[owwwmyteeth]

the thes‼️ {og pic under cut}

[tabooiart]

Your favourite lord in black,,, as a stex person,,,

YOU, anon, must be after my own heart

anways heres wiggly as a train. train wiggly. wiggly train.

some Thoughts under the cut because im insane <3

for his design i decided to lean into the princey thing he has going on literally just so i could put tassles on his shoulder pads. also so he could keep his crown i like his crown. so i knew from the start i wanted wiggly to be a diesel engine (idk. capitalism is like his thing). My og thought was that all the lib would be engines, in which case wiggly would haul freight. but i liked the idea of all the lib being one train better because then they could all be different parts of a whole :3

FOR the record I think I know what each of the lords would be. if literally anyone cares maybe i'll draw them too

Wiggly: Diesel Engine

Pokey: originally i went with a theater car (dont actually have a theater) for the lols but these are only on freight trains. now im thinking a Lounge car. one that plays music perhaps.

Blinky: Sleeping car (to go with his whole 'don't wake him up' thing he has in nt. also then he could be wearing a sleeping mask. yk)

Tinky: Observation car? hes the one im least sure of but observation fits him i think. if anyone who knows more about trains than me has ideas lmk

Nibbly: Snack Car or Dining Car. obvi.

Stex Appreciation Day 5: Dinah!

Hey Dinah what’s wrong, come on girl why you crying?? I drew a happy dinah recently so sad dinah it is  questions answered under the cut :D

Fave song: Love everything that she’s in but im gonna give credit to That Was Unfair and Dinah’s Disco as (cheap digs at Electra aside) its nice seeing her stand up for herself and what she believes in!!

Fave actor: Abigail Dever! She was so fun and cute! I also liked Michelle Escano and Darlene Casanova! Also from what i’ve seen Rose Ouellette seems really fun!

Fave ship: Dinah/Love and Happiness lol but platonic/brotp dinah/c.b. has my whole heart ((and im intrigued by dinah/pearl)) but for real i think she needs some time to build herself back up before having another relationship

Fave thing: The fact that at her core she’s a good and gentle person and will speak out against things she thinks are wrong even when everyone’s always telling her to shut up and that her feelings don’t matter. And the fact that she’s sensitive and cries when things are too much for her, damn that’s relatable lol

Random headcanon: I like to think that the following year she decides to become a race marshal so she has some power to keep the races fair, and because both engines and wagons race there should be at least one wagon race marshal to make sure things are safe from their perspective. Also after the musical her and GB have a long chat and decide its best for the both of them to break up, there were too many issues that “S.O.R.R.R.Y” can’t fix and they part on somewhat amiable terms.

Unpopular headcanon: Ok im not a big fan of the rewrites (tho i haven’t seen the updated show in germany yet so im going off of the workshop and from what i’ve seen) but i just don’t understand what they’re going for with her. To me it seems kinda akin to the disney remakes where they’re super aware of common criticisms of the originals but they think that just by acknowledging it that fixes the problem it kinda...doesn’t??? Instead it just feels weird and forced, especially when the original story beats continue but unchallenged?? Like ok, make dinah empowered and standing up for herself, she’s got herself and she doesn’t need and engine, especially one who thinks that they’re just there to be pulled so why exactly is she dating GB in this case?? He’s still an absolute arse so what exactly is appealing about him to this new dinah?? And then to sing uncoupled after he dumps her, where all the lyrics are still about how she thinks she’s “shamed” him or if there was something wrong with her, ignoring the fact that GB’s the one with all the issues!! Dinah did nothing wrong!! and then to not have girl’s rolling stock (which they’d only just fixed, love that they removed one of the few female-led songs in the show, go girl power ¬_¬), go with electra because she doesn’t want to be alone, uncouple him and be confident again and then go running back to GB still not really challenging his actions and taking him back instantly. Like its such a mishmash of the old show and this new show but instead of having a character arch that makes sense but has issues (loves GB but is very submissive towards him, stands up for herself but also doesn’t want to be alone or without him, gets confided by her friends that she’s not alone and that she too is rolling stock and can get what she wants and then does (even if that means getting a problematic boyfriend). Now it seems like where she’s at is all over the chart and isn’t all that cohesive, which is a shame because from what i’ve seen Rose Ouellette is super charming and fun! And in my opinion the old characterisation could’ve worked, if girl’s rolling stock (or the space between that and purse/killerwatt arriving) was used to acknowledge that its kinda messed up for dinah to blame herself for everything when G.B’s been the problem the whole time and that just because he’s an engine he doesn’t get to boss everyone around (maybe put ive got me in here idk, put the original lotta locomotion in with the actual character descriptions in back). Then at Dinah’s Disco have that be the final straw of her being done with these engine’s bullshit and then have her not take GB back at the end! Her happy ending should be about her getting her independence and not her shitty boyfriend. Rant over haha
