I realized that those hillbilly engines from Misty Island Rescue existed so I decided to make them mascots for a Mtn. Dew-type soda called "Misty Moonshine" in my AU.
I’m in a special ttte server and I did a request stream today! I had so much fun! Might do it again sometime soon. Some are canon characters and the rest are Oc’s.
What’s a good way to get out of art block and make designs for characters you’ve been putting off? Drawing memes made by @uselessalexis165 and @capybaras-blog of course!
Monster Engines au Misty Island headcanons: The Misty Islands lads (Bash, Dash and Ferdinand) have monster bodies more akin to grizzly bears than wolves (unlike more of the engines on Sodor). As a result, they eat large fishes, coal, berries, sometimes smaller critters and of course, honey. They especially like Maple Meringues...courtesy of Y/N.
Speaking of Y/N, the lads enjoys their reputations as scary beasts and like to put on a show of fright when unlucky visitors comes by Misty Island. They are genuinely puzzled when Y/N is not spooked at all by them...Until Thomas comes out of his hiding place.
''Aw, no fair, Thomas! You should have told us they knew monsters!''
''Worth it! 😁''
Edward is at first not very warm towards them. He finds them too rambuctious. But Y/N gets along with them well and loves to play with them.
Y/N invented a game with Bash and Dash: They will sing a song to the tune of the conga line song and after the first verses, Y/N gets to tell them what to sing next. For example:
(When Bash and Dash learns that Y/N has a sweetheart:
Bash and Dash: Y/N got a sweetheart! Y/N got a sweetheart! Y/N got a sweetheart! Y/N got a sweetheart!
Y/N: (As they see Edward and James approaching) There comes the two lovebirds! There comes the two lovebirds!
Bash and Dash: There comes the two lovebirds! There comes the two lovebirds!
Since I don't really get all the hate about logging locos moreover I myself just LOVE them
Here's my small list of headcanons about them 🌹(that's quite related to my human au (one and only ttte au that I have) so yeah they're humanized)
• Bash and Dash are both aroace and Ferdinand is achillean
• When Ferdinand goes out for the work he ALWAYS comes back with his pockets full of pinecones
• When it comes to differences between Bash and Dash - they are completely different. It is not only about their appearance but also about their personalities. While Bash is quite calmer, Dash is more open and energetic especially when it comes to interacting with other creatures. And it affected their life on Sodor, too. Bash had to deal with some difficulties for the first time, but passed through it (with the help of his brother and friends)
• Ferdinand himself may be plain and silly and funny and frumpy... but he's that type of character that always seem to make almost everyone around to like him. It's sort of magic.
• While they were at the Steamworks, Bash and Dash really got along with Kevin. They told him a lot of stories about their life on the Misty Island and in the Mainland.
