I Love Tumblr Bc I Can Be So Pathetic And Annoying On Here And It’s Fine

No thoughts, head empty, I love Henry

as much as i love the idea/headcanon of manfred being an absolute disappointment of a father to both franziska and miles (mainly miles), another idea i love but barely see is von karma being a good father to them all throughout their childhood. the 'perfect' father, even. what if he had high expectations of their grades, but overall was seemingly perfect father to miles and franziska. supporting their interests, praising high marks, showing affection to them, etc.

with miles specifically, what if he helped him through his DL-6 nightmares? showed genuine pride in miles for becoming a prosecutor?

its a silly thought but still

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

a reminder that

• the Rev Awdry named Mavis after his neighbor

• Daisy and Mavis were the only diesels to have a redemption arc

• Daisy was the first diesel owned by the NWR, and the first diesel to not be prejudiced against steam engines (every female diesel would follow this trend)

• Chris Awdry chose a pair of female diesels to succeed Gordon

• despite both Daisy and Mavis undergoing similar character development, they are unique in personality. They are also friends and don't try to undercut one another

• Annie and Clarabel are written as more sensible than Thomas, the Skarloey coaches are written as unruly and mischievous to their engines, and Henrietta is written as Toby's equal (character diversity)

• the Rev Awdry's wife is the whole reason we have the books, and ergo, the TVS

The man never cared about gender. He cared about good characters.

AaaAAAA

Queer 👏 people 👏 are 👏 not 👏 all 👏 fucking 👏 activists 👏

Stop quizzing us on queer history and asking us questions we aren’t qualified to answer about the world and about politics and about our identities

Stop trying to back us into a corner so you can justify your discrimination on the basis that we don’t know what we’re talking about or can’t “defend” ourselves to you

Stop treating every queer person that stands up and says “I want to be treated like a person” as if they’re an activist

Cut that bullshit out

Marginalised people just want to exist and be happy

I don’t know everything, and that doesn’t make me undeserving of your respect or my human rights you fucker

I don’t even owe you the stuff I do know- I still am entitled to basic fucking respect

TLDR; Queer people shouldn’t have to be historians or scientists for you to not be a fucking dick

This is why I don’t tell 99% people im bisexual

Please make art. You don't have to bare your soul or make a masterpiece, you can be silly and you can be derivative if you want. You don't even have to show it to anyone. Just please make something, it's so good for you

I need to follow less people permanently arguing with strangers and more people saying shit like "I would be the first person to sit down with Thomas the Tank Engine and truly listen."
