Alright, so- I redesigned Lady- and rewrote her lore a bit, which I shall talk about in a different post

I think the whole AU in general is gonna get a but of a rewrite but I'm not sure, so don't take my word on that- even if I do change things up, it's just that the wingmen can and do have differently coloured wings- again, not sure yet

Anyway she's adorable and I love her :3

Also she has gold dust arms now ;)

Go Out There And Change The World

"Go out there and change the world." He said it so often and now all that's left is a box and all the memories. Gordon could still hear Arrow's tired, raspy voice as he looked at the tiny snippet of what was once probably a school exercise book, rushed handwriting and all.

Arrow was one of Gordon's biggest supporters, besides Polly and North. Gordon could still remember that signature shaky but genuine smile that would cross Arrow's face as the young Gordon babbled to him about his day. He could still recall the shaking hand that signed his first football jersey, which was neatly folded and put in the cardboard box he rediscovered not too long ago. Under the old, worn out jersey that was in surprisingly good condition was a photograph. It was of a young adult Arrow and a pre-teen Gordon, having their first adventures in the kitchen. Tears began rolling down Gordon's cheeks as he was reminded of all the hours he'd spent with his oldest brother. "I could've- no, I should've spent so much more time with him." he thought to himself as he set the fragile photo down on the floor and focused on the box once again. Another picture, this time of Arrow and North.

The two were practically inseparable, apart for not more than 5 minutes at a time. On the back of the photo was text written in the same rushed handwriting that the little snippet had that read "Even if I can't change the world, I'll be here for you while you try."

Arrow wasn't the strongest physically, but nothing could break his spirit. He could be on his death bed and he'd still encourage you to stay positive and do something good for the world, or at least your own. He knew he didn't have as much time as his siblings, but he made the best of it.

He was there for North when he and Mallard grew distant, watched as the latter took off, helped Mary with her dreams of becoming a historian, encouraged Windsor to follow his hairdresser dreams, walked Polly to her music classes every day and of course.. he watched as Gordon and Scott grew up to be the siblings they are today. Arrow unfortunately didn't get to really see Bonny grow up, but his influence on his other siblings definitely left its mark on the little girl. He got to meet her once before he passed, and he made sure to tell her what he told their other siblings: "Go out there and change the world."

Gordon looked through all the photographs of his siblings, not even thinking about stopping the tears from falling down his face.

After he put down the photos, he picked up an old, worn out, faded picture book. It was Arrow's favourite to read to his siblings at bedtime, the pages completely faded to white where he flipped them. He could hear his brother's voice as he read the simple story. By now, there was only one thing left in the box: a white teddy bear, holding a blue heart. There was a tag attached to the toy's ear, reading "For my Shooting Star. Go out there and change the world." still in the same rushed handwriting, though even messier than the other handwritten notes. It was probably one of the last things Arrow wrote by hand before he passed on.

She'd never dance after this man took her mind away

The officer's words rang in Polly's ears. She hasn't spoke with her sister ever since she married and moved away. To be fair she never tried to reach out. She'd just hear about Bonny from Scott or Gordon in brief conversations, but she was uninterested. In her eyes Bonny was a spoiled, rotten, cruel woman who took great pleasure in making younger sister suffer. Now it'd all change. This policeman was sitting there, telling her that Bonny's husband had her undergo a lobotomy and now was dead after being robbed and they had to take Bonny in again, since after the lobotomy she was unable to function on her own. Polly could feel rage build up inside, after years of relentless bullying, teasing and abuse, she had to jump around that wicked creature, taking care of her. Scotsman obviously refused, so did Mallard and Spencer. They all experienced Bonny's outrageous behaviour. Sadly it turned out that Polly found herself all alone in Bonny's house, caring for her sister. She tried to invite Gordon over since he refused to visit the family home, but he declined the offer. She felt lonely, getting more and more annoyed at the constant sound of "Swan Lake" playing. She burst into Bonny's room, about to berate her but stopped, the blush clearing from her face. Bonny sat there, she didn't have her signature snooty and stern look, instead she appeared happy and innocent, captivated by the music she once danced to. This sight made Polly tear up. She grew up to fear her sister, to resent her, but deep inside she always longed for her approval and love. And seeing Bonny fly through the air while performing was the only time she didn't feel scared, expecting another blow. These were the moments where all of the struggles only Bonny knew about seemed to fade away and she could truly be happy. Polly was hit with the realisation that these moments were gone. This woman, sitting there on the bed was no longer her sister. It was just a ghost who looked and sounded like her. The younger woman shuffled up to the bed, sitting down on it, feeling the tears build up in her eyes. She could imagine that maybe if Bonny got the help she needed, just maybe they'd be like real siblings. Maybe she'd have an older sister who loved and supported her. There were so many things she wanted to tell her, but now? This wasn't Bonny. She barely recognised people around her. Could she even recall their names? -Polly.- -Wh- what?- she blinked, looking at her sister- -Polly.- Bonny repeated, her voice didn't have any anger in it, no tease. She was just saying her name, recognising her presence, her voice soft and even kind- -Yes. That's my name.- Polly said, giving her sister a suspicious look- -I know it's your name.- Bonny seemed detatched- I love music. Don't you? - -Yes. Yes I do.- Polly turned the radio off -You must rest my sister.- -I must rest.- Bonny echoed, sitting stiffly Polly left her room, going to Bonny's husband's study. She sat down at the desk, taking out a piece of paper and a fountain pen, writing a letter. "Dear Brother It's seems like years since I've last seen you. I hope things on Sodor are going well for you and that Edward and your kitties are feeling well. Sadly in here thinks haven't been well. As you know Bonny hasn't been feeling well. Her husband had her lobotomized. It's truly awful. He was punished for taking her mind away, he was robbed and killed. Bonny's different now. She's not cruel to me anymore, or anyone. But she doesn't dance either. She's neither angry or happy now. She's gone. When she was still herself I allowed myself to hope that maybe one day she'll love me, be kind to me. She wasn't wicked, she was sick. And we had no idea. My biggest wish is that I could take it back, help her. Really help her, find her illness and kill it before it kills her. Please, for the love of God. Come here. Spend the Christmas with us. I can't bear to look at her like this. Your dearest sister, Polly" Ehhh I'm not good at fics. I need some practice haha

#not good at fics #what do you mean you're ?#thIS IS SOME AMAZING SHIT GOOD SIR #May or may not be crying <3 #that's a good thing #prime angst right here #keep it up and don't listen to those who say you can't write #you're an awesome writer #ttte #ttte oc #ttte human au #ttte humanised #blink bonny #the Gresley family #ttte fic #ella's reblogs

Lore dump at 00:08am? Hell yea! Anyway-

TW: Death, blood (represented), mentions of murder and suicide

I've been doing some thinking recently, mainly about the absolute fuckton of spirits around Sodor and how they even exist and stuff. So I decided to do this post about that in the middle of the night!

-So how (or rather why) do spirits exist in this universe?

The answer is rather simple, at least to me: those who die before their time's up for whatever reason (let that be murder, an accident, or """"""science"""""", which is literally the same as murder but felt like I should mention it-) come back to the island as spirits, normally until they were supposed to die of natural causes. Mind you, Wingmen live many times longer than us, regular humans, so this could be centuries, maybe even millenia! When a spirit reaches this set date, they can choose to go on to the afterlife or stay in the mortal world. Most choose to move on, but there are those who stayed.

-What do these spirits look like?

There is no set "look" for a spirit, as their premature death dictates their appearance. For instance, Proteus and Godred (Also Timothy and Rusty's ghost engine, but I haven't drawn them yet lol-)

No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, Proteus is literally just a floating head. I won't go too much into detail about his death, as that's a big fat spoiler, but to summarize: he was cut up by someone. This included being decapitated, which is actually what caused his death, therefore, his head is all that's left of him.

He chose to stay on Sodor to help those like him find a place in this strange purgatory of sorts before they can move on to the afterlife.

Another great example of death affecting appearance is Godred, whose whole left side is constantly fading into gold dust, due to his accident absolutely fucking it all up beyond repair, but it wasn't all cut off, which is why the gold dust still somewhat resembles a humanoid figure.

No one knows why he's still on Sodor, as he could've moved on a long, long time ago. But he's still among the living.

General trivia:

-Spirits and the living can and do interact, mainly Edward, Toby, Skarloey and Lady.

-Lady is quite literally god of this universe, responsibile for looking after the many spirits of the island and help them move on to the afterlife. She also has a say in who lives and who dies. Lady herself is immortal.

-Spirits are often found lingering around where they died, trying to get any passerby to help find their remains, hoping this could somehow help them come back to life. (This isn't possible in this AU as of september 16th, 2022, but I'm not completely sure yet. Stay tuned, just in case I change my mind!)

-If you paid attention to the artworks of Proteus and Godred, you might've noticed that their eyes are different! While Proteus' are pure gold, Godred's are black, both oozing gold dust, almost like tears.

This is because a spirit's eyes say a lot about the life they lived and their intent as a spirit.

Proteus lived a good life, even if it was a short one and now wants to do nothing but help others in a situation similar to his own.

Godred, on the other hand, didn't live the best life, to say the least. He was arrogant, boastful, egotistical and selfish. Nowadays, no one know what he exactly wants, but pretty safe to say that he's not on the island for the same reason as Proteus.

-How would suicide affect a spirit's appearance and eyes?

Suicide usually takes form in smaller scars, depending on how one took their own life. Their eyes still work the same way, being pure gold if they lived a good life, being a good person and have good intentions as a spirit, and they're black otherwise.
