So according to the Thomas Twitter base, I'm apparently crazy for writing an anti-bullying comic that reflects the harassment I received from the auction and that I should deal with it as if social abuse should be the standard. Anyone would think it's a crime to protest against unjustified mockery

And here is the pre-production concept art. It has its own frame, but it has a piece of shipping cardboard being used as the backing. Needs a proper backing.

The Lady painting looks great, and I can't wait to remove it from its sleeve and reveal its full glory. For now, I'm going to leave it in until I can get a frame for it.

I can't deal with the collective stupidity of people who think it's justifiable to hurt others, whether it be physical, emotional, or verbal, without taking responsibility or understanding the consequences.

I've just found out that I might have been affected by the latest Covid strain. All the symptoms I have match up with what comes with this strain so the probability is very high. And I have a dance event scheduled for next week. Just my f🔞king luck!

I hate this. I've been ill for nearly a week, data recovery from my hard drive hasn't been successful, I miss my cat, I've been made a laughing stock on Twitter, and the LadyxḄ̵͓̅́͌̓̒į̸̩̝̮̯̿͂̌l̷̡̢̞͕̝͗͒͘͘l̶̨͎͊̆y̵̧̗͓̓̐̎̍̐̕ proshippers are celebrating the fact that Britt Allcroft's Lady is going to be displayed alongside the Billy prop.

The primary characters of the Stanley Parable are quite relatable in their own regard. The Narrator wants to bring his creation to fulfillment but has to deal with the choices of others that throws his objective off course, The Player wants to have independence and not be controlled by someone else,

I'm not feeling well this week, but I did want to share that I was able to win two items in the auction: these two watercolor paintings. It's not much compared with what I'd originally wanted to get, but for what it's worth, it's a good consolation.

The worst case scenario is I get nothing, which I pray is not the case, give me strength. The other items shown are not of essential importance, but if I get lucky I could try to get one of them. Not everything, but something.

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 08/09/2025
But seeing how Lady's bidding is pretty high up, it may be very likely that I'd have to forgo either her or the documents. I wouldn't be able to preserve both if the amount exceeds a certain range, which is very upsetting to me because both are of much personal importance.

The big priority items are of course the Lady prop and the TATMR documentations. I would like to get them both, Lady is special to me and the documents are of great necessity for the world-building of The Magic Railroad Adventures, my tie-in series to Thomas & the Magic Railroad.

Tomorrow's the big day, I've done all I could to prep myself. Just to inform everyone, I do have a substantial amount to put in bids, but I do also have a limit so I don't bust my bank account. I'll try to get as much as I can, but there's only so much that I can do on my own.

This isn't too suggestive, is it? It's Bisexuality Visibility Month and I wanted to draw Ashima being doted on by Thomas and Lady. Well, regardless, Ashima is one lucky gal.

I hope if I can get my scripts recovered, I can continue to develop the series and bring it to full fruition sometime in the future. Until then, we all have the past to reflect upon and the present to live in.

It has been quite a long time since I first uploaded my video with no new follow up since then, and it’s not because I’ve been lacking in story material, but because I’ve had to get other priorities out of the way, as well as gain the space and finances to build up actual sets to

Filming commenced in Summer of 2010 after I ended 8th Grade. There was many scenes planned that were ultimately removed, some never even made it to filming. I worked countless hours using very few models, and a lot of green screen shots.

If memory serves correctly, most of the scripting of what would start off as Ep. 1 would take place in 2009. I largely kept the dialogue to the narrator because I was new & too shy to inquire other fan members (I don’t think I knew much about them anyway) to play as other characters.

Lady’s own origins would have been revealed in a flashback episode, in which one of the other characters would have told someone else about Lady’s history. As I further developed my stories, I realized that it would make far more sense to talk about Lady’s origins first.

I since started to develop a series which elaborated on the history of Lady and Diesel 10, this was initially called "The Magic Railroad Untold" and would have started with Lady’s accident by Boomer as well as Diesel 10’s origins.

Reading Diesel 10’s description on the Real Lives of Thomas the Tank Engine site, there was a caption stating that the “Pinchy” modification was "non-regulatory", and I thought to myself: “how would Diesel 10 get his claw in the first place?”

Initially, I made my YouTube channel in 2008 simply to enter in the Mad Bomber Video contest, my first upload. After contributing, I felt like I had to get a start in making videos. Coming up with an idea for a series, as far as I recall, wasn’t that difficult.
