📂📂📂📂 four :)

Four Rat headcanons coming your way 😌

- Nobody exactly understands how Rat and Dinah became friends. He was trying to suck up to Greaseball, met her, and suddenly they were pretty much besties. Apart from Electra she’s the only person he shows more of himself than his cheeky smile.

- Secretly Purse is also attracted to his dilfness. Electra doesn’t know this, but Rat does, and uses it.

- He is often not allowed to play along when the rest of the freight is playing cards, because if he does he wins so hard that everybody knows he’s just blatantly cheating. The problem is that nobody has ever been able to catch him in the act.

- His perfect day would consist of him tinkering with old radios (trying to expand their reception to illegal proportions) with a plate of Dinah’s cookies within reach and Electra occasionally running a hand through his hair and over his back and waist. (Ending of course in him succumbing to it.)

StEx Appreciation Month Day Seventeen and Eighteen: The Cabeese (Pre/Post 2018)!

Does anyone remember draw your squad memes? Anyway, I'm cramming all three of these guys below the cut.

OLC! Caboose

Love this funky guy!

Favorite Songs/Moments: C.B. is hands down the funkiest song on the OLC! Album and Michael Staniforth was absolutely incredible!! I also love his verses in Freight, especially the way he says 'Hello!' He sounds like such a goober!

Favorite Costume: I think there's just the one, but I love it! You go Mr. Baseball-Playing-Trucker-Man!

Favorite Ships: I don't actively ship him with anyone but I don't mind OLC! Electraboose

Unpopular opinions: I don't think I have any

CB the Red Caboose

He's just a silly fun-time boy!

Favorite Songs/Moments: Wide Smile, the handshake bit with Electra during Wide Smile, taunting Rusty. There's one boot where he kicks Rusty in the face after crashing him and I don't know why but it's actually so funny (poor Rusty though!) Can we also get some appreciation for Todd Lester's splits! And Hans Johansson's dancing/acrobatics!

Favorite Costume: It's stayed pretty consistent, but why change it when it's already perfect!

Favorite Ships: I don't ship him with anyone, I actually hc him as aromantic (though I am partial to Idiot Sandwich purely for shits and giggles)

Unpopular opinions: I don't like the version of Wide Smile with the pop culture references at the beginning, it just kinda breaks my immersion

BV the Break Van

The bastard weasel man (affectionate)!

Favorite Songs/Moments: Mein Spiel! I'm glad he gets his own time to shine during the MegaMix! Watching him sneak around and negotiate with GB and Elektra is so fun! He's also great during Pumping Iron

Favorite Costume: There's only been one, but two-tone glove supremacy!!

Favorite Ships: Beelektra and Carriebee

Unpopular opinions: I love him! And I think he fits better contextually with the updated show

StEx is supposed to be either Control's dream or a game on his toy railway but I choose to ignore that because it is infinitely more fun seeing them as real trains

#control says 'all change to racing mode' in the OLC album and I ran with that #real trains more interesting than toy story: train edition imo #stex #starlight express

#I’m sorry if I missed some fan favorite iteration of caboose #I’m new to the fandom and I’ve only listened to the olc recording in full #I’ve only listened to a bit of the new starlight express and that one doesn’t even have caboose :[ #anyways I’m torn between cb and toy caboose because I like toy caboose’s design but cb’s name and his use of cb radio slang #I don’t care much for bv tbh #mostly cuz i don’t like how they removed all traces of there’s me #but maybe I just need to properly see him in action #his design is cool tho #starlight express #stex cb #stex caboose #stex bv

“I wish I could’ve seen them... I’m sure they were amazing,” I say dramatically, like an eccentric movie villain, talking about the original cast of Starlight Express performing Starlight Express.
