I Think That If Thomas The Tank Engine Met Rusty Starlight Express, This Is What Hed Say To Him

i think that if thomas the tank engine met rusty starlight express, this is what he’d say to him

“alright crusty, before you even consider THINKING about pulling annie and clarabel, i want you to a few things for me, alright? 1. i want you to take that hideous pointy boo-boo off your front and have it replaced with some nice buffers like me, 2. get a headlamp that’s not so big that it has its own gravitational pull because that thing on your head is the size of an entire meteor. where'd you get it, the chicxulub crater because i wouldn't be surprised if that was the asteroid that killed the dinosuars. and 3, most importantly: go to the works and just be rebuilt because like your geriatric looking ass is not gonna be giving my coaches tetanus today ok? also you look like an giant tissue box that was put in a rock tumbling machine, and i quite like looking at engines that don’t look like they came straight out of a year 10’s geometry textbook so while you’re at it just have them give you a new shape too, you understand? any questions? ok cool now go.”

DAY 14: DUSTIN THE BIG HOPPER

- Favourite Actor?

GAVIN ASHBARRY ALL THE WAY. it is so much better to cast actual plus sized people for this character, rather than putting thin people in fatsuits. also, one of the vegas actors for dustin, i can’t remember who, has the perfect voice for him. gavin perfectly looks the part for him, and the vegas dustin has the perfect voice for him.

- Favourite Song/Scenes?

god, any scene dustin has is a delight. i love how we see that while dustin is shy and meek, he definitely isn’t afraid to defend himself or others, like when he snaps back at the rockies for saying his head is filled with rocks during freight, or when he tells flat top that leaving out steam trains isn’t fair. additionally, i just love the way he is going ham on the harmonica it’s so funny, and the way he falls down on the floor like a doll after being pounded on the head makes it even funnier (DISCLAIMER I DO NOT STAND FOR THE OBVIOUS HOPPER ABUSE HERE. ABUSE AGAINST HOPPERS IS VERY MUCH NOT OK)

- Favourite Costumes?

honestly i love all of dustin’s costume, they’re so fitting for him. however i LOVE his grim reaper cloak he wears during the final race in the obc, it’s so funny and it makes him look so mysterious and kinda scary at the same time !!! i’m absolutely obsessed with cloaked dustin you guys don’t even know.

- Favourite Ships/Friendships?

i don’t really ship dustin with anybody, i just think he’s everybody’s friend, but i always found his relationship with flat top really cute since how obviously different they are, and obviously him and rustyyyyyyy

- Headcanons?

honestly, i don’t have much. i do think that dustin is one of the only trucks that the coaches can tolerate however !!! he’s just such a nice guy that whenever they talk shit about the freight, it’s NEVER in regards to dustin. never ever.

- Unpopular Opinion?

honestly, dustin is kind of one note. BUT THATS NOT A BAD THING THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A BAD THING. THE FACT FHAT DUSTIN IS SUCH A SWEET DUDE OVERRULES ALL OF THAT. and also doesn’t really need to be a complex character who goes through a character arc since like, besides dinah, he’s like the only characters with an actual moral compass 💀

we are currently running our first larger server event! the event entails creating a halloween-themed piece of fanart (or other type of fanwork) of the show. a winner (who will receive a prize--check out the details in the server!) will be determined via voting on Halloween day, and all pieces will be showcased in the events channel!

the server is nearly at 80 members, which is a huge milestone for us! please feel free to drop in; even if just to look around and check it out. we do a daily question of the day, schedule a bootleg steam every other weekend or so, regularly host whiteboards, and are planning another major event to run from November to December--so there is a lot to do if you're into that kind of thing! otherwise, it's a very relaxed space to share art and chat.

hope to see you there! stay spooky ;)

DAY 12: HIP HOPPERS

ok guys i’m gonna be so real, most of what i said about the rockies applies to the hoppers, so just go to their post and whatever it says there is my feelings on them right now.

- Favourite Actor?

like the rockies, i think any actors for the hoppers are pretty cool, but big shoutout to one of the asia tours making hopper 3 a girl, so shoutout to her.

- Favorite Costumes?

i mean their costumes have basically remained the exact same, but i will say this: i saw a design for a SIXTH hip hopper, which implies the existence of hoppers 4 and 5 which means POTENTIALLY MORE FREIGHT FRIENDS ???? i love that, and i love hip hopper 6

- Headcanons?

same headcanon for the rockies, there are 3 other hoppers, 2 girls and 1 guy this time though. they live in a different yard but they occasionally come and visit their siblings during their off season

- Unpopular Opinion?

as much as i think they’re funky, the hoppers suffer from the same thing as rapping rum tum tugger from cats, where their portrayal as breakdancing rappers can come across as VERY stereotypical and i frankly do not vibe with that (especially considering that as far as i’m aware, almost all of their actors have been white). now if they were based on the 90s cool kid aesthetic rather than contemporary hip hop and rap, i’m sure that they would come across much better than how they did.
