headcanon for Douglas x Oliver. And also, Douglas is so beautiful
Ohhhh yes, Douggie and Oliver, I think I've got at least a few for them! x'D
Buckle up, I'm boutta ramble LOLL
~ Headcanons for 10x11 ~
- They were pretty much smitten when they first met; Douglas thought Oliver was incredibly brave, strong and "an enterprising engine", while Oliver, ofc, was extremely grateful to Douglas for his rescue.
(Also cuz I mean look at "Escape", did you see the way they looked at each other? Instantly smitten for sure. xD)
- Toad was/is the ultimate wingman (or wingvan?) for them.
-Things were a little rocky at first; Oliver was still unpacking quite a traumatic experience and dealing with a rough-ish start on Sodor. And he struggles with the nagging question of whether or not he liked Douglas because of who he was or just because he rescued him.
-Though it's a little awkward and uncertain, once they overcome the initial bumps and start talking they hit it off very well, easily becoming good friends. After that everything just sort of... falls into place.
-Literally everyone knew they liked each other (there were many a gushing rant from both of them about the other lol).
- They don't really use "pet names" for each other. Though Oliver is one of only two engines on the island that's allowed to call Douglas "Douggie".
-Ironically, Oliver is way more protective of Douglas then vice versa, though Douglas does still have his moments.
-They spend whatever time they can get together just... talking. They talk endlessly about anything and everything. They love sharing in each others experiences, both past and present, and enjoy a solid sense of comradery.
-They understand each other better then almost anyone else, especially when it comes to their fears about scrap. They know they can always confide in the other about pretty much anything.
Their favourite things about each other are;
Douglas about Oliver: His determination, his unbreakable spirit, how reliable and trustworthy he is. Plus he's got such an adorable face. (and eyes that are very easy to get lost in xD)
Oliver about Douglas: His husky laugh (especially with the way his eyes crinkle when he smiles), the way he laughs at pretty much anything, how level-headed and patient he is, and especially that softer, sentimental side to him.
-Donald still teases Douglas to no end about "makin' goo-goo eyes at wee Ollie", but he's still incredibly supportive. He's mostly just happy his brother found someone who makes him so happy. uwu
-Donald has also told Oliver exactly what he'd do if he hurts his brother, but they were mostly just jokes... mostly. xD
There's probably more but it's safe to say that I think they're absolutely adorable! x'3
They can really understand each others traumas and experiences, and I 100% see them as just one of the sweetest, most affectionate, couples.
(At least as far as trains can go xD)
But aw yeah, Douggie is quite a cutie, isn't he? <3
Just had to doodle him after all that LOLL
And one of these days I'll get around to drawing them together... probably. xD
Thank you for the question!! <3
