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

2023's StEx Appreciation Month!

Day 5: Electra the Electric Engine

Anthony T. Perry in the first picture, Andreas Wolfram in the second and fifth pictures, Matthew McKenna in the third picture, and Leon Maurice-Jones in the fourth picture.

Favorite Actor(s): Jeffrey Daniel (Original London cast, 1984-1985), Mykal Rand (multiple productions from 1989 to 2015), Jaime Rojas (Mexico, 1997-1998), Anthony Frazer (Bochum, 2001-02, swing), Richard Woodford (Bochum, 2016-2018), and Liam Tamme (2017 Off-West End Workshop).

Face Claim/Voice Claim: Leon Maurice-Jones with Andreas Wolfram's 2007-2011 wig (face), Mykal Rand (voice)

Favorite Song(s)/Scene(s): AC/DC and No Comeback

Favorite Costume(s): Broadway/pre-2018 Bochum costume!

Favorite Ship(s): Frozen Lightning (Electra x Volta), Electronents (Electra x Components), and while I'm not crazy over it, I have a soft spot for Electraboose.

Headcanon: Because of the heart monitor on his chest, Electra pretty much can't lie, because his heart rate will give away if he's being honest or not.

Unpopular Opinion: Electra is canonically genderfluid so the idea of just making him exclsuively female or feminine presenting takes that aspect away from him. Same with making him exclusively male or masculine presenting. Electra's supposed to be all over the gender spectrum, you know? /lh /nm

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.

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 11: Belle 💤

Janet Williams-Adderley (Broadway 1987, first cast)

that’s my gal

Favourite Actor: Janet Williams-Adderley I guess

Favourite Songs/Scenes: I loveee Belle’s Song, but also Belle (Reprise), Hey You! (The Rap) and Light (omg it’s all so amazing aaa)

Favourite Costume: Broadway of course 🥀

Favourite Ships: Belle × Poppa I guess

Unpopular Opinions: sooo many - I would love to have her back. I imagine her singing I got me in Act 2. Also I would have loved to have her in the original Bochum production. Imagine her song in German aaaa - she would probably race with Poppa/Momma in Race 2

i don’t wanna stop talking about her :(

StEx Appreciation Month Day 27: Gang/Trax

Favourite Actors Gang: I don’t have any specific favourites but I think they’re all great! Trax: I like Nils Rinas as Joey Egan!

Favourite Songs/Scenes Gang: I like watching them in Rolling Stock! Trax: Honestly, just anytime they do cool tricks! I love watching them!

Favourite Costumes Gang: The current ones without the flag <3 Trax: I love the Bochum ones!

Favourite Ships I don’t think I actively ship anything, unfortunately but I’m not against shipping them with anyone. Just not put any thought into it.

Headcanons Gang: I like to think that the gang members and Greaseball all met in high school! Trax: They used to watch the championships when they were little and since then, they’ve always wanted to become a part of racing in some way!

Unpopular Opinions Gang: I don’t think I have any? Trax: I’ve seen people say that the show works just as well if they aren’t there. I’ve seen the show before where they had cut the Trax because none of them were available and I missed them so much!

Photo 1: David Tort, Fernando Barrios, Bernardo Espinoza as Gang - Mexico 1997. Photo 2: Jeremy Suarez as Trax - Bochum 2018. Photo 3: Bobby Collins, Drue Williams, Mark Davis as Gang - London 1984. Photo 4: Manuel Reckow & Etienne Vogel as Trax - Bochum 2018. Photo 5: Bethany Perry & Jake Bishop as Gang - Bochum 2023. Photo 6: Nils Rinas as Trax - Bochum 2022.

StEx Appreciation Month Day Five: Electra/Elektra!

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

2023's StEx Appreciation Month!

Day 17: C.B. the Red Caboose!

Thierry Gondet in the first picture, Oliver Rhoe Thornton in the second picture, Kapa Kitchen in the third picture, and Craig Perry in the fourth picture.

Favorite Actor: Todd Lester (Broadway, 1988-1989), Kapa Kitchen (Bochum, 1996-1998), Oliver Rhoe Thornton (Bochum, 2001-2002), Ben Draper (Bochum, 2008-2010), Michael Eborall (Bochum, 2013-2015, swing), Andrew Prosser (Bochum, 2013-2016), and Dan Ellison (Bochum, 2016-2018).

Face Claim/Voice Claim: Thierry Gondet (with a skin tone similar to Kapa's) (face) and Kapa Kitchen (voice)

Favorite Song(s)/Scene(s): There's Me and Wide Smile

Favorite Costume: The only real option since this is specifically toy solidier CB skhdjkhg: Broadway/pre-2018 Bochum.

Favorite Ship(s): My all-time favorite CB ship is DinahBoose (Dinah x CB)! But I also think CB x Joule is super cute! I also really love Ice Braker (CB x Volta)!

Headcanon: He's totally pan in some way. While he only actually wants to be in a relationship with [insert name of whoever you ship him with here], he will not deny that he finds about 90% of the yard, regardless of gender, very pretty.

Unpopular Opinion: I'm not actually all too big a fan of the Rusted Brakes (Rusty x CB) ship.
