Thomas and Duck fucking hate each other. A thread:
Thomas first becomes jealous of Duck when he takes Annie and Clarabel in The Runaway, and they tell him how much they loved him.
Duck gives Thomas lip in Fish, and Thomas becomes immediately offended. Only 2 seconds into a conversation and they already argue.
In the only ep where they pair up, the two argue the entire run time.
In Saved You, Thomas only attempts to save Duck because he wanted to be a hero — an ego boost for himself. He fucks over a lot of characters in the episode, and helps them out at the end.
He doesn't help Duck.
Duck happily screws Thomas over in Scaredy Engines.
Thomas has nothing but a giant smile on his face when pulling Duck out of the barber shop.
In Spotless Record, Duck passes Thomas and whistles at him… and Thomas doesn’t whistle back.
Thomas waited several months to tell the rest of Duke’s story on a night when Duck wasn’t in the sheds.
(Reminder Duck was the one that requested the happy ending ...and he didn't get to hear it!)
And LASTLY, when Thomas imagines all his friends back on Sodor, the only engine not present in it is Duck because hE DOESN’T SEE DUCK AS A FRIEND
Thomas and Duck hate each other. As far as I’m concerned, this shit is canon. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Biggest video production-wise: The Tugs Analysis video
The amount of work and planning with @TheTugsProject that went into this thing is more than anything else I've ever worked on. And I loved every second! Was very happy to give this forgotten show some time in the spotlight
Ok folks, I’ve been trying to make sense of Quarantine 20 using the shot list and photos for reference. Not everything on the shot list aligns perfectly when you put it in order, but I think I’ve mostly figured the episode out. A thread:
Episode opens same as the 15. Star explains the heatwave and how ships with the plague are being quarantined.
Cut to the Star Dock. It’s very clear there was more here that was cut out of the 15. The shot list mentions Big Mac is present here, but perhaps he was removed from filming at the last minute, or he's just off-screen and has no lines. (Scene 2)
Trying to take my mind off stuff, so fuck it here's a thread of my least favorite face of each Thomas character
Thomas had a lot of weird faces. This one I straight up don't like, it doesn't look like Thomas to me
I don't think Edward had a bad face, but they really did this one dirty when they gave it those stupid eyebrows. What emotion is this meant to convey now?
I've talked about this with @wrduckdog several times and I want to share this
Gordon is the protagonist of The Railway Series.
He is the only character we follow the ENTIRE journey of throughout the course of the books. In the very first book, he's brand new. He's a hotshot-
-and boastful. And in the last book, he humbly retires.
Gordon's journey is kind of amazing. He starts as a hotshot, his arrogance catches up with him in Off the Rails, and he grows up. We learn his history. We meet his family.
Gordon is also one of the few characters that shares a bond with each main character in some way. He and Thomas used to hate each other and eventually ally, he learns to respect Edward, he has his sibling rivalry with Henry, he tolerates James, he has his laughs with Percy, etc.
In all seriousness though, The Magic Railroad parody was excellent. The continued amount of work and dedication put into this thing for NUMEROUS from everyone is just humbling. Well done @MrConductorFan and all involved, you made quite a piece of art here.
In a lot of ways, this is superior to the actual film despite being a parody. The character development to Diesel 10 and George was so well done and actually added more depth to the story!
