StEx Appreciation Month Day Seventeen and Eighteen: The Cabeese (Pre/Post 2018)!
Tumblr media
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 Appreciation Month Day 3: Greaseball
Tumblr media
Today I've drawn @gb-diesellok ! (rather than a Greaseball design from the show)
GB is so cool ermmm he is awesome. The more bootlegs I watch, the more I like him. His entrance in Pumping Iron where he comes all the way down onto the stage and the coaches go wild and Electra is nottt happy about it... He just has so much swag.
His costume is one of my favourites in the show + it's barely changed over the years because it was perfect to begin with.
I'm pretty sure everyone likes Greaseball, and the people who say they don't like him are lying to themselves.

STEX Appreciation Month Day 5: Electra
Favorite Actors: KOFFI MISSAH, David Michael Johnson, Leon Maurice-Jones
Favorite Songs/Scenes: Love seeing him groove during Wide Smile, esp when the handshake was there. Also Dinah's Disco, my boy was throwing a hissy fit
Favorite Costumes: His London costumes with the lightning bolts is elite but Bochum has also consistently had great costumes for him!!! Especially early bochum when his wig had the side swoop??? immaculate
Favorite Ship: Electraboose my beloved <3333 theyre insane <333 they turn my brain to goo <3333
Headcanon: Electra acts really cold and bitchy because he's allergic to being genuine and expressing how he feels. deep deep down he is a huge softie but Dont tell anyone or he'll destroy you
Unpopular Opinion: There is a very fine line between me loving AC/DC and just not enjoying it at all.

Finally after so long, my self-insert design of my persona for the STEX world is done! Meet Rock’n Razor aka [[REDACTED]] only GB and her close friends only know her name. I’m sure it’s obvious who her special someone is Greaseball
And here is some facts about her
•She’s much shorter then GB, he puts his arm on her head as a armrest just to mess with her (he knows it pisses her off)
•They both love food, so picking off each others plates is very common
•They wrestle each other a lot…She loses most of the time
•GB is obviously the Dominant one, however she tries to put herself as the dominant one but it never works…it’s fine but she likes it
•GB has to Carry Razor away because her and CB fight over the smallest things. Sure GB can be aggressive but sometimes Razor can be a literal train wreck when pushed enough. So insert him skating away with a thrashing female making gremlin sounds
•She’s lazy so he has to wake her up
So yeah, this is my self insert and I’m so proud of it. I loved self shipping and it’s a huge form of comfort. If you don’t like it then please direct yourself somewhere else as I don’t have time to deal with hate.
But yes thank you to those who have liked and reblogged the last post! I see them all and appreciate all ❤️❤️ I have some drawings of her and GB being worked on to

StEx Appreciation Month day 29: Favourite character(s)
Elec/ktra!!!!
Oh how I love them <3 Non binary, bisexual, so cool in the 80's! So forward-thinking!
A diva, a mean bad bitch <3 The most beautiful creature in the universe! AC/DC was the first song I heard and I swear it was a surreal experience listening to it at 1 am in my bed in the dark. It was and still is my favourite StEx-song!
They mean so much to me...I love how they're so femme but everyone refers to them with he/him, personally that's so cool. Non binary is a spectrum and he can use he/him but still be the most barbie of girls!! I love writing them and I love drawing them,,,,I've soon been a fan of Stex for 3 years and my art has improved so much only by drawing a horse-train sbdghsghdgd
And yes, for those of you who dont know, I call them horses because they are long, nervous, bitchy, fast and dramatic. Just like a race horse, I don't make the rules

StEx Appreciation Month Day Five: Electra/Elektra!
Tumblr media
My beloveds, beautiful majestic creatures 💙❤️
Favorite Songs/Moments: AC/DC of course, No Comeback, the little meltdowns during Pumping Iron and Dinah's Disco and the few fleeting Beelektra moments during the MegaMixes
Favorite Costume: I like the early Bochum costumes for Electra, and Elektra's only had one costume but the LED panels and wig are cool
Favorite Ships: For Electra, Electronents and Greased Lightning. For Elektra, Beelektra and Frozen Lightning
I don't think I have any unpopular opinions so here is a random headcanon instead: Electra and Elektra are half-siblings and they're constantly squabbling about who stole who's diva persona
