My favorite thing about Thomas the Tank Engine is that it canonically takes place in a train post-apocalypse where the Island of Sodor is the only safe zone in a totalitarian dystopia in which steam trains are routinely killed and their body parts are sold or cannibalized for repair

If you think I’m kidding you need to read the original books

[co-rp]

could you please direct me to a source? i would feel much better if this was validated.

[butch-king-frankenstein]

It took me so long to find this quote online but I did it because it’s so much darker than one might expect from Thomas the Tank Engine:

“…Engines on the Other Railway aren’t safe now. Their controllers are cruel. They don’t like engines any more. They put them on cold damp sidings, and then,” Percy nearly sobbed, “they…they c-c-cut them up.” -”The Bluebells of England.”  Stepney the Bluebell Engine.  Rev. Awdry, Wilbert.  London: Egmont Publishing, 1963.

This illustration, by Gunvor and Peter Edwards, accompanied the above text in the original book, and depicts a pair of unfortunate Other Railway engines moments before being disassembled with a blowtorch.

HOLY FUCK LOOK AT THE ONE IN THE BACKGROUND THEY TOOK ITS FUCKING FACE OMG

[zidane-xv]

the early thomas the tank engine books are pretty standard stuff. saccharine bubblegum type stories and illustrations. if you watched the show, it’s like that in book form. the second half of the railway series are so fucking dark and surreal i’m convinced they were a result of reverend wilbur awdry doing copious amounts of lsd and having hallucinations of his own death.

[butch-king-frankenstein]

Excuse me but the very first story in the Railway Series is about an engine who hides in a tunnel and refuses to run because he doesn’t want to get his paint job ruined in the rain, so railway management seals off the tunnel.

They eventually let him out because another engine breaks down or something, but the original plan was to just leave him in there forever.

[shulamithbond]

On the show, didn’t they also hook up one engine to a generator, so he’d never move again? That was literally one of the lines, I think. It’s on some other post on here. It was chilling.

[butch-king-frankenstein]

Yes!  This also happened in the books, to an engine referred to only as “No. 2″, but the television series applied the same scenario to an invented character named “Smudger”, in the episode “Granpuff”.

“Smudger,” said Duke. “Was a show-off. He rode roughly and often came off the rails. I warned him to be careful, but he took no notice.” “Listen, Dukie” he snared. “Who worries about a few spills?” “We do here! I said, but Smudger just laughed.” “Hahaha!” “Until one day, Manager said he was going to make him useful at last. Smudger stopped laughing then!” “W-w-why? What did he do?!” “He turned him into a generator. He’s still there behind our shed. He’ll never move again.”

[deducecanoe-deactivated20161213]

This is so fucked up

[unclewhisky-deactivated20150726]

No, listen.

Okay, so we see Railway Management doing all this shit, right, but supposedly it’s so much worse in the Other Railways? I mean, sure, you might get turned into a generator or bricked into a tunnel for not doing as you’re told, but at least you’re not cut up and sold for parts, right? It’s not so bad on the island of Sodor, right?

Or maybe that’s just what Railway Management wants the engines to think.

Maybe the island of Sodor is the real totalitarian regime, and the engine citizens (slaves) are fed propaganda, illustrated in hellish grays and sulfuric yellows, about how bad it is everywhere else, at all the Other Railways.

You are lucky to be an engine of Sodor.

Railway Management cares about you.

Trust Railway Management.

Stay on Your Track.

It Could Be So Much Worse.

BLESSED POST

[iwroteyoualoveletter]

Life, as spoken about by Megumi Ogata.

Around the end of December, Ogata-san released a slew of insightful tweets regarding life and how we interact with one another. I translated some of them for myself, and when I posted a YYH-related tweet earlier today, I realized I never shared my favorite of her year-end reflections. I hope you will find her words as encouraging as I do: 

“People, given life, live.”

Being alive, every day, there’s a lot to consider. But someday, I want you to feel this in your flesh and bones—

“You are alive for a reason”

For everyone. That’s definite.

In the midst of our inter-tangled lives, it’s definite.

You’ll understand someday. …someday.

That doesn’t mean you’re like an RPG hero you saw someday. It’s unique for each person’s being, for the you that exists now, the real you, “life-sized” in a particular place.

Maybe you think that’s boring.

But the ordinary person’s “major events” are more dramatic than those in a television drama.

They pile up.

But that’s a miracle.

They have an absolutely amazing value.

…me too.

As a person, as an actor (singer), I’m not exceptional. I’m not suited for it. Even as I believed this, I made it through the months and years.

But, now.

Being “given the chance to continue” — by fortune or fate, or any combination of factors, the meaning of it… the years accumulate.

From now, maybe I don’t get to live long.

Maybe by chance, I get to live a super long time? (Laughs) Whichever it is, I wanted to give thanks that I’ve been able to live my life to this point.

Treasure each day.

Go at each day with force.

Think about what you want to do now and go forward thinking of the path that makes it possible.

Let’s do it! Everyone!

Suddenly, “I can’t do it.”

Before that day comes, you must do what you can.

Live to the best of your ability.

You can’t do anything more than that—

Put it into practice yourself first (that’s expected lol)… “three steps forward, two steps back” is expected too. Even so, the people who are doing their best to “take one step forward each day,” I want to support them. Always!

“Let’s do our best!”

That phrase might come off like harassment in the workplace in our society. I’m going to keep saying it though. Because it’s a great phrase.

“Let’s do our best!”

I’m doing my best to live too.

Let’s keep on living together!

Next year too…!

Well, those are my end of the year nighttime musings tweeted as they came.(laughs)

Thank you for this year too.

y’all: peter was able to stop bucky’s fist in civil war bc bucky heard peter’s voice, realized he was a child, then weakened his punch bc he was so worried about hurting a child uwu

me, eating pistachios: y’all know peter can canonically lift up to 75 tons, right. y’all know bucky’s fist is easy as hell for peter to block, right. y’all know bucky didn’t know shit about peter being a child and was just shocked that someone was able to so easily block his punch, right. y’all know that, right.

[nervousangelconnoisseur-deactiv]

naw fuck that bucky’s punches aren’t easy to block, it’s WAY funnier if peter blocked a full force punch from bucky, who only a few seconds later realizes he’s a kid as soon as peter opens his mouth

that’s the face of a man who went from “holy shit he blocked my punch?” to “holY SHiT a 12 YEARoLD BLOCKED mY PUNCH???” in 3 seconds flat.

Next second is “i triED TO PUNCH A CHILD”

MBTI & Youtubers (x) Simone Giertz: ENTP

“I got interested in building robots, and I wanted to teach myself about hardware.

But building things with hardware, especially if you’re teaching yourself, is something that’s really difficult to do.

It has a high likelihood of failure and moreover, it has a high likelihood of making you feel stupid.

And that was my biggest fear at the time. So I came up with a setup that would guarantee success 100% of the time.

With my setup, it would be nearly impossible to fail. And that was that instead of trying to succeed, I was going to try to build things that would fail.

And even though I didn’t realize it at the time, building stupid things was actually quite smart.

Because as I kept on learning about hardware, for the first time in my life, I did not have to deal with my performance anxiety.

And as soon as I removed all pressure and expectations from myself, that pressure quickly got replaced by enthusiasm, and it allowed me to just play.”
