Close Call

So are we gonna call the 3rd revival of Moon "Newer Moon" or "Moon^3." Or alternatively, we could revive Nexus instead to add a bit of flare (/silly)

Just kind of what I think would happen if there was a confrontation between this Eclipse and Moon B) I genuinely don’t think Moon’s dying again, but he most certainly is going to get a bit roughed up, surely.

This one was a bit quicker, I was messing around with a faster way of shading/lineart (usually my shading takes forever, but I'm trying to cut down on that time. That's also why whenever I post a sketch on my story I finish it like a month later LMAOOOO). I like how it turned out and it was my first time trying the dry gouache brush, yay! ^^

Extras:

My pose thumbnails always look like abstract scribbles, but specifically here because I was struggling with it. I wanted Moon's face to be visible but it looked awkward with the angle I was tryna do, alas.

Newer Moon (/Moon V3) as well cause I joked about it earlier. The design isn't anything special (it's pretty much just a placeholder outfit to draw the little chibis), but I think an AU where Moon kicks the bucket for a third time would be so interesting because, at this point, Sun and Moon would've completely swapped roles personality wise compared to the start of the series. I imagine Moon V3 having a very similar personality to early Nexus but with a much more mellow energy.

Every time I draw something Infection related, I think of Telltale's The Walking Dead Game. I bring this up because I can totally see Infected AU Dazzle as Clem and her Moon as Lee. (Lee should be Sun, but Dazzle's Sun is the first to get bitten so doesn't really work) (MASSIVE TWDG SPOILERS IN THE LINK but here's the specific scene I'm thinking about when I suggest this)

Speedpaint:

I had a rough time making Moon's hands look like he was actually pushing him away, still not suuuper happy with the hands BUT this is meant to be a quick drawing so I let it go.

I don't usually do green tinted stuff cause I'm not a huge fan of green unless its harmonious. Though I suppose if Gaster is green I will actually have to get used to all shades of green, even my least favs.

(My least fav is olive green/military olive, especially in my own art -- I rarely use it for that reason)

Song:

“Rust knows, it drips the seeds it sows”

”It needs the fate it chose at the beginning”

[jayde-jots]

If Moon does die (which I'm pretty sure he won't), I've kept the name Novus in the back of my mind as an alternative to Nexus's well... nexus. It means "new" in Latin and still keeps that space-sounding name theme.

I need help!

Yo! Sorry for the inactivity everyone for quite awhile only to jump at you with this, but I need some help. I'm currently writing my last assessment for the trimester, which is an argumentative essay, and I'm having trouble finding some actual reliable data on 1 specific question-

Have you watched or read the original Dragon Ball series?

Yes! All the way through!

Some of it, I've only seen bits and pieces.

No, none of it.

Voting ended onMay 9

I know its a strange thing to ask, but please, if you consider yourself a Dragon Ball fan please vote on this so I can have some data! I know it's a generally known fact across the fans that not many of them have actually watched its original series, but the problem is I haven't been able to find a reliable number. So I've turned to this and getting my own data. I look forward to seeing the results!

The big engines get their hugs too

James like his chin scratched more and Henry likes his nose patted

Gordon doesn’t want to admit that he likes these face hugs

[jayde-jots]

We hug the engines, boop their noses and squish their cheeks on this blog!

Man... I just decided to take a trip down memory lane, and after seeing this again, it makes me realise I haven't drawn my copter soldier girl in forever. Even after sending her to be trapped in my mythic au, I haven't done much. When I get my next break maybe I'll draw her again for old times sake.

Prototype is LUCKY Doey is gone in Poppy playtime

[jayde-jots]

And I'm sad that this is probably the reason why. Doey is essentially immune to harm unless you freeze him first, and because the Prototype's style of attack is to impale or stab, "Mr. Childs-Nightmare-Fuel" would be at a huge disadvantage if they were to go on 1v1. It's more than likely why he manipulated us into causing Safe Haven to explode, because while he couldn't get at Doey physically, he could get at him mentally very easily. And if we happen to take him out in the process like we have 3 times before? Well then we've taken out his biggest competition. Unless there is another dough toy in the factory we're unaware of, there is officially nobody left who could end him quickly in a fight. I rly miss Doey, he was the one I related to the most and is my favourite. But with the Doctor's revival and the continuation of the game, I'm holding out hope that Doey could be alive.

“I would pay to see Donald and Douglas interacting with Bill and Ben, twins interacting you know?”

[jayde-jots]

Big brain move... get all the twins, separate them, and just have 2 twin clubs where they talk about their sibs. Donald and Douglas Bill and Ben Annie and Clarabel Arry and Bert

Ok so James still has living siblings but he’s not too found of them because they’re all vain (irony)

Also because I saw a headcannon somewhere that I forgot (sorry) that mass produced engines share similar faces.

Whoever James and his siblings share not just a FACE but a VOICE too for some reason.

Also whoever named them went “Well the first one was named James… so lets give some of them names with J”

Yeah they were a dick kinda.

James’s siblings list (might change later)

Jake

Jesse

Jimmy

Jack

Vanessa

Ruby

Casey

Cassie

Mia

James is the oldest (obviously)

However obviously not ALL his siblings survived being scraped as there were 128 of them.

Also they all love and adore their big brother but James doesn’t really want anything to do with them. Makes sense since he’s trying to be his own person but he shares a face and voice with 9 other engines.

Also in this au Donald and Douglas are the same, sharing a voice but Douglas is quieter.

Here’s what their livery’s look like:

Jake : dark orange

Jesse : Purple

Jimmy : dark green

Jack : brown

Vanessa: navy blue

Ruby : dark red

Casey: L&YR black with red and white stripes

Cassie: L&YR black with red stripes

Mia : green

Also they all appear on the island at some point because Sir topham assumed that since Gordon is depressed about all his siblings being scraped except Scotsman that the other engines with siblings might so due misunderstandings James’s siblings get to be temporarily on loan.

Despite the fact that all of them work worse than James. Like all of them technically suck at their jobs.

[jayde-jots]

I've got a similar head cannon for James myself; only the backstory is very different.

For me I took heavy inspiration from this audio drama by Master of the Lemons-

And The Unlucky Tugs complete history of James-

I went an entirely more dramatic route for how I characterise James thanks to a few key facts, 1 being best said from a quote direct from Tug; "-But he's just some mougle, a medium-sized general-purpose engine built for mixed traffic work, a common workhorse. He's nothing special; he so wants to believe he's a flashy Porsche, but in reality, he's just a Honda Civic with a flashy paint job." And also from the whole scene of James's nightmare in The Token, the voice in his head telling him he's disposable, a part of a small engine pollacy, that he's a drop in the bucket. And then the 2nd fact being that yes, James has over 100 siblings, but he's also 3- a modified version. As a background I like to imagine that James's old railway treated him as mentioned above, just awash with his siblings in a life that didn't value individuality. A cog in the machine and nothing less. So when James gets chosen to become modified, he suddenly stands out; he becomes a different-shaped cog, or a drop in the bucket that's not water. And his siblings were jealous as hell. They were so angry that James got all this special treatment for the sake of an experiment, regular maintenance, special consideration for work, and none of them got the same thing. Still forced to do the same back-breaking labour, worked to the frames, and not get any regular basic check-ups. And worst of all, I bet James was the only one to get a name. Sir Topham didn't name James like Percy, James came to Sodor with a name already attached. I bet that would've made them all absolutely furious at their brother. James probably became an outcast and ruthlessly bullied into the dirt every day by his family, and because the railway probably couldn't keep up the tailored maintenance for James by the time the trials had ended, he was probably sold off to Sodor for that reason. I like to come back to the engines family drama often, and James I just picture shutting down all line of conversation about his family if anybody brings it up. Lord have mercy if heaven forbid one of his siblings actually came to Sodor, James would straight up fight them to derail, to hell with what the fat controller would say or do to him, he'd want it to be very clear that his sibling is not welcomed or liked.

[imitation-steamroller]

Suddenly remembered that the Trainspotters Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Engines exists and I can't help but wonder what it entails. We know that it prevents the engines from being punished physically, but what else does it cover?

We know from Thomas' Day Off and Thomas the Babysitter that the engines can have days off and breaks, but is that mandated by the Society or something they just happen to get?

[jayde-jots]

I imagine they'd be the ones responsible for ensuring an engine's more human health is met. As an example, while the steam/diesel works are responsible for an engine's engineering physical health, I believe the society's job is to oversee an engine's more human traits. Like things related to their faces and their mental health since on a human that would all require to be seen by a doctor of some kind. I think their most common service would be providing counseling or therapy, but they might also provide the giant medical equipment to treat an engine's face. If for example an engine has a crash and their face gets wounded, the society would send out their doctors to close cuts, fix maybe broken noses, give eye tests, and if it's been particularly gnarly, give plastic surgery. I also imagine they'd be responsible for providing diagnoses for disabilities and manufacturing aids, Whiff needing glasses comes to mind. But like I said, I think their most common/popular service would be counseling or therapy. I would find it very hard not to believe a lot of the engines on Sodor have a decent bit of trauma behind their literal decades of service, let's not forget that even our titchular numbers through 1 to 6 are all over 100 years old, and even a lot of the diesels are 60+ years old in the present day. From surviving, serving, and even being built for the 2 world wars, to watching, caring, and celebrating the humans they've built bonds and connections with pass with time, and not even getting started on their own trauma from crashes, accidents, to even touching the topic of scrapped family and firends, I can easily see all of the engines that are over 20 years old having some bad experience they don't like to talk about. Even in present day for example- Pip and Emma, the newest and currently youngest mainline engines on Sodor, would be having concerns about their siblings since their class has been stopped from servicing to London anymore and are being replaced by newer models. The two must find it terrifying to watch as every day they arrive to London only to see fewer of their siblings arrive anymore, watching them slowly fade out and suddenly become the oldest engines standing at the platform. In events like that is where I can see Sir Topham Hatt getting them counseling, cutting the head of the snake off before it has the chance to get ugly when the girls eventually hear their siblings are being scrapped. That's what I imagine the society would be there for.

[jayde-jots]

I have to admit, because they are such a badass writer, Arianna was 100% inspired by @firecooking's character Zaffre. When I read her introduction fic my first thought was what if Zaffre was like a "True Zed Stack", a really evil, devious, venomous girl who could charm her way out of anything, almost like if she was OG Zorran's twin sister. So I slapped that personality onto Ari with the French included. Your stuff is awesome Fire! Never let anyone else tell you otherwise!
