You can't just allude to "the backhanded compliment TFC gave Edward" in some magazine story and not explain 😭

I was waiting for someone to ask about this because I heard someone read the story ages ago.

Timestamp 3:50 is the bit. 😂

Edward is a good sport and I love that.

Here’s your excuse to share whatever headcanons you want!

Ok cor blimey. This is gonna be a long one. For the sake of this not being infinitely long, I won't include shipping headcannons.

This list includes general and au specific headcannons. It is also very long. You have been warned.

• Big Mickey has talked about his life when he was at Bigg City Harbour once, and never again because Carly and Cranky were a little too disturbed by his description of the events of Mutiny (most of the harbour sets on fire/ blows up and Mickey falls into the ocean)

• Nia was really cold towards everyone apart from Thomas at first because she was incredibly homesick and the rain and cold of Britain was not helping.

• James was the second Sodor resident to gain Nia's friendship. No one but James understands why Nia went to James for help. They have a mentor/ student kind of relationship. So do Gordon and Rebecca, though with them it's even more debatable who's the mentor.

• All of the diesels decorate Sidney every Christmas. This was started a year after the events of the episode "The Missing Christmas Decorations" (Awful episode, I know) because Paxton thought it would be fun to decorate Sidney again. The others thought so too. Sidney likes it even if he never remembers what happens.

• Sidney has an extreme fear of fire, enclosed spaces and abandonment due to the fire at the diesel works.

• D10 feels guilty for accidentally causing the fire at the diesel works, so has shut himself away almost completely. Only the diesels who rest at the diesel works know he didn't disappear.

• Everyone is creeped out by 'Arry and Bert apart from Phillip and Mavis. Mavis finds them annoying and Philip is friendly towards them.

• The Scottish twins' falling out started when Douglas saved Oliver. On the way, he saw scrapped engines resembling his class and got curious. So later, after Oliver was safe on Sodor, Donald asked topham how many of his class were left. None. The twins only had eachother. So Douglas became overprotective of his twin, which irritated Donald to no end, causing multiple fights, leading to their fallout.

• Ryan has a snooty, prideful farce that he puts up as to fit in with his family (gresleys). He is sweet and kind once you get to know him though. Daisy was the first to see past the mask, hence their firm friendship.

• Diesel has a soft spot for his brothers. And ducks. And musicals (Chicago). But he'd rather get sugared diesel then let that come to light.

• 'Arry and Bert still work as scrappers. Bert kills the victims and 'Arry dissects the corpses for parts.

• Den is actually rather smart, it's just that whenever he explains stuff, he always uses far too complex terminology for the others, so Dart always has to explain what he means to the them.

• The worst behaving trucks are always the ones who's faces are borrowed.

• Henry's body was switched with a badly behaved black stanier (the misbehaver's face was swapped out for Henry's). Due to this, Henry can see some memories that are not his, and often feels uncomfortable in his new shape, as it was never truly his to take, and his own self will forever haunt him.

• Redward indeed happened.

• While we're on the Eddie train, he also has a hankering for chips and squawks (laughs) like his namesake.

• Both Sidney and James have burns from accidents (Sidney's are due to the fire in the diesel works, and are all over his body and improperly healed. He didn't have much to do for the 2 years he was up on that flatbead, and James's are from his first day on Sodor, and cover his limbs)

• Every Gresley feels like they have a legacy to fulfil. Apart from Henry. Henry was a failure undeserving of a legacy. Henry has self esteem issues. Who'd have guessed.

• Cranky had really bad depression and anxiety before he became friends with Carly and Mickey. Now the depression and anxiety are a little bit more manageable.

• Sidney, Paxton and Norman came to Sodor on the same boat, so share the deepest bond with each other. That's why it hit so hard when Sidney couldn't remember them anymore. Norman also kept count of how long Sidney was kept up there (that's actually canon I'm screaming).

• Due to the treatment of Sidney, most of the diesels don't trust Sir Topham Hatt. Diesel 10 hates him.

• Lady was cast down from her godly position because of her deteriorating mental state from seeing her beloved creations be scrapped as if they had no thoughts or feelings.

• Thomas was trusted with Lady's old duties along with Rusty, as they had had a good relationship with her before.

• Sonny has scars on his face from some of Baz and Bernie's more physical threats.

• Sonny and Skiff are good friends due to their similar pasts.

• Dilly is slightly immortal. She has outlived most of the Fat Controllers and plans to continue to do so until the Little Western is no longer in service. On that day, she shall huddle up in Donald's cab and assist him in the afterlife.

• The logging locos went insane on misty island, but eventually had to be transported to Sodor because their logging company was found out to be a crime front. The criminals were arrested soon after.

• Nearly all of the main cast (barring Emily and Duck) need therapy. Actually most Sodor engines need therapy. Don't worry, they're just a little fucked up.

• Most engines have no concept or understanding of traditional gender roles or the gender binary. They are sexless beings after all.

• The engines can get unofficially married. Toby and Henrietta are married. But the engines aren't really supposed to have deep feelings, let alone romance, so romantic love between engines is rather taboo outside of Sodor.

• Rebecca and Henry share crippling self esteem issues and love of plant and animal life.

• James actually really likes birds. Especially colourful ones.

• Henry spends most of his time outside of work in the forest. Rumour has it he's become part of the flora. Either way, he likes dragging people he trusts into hours spent in the woods identifying animals and plants with the tattered wildlife books his fireman once gave him.

• Literally everyone is autistic. C'mon, they're trains. The headcannons write themselves at this point.

• In addition to probably being autistic, Percy, Bill and Ben are dyslexic. So is Diesel, but no one's found out because he's also illiterate. So much for being the future.

• Duke lives at the castle.

• Smudger is waiting for when he can come back again to seek revenge. Unfortunately, a particular Irish SR member will make that slightly harder.

• The engines can switch between engine form for work and humanised form for out of work very easily.

That's probably enough for now.

Trick or treat!

*Camille dressed as Christine Daae*: Happy Halloween! *Gives sweet tarts and warheads* Have a great night!! (Gordon is already out of costume but waves nonetheless)

*James (Venom) hands out chocolates with Edward (Spider-Man)*: Make sure you do more tricks than treats! 😈

Edward: James… *sighs but smiles*

📁Henry?

There was one time that Henry was on the phone with Edward and their conversation had somehow came down to talking about the best murder method and Gordon walked in the room, hearing Henry explaining his ideal way on how to discard a body step by step. It was extremely awkward when Henry noticed that Gordon was there.

[theyellowroseofsodor]

Happy Halloween sorry I didn't do it yesterday.

James: Halloween is forever!! Happy Halloween!!

Camille: That’s OK! Happy Halloween! Did you still want candy? We have extras. Just don’t grab from the bowl… James here mixed m&m’s and skittles. 😒

James: MWAHAHAHA!!

[theyellowroseofsodor]

Did anyone trick anybody for Halloween? Like a house get tp’d? Egged? Jumpscared anybody?

I can see Thomas tricking people.

James: 😈😈😈

Edward: We’re never getting invited to another Halloween party again. Not even our own.

James: I mixed the skittles and the m&ms.

Thomas: I stuffed ice down Gordon’s shirt at one point. And I spooked Henry hiding around the corner once or twice.

Henry: Five… Times…

Thomas: 🤫 Numbers are for nerds

Camille: We all tp’d Sir Topham Hatt’s office last night and so if anyone is wondering why we’re up extra early… oh and I convinced Gordon to hand out candy for kiddos WITH his costume on and when the teenagers started coming around he decided costumes were stupid, again, and put the bowl in front of his shed and when they went for it the doors would fly open and he’d whistle at them and charge them for a brief second. Nothing like nearly being run over to scare the crap out of some kids. 🙄

Gordon: It’ll teach them the holiday is for kids, grow up. You don’t need candy anyway. It rots your teeth.

Camille: Says the man with a hidden stash of butterscotch candies in our bedroom. 😏

Gordon: Woman! 😤 Those are Doncaster made and they’re different. I didn’t dress up for those, you got them for me.
