I Adore These Two.

Drew this JNR D51 in art class as a little while ago! Behold Astrotrain- I mean Hiro, Master of the Railway

We love to see it

Sir Topham Hatt does NOT fw AI replacing human jobs.

Chat do we fw ThomStan? (Not the best name but I couldn't think of anything else, if there are other people who ship it is that the ship name?)

I just found a HUGE missed opportunity in Journey Beyond Sodor.

You know how Lexi, Theo, and Merlin are experimental engines. Well, do you know who is also one?

James.

I am hyperfixating on these two for some reason.

Brainstorming ideas for my ttte au whilst listening to Eternal Sunshine was really an experience.

Whenever people ask why I’m interested in the Victorian era I don’t quite know how to tell them that I grew up on ‘children’s’ books about a Victorian foundling who falls in love with her foster brother aged five, wants to run away to the circus, endures many hardships as a foundling, reunites with her birth mother who has changed her name to be with her daughter as a cook at the Foundling Hospital, is sent to work for a writer who tries to steal her life story to write a book, falls in love with a butcher’s apprentice, watches her mother die before becoming employed at a freak show as a mermaid and exposing a fake psychic, goes to the seaside to meet her biological father, runs away to the circus to become a ringmaster, escapes said circus with an abused acrobat child who was sold by her father to the circus, joins a music hall as a fake ventriloquist with said child, goes back home to her foster family for her foster father’s funeral and then her foster brother’s wedding, where the brother kisses her and tries to convince her to elope (she refuses - side note, another foundling was placed with that family and the brother tried to play out the same thing with that poor child) then becomes an actress with the acrobat child. Jacqueline Wilson was something else, and the Hetty Feather books are still my special interest.

i love Theo so much.

Happy Douglas day! 10/10!
