Hc for Edwards coaches? Its weird to me that we know nothing about them

Oh, there’s a short answer to this: Edward doesn’t have a dedicated set of coaches.

(But I'm gonna make this a long answer, because I can’t help myself)

He’s not in Thomas or Duck’s position for much of canon. The ‘Locals’ we see him taking would have coaches drawn from the main line common pool. There are two push-pull trains for the bulk of Brendam line stopping traffic but, obviously, Edward doesn’t handle them.

He probably could have a dedicated long-term set of coaches for the Tidmouth-Brendam fast but, well, here’s the thing. One, those twice daily trains are not exclusively his because he’s very ready to offer them to a visitor who shows any interest (if they’re capable — Edward did learn something from the affair of Thomas and his trucks lol).

But there’s also the matter that, after a while with a steady rake on the Tidmouth-Brendam route, Edward is awfully prone to arranging for some other set of coaches that he notices is under-utilised getting to take over the job in turn.

Given his own experience out of service, he’s very sensitive to that sort of thing. It makes him great at managing coaching stock on the Wellsworth and Suddery section as a whole. They have a bit of an excess coaches, including a good many survivors from the N.W.R.’s earliest days (some of these survived because Edward discreetly hoarded them during the worst days of the Depression... and then helpfully procured them in good working order when WWII hit... and sometimes hid them again, in the early days of nationalisation, until things settled down...), and they’re kept around to deal with special charters and periods of higher traffic. Edward’s very good at keeping an eye on their maintenance and matchmaking temporary/visiting/new engines with coaches that they will work well with (and mediating, on the rare occasion when it’s a mismatch).

As a result of all this, coaches in his sphere have great affection and respect for Edward — but, over the years, he has at times had a “To know what we want, you do need to sometimes Ask Us and then Actually Listen” problem.

Not everyone wants to wake up early every possible day and push themselves a little behind their limits forever and ever and ever. Most vintage coaches do not actually secretly pine for a turn on the Brendam fast, with its sprint down a fifth of a main line and the sharp turn onto the branch combining to make your vacuum start to really tear into you if you have to do it too often. Thanks for thinking of us, but some of us are perfectly content only working three months out of the year. No, we don’t feel this way because we’re depressed, the problem is not that we’ve been neglected and given up, because we haven’t a problem and this isn’t actually about you, dear. (Edward, with his engine brain: '... impossible!...') Sometimes there is a set of coaches that are actually amenable to being retired (!) and Edward has had to learn to, y’know, accept that, rather than try to “fix” things. (He has so many resources these days to fix these things! It’s never been easier to fix these things! It’s ever so much easier to fix things than coming to grips with others having different ideas about (im)mortality than you do…!)

Tea for Two to Tango

Closed starter for @risingshine (Chiasa)

There was always something new to be surprised by and excited for. So far from home, in such a strange land, the last thing Sentine ever expected to find was a shrine that would have looked right at home in Doma. The huge gate had caught her attention and left her gaping for a long moment before she made up her mind to venture in and pay respects to the kami here, provided it was a good kami.

Before passing through the gateway, she stopped to remove most of her adventuring gear. Scythe, armor, potions, traveling tools, even setting her shoes aside. Only then did she slowly walk through, taking in all the sights around her.

Once at the shrine proper, she stood outside, head bowed. This seemed like a calm, friendly, and oddly warm place. Although, the multitude of strange little puffball creatures roaming around didn't seem to mind the heat. They kept wiggling their paws and chittering at her in an admittedly cute way. Going inside, she knelt before the altar, placing a small satchel of gil as an offering before turning up one of her palms. "O kami of this strange land, I offer you this thanks of coin and aether, that it may appease you and nourish you." Energy flowed from her, a mixture of elemental aspects that seemed heaviest of light and shadow.

Hey guys! I have something to confess. I noticed that i am not as active on this app as I used to be. And I hope that’s okay with you guys. I just think it’s time for me to take a permanent break. I think that I just never have the time to post on this account and audiences don’t… really… like that soooo. Im gonna take a very long break and I hope you guys don’t mind. And I really hope you guys aren’t too mad when I say @delinkquent-archives will also be gone for a long while. I will occasionally still come back to like posts and stuff and for LU updates but I think now is a good time to let go of my account :) I really hope creators are still doing lovely! I want to thank @majorproblems77 and @hotcheetohatredwastaken because they helped me the most while I was on this app. I know 5-6 months isnt a lot, but I have busier things in my life than Tumblr. So, I sincerely apologize, and I hope you guys keep doing the things you do best. :)

Goodbye and ily all!!!

That feeling when you can't enjoy Eric Venue like everyone else because he shares the name of your abusive father 😥 On the plus side, it can be comforting to imagine father and son helping me get over it haha. ( I sent something like this to Jangmi too, so if they answer it and this seems familiar then it's the same person. Gotta vent to friends, right?)

Hello Anonie 🌺💚💞

Let me start off by saying, thank you for feeling comfortable enough with me to vent about this ☺️🫂🌺 and I’m sure Jangmi would say the same🌷

I’m not sure if I’m saying this right but I’m sorry if all this talk about Vil’s father brought up any uncomfortable feelings/memories for you and I hope you are doing well Anonie.

I believe the name Eric Venue is his stage name. So if he’s seeing you having trouble, I’m sure both him and Vil would switch to his casual name. Vil’s father is really adorable and caring for his son and how he treated his friends, so I can see him taking the extra steps to comfort you.

If you feel comfortable, I can see you three work together to get over it. But it is always based on your comfort levels Anonie.

(Please filter out the name Anonie if it’s hard for you. Health comes first always dear Anonie 🙏💞🌺)

I promised myself I wasn’t going to write Hades fic right now, but then I stumbled onto @magusculpa‘s comic Ease Off and I couldn’t help myself. That Zagchilles kiss scene awakened something in me, and I absolutely love the flashes of Patroclus in the background. It’s so beautiful and emotional it just scrambles my brain 😭

The Zagchilles kiss that flowed from my pen is a little bit angstier, but I hope it will be a worthy homage anyway. I’ll likely post this on Ao3 later, but for now...

POV Achilles

-

Risk it all, huh? Zagreus leaned in, his grip tentative in my chlamys, fearful fingers curled in the loose fabric. Fearful of rejection, perhaps. That I would push him away and refuse him. That I would not return his feelings. That after this, nothing would ever be the same between us.

Fear is for the weak. A lesson repeated in perpetuum, and one the student had learned better than his teacher. For all the nervous tremble to his lashes, there was no hesitation as Zagreus leaned in and claimed my lips for his own. He moved slowly, granting me ample time to pull away, but I did nothing, standing frozen beneath the motion of those lips on mine.

They were soft. Gods, how they were soft. I'd almost forgotten the feel of another's mouth against my own: the warmth of another's lips on mine, the moist brush along the seam of my mouth, the heat of a body bleeding through my clothes as he pressed closer. He tilted his head further, so utterly gentle as his lips moved on mine, exploring, seeking something that I was not sure I could give. His face was so serene, so impossibly hopeful, his mismatched eyes closed against the world so that naught but he and I remained and-- Why was I watching him? This isn't right, this isn't how it's supposed to--

Hesitation had crept into Zagreus's kiss, his lips faltering against mine and the barest furrow marring his brow. My unbeating heart seemed to pound in my chest and bubble up my throat, the rush of blood through my ears more memory than reality. But this kiss, this kiss was real, and if I didn't act soon, Zagreus was going to pull away before I'd resolved what to make of that.

Close your eyes, if it makes it easier...

My eyes drifted closed, shutting out everything but his kiss, until naught remained in all the underworld but the feeling of his lips on mine and his shaky breath against my skin. All at once, it was easier. It was a simple thing to melt into his touch, to wrap him in an embrace and cup the back of his head in my hand. My lips parted beneath his, allowing him in to explore, and his tongue brushed haltingly against mine.

His touch was tender, the tentative first flutter of a butterfly's wings. A quiet sigh of relief slipped from him, tension leeching from the tight muscles of his back as I pulled him against me, giving in to the power of that kiss. So long. It had been so long since I'd held him like this, fingers curling in his thick dark locks and my tongue twined with his. I tilted my head to get a better angle, passion arcing like lightning down nerves dulled by disuse. I deepened the kiss, mouthing greedily at him, tongues clashing and my nose crushed into the warmth of his cheek so I could breathe deeply of his familiar....

He smelled of pomegranates and flame and the faint tang of iron. Tears pricked in the back of my nose as I clung to the memory of a different scent. Of sea foam and salt, and of the oil he used to use on his armor. Of sunbeams on his skin, and the musty tang of sweat after a long day spent fighting at each other's sides. Of blood and ash as my lips closed over cold flesh. No. No. Not that last. Anything but that.

His kiss was nothing like Patroclus's. Zagreus was gentle. His lips melded to mine and yielded to me. He did not fight me as I claimed his mouth with my own, surrendering easily and giving himself over to my lead. Every kiss with Patroclus had been a battle, twin flames of passion rising to war in a clash of lips and tongues and teeth until our lungs burned with the need for air and our hearts burned with the need for each other. Even our moments of tenderness had been intense, my whole body seeming aflame with the strength of my love for him. If Patroclus's kiss had been a tempest over the churning mists of the wine dark sea, Zagreus's was the gentle lap of waves upon the shore, carrying with it a serenity that was as unfamiliar as it was comforting.

In life I had burned hot, passion and love and anger a searing heat even in moments of peace. Perhaps the flames of Hades could reforge me into a gentler man, capable of the sort of soft affection that suffused Zagreus's kiss. Perhaps it already had.

If only I could kiss Patroclus like this now. Free from the burdens and folly of life, with the gentle wisdom that only death can bring. He deserves tenderness and sweet kisses and the soothing brush of sweet lips upon his skin.

He deserved better. Better than I had offered him in life. Better than I could offer him in death. Better... Would that I could lay him down upon the rolling fields of Elysium and love him properly. I'd press my lips against his brow, his cheeks, the tip of his nose and the delicate backs of his eyelids. I would cover every inch of his flesh with my worship, and only then would I dare to brush his lips with my own, gently and cautiously. Zagreus's kiss, passed through my lips to his. It seemed the lad still had a great deal to teach me, if I was willing to let him. If I was willing to risk it all. To forgive myself for my past mistakes and permit myself the cruelty of hope. To set aside my fears and embrace an eternity spent not in mourning but in love. Fear is for the weak. Fear is for the weak. Fear is for the weak.

-- And I but a lowly ant beneath its heel.  

Wetness spilled like blood drops down my cheek to slip between our lips and bloom salt over my tongue. Zagreus jolted in my grasp, his eyes flying open as he pulled back. "Achilles? Are you... Is everything alright?"

My hands fell from him as my own eyes drifted open slower, reality settling itself back upon my shoulders like Atlas's burden. "I'm alright, lad. Just lost to memories better left to the mists of time."

"I-- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-- Well, I did, but..." His hands slipped from my shoulders to hang lamely at his sides, his lower lip caught between his teeth as he shifted uncertainly, unsure what to do.

Part of me wanted to comfort him, wanted to assure him that he had done no wrong and that I did not fault him for his affections. The rest of me ached like an old scab torn open, and when I opened my mouth, what came out was not the placid reassurances that I'd intended but, "You should go, lad. Leave this old shade to his ghosts. For now, at least."

Zagreus hesitated. He started to reach for me, but when I stepped back out of his grasp he let his arm drop to his side, resignation in the set of his eyes and the wilted laurels about his crown. "Alright. I... I'm sorry, sir." He turned away, the echo of his bare feet on the tile seeming painfully final as he left me to my sorrow.

Risk it all, he'd said. But what were you supposed to do once you'd gambled and lost?

Don't like: Owen Milligan & Frankie/Jonah

Owen Milligan: I liked seeing him help train Anya for the army and his bond with Tristan in s12, but aside from that, he’s a fucking sleazeball. I am down to read fic where he does grow and change properly tho.

Fronah: I liked them as a couple in s1-2 and in s3, aside from the online stalking and Frankie being all pouty about Jonah not wanting to fuck her, I think they were cute.

The Rift has been acting… odd recently. Which is nothing unusual, really, given that the Rift is a literal rip in the fabric of spacetime and Grian tends to expect odd things to pop out at a moment’s notice.

Nothing could have prepared him for this, however.

Steve use to tolerate the Summer season. It was never his favorite season persay, because he favors the cold weather. He layers on the clothing and he gets to wear his beloved coats and scarfs. More so when he has Billy to keep him warm and toasty under the covers. The boy runs hot like a damn furnace.

But ever since he started dating the California native, Summers are a whole different playing field. Theirs something mesmerizing about Billy in a white tank, and his ass in short shorts. How his long legs shine from the fuzz there catching the sun. He's like a fucking Adonis, radiating the sun rays like a god damn halo. Steve is not one to show alot of skin, he hardly takes of his shirt even if it's too hot.

Not because he's self conscious, he knows what he looks like. He's just not use to it. But Billy, he could give two shits and he will easily remove his tank top and waltz around like Gods gift to man. Honestly who can blame him. Steve loves him all the more for it.

There's something special about being fucked into the mattress on days where it's well past 90 degrees and his room feels like a sauna. Billy's weight on him as he fucks him nice and slow. The window slightly a jar. He can feel the breeze on his face and how Billy must feel it too. The skin on his back prickles from it. Steve digs his nails on his soft tanned skin.

They're both sweaty from the heat and the sex alone, and Steve feels like it's so stuffy he can barely breath. But the oxygen deprivation is worth it and he could careless so long as Billy keeps this delicious pace, hitting his favorite spot. Over and over and over again.

Kissing and licking his salty skin. Running his hands through those sun kissed curls. It's fucking heaven. He will happily die from heatstroke, because Billy is the sun. Their is no denying it, Steve loves the Summer season all thanks to Billy.

Mal was still deciding wether or not he liked this prince charming privateer.  He was the type to smell of magic and heartbreak and play the hero he denies himself to be. After all, dreams that come true can be beautiful, but they can also turn into nightmares when people won't wake up. It wasn’t that he was jealous of his flirtations with Alina. Absolutely not. He felt supremely out of place in this meeting room. Not that he didn’t enjoy the warmth of the air and the deserts set out elegantly. It was surprisingly joyful for a war room- or a makeshift one at that. Everyone else had peetered out at the room leaving him swimming in the jewel toned eyes of the cavilar leader. His back straightening slightly. Mouth dipping slighly into a frown. It isn’t that he dislikes the man. In fact, they might be close friends on other circumstances. It was hard for the tracker. Knowing that they were in here in the lap of luxury when there were kids ilke him out there starving. It only got worse when the man seemed to beckon him forward. “I suppose it’s you and me, your highness, or- captain?”

10 11 and 14 for the s/i asks <33

Thank you so much for sending this, friend!! Sorry it took me so long to get to .w.

(source: “self-insert ask game!” by kissofthemoonrabbit)

10. who was your first self-insert? - Hmm.. After thinking about it for a bit, I think the answer might be Amber, who I currently use as one of my Skyrim self-inserts but who was originally created as my character in a Minecraft RP (because her character concept in both games is identical: got attacked by a dragon, has the same kind of powers as that dragon, but fights against it for the sake of the ordinary people instead of giving in to her nature and siding with it).

However, it’s tricky to establish the divide between “this is who I’m playing as in the game” and “this is a specific self-insert who exists beyond just being a playstyle on a save file”; this divide is why self-inserts like Emily don’t count. Skyrim was definitely one of the first instances of me using a specific name that isn’t my own for my character, but Camille also originated from the same server Amber did (and I know I made her after I played Amber), and Carmine was not specifically established until later on even though I did play as a Khajiit quite a bit.

11. choose a song to apply to your self-insert! - Haha, I can try. So far, I’ve only been able to do this for a few self-inserts, and with most songs it’s less “songs that apply/fit if you imagine her singing it” and more “songs with the same vibes” (for example, Shinkai City Underground by TanakaB and Babylon by Tohma are both Lamia songs for the latter reason). However, for a song that applies.. MONSTER by Kira is Aria’s arguable main character song. I have a whole PV for it featuring her in my head, depicting her taking revenge on a particular unsavoury individual from her/my past.

14. choose a self-insert and put her, unaltered, into a different source. how does that world receive her? - Again, my instinct is to use Aria for this one because this is literally what she does within the context of Kingdom Hearts’ canon; she and Aqua travel to worlds threatened by invading Heartless or darkness from a villain, with Aqua working more traditionally alongside the important heroes of that world to help them defeat the Heartless while Aria goes to the villain causing the problem, claims to be able to help them with their goals, but instead passes on information to Aqua and the other protagonists, while also siphoning the villain’s darkness away to weaken them and then using it to defeat them to save that world.

In these instances, she is received as an apparent antagonist, using her inhuman features like her wings to show the villains her powerful darkness and convince them to let her “assist” (read: weaken and leak info about) them, only to have never been on their side at all and get to have the satisfaction of taking them down alongside the other heroes. Alternatively, sometimes Aria and Aqua travel other worlds together in order to scout for new potential Keyblade wielders, and in those cases Aqua’s magic can make them both appear to fit into the world more easily, but only if necessary; for example, if they were to go to Alrest, Aria would claim to be Aqua’s Blade to explain her unusual appearance and powers (as she’d still want her wings to be visible, in order to fly).

I hope that those answers were alright! Thank you very much again for sending this in ^-^

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!

and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!

#i mostly made this for me but i hope it can help other people too! #also thinking about maybe putting this on smth like gumroad so people can download a high quality pdf to print themselves #lmk if anyone would be interested in that 👀 #my art #artists on tumblr #stretches #edit: this post popped off okay‚ also a lot of people expressed interest so i made a gumroad! maybe ill put other stuff there thatd be cool
