Headcanons on how StEx characters would react if you give them an energy drink:

Pearl: pretends to not like drinking that kind of stuff but actually enjoys it

Greaseball: pretends to handle the caffeine quite well but throws up when no one is looking

Rusty: he'd either be hyper af (like a kid that ate too much sugar) and a bit sassier or cries his eyes out

Poppa/mama: starts using caffeine to compensate everyday life (just like most adults)

Flattop: he's almost caffeine resistant and even feels sleepy

Caboose (CB and AV): gets hyperactive af and goes feral (there might also be the risk of him stabbing someone with random pointy objects)

Canoose (BV): gets super confident first but has a mental breakdown as soon as the caffeine is broken down by the body

Dustin: takes one sip, finds it disgusting and touches that can never again

The rockies: battle eachother who can drink the most cans

Electra: zaps uncontrollably

Elektra: claims that he can handle that bit of caffeine but shuts down after half a can

Components: are too worried about Elektras condition to feel any difference

Dinah: giggles constantly

Belle (sleeping car): feels more youthful than everyone else

Ashley: she'd probably be very chatty and uses the can as an ashtray

Trax: feel happy and serene for once in their life

Control: gives his parents a hard time

Which Caboose (AV,CB,BV) would need therapy the most?

AV is fine. And set in his ways anyway, he probably wouldn't even think he needed it. (And also he's no longer around in my headcanon 😔)

I think in my headcanon CB needs it the most...he ran away and tried to forget every bad thing that happened to him and never sat down to process it. He already had some developmental trouble as a kid, and now, he just has trouble seeing reality the same way as an average train.

It's been hard for him to maintain relationships and jobs due to this issue - hopping yards and trying to convince everyone there that he is friendly and there to help. Even if that's not always how he feels.

I'm going to have CB and BV reunite at some point and I think Bee will encourage him to seek help - because BV is trying to be better, and he wants better for his brother too.

It might be a bit of a hassle, but.

StEx Appreciation Month Day 5: Electra!

⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

Face Claim: Leon Maurice-Jones

Favourite Song/Scenes: AC/DC (the versions where he descends from the sky are so funny! Buddy, you're a train. What were you doing up there?), No Comeback ("EAT MY DUST!!"), ORARTM (the kiss boot), when he throws a tantrum during Dinah's Disco

Favourite Costumes: Bochum mid 2000’s to 2018. The perfect Electra costume should have big hair, long lashes, bold makeup, and look like a glitter bomb went off. I also like the early Bochum wigs that swoop to one side

Favourite Ships/Friendships: Electra x Greaseball, Electra x Greaseball x Red Caboose, Electra x Components. His friends are the Cabeese and the Components (and Dinah post-canon)

Headcanons: He is fluent in English, French, German, Italian, and Japanese. He probably knows several other languages too but he mainly uses them to impress others and/or flirt.

Unpopular Opinion: Out of all the StEx antagonists, he's by far the least "evil" (and that word should be taken with a grain of salt-- I don't believe any StEx characters are truly evil)

⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

Bonus round: Elektra!

Face Claim: Semme Prins

Favourite Song/Scenes: AC/DC, Beelektra moments 🥺, his little temper tantrums are funny and I like the way his wig swishes around whenever he moves

Favourite Costumes: I love the LED panels on his costume! They look really cool when he's fully lit. The monochrome looks so good when he's lined up with his components!

Favourite Ships/Friendships: Elektra x Brake Van

Headcanons: Mood ring Elektra!!! (his lights change colors based on his mood)

Unpopular Opinion: His costume isn't bad (?!) or boring just because it's monochrome!

I made a compilation for some cabeeses that i quite enjoy 👀

in order of appearance:

Andrew Prosser on 2013 Live Bochum

[1010neveragain]

jeremy kocal appreciation post because hes one of my favorite cabeese ever but i dont see people talking about him much. crazy eyes mcgee i will love u forever

[alumnusofheavenandhell]

Since apparently there are gonna be some new changes to the show

Best possible outcome:

The show is trying to catch up with modern train technology, and cabeese are not in use anymore, therefore the caboose character is removed entirely again, and the removal is properly incorporated into the show this time.

Best outcome that I dare not dream of:

CB is back, and he has a substantial role in the show.

Worst possible outcome:

The Post-2018 Caboose character is here, and he's even worse somehow.

Funniest possible outcome:

The show is trying to catch up with modern train technology, and cabeese are not in use anymore, therefore the caboose character is removed entirely again, except there are still somehow ghost spotlights on where he would be if he were there.

if you don't have too many requests how about sommmmme cabeesees 👀

Cabeese you say? Well that’s plural so-

[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.

[marastriker]

my gripe with new stex fans is treating BV the exact same as his predecessor, CB. like no. Please. They have different personalities

[whistlernt]

the plural of caboose is cabeese

[thisismondaymood]

Pearl was looking for someone who can whistle, right?

Cabeese can whistle, right?

Then why is Caboose X Pearl still considered a rare pair?!

[captainmvf]

Shared stuff on Discord based on what I think some of the Stex cast would order at a coffee place-

-GB is the kind of guy to order a red eye (hot or iced depending on weather) and then complain mildly it doesn’t taste that great (except if Dinah adds a pinch of milk)

-Espresso just drinks straight up espresso. Gets a full eight ounce cup of espresso and barely feels energized. He considers it a normal breakfast drink.

-Coco likes flat whites and gets offended how they come in more than one size in America.

-CB (all cabeese actually) always orders something sweet with espresso shots. Tips very politely.

StEx Appreciation Month Day Seventeen and Eighteen: The Cabeese (Pre/Post 2018)!

Does anyone remember draw your squad memes? Anyway, I'm cramming all three of these guys below the cut.

OLC! Caboose

Love this funky guy!

Favorite Songs/Moments: C.B. is hands down the funkiest song on the OLC! Album and Michael Staniforth was absolutely incredible!! I also love his verses in Freight, especially the way he says 'Hello!' He sounds like such a goober!

Favorite Costume: I think there's just the one, but I love it! You go Mr. Baseball-Playing-Trucker-Man!

Favorite Ships: I don't actively ship him with anyone but I don't mind OLC! Electraboose

Unpopular opinions: I don't think I have any

CB the Red Caboose

He's just a silly fun-time boy!

Favorite Songs/Moments: Wide Smile, the handshake bit with Electra during Wide Smile, taunting Rusty. There's one boot where he kicks Rusty in the face after crashing him and I don't know why but it's actually so funny (poor Rusty though!) Can we also get some appreciation for Todd Lester's splits! And Hans Johansson's dancing/acrobatics!

Favorite Costume: It's stayed pretty consistent, but why change it when it's already perfect!

Favorite Ships: I don't ship him with anyone, I actually hc him as aromantic (though I am partial to Idiot Sandwich purely for shits and giggles)

Unpopular opinions: I don't like the version of Wide Smile with the pop culture references at the beginning, it just kinda breaks my immersion

BV the Break Van

The bastard weasel man (affectionate)!

Favorite Songs/Moments: Mein Spiel! I'm glad he gets his own time to shine during the MegaMix! Watching him sneak around and negotiate with GB and Elektra is so fun! He's also great during Pumping Iron

Favorite Costume: There's only been one, but two-tone glove supremacy!!

Favorite Ships: Beelektra and Carriebee

Unpopular opinions: I love him! And I think he fits better contextually with the updated show
