What's On Your Mind? Justin Bieber? (;

I love the scene when Quasi dumps the molten lead over Notre Dame. The animation is gorgeous.

 

[I Am What I Am]

• Thomas the Tank Engine. Really, where to even start with this show?
  • First and foremost—how in the world did the engines actually come alive?
  • Though the later seasons have slipped on this a bit, the engines really can't do anything without humans helping them. They need a driver and brakeman to move, the foundry crew to keep them in good repair. The possibility for blackmail is enormous.
  • On a similar note, take away the cutesy elements of the show, and it's really pretty apparent that the engines are in slavery. Even though they're fully sentient, none of the humans seem to care* Though Sir Topham Hatt is generally fair and sympathetic, he is still, essentially, the 'master' He got very upset with Percy and some of the others in 'The Deputation,' for instance, when they tried to interfere with his decision-making process.
    . They've been bought and sold, banished for minor offenses, callously separated from 'family,' have no say whatsoever in where or how they work, they're automatically blamed when things go wrong, and don't appear to ever get any R&R.
    • According to the Word Of God, most of the characters are at least 20 years old, and some of the narrow-gauge engines are almost 100. They've been putting up with that crap for a long time.
  • Then there's the whole thing with scrapping. Edward and others occasionally work in the scrapyards and smelter's yards, where the engines are taken apart and melted down. The scrapyard tracks are lined with literally dismembered engines. Think, for a second, how badly most people would be messed up by seeing the human version on a battlefield or crime scene, and how many years of counseling they would need to attempt to get over that. The engines get no such sympathy.
    • A few of the diesels— Iron 'Ary and Bert—actually seem to enjoy working in this sort of "funeral home" so much that they tried to scrap Stepney, just for fun.
  • The real kicker? Word Of God sets the show in the 1950s. Anyone not in the movie is likely in a scrapyard or worse. And most of the humans are gone too.
    • Unless they manage to rise up against their oppressors...and Thomas becomes a Steampunk Terminator.
  • The Logging Locos from the special Misty Island Rescue were apparently sent away to the titular island because of their bad behaviour. Judging by the abandoned state of the island's railway, the fuel shortages, and the dilapidated states of the three when Thomas discovers them, it quickly becomes apparent that they weren't sent there to do work, but to die.

MY GOD.

[Monorail Fan:)]

Okay, wasn't this place covered n lava a minute ago?

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

We'll carry on, we'll carry on!

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Your misery and hate will kill us all.

 

[MickeyisBeast]

What?! You failed your driving test? What happened? I thought you were a shoe-in!

I didn't know how to answer questions like this:
what happens if you have 7 points, but they're not all from the same situation, they're also about to expire. But you almost gain another point from a different accident, but you don't because you stuck your left arm out the window. What do you do?

I was just sitting there like "what."

I dunno where they got the questions. I have no idea which lane to drive in if I'm coming off a highway at 65 mph and I don't know where I'm going. I'm just gonna take the lane that takes me where I want to go.

The girl next to me, her question was LITERALLY this: What do you do at a stop sign?

Uhm, that's fair.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I thought "Give a cheer" was "Through the chair" until I got The Black Parade

 

[Monorail Fan:)]

Hunchback is over. Never gets old. :')

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I'm freezing.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I moved the radio from my room here. Now I can listen to things that I don't have on my music player!

Oh that's bad. I would not be happy either, but there's always next time.

Once the computer told me I failed, the dude at the desk was like "did you pass?!" and I was like "no." and he goes "alright, come back another time." and I was like "...no." then I left the testing room and walked into the waiting room where my dad was. And he gave me a hopeful look which made me start to cry so I just walked right out of that horrible building and straight to the car. My dad got a little book for my to read and study for next week when i retake the test.

to make matters worse, my bestfriend got her permit today. and i finished drivers ed two weeks before her.

life just ain't fair, ya know.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

I don't love you...

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

Tell me I'm a bad man, kick me like a stray.

 

[Mrs. Chamberlain]

I've had "Feel Good Drag", "Smoke and Mirrors", and "Broadcast Quality" on repeat for almost an hour.

 

[I Am What I Am]

I failed my permit test.

Like 2 or three times.

In a row.

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

You play ring around the ambulance
Like you never gave a care
So get the choir boys around you
It's a compliment, I swear
And I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
I wanna hear you sing the praise
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
We got innocence for days

 

[Raven_the_Bird]

My sister learned to drive when she was nine.

Yay Mexico!

 

[MickeyisBeast]

I failed my permit test.

I'm glad I'm not the only one...

Everyone was telling me that the questions were common sense.

Uhm, no. Wrong. Maybe if you got the "what do you do at a stop sign" question. sure.
