Hartlepool United - What Happens Next?
@Hopping_Writer
At the beginning of April, I wrote an article looking at a potential Great Escape as they had clawed their way to within touching distance of Crawley Town at the foot of the League Two table, and had to play their closest rivals at home. Since then, things haven’t worked out well for the men from Victoria Park.
The Paul Hartley Days
It has been a season of upheaval in the manager’s office at…
Test pilot Keith Hartley conducting a “cockpit habitability” test in an open top Tornado IDS (Circa 1988). Conducted at 500 knots this particularly ballzy test was designed to check Tornado's emergency escape procedures and handling.#avgeeks #aviation #aviationdaily #RAF #ColdWar
A masterlist of muses that I have played throughout the years, that I am always willing to play. I do need to go over some of the FC's and probably make some changes since this list is YEARS old. But I will do that and update it!!
First I just wanted to say I absolutely adore your AU! It's so insanely cool, you won me over immediately with your comic about Thomas' Fireman!
Speaking of, I was wondering if you could tell us a bit more about the firemen?
I already adore Thomas' honestly aha (sorry I'm bad with names)
no worries! thank you for enoying the AU, and I’m glad you enjoyed keith’s character ^_^ I had fun writing him. I’ll tell you about some of them real quick
Keith Hardley
Age: 28
Occupation: NWR 1's fireman
He lives a monotone and uneventful day-to-day life. A great fan of Sodor’s Rumours Bulletin Board and checks it every time he finishes work. He likes reading rumours about family complaints and gossips about annoying coworkers, but he doesn’t really care about tales involving ghosts and supernatural entities because he doesn’t believe in them and think they’re outlandish. He doesn’t have any unique hobbies or skills in particular and he’s not the most active at socializing, but a lot of people like him (he is not aware of this) because of his honest and down to earth nature. He tends to be honest in his words and secretly wishes for something exciting to happen in his life, as long as it’s controllable by him.
Trivia:
"Hardley", not "Hartley". His last name is always subject to Thomas’ puns, much to his annoyance.
Doesn’t talk much and usually says yes to anything anyone says, but when one really gets to talk to him properly, they might say that his mind is full of deep thoughts.
During karaoke nights with Sidney and others, he just sits on the sofa and eats the snacks.
A social butterfly. He gets excited easily and has a pleasant, friendly aura. He always tries to include introverts in his activities and rarely lefts out anyone at outings. He loves his wife and kids, his job, the engine he drives, the people around him, literally anyone.
Trivia:
He describes Edward as “a little funny – as in “tastes funny” kind of way – but he’s a wise and nice guy”. Sometimes the older man gives advices to Sidney.
He once suggested that NWR 2 should get a car air freshener as a joke.
A cheerful and peppy woman who has a positive outlook in life. She always looks at the good side of things and believes that there’s always a way out for any problems. Though there are moments where she’s reasonable and level-headed, she sometimes has difficulty expressing her thoughts because she has a lot of things to think about. She’s also tech savvy, though she comments about losing interest in it at times.
Trivia:
She is deaf and uses hearing aid.
She thinks Percy is a kind person even though he can be snappy to others at times.
She doesn’t talk to Keith much, but she thinks he’s a smart man.
Likes: breakdancing, making websites, 90s fashion
Dislikes: people who are impatient
Sculder
Age: 31
Occupation: NWR 9's fireman
An undercover member of the FBI who was sent to Sodor to investigate strange cases of people disappearing and appearing out of nowhere. Seems to enjoy this undercover job as a fireman way too much and believes in the existence of the supernatural, causing him to sidetrack from his missions. Luckily, our two main heroes are there to do their jobs.
Trivia:
Enjoys Mully’s company.
Does he remember that he’s part of the FBI and not an actual fireman?????
Likes: rooms with air conditioning, walking along train tracks
Dislikes: peppermint
Mully
Age: 29
Occupation: NWR 10’s firewoman
An undercover member of the FBI who was sent to Sodor to investigate strange cases of people disappearing and appearing out of nowhere. She believes in hard work more than praying for a miracle to happen, but nonetheless enjoys her life as a firewoman. Luckily, our two main heroes are there to do their jobs.
Trivia:
Despite her stoic nature, she enjoys Sculder’s company.
Can be unpredictable at times.
Likes: mint chocolate chip soft serve ice cream
Dislikes: her hair being messy
besides the firemen, there’s also other minor characters that aren’t affiliated with the railways like Punchinello the Clown, Inspector Utensil, Hoffman C., Chaddeus Braddicus, and many more (that I’ll explain when the time comes)! once again, thank you for the question 👍👍
