in the drive thru au im just picturing the taco bell crew dealing with a nasty customer then having to send out the wildcard (greaseball). i imagine the customer runs away

oh for SURE

someone’s being nasty to Rusty because he’s kinda scrawny and looks like a scared puppy, and then someone waves Greaseball, this tall, muscular, angry punk lesbian, over.

She’s definitely not professional about it, that customer is gonna leave terrified or crying. Greaseball gets to bully her coworkers, customers don’t get to pull that shit on them

she’s probably punched out at least one or two people, but their manager literally does not care enough to discipline her for it.

Hydra’s also a good option if Greasey isn’t available, he’s stoned and is gonna be far more chill, but he’s also the tall ecopunk stoner that will deliver some NASTY burns because bro has just no filter at all

at the cafe Belle is normally the one who deals with rude customers, she’s great at just glaring until the person inevitably just shuts tf up and leaves

Wanted to try my hand at redesigning the new characters to better fit the original Stex style

Adventures in Train-Sitting

One-Shot / 1,454 words

Relationship: Main Character Polycule (Dinah, Pearl, Rusty, Greaseball, Hydra, and Electra)

Summary: The many times in which The 'Cule sought someone to look after kids for a night.

A/N: So this is a very self indulgent little one shot that I wrote mainly for some pals on Discord. I do have a handful of pieces like this one lined up and ready to go, which I do plan on posting soon. If anyone has questions about The 'Cule, feel free to ask!

The first time that the polycule had had the chance to get out together after they started having kids was following Nova. The twenty months since Bernadette had come into the world had been the busiest, most chaotic, and happiest times they’d had together. And the six were looking forward to kicking back a little. Hydra had cranked up weed sales tenfold so they’d have the extra spending money. After all that physical and emotional labor, they all deserved a little treat. But that left the question—who was going to watch the kids? Lumber was the first to be asked. Hydra had initially been apprehensive to the idea. It wasn’t that he didn’t love Lumber like a brother—but he knew how rowdy the freight truck could be. Greaseball had ultimately won him over. She and Lumber went way back, and she trusted him immensely. There weren’t a whole lot of people outside of her partners whom she could say that about so the options were slim. When Lumber came by the shed as the six were getting ready to leave, his thoughts were not unlike Hydra’s initially. “I don’t know, Hy, what if I accidentally break one of them? I mean, they’re exactly not durable like logs.” “Pshhh. You’ll be fine,” Hydra assured him as they rolled out the door. “Benny’s an easy baby, Nova will probably sleep through most of the night. And—“ his voice lowered to a hush. “Between you and me, Greasy really needs the break.” When the door shut, Lumber turned to the two babies, crawling around in the play pen. He was right. Benny had always seemed like a calm tot. And there was enough formula in the kitchen to tie Nova over until they got back. This should’ve been straight forward enough, right? Hours later, the six were exhausted, had tanks filled with wine, and were looking forward to collapsing in bed. They pushed the door open and were immediately hit over the head by a piercing wail from upstairs. Lumber was pacing around the girls’ bedroom, Nova flailing in his arms shrieking. His eyes were frantic. Twigs and a couple of leaves poked out of his hair; how they got there was anyone’s guess. Bernadette, meanwhile, was fast asleep in her crib; apparently unbothered by all the commotion. “I tried everything; food, changing, rocking her. How do I get her to stop?!?” When Rusty took Nova from him, her cries immediately subsided. And in a matter of minutes she was back to sleep. Lumber had never looked so pleased to leave the polycule household then he did that night.

Sometime after Cosmo, Electra secured them all tickets for a musical that was touring in the area. Neither of them had heard of it before, but Electra had described it as something having to do with poetry and cats. Anyways, it sounded like a good time. Dinah asked Belle to take one for the team. She was great with the three kids whenever she popped by for some tea and a chat. And being so close to half the ‘cule already it seemed the logical choice.

They dropped off Bernie, Nova, and Cosmo at the coach shed. It took both Belle and Pearl to sweet talk Dinah into relinquishing the baby carrier ('he’s going to be perfectly fine, Di, just relax') but she did cave. Tass was on a hot date with Orange Flash. So that left just Belle to hold down the fort. “We’re going to have a great time, don’t you worry about a thing,” she told them confidently as the six rolled off for a nice meal and an evening at the theater. Dinah knocked on the shed door a little after eleven, careful about the sound in case the baby was asleep. She had been jittery throughout dinner but calmed down once they got to the theater. Her ability to cut loose, even if only just for a few hours, took its time but did grow on her. And now she just wanted to hold the little ones tight. No one came to the door. The six all looked at one another, thinking maybe they were all asleep. Dinah pushed the door open and they stepped inside. Their guess was half-right. Belle was fast asleep on the recliner; a Dr Seuss book in one hand, baby Cosmo, squirming against her chest, in the other. Nova and Benny were on either side of her, crawling atop their babysitter and her neck rest. “Well, she put one to sleep, I’ll give her that,” Greaseball sighed before going to scoop up the toddlers.

It was some months after Soleil was born that they decided some adult time was in order. Tassita had volunteered to look after the kids this time. He got on just fine with Bernie after all, and the little one had been so quiet when he had held her as a newborn. How bad could it be? Rusty pushed open the front door, the others closely behind. It was a little after eight. They’d planned on staying out longer, but Electra was so insistent on saying good night to the baby before Tass put her down. Immediately, they noticed the lights still on. Bernadette and Nova were sat on the floor in front of the tv, engrossed in some cartoon dog. There were yells coming from upstairs which accounted for Cosmo. Rusty rolled over next to Bernie, gently tussling her hair. “Hi honey, where’s Tassita?” She merely pointed towards the couch. Rusty followed the line until he rolled to the other side. There was Tassita, curled into a ball with his face buried into his hands. Muffled sobs just barely audible over the TV sounds. Soleil was sat beside him in her play pen, calmly playing with her blocks. Mira, meanwhile, had decided that Tassita’s skate was as good enough as anything to chew on. Rusty knelt next to the coach, his face wrinkled with worry. “Tass? Are you—“ Tassita’s hand shot up and gripped Rusty by the collar, pulling him down so their faces were nearly even. “Never…again…” he muttered before breaking out into another sob.

The six of them had all been drafted to race, much to the dismay of the Marshalls. Hydra and Rusty against Greaseball with Dinah, and Electra with Pearl. It wasn’t anything serious, just a fun one-off that was supposed to benefit some charity; so they all wholeheartedly agreed. But that left the question of what was to be done about the kids. With the age range being eleven to four, they were big enough (with the exception of Soleil) to take a place in the stands. But the race itself was fairly late in the evening. Way past bedtime. And with a lot of the polycule’s friends either busy that night or otherwise relinquished from babysitting duties, that didn’t leave many options. But it did perhaps leave the most ideal of all. The race ended up being a triumph for them all; Electra and Pearl won with the others closely behind by just a margin. They had all collapsed together at the finish line, sweating, laughing into the other’s shoulders, and congratulating the winners. There was no soreness at the loss because their loved ones winning made up for it anyways. And that was enough. Whatever charity got their due dollar, and the six received a nice golden plaque to bring home with them. Of course, all but Rusty were unsure as to how the babysitter would hold up this time. Sure, she’d come in clutch for them several times when one of the kids was sick and none of the adults were able to take off from work. But even then she only had one or two at a time. All five was a challenge innit of itself. Not to mention, given the track record they had by far it was hard to say. When they got home, they found Momma on the couch. Cosmo and Mira were sat upon her knees while the other three surrounded at her skates. She told them a vivid tale about a little steam engine who, with the help of his friends and the mysterious Starlight Express, proved to all train folk just what steam could do. The six marveled at one another, they had never seen the kids so quiet or so engaged. Momma shot her boy and his partners a wink as she continued the story. “I don’t know why we didn’t just do this before. It seems like the smart choice,” Rusty whispered to Pearl, who shushed him before herding her lovers off to the bedroom. Momma could stick around a little while longer.

Twirling my hair

Been a hot second, here's a little something from the stex cartoon idea again teehee, been working on these for almost a month

The goal was to explore what everyone's formal wear looks like (there's a little lore post abt it in the server), but I thought it would be really funny to pose them like prom photos

[starlight-lesbians]

I wanna write an au where all the stex characters work at either a coffee shop or the taco bell next door (rosters tbd) bc they’re all broke college students

They do stuff like organizing trades (burritos for lattes etc) and get stoned out back together on their breaks

So far I think it would go like this as for rosters:

Coffee Shop Crew:

Dinah

Pearl

Tassita

Belle

Electra

Momma (shes the manager and Real Adult™️)

Taco Bell Crew

Greaseball

Rusty

The Freights

They don’t get a real adult :( Greaseball is the night shift lead but she only shows up to stare at the pretty girl that works the coffee shop drive thru LMAO

AHHHHHH I NEED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BOCW OCS!!! I LOVE THEM SM

I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE THEM😭🫶🏻❤️ I'd love to share more about them, thank you for asking!!!

Y'all already know who Helina is at this point but I'm still working on a proper ref for her that will include way more info. School is just getting in the way right now😵 ANYWAY, she was actually adopted by Perseus and raised by him, though not much is known about those early days. What is known is that he was raising her with the intent that she would one day replace him as Perseus.

Eileen is an expert in behavior analysis and was actually one of the first to pioneer the study of the subject (at least in the BO universe). She's usually called in to analyze targets being pursued by Hudson and Adler, giving them insight on the best way to approach these people and what their next moves could be. Most notably, she provided an analysis on the woman who became Bell but wasn't involved in the actual brainwashing.

Hanh has a rather complicated relationship with the United States and the CIA. She's thankful that they're working to remove communist forces from Vietnam but knows it's not really for the betterment of the people living there. At this point, she's using her position in the CIA to advocate for her country's freedom from both sides of the political spectrum. She occasionally works alongside MACV-SOG but does not operate as a permanent member of the group.

Ilya used to be a member of the KGB before joining up with Perseus. He earned his alias "Hydra" from his ability to mimic the behavior of other people after observing them for a short time. His fellow agents likened him to the mythical hydra, comparing the multitude of personalities he's "collected" over the years to the beast's multiple heads. Also, the name may or may not be a reference to a movie *cough* Winter Soldier *cough*
