OK do you ship dinahboose and if you do I NEED YOUR THOUGHTS. ( I saw you where analyzing ceeb’s characterization sooo) if not just use this as a free space to ramble about something else idk 💀

it is 1:am but I am so desperate to ramble and I also will take any excuse to draw any ship I like ever which is almost too many so excuse me if I sound nonsensical

^^!!

OKAY I LOVE DINAHBOOSE obv I've been into this musical for a total of 2 weeks or so- so I'm still scrounging every bit of Information on these guys that I can. And I've done wayyy more research on CB than I have Dinah ( he has a lot more to look at though ) but these two just make sense to me. They just make sense. Opposites but not opposites. They are confusing and they are both confused. But at least they can hold hands while confused.

Personally I struggle to ever hate or dislike ships unless there's like a blindingly obvious reason to dislike a ship. But dinahboose is probably my second favorite ship so far for StEx ( Electraboose has 1st place and Krupp/purse has 3rd )

Totally not gonna use this to talk about my personal rewrite of StEx.. specifically C.B. because I don't want to make a post just for it LMAO.

So yeah I've been basically studying C.B. ( or, I guess caboose because he hasn't been called C.B in a long time... but C.B has more personality.. ) and my version of C.B. is probably a horrible amalgamation of OLC and 2015 Bochum. Because I love radio aesthetics and the Dinah friendship but I also love the toy soldier aesthetic and absolutely batshit laugh ( I also love it when C.B. is played by somebody too flexible for their own good ) hes just a glorified circus clown on wheels with a radio set strapped to his head.

And I wish I could pretend that I understand cutting him but I do and I don't and I do. Because I honestly feel like C.B in the original does more than Electra lmao. But I don't think cutting people is the solution most the time tbh.

Okay onto more half asleep rambling that is likely to change because I'm still in the early stages of this rewrite. But. I recognize that C.B. has some issues. The one most of my friends point out is that he seemingly has no motive. He just... Is silly I guess. And I think this is a bit funny because I do like an antagonist with the motive of " it would be funny " , but at the same time. Kind of hard to make that character very ...er... Well I'll just say it does get a bit boring.

Something I also heard was that in the reasons C.B. has been cut was because caboose's aren't exactly used anymore, which is totally fair!

But could also totally be a motivation! Think about it, why is C.B still working? Still working with the freight despite essentially being useless? Because greaseball wants to keep him around to use him for cheating. Easy! Obviously none of this could easily be translated to the show. But for some comics/writings? Yes. Yes.

Think about it. Rusty is struggling, he feels a bit useless because steam is falling behind! So he tries to win and prove himself. But who else feels useless because of their job being replaced? C.B. but unlike rusty, C.B takes the other path, instead of trying to be a role model and win or prove himself. He just goes down the path of crime. And hey, he's probably a crazy adrenaline junky too so he's still doing it for the fun!

And why does he betray greaseball? Plenty of reasons. C.B might dislike greaseball because of poor treatment, he might dislikes greaseball for his treatment of Dinah, he probably just wants to get the adrenaline high of betraying him in the first place. Maybe to prove that he's important and needed because if he doesn't help, greaseball will lose. And he wants to hold it over him for his own personal desire of self importance. Who knows. He's a complicated little clown he is.

Ok anyway yeah I'm like the #3 Dinahboose supporter I will draw them more hehbehehehee

2023's StEx Appreciation Month!

Day 17: C.B. the Red Caboose!

Thierry Gondet in the first picture, Oliver Rhoe Thornton in the second picture, Kapa Kitchen in the third picture, and Craig Perry in the fourth picture.

Favorite Actor: Todd Lester (Broadway, 1988-1989), Kapa Kitchen (Bochum, 1996-1998), Oliver Rhoe Thornton (Bochum, 2001-2002), Ben Draper (Bochum, 2008-2010), Michael Eborall (Bochum, 2013-2015, swing), Andrew Prosser (Bochum, 2013-2016), and Dan Ellison (Bochum, 2016-2018).

Face Claim/Voice Claim: Thierry Gondet (with a skin tone similar to Kapa's) (face) and Kapa Kitchen (voice)

Favorite Song(s)/Scene(s): There's Me and Wide Smile

Favorite Costume: The only real option since this is specifically toy solidier CB skhdjkhg: Broadway/pre-2018 Bochum.

Favorite Ship(s): My all-time favorite CB ship is DinahBoose (Dinah x CB)! But I also think CB x Joule is super cute! I also really love Ice Braker (CB x Volta)!

Headcanon: He's totally pan in some way. While he only actually wants to be in a relationship with [insert name of whoever you ship him with here], he will not deny that he finds about 90% of the yard, regardless of gender, very pretty.

Unpopular Opinion: I'm not actually all too big a fan of the Rusted Brakes (Rusty x CB) ship.

My show just closed so since i’m not busy that means more dinahboose art ‼️👊

please help i am obsessed with them 🤠💥🫨😭💓💞

[goblin-iz-whack]

dinahboose hcs? 🥺🙏

Hmmmmmm

They do each other's hair every morning

CB is fine with eating just like. Microwave Mac and cheese for every meal, but Dinah was like "f that" and makes him real food.

I like to imagine they're that couple with 4 or more kids. They need an army of little terror cabeese kiddos.

They go on dates to a nice Italian restaurant every weekend.
