A new mode of production arises out of the newly networked masses.

Good this threw me back like seven years.

These are all beautiful.

Personalized Insults

So my friend @sekiumiarashi and I have created a bit of Sodor culture between the engines. That being personalized insults. The insults are a sign you know and care enough about the engine to know how they fucked up. You want to show you care but also say “fuck off you’re being a bitch”. Every engine has them, Thomas having the most. Here are some

Gordon: Oh go up a hill. // Mr. Ditchwater // Did lose your way again?/Who lost the route for you this time? // Mr. Diesel Buffers // Domeless

Thomas: Go fall down a mine. // Mr. I make good decisions (mainly used by Edward) // Remember your coaches this time? // Gone fishing?/Got fish in your boiler? // Enjoy your world tour? (Whenever he’s late) // regular law breaker

Percy: Dirty Percy // You get in a jam? // Did you have a snack break? (When he’s late) // Mr. Whistle-mouth // Non-refundable (only in our au)

James: Don’t get your bootlaces in a twist // Mr. Buzzbox // Mr. Bridge-cracker (by Toby and Gordon only) // Tar-face/tar-wagon

Henry: Get stuck in a tunnel // Sir Improper Funnel (by Percy only)

Emily: Your highness

Edward: Mr. Know the rails (by Gordon only in our au) // Lose a water wheel?/Lose a wheel?

Feel free to add more if you’d like.

wooh these look, so cool

Teen Titans

By Jan Bautista

Probably one of my oddest contributions to the Thomas Fandom is USAR Light Mikado Mike.

Seriously this sprite is surprisingly popular, mainly as Churchill and Dr. Syn have still yet to get sprites, I've seen this become Jock a few times which I think is fun.

The whole reason why Mike is even an American is S734 is due to his portrayal by EE93, the voice and mannerisms were just so distinct, like his voices that was officially given were fun, the weirdly Gordon Ramsey sound from Tim Whitnall was fun but I figured that the brash American voice was rather fun.

So lore surrounding him, Mike doesn't show up with Rex and Bert (Otherwise known as Wallace in S734) he's the eighth engine purchased for the Arlesdale, he was contract built for Hanson Moore, one of the more railway interested investors, and he was the first brand new steam engine built for the railway, everyone else up until that point had been pre-owned. Mr. Moore really went all out on the livery, Red, White and Blue, and a nameplate reading Scarlet Fire, the other engines thought Mike's overall appearance was gaudy, and trying to get peoples attention, and Rex nearly exploded from laughing so hard after Mike's first passenger train, when afterwards he claimed he hated them, and would prefer goods work, Ragnar said that you could practically hear Mr. Moore shrink when Mike said that.

Mike loves the heavy Ballast work due to the fact that Ragnar and Rex are Atlantics (Will explain them in their own post) and Wallace was rather old, it was down to Franka and Braid (Basset Lowke Pacific) to work those heavy trains, but when Mike came along he took to them like old Roosevelt to a horse, he loves the job, mainly as it shows everyone how strong he is, and well he's right he is the strongest one.

In terms of his relationships with the others, they find him rather funny, if a bit brash and argumentative and glad that he showed up to haul Ballast.

Wretch and Sprocket (Blisters) like Mike, even if he finds the two slightly unsettling but nice to talk to.

Wallace doesn't quite know how to feel about Mike, or Michael as he calls him, a privilege reserved only for those who Mike deeply respects, like the Small Control or Mr. Moore, so the fact he doesn't throw old Wallace a look of death shows he respects the old codger, but old Wally as Mike calls him, doesn't like how Mike treats the passengers.

Ragnar finds the 'Big Yank' as he calls him rather cumbersome but respects his self assuredness and strength. 'Well placed confidence he has' is what he says about him.

Rex loves ripping into Mike, as he knows he has the ego to recover, but even then his remarks are only paint deep, he has a lot of respect for Mike, but finds it very funny that he just can't with passengers.

Franka's relationship with Mike is really odd, the two argue like they need to live, the others would always yell 'GET A SHED!' even Rex who loves to argue with him, practically broke over an argument about lubrication oil, and he practically screamed at them to just get together needless to say the two have been dating for awhile.

Braid, she tries to actively avoid interacting with Mike, mainly as she knows that if she engages in conversation, she'll realise that she hasn't move for an hour.

Jock, they treat Mike like a big brother, did something stupid with a ballast wagon, accidently stole Ragnar's beard wax, old Mike has you covered.

Old Big Scarlet is for lack of a better term the big brash glue that holds the crew together, mainly as he does the heavy lifting most of them can't.

Made this to feed me need for them.

First attempt at this sort of edit, looks alright.

Oh god I just realised that Hagakure's whole shtick is.

'Mirror Mirror on the the wall who is the fairest of them all'

The Two Ravens

So realised the other day that Tokoyami's naming conventions are Mythology based, Fallen Angel, Ragnarok, Tsukuyomi being the Goddess of the Moon in Japanese mythology.

You could even consider Dark Shadow a Valkyrie consider in the Smash comics they are female.

Hell you could further the connection by saying that the two could represent Hugin and Munin, Odin's two raven's, well now I've got names for two swords.

I'll stand by this, especially the part about sounding like Sir Christopher Lee, I love when the characters just have like a random voice that total sounds like they'd have that, even though we have no idea who they are

Imagine with me that Tokoyami’s father is a stately raven-heteromorph gentleman who sells insurance.  Only, like Tokoyami, he speaks entirely in doom and prophecy, like he’s doing a read for one of Edgar Allan Poe’s more unnerving works.

“There are many ways in which a life can be upended.  The tremors of tectonic plates, catastrophic floods and tsunami waves, vehicular accidents, the deterioration of one’s precious health, a carelessly placed candle growing into an all-consuming inferno that destroys all that you hold dear.  Are you certain you wish to traverse your years unprepared for so adverse an event?”

Oh, and he sounds like Christopher Lee.
