nuclear power is impressive until you get up to why. "we use the most precisely engineered machinery ever created to split atoms to release energy" oh yeah how come? "boil water to turn a fan" get the fuck out

Starlight express purists when you’re not bothered about insane tricks being taken out of the show because you don’t want the actors to break their fucking bones 😡

Cowboy AU!
A huge shout out, and thank you, to @otterpinecone for having a mad yap session that resulted in this. The stuff we got brewing is fucking *mwah*.
The Diesel Force gang isn't just made up of petty horse thieves and wanna be gunslingers. It is the largest gang, comprised of branching factions across the continent. Not known for their subtly, the members of the gang are fiercely loyal to one another, more so to their head honcho, a fella by the name of Greaseball. No one knew who he was, or that he wasn't a he at all.
Orphaned at a young age due to a gang similar to the one she created, Greaseball was brought in by the town's sheriff, affectionately known as Mama. Bringing up the rambunctious girl wasn't an easy feat, and it was even harder watching her turn into the very thing that so horribly destroyed her life.
Greaseball doesn't see it that way, not at all. She's the king pin of outlaws, practically monopolising the West entirely. The Diesel Force hit hard; trains, coveted wagons, high-end banks. Nothing was too difficult, not if Greaseball had anything to say or do about it. Anything to rival the small but influential Electric Revolution.
Ruthless, arrogant, aggressive, manipulative. All words used to describe the enigma of a leader.
Until a particular red head joined the local law..

Dinah, sprinting into Belle’s room after her first date with Greaseball: SHE HELD MY HAND!!!
Belle, reaching up for a high five: Hell yeah!
Dinah, yanking her hand back: Wait don’t touch it!! Other hand!

Alright hear me out
StEx Total Drama au
#starlight express#idk this is a random thought but I do think it would be hilarious#does anyone else share these two random ass fandoms?#tbh it does seem likely#Control is Chris#I think he's like the actual host's kid making up challenges for the campers in their off-time and they just kinda go along with it#or maybe they're counselors at his summer camp playing along with his tv show game#might expand on this later idk

The thing about Starlight Express is that polyamory would’ve fixed the plot but also it would’ve made every character worse

oh but it would be totally different if dinah was the one who left her 😼
#oh the way I need to write a jealous Greaseball fic now#She would never recover#until she apologized and they made up ofc#but for the moment she would be convinced she's gonna be alone forever#starlight express#greaseball 2024
