The toxic gossip train

[junglefurytrash]

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!

Freight might be great chat

[gayass-trainyard]

New pfp i made for a roleplay server i just joined bc obviously i wanna roleplay myself (if u use as a pfp pls either credit me by linking to this blog or rb this) RAAAHHHHidk im not good at editing shit but i like it

[vixessrin]

ofc i had to draw the New London freight train too! Tried to give them their train details back, plus some nods to what each of them do/what they carry (like Lumber's pack have skeleton pegs for logs, Slick having hazard pictograms, Porter having a miner's helmet, etc)! I honestly had a lot of fun figuring these guys out c:

My starlight express wishlist:

A 2024 London cast recording PLEASE (I did see a tiktok from one of the cast saying they were recording something so I'm holding out hope for this one)

GOOD KAREOKE TRACKS including older songs like next time you fall in love because there is nothing on youtube😭

On that note, a starlight piano sheet music book would be greatly appreciated

Pink Pearl. I want her back. I love Bochums costume and I don't mind London's, but in London Belle is already purple so why make Pearl purple and white??

Girls rolling stock I'm literally begging

This one will never ever happen but I want that Japanese promotional song 'the train' to be somewhere lmao it's such a banger

NEW FREIGHT REDESIGNS

i had sm fun redesigning new freight i wasnt a fan of how similar their outfits looked but i really liked the colors they used so i tried to keep the colors but i change them very slightly

i ended up making porter a hopper bc i heard he transports coal and i think it makes sense

also if youre wondering abt the eyes these designs are specifically for my au and i like to design their eyes to kinda match what train they are

Hydra: Exists

Porter, Lumber & Slick:

Any similarity is purely coincidental.

I don't think many of you will be interested in this, but if you are, I made a StEx oc! This is Hermes! He's a mail carriage! Mail freight? I couldn't find the exact term.

But it's very on the nose to what he is and what he does, he is the delivery boy! He takes packages and letters all over because that's what he loves, it's his hyperfixation. He's so hyperfixated that he will carry the supplies to write letters, or wrap up a package on him at all time. You need tape? He's got it! A stamp or two? Here you go! Paper for something? Plenty of it!

What can he do? Well apart from carrying everyone's packages, I imagine he could store a lot of stuff inside himself almost like the Tardis. Plus, like his name sake, he's really fast. As a joke, I like to imagine he's faster then then engines but not interested in racing himself. But, he does like to watch to see who is the fastest, cause he wants to couple up with the fastest! The faster the engine, the faster Hermes can make his deliveries.

I wouldn't recommend giving him sugar or caffeine... He's hyper enough as it is, don't want to make it worse. He Is also always fidgeting, if he can't roll about he's trying to do something crafty with his hands. Way too much energy he needs to burn off.

Finally his relationship with the others:

For the most part, he hangs out with the other Freights since that's basically his family he works with. Especially CB, those two are basically brothers with how similar they look.

The Rockies and Dustin don't seem to mind him, though Flattop does try to keep throwing bricks at him... Thankfully he misses.

Slick, Lumber, Porter and Hydra are at least chill with him, I think they use him most for long distance calls with other Freights in other yards.

Both Momma and Poppa find him a handful with his endless energy, but they also find it useful. If he doesn't have much work to do for post that day, he is very willing to help do any little job given.

With the Coaches, I would imagine he is treat much nicer than the other Freights since humans work with him more. They do remind him not to be dozy and be polite, but they love him since he is the one who brings them their packages to keep their carriages up to date.

The Components... It's a bit of a love and hate relationship. Despite Hermes being hyper, he is just the delivery guy, he doesn't get in their way. Like the coaches, they like that he brings the packages. Which brings us onto the hate part... The coaches I imagine live closer to the Freights, so they are more used to him just speeding along and *popping* out of nowhere. It always gives them a fright... Killerwatt and Krupp like him the least.

Now onto the Racers. Rusty growing up with the Freights, he knows about Hermes and probably enjoys his company, especially if he can get his help with work. Greaseball and Electra on the other hand... I don't think they even know Hermes exists, and if they did, they would be in for a shock.

I can't say how the trucks and the other Racers would get on with him, since I don't much about them. But I hope you enjoyed this little fact file on him!

Meet my new StEx OC the Goods Van! FINISHED

Otherwise known as Billet or simply G.V for short!

Small, young, mischevious and a bit naughty but not to the extent of endangering anyone or anything. Brings fun to the yard.

Always hyper and happy. Always there when needed.

Usually hangs around with the other freight trains/cars especially Flatop and Dustin.

BONUS: CB AND GV TOGETHER....DOUBLE THE SMILES....DOUBLE THE FUN!

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

[junglefurytrash]

SURPRISE I BRING MORE SHITPOST. Originating from this long as hell orchestra carnage post

Feel like this group of StEx characters would be equivalent of this as an orchestra; PURE CHAOS AND ANARCHY ON THE SENSES!!
