I Dont Normally Try To Do The Whole Drawing Thing But While Ive Been Sick I Decided To Give It A Shot.

I don’t normally try to do the whole drawing thing but while I’ve been sick I decided to give it a shot. Especially since it’s my favorite characters birth/buildday. Might write something cute later.

First time ever trying to draw le steam engine. Not too bad haha Happy Gordon day!

Can we take a moment here to talk about what’s happening? I mean, seriously y’all we are NOT a big fandom. We just aren’t. And yet this crap is still happening. I want to swear and I want to cuss and I want to holler.

Do you guys have ANY idea who it is we’re looking at losing??? Her art has been the pinnacle of our fandom! It’s some of the first stuff you see when you even Google the Thomas and Friends fandom. Yes, there are many other artists but she’s one of the tops that draws people (pun intended) in. And yet she’s being dragged through the mud! How is this OK?!?

Her art is BEAUTIFUL, it’s outstanding and I’ve loved every moment I’ve had to just either look at her wonderful storytelling through it or just the wonderful things she does in general. I’m so freaking disgusted that after having to take a holiday from tumblr because I’m a mom and holidays are busy, that I come back to this. I’m glad she’s still here by the time I came back.

To the freaking morons who are stealing her art, God help I never find you. Cause Lord knows I’m pissed to Hell and back for her. She didn’t have to post art, she didn’t have to share her talent, but she freaking did! And she made absolutely beautiful art! She made these characters come to life in more ways for many of us, myself included. Yes, I have a penchant for Gordon and her Gordon is the most beautiful fictional creature I’ve ever seen (besides Astarion) but for real?!? I hate what’s happened here! It 100% makes me not want to finish writing. I love my work and I love my fanfic and I have it all mapped out and ready to go, just needs editing and such, but after seeing her art stolen, who’s to say my own work won’t be stolen too?

Man, this just royally pissed me off. We’re supposed to be united as a small fandom. Small fandoms are supposed to be tight knit. But I’m seeing that’s not the case. I’m seeing things aren’t as they should be. The weeds need to be rooted out from the garden. This is just ridiculous.

Seeing someone I genuinely look up to with her talent and personality be treated like this is such a bum deal. Seriously makes me want to peace out too.

Maybe you could open up a discord server so you can post things there and not worry about it getting stolen? Not sure if it'll work 100%, but it's the best idea i got.

Sorry to you're going through all this.

I’ve been going through this since I started posting art. It’s nothing new. It’s just become so detrimental to my mental health I don’t feel safe to post any art here at the given time. It’s the worst with my TTTE art because people don’t give a shit about my original stuff, not enough to steal it anyway. I’ll take it as a … backhanded slap of a compliment I guess. (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞

I also just don’t like discord much and I’ve never been able to get stuck into it. Maybe if I do I will make a AskTrio server. But the internet is what it is and I doubt it would do much to help.

Thank you for the advice though. It’s always appreciated and as are you, you’ve been nothing but supportive and I genuinely am grateful for you. ❤️

Why is this so funny to me?? 😂 I love how you keep having to explain this 😂

I’m a first-time asker but a long-time follower, and I have a few questions/requests/comments.

Have you ever thought about opening a profile on Deviantart? I think you would be a bit there!

Do you have any particular ships in this franchise/in general that you OTP? My favorites are Henward, Olivuck, Thomily, Percia, Gorbecca, Paxvis, Daisel, Lukille, Frankicane, Carky, Ladeus, Mirasha, and Joyness.

Can you draw Emily in a Ariel cosplay? Ariel is my favorite Disney Princess and Emily is my favorite character, so best of both worlds I guess.

Since you have stated that these characters in their human form can eat/drink, will them eating/drinking anything lead to them needing to go to the bathroom at some point? I know it’s a bit gross, but what goes in must come out, y’know.

Hi! Lovely to meet you. 💖💖

I don’t do requests but I can answer your inquiries! 💫

1- I think very few people who know this and they’d be the longest following, I actually started off on deviantART. I used to post there mainly when I first began to draw and share my art, including my first TTTE humanisation. I moved to Tumblr to start this ask blog and I like tumblr a lot more so I’ve been here ever since and moved all my art and correspondence here. I don’t really like DA anymore so I won’t be going back there ☺️

2- There’s a link on my pinned post to an ask I’ve answered which lists all my OTPs in my AU and their headcanons. So yeah that’s my ships there. I’m not personally a MASSIVE shipper. If there’s a couple or two characters that just have such good and clear chemistry, yeah I’ll ship them. But usually I don’t push for it or try and find any reason to ship two characters just because they looked at each other once. Especially in TTTE. The ones I do have are based on my own fave dynamic tropes and character dynamics. It’s difficult to ship trains.

3- I’m afraid I don’t do requests but I will be opening commissions again in February so once they’re open you’re more than welcome to get something ❤️

4- I’ve gotten this asked so many times it’s hilarious 😂 honestly I think.. it’s just absorbed as energy. The only waste product they really secrete is steam. They can eat and drink but don’t need it for energy, they do it for personal amusement so it means they don’t have a digestive system or anything of the sort. If they do it’s not a functioning one. So any matter they ingest is most likely used the same way coal and water are, and the waste is steam. I don’t know if that makes sense but it’s the best I can do 👏😂

And thank you so much for your ask! I’m so glad you finally sent one in and if you’re a long time follower, I’m very grateful for you to be here this long and I hope you stick around ❤️❤️

James and Edward, you two doing okay right now?

Without spoiling for the next chapter, I don’t write without a guaranteed HEA but for now? No, no they’re not alright. And it’s going to get worse before it gets better, for everyone. A sneak peak sounds needed so here’s a few lines from the upcoming chapter.

“GET AWAY FROM HIM!!! YOU’RE ONE OF THEM!!!” James screamed, ragged, out of breath, tears down his face. It takes several medics to hold him back from tearing into the smaller diesels form.

“B-But… Edward is my fri-“

“DON’T YOU DARE SAY HIS NAME!!” James spat venomously, “YOU KEEP MY HUSBAND’S NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!! IT’S YOUR FAULT HE’S LIKE THIS!!!” The read engine breaks into sobs, angry and broken, “IF HE DIES IT’S ON YOUR HEAD!!”

——

“Gordon…” The Flying Scotsman slowly moved closer to the large, blue engine, “Gordon, we have to go now.”

For a long time, the stoic express engine said nothing. He simply kept his eyes on the violet tank engine on the rails in front of him. Camille slept soundly, sedated, a mix of both medical equipment and tools from the engineers nearby. Her face no longer looked pained, but the idea of leaving her behind didn’t feel optional.

Scot swallowed, “Gordon… I know this has to be painful for you, but Sir Topham Hatt needs all healthy engines to move out. This safe house he has is ready for you, James, Emily, and I. Toby and Henrietta are already there.”

Still he’s met with silence.

“Please, brother. She’ll be safe here.”

“How can you be so sure?” It was the first time he’d heard his brother’s voice since leaving Tidmouth hours ago, “If I had just stayed by her side, she would be coming with us. If I leave, who knows what’s going to happen.”

“Sir Topham Hatt-“

“Sir Topham Hatt is nothing compared to Diesel 10! What makes him, a human, think he can stop a rouge engine??” Gordon grit his teeth angrily, “That bastard of a diesel could run him over without any remorse or looking back to get at her! I won’t have it!”

“I can’t just leave you here, Gordon. We have to trust that the humans know what they’re doing. It’s not just Camille that’s in danger. The entirety of the steam engines on this island are in the Steam Works just about. The island has been shut down. And you know Sir Topham Hatt treats you each as family, he’s doing the best he can.”

——

And that’s all I’m willing to spoil. I hope you’re looking forward as we get closer to the conclusion!

I know I’m a day late, but I hope you and your family had a merry Christmas!!

Hi gift anon! I have been so busy I haven’t been on here a ton! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎉🎆🎊

Oh my goodness… I take a holiday for a few weeks and I come back to find out such a tragedy has struck… I’m so sorry this is happening to you all.

Aside from Gordon, Scotsman, James and Emily, are there others who were unafflicted? Were the Miniature Railway and Skarloey Railway targeted as well, or was this isolated to just the North Western Railway?

I’m sending you all my love and support.

Sir Topham Hatt: We’ve had to lock down the whole island. Just about every water station was hit…. Almost all the engines… So many of them…. I’m having to make a public announcement soon. We’re supposed to be a safe haven for Steam Engines and now… we might lose so many of them.
