i made the whole “original livery -> eye color” HC to be cutesy but the more i think abt it the implications of being able to stare at someone’s eyes and to tell where they probably came from…. hm.
Gordon, whose vivid green eyes are as boastful of his LNER origins as he is himself; yet also a reminder of how many pairs of Doncaster Works eyes like his that he’ll never see again
James, wishing that his black eyes were as bright as his current paintwork; probably unaware of how brilliantly they shine when he flashes a genuine smile
Henry, whose grey, practically clear eyes are a constant reminder of his lack of a proper origin; but also reflect whatever is around him, tending to reinforce his presence and belonging on Sodor
Thomas, who is ever the oddity, has teal eyes. Sure, black and brown were known livery colors for LB&SCR engines, but teal? What basis are you, again? Where were you made? What makes you so special?
'So, with the Fireman sanding carefully in front, the Driver gently opened the regulator.
"Come...on!" puffed Edward.'
My entry for the #JustLikeAwdry diorama challenge based off the story 'Edward's Exploit' in book no. 21: Main Line Engines!
I didn't think I'd even be able to take part in this challenge, but this year I decided 'Just Do It' and went full steam all month. I will be posting a video later going into more detail about how I made my diorama, but for now, I'm just happy I was able to participate at all!
Sorry I went radio silent for, like, months. I got into other things and kinda forgot to log back into Tumblr. But I'm back now and I'm here to bring you ✨J E D✨
I've been meaning to do my own take on Jed for a while ever since Shika posted her Jed. Then Leo made his Jed and, well, better late than never I suppose.
My Jed lore below:
Okay so in my AU (TTTE: Sudrian Boys), the engines learn to shapeshift because they're curious about what human lives are like.
James and Edward are an established relationship, and they've been together for some time. James didn't like taking a human form at first. But over time, he learned how to customize it and having Edward at his side exploring human expression with him helped James regain his confidence.
So for the Jed AU within the AU, I imagine it takes place a little bit after James starts getting used to shifting. He's still adjusting to the new human form, but he's gotten really into customizing it via fashion and accessorizing. He's heard of humans going off to fun places at night, and he's curious to know what it's like.
So James and Edward catch a ride with Connor to the main land. And then they wander into a club.
The music is louder than they care for (they're not used to having the more sensitive ears that humans have). But the beats are nice, and dancing seems fun.
James and Edward dance together, and are lost in each other's company. They feel safe and loved and confident in each other's presence. Until eventually, they quite literally fuse and become one.
Jed's Personality:
As a character, Jed is the personification of how James and Edward perceive each other through their relationship. He's got double the confidence, but is a bit more calm and rational (from Edward's influence). He's also prone to sarcastic quips.
In both engine and human form, he's faster than either James or Edward would be separately.
Whenever James and Edward fuse to become Jed, Jed's outfit uses the combined parts of whatever James and Edward were wearing before.
The unfortunate thing about Jed is that when things go wrong, he's also got double the insecurities from both his parts. He's pretty good at solving other people's/engines' problems. But if he's feeling insulted in some way or is put into an uncomfortable situation that he can't logic his way out of, he's bound to break apart.
