About:
Hello hello, new followers and old! Welcome to the Little Western!
A quick intro: My name is Ray (any pronouns!), I've been a fan of Thomas for over 20 years but only recently got back into it as an adult. This blog is open for (appropriate) questions and discussion at all times, do not hesitate to hit me up. I love talkin' about these silly little engines! :^)
Tag List:
#human!au: switchers - Art from my ttte human AU, Switchers. All of my humanized designs are posted to my main blog but reblogged here for archival purposes! Any asks about the human characters will go under this tag as well.
#transmissions from the little western - All my original posts, both serious discussions and silly memes.
#engines in sidings - A collection of standalone ttte short stories by both @greatwesternway and myself posted on ao3. Please check them out, we're both extremely proud of them!
#little westssays - Get it, like... Little Western Essays? Whatever. All my essay posts. Typically character analysis, metatextual breakdowns, or commentaries on episode production as those are the topics I find most interesting.
#the future is still silver and black - Original work based on two real-life engines: CB&Q 9911-A, "Silver Pilot" and the Pioneer Zephyr. TFiSSaB is a history of these engines told through the format of them exchanging letters. I occasionally also draw humanized versions of these characters, but that's more for fun than anything. You can read the whole thing here!
#tfissab behind the scenes - Stuff that's not directly related to The Future is Still Silver and Black but which still falls under the umbrella such as research notes, photos from our trips to the museums, or other such miscellany. Basically anything we can't put on the website directly goes here!
Posts are generally tagged by fandom and type, characters are always tagged with just their names. Except for Gordon. Don't ask.
(Please don't tag me in tag memes or post chains on this blog, I'm not interested and I won't respond, sorry!)
