Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
I'm built different. like incorrectly i think
me and who :3
If I see that cowboy flesh hat and one more goddamn time
I won't stew in silence any longer. My grievances will be heard. AND tagged.
Why is there such a huge emphasis on Edward's 'old age' amongst fans and sometimes in the series itself, but more importantly, fan depictions of him as this decrepit old man. He's at most 17 years older than James. Look at this guy's face, he's like, the face of eternal youthful beauty. He looks like a wry and mischievous fae folk charming you away into a forest where you will fucking never be seen again. GOODBYE.
And don't get me wrong, I like describing/thinking of him as older, it gives his struggles and his dedication more merit and weight, but he's not anyone's peepaw by any means. People act like this poor guy was made in 1806 as opposed to earliest 1896.
Maybe at the time, when he was holed up in the sheds, he was 'older'. Marginally. Like how you look at your Samsung S10 and frown because it's not the S21 ultra. I wouldn't call that a grandpa, would you?
Anyway that's my two cents for what it's worth. If anything.
'lol what drugs did it take for u to come up with this' i lay on the floor and listen to music to have wretched visions
All of your humanized engines look huggable :] I want to give them all a really tight hug hfdjfhksf
Fun fact!! If you squeeze them, they squeak!
I think my favorite scene in Hero of the Rails - the UK dub to be specific - is when Thomas first finds Hiro.
Michael Angelis takes this very soft tone as he talks about the old engine, almost like the narrator can’t believe what Thomas has found either. And since he’s speaking so softly, you almost forget that he’s there, and it lets the viewer take Hiro in for the wonder he is.
And I think something else that helps set the scene is that Hiro is - if I remember correctly - the first scrap engine we’ve seen since season five. For a lot of the kids watching when the movie first came out, this was the first time they had ever seen a Thomas character who isn’t in pristine running condition. And even for the ones who have seen Stepney, Oliver, or Trevor, Hiro is in way worse condition than any of them. They just needed some cleaning up. Hiro couldn’t even move under his own power at this point.
There’s also something to be said about Thomas himself here. He just finished running out of control and is currently lost in the woods when he finds Hiro. Unlike Edward, or Douglas, or Rusty, he’s scared when he sees this old, rusted, broken down engine. He doesn’t know whether to run, call for help, or smile back at the old engine. But Hiro is quiet, gentle, and even offers to tell his story to Thomas, and the little engine warms up to him quickly afterwards. It’s nice.
