I've got a headcanon that humanized Brewster's handshakes and hugs are TIGHT SO MUCH THAT IT REALLY HURTS and he doesn't control it. There's only Speedy, Action Chugger and Zack who can withstand such a strong handshake. The rest literally SUFFER after Brewster, despite the fact that he behaves more gently with girls XD
Brewster & Speedy are like a kind of a grandfather and grandson duo for me and I can see how Brewster shows Speedy how to play minecraft and they both would love playing minecraft even if Speedy has some struggles in computer proficiency
maybe i'll made a lil sketch out of this idea soon :P
Brewster is the smartest one when Koko x Wilson are being silly
Koko is the smartest one when Brewster x Wilson are being silly
Wilson is the silliest one when Brewster x Koko are being smart
Hodge is the one who is unlucky enough to get sick in the summer. Zephie is the first to find out that he is sick and tells the others. while Wilson, Koko with Hoot & Toot pester a sleepy Hodge wanting to take care of him, Brewster tries to convey to them that all Hodge needs now is REST. (Hodge looks at him as a savior...)
yeah I like thinking Brewster & Hodge are the autism solidarity duo
Hey so quick question. I know I have plenty of stories in my lineup but
Which One Should I add?
CalleyxJion AU
MorganxLori
Scars That Won't Heal
Dunbar sat under a tree. His fingers curled around a pen. He felt somebody standing in front of him. His eyes looked up. He saw Jackman standing in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly. "Can I help you?"
Jackman gulped. "Yeah. I was wondering if you and I could talk?"
Dunbar lifted an eyebrow. He closed his book. He motioned for Jackman to speak. He could tell that the man seemed nervous. "Has Calley always been hostile? I feel like no matter what I do she's-"
"She's gone through a lot, boy. Her demons are some the worst she's ever had to face. I think you know the cause of it." gruffed Dunbar.
"I'd be ashamed to say I don't quite understand." countered Jackman.
"You don't remember? Do you?" asked Dunbar.
Jackman shook his head. Dunbar exhaled slowly. "It took time but when the whole thing of Chug Patrol being set up here came, she heard you were being sent here. That's when it clicked. Years ago, she was very pregnant. Scared when she arrived in Three Horns. Looking for work. I took her in." he began to explain.
"She mentioned she was alone. Had been for a while. She had loved a man dearly only for him to turn his back on her when her child came into the picture." Dunbar's gaze fell on him. "A man matching your description. Seeing her visibly upset with you being here connected the dots for me."
Jackman searched his memory. He had faint images of a woman. It dawned on him. Calley looked very different from the woman in his head. The woman he saw had fire and light in her eyes. Calley had no light in her eyes. When she worked it was like she had to. The woman in his head spoke of a grand vision. Her face was blurry.
Jackman then felt a memory seep into the back of his mind. His throat grew dry as it played.
"You have any idea how this will set us back?! We've worked too hard for life to change now!" he shouted.
Calley looked confused. Her features had sadness flash across them. She stared up at his once warm blue eyes. Shock lit them up. "I can't do this. Not right now! We are so close!"
"We can work it out." she comforted. Her voice shook. "We'll find a way to make our new lif-"
"In this fucking world?! I think the fuck not!" he snapped.
Her eyes narrowed. "You are being a selfish ass! "
"A selfish ass?! I'm being realistic!" he shouted back.
Her fists tightened by her side. Tears streamed down her face. "I thought you-"
"I love you. I do. I really do but I can't do this." he clenched the sides of his head.
"Can't do what? The child or me?" she growled.
Jackman's eyes narrowed. His voice grew harsh. "That's not fair. Don't play this game."
"Or what? You afraid I'll shatter your precious little fucking dream? Hurt your ego? C'mon Jacky boy what is it?" challenged Calley.
"Now your being a conniving little bitch." Jackman loomed over her. Calley reached for the amulet. She took it off. She pushed it into his chest.
Jackman stared at her. "wha-"
Ice filled her voice. It shook. "Let me make it easy then." She then stormed off. Jackman stood in silence as the vision ended. He wanted to make the past him reach for her. To stop her. To yank her back and tell her he didn't mean it.
He thought about the days that had happened afterwards. She was cold then too. Rarely wanted anything to do with him even on patrols. Jackman had told himself that it was for his future. That it would be best if he didn't get close to her again.
Dunbar eyed him. Jackman snapped back to reality. His hands tightened. "I get it now..." he croaked.
"Do you?" asked Dunbar.
Jackman nodded slowly. He turned to go. "Dunbar..."
"Yes?"
"Thank you." uttered Jackman as he walked away.
Calley was sitting in the office. She clicked her pen as she stared at the computer monitor. She jumped hearing the door open. Jackman stood before her. Calley tsked. A soft hiss left her mouth.
"Calley, I-I spoke to Dunbar." he began.
He saw her tense behind the desk. Despite how short she was, she looked beautiful. Scary but beautiful in the same breath. Her eyes darkened in anger. Jackman swallowed. "He told me that when you came here. You...you went through something. Back at the academy. There was woman I knew then. She looked like you. Sounded like you. It didn't click until he told me that woman was you."
She looked away from him. Her pen getting pushed further into the desk. "Oh yes and we had a wonderful conversation about how I ruined your future." she spat.
"I know. I..I wished I could take it all back. I wished I hadn't of-" A lump formed in his throat.
"You never loved me...did you?" asked Calley.
"I-"
"Be honest." pushed Calley.
Jackman looked down. "i loved you. Dearly. You were a light in the dark. You kept me together. Grounded and reminded me that I could always be better."
Calley rolled her eyes. She kept her head turned away. He got closer to her. He saw her tense up. It didn't hit him but he saw scars of all sorts on her. Bruises that looked to have healed with time. "I can't imagine what you've been through since we parted ways."
"Get on with it, Jackman."
"I'm sorry, Calley. I truly am. I should have not of let my fear take over. I was a coward and a jerk. I thought then it was best if I just didn't stay with you." His hand touched his other arm.
The silence hung in the room. He got closer. Calley tried not to look at him. She felt the walls she kept trying to put up slowly give way. "I did love you, Calley."
Calley swallowed. He saw her throat bob. She let out a shaky breath. "I spent years of my life afterwards hating myself." she whispered. "Thinking I wasn't good enough. I wasn't worth anything. I told myself that when Calem got older I would-"
Jackman pulled up a chair. He knew what she meant. His hands snaked across the table. He reached for her. Calley at first seemed scared. Like he was going to strike her. Calley reared back. Her hands near her shaking. He retracted only for her to grip his hands.
Calley began crying. Tears streamed down her face. He tucked his hands over one of hers. "Someone hurt you. Didn't they?" he asked gently.
She nodded slowly. "Convinced myself I deserved it." she rasped.
He shook his head. "No. No you didn't. You shouldn't of punished yourself for me being shitty towards you."
She sniffed. He held her hand up to his face. "I promise you. While I am still breathing. I am not going to leave you again. I will not hurt you like that ever."
Calley eyed him. She trembled. "You promise?"
He nods. "I promise." He then kissed the back of her hand. "You have my word."
I'm a bit bored. Any Chuggington headcannons you'd like to share?
I don't usually list these by complete random but here are some I've been meaning to get out that I can share here as well as a small few I've previously established to various extents but I'll reiterate here:
Tootington in my headcanon uses the set for The Depot as seen in Chuggington's pilot from 2006, albeit the tracks being changed to the design in the final show and other modifications, such as added areas for The Roundhouses, Training Yard, Repair, Service and Refueling Yard and Chug Patrol HQ.
Astra, my main OC, grew up here with various other young chuggers, all of which found their own paths like her being invited to Chuggington's Chug Patrol. She was sad to leave Tootington and her old friends, especially after a near-fatal incident that occured in Tootington depot permantely putting her old Chug Patrol mentor out of commission and into museum preservation, but was still happy for all of them and their futures and they promised they'd keep in touch. (More on this when I get more OCs finalized) (And nobody dies from this, it's okay!)
Astra is extremely close with the main three since moving to Chuggington, and also becomes best friends with Zephie. But as she and Wilson are on Chug Patrol together, she's really closest to him, and she is protective of Wilson like a little brother
In my headcanon, Brewster has a british voice in both UK and US dubs, one, because of his basis, and two, I feel it ultimately suites him better than his voice in the American dub. This is heavily reflected in his dialouge too. Also, unlike Wilson and Koko who ideally sound like their original UK voice actors, (Koko was never recasted in both dubs of the original series anyway) my ideal VA for Brewster is Toby Davies (later changed to Toby Baddeley) from the Advanced Training era, but Charlie George was still very good too (I do have a my own bit of nostalgia for Miles J. Harvey, but in my opinion he sounds better in the Advanced Training era. And as for Jacks Dean from Tales From The Rails... yeah hi hello Herschend Studios that is NOT a Brewster voice at all Herschend I know you had a poor budget but what the hell were you thinking jesus christ I will never be over this)
I've been meaning to add more to Koko and Hanzo's dynamic (Out of the three trainees and their S4 mentors, it was the least expanded on, and Tales From The Rails failed absolutely miserably in that regard) Anyways, sometimes in between their passenger runs and training, they spend the spare time they have together doing more calming things like meditation, and sightseeing. And even Koko as energetic as she is admits it's nice to slow down once in a while
Since Chug Patrol's introduction we've never had the chance to see Calley doing anything outside of that due to the seasons being shorter, even despite Ludorum getting lucky with S4. As the appointed first responder of Chug Patrol Calley prefers staying close to CPHQ, so in her spare time from Chug Patrol, she mainly still does shunting around the depot, like she did in the classic era, but she does not swap in and out between her Chug Patrol attire and her original look like the trainees. While Calley doesn't do completely random jobs in her time away from Chug Patrol like Wilson and Astra unless absolutely necessary, she's maybe a weee bit of a workaholic with all that said.
While Old Puffer Pete struggles remembering the names of all the young chuggers, not just the trainees, he canonically has no problems remembering everyone else's names, even the newer characters, even with his continuing age. Eventually he does start getting the trainees' names right more and more frequently, to the point he immediately corrects himself the instance he does get their names wrong, but this is mainly just Wilson, Brewster and Koko. At that point he remembers Hodge, Zephie and Emery perfectly fine. But Astra is so much newer so he still struggles with her! (She doesn't mind at all though)
I've been trying to write a backstory for Harry and Hamish based on their class, which had a very problematic history of being faulty and outshone by competitors IRL. Basically they fled the US to escape the risk of being withdrawn for scrap before finally breaking down, and being stranded for a number of years before eventually they were taken in by Skipper Stu, to work alongside him and Russ at Chuggington Docks to this day.
I'm a bit bored. Do you have any headcannons about //spins wheel// Action Chugger you could give out?
Ooh.. Action Chugger... ok this may be a bit tricky, I may go back and make a more 'finalized' post for this on Art Hub, but here goes:
So I think Action Chugger's origins may be a little something along the lines of "The Adventures Of Nicholas The Super Train"
Except the major difference is that since Action Chugger wears the "full-fledged" plaque all the other older chuggers have throughout the series, it's likely he did spend time as a trainee in Chuggington, before moving away somewhere where he was rebuilt into the flying jet-powered engine we've always known him as to this day
(The Chuggington wiki has not seemed to have settled on an exact basis for Action Chugger but I assume he canonically was electric based on his shape and what the wiki listed)
Other than that, all else I have for Action Chugger at the moment is that his shear new power from being rebuilt into a 'super chugger' caught the attention of the film crew we always see him with, and thus his career as a film star was born
I've mentioned making a Chuggington fanseries in the future once I get my hands on the proper resources to learn 3D modeling and animation, and I'd like to make a few episodes where we actually experience a plot of an Action Chugger movie, probably some dream sequence Brewster or Wilson have or something like that, kinda like those unhinged fatansy sequences in the Big World Big Adventures era of Thomas, except they're actually a full episode or "special" episode like the S4-5 ones, and not completely stupid
I also headcanon Action Chugger's US voice sounding like Pax Baldwin from the UK dub, but American. Looking back, Action Chugger's US voice sounded kinda goofy ngl. I think Dave Berry from Tales From The Rails was a bit better than John Pohlhammer, but I think Pax sounds more ideal for him
As a character though, Action Chugger was... actually established pretty well for what he was, both original and Tales From The Rails continuity, but I may have more to add to him someday
