StEx Appreciation Month Day 3: Greaseball

Today I've drawn @gb-diesellok ! (rather than a Greaseball design from the show)

GB is so cool ermmm he is awesome. The more bootlegs I watch, the more I like him. His entrance in Pumping Iron where he comes all the way down onto the stage and the coaches go wild and Electra is nottt happy about it... He just has so much swag.

His costume is one of my favourites in the show + it's barely changed over the years because it was perfect to begin with.

I'm pretty sure everyone likes Greaseball, and the people who say they don't like him are lying to themselves.

I was going to post something else, I had another drawing at the ready to go! But no! @princeelectra you had to post this, you had to give the brain worms the fuel for me to draw this. I blame you for this Leccy, I blame you very much/j

Electra, please... Stop trying to convert him to electric, he's a techphobe, and your idea of flirting is not working.

EYYY It's Hydra Day!!! @isaterriblebore

He's one of my favorite guys and it's so surprising since he's one of the newest. I need to put him in a particle accelerator and watch him spin forever. <3

A lotta locomotion! That’s what we need!

“Ich heiße Dinah!l

“Buffy hier bei mir gibt's Bier.”

“Ich bin Ashley, bin der Rauchwaggon!”

“Ich heiß Pearl, bin neu im Verkehr!”

Doing Ashley made me have a crisis, i had to compres the gif so it wasn’t over 10mb :( (she was only 10.44 MB LOL)

StEx Appreciation Month Day 1: Rusty

Rusty deserves to be happy. He gets mocked, rejected, beaten up, double-crossed, yet he still keeps going.

Some actors portray him as hopeless and naive, even delusional. Others portray him as determined and full of potential... And then there's the original production where he wasn't taking anyone's crap.

Crazy is a catchy tune but Call Me Rusty completely mogs it. I prefer the context of his introduction being an angry response to the mockery he's receiving rather than "Hello wamen, pls consider".

Rusty and Pearl are cute together on an aesthetic level. Aside from that I don't ship him with anyone.

I have a soft spot for Ray Shell in the OLC recording... Greg Mowry in the Broadway boot is really good too 🚂

Time to give my friend her daily dose of greaseball

[unknown-art-room1]

I had a thought which lead to a headcannon and now you all have to hear it.

Okay, for starters I recalled a lot of people in this fandom like to make the Stex characters very human like or put them in full on human aus. Then I remembered something about diesel engines, you have to be very careful about the fuel you put in it or it's just a bad time for everyone... Which lead me down this spiral of thoughts.

So, Greaseball is the one who started off this train of thought and who it is mainly centred about. But if diesel engines can have only certain fuels, then as a human that would translate to them having a very strict diet. Probably even food intolerances and allergies, limiting what they can eat. But, since they're dating Dinah she can make them so many safe foods that actually taste good.

Next up, the electrics... Honestly, I can see them eating only "pure" food. Mainly a vegetarian/vegan diet but can and will eat only expensive meat. The entire ideology is it has to be free from any chemicals and no guilt would come from eating the food they have. Electra would probably eat a lot of salads. Though, I can also see them not being able to handle rich foods.

The steamers, no dietary restrictions or anything like that, but I can see them having more of a food culture based on how they prep it. In other words, they like to roast, boil and steam the foods they eat... Hell maybe even BBQ on the occasion. Rusty might have a more mixed diet since he works with the freights a lot? Not sure.

I don't think the trucks, freights or coaches would have any restrictions but would have a similar case to the steamers. It's more based on their jobs?

For example, the freights would have more finger food/packed lunches. They are more represented as the working class, so I can see them eating food that's fast to eat like sandwiches, or left overs. I can definitely see CB just sitting back with the most picnic like packed lunch.

The coaches I believe would have the most variety, but they each have a preference. Dinah and Buffy would have the biggest variety since they can cook, but it's more like diner/cafe food. Ashley and Carrie would be more little snacks and orderves (I have no no idea how you spell that word).

For the trucks... I don't actually know. I don't know much about them so I can't say. But, I would love to hear your thoughts and feelings about this! So please don't be afraid to add to this!
