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.

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 🚂

stex month day 6: ashley!

favorite actor: chrissy wickham and emma prosser!

favorite songs/scenes: def girls rolling stock! the choreo is so fun, so is a lotta locomotion

favorite costumes: bochum, specifically with the longer skirt!! it's so pretty <3 i also like her showgirl costume, i think it's the cutest of the bunch. big fan of late london when the metal hairpiece was triangular too

favorite ships/friendships: i'm not super invested in ashley/buffy but it's cute enough! i also hc her and duvay as sisters and they're very close :)

headcanons: offering ppl a cigarette is one of her go-to ways to try and comfort them! she's willing to give up the last one she has. she also likes those big fancy cigarette holders and has a collection of them

unpopular opinion: tbh i don't think i have one?? she's not a very contentious character. i guess i'm not super upset about her being cut even if i do like her

[u-n-c-o-u-p-l-e-d-dwoht]

Why is this the angle i use for all my photos like... be and pookie looking like

Starlight Express Appreciation Month 2024

Hello! So I originally wasn't going to do one this year, but a few people motivated me to give it a go.

I know there were some issues last year with how I grouped the characters. This year, I made an effort to improve things with feedback from the Discord server. However, with the addition of the new London character, it became quite tricky to assign everyone their own day, especially since we now have a total of 46 characters!

Due to this, I've had to leave out a few minor characters (Sleepers, Duvay, Gang, Marshals), but I've added a day for the minor characters at the end for anyone who wants to focus on them! If you'd prefer to choose one of these characters over another, feel free to do so! The list is simply a suggestion.

Start date: 1st September 2024

Question prompts for each day if you want to use them: - Favourite Actor? - Favourite Song/Scenes? - Favourite Costumes? - Favourite Ships/Friendships? - Headcanons? - Unpopular Opinion?
