notes from last week's stex watchings 👀

Wednesday, March 8th Coco shoves Dinah during the argument between the engines and the coaches Dinah playfully slaps Pearl's butt at the beginning of Ich Bin Ich The coaches have glittery parts of their costumes! Dinah and Pearl have sparkly fabric for the straps under their knee pads Terence Caboose is REALLY REALLY amazing with his acting choices In Freight, Rusty loses control of both coaches and freight and looks very panicked Terence flips his hat back onto his head so smoothly 10/10 When coupling up for the first race, Turnov points to BV and makes a motion as if to say hurry up! Then takes off so quickly that Bee has trouble grabbing his couplers Alexandra covered Volta and gave some cool female Volta vibes Gary was very very Purse-like with his performance during Pearl Welche Ehre - but did some signature Krupp spins in AC/DC! A nice balance of the two! When the other components join Pumping Iron, KW freaks out because Elektra is FUSSY Flat Top is trying to imitate the Rockies' dance moves during Momma's Blues and fails so badly Belle throws up at the end of heat 2 - no drinking and racing kids KW freaks out again when Pearl leaves Elektra for Greaseball - he is so anxious about his job, poor Watt Terence sang the 2nd verse of Mein Spiel first, by accident but he saved it well! TerryBee did fun CB move Overall such INCREDIBLE acting, amazing Mein Spiel When Dinah disconnects Elektra, he's freaking out - but Bee is already there and Elektra kinda just….sighs okay fine can you help me Bee: >:D One rock and roll too many…. Idiot sandwich <3 Coco cocks her shoulder box when telling off Pearl before Für Immer When everyone comes back out onstage post love-song, GB is going after Elektra but Elektra SHOVES him away. BV laughs, Elektra holds up a finger to him as if to say: "shut up. You caused this."

Thursday, March 9th Trax bapped Carrie on the back of the head during bye bye Rusty During the argument, Ruhr seems to just be playfully playing along, but he has a kind smile and tips his hat to Carrie Beginning of Ich Bin Ich - Turnov offers Espresso a shot of vodka and Espresso does NOT like it Manga and Ruhr also sharing a snack. Manga offers Ruhr an alcoholic drink as well, maybe sake Belle has two barrettes in her hair, one is shaped like bottle openers and the other is shaped like bottle caps Beginning of Freight, Flat Top squares up to Dinah and she snaps his suspenders Rockies imitate Bee's "fake news" gesture - Rocky 2 gets it wrong and Rocky 1 shows him, "no, he does it like this" When the trains malfunction as a result of Elektra's presence, Bee does a silly little robot dance Dinah and BV talking/gossiping at the beginning of AC/DC No Pyro at beginning of Pumping Iron Jae Volta squatted like a hoe in pumping iron actually jae volta was slutty all week Ida Brexit is a grandpa and I love him. Hi peepaw Turnov makes a "chop chop" motion to Bee to couple him for heat 1 KW shows Rusty away to talk to Pearl Pearl looks sad to leave Rusty and go with Elektra Each BV actor has a "thing" they do when Greaseball yells CABOOSE during the races - Terence looks back and then nods GB pushes BV into Wrench so he can disconnect her and take Manga Flats is straight up grooving during Momma's Blues When FT takes a selfie of him and Momma, he looks at the pic and then looks back at her like "damn you don't look so good" and she gets upset and shoos him off OIL OIL OIL - Delano puffs out his cheeks and looks so stinky Rusty: Pearl won't race with me :( Rockies: tease him by fake crying Flats gets so STOMPY BV eavesdropping on Rusty and Momma's convo during Bummelok - also his scarf was backwards Momma looks so taken aback by GB and Elektra like "these youngins……" When Greaseball tells Dinah to shut up in the rap, the gang is like OOOOOOOOO and she looks ready to fight them Another incredible Mein Spiel performance Bee mockingly waves goodbye to Pearl after he crashes Rusty Rusty literally crying before the Starlight sequence :( Dinah disconnects the components because she angy

Friday, March 10th Technical difficulties with the door where the nationals enter! it got fixed fairly quickly <3 naruto run in rolling stock my beloved Ida brexit walk like afraid of cockroach Luuk Espresso sounds so italian even when singing in german GB pokes and prods Pearl when he brings her in He plays with her ponytail, she is not amused I LOVE MEZZO PEARL (Dieuwke) Kai Bee tips his hat to Carrie <3 For some reason, Elektra's gear lights weren't working until Race 1 today Ryan can play Espresso and Turnov, and THAT is what i call great vocal range Rocky 2 was ready to throw hands with Rusty for insulting Momma! Dustin flinched when Momma yelled NEINA Dustin waves shyly behind Momma during the race 2 introduction Espresso grabs Carrie's skirt tassels instead of her couplers and pats her ass RuhrCarrie moments! He spun her around Both Elektra and BV injure Pearl in the final race - Elektra electrocutes her and BV baps her at some point Saturday, March 11th and Sunday, March 12th Cole Greaseball has such power behind his voice! Incredible acting choices! GB didn't fade into the background this time, I genuinely enjoyed Cole so much more! Brexit/Turnov disappear sometime between taunting Rusty and the beginning of Ich Bin Ich due to split track Rocky 3 and Flat Top The other coaches are a little miffed that Rusty interrupted her but Carrie shrugs and is like oh okay :) Since Turnov is not available for Pumping Iron due to a split track, they replace him with TerryBee and he dances with Carrie! The coaches all take shots at the beginning of coda of freight to prepare for the race super quick change from Flat Top to Turnov for Race 1! Even if turnov is not there when they are all coupling up for race one, Bee and GB still have a moment where they establish they have a deal and I like that detail KW scans Pearl's face during the beginning of Pumping Iron (Elektra maybe already made it clear that he wanted her as a race partner?) Flat Top shows up halfway into Momma's blues due to split track Momma and R2 have a little fistbump after saying rusty is blind Rocky3 raising her hand like MEEE after Momma asks for Rocky to race with her. the other two scold her Carrie looks so excited to win the second heat with Ruhr! Delano Rusty is so ready to square up with Greaseball after race 3 Delano is the only one who acts properly injured after the crash/gang beat up, chugging back before right place right time I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW THE LIFT WORKS. there is indeed a back portion that supports Rusty by the waist as he's lifted into the air Carrie waves to Bee before the final race and BrandiBelle chastises her Cole GB acts like a ballerina in one rock and roll and it's hilarious Rocky 3 is the one who disconnects Bee, Elektra, and GB from the train before the final scene! Brandi and Bee share a drink before Light at the End of the Tunnel

All of the OTP questions for Dinahboose lofe 😇

Thanks lofe 🥺🥺🥺🥺🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I already answered 3, 5, 7 and 9 in this post, so here comes the rest!

1. What's the biggest wish the members of your otp have for the other? Is it a wish that could come true? Do they actively work towards it?

Dinah’s biggest wish is that one day C.B. will actually understand and accept that he doesn’t owe her anything for loving him. She tries her hardest to make him see that, and while he will probably never fully agree, he will eventually accept it as a fact.

C.B. doesn’t do wishes. He just wants Dinah to be happy, and she is.

2. How comfortable are the members of your otp around each other? Do they care about keeping up appearances? Would they care if the other(s) saw them groggy, undressed, without makeup, etc.?

At first Dinah feels a little insecure about being naked with him because she isn’t fully comfortable with her body, but she has no problem letting him see her groggy or makeup-less or whatever; they’ve been friends for a decade, she’s cried on his shoulder so many times, he has already seen her in pretty much any state.

C.B. has no qualms with her seeing him naked, but it’ll take a while before he lets her see him without his face paint. This isn’t necessarily about her; he’s just very used to wearing it all the time.

4. After a bad day, what would each member of your otp do to cheer the other up?

C.B. would take Dee in his arms and sing to her, ask her questions so she can talk about it, dance with her, and, once she’s receptive to that, act silly to make her laugh.

Dinah would put her arms around him and scratch his little ginger flop flop flop, simply letting him cling to her until he feels better.

6. If your otp went on a holiday, what would they pack? What would they definitely forget? How would one react to the other forgetting that thing?

C.B. never takes anything with him when he travels, at least not short term, so he wouldn’t forget anything either. Dinah on the other hand would pack extra clothes, toiletries, a book or two, curlers, an umbrella, an extra scarf, and so on. She’ll occasionally forget anything, especially when she was running late when packing, and she’ll panic until C.B. either fixes an alternative or sets her straight that it’s literally thirty degrees and she doesn’t need a scarf. For her part, Dinah would get fed up with C.B. always relying on nature or sneaking things from others to get what he needs, and she would eventually make him at least pack some toiletries.

8. One part of your otp found out they didn't have much time left to live. How would they react? Would they tell the other? Would they spend every last second together or would they withdraw to soften the blow?

Dinah can’t keep a secret to save her life, and in this case she wouldn’t want to either; she’d tell her Cee immediately so they can cry and prepare together, and he would stay with her, desperate to drink in any last moment of her presence.

C.B. is a private person, but he would tell Dee because he wants to give her the chance to mentally prepare herself. He would try to withdraw, but Dinah wouldn’t let him, both because she needs him close herself and because she wants his last days to be happy and she knows he’s happiest when he’s with her.

10. If your otp had met at a different point in time/their lives, what would change? Would they still end up together?

Of course they would still end up together, it’s me, they have to. I don’t think them meeting earlier would have changed much because both of them needed to go through certain things in order to become the persons they are now; later might have made more of a difference. Dinah might even have started a family with Greaseball already, which would create an interesting situation.

11. What is your otp's most special moment? If they could travel back in time to relive it, would they? Would they change anything?

The moment they confessed to each other is very special to them, as is the moment Dinah told him she loved him, the moment he explained to her why he couldn’t come with to her parents for the winter feast, the moment he got his first chimken and the moment they moved in together (all of these will be covered in future chapters, as you know lofe). But in general they’re not really about the big moments; they also appreciate the small and mundane things a lot, especially lil Cee.

12. Was/is it difficult for the members of your otp to realise their feelings? Were they okay with those feelings or were they in denial?

Her sudden feelings took Dinah by surprise, and she tried to deny them at first and keep them hidden later because he’s gay, he would never look at her like that, they’re just friends.

C.B. subconsciously denied his feelings for a long time, and something big needed to happen for him to even realise them — and by then he was already hopelessly in love with her. He also tried to deny it, though, because he didn’t believe that she would ever want him that way.

13. If your otp moved in together, what would their home look like? What would be each member's touch? Would they argue over it?

They would have a cosy little shed with a nice kitchen, maybe a bathtub? and a little garden and chimken coop outside. Since C.B. is used to living with only the bare essentials, pretty much everything would be Dinah’s, or things she’s given him. The chimken coop is his, though, and the garden would be from both of them: the flowers are his, the herbs are hers. The only thing they would argue about is that Dinah would actually want him to be more invested, to have more of him in the shed, and he really doesn’t care as long as he lives there with her.

14. What is something that would break up your otp? How high is the chance of it actually happening?

Death. And I’m gonna put that at no chance because they need a happily ever after. They belong together 🥺🖤

15. If one member of your otp could only experience the other with one sense (sight, touch, hearing, taste, smell, fantasy senses, etc), which one would they choose? Would they find a way to work around the issue?

For C.B. it would absolutely be touch, poor lil macaroni is severely touch-starved. Dinah would hesitate between touch and hearing, but in the end also go with touch.

16. If one member of your otp committed a serious crime, how would the other react? Would they forgive? Help cover it up? Go to the police?

C.B. would be surprised but that’s it, he has little morals anyway. Dinah would be shocked and disappointed, but first try to find out why he did it, and then help him/force him to make it right.

17. If one member of your otp had an accident and was left with a permanent disability (Paralysed, missing limb, lost senses, etc.) how would they both deal with that? Would they cope? Would that be too much for them?

Dinah could loose all her limbs and C.B. would still be right beside her, helping her with the things she can’t do anymore, defending her against ableists, even if his heart would break for her. Dinah would do the same, but she would be much more vocal in her heartbreak and C.B. would have a hard time accepting her assistance, so it would take them some adjustments and simply time to communicate well.

18. What are the small gestures with which your otp says 'I love you'? Are those daily rituals? Is the other aware of the intention behind those gestures?

Dinah calls him the dorkiest nicknames: Strawberry, Cayenne, Tumbleweed, Firecracker, Tomato, Shooting Star, Stick, Loaf of bread, Thistle, and so on. C.B. thinks it’s incredibly endearing when she randomly calls him her Little Whisk or something. Also she loves randomly complimenting him. In general though she just often verbally tells him that she loves him.

C.B. shows his love mostly through support. He is always there for when she needs him, either letting her cry on his shoulder, helping her out when she’s got a lot to do, or swiftly changing his plans for a romantic evening to simply cuddling when he notices that she’s tired and not really in the mood for much. He also does this when it’s not a comfortable situation for him, like when Dinah’s looking after her godchild and he’s just quietly there in the corner, not interacting with the kid much but handing her whatever she needs before she even has to ask. It’s very important to him that she knows that she’s not alone, there’s him. There’s always him.

19. Is the approval of family and friends important to your otp? If so, how would they try to win over a skeptical in-law? Would they cut people off if they didn't approve of the relationship?

Dinah would really want her friends and family to accept her lil Cee, but if they don’t she would pick his side. It would hurt her a lot, though, and C.B. would go down there himself to talk things out, because he knows how important this is to Dee and therefore it’s important to him too.

The approval of his family and friends would also be very important to her, but C.B. himself doesn’t care about that in the slightest.

20. How tolerant is your otp of each member's ex(es)? Do they care? Do they get jealous when the topic comes up? If they're still in touch with their ex(es), how does the other feel about that?

C.B. doesn’t really have any exes, only a lot of trains he has slept with at some point in his life (he calculated it once, the estimate was frightening), so Dinah isn’t necessarily jealous about that, more insecure at times. She does get a bit jealous when she sees how close C.B. and Dustin are, but over time she’ll see that it’s really no more than a friendship by now, and a friendship that’s good for both of them at that.

Especially in the beginning it’s difficult for C.B. that Dinah is still friends with Greaseball, because it’s very easy to compare himself negatively to her giant muscular ex. But it’s clear from both of them that there’s nothing between them anymore, Greaseball happy with Electra and Dinah happy with C.B., and GB being a close friend of him too makes it easier on him, even if it’s sometimes weird for Dinah to see her current boyfriend and her ex go drinking together.
