Greaseball Appreciation Day: Sept 3, 2024.

Greaseball day- Looks like it is Greaseball day!

Favorite Greaseball? @gb-diesellok . He is hands down the cutest, best looking one. Muscular and with beautiful curves. See those muscles! He looks great in every paintjob he has had as well. Charming personality.

Favorite costume (character): All of them. all of them have their own personality. As a lover of GB, I enjoy even the On Ice and Tuacahn bulky one. My mind is capable of seeing the designs and making a handsome and beautiful version of it. Greaseball's charisma and beauty transcends 'bad' costumes to me.

Favorite song: Rolling Stock, Pumping Iron. As well as a song not canon to this universe: Engine of Love (Daylight Ver.)

Favorite Scenes: When he laughs and mocks Poppa/Momma. Terrorizing the competition. Beautiful.I also enjoy all of Pumping Iron.

Favorite Relationships(not calling them ships): GBxMe. GBxDiesel Gang. GBxDinah. GbxAnyPearl. GBxAny or All the coaches.

I have no 'headcanons' because I rarely if ever think of the musical version unless it is a dedicated discussion about him. I do have a personal canon (the same way your life is your personal canon.) that is my past life with him which to me answers a lot of questions that fans have as well as resolves a lot of problems that the fans seem to have with his musical counterpart. (If you want to know more about this, ask! Things such as why CB is with GB. Why GB yells out CB during the race with hashi in it...)

Unpopular Opinion: You have the power to fix him. If you hate him, that is on you. But this also goes for any character ever, however if hating is what heals you then it is fine. I understand that sentiment.

Thundercab (Genderbent GB aka 2024's Lady GB)

I have no favorite actor because I have not seen enough covers yet.

Favorite songs: the same as ungenderbent GB.

Favorite Scenes: Not sure yet, I need to watch more boots. However I enjoy the spark gun. Unique to her.

Favorite Relationship: xDinah. xMe.(1) xGB.(2)

Headcanon: I took in @gb-diesellok 's HC that was: Thundercab and Dolly(2024 dinah) are not train racers but partake in train roller derby.

(1) I HC this character as a flamboyant 'gay male' engine with the name Gearbox so I can do some selfshipping. I also HC the Dinah as a 'male' coach.

(2) Alternatively, I HC also her in a relationship with GB as part of his diesel gang ranking high in the gang.

Unpopular opinion: People are weird/agressive about HCs and ships with this character despite saying they embrace HCS, different perspectives, and so on. The musical itself does have her in a ship with a female coach, however she can be bi or other things. The same way people HC sexualities/attraction for other characters or even GB himself. I do not take into account what actors say on social media, their opinions are not mine and their opinions are the same as any fan's to me.

ICON PROJECT: 2024 engines and freight

[the-starlight-lullaby]

SUPER self-indulgent caregiver board for female!Greaseball (or as I like to call her, Thundercab) from the new production bc I love it and her so much, she's so strong and confident she'd be such a protective mama and she would love me so so much 🥺 She'd be like Greaseball in the sense she's not the super gentle type, but she'd try her hardest to be soft for her baby. I struggle a lot with self care and I know she'd be there to help me get better. She'd carry me to bed, help me brush my teeth and make sure I eat good. "You can't get as strong as me if you don't eat all your food!"

👑|💛|👑 👑|💛|👑 👑|💛|👑

(Also PLEEEASE don't comment mean or hateful things about the new production on this post!! I love it so much and I am really attached to all of the characters :<)

HIIIII I'm back bringing more Starlight Shitposts, because I've lowkey missed doing these for the funny, and also we now have the 2024 cast to add to them!

So we've got, in terms of characters: - Pre-2018 StEx: Rusty, Pearl, Greaseball, Red Caboose, Dinah, Ashley, Buffy, Duvay, Electra, Krupp, Wrench, Purse, Volta, Joule, & Charge (OC). - Post 2018 StEx: Belle, Carrie, Elektronic (2018 Electra), Killerwatt, Socket (2018 Wrench), Zero (2018 Volta), & Dyne (2018 Joule). - 2024 StEx: Corry (2024 Rusty), Moonstone (2024 Pearl), Dolly (2024 Dinah), Barbara (2024 Belle), Tassita, Thundercab (2024 GB), Lumber, Porter, Hydra, Slick, Galvanic (2024 Electra), Hardwire (2024 Killerwatt), Radial (2024 Wrench), Vapor (2024 Volta/Zero), & Ampera (2024 Joule).

Stex Appreciation Month 2024

Day 3: Greaseball

Favorite Actor: Robert Torti, John Schiappa, Micheal Quinn, David Brown, Rory McCollum, Al Knott

Favorite Song: Rolling Stock, Pumping Iron, One Rock 'N Roll Too Many

Favorite Costume: Current Bochum one, favorite tidbits from previous costumes are the Broadway mullet and the US/UK headband. I do like the New London costume

Favorite Costume: GreaseDinah, Greased Lightning

Headcanon: Thundercab (New London fem!GB) can play a mean bass

Greaseball has a soft spot for dogs

Unpopular Opinion: I don't know about 'unpopular' but girl Greaseball is pretty fire.

[wonderful-magician]

Remember my 2024 greaseball design? WELL IT SUCKED ASS LIKE ACTUALLY it was just the actual design but I made it bad. This time I actually Bochum-ed/old-ed it I think I think I win now. THUNDERCAB!!! ADMIRE HER!!

I usually draw her more buff but since I don't shade my refs it was hard to make her look natural so pretend her thighs look like that girl who squishes watermelons with said thighs

[junglefurytrash]

Rubs hands together deviously

Pearl/Rusty of course (Pre-2018, though Post-2018 Pearl and Rusty are very cute too obviously)

Corry/Moonstone/Hydra, aka 2024 Rusty/Pearl/Hydra

Red Caboose/Dinah (Pre-2018)

Electra/Components/Greaseball (Pre-2018) - It's more "Electra's in a massive polycule and also GB is there on the side happy to share his sparkly partner" but I find 'em all cute regardless.

Speaking of Components though I ship their polycule hardcore I do specifically prefer to pair up Krupp/Purse, Volta/Joule, and Wrench/OC Charge as like their closest significant other within the polycule.

Elektronic/Components, aka Post-2018 Electra/Components

Galvanic/Components, aka 2024 Electra/Components (though this hasn't taken effect yet in my AU canon because they need their character development first)

Ashley/Buffy

Duvay/Tassita

Dolly/Thundercab, aka 2024 Dinah/Greaseball, but also Dolly/Radial aka 2024 Dinah/Wrench - Dolly's gonna just be using both hands to hold both partners. :D

Slick/Ampera, aka 2024 Slick/Joule

Belle (2018)/Coco the French National (this one's a very new ship after the StEx Bochum instagram posted a video of them under the mistletoe doing what they call a Train Kiss which has just made me utterly melt)

And these are just the main ships I personally prefer, I still think pre-and-post-2018 Dinah and GB are sweet, some people ship OG London Rusty and Wrench and I like that too, there's honestly so many ships for Starlight Express due to there being so many iterations and generations of characters.

TELL ME YOUR STEX SHIPS PLEASE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

(I need to know what I like so I can decide on ships n shit)

PUMPIMG IRON AND ONE ROCK ROLL TOO MANY!!! Idk sometimes Rolling stock is a vibe but specifically Jeff shankley !!

Notes

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!!

[wonderful-magician]

Thundercab the Diesel!

WOOOOOOO EVIL LESBIAN I LOVE YOU!! actually she seems a lot nicer than GB from what I can tell😭

I am still mostly a original Greaseball enjoyer but I do love thundercab. She's so fun. Her singing sounds like screaming to me most the time. She's a cheerleader/pos

What a silly ladyyy. Go beat the shit out of electrics and steamers and date your pretty dining car. That's the diesel way. 🎉 It's enriching.

[wonderful-magician]

50% chance they'll keep kissing, 50% chance they'll try to kill each other.
