Okay so I decided that the fixation won and I am now making a whole sideblog dedicated to Thomas the Tank Engine posting, and it'll be active as long as I'm trapped in the fixation LMAO

NOTE TO MINORS: This blog is run by an adult. Liking/reblogging posts is okay and at your discretion. However, please do not attempt to send private messages to this blog or my main blog, or try to engage in personal conversation with me. In turn, I will not send private messages or engage in personal conversation from this sideblog or my main blog. This blog is mainly just here to post and make memes about Thomas the Tank Engine and ramble like I have a conspiracy board behind me about talking trains

If BWBA is where Bob and Terry go from friends to lovers then JBS is where they go from co-workers to friends. Sometimes the pair that steals their engine back and escapes the Steelworks together sticks together

The night where Thomas escaped the Steelworks and hid in a siding until morning..... that was Bob and Terry's "There's only one bed" moment except they're two bros chilling in Thomas' cab 0 feet apart because there's barely any room to sleep comfortably with two people

Not to talk about the reboot again but even if Edward wasn't pushed as a main character anymore, I hope that means that Wellsworth becomes known as "Edward's Station" again. Like if people want to see Edward or something they mention going to Edward's Station

Misunderstanding...

Okay my temporary tag about anything wrt Thomas and his crew (specifically my versions of them) will be "Bloggs Posting". Otherwise I'll just use "ttte driver" and "ttte fireman"

[into-the-firebox-it-goes]

Someone: I think you're thinking too much about Thomas' driver and fireman-

Me: No. Here's Thomas' fireman putting his hand on the driver's shoulder

[into-the-firebox-it-goes]

Okay for real I think the BWBA is the worst one to think about in terms of "What were the driver and fireman thinking" because Thomas didn't like. Make them come on the boat to Senegal with him. Right? They didn't just spend a month on a boat with only the clothes on their backs and then several months more without any other belongings, right???? They surely had at least enough time to pack for the trip??? Right????

[into-the-firebox-it-goes]

Thomas' entire journey was basically Sodor -> boat to Senegal -> land travel to Tanzania -> boat to Brazil -> land travel to California -> boat to China -> land travel to India -> land travel all the way back to Sodor

At the very least, Thomas was gone for six months (if not more), which means his driver and fireman were gone for six months. And not only that, Nia joined him on the trip, meaning her driver and fireman were also along for the ride for the whole time

Considering Sir Topham Hatt could never catch up to them, that means he didn't have any contact with the drivers either. Which meant they were wholly on their own up until someone actually spotted them in India and went out of their way to contact the railway back in Sodor, which is likely when contact could finally be established

[into-the-firebox-it-goes]

Theory: The reason why Thomas was doing all this work for random railways around the world was so that his crew could get paid and use the money to prepare for travelling to the next country

Speaking of the reboot faces, I did see someone say that Mavis' reboot face kinda reminds them of Britt Allcroft, and that would actually be neat if it's true. The thing is it's also a huge whiplash compared to her TVS face (which I liked for its simplicity)

Seeing the old Charlie toy and the new Charlie toy side by side is like seeing pictures of a trans woman before she started HRT and then pictures of her after (beautiful, happy)

Thomas during World War II trying to work extra hard to make sure he delivers supplies meant for the war effort on time: I won't run away from helping the war effort! If I did, I wouldn't be really useful!

Joe Bloggs and Tom Cobley, hearing this from the cab, flashing back to 1915:

[into-the-firebox-it-goes]

The real question is how does Thomas react to Joe saying "btw you were never supposed to be on Sodor at all, we stole you and brought you here"

I think Thomas would be confused at first because he had such a great past few decades, what do you mean he was never meant to be there??? But in the end he would understand that that time still mattered. He helped build the railway. He has his own branchline. He's made so many friends. Whatever he was supposed to do doesn't really matter anymore, especially because it was for a war that has long ended. Whatever would have happened would not have resulted in the same engine he is today. Also it would be easier to swallow because the Allies won the war
