Heads Up Seven Up

Tagged by fantastic and talented friend @pertinax--loculos! Sometimes I play it fast and loose with the selections for these, but these are my actual last seven lines I edited. 😘

The Insuppressible Electra Ray // Electra POV

She let the kid go, the false form melting off her like candle wax. Her own magic surged back in its wake, a volcano exploding in reverse. It was her body, seething with purpose and power, that rose back up in the gloom of the cave.  “Hey,” said the voice behind her. “Can you hear me, kid?”  Sorry, stupid old Professor Dig - no kids here.  She uncoiled her magic and struck.

This post is to both summarize every character I’ve designed but also be a quick reference for a fic I’m writing. I’m so glad I’m finally done with drawing all of these.

TW FOR ANIMAL DEATH

Juice lore + some sketches hehe

Also a brief explanation of my Electra under the cut

Electra has grown tired of the dull future they have been forced to sit through. The predictability of death at the end of natural life. It is through this that they have decided that if they cannot wait for the future, they will bring the future to the world.

Their goal in the current story of starlight express is to convert everything and everyone to electricity, even if it is by force. Disguising this insane plan behind the concept of “evolution.”

Their aim in my stex rewrite is to show everyone just how good electricity can be by winning the championship race. (Lol that doesn’t happen though)

Juice is unfortunately caught in the crossfire, as a component he will soon be responsible for the entire extinction of human kind. But he’s grown fond of nature and all that inhabits it. What will he dooooo? Hmmmmmmm.

Tagged for my favorite game by @space-writes!!! This is good - I know I haven't been posting a lot lately. I don't know why, honestly. I think I have been way overthinking what is "postable," as it were. I'm gonna start posting more often without worrying about making the post an entire... thing.

ANYWAYS :D

family

gay bdsm crime story // Octavius POV

“Mr. Sinclair, what a pleasure!” “Octavius, please,” he says, returning the handshake and tactfully ignoring the way the man nearly toppled his chair to greet him. “I’m sorry I haven’t had the chance to meet you sooner. You’ve been on the job, what, two weeks already?” Russell waves him off emphatically. “Don’t be absurd. There’s been a death in the, um.” “Family,” he supplies. “It’s quite alright to say as much. Families come in all different shapes and sizes, you know, and Eddie always considered me a member of his.” “He was a great man,” Russell nods.  Eddie was an asshole. “The greatest of men, God rest his soul. But I’m here to talk about you, Mister Harmon, and your bright future here at Bedford and Clarke. May we sit?”

dread

The Insuppressible Electra Ray // Grace POV

“Simon,” said a lady who appeared behind her, and Grace startled at the use of the headmaster’s first name. “All the MEAB paperwork’s done, but it took my team so long to fill out, they didn’t actually get to finish all the ward work.”  A beautiful black and white dog waited patiently at the lady’s side, wearing something that reminded Grace of a horse’s saddle. Service dog, the side of the thing said, do not pet. The lady’s belt jangled with keys - gold and bronze and silver ones, big and small, plain and ornate. She bore a thick folder in her arms and the headmaster eyed it with dread, devastated by the presence of the papers in the way only grown-ups could be. 

start

The Insuppressible Electra Ray // Simon POV

He resisted the urge to remove his tie, pull at his neckline. He was too hot. His head was starting to pound. They were saying she’d plead guilty, but they didn’t know.  A different door opened, this time in the back, and everybody twisted to see. Camera flashes fired and popped, and a hushed murmur trickled over the room. Two officers came through the door, stern-looking men in uniform, and in between them, Electra.  It was almost funny, how small she looked. They each held one of her arms, handcuffs glinting from her wrists, her heels clacking sharply against the marble. Her hair, still blazing red, hung straight down and shifted over her shoulders as she moved, just like he remembered it.  He used to sit on the couch with her, their knees bumping. One time she had soot on the side of her nose from a spell gone awry and he’d licked his thumb and wiped it off without even thinking twice. A weird thing to do but it hadn’t felt weird at the time. It had always been easy for some reason: to just reach out and touch her.  Now there was this: clinking cuffs and grim-faced guards with guns and the entire legal system and the weight of dead years in between them, and even though they’d walked her right past him, no one had ever been farther away. 

fast (x2)

gay bdsm crime story // Milo POV

“Chill out.” “I’ll do my best,” Octavius says lightly, making room for the salad bowl on their small table. “Perhaps I’d find it easier to relax if I wasn’t cohabiting with an insane person.” Meg is fast but Octavius is faster; he catches her wrist before her open hand reaches his face. The salad bowl wobbles to a theatrical stop. “First one’s free,” he says, the two of them frozen in place. “Raise a hand against me again and I’ll cut it off.” “Fine. Call me insane again and I’ll shit in your Oxfords.” “That’s enough,” Milo shouts, slamming his hands against the table for emphasis. “God. We’re not cutting off any limbs in this house or, or shitting in anyone’s shoes. Now sit your asses down, we’re gonna have a nice dinner.” Their glares turn sharply on him. He sets his jaw. “What? I’m not afraid of either one of you. I said, sit.”

Rusty after having a really bad day: Sometimes I wish I were more like Electra >:(

Rusty's dream that night:

[kibbull]

I’ve fallen down the Starlight Express rabbit hole so here are some sketch concepts I made for Component OCs

Conduit is based on a coil truck and Fuse is based on an autorack. They might not be the most practical choices but I swear I have reasoning for them lol

These are based on the Wembley production but I honestly might make design variations for the post-2018 Bochum production too. The makeup designs in the first two images are also still definitely a work in progress, but I’m pretty happy with them. Might change them when finalizing designs though

[smthwckd]

the disease has infected me, i designed a component oc

his name is blitz, and he’s based off a sulfuric acid tanker car, which might change later idk my number one reasoning is that i thought a battery vibe would be cool and he will in fact spit acid at you

his design was mostly influenced by david bowie and david from the lost boys (his name should be david atp) and just glamrock in general

personality wise he is very energetic and good for hyping up electra and the rest of the components, he probably drinks monster energy for every meal and is the personification of that one dwayne johnson song. he is also definitely a fan of daft punk.

that’s pretty much all i got going for him as of now! all my drawings of him are just rough sketches cause i haven’t fully settled on a design yet

(more doodles under the cut!)
