The Tilly Orifice

“The Tilly Orifice” might sound like a poorly named lesbian bar, but it was actually a crucial field modification for British fighter planes. See, in WW2 the famous Spitfire and it’s counterpart the Hawker Hurricane both used the famous Merlin engine. The Merlin was a wonderful design but the carburetor that fed it fuel would stop working if you flew the plane upside down, and the engine would…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again

21st century Merlin is an absolutely horrific driver. The worst.

#‘I’ve never been in an accident’#yeah he thinks that because he never uses his rear view mirror #also idc how much money he has he exclusively drives a Shit box that has 1 side mirror and a massive scratch and the engine light is in #*on #permanently.#bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin x arthur #merlin emrys

[2015]

“You did it!!” Philip squealed. “You really did it!!”

Merlin smiled down at the energetic little shunter.

“He just hid behind a line of vans, out of sight.” Duck grunted, unimpressed. “That's not 'becoming invisible’. That's hardly even a parlor trick.”

“That's not true! I saw him disappear!” Philip protested.

“Sorry, Duck,” Merlin smiled, “but I wasn't behind those vans. Maybe you saw another engine, or perhaps some grey tankers? We do seem to have quite a few of those.”

“I know the difference between a line of tankers and a steam engine.” Duck reproached.

But at that moment, Stanley passed by, shunting the vans away, and revealing a row of silver tankers, just as Merlin had suggested.

“Well-” the pannier tank stammered, “well that just proves my point. Merlin was hiding behind those vans. How else would he have known about the tankers?”

Despite the sound argument, Duck's voice betrayed him. The rebuttal came out wavering and uncertain. Philip's laughter only made Duck's face burn as Merlin strode off, seemingly unbothered by the ordeal.

I adore the steelworks gang, like more than I've seen other people express online.

First of all...

My little icon Lexi.

They have been known and initially regarded for their silly voices and jolly nature but I don't often see people looking into why they do it. Like their voices make them more wild than Marion who's generally loved by some fans but they also do it in spite of themselves. They and Theo did an entire upbeat song about how much they are failures to railway engineering with lyrics like:

"We're experiments gone bad

in other words whoever designed us must be mad."

These are not the words of someone with self esteem in how funny they are! They even showed them actually depressed when saying 'We can't do anything.' for the final time in the special.

And anyone who knew how long it took for more in-your-face LGBT+ representation in 2018 She-Ra will know that if this special just came out three or four years later, we might've had proper gender-fluid Lexi representation.

As for Theo...

He is still a pure little bean and I feel the ambiguity of his design makes it all the more reason for him to feel bad about his design. I don't know what about his design warranted gigantic cogs on his sides but we don't know what went on in whatever workshop he was built at. For all we know he could've had the Henry treatment, having been dumped on the doorstep on the first desperate railway executive needed an engine, as a last ditch effort for a dying manufacturer.

As for him being on the spectrum, I can still see it in his behaviour. Lexi was truly not gender fluid but once you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person.

And some characteristics are visible in him.

His unintentional bluntness. "Are you being scrapped?"

His tics and stutters.

His shakes in excitement, if you were to count it as stimming.

And who's to say he's not limited to physical disabilities? He and Lexi, depending on how successful you can view it having designs as unique as them on British rails, are the perfect ones to have given the body language they were adamant on giving all the engines back then.

Him being so gentle and anxious is generally adorable, so yeah, not so much to say about his actual personality.

Speaking of not much to say, not much to say on Merlin either, at least nothing that people haven't said already. We all know how awesome he is.

Beresford is MY MAN!

Beresford just wants a friend guys. He said in his own song that he was always ignored by engines who just want to get a job done. No time to chat with him. Loneliness can drive him mad. It is kinda sad that his appearance in Royal Engine was not only a sign of the further appearances these characters could've had but how it was also kinda a rehash of the scene we got in his last appearance, so maybe an episode of his own where he learnt to make friends properly would've been fun.

Ah well, at least he got some friends in another life.

And what can I say about Hurricane?

Keeping it real, working with steel.

Since 1902

He is such a chill guy, that while his companion might've had a lot of hard labour in mind for Thomas, he seems so genuine in wanting to take Thomas in while still acknowledging his terrible position. He could've done with standing up to Frankie though. But whatever, that's meant to be a part of his character, and he was voiced by the chad Jim Howick no less.

It's so funny when people say he sounded like a member of the royal family when he's played kings before.

And then there's Frankie.

Oh my god I adore her so much. Her manipulation being legitimately intimidating at the best times, especially when she's actually chasing Thomas down in the dead of night, her musical style bribing him into working for her, her VA's performance capturing all of her personality through line delivery perfectly.

Everything about her class, her demeanour, most of her lines makes me so curious about her whole life.

How is she running this steelworks better than the human manager of the works if there even is one? How are the human workmen so ok with her doing this? How did the other engines before Thomas get into doing her work? How did they get out? How did Hurricane stay with her for this long, let alone not encourage some potential friends of his to work with her? Was she indirectly responsible for Hurricane surviving as long as he did to still be a tank engine after she was built? Why didn't the railways surrounding this fictional steelworks not agree with this most likely non-existent human manager not just agree to get a lot of their engines to transport steel from their works? What did Frankie do? What are you hiding from us!?

The whole mystery surrounding her and her apparently feeling put-down and apparently not evil at heart according to her character profile and her role in the book 'Delivery at the Docks' makes her potential crimes such a goldmine for story potential that I really want to delve into very soon.
