Camille: Decorations EVERYWHERE!

Gordon: Too many if you ask me.

Camille: No such thing.

James: No one asked you for your opinion anyway.

Gordon: Look here-

Camille: We’re doing a costume party with the theme of Villains and Heroes.

Percy: I’m gonna be Mario!

Thomas: I’m gonna be Bowser! 😈

Emily: And I’m Princess Peach!

Henry: I’m gonna be Poison Ivy… a male version but yes…🫣

Hiro: And I’ll be Robin from the Batman and Robin movie. Although I’m not quite sure it fits my personality. But Poison Ivy is one of Henry’s favorites so that’s what we decided on.

James: I’m gonna be venom! 😈

Edward: And I’ll be going as Spider-Man.

Camille: I’m gonna be Christine Daae and Gordon’s gonna be Phantom.

Gordon: *grumbles*

Camille: He doesn’t like to dress up but Gerard Butler’s costume is very gentlemanly and so he agreed.

Gordon: You’re lucky I tolerate you.

Camille: Love you too dear! 🤭

Vote for Gordon!!!! Do it!!!

Bracket 1: Round 2, Match 1

Propaganda under the cut! Please be aware that some may contain spoilers.

Gordon the Big Engine:

Gordon was built at Doncaster in 1920-1921 as an experimental prototype for Sir Nigel Gresley's A1 Pacific design for the Great Northern Railway but had to get rebuilt cause of so many faulty parts around 1922/23 and there are so many Thai gas that happened like he ended up being sent to the North Western Railway he is the older brother of the Flying Scotsman and was understandably grieving where flying Scotsman’s visits him and he pulled the Queen Elizabeth’s II royal train he such a grumpy cat a jerk with a heart of gold

Gordon is literally one of the OG train characters from one of the most well known UK based media properties AND he’s British AND has famous locomotive relatives. He pulls (one of) the most important trains on the island and makes sure to rub it in, he goes through it™️ in the books at the fact that most of his siblings are dead and again at the possibility of two-ish new express engines coming over to the Mainline job, he’s pompous and stuck up a bit of an ass esp when competition is involved even but also he cares. he cares So much for people even tho he’s like on this sort of kind of 50/50 on if he shows it.

There's trains that are FROM Britain, and there's British Trains™. Gordon is a British Train™.

Gary 'Eggsy' Unwin:

Just an average British guy who dresses like a bloke you would see lingering outside Asda. He joins the Kingsman agency, besting all the private school candidates in the process. He is underestimated due to his working class background, but his background is actually what gives him the edge above everyone else. I just think that he epitomises a normal British guy in such a fun way.

Feel free to add your own in the tags!

I’m dying! 😂😂 This is freaking amazing!!!

I was supposed to do the Entire boulder segment + the terrence one which is why he’s doodled in the title caed but my will to do anything more dissipated so here’s what I ended up doing!!

Oh goodness. I’m sorry, Henry and Hiro, I didn’t mean for my question to cause all that.

Henry: It’s not your fault, gift anon. If anything, I’m watching it tonight with Hiro and Camille. 😊 I’m gonna give it a shot!

Hiro: He’s excited to turn it out. We started with Jaws yesterday with Camille.

Camille: All time favorite movie! 😁

Henry: It wasn’t too bad… Quint’s death was rough though…

Camille: Rest in Peace, Quint.

Gordon: *rolls eyes*

Camille: You can come too if you’re going to behave.

Henry: You’re always welcome, Gordon.

Gordon: *grumbles* …Alright.

Hello again! I recently had a thought I wanted to share with you! I was listening to my folk/new age music playlist (because I’m the kind of weirdo that has one of those) and a song called “Crimson Sky” by Heather Dale came up on shuffle. Despite the grim-sounding title, it’s actually more like a meditative mantra set to music. The lyrics are:

Shining pearl within the crimson sky, guide me in the coming night

Perfect seed within the humble husk, ground my feet in soil so I may rise

Patient leaf within the endless pool, calm me when the torrent falls

Gentle wind within the slanting grass, bear me ever on until I rest

I’ve had that song on my playlist for years, but this time I thought of your Henry and Hiro when I heard it. A mantra seems like the sort of thing that Hiro would both use himself and teach Henry for when his anxieties get the better of him, and I think the imagery in the lyrics themselves fits with Henry’s character! What do you think?

Oh my gosh that’s amazing! I hadn’t even thought of that but it TOTALLY matches Hiro’s personality and culture, and with his love for Henry he would definitely pass something along like that.

I have to be honest, as I was writing Edward and James’ wedding I thought to myself “what would a wedding between Hiro and Henry look like?” And then I started looking into what a song for them would look like, would it be a traditional wedding like James and Edward’s, or would it be a more Japanese setting due to Hiro’s heritage, or a fusion of both?

The idea of Hiro making a mantra specifically for Henry, seeing as Henry’s love language would be words of affection and affirmation, this would make him all flustered at first but would really build his character. With his struggles and, especially after this last chapter, the accident, Hiro coming up with something like that would 100% be in character.

Now I wish you weren’t a complete anon because then we could work on one 😅

What an amazing idea! I’ve got to look into this!

What would I do without you, gift anon? 🥰🥰🥰

This could be us but I’m lactose intolerant 😔
