HOUSEKEEPING
Call me Lyric. I'm relatively new to the fandom, but I'm excited to be here.
I self-ship with Gordon.
I have a hard time distinguishing train ages. If a character is a minor/meant to represent a minor, please tell me.
DNI:
Bigots (racism, transphobia, homophobia, take your pick)
Proshippers (seriously, fuck off)
Nazis (self explanatory)
MAPS/Pedos (again, self explanatory)
If I fuck up, let me know. You might have to explain it to me, but I'm willing to learn.
none of you get to hear about the Fargo AU I've meticulously planned, and by 'meticulously planned' I mean 'I stayed up an hour past my usual bedtime to do research and throw this together'
Meet one of the first female drivers on Sodor, Lyric!
American.
32.
Terminal babyface. Most of the other drivers don't take her seriously, and neither do their engines.
Graduated at the top of her class. This is her first real railroading job.
Here to replace Gordon's driver and is currently being trained to take over.
Gordon is not happy about this.
Friends with Edward and his driver.
She and Gordon get off to a rocky start, but they grow closer with time.
Very excitable!
Chronically ill, physically disabled.
But she's not gonna let that stop her.
I want to draw locomotives. The bad news is I have no idea how to draw locomotives.
Does anyone in the tags have references for how I can Get Good? I've always been Nervous about drawing vehicles, but now's as good a time as any to learn.
of course the first female engine we get in the series is a high-falutin' dame who doesn't want to actually do any work because it's 'bad for her swerves'...
BUT, I support women's wrongs as well as women's rights.
hi.
I wanna kiss Gordon.
g'night.
Train Eater - The Metal Gear Solid AU
Alternate title: "I Spent Three Hours Googling Trains To Make This As Period Accurate As Possible And Now My Search History Is Shot"
The Boss is a US Army 'General Pershing' steam locomotive, based on the US Army 101 locomotive that was in service for three wars.
Big Boss is an RSD-1 diesel-electric locomotive. Punished Snake is also an RSD-1 locomotive. But Big Boss is a model E1645 and Punished Snake is an E1646--two variations made for wartime production, but difficult to tell apart unless you know what you're looking for.
Solid, Liquid, and Solidus are all RS-2 diesel-electric locomotives, all built as 'successors' to the RSD-1. Solidus was made out of experimentally treated metal, but he oxidized faster than the others, making him appear older. This process took longer for Solid, but eventually caught up to him too.
Revolver Ocelot is a Russian locomotive class Ye, one of the many steam engines strewn across Soviet Russian railways during the Cold War. Unfortunately, he can't be a bullet train because it wouldn't fit the time period, and that would just be stupid.
Kazuhira Miller is an interesting case, but I figured it out. He is an 'American' locomotive built during the Meiji Era in Japan. That is actually a thing they did, so I get to use it.
Metal Gear is the SS-24 Scalpel, the only train in existence known to carry and launch ICBMs.
I've discovered that Percy makes the best meme faces.
told my non-trainhead friends about my self shipping and planned characters.
it did, in fact, go well!
I GOT IT.
The song came on and it all clicked into place for me.
My self-shipping tag with Gordon is "Hey There, Mister Blue" from Mr. Blue Sky.
told my non-trainhead friends about my self shipping and planned characters.
For my Gordon self insert, I'm thinking a brand-new driver who's going to be taking over for one of his old ones who is moving away. Gordon does not like that or my girl at all, because she is brand-new at this and is going to make mistakes, but the two will be on better terms as time goes on.
Addendum to the last post:
GORDON IS MINE
As an older person in the fandom speaking to certain older people in the fandom:
Don't be creepy to minors.
Don't bully minors.
Don't bully anyone.
Don't spam diagnoses at people like schizophrenic or narcissist.
DON'T BE A BIGOT.
We're older. We're supposed to know better.
If anyone wants to look up details about a specific steam engine, I'd really recommend visiting steamlocomotive.info!
I use this website whenever I'm curious about a specific engine or need to see how many of a specific locomotive class are still around. It's really useful and I highly recommend it!
inligting oor stoomlokomotiewe
Many of the Croatian steam locomotives are on display, but there are two that are in operation!
some things did not age well.
idk who I dislike more, this dickhead cop or sir topham hatt
