“People Need To Stop Undermining The Deep Love That Is In Platonic Relationships!”

Oh the unadulterated loathing of it all. (Yet they end up becoming close friends) (also want to add that Ryan starts out with his "overconfident and dismissive" personality that was originally planned for slotlt)

Them arguing in the evening and Ben being sick of it. He's probably thinking something along the lines of "bro let's just play a prank on him already, that's what we usually do when we don't like someone!"

Poor BoCo just wants one quiet night.

Oliver’s fear of fireworks was such a great concept why did they waste it on Samson?

places to read the railway series (and some other ttte related works)... FOR FREE!

so, I'm not sure if everyone on TTTE tumblr has gotten a chance to read the RWS, so I thought I'd post some links! Note that for some of these you'll need an Internet Archive account to check out the books as it's a virtual library. It's worth it, though! They have a LOT of books!

Internet archive 60th anniversary story collection - Only goes up to "The Twin Engines" but I do like that it contains the forewords. However, I believe those can be found on the TTTE wiki, so you may not find them necessary.

Internet archive Thomas the Tank Engine - the complete collection - All W. Awdry books in one!

All Christopher Awdry railway series books (except Thomas and his Friends)- This one's a pdf.

Internet archive The Island of Sodor, Its People, History and Railways - A non-picture book lore source that's rare to find physically. Also a pdf!

And, as a bonus...

Ongoing archive of Marvel Thomas magazines - This one's being run by @/KingoftheTWR on Twitter. I like reading these, they have quite a few original stories and I am especially fond of the "Write to: The Fat Controller" section! I suggest sorting them by name that way you can start at issue one and not have to run around the archive whenever some of them were uploaded out of order.

This playlist totally doesn't contain every railway series story

A lot of Chris' books have intros edited in which are annoying but it's whatever.

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.

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