Sometimes It's Actually Less Cringe To Be Like, "Yeah I Love This Children's Show Made For Children"

Two years?! I’m in!

ttte core

Have an emotional support perpy for your troubles :D

Hey gang, I wasn’t supposed to get involved in The Drama™️ but N*rmal made her 6th account in the span of a week so I though I’d share my thoughts on the whole thing (with photographic evidence) 👍

TW: NSFW stuff, mention of twincest, usage of slurs

So I guess y’all are familiar with The List™️ (pls go give everyone on this list a follow they’re very awesome sauce <3)

So we are on this list bc we apparently either are predators or support predators. Which is pretty funny considering N*rmal’s entire premise is derailing (no pun intended) everyone’s posts to comment on the engine’s “sexiness”.

Also… whatever this is

Moving on

She claims that we support pedo’s, which is not only false, but also EXTREMELY harmful. The reason for this is that we defended two users that make NSFW art which is censored, properly tagged, and posted on Patreon ONLY accessible to 18+ folk (and SHE’S the one that took their art and posted it on her accounts for everyone to see). If she REALLY cared about protecting minors from NSFW stuff she wouldn’t make a post defending literal TWINCEST of Bill and Ben (who are minor coded I believe)

If she cared about protecting minors from NSFW, she also wouldn’t interact with a person known for not only stealing art, but also making NSFW of logos. She also wouldn’t tag a post with “minors in fandom need to sit the fuck down”.

Additionally, she constantly claims that we are harassing her. Which is, you guessed it, also false. Most of us have her blocked, or haven’t interacted with her at all. Meanwhile, she’s the one that called someone a literal SLUR and said some disgusting things about another user

Also here are her alts, in case you want to block them:

This is hopefully the last post I’m gonna make on this, please do not send her harassment just block and move on.

as much as i love the idea/headcanon of manfred being an absolute disappointment of a father to both franziska and miles (mainly miles), another idea i love but barely see is von karma being a good father to them all throughout their childhood. the 'perfect' father, even. what if he had high expectations of their grades, but overall was seemingly perfect father to miles and franziska. supporting their interests, praising high marks, showing affection to them, etc.

with miles specifically, what if he helped him through his DL-6 nightmares? showed genuine pride in miles for becoming a prosecutor?

its a silly thought but still

honestly, n*rmal makes me scared to even look up gordon on here

what if shes lurking in the woods like the boogeyman

hey hey! don’t do this!

Tired of the eternal bullshit from tttetwt. Saw a person on my TL I thought I'd muted for Reasons and sure enough when I saw them I was immediately annoyed all over again for their horrible take sometime last year—not only did they not realise Henry was seen by many as a disabled icon, upon learning it they denied that this was even possible because "Awdry didn't write him to represent that."

First of all, Theory of the Author and their Degrees and Deadness and all that.

But also? That's what makes Henry's arc hit so fucking hard? The extra oomph of him being written off by everyone—even his own creator thought he was inconvenient and it was better for him to die.

That his character survived Awdry's intent to quietly kill him off (due to the publishers' interests, of course—chance—but also in conjunction with all the young readers who wrote fan letters expressing their love for Henry!) is why we LOVE him.

The invisibly disabled often feel abandoned or hated by God/universe. Is it any wonder they feel such a connection to a character whose (capital-C?) Creator was also like "oh fuck, how embarrassing to have made a mistake like this guy, better let him suffer and die"?

In the end, even Awdry—though at first he was basically bullied into giving Henry some real attention—had to back down and acknowledge Henry as the "Enterprising Engine."

Is it any wonder that people resonate with this icon who eventually showed up GOD HIMSELF?
