TTTE Swap AU Concept! (Or Classically Modern TTTE AU)

TTTE Swap AU Concept! (Or Classically Modern TTTE AU)

So I finally managed to have enough ideas to write an outline of what my swap au would be like! The characters that I currently swapping with each other are:

Toby ⬅️➡️ James

Edward ⬅️➡️ Gordon

Thomas ⬅️➡️ Percy

BoCo ⬅️➡️ Diesel (BoCo is a wip)

Daisy ⬅️➡️ Mavis (Both are wips)

Henrietta ⬅️➡️ Hannah (Both are wips)

Donald & Douglas ⬅️➡️ Bill & Ben (Both are wips)

Henry ⬅️➡️ Emily (Both are wips)

Let's start with what the characters' personalities that aren't wips are like and their inspirations!

Thomas: Very caring and kind while also being very bright and smart! He's less cheeky than his MC self and his love of skateboarding is swapped with creating inventions! He still goes crazy when he eats candy lol. His main inspiration is Mac from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.

Percy: Acts like a dick and can be very lazy. Is very bratty and loves to mess around with other engines. Despite this, he can be very courageous and is willing to sacrifice himself for his dearest friends. Instead of being confused with long words, they are now confused by sarcasm despite using it themselves. Main inspo is Bloo from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.

Toby: Very expressive but can often be very arrogant and reckless. Doesn't think that he's old and tries to fit in with the younger engines. As a result, he wears very modern clothes. and feels very insecure about himself deep down (Also he's loves fashion hehe hoho) Is willing to throw hands at anybody if they dare to hurt his loved ones. Character inspiration is Anne Maria from Total Drama with bits of Connor from Disventure Camp sneaked in.

James: Very selfless and very hardworking although he tends to be a people pleaser and gets stepped on a lot. He isn't vain anymore and red is just a favorite color of his. Still likes fashion although she sees it as a part time hobby. They can be a bit spoiled but still very sweet and generous. Dakota from Total Drama was their main inspiration.

Edward: Very uptight, seems to not smile at all and very serious. He doesn't have insomnia in this au but he is a massive workaholic, causing him to neglect his own wellbeing for the sake of the railway. Instead of being interested in punk culture, heavy metal and rock music, Edward takes a liking to the supernatural world. Is able to see and communicate with ghosts, demons, angels and other entities. Main inspiration was Loid Forger from Spy x Family. Oh and when he smiles, it usually looks something like this:

(Yeah very unnerving I know)

Gordon: Full of life and energy, always like helping people and is generally down-to-earth. Very humble and is very calm during dire situations. He tends to be very spontaneous and sometimes too excited when he sees an opportunity. Main inspo was Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas.

Diesel: Absolutely loves steamies and the troublesome trucks and sees them as family in contrast to canon Diesel hating them. He is the main caretaker of the troublesome trucks and sees them as his own kids. So if you treat Diesel badly, the trucks are coming for your ass. Very mild and doesn't like to lie to others. Tends to be honest although it does sometimes lead him to accidentally insulting people. Is regarded as one of the nicest diesels by others. Character inspiration was Wilt from Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends.

Side info:

The characters keep their og sexualities and genders from the MC AU. Toby x Edward, Toby x Henrietta, Gordon x BoCo etc are still canon to this AU. The characters are still them by the end of the day. Thomas is still Thomas, Percy is still Percy and so on. Backstories may be altered or different than the backstories from Modernly Classical. Same goes for headcanons. Their designs might change in order to fit their personalities more. (If I ever had the motivation to make them in GL2 lol)

What would Mr. Percival be like arriving with his friends(sir topham hatt, Fergus duncan and sir Robert Norramby)to show off his motorcycle?

Lmaooooo motorcycle Mr. Percival 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The engines are going to be bamboozled when they see him!

Also I'm pretty sure SIr Topham Hatt is hanging on the motorcycle for dear life. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

MC Gordon: Alright then. Let me introduce you to our version of Toby and Percy. I'm certain that they won't make you panic.

@glitterking599's James: O-Okay....

*Gordon and @glitterking599's James start walking as @glitterking599's James looks at the universe that he's in currently in. It looked extremely different yet it give him a feeling of nostalgia. The two had finally arrived at Knapford Station, where Toby and Percy were talking to each other*

MC Percy: Dad, didn't you see that smoke over there!?? I'm pretty sure Thomas burnt something....

MC Toby: *Sighs* I already told him that he's banned from going to the kitchen...

MC Percy: What could it be this time? Toasted bread? Jolly Ranchers?

*Just then, MC Gordon and @glitterking599's James approaches the pair*

MC Gordon: Hello you two.

MC Toby: Oh Gordon! How nice to see you!

MC Percy: Hey Gordon. Me and dad were talking about the smoke that happened about 20 miles away. Did Thomas mess around again? What did he burn?

MC Gordon: It was cereal....

MC Toby: Cereal?!?! How can you even burn that?!?

MC Gordon: I don't know old lad. I don't know.

@glitterking599's James, to himself: W-Who are t-these two?... I-I ne-ver s-seen t-them i-n m-y life... W-Whatever, I-I'm pretty s-sure they're nice....

Incorrect quotes

My James: h-huh? I was just in the yard about to g-grab couches?! Where am I?

@unpopularvivian’s Gordon: James what on earth are you talking about?

My James: *Spins around fast to look at Gordon* uhh?! *puts 2 and two together and finds it makes five* y-y-you a-aren’t Gordon?!!

Unpopular’s Gordon: …..? Yes…..I….am? Wait. *notices James blue shirt and knows damn well James that he knows would never be caught wearing blue* You aren’t from here are you?

My James: I-I-I d-don’t think s-so. Where are we?

Unpopular’s Gordon: Moderly Classic universe.

My James: *blinks* Y-yeah this isn’t ******* ******* universe o-or well, my universe.

Unpopular’s Gordon: ? What universe sorry?

My James: o-oh, well, uh, see the name hasn’t b-been revealed y-yet so if I try to say ******* ******* it’s just g-gonna get censored. 😅

Unpopular’s Gordon: I see. Well, you might be here for a while. Oh can I ask something about your universe?

My James: Uh, um suuuure???

Unpopular’s Gordon: Why don’t Henry and I get along in your universe?

My James: oh. That. Y-yeah they, they uh, well Gordon came to the island to ‘replace’ Henry for express duties since he was sick all the time or too tired to come into work. And his engine couldn’t properly steam as well. That and Gordon came from the LNER railway while Henry came from the LMS to help with Sodor’s railway. So even if Gordon hadn’t replaced Henry, they’d still be at each other’s throats.

Unpopular’s Gordon: I see.

My James: yeah it’s…. It’s a mess. It’s worse when you have to stop them from fighting over the coffee machine and Edward sits there and laughs like it’s the funniest thing in the world while Thomas gets up to leave because he’s tiered of their shenanigans. I swear Thomas broke it once on purpose to shut them up. It didn’t work. O-obviously.

My James: Think about work and work even harder is what Thomas believes. He pinned it on the bulletin board as a joke once. He laughed when Henry glared at him for it.

part 2:

Nia: I still have no idea how I’m attracted to you...  Kana: Yeah, well, you’re stuck with me, and no take backs, honey.

shhshshs she saw kana get into a fight with Felipe and Frederica (my au take on those aeg sodor cup special twins) won and caused property damage in less than 5 seconds-

Kyle: I think I need a hug...  Stanley: Good thing I'm hug shaped!  *45 minutes later*  Kyle: You... you can let go now.  Stanley: No, I absolutely cannot.

Kyle, Stanley saw your burned remains and blamed himself and was blamed for decades he thought he was hallucinating when he saw you again after having his mind erased, thankfully Kyle took it in stride they both got happy tears-

Stanley: Show me Pennsylvania. 

Kana: I don’t know Canadian geography.

she’s just messing with the little engines Stanley doesn’t even know much about the states he got immediately overseas which is true for his irl basis so that’s pretty neat, i low key think they’ll get along

Bonus:

Duke: I’m allergic to death. (That’s is so fitting for canon I’m wheezing despite my au he and the remaining msr gang go to the Skarloey Kyle (in the lucky lamp) though I feel like this also fits him but my dude was pulling so many strings-)

Okay first: Kana, you are a hyper gremlin and I also have no idea how Nia is even attracted to you.

Second: Proteus, Stanley literally cried when he saw that you were actually okay. Just let the dude hug you as tight as possible.

Third: We have our engine idiots who don't know what geography is all about.

Finally: Goddamn Duke, I think Lady loves you a bit too much. 😂😂😂😂
