."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Percy: "Why on earth would you want to use the jet engine again?!"

Thomas: "Because you can't make the same mistake twice! I heard those scientists finally nailed the tech down, so now I can-"

Percy: "Completely ignore them and carry on with your life?!"

Thomas: 'You're no fun :("

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Percy: "Oh blimey you look awful! Moreso than usual!"

Thomas, who's taken on bad coal: "Gee, thanks."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas: "I'm half tempted to make a break for Sodor...maybe I'll get lucky!"

Driver: "Or maybe you'll get us all killed!"

Thomas: "Death is better than "Campfire Night", Keith. If I hear one more song about the wonders of British colonialism and living by the social norm, I just might keel over."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas: "James, I know you're scared, but you have to trust me."

James: "You're already asking too much out of me, but go on."

Thomas: "I need you to bail Edward out of Darlington."

James: "WHAT-"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ryan: "Now why can't you be this sweet all the time?"

Thomas: "If I was, I wouldn't be half as interesting!”

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Henry: "If you rush across the viaduct, it'll collapse, and you won't have any passengers or train! What would you do then?!"

Thomas: "Run my train on time."

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Edward: "Oh, that bloody Spamcan is here!"

Gordon: "Quick Thomas, do the thing!"

Thomas: "I don't think growling at him is going to send him away...But I'd be damned if I didn't try it!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Diesel: "We need a distraction."

Thomas: "Great idea! Diesel, you roll out and show 'em your ugly mug while I go grab Percy!"

Title name

No this isn't an April Fools joke, I'm finally getting started with that "Narrator vs the Engines" idea from May of last year (yikes!), but I need a name for it. Idk when the first chapter will come out but it will come out sometime this year!

Claw of the Law’s “Dieselization” Effect explained

When Diesel 10 stole Lady’s whistle and her magic, he quickly used them to reshape the island in his own image. Instead of destroying every steam engine, however, he did steal their wheels.

Wheels play a large part in this au, as they allow for an engine to switch between a human shape and their engine shape. Without them, an engine would be stuck in their human shape and would have to rely on others to get around.

He made every steam engine a deal…if they agreed to become diesels, they’d be given their wheels back and would gain the ability to switch between “human” and engine. If they refused the deal, they’d be stuck in their human shape without their wheels and be forced to use other engines for transportation.

Many took up the deal, thinking they could outsmart 10 at his own game, but that choice proved to be there undoing. Unbeknownst to them, Dieselized steamers tend to follow 10’s every command.

It’s easy to tell if a Steam Engine has been dieselized, as their appearance and personality reflects it. Steam engines typically have colorful hair that reflects their paintjob, while Diesels have plain black hair with maybe a streak or two of color. Dieselized steam engines have dark hair with three streaks of color in it.

Their eyes also change, as the original eye color suddenly becomes two toned. The original eye color is on the bottom while a gold color sits on top of it. The Sclera (whites of the eye) become yellow as well.

Personality wise, a steam engine’s personality becomes swapped when they are dieselized. For example, when Gordon was dieselized, he went from being grandiose and bold to being quiet and shy (and a little unhinged). Whenever Henry was dieselized, he went from being kind and assertive to being a complete asshole who’s full of himself.

On top of the personality change, dieselized steamers don’t remember anything prior to their dieselization. They usually get a new “name” from Diesel 10. For example, Gordon is now named “04”, Henry is now “03”, James is "05", etc.

Lady and Thomas believe that it can be reversed, but they have to get Lady’s whistle back first. They also have to be careful as not to get dieselized themselves!
