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

The End Of The Line. This story aired on NBC Nightly News about the last cabeese in 1988

WRENCH || PRE- CONVERSION

Tiny little caboose Wrench… he looks COMPLETELY different which was kinda the goal but yeah!!!! Wrench lore since the people for the most part don’t know on here:

Wrench used to be a caboose and worked freight work with his family, though after an accident where a shipping container was dropped on him he had to be converted, and when he got converted he also decided to become a medcar, which had always wanted to be!!!

Anyways, he’s my silly, love Wrench🫶

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.

i am going to whistle at you

[princeelectra]

thank you, I also ship myself with CB <3

I ship Electra and CB but only like old electra

(I KNOW THEY ARENT THE SAME PRODUCTION LIKE THINGY BUT I PREFER CBS OTHER DESIGN)

various cabeese (plural of caboose) gifs

[that-railfan]

Guys, guys, the reason CB isn't the one causing accidents before is OBVIOUSLY because it was getting hard to blend in with less and less cabooses (cabeese? cabi ?) in service, so he had to teach Slick all he knew 🤷

[captainmvf]

Some cabeese plus Slick Oil ❤️❤️💙💛

[princeelectra]

AHAUHAUSHSJ OK FIRST: I agree with every single word used for BV, I like to think that that ugly thing never existed, he lacks so much in personality and style cof-

Second: How could you describe OG CB P E R F E C T L Y? Everything isn't even a headcanon anymore, it's CANON RIGHT FREAKING NOW.

Third: Electra, CB, and Greaseball insanely fighting for the last gel/pomade/hairspray left on the yard.

Fourth: HEYYYY SUSPENDERS AREN'T BAD!!!!!!!!!! * *Hides my ugly suspenders* *

Fifth: Probably Electra hates heat too!!! I can't see him getting close to anyone mildly sweaty, and the heat hate makes sense when he has a freezer truck around him everyday---

sixth: HIHIHIHIHIH CB......... PRETTY IDIOT...... * twirling my hair*

C.B. headcanons because I'm insane about him!!!!

(productions will be specified if needed ^^)

Original London Cast C.B.

He sometimes forgets that he's not on radio and uses 10-codes while talking to people face to face

He has dyed his mustache before for the rockies when they were 'younger' (or however trains age)

Always has a small comb in his pocket even though he never uses it bc of his hat lmao

He loves 80s slang sm and is always using it. He says tubular and radical unironically and thats kind of iconic

He is SUCH a morning person! It's almost annoying how early he gets up and moving. He is out of the house by 6a and he just has to meander the tracks bc no one is up and work doesn't start until 8a

Pre-2018 Bochum Caboose

He wears suspenders and its so so bad. The ugliest things you've ever laid eyes on

TMI doesn't exist between him and Dinah.

^ Off of that: They've been friends since she arrived at the yard! I like to imagine that they got there around the same time, maybe Caboose a few months before

Seasonal depression like a mf but in the summer. He HATES the summer sm because he doesn't like the heat, and then he and his partner (either Electra or Greaseball bc i can't pick) can't cuddle without sweating to death

The can of pomade hates to see him coming. He uses so much, frankly TOO much, product in his hair. It's like a ritual that he takes like half an hour to do his maybe 6 inches of hair.

He isn't a morning person. Unlike OLC c.b., you cannot get him up before 8 and he is late to work almost, if not every day. How he hasn't been fired is a question no one can find the answer to.

im not doing B.V. because I strongly dislike him🩷 (im working on it but its so hard to like him when olc cb and caboose are right there) (im sorry bv likers😔)

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!

[marastriker]

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