The toxic gossip train

[chaoticninjar]

Unfortunately for me I don’t have a monkey in my brain telling me what to do, it’s just the freight trains hopping around

[junglefurytrash]

Thank you Tumblr for blessing me with this completely unhinged thread that made me laugh so hard my lungs hurt, and it's associated reblogs and posts/extra funnies.

Today's Starlight Shitposts; Greaseball being introduced to the absolute insanity that is Greek Mythology and everybody else in the group has random chunks of knowledge surrounding this topic except him and he becomes increasingly exasperated.

Momma was looking for the freight for a little while now, seems they decided to go to sleep early and that Greaseball joined them. Probably best to let them sleep.

(The reason Greaseball is there is a headcannon for another post. The freight all having different hair was on purpose, I like drawing hair and experimenting with hair.)

You know what, I'm gonna say this and you guys might hate me for it... But Flattop and Dustin are the Timon and Pumba of the show. They both fit the trope of the big sweet heart and smaller chaotic friend duo. But also Timon and Pumba like insects, Flattop and Dustin have interest in building materials.

HELLO STEX TUMBLR!!!!

Have you ever been sitting there, thinking about those wonderful trains we all love so much, and then thought ‘hm, I wonder how much the four 2024 London revival freight trucks would weigh as actual train cars theoretically’?

Well boy oh boy do I have the document for you!

I have spent a little bit of time (10+ hours) pulling together a Google doc with a bunch of “research” that I’ve done into what I think the four revival trucks (Porter, Lumber, Slick, and Hydra) would weigh potentially as actual rolling stock! I’d say it was for fun but idk if it actually remained fun working on it close to the end.

Regardless, for anyone interested in reading over it all, it has been linked!

For anyone not interested in reading and is just willing to trust my math and web browsing and decisions, here is a screenshot of the final conclusion page listing the possible tare weight and total weight at max load!

Please read over the lengthy disclaimer page though if possible, I do make a bunch of important notes there that you should consider!!

Thank you for hearing me out, I hope this information is somewhat useful for you all :)

FLATTOP!!! I can't believe how much I actually like this Freight, he gives me so much serotonin. But I swear... His vibes remind me of a Geordie. If you don't know what that is, look it up. It's kinda hard to explain, but that is what he makes me think of and that is what he is to me.

Freight might be great chat

“Starlight Express as texts,” meme except it’s just messages between me and my sibling.

aka it’s all freight interactions.

Finally posting my StEx OC?!?!?!

This is my Wembley freight OC, Fritz (he/they), who is based on a model union pacific freezer car!! He grew up with the freights and is is very good friends with voulta, though neither would ever admit to that. They love racing, but tend to overexert themselves and overheat easily. If it was up to him he would race in every race, but as their condition keeps him from racing as often as he'd like he's always in the stands watching and planning how to help the engine they partner with the next race they're in. They have a carriage bf too (Beau) whom they love very much. :))

Lemme know if you want to know anything about him, I'd love to share haha :))

The other freight trucks treat hydra like that vegan cousin that constantly tries to convert you and is a pain in the ass but you put up with them anyway because you love em

For reference

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, everyone! :D

Have some Starlight Shitposts, because I don't know if I'll be able to put out the next chapter of TPSC specifically today on Christmas itself - Mainly because this one comes with a third edit. Expect it very soon though!

The fuel trucks!

Slick and her brothers.

I got a bit lazy drawing Porter(as it took 10 days for me to draw the boys) but they look so cute together!

Some headcannons to go with it!

-Porter is the eldest then Lumber and Slick with Hydra as the youngest. (In the AU at the time of the race Rusty wins Slick is 17 going on 18, Hyrda just turned 15 and Lumber and Porter are both 19.)

-rolling stock typically starts working at 15 to 17 years old but Freight tend to start working at 14, so one year younger then coaches and engines.

-Slick was the youngest for a little while, basically adopting Porter and Lumber as her brothers. Porter and Lumber love their little sister and go along with pretty much anything she plans, which sort of made them her henchmen. (Hydra has NO CLUE Slick does crime. He would not believe you if you tried to tell him either.)

-the freight think of Momma as their aunt, Rusty as their cousin.

To simply translate, Flattop doesn't want the youngest of the Freight to deliver to Electra. Just the bodyguards, it's something... Everyone but Hermes knows the reason why for.
