@smol4bluengine (I apologize if this keeps posting or being weird, I live in the boonies and it messes with my posts)

Gordon: Thank you, sir. My own is very obliging. Treats me and the others like we’re his own family. *walks in and sits down* That’s actually what I’m hoping to talk with you about. Camille has taken to your infant Gordon quite fondly…

Gordon: *standing at the door of Sir Topham Hatt’s office at Knapford and finally knocks a bit hesitantly* …. Maybe I shouldn’t… *turns and scratches at his hair in frustration*. Why do things always have to be so complicated??

Just then Sir Topham Hatt opens the door. He is surprised to see Gordon.

STH: Oh, Gordon! I wasn't expecting to run into you. Is there something you need?

Oh I’m sorry, I completely misunderstood what you were saying… For what it’s worth, wanting to make those kinds of posts doesn’t make you a bad person. There’s spaces for it for a reason, after all.

😂 Thanks Gift Anon! You’re the best still. I’m just happy you’ve been understanding. I think I’ll end up posting some things and I’ve never ever thought of doing anything explicit (those thoughts stay hidden under lock and key 😈) but they kind of work with my fic because it is about to get a mature rating because of more dark themes, again nothing explicit but there will be romance and there will be fights and sorrows and well, it’ll be roughly the equivalent to a PG-13 movie nowadays. But most posts here are more pure than anything so I’m like “Do I dare?” It’s not just Gordon and Camille either, it’s James x Edward and Henry x Hiro too. I do plan on marking those sections with a second warning in the fic as well. I feel like if I post warnings then people can’t really complain. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Gordon: I… *looks at the upset baby and sighs* Alright, here you go. *moves toy trucks back*

Camille smiled softly at the baby.

Camille: There we go, all better. *wipes his tears away and kisses cheek before setting him down* Go play.

Gordon watches in concerned silence.

Camille: I hear someone is having a big play date today!

Gordon is following closely beside Camille holding her hand.

Baby Gordon happily peeps his whistle.

Baby Gordon: Pway, Pway, Pway!!!!

There’s a place for more “naughty” stuff in the fandom too, so long as it’s labeled as such. I’ve seen people use the tag “thomasallgrownup” for things like that to keep it separate from the main tags, there is an option to add what tumblr calls a community label to your posts so it doesn’t show up for people who filter out certain labels or people under 18 (who didn’t lie about their age when they created their account), and if you want you can also add a “read more” so a person would have to click through to see the content of a post beyond it. I’m pretty sure there’s a whole page on community labels on help.tumblr.com, and how you add a “read more” depends on whether you’re on mobile or desktop so you’re better off googling that I think.

Hey gift anon, lovely to see you again dear. I know I could post and doll it up but then I feel like a dirty old person posting such naughtiness. I don’t want to be the bad guy lol or the naughty guy lol

Every once in a while I get the idea to post something more naughty on here and then I look at everyone else’s stuff and it’s all cute and babies and real engines and I’m over here like “Nope, I’m the problem” and scoot away from the naughties and the thots.

Camille: What is the process? I mean, do you think they would consider engines from other worlds? *takes a deep breath with a laugh* I mean, they don’t grow up I know, but it’s a very unique and lovely thing to have a family as an engine. It’s amazing that something like this can happen. Sorry, I’m rambling.

Camille: This question is more for the Ramsfield’s then anything. Do baby engines get adopted by other engines? Is that a thing? A-asking for a friend.

@theyellowroseofsodor Mrs. Ramsfield: Yes, on some of the railways my husband and I have visited, there have been engines who have adopted baby engines. Little Tykes amusement park has a program similar to Big Brothers, Big Sisters where the bigger engines will help staff look after the little ones.
