#stex Opal

[gutsofgold]

I unironically love when couples are in shows together it's so cute and that brings me to Emilie Du Leslay and Kristian Jacobs because I won't ever shut up about them

I am VERY biased towards Emilie because she was Portia in witw and that's how I found stex but like she's also my favourite 2018!Pearl/Opal actress (I don't have a favourite pre-update actress yet so dont ask me) and her and her bf were just everyone ever

I HAVE more somewhere but I cant find them atm so I'll reblog when I do but for now here's Carrie and Ruhrgold and Pearl/Opal and GB

Opal!

I know I KNOW her costume is shades of silver but I REFUSE

The spotted stuff on her is supposed to be sparkly, like on the hem of her dress and the tinsel in her hair

[neacle]

Just some porls cause i love her<3

Opal (2018!Pearl) x Me x Dinah. I don't have a ship name for it but.. I like this a lot!

[finleyforevermore]

Went treasure-hunting today, and look what I found! 🌺💖💞💚💙

I forget if I posted this already, but in case I didn't, it's a Prusty/Ropal edit I made last year! I'm still really proud of it honestly 🤎🩷🤎🤍

Pearl loves strawberry flavored...anything.

Unpopular Opinion

My characterization of Pearl is just the same, someone who was naive and gave into peer pressure. But additionally, she wants to be adventurous and go for what she wants, but doesn't look before she leaps due to inexperience and ignorance.

StEx Appreciation Month Day 2: Pearl/Opal

Favourite Actor Pearl: Reva Rice, Claudia Bradley, Cheryl McAvoy, Nikki Belsher. Opal: Dieuwke Tonissen, Gemma Archer, Sydnie Christmas

Favourite Songs/Scenes Pearl: Whistle for Me, A Lotta Locomotion, Next Time You Fall In Love. Opal: Whistle for Me (Rusty & Pearl's duet), Für Immer, and I love her solo in Ich Bin Ich.

Favourite Costumes My favourite is the 2010s era costume. I love the pink wig and she just looks so pretty! I like the new costume too but if I had to choose... it would have to be the 2010s era.

Favourite Ships Pearl: I like Pearl/Rusty a lot. Opal: Pearl/Rusty but also Pearl/Dinah... I think that ship has a lot of potential in the update.

Headcanons Pearl: I think she would host some of the best sleepovers/girls nights! Opal: I think she is a little bit intimidated by Dinah and the other coaches when she first joins the yard. They're all very sure of themselves (in a good way) and she's new and doesn't know how everything works and everything. I don't think the intimidation feeling lasts for long though. She just feels sorta out of place at first. Not sure if that makes sense? Sorry if it doesn't.

Unpopular Opinions I prefer Whistle for Me is over Make Up My Heart. Not sure if that's unpopular?

The rest of the coaches !! ^^

I didn't include belle, Tassita, or any of the components. They'll be in different posts lol

I decided to separate Opal from Pearl because I think she's cute, and I do much prefer pearls pink design and more voluminous hair. But I still wanted opal around. So she's pearls cousin/sister and is considered a observatory window observation car, while pearl is a open balcony.

( Opal is heavily inspired by Pearls on ice design. I just liked the see through details sm )

Duvay, Carrie and Brandi all being yellow/brown is a bit disappointing but I wanted to keep their color schemes the same. ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

( oh also I'm calling her Brandi the bar car because two Belles is confusing !! )

[owwwmyteeth]

just a couple of observation cars…wonder what their talking about..

Golden Pearl..?

Greaseball x Pearl or Opal(2018!Pearl) is underrated and under-explored.. I think we look great together.

[finleyforevermore]

I've been busy... /ref

Here are some of my StEx pride headcanons in the form of some nifty flags! I had a blast making these!

Carrie is cisgender and asexual.

Rusty is cisgender, demiromantic, and asexual.

Opal is cisgender, panromantic, and asexual (more specifically I imagine she's sex-repulsed ace)

Zero is omnisexual and genderfluid.

Cabs is cisgender and bisexual.

Joule is girlflux and pansexual.

And I made these two for my friends @gb-diesellok and @electricfied-wolf! Greaseball is omnisexual and intersex, and Elektra/ELEDtra/E-lectra is biromantic asexual!

I had a blast making these, and honestly, if anyone has any StEx (Sonic is cool too!) pride flag/hcs requests, please drop em in my inbox! These were a lot of fun and I'd love to make more for you all!

That's all for now, happy Pride month friends! ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜
