Ok but do you think that Greaseball, Electra and CB act differently around the anniversary of the crash? Like if Greaseball just runs slower on the tracks and becomes extra clingy to Dinah. Or if Electra just is super closed off and doesn't leave their shed much and Volta is like the only one that talks to him for like a week. And if CB seems even more unpredictable, like one minute he would be extra funny and would be laughing and stuff but then the next minute he would be really quiet and closed off.

I just think that this kinda happens for the cheater guys sometimes, maybe I'll write a fix abt it

ops on the coaches las vegas outfits

While they were kinda skimpy I think they were cute actually. Since it was Vegas they tried to make them look more like show-girls so it was fitting. Dinah’s especially was a super cute design and I love it actually. I feel like those costumes tho should have just stayed in Vegas cuz that is where it is most fitting cuz of all the other shows in Vegas. But overall I just think the designs are cute <3

CB: “Is it a crime to be a silly little guy?”

Rusty: “YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!”

Ok but what does London have against CB? Is he just not allowed back or something???

Call it a hot take but I feel like StEx was never really abt diversity and inclusion like how it first started out. It was just a musical abt trains and over the years there was more diversity in the actors. I feel like as of late (starting with the 2018 update) they were like "Dang, times have sure changed we gotta do something!" and thus the change in Dinah's storyline and changing Poppa to Momma and Bobo to Coco (and having a female Rocky). These changes were just that, changes, but it didn't feel that forced it was ok. Did some ppl feel a loss because there was change sure, but still, this was a good change to be more diverse (having female engines and freight). The only thing that felt forced was making Volta male. Overall not bad but not exactly needed cuz if it is for diversity we already had Purse (oh how I miss him!) or Krupp but ehh whatever (I just will NEVER forgive Napier for the wig design NEVER)

Now here is where the take begins to heat up. Having a male coach is good I think because like in the 2018 update, it shows that certain roles (engines, freight, coaches etc...) don't have gender. Having more engines that are female is also good but like idk who they are like umm???? Are they Nationals now???? But anyway. Female Greaseball feels forced to me like you passed up having female Electra (to me that is such a CLEAR choice) that can literality be played by a man or a woman (I mean vocally since there is an official recording from the B'way concept) but we were ROBBED of that. Female Greaseball feels like forced diversity to me and I feel like forced diversity is just not helpful at all. Like if they up and said "All major characters are now going to be played by black actors!!!" Um no, that is NOT diversity (just giving an example that is more relevant to me).

I just wish they had done something like had four Rockies (bring back pink Rocky!!!) and had two male and two female or had female Electra or even have Electra be a role that is covered by both a man or a woman. This is just the hill I choose to die on because I feel really robbed here. Alas, we just gotta see how this plays out but if they make anymore "tweeks" like having Pearl and Rusty just be friends or some crap I will lose it. No issue with trains just being friends but come on this is a romance and they are the main characters, let them have their moment

I WISH they brought back Belle(fingers crossed)😭 Rusty deserves a stable two parent home

Something else I thought of was why don’t they add back Belle? Some of ya’ll are so worried about representation that you ignore the most obvious choice; Momma and Belle.

And they can still be butch and fem, if anything they have better representation of butch and fem relationships not to mention much better and healthier.

Starlight has never been a show about good representation, we all know this, and it’s not a show to handle topics like lesbian domestic violence, or emotional abuse, which Greaseball has put Dinah through canonically through all shows

(Im an avid Greasedinah shipper so don’t think im shitting on the ship)

These are sensitive topics, not to mention they would have to change a lot to the show by making Greaseball female I don’t think they fully acknowledged.

Anyways

TWO PARENT HOME FOR RUSTY 2024!!

[sweet-dining-car]

This is actually really cool and I mean I wasn’t so sure abt Greaseball’s iconic songs sung in the female vocal range for the revival but I don’t think it would be too bad I just couldn’t picture it before. Still gonna miss that sweet sweet baritone tho 😔

I'm happy this was posted recently because I couldn't remember the original video.. but... think about it!!

[sweet-dining-car]

Idk why but I just end up doom scrolling and I just feel awful now cuz I feel like it’s all my fault. Without realizing I feel like I just made things so much worse I should have just kept my mouth shut. Maybe the anon was right idk. I didn’t mean to make anyone feel bad, honestly I didn’t. I know what it is like to feel pushed out of a fandom and to be bullied and I really don’t wish that on anyone so again I am really really sorry, I didn’t mean to be such an awful person. I just genuinely feel bad and I don’t feel like I can apologize enough, I feel like I ruined everything by coming back. I am just so so sorry I really didn’t mean to hurt anyone I promise. I just feel like such a horrible person I may just delete my blog on a whole idk I feel like I need to make things right in some way. Again, I am just so so sorry I don’t know what I need to do to make things right but I am trying to take responsibility for ruining things

[sweet-dining-car]

No one is telling you that you have to leave, stop being such a dramatic crybaby. Just because you can’t freak out over a dumb ship now cuz it isn’t cishet anymore doesn’t mean you should bitch and moan all the time. And the “hyperfixation” my ass you’re just playing pretend and you just need to keep your mouth shut. Stop ruining the fandom with your homophobia and bullying that’s all people are asking for. Stay or whatever but just stop being such a crybaby and a loser

Ok so I’m not even gonna do anything anymore, I really can’t take it. This is just a fun musical abt trains that I happened to find and like, I don’t know why ppl need to be so mean. I’ve gotten others like these but I don’t even want to try to defend myself anymore. Like I said it was an honest mistake and I’m sorry. I will leave cuz I don’t want to rock the boat anymore and I just don’t think it’s good for me anymore

[sweet-dining-car]

Yeah more and more I just feel in the wrong and I don’t want to make the situation any worse cuz things are getting heated now and I don’t want to accidentally upset anyone further so yeah I think after today I’m done, I’ll probably still post on ao3 sometimes but I really don’t want to upset anyone further

Welp-

This has probably been my shortest lived return but I don’t want to annoy anyone else or make them feel uncomfortable so I guess it’s worth it. Maybe I’ll post more fix on ao3 maybe not idk. But I think that’s all for me I guess. Bye y’all

I just wanna say sorry if I am being too much or if I am being too negative, I really don’t mean to be. I just kinda threw up on my keyboard after finding out more info with the production. I don’t really feel like I have friends or anything within the fandom anymore sand I don’t know anyone irl that likes or knows abt the musical so I have nowhere to go. Not trying to find pity but I’m just trying to give an explanation.

Again, very sorry if I made anyone feel uncomfortable or if I made them feel bad, I really didn’t mean to. I probably just won’t really come back then just so then I don’t make anyone feel any worse

#I just don’t mean to make anyone upset or anything #I don’t have anyone to talk to this abt and I just tend to goon and on abt things that I hyperfixate on even when I try not to #I am really sorry tho abt everything #I don’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable or annoyed by me that they think they have to leave #I have had to leave the fandom twice for my own reasons and I don’t want anyone to feel like that because it feels awful #I think I’ll probably just leave again so that no one else has to
