Headcanons on how StEx characters would react if you give them an energy drink:
Pearl: pretends to not like drinking that kind of stuff but actually enjoys it
Greaseball: pretends to handle the caffeine quite well but throws up when no one is looking
Rusty: he'd either be hyper af (like a kid that ate too much sugar) and a bit sassier or cries his eyes out
Poppa/mama: starts using caffeine to compensate everyday life (just like most adults)
Flattop: he's almost caffeine resistant and even feels sleepy
Caboose (CB and AV): gets hyperactive af and goes feral (there might also be the risk of him stabbing someone with random pointy objects)
Canoose (BV): gets super confident first but has a mental breakdown as soon as the caffeine is broken down by the body
Dustin: takes one sip, finds it disgusting and touches that can never again
The rockies: battle eachother who can drink the most cans
Electra: zaps uncontrollably
Elektra: claims that he can handle that bit of caffeine but shuts down after half a can
Components: are too worried about Elektras condition to feel any difference
Dinah: giggles constantly
Belle (sleeping car): feels more youthful than everyone else
Ashley: she'd probably be very chatty and uses the can as an ashtray
Trax: feel happy and serene for once in their life
Control: gives his parents a hard time

Cherry blossom for Carriebee? :)
Adore these two! Thank you for this ask, Mara!
Cherry Blossom: Who takes the longest to get ready for a date?
I mean, I think we both know the answer to this question, right?
BV doesn't take excruciatingly long or anything, but he's a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to Carrie. He just wants to make sure everything is perfect because he feels Carrie deserves nothing but perfection. Thus, it takes him a bit longer to prepare himself.
Carrie doesn't feel that perfection is necessary so she dresses a bit more casually and gently makes fun of BV for being so fancy for a casual coffee date. But she does think it's very sweet that he goes all out for her.

BVs costume is pretty decent, actually: the post
Disclaimer: I'm not actually a professional, but I do like to think I'm not completely clueless. Also, I haven't written analysis like this in literal years.
Anyway, analysis below the cut
Some notes about his color:
-The color of his costume is a really good question. Depending on the lighting he can look purple or blue or even black. Color picking a neutral value in neutral lighting puts his base color right in the middle of blue and purple.
-However, I like him being blue more, so I’ll refer to him as blue.
-It really doesn’t matter though, as his base color really is best described as either a bluish-purple or a purplish-blue.
Anyway, let's get right into the analysis.
Overall, the goal of changing BVs design was to make him look more like a smooth talking gangster, and all of my points are about how his design achieves this goal. I’m not here to compare him to CBs costume, they’re trying to communicate totally different things, and comparing them wouldn’t really achieve much. (But just fyi, CBs costume really is just, *chefs kiss*, perfect little clown boy)
His color really is the most obvious thing about him. For a red caboose he sure doesn’t have a lot of red. Sure, but the change in base color is just strengthening his personality. The darker color makes him stand out less, fitting his more shady personality, and the blue makes sure that his red pieces and pinstripes still pop.
See how the stripes pop against the blue better compared to the red, even though they’re the same value?
And the stripes. The stripes have gone from just representing wood panels, to looking more like actual pinstripes, with the dark base and lighter stripes. This reinforces the idea that he’s more of a gangster, more specifically the smooth talking kind.
The red in the red caboose is now mainly limited to his hat, shoulder pieces, chest piece, gloves and shoes. Most of his red being near his face guides the eyes towards it, making his face stand out even without flashy makeup. His gloves and shoes could have been black, but I think them being red brings a nice balance (and his red shoes do look rather dapper!).
The shoulder pieces don’t resemble a caboose shape in the slightest, but Starlight Express isn’t too concerned with accuracy to real life. And neither am I, as long as it serves a good purpose. Trapezoidal shoulder pieces are sleek, and remind me of the padded shoulders of certain zoot suits, once again reinforcing the gangster theme. And, from the back, especially at an angle, the pieces form a sleek caboose shape.
His hat can look a bit goofy I admit, but it does heavily depend on who is wearing it. Dan has a tendency to pull it down a bit too much, with no skew (though this could possibly be just his hat not fitting too well because it’s damaged). Thankfully most other actors wear it better, making the hat look less goofy.
(L -> R: Dan Ellison, Gary Sheridan, Tom Nihill, Kai Cameron-Jay and Darius James)
And still speaking about the hat, while the shape isn't quite like a regular caboose cupola, it is pretty close to a more tapered design seen in some Pennsylvania Railroad cabooses!
Now, for some actual complaints.
-His design is actually a bit empty? I wish he had something more going on, but I have no idea what you could even add.
-His chestpiece looks kinda goofy ngl. But again, I’m not sure what could replace it. A chest box perhaps? Though I have my own personal reasons for not wanting him to have one…
-I wish he had some more silver in him. Perhaps some necklaces attached to his scarf?
-Speaking of, the scarf doesn’t quite fit the theme. Maybe making the costume look more like a suit and making the scarf a high collar instead could work? That’s something for me to ponder about later...
And I think I’ve ran out of juice! Thank you for reading this quick analysis of his costume! Discussion, comments and questions are welcome :)
