Dont Skip,,please help my sons !!🇵🇸🍉
Hello! I am motaz from Gaza.
My house was destroyed and I lost my job and everything we had in this country. I feel great pain writing for you, as I have to start this campaign to save myself and my people from this human disaster. We live in harsh conditions, and we only have hope after being displaced several times from our home. Now, we are fighting for the most basic necessities to survive - drinking food and water.. Imagine with me that you wake up every day and don't know how to get a meal for your kids. Imagine the anxiety that grips you as you try so hard to protect your family from hunger and thirst. This is our daily reality. Your donation, no matter how small, can have a great impact. It can provide us with a meal, a clean water bottle, or a moment of safety under these difficult conditions. Every donation brings with it a ray of hope, alleviates our suffering and gives us strength to face a new day. Please donate and support the resilience of the Gazan people, especially citizens in the north of the Gaza Strip, and share this campaign with your friends and families. Together, we can make a difference and help my family get through this ordeal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support. My warm greetings. Motaz
I want to save the lives of my family and escape death.
I hope you will help by donating and reblog

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.”
Please do not neglect my letter and I am really sorry to ask for help from you I want you to help us, to get through the suffering of this war, we need money in order to be able to buy the simplest requirements of life and treatment everything is expensive my family consists of Mariam 12 years old, my father is 80 years old with a stroke and needs treatment and physiotherapy 100 dollars at a time twice a week mom is 69 years old with chronic diseases, I have no source of income and I am the person who supports them we want to live, I want to give Mariam , dad and mom a better life.

CW: ADULT JOKES AND TOPICS
i read the lyrics for a whole lotta locomotion and this is basically how it sounded to me
some miscellaneous oc’s i made (they’re more akin to background characters, if those were ever a thing in stex)
this is the flatbed nurse, her job is to transport rolling stock that are unable to safely move themselves. this means she’s mainly in charge of watching over newly built trainlets, or elderly trains who’ve become too weak to move on their own. she’s relatively new to the world of medical care and has had some very … difficult patients she had to deal with, but it’s not like she has many other options. during races, she works closely with the marshals in the event of a crash, and recently, she’s been working closely with wrench ever since she came to the train yard.
this is the chocolate train, they (alongside nurse flatbed) were from that shitpost i made about cb being the old crusty chocolate lady from spongebob. the chocolate train consists of 3 trains.
1. ferrero the diesel electric engine is the self proclaimed leader of the train. he’s training to become a freighter, and is usually the one making decisions and plans for the group.
2. godiva is a replica of the cvrr pioneer locomotive. if ferrero is the one who makes the plans/decision maker, godiva is the one executing those plans/decisions. one time as they were selling chocolate, a group of thugs tried robbing them and godiva ran the robbers over before they could do anything. she’s very good at thinking on her wheels, which is why she’s the one acting on the group’s behalf. godiva is better at acting in the moment, while ferrero is better at long term plans.
3. cadbury is a 4-plank wagon that tags alongside godiva and ferrero on their adventures. he carries the chocolate they sell, and honestly he’s only doing this because they’re his friends, and if they’re happy, he’s happy. he’s easily swayed, and gullible. one time flat top convinced him that cussing at his parents would make them obey him for the rest of his life.
Sorry I’ll get back to the trains in a bit I’ve got these guys on the brain again rn
also here's this weird bug I found
Decided to draw @discowormfan 's take on Dinah, really loved the way she dose the sillies

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 💀
sorry for all of the late posts guys. i would say that work is getting in the way of it but honestly i’m a little lazy, but this is a promise: i will get through all of the characters listed here even if it takes me the rest of the year, that’s a promise.
DAY 13: FLAT TOP THE BRICK TRUCK !!!!!
- Favourite Actor?
by far, DENNIS COURTNEY IS MY FAVORITE ONE by far, i’m such a fan of how much of a little guy his flat top is complete with his wonderful helium laugh, like he screams FLAT TOP to me in so many ways i just cannot ignore it. also it would be remiss to overlook paul reeves, he was the first flat top i was ever introduced to and he also just fits the character so well ….
- Favourite Song/Scenes?
anytim flatty is onstage it’s actually amazing. his introduction is the perfect way to become acquainted with this angry little guy. his scenes with poppa are also really funny, the way he is so contrarian to poppa/momma’s praising of steam by praising oil instead is hilarious. also the he calls steam engines stinky, to their FACE is hilarious and i will never ever not love that. i also love how he worships greaseball during pumping iron i really think he should be added to the roster of greaseball simps in the song but that’s just me. where flat top gets really interesting is when you see his background arc of him truly seeing that greaseball isn’t this untouchable god that he deems him to be. the way he looks so uncomfortable when gb and cb are discussing their plans to sabotage rusty is really good characterization showing how he’s starting to question whether or not greaseball is as cool a guy as he thought. the best scene flat top has though is after rusty is beat up, where he returns rusty’a helmet, asks if he’s ok, before telling him that he’s never gonna beat greaseball, and that he should just give it up, but you can tell he has no malicious intent with what he’s saying. he just doesn’t want rusty to risk getting hurt again, in what he believes to be a losing battle. it speaks so much to how this edgy contrarian flat top portrays himself to be is really just a facade he uses to look cool, and deep down despite not showing it, he really does care for the stinky steamies that he claims he hates. very interesting character even if he doesn’t do much.
also anything flat top does with his brick is amazing, and his helium laugh alongside the little dance of approval he does for poppa in the 1st us tour is the best clip of him ever i will not be taking criticism it’s so fucking cute.
- Favourite Costumes?
the london punk-style costume is the goat when it comes to flat top costumes, they certainly leaned too hard into him being a grimy truck when he came to broadway, HOWEVER !!! however, i do like him carrying his pet brick on his head, that’s very cute.
- Favourite Ships/Friendships?
obviously flat top and all of the freight cars is fun, especially dustin because of how opposite they are. dustin is shy and meek, flat top is loud and bombastic, yet they jive so well together !!! his relationship with rusty is also very interesting for reasons i already explained. i like to think they become much closer after the events of the show.
- Headcanons?
here are some headcanons i have about flat top’s antics throughout his life:
- flat top SAYS that his graffitied tattoos were unwillingly painted onto him by vandals, when really he actively been paying people to give him more soley so he can flaunt his “sick tatts” to the other trucks
- flat top has taught and encouraged the use of swearing to children, especially around authority figures like their parents and teachers
- stole ashley’s cigarettes to see how many he could smoke at once
- unsuccessfully convincing dustin to smoke weed with him
- successfully convincing slick to smoke weed with him
- throwing around his bricks and accidentally hitting a man in the head and giving him a concussion
- one time he taped a piece of paper that said the words “kick me” on rusty’s coal bunker, you can probably infer what happened after
- flat top got really angery that no one chose him as a race partner, so before going back to the yard, he went behind the british engine (before he was disqualified) and spray painted “this rase is STOOPID” on his side
- Unpopular Opinion?
i believe it was @strangeandinteresting who said this in a discussion so credit to them, but FALT TOP TOTALLY SHOULDVE REPLACED DUSTIN THE FINAL. the entire show flat top is a little shot and doesn’t like steam engines, he’s very much a fan of oil, and wants to be part of greaseball’s gang. recent productions have done so much for flat top’s character where he sees that greaseball isn’t this super cool god that he thinks he is, culminating in him switching to rusty’s side once he sees the evil that gb is capable of. it would make SO MUCH SENSE if flat top was the one to race with rusty to fully round out his character arc of sticking by the stinky steamies that he claimed he hated. plus, it would actually give ALL of the trucks relevance in the story !! dustin races with poppa, the rockies have right place right time, and flat top would be the one to race with rusty in the final. of course, dustin being rusty’s partner also makes sense, but considering what this could do for flat top and actually giving him some relevance in the story, im surprised this wasn’t done earlier.
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.
DAY 11: THE ROCKIES !!!!!
- Favourite Actor?
honestly i think any actors for the rockies are pretty fire in my opinion, but i will say having a girl rocky is like one of the best things that could’ve happened to them !! also i’m a fan of the 3 girl rockies even if they were in the joke matinee in london and never appeared again.
- Favourite Song/Scenes?
you already KNOW i’m gonna say right place right time because that really shows the rockies at their best in my opinion. is them telling rusty to give up rather rude? yes. but are they doing it out of malicious intent? no. are they based and true when they say that the system is rigged to put certain people on top and others on the bottom? yes. and are they absolutely killing it as they say it? also yes. it’s brief, but i love how it shows how the rockies have been so jaded by how they’ve been treated by the system that they’ve just nilhistically accepted that it’s always gonna screw them over, and gave up trying to change it is actually like really depressing ????? they seem more so interested in surviving train classism than changing or defying it. also there’s this one clip from a vegas boot where the rusty hater tries to attack rusty, only for the rockies to all fight him off which is super cute. NOBODY hurts their little bro and it’s so wholesome, i love how much they genuinely care for rusty. even when they tell him to give up, it seems more like they’re telling him to not waste his breath on something that’s inevitably gonna fuck him over than them bullying him. also i love how upset rocky 1 is when he founds out that the british engine was scrapped (btw does that mean the british engine DIED ?????)
- Favourite Costumes?
i love both their london and post-london costumes equally !!! the london ones are a bit more abstract than the broadway ones in terms of how well they resemble actual trains, but honestly i’m quite a fan of how they more lean into the boxing look. that also why i prefer them without their shoulder boxes on when it comes to their post-london costumes, they really look much more like actual boxers that way. however i will say, i love how big their shoulder boxes are, i think it’s cute, it’s like their little puffy sleeves :3. also pink rocky is the best rocky i love pink rocky they could never make me hate you pink rocky
- Favourite Ships/Friendships?
idk where the hell it came from but i love the ship of rocky 1 with the british engine, it’s so funny how upset he is to found out that british was scrapped. like that’s his man !!! and his ride !!! wtf !!! in terms of platonic relationships, i love how they’re friends with rusty, and seem rather protective of him. they’re like his big siblings, they’ll definitely mess with and tease him sometimes, but the moment anyone tries to fuck with him (cough cough rusty hater cough cough) they will personally rip them up. NOBODY messes with their little bro besides them. i also love how fond they are of poppa/momma !! it’s so cute they hype the old steamer up before they sing, and how they get really defensive of momma/poppa during laughing stock. they’re so loyal, i love those guys !!!
- Headcanons?
the rocky’s shoulder boxes are only necessary when they are doing freight work, in all other situations, the rockies find them clunky and hard to work with so they choose to leave them off whenever they can.
if the rockies had their own racing helmets, they would resemble real life boxing headgear that protects the entire face
also i like to think there are actually 8 rockies in total. the four original broadway rockies, the elusive pink rocky, and the 3 london all-girl rockies. the first four consist of 3 guys with rocky 3 being the token girl, and the second four consist of 3 girls with pink rocky (rocky 5) being the token guy.
- Unpopular Opinion?
as happy as i am with the inclusion of rocky 3 becoming a girl, it seems as though they REALLY wanted to convey that she was a girl. the ponytail coming out of her boxing headgear, the eyelashes and lipstick? look i’m all for her being pushed as a girl don’t get me wrong, but i don’t see why that she has to have traditionally feminine design features to show that she’s a woman you know ???
