I’m glad you liked my suggestions!

The amaryllis idea for Henry came from the fact that I’ve been given an amaryllis bulb as a gift before. They’re not native to the area I’m from so they’re sold as houseplants here during the fall and winter. It was extremely satisfying to watch it grow from bulb to long green leaves to tall thick stalk to big gorgeous blooms over the course of six weeks or so, and if you care for them well they’ll bloom again the next year! If I could send you an image I would, they’re so beautiful.

My headcanon for Gordon liking butterscotch specifically wasn’t pulled out of thin air either; butterscotch candy is believed to have been invented in Doncaster, where Gordon and his siblings were built!

Gift Anon, you strike again and I’m thrilled! I will have to look up an amaryllis flower. I’m unfortunately horrible at drawing off the top of my head, like I can draw but I have to look at an image and draw that and then add my own personalizations, but maybe if I can find an image of someone with one I can tweak it to be Henry and the plant because gosh it’s in my head now and I want to draw it!

I am currently reading the Thomas books (I bought the full collection) so I’m enjoying gathering information about the characters more so than the show gives. When other fans piece things together like the butterscotch and Gordon I think it’s the coolest thing. I know, it’s a simple connection, but I’m like 😃🥰 in awe. I’m so excited to add all this to the fanfic! Thanks again, 🎁 gift anon 🎁!

Ugh! I wish I could draw because I would be drawing the snot out of these characters with these ideas. But writing I’m good at and written it will be.

I personally haven’t added a yuri couple in my writing but that’s because I have difficulty writing yuri for some odd reason 🤷🏽‍♀️ Otherwise, here I am 😂

yeah

Firstly i really gotta hand it to you that O MY GOD YOUR WORK IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING I REALLY LOVE YOUR FANIFICS AND THE STORYTELLING AND YOUR OC AAA-

so im going to ask about the lead oc (Camille) because i always wondered what model did she have her basis on?

Hi there!! Thank you so much for the praise and love!! It really made my day!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜💜💜💙💙💙💙💙💙💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Camille’s model basis ended up being a tricky one. I originally wanted her to be like Ryan but then I discovered he’s a Gresley and that would’ve made her and Gordon cousins… 😬 *Sweet Home Alabama intensifies*

And although Camille is short I didn’t think of her like Percy short, so in the end she became an SR USA Class like Rosie! It also made sense because she is a US engine and that her builder/father was in the United States Army, which is what the SR Class was created for. It fit too perfectly!

That’s right baby!! I’m on vacation and didn’t see this poll otherwise I would’ve voted Gordon too!

Heeey everyone… *slowly slinks into view* Sorry I’ve been MIA for a bit. The summers get crazy hectic for me and my family. I’ve been meaning to post content but I’ve been basically go go go from the moment I get up to the moment I get to either the hotel/b&b/family members house.

I’ve got several more chapters of The Yellow Rose written and some side stories as well. I just haven’t had the time to edit and perfect them before posting.

What I’m thinking of doing is putting The Yellow Rose on a longer hiatus (don’t panic, only for a bit) and we may be strictly shorts for the next little while. I’ve got my son’s birthday coming up and we’re in the middle of fishing season and then hunting season comes next. It’s basically how we provide meat for our family and close relatives, so this is a very important season.

But I promise you, The Yellow Rose isn’t going away, in fact I made myself cry writing a few things both out of sorrow and out of happiness.

I look forward to all of y’all reading it! Also I would just like to réinvite people to the asks. You can ask the characters just about anything and they will respond! Curious about someone’s feelings? Ask away! This includes for the Short Stories as well. I know I haven’t explained how our dear Scotty broke his leg yet so you can always ask about that.

Does that mean the timeline is a bit nuts? Ummm yeah. Most of the shorts either take place after The Yellow Rose or before. Weird I know. But these are pieces that don’t necessarily fit in the main story perfectly. But the shorts won’t spoil the main story. So feel free to ask! Camille has been bouncing off the walls waiting with anticipation and any much longer and she might break something.

Camille: I would not!

Uh huh… So anyway, please don’t be angry with me, I’m only one person and I’m like mom/wife/teacher/farmer/author/EMT/huntress all rolled into one. Im surprised my arms haven’t fallen off yet.

Have a lovely day though everyone! I’ll be posting soon, I promise!
