Because most of the episodes I watched and had on home video as a kid were from seasons 8 and 9, Emily's bossiness never stuck out to me. Due to how often the cast threw jabs at one another. I only saw her introductory episode maybe 3 times growing up and then forgot about it for over a decade. Her personality change flew right over my head.

Regardless, she quickly became my favorite character. Not only did I really love her spotlight episodes, but her daydreaming resonated a lot with me due to having undiagnosed ADHD at the time. I couldn't put a name to what I was experiencing, but I could recognize it.

i wholeheartedly agree! i grew up with most of the classic series on home video, but the HiT era eps were the ones airing on TV when i was little. so watching, say, season 5 then going to emily's HiT episodes I didn't notice much difference in terms of her behavior. if emily had been around during more of the classic seasons, some of her "bossy" lines would fit seams into them. as awful as the HiT era's writing can be, "oh, i AM sorry, sorry you didn't listen to me!" will forever be iconic. she killed thomas with that one.

i also thought her spotlight eps for the most part were pretty good. snowplow is iconic, emilys new route made her a sympathetic protagonist, halloween is perfect, emily knows best gives her an interesting conflict with toby, emily and the special coaches does the same with diesel, emilys rubbish is hilarious, and excellent emily really nails her more self righteous traits.

and while i myself dont have adhd, i do headcanon emily as some flavor of neurodivergent. she wants to do her jobs only in the way that she sees fit, sort of like duck, who a lot of people agree is autistic. also throwing in projection lol

thank you for this lovely, well thought out ask anon!

idc if im on the wrong blog for this but i need to know is the wicked smaht a reference to that one losing finalist due (jake? jacob?) from survivor 45 or am i just playing the autism connection game in my brain

After reading your post of who we would most likely like in Adonis AI based on our Blooming Panic faves, how would you correlate NakedToaster to Felix 🧐

lonely

difficulty with being expressive

stuttery in romantic situations

[points] WHITE

wicked smaht

there's some others, but they're too spoilery

as an american i forget that some of the thomas characters are voiced by british celebrities. so imagine my surprise when im watching the uk version of hole in the wall (long story) and i hear sonny's voice. joe swash was participating in a celebrity special of the show! and now i cant get the image of sonny trying to get his giant well tank engine self to fit into the titular Hole In The Wall ™️

this is incredible analysis? this is such an interesting perspective to put emily's characterization in and its kind of gorgeous?? likr wow. it all makes so much sense. thank you for this post!

While I'm in an Emily mood, I may as well just share this ☝️ Magnificent documentary work, and features wonderful footage of Stirling Single No. 1.

I knew that the Great Northern Singles had the pretty glamorous job spearheading the express services up to Scotland and repping their company in the Great Races—

But here are some details I didn't know, and, from the perspective of Emily's characterization, they are just fascinating:

1. On an occasion where an engine ran less than one minute late on the express service, the G.N.R. made a point of apologizing profusely and citing "beastly weather" for the unconscionable delay.

2. Stirling did not put a front coupling link on this class because he expected that they would never need to be helped by another engine. Ever.

Um.

WOW?

Emily the New Build might be on the wayside in my personal headcanon—the notion of Emily the Ex-Top Link Golden Child trying to re-learn everything she knows about life after those insanely high-pressure expectations is in.

#the history bitch in me is screaming for not connecting these dots sooner #but i feel baptized in my perception of emily #like seeing her with fresh eyes #now i NEED to see emily and arthur bonding over learning how to not be so hard on themselves #reblog #ttte #ttte emily

“we need more complex female characters” there's still people in the fandom that hate her for being bossy yet gas up guys like Spencer and Alfred the nonexistent b12.

#everything about this is SO REAL #hit era emily is incredible. halloween. snowplow. emilys new route. excellent emily. chefs kiss eps #also her dynamic with toby in emily knows best? gorgeous #i think part of the reason emily also gets shit on a lot is bc ttte is such a male dominated fandom #but yall arent ready for that discussion #ttte emily #reblog
