So @geezers-louise made a tier list on how traumatised they're planning to make the engines in their au and I loved the idea of that so much that I'm stealing it. (Check out Geezers-louise's au!)
Average night for the Ffarquhar gang.
They all going places, love their designs so much.

You mean to tell me ALL these engines are Going??
(forgot to upload...... man........)
I adore the idea of the various weird occurrences on the island are caused by Fey, that Owl, probably a Fey.
Ended up having to repost this because of mobile tumblr nonsense, but.
Fun thought: Percy having "obscure antecedents" is really interesting because someone could have just ASKED him when he was built. I feel like Sir Topham Hatt must have done so when he was purchased. In which case, why would that information be concealed from the Thin Clergyman? What motivates Percy (and supposedly Sir Topham) to be cagey about his past?
Well, here are some seemingly unrelated facts:
-Percy has been shown to have some fear of the supernatural, which seems to be pretty uncommon for engines. He also never really seems to grow out of it.
-Percy is pretty accident-prone, and it's not always his fault.
-Sodor feels pretty supernatural in various ways, and given its relation to the Isle of Man, there could very well be fey/fairies or ghosts or both.
My personal headcanon is that Percy was built around the early 1910's, perhaps a year or two before Thomas (which makes sense given that he'd had a rebuild before being purchased by the NWR and brought to Sodor in 1926 or so). More importantly, however, I imagine that he was finished on April 30th, between the hours of 3 and 4 AM. (For our purposes, we'll say April 30th, 1913.)
That's right: Percy was finished on the witching hour of Walpergeis Night. A decent chunk of his misfortune comes from the fact that he's, unfortunately for him, "fey-touched" or otherwise supernaturally connected.
Thus, he can instinctively sense the supernatural, as in it sends shivers through his frames, but he can't see them, and that almost makes it worse: he knows something's there, but he can't see it or otherwise sense it. Plus, when you're close to the supernatural, the supernatural often knows it. I think poor Percy just gets messed with by Things Barely Beyond His Perception sometimes and yeah, that can be pretty stressful. Perhaps Percy's rebuild(s) and oddly chimera-like composition was the result of previous owners quietly trying to break him of this connection/curse(?) by replacing various parts and hoping that enough replacement would dispel the effect. (It didn't, of course, but it was worth a try.)
Of course, Sir Topham, being a good Christian gentleman, would not let ANY of this information slip to the Thin Clergyman. Even if what Percy says is true (and the Sudrian in him says it just might be, even if the Christian in him doesn't want to believe it), nobody can know, especially a man of the cloth. For one, it might lead to unsavory rumors like "the railway is haunted" or "fairies are around." For two, the last thing they need is an exorcism or other such activities happening on their railway, as that would only fuel point 1. So, Sir Topham decides that this information is better left unrecorded, and he'll just pass it along to his son privately when the railway changes hands.
("But Te! Wouldn't the engines count as iron? Wouldn't fey traditionally be unable to do anything to them?" Strictly speaking, it's hard to say. However, even if we go with the most generous interpretation, that being "all iron/steel is bad for fey," I am inclined to believe that at the date and time that Percy was completed, the supernatural forces were strong enough that it didn't matter. Perhaps Percy should count himself lucky; if a human were born under similar circumstances, the supernatural would likely have a much greater grasp upon them. By virtue of being a creature of fire and iron, he inherently resists the worst of it.)
Alright I’m done being less active
Here’s stuff I’ve drawn while on discord/been gone
I present: 1x5x6, OR The Worst Polycule Ever (TM) /fond
Don't worry about all the arguing. That's how they all bond and flirt.
(I was gonna draw more but i got eepy)
No clue why I did this, I was bored as hell
Y'all have a good day/afternoon/night
Just did this cuz I wanted to(yes I am a sucker for Gor10)
This is probably the first time I did something Thomas related as I never drew a childhood art, the character beside Percy is just my character Dakota Gable
Explaining each powers of the steam steam In calestra chronicles:
Thomas: Thomas has Telekenesis powers. Which means he can control anything he wants. Any object or things, he can't basically control it by using his mind. However he sometimes uses it the wrong way, and he accidentally controlled a heavy rock and throws it on a lake causing it to have a big splash, however he is still learning on how to use it properly and has been approving a lot since.
Edward: Edward also haves Telekenesis powers. Same as Thomas, but he fully master his own and is teaching Thomas on how to use it properly. He has one more power, and that is Telepathy. Telepathy means he can read minds and he can also communicate mentally to the other engines.
Henry: Henry has super strength, and nature control. Henry is known for being strong, and yes he is stronger than Gordon in this Au because it's his main power. He also knows combat fighting any many more. For his nature control, it's basically using the Flor to block attacks or the winds to blow away enemies It's basically like earth bending from avatar. He dosent mostly use it since sodor is a peaceful place to not fight for combat.
Gordon: Gordon has super speed. However this type of super speed is unique. He is not only fast. But he can locate people by sensing other people/engines by using this things called "Waves". This is basically like telepathy but instead of using communication, it uses the sound of waves. First Gordon must stay focused and then hear the sound of waves of the engine he is looking for. not to mention he is also strong but not as strong as henry
James: James has three powers in his lifetime. His first power is "Shadow technique". It basically allows him to control darkness. But that dosent mean he can control the moon. He can turn shadows into powers and trapping the enemy by using the shadows, etc. finally his fire ability and therianthropy which lady gives him this two abilities. His "fire ability or Pyrokinesis" allows him to control fire, and he is also invincible when there is fire around. And finally "therianthropy", this power allows him to have a half breed of warewolf. Which means he is a half warewolf and he can transform only on full moon.
Percy: Percy has healing ability and barrier creation. His healing ability can help him heal anyone in a matter of seconds. While his barrier creation allowed him to create a barrier or a shield to protect anyone. Not to mention can make the barrier as big as he wants.
Toby: toby has animal creation, which means he can create animals as long as he wants since nature is loosing some animals and he is always there to help.
Emily: Emily has pull ability this is also the same as telekenesis. However instead of using her mind. She uses her hand to pull and controll anything she wants She can also beat gravity too. And finally, "Attraction ability". This abilitiy is also the same as telepathy.only because it uses communication, however instead of communicate. This power is basically mind controll. Emily is allowed to control anyone she wants by using this abilitiy, and can order anyone by just a single words or sentence, she even can order you to kill yourself or give your heart to her.
Anyways that's all! Questions are allowed if you don't get it!. Next time I will be posting their icon power or symbols
Good news guys, I will be publishing my ref sheet art of the steam team including toby🥳 so my au name will be named
So basically in this au, every engine have powers and magic exist in this au, this is all about adventures,powers,and magic. And there is this one engine who is the "servant of lady" but no one knows who is that yet,for years it has remained mystery and it has been said that, that engine is currently working on the railway, will they found out who is that engine?
Anyways here's the list of powers of the engines, (steam team only)
Thomas-telekenesis
Edward-telepathy, telekenesis
Henry- superhuman strength, nature control
Gordon - speed
James- fire,shadow technique, therianthropy
Percy- healing,barrier creation
Toby- animal creation
Emily- attraction, pull ability
It's always James and Gordon, Edward and James,Thomas and James,Percy and James
But never Henry and James🥲
Ok ok so let me break it to you guys, my friend says that my James looks like a deadbeat divorced dad with three kids (peter Sam,rusty,Duncan) with 1 young brother (Percy) and 1 younger sister (Rosie), not to mention James also has a father (Henry), so that makes hen a grandfather of the three boys.Soooo yeah once I settle up my au I will headcannon this and please dont attack me for this🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Guys just made this (laughing so hard at Gordon's face-)
Mon vide, you are a sailor, sea-swallowed and sea-spat. Your days on ship are spent with memories of your feet in the sand, and the nights on land forget to cradle you like the sea.
Under its blaze, when the sun is as of use as its sunlight, with desparation, you want it to guide you somewhere beyond. Poor sun, when it beckons you deeper, further, all you want is for it to shine on your beloved.
There is only disdain for you here. Under the sun, you will never be satisfied.

Okay I gotta tell someone about this dream I had last night!!!!
I had a dream where James saw a ghost engine but nobody believed him and made fun of him until he decided to run away and hide somewhere and then Thomas, Percy, Gordon, Edward, Henry and Diesel decided to find him and then they saw ghosts looking at them on an abandoned track and then they started to believe James and then they saw James making friends with the ghosts and they enjoyed James’s company!
I might make an AU based on it but with human designs! The AU should be called: Red And The Dead!!!!
