Starlight Express - Tumblr Posts
You might not like it, it might even make you cry to learn this information, but this is what Electra really looks like without the mohawk wig, his makeup, and the rest of his outer paneling.

back with my shit and decided to drop this to traumatize you all (including me- I’m very sorry)
Song: Eyes without a face - Billy Idol (slowed)
Audio: Good Omens
y’all I’m fucking desperate for friends in the Starlight Express fandom like
I got no one to talk to about it 🫡

art trade piece for @nauticaltrainofthe80s !! i was sooo thrilled that i got to draw this gorgeous design (and as always go check out their art if you haven't already--they're one of my favorite artists :])
(cropped ver and bonus art below cut)


love how y’all just rise from the death for the London revival
(It’s understandable tho)
I’m not someone that draws but communication is one of the most boring classes in college so I created something

look at the babiessssss
(ignore that they don’t have arms I can’t draw arms- anatomy is weird as fuck)
How do you fight artblock?
That's right!

With anthropomorphic trains!
My dear friend dragged me into this and it's been consuming me like quicksand. Sooo maybe I'll post a little more Starlight Express content in the future.
Rusty finally snaps and punches Greaseball after the shit he did.
Which [ONE] headcanon of yours would you add to StEx 2024 if you could?
And how would it be implied/presented in the show?
Max Verstappen coming to destroy my stex obsession the last couple of months:
Liking a musical about racing trains and Formula One at the same time just destroys my mind
do you think the Vegas coaches costumes are innapropirate
They were a bit (a lot) much in all honesty and there definitely ain’t no way someone is gonna find a way to explain why they choose these kind of costumes for a musical kids actually were supposed to see.
But it’s in the past and we sadly can’t travel into back in time to talk some sense into the costume designers.
We all could write a book about this though cause the line has been crossed a couple of times with this kinda stuff in general 💀
Especially looking at you ‘a lotta locomotion’ 🤨
Do you think bald Electra worked (John partridge)
HELP WHERE DO YOU ALL COME FROM ALL OF THE SUDDEN 😭😭
also bald people scare me that’s all ima say (I’m scared it’s gonna happen to me too)
How often does Electra need to change his battery to get through the races?
Idk how often does a Tesla truck need to get charged???💀💀
Three Heads is such an interesting song with dark implications,
Simultaneously it sounds like garbage and I'm so glad we have One Rock and Roll to Many
Engine of Love is so cute actually and it's objectively hilarious that Webber was going to figure out somewhere to shoe horn that in because "damn it he worked hard!"
Ironic that Rusty is the supposedly weaker engine but Control sends Rusty to collect the Freight Train and not Greaseball.

This is now my 1988 Stex live post
Greaseball is so comedically evil
If we're lucky, today is the day I complete my Starlight Express model freight cars set, and the day I get Electra the Eletric Engine's full model set
