"That wasn't very Great Western of you"

"I want out of here as soon as possible"

Headcanon that Duck has said "That's not very Great Western of you" as a genuine expression of disappointment. On multiple occasions.

It's the them!

Okay I got about half of what was said here, Four years of French and I could not translate that whole text.

Weirdly enough Mineta is actually pretty fun to write when it's not perv jokes.

You appear on my dash, Go!

Hi I made a gif Its not great but yeah 🤷‍♀️

I am jumping all over the place-

What happened? Don't ask. If you're wondering what fnaf character I'll draw next, it's Nightmare Fredbear, the random number generator has cursed me yet again.

On another note, Mina and Shoto came out well. Planning to do all of Class 1-A and maybe 1-B after. Who knows.

Ahh yes, super physically affectionate Denki, my favorite thing about his dynamics with characters.

Also Shoto not knowing how to swim is real.

Love them❤️

(Tsundere jirou is my favourite 🤣)

Fanfuckingtastic!

How we feeling today Kamijirou nation

mhhhhh ideasssss

I think one of the things about Bil and Ben is that they probably come off as kinda... sheltered? spoiled? to the other engines.

I mean they'd come off as irritating anyway because Being Aggravating is their stock-in-trade. But I imagine there's an inescapable element, too, of... envy. Disguised as dismissal and disgust.

Because the twins seem to have been bought new. This makes them nearly unique among the standard-gauge Sodor engines, all of whom had to prove themselves, or lose something, or come to the island as a last resort...

But Bill and Ben are privately owned and, I imagine, doted on. (That livery is one that is gonna show dirt fast, and I think that alone says something even apart from the general Vibes.) They have the freedom to roam beyond their clay pits, but they also have their home base that the others can't enter—they'd well shut out of the various stressors of other engines bunking with each other (and roasting each other from dawn till dusk). They are each other's family and they've never been separated, much less suffered the loss of the other. They pretty clearly don't live in fear of their owners, and they also seem to get a lot of attention from enthusiasts (RWS).

I get the sense that Edward and BoCo's tolerance for them is another symptom of how ungrudging and unjealous they are. They're pretty free from the trap of resenting others for their good fortune and that really helps to keep your cool when dealing with the two most cossetted little shits (affectionate) on the island.

I'd love to see their development pushed a bit by some disruption of their idyllic endless childhood, though. I think TVS having them mix it up at the big harbor helps a good bit—I like to imagine that after the era of the Wilbert Awdry books, the S.C.C. started hiring them out to the N.W.R. over the winter months and that allows for them to be at Brendam Tidmouth Harbor with Cranky, Salty, and whoever else at times.

One could take it further, though. What if the powers that be ever rebuilt that bridge that makes clearance into the pits so tight? And then the S.C.C. dieselised? I think Bill and Ben being replaced would be fascinating just because it would be such a big push for them as characters.

I'm sure the N.W.R. would take them in, at least for a while, but that's not dramatic enough for my tastes. Would they struggle to adapt (a la the season 3 story where they screw up their day managing the big station)? Would they be able to stay together? Would the North Western engines put together a deputation to ask them to be purchased, or would some of them kinda hesitate to plead for the most annoying little bees in the world to become a permanent part of their life? Would their diesel replacements kinda suck? What if the S.C.C. asked for them back, to help their replacements get up to speed? Bill and Ben as the seasoned veterans is just such a hilarious thought to me.

Which brings me to my next post...
