James The Red Engine - Blog Posts
Quite the Quirky Lot
James had just arrived into Knapford with an express from the mainland, his fireman had uncoupled him from the train and they were awaiting clearance to leave for Conrad's Bridge to refresh on water, so he was running a little hot today.
Passengers milled about from the train, amongst them a group of high schoolers, some of whom were making there way down the platform, one of them who had broken away from the group walked down alongside James muttering in Japanese, now James knew Japanese, he hadn't used in in awhile but he was fresh enough to understand what the young man was saying.
"We're late, and those stupid enclosed carriages meant the extras wouldn't shut up, who came up with all of this" He snarled to himself.
"Hey now, I'm not late," James spoke back, in near perfect Japanese, which unsurprisingly spooked the teenager, you don't expect to be spoken back to you in your native language, especially on the other side of the world, and by a talking train.
"There was simply a delay, not my fault that there was a special that had to overtake, no need to get angry," He spoke with a voice reserved for Customer service workers.
"You could have at the very least sped up a bit, it felt like sitting behind a group of slow walkers!" The blond hit back.
"Mate," He was getting angry now, the lack of water was making him feel unhappy, "I was running at the limit, I know where your from your used to expresses being faster, but trust me I was running at good speed!"
"Well you carriages are the worse with all there crapped space"
James burst out into English to get his anger across.
"Yeah well Puffball! I can't sit in those carriages I have no idea what there like, apparently those seats are made of horse fur! You can't get more comfy than that these days!" He snorted a jet of steam out his nose, "Maybe next time pick better travel partners!"
Several other students had been making their way down the platform to see what all the angry Japanese was about, and could only stand embarrassed as their classmate lashed out a train .
"Bakugou could you go an hour without yelling at something?" Came a croaky voice from James' side.
"Yes I can, but this big red sausage was late and I though he should know that!"
"I've told you, you sea urchin looking punk, I was on schedule!"
"Bakugou stop yelling at the train who is clearly trying to do his job" Came another voice.
"Right," James said with a grin, "Listen to your friend there, it sounds like he knows how to treat a steam engine"
"Sorry, Sorry, Sorry!" Came yet another voice as a young lad with spiked red hair hurried over to the blond who James had gathered was named Bakugou.
"He's not a big fan on enclosed spaced with a bunch of people, between this and the plane he's a bit antsy" He quickly said as he threw his arm around his friends shoulder, trying to defuse the situation.
"Ahh right, yeah that would probably drive me up the wall too, sorry about that man" James said with a look of semi understanding, he wasn't about to prolong the argument.
"Nice hair by the way, like the colour" He said to the red head, who simply smiled.
"Thanks man! Hey come on Bakugou I left my bag over with Sensei"
"You moron what did you do that for?!"
"So you didn't exploded on a train?" He replied as he lead Bakugou back down the platform, the blond surprisingly not making a fuss, James though he looked the type to.
"Sorry about him," James looked over at the young man that had chastised Bakugou earlier, "He's a bit much"
"Your telling me, woah, neat hair" James could finally see the young man, he had bright white hair on one side and a deep red on the other.
"uhh thank you" He replied in neat well practiced English.
"I was joking about you know how to treat steam engines by the way, you haven't meet a talking one have you?" James asked.
"No, I haven't exactly had the chance to meet any" he replied.
"Well if your here for a bit longer you'll meet plenty" James smirked.
"So we've been told" Said the croaky voice as a girl with large eyes and long hair appeared alongside.
"Yeah there are plenty of us here, how long are you staying?" he asked them.
"Just about two weeks," Came yet another voice, this one from a young man with a large yellow backpack and green hair, he was stood over by the bench with brunette girl and shorter boy with a large purple pompadour.
"Plenty of time to get a good show around, where are you headed?"
"We're staying at a hostel for the night, and then we should be heading up to, Har, har-" The Brunette stumbled on the word.
"Harwick? ohh yes it's quite lovely up there, make sure you get good seats, the run up the coast is quite charming" James was enjoying this they seemed like good company.
"Anything else on the schedule?" He questioned.
"Not that I know off, our class rep or our teacher should have that" The twin coloured boy replied.
"Well I think there's a concert at Arlesbrugh, this Sunday" He said with uncertainty, that got a yelp from down the platform.
"Hear that Jirou, there's a concert in town!"
"I heard that you dumbass, just because there is one on doesn't mean we have to go"
The other voice wasn't discouraged, "Hey your always saying that you'd love to meet some British Punk Rockers, maybe there will be some there?"
James would give the unseen guy some credit, he had some guts in him.
"I'm not sure about the artists, seeing as I can't go to concerts but that's a maybe on the Punks" James laughed.
There was a whistle behind him as a pilot drew the coaches out of the station.
"I guess that's my queue to leave, sorry I can't chat for much longer but I have to get going, you all have a lovey day now, I might see you lot around" He grinned as he whistled pulling out of the station in a cloud of steam, as the teenagers on the platform waved him out.
"Thanks for the recommendation!" Came a shout from a bright blond young man as James rolled past him and a girl with purple short hair.
"Anytime lad, take care"
James smiled to himself as he moved past the rest of the class making there way down the platform, but he had to double take, he could have sworn he saw one with the head of a bird, he blinked a few times as he passed the two boys from earlier standing along side a taller man with black hair who was speaking in an annoyed manner to the blond.
"What a weird lot" James mused to himself as the group of Japanese made their way to the station underpass.
James X Thomas
Sorry for the poor quality of the art
Initially I wanted to draw this ship but after a long wait I couldn't decide but today I finally did it
Thomas, Percy and James (Thomas and friends) In the fandom Murder Drones (AU)
Maybe I'll draw them on the full body, but that's on the weekend.
Fan poster Thomas and Friends
Into human form :)
(It took a lot of time but I was still able to draw it, it looks a little cringe)
Here's James redesign!!!, I decided to redesign him because the old one looked ugly, but I have also approved a little bit when it comes to making clothes now, his hair is still the same but longer now, and the red arrows are his hair he just put it on his shoulders. Anyways headcannons time! (It's still the same as the old one btw)
James Augustine L. Hughes:🇺🇸🇬🇧🇪🇸🇵🇹
-Obsessed with his appearance- he would often check his reflection on a shiny surface,mirror,etc and would often bragged about it.
-Secretly loves compliments (especially from his closest friends and sir topham hatt)
-he is sensitive about his eyes, he got his eye color from his mother, but instead of complaining about it, he was grateful because he can see with both of his eyes instead of being blind and has a perfect vision and lovely eyes, and he is thankful for his mother.
-when he was a kid, he got bullied because of his eyes from being "monsterous"
-he stands up for his friends always
-vain but deep down, he has a golden heart
-gives henry a plant for his birthday, and Henry gave him too on his birthday.
-he lost his father at the age of 12, and grows to be fatherless with a single mother on his side.
-his father is British and half Portuguese, his mother is British and half spanish
-he is good at playing football/soccer. When he was a kid he was a beast when playing soccer and always the MVP of every tournament ( it's also his favorite sport)
-till this day, he still plays football and plays with the younger engines, and kids in some fields.and always wins.
-the "L" in his name stands for "Laurio". However it's not actually his name. (I already explained this you can check on here:
-he is an Lycanthrope and an alpha leader. However, they don't know that he is a werewolf, Yet.
-the mark on his eye symbolize his wolf mark
And finally, He is the "Servant of lady". Which means he is powerful and the Servant or helper of lady. Lady also give him his two extra powers (therianthropy, Pyrokinesis)
He only have one power before he met lady, and that is "shadow technique" his original power. (I already explain this too,along with the Laurio one,it's up there☝️)
Lady also gives James a black Armband for remembrance, so once she visits sodor again, she will look for someone with a black armband and will know immediately that it's James.
---------------------------------------
Languages can speak- American, British, Portuguese, Spanish
Representative animal: lion🦁,wolf🐺
Abilities-shadow technique, Pyrokinesis, therianthropy
Relatives: George Hughes (father -deceased)
Ann Mary Young (Mother)
Emper Jay Laurio- (OC/ fake sibling)
Misora Laurio- (OC/ Fake sibling)
Age:40 years old
Planning on redesigning James ref sheet, Soo yeah I will post it later, also not to mention.
He is an lycanthrope and an alpha leader (but don't underestimate him tho)
Fun fact about me:
James is the reason why I started to act way more feminine (even more) and care more about my appearance
Fun fact about calestra chronicles:
James and Edward know how to weild a sword,like really good, and plus they are both swordsmans in my au and they know how to weild it properly more than anyone else.
Ok ok, so I will post this early
So if you dont gets about my hcs about James
He is the "servant of Lady"
Which means he is powerful more than anyone else, the reason why is because , when James was at the steam works after the "runaway accident". When he woke up he was suddenly in a different dimension,and saw none other then Lady herself. Lady comforts James and tells him that everything is alright and after that they got along.after that Lady decided to gives James an extra 2 abilities since she knows that James is worthy of holding three powers at once.Also he only has one ability and that is the "shadow technique"
Lady gives James "fire ability/Pyrokinesis, and therianthropy"
The reason for the fire ability/Pyrokinesis is because James got almost burned, so lady decided to give him fire ability so he could not die easily at fires
For the therianthropy ability, is an unknown reason, lady didn't say anything about why did she gave James this abilitiy, but she simply said it was for James protection at night time.
His left arm has an black armband for remembrance, so if lady will visit sodor and sees the black armband, she will know immediately that it's James.
Here see? :D
Anyways explanation number 2:
The "Laurio" middle name explanation
The Laurio in his name dosent actually belongs to him, nor his parents, it actually belongs to my OC characters "Misora Laurio, and Emper Jay Laurio"
Story:
While James was getting bullied at school at a young age, Emper saved James from being bullied, and they both became best friends, and Emper introduced his younger sibling to James, Misora. After that all of them got along.
One day they decided to declare themselves as siblings (one piece reference), but James didn't say that to his mother, untill he grow up. James added the Laurio to his name
Not to mention James moved to sodor or north western railway to work, but they still talk when James came to visit his old railway "L&YR"
so now that will be it so I hope you understand, questions are allowed if you don't get it!
Good news guys, I will be publishing my ref sheet art of the steam team including toby🥳 so my au name will be named
"calestra chronicles"
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🥲
Here guys have a ship chart of my Jameward because yes.
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🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I headcannon James playing football/soccer when he was young and he was the MVP of every matches haha
