#starlight drive in

[fallout-terminals]

Let me clear the train tracks and fix the train by Starlight Drive In.

The Starlight Drive In had some great movies lined up.

Starlight.

I was trying to integrate the Wasteland Theater into something nice. So turning Starlight back into some sort of “entertainment” capital of the world where actors come to train! 

I am imagining radio dramas, right here. :>

Anyway, building UP is really hard for me.

Back at it again with trying to make a cool piece with Rusty and stars with a blue backdrop/scene.

Blizzard can't just say Lifeweaver used to watch Symmetra practice dancing for hours on end without giving them matching skins and synced emotes

Do you think she's taught him the steps to several duets that he'd do on his own anytime he missed her more than anything over the years because it felt like she was still with him

TAKIISHI CHIKA IN CHAPTER 153

[catenary-chad]

Thrifting/antiquing/flea market shopping headcanons, continued. Ft. basically everyone else in the cast.

Other engines:

Greaseball buys a lot of used car/other machine parts, he gravitates towards overbuilt 50s equipment that’s easy to modify and repair so he goes to the used market a lot.  He’s relatively “typical” size and tends to have an easier time than many others finding used clothes. The Gang are his flying monkeys looking for stuff for him… to mixed results.

McCoy and Rusty collect old prewar/postwar era toy and model trains.  Whenever they see electric ones they get confused and call it a “trolley”, alien artifact, or “sci fi revisionist nonsense”.  

The Nationals are not opposed to doing a little shopping while abroad, it can be really fun to thrift/vintage shop overseas.  Caveat: there’s probably even funnier answers to this section based on what people actually like buying abroad irl but I don’t know enough about that so I’m going off vibes.  Very open to suggestions if you have fun more cultural ones.  

Ruhrgold gets excited by American amusement park and carnival stuff (merch, models, etc) because Germany has a strong culture of them that’s very different from the US so they’re a real novelty to him.

The British Engine likes miniatures.  Cartoonishly tiny versions of things because they are tiny by train standards due to the British loading gauge.  

The Japanese Engine LOVES the New York subway system and thinks New York is way cooler and more glamorous than it really is.  Buys all kinds of stuff related to the romantic ideal of the city and especially its trains.  Goes nuts for any kind of subway stuff they’ve seen in movies and associates with exciting foreign cities.  (This bit is based on actual sentiment among some Japanese railfans and 80s city pop) 

Coco/Bobo- god help me it’s hard to think of anything for these two, I just imagine them shaking their heads in disappointment.  I could see them being bafflingly excited by anything involving the Milwaukee Road since it was an early influence on early French rail electrification.  

Turnov will quietly get banned or hard to acquire music and media to smuggle home, probably skewing towards punk rock

Espresso and Electra are often into the same Italian designers but they are very different sizes and thus have a mutual truce. 

(Not doing the Wembley engines because I just don’t know enough about them and they don’t have strong real-life inspirations to draw from)

FREIGHT

Dustin knows what to look for in terms of used workwear and will point it out to the other freights (and other people in general).  Poor guy tends to leave disappointed since big and tall tends to be very hard to find used, but he loves to help others.  

Especially Flat-Top, who’s newer to it and doesn’t really know what to look for for his DIY projects.  If they find something good that just has some damage/needs repairs, he loves patching stuff up in typical punk fashion.  

The Rockies and Hip Hoppers follow Dustin around like a line of ducklings when he goes to mineral society shows.  You can get some great deals on Cool Rocks at them since a lot of the sellers are just rockhounds selling off their extras or selling deceased members’ collections off vs more commercial vendors.  Morbid side note: nothing makes you feel more impermanent than buying a dead guy’s Cool Rocks, knowing they have been here for millions of years and will outlive you by orders of magnitudes unless something truly catastrophic happens.

Rockies tend to look for lightly used sports equipment.  Hoppers go for the logomania brands Electra rejects and try to convince them that they’re actually cool. 

CB always goes for old radios and electronics of course, often teaming up with Electra to look for stuff to cannibalize for parts.  Evil Twink Caboose is into tinplate toys and often successfully convinces Rusty that they’re cool.  It’s always something that secretly has lead paint or sketchy ancient electronics though. Post 2018 Caboose likes novelty piggy banks and will hide evidence of his crimes inside things he sells/donates to rid himself of it.

Slick is excited by unusual plastics, especially collectible/rare stuff like Bakelite.  I think she would enjoy plastic dinos and old gas station merch.  

Porter hangs around Dustin and the Rockies/Hoppers at rock shows looking for coal and hand tools for rock collecting

Lumber views all wood in terms of burnability and everyone goes out of their way to keep him away from nice old furniture.  He WILL chuck that nice old hardwood in a fireplace even if it’s a bespoke artisan piece.  It’s been very hard to shake him from his ways.

Hydra likes airship and zeppelin related stuff.  Sketchy old chemistry sets that may or may not have actual uranium or instructions on how to make things explode too.

COMPONENTS

Volta is always looking for stuff to mod in her typical gothy DIY projects. She often comes out with a baffling assortment of clothes but somehow makes something cool from them.  Also drawn to VERY warm winterwear and will go on and on about what produces the best insulation.  And snowglobes.  I could see her being into snowglobes.

Joule always manages to find stuff with sketchy chemicals, asbestos, or other toxic things in them from back in the day when that was accepted.  She has to be lured away with cute ceramic animal figurines.  

Purse is always looking in pockets and compartments for money and money alone.  He’s probably the only one who’s actually a reseller and goes for items he knows he can flip for a lot.  If the cashier takes too long to calculate things he’ll often whip out a sheet of paper and do the math by hand at light speed. 

Krupp looks for more of the obscure/European tool and electronic brands that Greaseball doesn’t know and Electra is kind of sketchy on.  Also Kraftwerk media.  He will inspect any CD/record/etc looking for rarities.  Also excited by unusual hardware regardless of true usefulness.

Killerwatt pretends to know what Krupp is talking about and silently judges display cases based on security. 

MISC

The Marshalls are always on the lookout for skate and scooter parts

Control hates clothes shopping with their mom no matter where they go but can be bribed by the offer of getting a new toy train at the end

[starlight-lesbians]

talk to me about drive thru express please its actually making me insane (pos)

omg i’m just going thru my asks but hi i’m gonna yap

So ofc i’m incredibly brainrotted about greasedinah so this au is definitely centred around them.

They met in high school when Dinah was a freshman and GB (Graham in this au) was a junior, so about 14 and 16 respectively

They stay best friends up until Dinah sophomore year of college, when they finally start dating.

The slowburn is so silly bc Graham is head over heels for Dinah really early on, but says nothing about it because Dinah is growing up in a super religious family and she’s not had the chance to come to terms with her sexuality yet.

They get together and not much changes from how it was before because even as friends they could’ve been mistaken for a couple.

In my heart this is true of all greasedinah variants, but Graham in particular absolutely spoils Dinah I fear. She’s got her own step to get up in Graham’s truck, her own blankets and seat cushions, anything she wants. This is true even before they’re dating.

Graham manages the Taco Bell, particularly on night shift, but in reality she’s the only manager who gives a shit so she’s the one they call when something happens

Dinah’s like Momma’s second in command, she’s the night shift lead while Momma is the store manager.

Momma knows about the group’s excursions out to the picnic table clearing, and she thinks it’s hilarious that they think they’re sneaky

They’re all in college, at different years and in different majors

Dinah’s a nutrition science major with minors in culinary arts and restaurant management

Graham is a music major but she’s at the school on a sports scholarship

Pearl’s an astronomy major

Rusty’s a mechanical engineering major

Electra is an electrical engineering major

unsure on everyone else’s majors tbh

[nozomijoestar]

I think I'm finally starting to realize Claudine wasn't just trying to tell Maya to remember her humanity or to open herself to others, to acknowledge Claudine and Claudine's love, about human passion winning over lifeless godhood- Revue of Souls was also saying what good is pride if it can't be shared

[jaii-taylorr]

I am very invested in this idiots to lovers situation happening in the RP server with GreaseDinah

[turbo-virgins]

when season 2 of fallout comes out, if there’s any plot/setting similarities between (Don’t Fear) The Reaper and anything they do in the show I’m never gonna shut up about it btw
