-Clear Afternoon-

I have a theory/headcanon that he and Dark Shadow represent Huginn and Muninn, or Odin's ravens Thought and Memory, or that Dark Shadow is like a Valkyrie, either way, he is such a Norse buff.

fun fact: baldur's death is one of the signs of the coming of ragnarok

both are fumikage's move names (i think he likes norse mythology?)

denki teehee

Man it's a ghost town around here anyway.

This message goes out to any surviving Sersetsu's scatted amongst the stars.

What do we think of Velcro as the ship epithet?

Percy : HE'S DODGING THE QUESTION!

Stupid quote cuz why not

Thomas : Sir are you homophobic?

STH : Thomas. most of the engines in the railway is gay. How can I be homophobic

Thomas : Oh

It ain't a parallel dimension of light, it's weirder, it's a giant floating Island made of Gold.

Also yes the Team Comps are sooo good, I've taken to calling them Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald Teams as a play on the X-Men Blue and Gold Teams. Genuinely well thought out rosters.

i'm watching mha you're next since its on US netflix now and i couldn't be bothered to figure out where to watch it for free before this and this whole thing is actually insane. wdym they all got sucked into a parallel dimension made out of light by an evil all might imposter from europe and all the 1A students (and presumably other hero course classes) are running around in UA branded trucks stopping villains and also their teams are lowkey really well thought out for a one off movie (like each one has a pretty balanced skill set). i've only watching like 35 minutes so far but tbh i love it its so fun and also gives us a window into how the characters have evolved over the course of the story (like compare this to the team from movie 1 they've gotten SO MUCH better at working together and playing off each other's strengths) and what the day to day in that time in between deku coming back and the final battles looked like

Also having read hus Biography, I can state the rather unfortunate reasoning for the use of the N word was shoe polish.

Yeah it was used as a colour name on those tins, hence him using it as a noun in HtGE, he basically was trying to say the boys looked like they had been covered in shoe polish, and wrote it in the worst way possible.

a reminder that

• the Rev Awdry named Mavis after his neighbor

• Daisy and Mavis were the only diesels to have a redemption arc

• Daisy was the first diesel owned by the NWR, and the first diesel to not be prejudiced against steam engines (every female diesel would follow this trend)

• Chris Awdry chose a pair of female diesels to succeed Gordon

• despite both Daisy and Mavis undergoing similar character development, they are unique in personality. They are also friends and don't try to undercut one another

• Annie and Clarabel are written as more sensible than Thomas, the Skarloey coaches are written as unruly and mischievous to their engines, and Henrietta is written as Toby's equal (character diversity)

• the Rev Awdry's wife is the whole reason we have the books, and ergo, the TVS

The man never cared about gender. He cared about good characters.

The shadowy embodiment of a little girl is violently playing the tambourine

School Briefs is a treasure trove.

Katsuki: Ha your the clown.

Denki: Actually Jesters were well respected members of the court as due to their status of being allowed to insult the reigning monarch they were the most trusted advisers being as they were unaffected by blind loyalty.

Katsuki: I keep forgetting you know shit.

Ahh yes everyone with their weird little banks of high level knowledge.
