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

STEX APPRECIATION MONTH DAY 14: DUSTIN
Favorite Actor(s): Gavin Ashbarry is the ONLY Dustin and I am not exaggerating.
Favorite Song/Scenes: Rusty And Dustin is such a cute scene eeeee. Also love how shy he is during his intro in Freight
Favorite Costume(s): Broadway and Japan/Aus since his makeup there is Not Scary as opposed to Bochum which for decades insisted on giving him the scariest makeup ever. At least the 2018 update fixed him <3
Favorite Ships/Friendships: I don't ship him with anyone since I see him as aro/ace! His closest friends are Rusty, Flat Top, and CB!!!
Headcanons: Dustin collects cool rocks he finds by the tracks on the freight routes. He keeps them lined up in his section of the shed :)
Unpopular Opinion: I don't think this is unpopular but oh my god they NEED to stop hiring the tiniest little twig men and sticking them in fat suits. I feel like especially the latest Bochum casts have been getting the guys with the thinnest faces ever it's so creepy. Just get some fat guys to play him Please.

StEx Appreciation Month Day 2: Pearl!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Face Claim: Lovette George (I AM A HUGE REVA PEARL ENJOYER BUT SHE'S ALREADY MY FC FOR MOMMA!)
Favourite Song/Scenes: OLC He Whistled At Me, Pfeife für mich (the German lyrics are less muddled than the English ones imo), Her twirls during Make Up My Heart, “Pearl-lease let me go with you!”, Only He, Only You/ Du Allein (my heart also melts when she calls Rusty the starlight on the OLC 🥺), PRUSTY ARM THING!!! RAAHHH!!
Favourite Costumes: Early London fluffy skirt and the Japan/Aus tour cotton candy-looking wig (I love the little braids!)
Favourite Ships/Friendships: Pearl x Rusty, Pearl x Coco, Pearl x Electra (but mostly Workshop Electra because it's silly to me). Her friends are the coaches (especially Dinah and Belle Jr.), Rusty, Dustin, Poppa, Momma, and Electra (post-canon)
Headcanons: She's an adrenaline junkie and has always wanted to be a racer. Of course she would jump at the chance to race with the reigning champion! Post-canon she goes on to become a champion racing coach
Unpopular Opinion: Aside from her and Rusty's meet-cute (Pfeife für mich is so adorable!), I don't really like the rewrites where she's completely new to the yard. It's more interesting to me when she and Rusty have a bit of history
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

hands that fix / eyes that shield
fav actresses: there are so many wrench actresses i like!! i haven't seen footage of her but recently maja johansson is my fav visual inspo for her <33 the perf faceclaim honestly
fav ships: oh u know i'm unironically mentally ill about wrench x rusty. i think she deserves softness in the form of the kindest most stubborn idiot she's ever met. that "older workaholic couple learning to love for the first time in many years" dynamic just gets me. i also love dinah x wrench OF COURSE and my besties are massive brained for coming up with that one <333 volta x wrench and joule x wrench also favs
headcannons: she used to be a steam crane before converting herself to a diesel hydraulic crane. she's self propelled so she's pretty fast and can't race behind an engine in partner races since she's classed as one herself. she's been a dedicated race medic and trainer her entire life, and is highly sought after by professional racers. inbetween racer contracts she works as a standby medic for races. hasn't dated in decades because she prioritizes her career and is thrilled to have found herself a partner who is cool never being her first priority and values independence. repaired and brought joule to life and is incredibly fond of her <3 owns two robocats who live with rusty. constantly feels cold due to a fluke in her conversion. is the only train to have done her own conversion with her own hands. instead of dreaming when asleep she runs maintenance on her code. has misophonia and major depressive disorder. convinced she doesn't know how to be vulnerable or loveable. krupp is her oldest friend and has worked with her many times before they both got hired by electra. big enjoyer of different teas. is a crazy workaholic. has triangular pupils which nobody knows the explanation behind. has seen her fair share of death and suffering as a trackside emergency responder. has an innate need to look put together to other people at all times even when she's struggling. knows how to fight and will fight to protect her loved ones (the components). rough and blunt on the outside. gift giving and acts of service are her love languages. doesn't really have a home because she's traveling with electra so often. there's more but this is a huge wall of text already
opinion: i don't like it when men cover her tbh let androgynous women be women. luuk hartog is the only exception bc he's so damn good at her makeup
#i didn't proofread any of these pls let me know if i fucked up the grammar or spelling anywhere#i love her so much you guys#stex appreciation month 2024#stex#starlight express#starlight express fanart#stex fanart#starex#wrench the repair truck#stex wrench#wrench stex#art or whatever#rambles#headcannons

It’s mostly audios I need but I love making edits ppl wanna see! (Starlight express themed only unfortunately </3)

I definitely prefer male greaseball when it comes to singing but female greaseball is such a vibe. Tbh. She's not at the absolute top but she deserves any and all attention and love she gets!! Lover her!!

stex month day five: electra!
favorite actors: jeffrey daniel, koffi missah, mykal rand, john partridge, leon maurice-jones, and lashane williams!
favorite songs/scenes: ac/dc is such a good song, i esp love the olc and update bochum versions where it sounds super off-kilter and kind of creepy. electra throwing a tantrum in no comeback/dinah's disco and getting wrecked in one rock n roll is so fun too! special shoutout to the gl kiss <3
favorite costumes: toothpaste electra with the super long mowhawk and liberal amounts of glitter is always peak, but i like the update costume a lot too! the wig especially, it's honestly mesmerizing to watch. also very fond of on-ice electra he is a banana
favorite ships/friendships: greasedlightning <333 their relatinoship would be such a disaster and i'm here for it. i also like the thought of electra trying to be besties with rusty by constantly inserting himself as a third wheel. also electra & flat top just based on backstage pics...electra brings him home to the components like look i found this stray on the side of the road :)
headcanons: he's the train equivalent of chronically ill! he's prone to random shut-downs (hence the 'unreliable' line) and has to rest a lot between races
unpopular opinion: the monochrome costume is good actually. i didn't like it at first but it grew on me a lot!

STEX APPRECIATION MONTH DAY 7: BUFFY
Favorite Actor(s): Louise Jones, Carla Pullen
Favorite Song/Scenes: Her intros are in A Lotta Locomotion are always so fun. Also love her lezzing out with Ashley in Girls Rolling Stock naturally.
Favorite Costume(s): Unpopular opinion but late 2000s/2010's Bochum is my favorite era of Buffy costumes. I think the colors there are just so pleasant and I love when her hair is in a blonde updo.
Favorite Ships/Friendships: Smoked Hotdogs best ship ever. For friendships I think her and Dinah are besties (they discuss cooking) but I also think she would get along really well with Wrench!
Headcanons: Buffy is such a busy body, she's always doing something and gets antsy when she's idle. I headcanon her to serve like sandwiches and snacks and to be open 24/7 or very late so she has a lot of work to do.
Unpopular Opinion: I understand why she was written out but I don't CAARE I miss her so much. Plus I think losing the only coach that doesn't wear a skirt was so sad :(

StEx Appreciation Month Day 5: Electra!
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Face Claim: Leon Maurice-Jones
Favourite Song/Scenes: AC/DC (the versions where he descends from the sky are so funny! Buddy, you're a train. What were you doing up there?), No Comeback ("EAT MY DUST!!"), ORARTM (the kiss boot), when he throws a tantrum during Dinah's Disco
Favourite Costumes: Bochum mid 2000’s to 2018. The perfect Electra costume should have big hair, long lashes, bold makeup, and look like a glitter bomb went off. I also like the early Bochum wigs that swoop to one side
Favourite Ships/Friendships: Electra x Greaseball, Electra x Greaseball x Red Caboose, Electra x Components. His friends are the Cabeese and the Components (and Dinah post-canon)
Headcanons: He is fluent in English, French, German, Italian, and Japanese. He probably knows several other languages too but he mainly uses them to impress others and/or flirt.
Unpopular Opinion: Out of all the StEx antagonists, he's by far the least "evil" (and that word should be taken with a grain of salt-- I don't believe any StEx characters are truly evil)
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Bonus round: Elektra!
Face Claim: Semme Prins
Favourite Song/Scenes: AC/DC, Beelektra moments 🥺, his little temper tantrums are funny and I like the way his wig swishes around whenever he moves
Favourite Costumes: I love the LED panels on his costume! They look really cool when he's fully lit. The monochrome looks so good when he's lined up with his components!
Favourite Ships/Friendships: Elektra x Brake Van
Headcanons: Mood ring Elektra!!! (his lights change colors based on his mood)
Unpopular Opinion: His costume isn't bad (?!) or boring just because it's monochrome!
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
