All I’m saying is there are a lot of people out there that will make the — entirely accurate — observation that you cannot just take Izzy at his word that he is the most competent pirate ever who has been single-handedly managing Ed’s mood and his crew for ages now, and then will turn around and take everything Mary says and about how she characterizes her relationship with Stede as gospel.

no let’s talk about cScott’s strategy in the life series being the social game. Let’s talk about how he’ll just kinda play nice with everyone and get to very high placements as a result. Do you wonder if his past allies feel used by him? If they feel like they’re just part of the strategy of his own game? Did you realize how rarely Scott has recurring alliances? Do you think they wonder about if they were just someone Scott could get to a higher result to feel good about? Or someone that could get him the win? Or are you normal
all I’m saying is usually we go on lengthy talks about Scott being nice and sweet and wholesome but this guy (character) is good at the murder game! Really worryingly good! Let’s delve into that some more!

Working on one of the asks and just, sidenote, but I really have to laugh (again) about the whole nicknaming of “Gordon’s hill.”
It’s already a fabulous roast if a hill on which, canonically, other engines besides Gordon require banking (even as late as 1957!!) is still named after him... and him alone.
But it’s even funnier because, sure, TVS likes to make Gordon needing help a regular thing. But. Wilbert Awdry never established that. It is canon-compliant to his work in that it’s not ruled out, but he never suggested anywhere I can see in RWS canon that Gordon ever needed a banker again.
And then Christopher Awdry specifically says in Gordon the High-Speed Engine that Gordon stuck on this hill “once.”
Once.
And look, if people don’t accept C. Awdry stuff in their personal canon, no judgment. But I just need you to take a moment and acknowledge how hi-larious it is if you incorporate this fact into your belief system.
Gordon needed a banker ONE. TIME. literally a hundred and one years ago (and, crucially, didn’t thank him. i think that detail is key in understanding how we got here) and is still payin’ for that to this day.

kind of obsessed with the concept of soundwave smelling like an "alright guy" to ravage when they first met, too. like what does that mean. what does it mean to Smell like a good person. ravage can just smell the vibes of people and assign them moral alignment?? it's so funny to me
YEAH YEAH HEHAHSHDF you smell like a cool guy I guess come join my evil family
She had also mentioned that she smelled his fear so I think it’s actually a really cool concept of her being able to smell emotions n like. Vibes. n stuff
