My current HCs for the nature of romantic feelings of the main 1-6 around the events of series 1-2! hoorayyyyyyy
assumptions of the chart:
no one is currently in a relationship
natures of relationships can change after s2
no arrows between characters = platonic feelings only
other romantic natures of relationships may exist outside of the characters here
blue = exes
pink = hypotheticals- if you asked them and they had to answer, they’d say ‘would’
dark red = potential for budding feelings
red = romantic feelings
1x4: Allies- they’re both not entirely opposed now that they’ve seen each other at their worst and realize that they can actually get on alright (post-Down the Mine).
1x5: Friends- they realize they’ve got chemistry, and might not entirely opposed the idea of dating (post-Thomas and the Breakdown Train).
1x6: Friends- Thomas doesn’t have strong feelings for Percy, Percy strongly yearns for Thomas (post-Thomas, Percy and the Coal).
2x3: Friends- Edward is slow to the uptake and doesn’t fully realize it for a while (by Coal). Henry had a long-term crush (post-Edward, Gordon and Henry), tries to let it fade with time (pre-Trouble in the Shed), and realizes they’re still there decades later (~Edward’s Exploit).
2x5: Friends (exes)- Edward didn’t reciprocate and prefers overseeing James as a mentor, James had his shot but ultimately went unrequited and preferred being friends in the end (date: post-Old Iron, exes: pre-Wrong Road).
3x5: Frenemies- both are too prideful to relent, but do recognize similar traits in each other that are admirable.
4x5: Friends- Gordon doesn’t take much notice of James on account of his own pride. James has admired Gordon since day one (pre-James and the Coaches).
5x6: Friends- James is embarrassed that he’s not entirely opposed to Percy. Percy thinks it would be humorous to date James.

❤️🩵💚? (In case it throws a wobbly, attempting to send red blue and green hearts for no reason in particularrrr)
what? red blue and green? whatever could that mean?—-
Thomas, James, Percy
Thomas <--> James: Have got loads of fun, snarky banter, and are becoming chummier old friends as time passes! But there’s also an undeniable spark that both have definitely noticed.
Thomas -> Percy: Doesn’t not like him, but also doesn’t really reciprocate nearly the same level of pining and intensity. They’re close, of course- though it doesn’t smooth out all the bumps in their rocky history. He’d have to think about what he means to him- perhaps confused on whether he has a crush, a squish, or sees him as a friend in a non-committal way.
James -> Percy: Tries not to think much of him in terms of attractiveness, though the thought of that smarmy-yet-adorable engine might have made his face flush red at least once. There’s been worse ideas!
Percy -> Thomas: Quite possibly the most painful long-term pining on a ‘best friend’ ever. Even during huge quarrels, he knows he’ll almost always return because he’ll probably never stop caring about him regardless. It’s much deeper than just sympathy and pity for others. He may or may not know about his feelings (or lack thereof) too.
Percy -> James: He doesn’t care to make an actual move on him much. In fact, he thinks he’s a bit easy- in part due to the latter’s desperation for validation from others. He entertains the idea, though. He could do a lot worse.
