Thomas the Tank Engine - Part 4
The canon makes me think of a family relationship among Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby and Emily (not gonna use Steam Team beacuse of personal reasons)., but the fanarts and fanfics make believe in the Henry/Gordon and Edward/James* supremacy.
*I believe James used to be the third wheel when Henry and Gordon got together (even though he enjoyed teasing them), but then he started dating Edward and now that position is owned by Percy and Emily (I like Thomas with Ashima, and Toby and Henrietta are so married).
Edward is the designated brain cell of the main six.
It's pretty canon that Sir Topham Hatt is always kissing the floor on winter, haha.
P.S: have you ever thought about the nicknames these guys could have?
I have. These are my headcanons:
Thomas: not fond of nicknames. Sometimes James and Percy call him Tom or Tommy just to tease him (this guy is the only Thomas I know that is called by his full name almost all the time). Edward refers to him as “lad” or “little one” (this is from a fanfic called Five Times Thomas Almost Called Edward Dad And The One Time He Did, by LoveYouBlue that made me cry of Joy) and Gordon calls him “Little Thomas”(or “brat” when the tank engine is being a little gremlin).
Edward: doesn't have a problem with being called “Eddie” (James and Henry use that nickname a lot) or “Ed”. However, multiple times, Thomas has called him “dad” and he really struggles to not sob, and Gordon and James may or may not have been threatened to not call him "Little Edward" or "Old Iron" again.
Henry: he's not into nicknames, and he doesn't find funny being called “Hen-Hen” as much as Thomas, Percy, James and Gordon do.
Gordon: aside for “Little Brother” by the Flying Scotsman, it's bold of you to have a nickname for him. The younger engines, however, will never stop to call him “Grumpy old man”, much to his dismay and the others' amusement. He must be in a tolerable mood to be called "Gord" by Thomas and Edward, and "Gordie" by James.
James: Edward, Thomas and Emily call him Jim, but his general opinion is that he likes his name and doesn't think there is a nickname that could reach its level of fondness.
Percy: Dirty Percy is off the table. End of story. Thomas and him call each other "bro" or "bestie", and I like to think "Percy" is the short version of his full name he loathes. Oh, he's also called "brat" by Gordon when he's a gremlin child, just like Thomas.
Toby: his name is usually the short for Tobias, and he really doesn't like another way to be called. So yeah: just Toby for him.
Emily: everyone calls her "Emi", and she must be in a good mode to don't be mad if she's named "Millie" (a nickname Thomas and Percy love to use to tease her).
