My headcanons for StEx characters' ages. (You know... if they were human.)
(I already posted this over a year ago, but it was in a reblog, so I figured I'd post it as it's own original post. I'm just copying & pasting everything I wrote before.)
Okay, so for me, (original) StEx takes place on March 27th, 1984.
Dinah: 23. Dinah really gives me that “Youngest of the coaches" vibe, and knowing that Frances Ruffelle and Jane Krakowski were both 18 when StEx debuted in London and on Broadway (respectively) and Natalie Howard was 21 when StEx debuted in Bochum definitely adds to that vibe for me. (To me, she’s a Pisces, and would’ve very recently had her 23rd birthday.)
Greaseball: 32 or 30, but he’s almost 33 or 31 because I headcanon him as an Aries. I was feeling that Greaseball is a bit older than Dinah, but once I learned that Elvis & Priscilla have a 10-year age gap, I was like, “Yeah, that tracks.” (No pun intended.) But then I thought (literally while writing this), "Hmm, does G.B. seem almost 33?" Even with Jeff having been 36 when StEx debuted, Greaseball gives me more of a 29-31 vibe? Idk for sure now! 🤷🏽♀️ My headcanon is that he & Dinah have been together for almost 2 years.
Rusty: 24 or 25. I’m not entirely solid on his age yet.
Pearl: 26. I know people usually see Pearl as quite young, but I'm feeling 26 exactly from, like, every version I've seen of her.
C.B.: 25. Or 26.
Ashley: 30. I read that Ash is like “the big sister” of the girls, while I feel like Dinah is the little sister.
Buffy: 28.
Electra: 29-31.
Volta: 29.
Joule: 24 or 25. She has that younger energy; I don’t mean physical energy, I mean in her personality.
Poppa: 65-70.
Belle: 53-57.
The Rockies: 24.
Dustin: 23 or 24.
Flat-Top: 20. He definitely has the vibe of being the youngest, and I’ve read him described as quite young.
2nd & 3rd Class Sleepers: 26-27.
Duvay: 27. (I’ve gotten the headcanon that she is Ash’s younger sister, which is why I am including her.)
...
I don’t care about the new Belle or Carrie or Killerwatt. I haven’t thought about the ages for Krupp, Wrench, or Purse; I honestly... don’t pay much attention to those 3. 😬 👀
Most brick trucks don't eat bricks despite that being part of a typical freight truck diet, this is because brick trucks tend to bond with their bricks, especially ones from their first haul.
Flat-Top doesn't do this though. The only brick he cares about is Brick. The rest of them don't matter and bricks taste good. He probably eats other bricks in front of Brick to keep him in line.
helloooooo it is zombie flat top time fellow gay train enjoyers (still dont have a name for him in this au bc my brain is soup)
hes v v into punk music and fashion in this au and has a one man band (he practices in mamas garage and sometimes plays at ashley and buffys bar/cafe)
idk which character to draw next so pls vote in this poll!!!
