₊✩‧₊ Welcome aboard ₊✩‧₊

Finally went to see Starlight Express last night and I’m obsessed.

race paint scheme concept for rusty and pearl as a team!! definitely not finalized but we'll see which direction these go

STEX APPRECIATION MONTH DAY 2: PEARL

Favorite Actor(s): Stephanie Lawrence, Reva Rice, Lovette George

Favorite Song/Scenes: OLC He Whistled At Me i love you and miss you every day. Also love the versions of the love ballads where Pearl has a solo first where she reflects on her relationship with Rusty <3

Favorite Costume(s): OLC PEARL FOREVER AND EVER. She was so poofy and princessy and I will always love the pink white and silver combo!! However the big curly wigs of late london and 2010s bochum will always slay

Favorite Ships/Friendships: Fav romantic ship is ofc prusty I LOVE them. As for friendships I always love to see her with any of the other coaches. I can't really see her being super close with any of the freight or even components tbh. I see her keeping her circle of close friends pretty small post-canon

Headcanons: While Pearl IS the youngest of the coaches she isn't brand new to the yard she's been there for a bit. She is the newest and most well-kept of the coaches though. I think she's cold all the time because she's air conditioned (which makes Rusty the perfect cuddle partner, he's always hot due to his boiler)

STEX APPRECIATION DAY 3: GREASEBALL

Favorite Actor(s): Carlos Gastelum, Nigel Casey, Ernest Marchain, Michael Quinn

Favorite Song/Scenes: Pumping Iron!! Especially the dance break which is one of my fave scenes in all of stex honestly it's just so fun

Favorite Costume(s): OLC Greaseball served like no one else has ever served. I'm also very fond of broadway GB and his yellow wheels

Favorite Ships/Friendships: I don't ship Greaseball with anyone because everyone should stay away from him

Headcanons: Greaseball used to win races fair and square but as the fear of his obsolescence and desire to keep his power kicked in he started cheating to secure his place. The race we see in canon is sort of the peak of how egregious his cheating is because he felt genuinely threatened by the competition
