STEX APPRECIATION MONTH DAY 14: DUSTIN

Favorite Actor(s): Gavin Ashbarry is the ONLY Dustin and I am not exaggerating.

Favorite Song/Scenes: Rusty And Dustin is such a cute scene eeeee. Also love how shy he is during his intro in Freight

Favorite Costume(s): Broadway and Japan/Aus since his makeup there is Not Scary as opposed to Bochum which for decades insisted on giving him the scariest makeup ever. At least the 2018 update fixed him <3

Favorite Ships/Friendships: I don't ship him with anyone since I see him as aro/ace! His closest friends are Rusty, Flat Top, and CB!!!

Headcanons: Dustin collects cool rocks he finds by the tracks on the freight routes. He keeps them lined up in his section of the shed :)

Unpopular Opinion: I don't think this is unpopular but oh my god they NEED to stop hiring the tiniest little twig men and sticking them in fat suits. I feel like especially the latest Bochum casts have been getting the guys with the thinnest faces ever it's so creepy. Just get some fat guys to play him Please.

StEx Appreciation Month Day 14: Dustin!

🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨🪨

Face Claim: Gavin Ashbarry (Shout out to Ben Lancaster, he also made a really cute Dustin!)

Favourite Song/Scenes: Freight (Aggregates are really great!! :D), Momma/Poppa's Blues, OLC album Rap when he stands up for Rusty, when he stays behind with Flat Top to give Rusty his helmet back, and his little moment with Rusty after the Starlight Sequence! He's such a loyal friend 🥺

Favourite Costumes: Broadway/Bochum! I really like Jesse Adams' makeup for Dustin. It's got heavier detailing but doesn't read as evil clown like some other Dustins...

Favourite Ships/Friendships: Dustin x Flat Top, Dustin x Rusty. Best friends with Flat Top and Rusty!!! He's friends with the freight crew, Poppa/Momma, and the coaches-- he pretty much gets along well with everyone in the yard (although I think it would be kind of funny if he secretly gets a little jealous when Rusty hangs out with Hydra)

Headcanons: Dustin taught the rest of the freight crew how to play the mouth organ so they can take turns playing while Momma/Poppa sing

Unpopular Opinion: Out of all the characters cut from the revival, I miss Dustin the most :’(

Starlight Express Appreciation Month Day 15: Dustin

Favorite Actor(s): Big fan of Michael Scott Gregory!! But also huge shout out to Gavin Ashbarry. I’ve never seen his performance I’m just glad they cast a Not Skinny person as Dustin

Favorite Song/Scene(s): He’s soo cute after the Starlight Sequence!! Also in Freight and during Race Four!!!!!!

Favorite Costume: Probs Broadway and the subsequent tours!! I like when Dustin’s makeup is softer because his current makeup look very easily goes into terrifying territory.

Headcanon: Dustin has dealt with social anxiety his whole life. The freight help him through it :)

Unpopular Opinion: Dustin is a perfect and beautiful boy with no flaws and if u hate him i hate u goodnight everybody

StEx Appreciation Month: Dustin

favorite song the character is in: I’m gonna say the OG Rap because I love his parts in that. The “Rusty and Dustin” exchange has big rights, too.

favorite actor for this character: Oh I love that Dustin from the Broadway bootleg SO much, but I’m not sure who he is...Keith Allen, maybe?? Also, gotta shout out Gary Love and Gavin Ashbarry!

favorite ship with this character: Unironically Dewey(@tensevengonetoheaven​‘s OC)/Dustin alksfls. But also, Rusty/Dustin is great and doesn’t get enough attention.

favorite thing about this character: He’s so shy and sweet!

random headcanon: He gets some residual powers from seeing the Starlight Express in his dreams. Not as much or even necessarily the same kind of powers as Rusty but he gets something for sure! I imagine them to be empathetic powers.

unpopular opinion: Struggling to think of any....definitely agree that he needs to be played by more fat actors, if not fat actors exclusively.

favorite picture: Watermarked because I swiped it off eBay but look at how precious he is

[aggregatesarereallygreat]

Or Dustin/Rusty/CB favorite thing about this character: unironically love everything abt Dustin, he’s one of my favorite characters beside Dinah and i just... he’s mans! random headcanon: Dustin has quite the green thumb! He has a little garden and he tends it well. unpopular opinion: More fat actors should play Dustin. favorite image:
