StEx Appreciation Month Day Seventeen: Pre-2018 Caboose
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
CB
Favorite Actor: Kapa Kitchen, Hans Johansson, Micheal Staniforth, Mikey Eborall, Anthony Kirwan, Oliver Rhoe Thornton, Todd Lester
Favorite Song/Scene: wiDE SMILE- Oh, so good. I love Kapa’s little squirrel laugh, I could listen to the ‘89 recording all day (I think it’s still my ringtone)
Favorite Costume: As much as I love and appreciate the commentary with the OG trucker look, I am a SLUT for the toy soldier look. It is IMMACULATE and probably one of the most well designed looks in the entire history of the show. And he looks cute <3 
Favorite Ship: Rusted Brakes, Electraboose, Dinahboose 
Headcanon: He has strawberry blonde, curly hair, freckles, and a tooth gap : ) He used to not be able to pronounce his R’s as a kid, due to a speech impediment, but it hardly ever flares up now. 
Unpopular Opinion: He really isn’t a clown, that’s just what the toy soldier/doll makeup looks like pfpfpf

Starlight Express Appreciation Month!
Day 2: Pearl and Opal
Tumblr media
PEARL
Favorite actresses: Stephanie Lawrence, Reva Rice, Nikki Belsher, and Lovette George 💕
Favorite song: A Lotta Locomotion, He Whistled at Me, Only He/Only You, Make up my Heart.
Favorite costume: OLC, Broadway, and the one used in the Johannesburg production! She had some neat steampunk/Cancan dancer vibes.
Favorite ship: Prusty the whole life!!
Headcanon: Pearl is trans (Brand new girl) and has a collection of perfume bottles. Her favourite is called "Eau d'Orleáns".
Unpopular opinion: Her costume is better when she gets the fluffy pink wig. Also, the Las Vegas costume must be hidden in a closet and never taken out again.
OPAL
Favorite actresses: Georgina Hagen
Favorite song: Für Immer
Favorite costume: The post-2018 costume is simple, but cute.
Favorite ship: Post-2018 Prusty, lowkey Pearl/CoCo
Headcanon: Opal is Pearl's younger half-sister, from their mother's side. Their mother is named Crystal.
Unpopular opinion: Making the costume completely white, while using lighting that costs thousands of euros, can be considered a bad choice, as the light gets reflected a bit too much. Perhaps the costume department should have chosen a cream/champagne color instead.

Happy Starlight Express Appreciation Month!
Day 2: Pearl the First Class/Observation Carriage
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lovette George in the first picture. Reva Rice in the second picture.
Favorite Actor: Lovette George, Reva Rice, Trina Hill, Georgina Hagen
Face claim: Lovette George
Favorite Song/Scene: Only He OLC
Favorite Costume: The New Starlight Express, Japan/Australia Tour, Bochum
Favorite Ship: Prusty all the way!
Headcanon: Multiple actually!
Because she's a first class car, she feels a bit of pressure to be perfect and clean all the time, but Rusty shows her that imperfection is okay sometimes.
She totally arm-wrestles with the Rockies.
I think that she would be good friends with GB and Electra after everything with the races is sorted out.
I know her dream train is canonically a male, but I like to imagine that as long as the whistle matches, she could care less if the gender matches or not. As long as you've got the right whistle. 💖💛💙
Unpopular Opinion: I don't care for her pre-2018 characterization. Her OLC characterization with her waiting for her dream train explains why she kept switching trains and didn't truly dedicate herself to Rusty, GB, and Electra. None of them were her dream train, until Rusty is revealed to be it later. In productions post-OLC, her dream train isn't as prominent (or flat-out doesn't exist like on Broadway) and her indecisiveness isn't because she's waiting for the right train to come along. She just is. Which just isn't as interesting, in my opinion.

@catofstarlight, this one's for you!
Happy Starlight Express Appreciation Month!
Day 17: C.B. the Red Caboose
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Craig Perry in the first picture, Thierry Gondet in the second picture, Oliver Rhoe Thorton in the fourth picture, Ben Draper in the fifth picture, and Kapa Kitchen in the sixth picture.
Favorite Actor: Kapa Kitchen, Todd Lester, Michael Eborall, Ben Draper, Dan Ellison, Oliver Rhoe Thorton
Face Claim: Thierry Gondet, Oliver Rhoe Thorton
Favorite Song/Scene: There's Me
Favorite Costume: Broadway, Bochum
Favorite Ship: Dinahboose
Headcanon: He has a pet axolotol.
Unpopular Opinion: I don't like it when he's portrayed as just plain crazy. When There's Me was cut from the show, it did an incredible disservice to his character, and I wish that he could be a complex character again. Don't get me wrong, CB being a Chaos Gremlin is fine, but it's just not as interesting.

Starlight Express Appreciation Month!
DAY 1: Electra/Elektra
Tumblr media
ELECTRA
Favorite actor: Koffi Missah and Mykal Rand
Favorite song: AC/DC, and No Comeback.
Favorite costume: OLC, and Bochum 2006
Favorite ship: Electra/Volta, Electraboose, OLC Electraboose (or Spagratti, as it's called)
Headcanon: Electra carries with them a portable solar panel, to recharge their battery in case of no electric outlet nearby.
Unpopular opinion: none, i guess? If we don't count the fact that more actors of color needed to play this role...
ELEKTRA
Favorite actor: Adam Lake
Favorite song: AC/DC
Favorite costume: the one where the wig changes color!
Favorite ship: Post-2018 Electraboose (Or Beelektra)
Headcanon: They're albino, and their true name is Silver Blitz.
Unpopular opinion: This version is what can be described as "Apple Futurism": minimalistic, with neutral colors, and a slight lack of what makes the character themselves. Neverthless, it's still a nice version.
