Day 7 of my starlight express drawings 🙏

Fun fact: my boyfriend thought Carrie had chocolate brownies as headpieces and now that's canon for me

[engine-of-love]

Check It Out! (Can you believe this?!)

This is an official English version of 'Ich Bin Ich'! (Or I Got Me, or, as its officially titled 'I Am Me')

I know some of you aren't crazy about this song, but I'm glad we got an english version and I love it already. Give it a listen if you got a moment

StEx Appreciation Month Day Eight: Carrie!

She's adorable!!💛

Favorite Songs/Moments: Ich Bin Ich, her flirting with Ruhr or BV, I also like watching her dance during Pumping Iron and the MegaMix

Favorite Costume: She's only had one but I like it! It makes her stand out from the other coaches but it works since she's not a passenger car

Favorite Ships: Carrie x Ruhrgold, Carrie x BV

I don't think I have an unpopular opinion, so here's a random headcanon: This girl is addicted to designer handbags and she has one for every occasion. She might not look like it, but she's also the strongest coach.

StEx Appreciation Month 2023!

Day 8: Carrie!!!

Friendly reminder that Carrie is stronger than what she appers. BV found out the hard way during some, ehm... "naughty times".

[isaterriblebore]

StEx Appreciation Month Day 8: Carrie

Favourite Actor Lacy Jordinson, Alexandra Regan, Melanie Dull, and Demy Janssen. Favourite Songs/Scenes I like her in Ich Bin Ich and in the Races! Favourite Costumes There’s not been too many changes other than the length or the skirt and the wig but I’m pretty content with the way her costume is right now 😊 Favourite Ships I don’t actively ship her with anyone but Carrie/BV is nice! Also Carrie/Ruhrgold. Headcanons I think she would become really good friends with Opal (post 2018 Pearl). I like to think that she’s the closest to her (post canon of course). Unpopular Opinion I wish she did more in the show! Thankfully, a lot of actresses I've seen, give her a bit of personality but I wish the show gave us more than just a one line introduction.

[lune-tic]

I fully believe that any picture of Rusty with the coaches is a good picture

“I got me, and that’s all I need!”

I Got Me rewrite ver.2

So, the last rewrite of this song was based off of the 2017 Workshop version. The official song is more pleasing, but I thought I could make it a little better. 

In this version, there is still a display of the coaches’ confidence but they are also saying that they are just as important as the engines. Btw I based these lyrics off of the translation of the original.

DINAH: I got me

Believe what you see

No way, no how

Not backing down

I got me 

Be what I can be

Be number one

A champion

All these engines show off 

Think they’re the greatest thing

But without us around

What do they have left?

I won’t take all that flak 

‘Cause I know my own strength

Come on and clear my track

If you wanna rise above  

Then show them what you got

You have to bravely stand up

Be on the offensive

When they tell you 

To just stay at the back

Make yourself loud and clear

I got me 

Believe what you see

No way, no how

Not backing down

DINAH, BELLE, CARRIE: I got me 

Be what I can be

Be number one

A champion

We can think quick

And run so long

We can guarantee

That we will stand strong

More than a pretty face

We got style and grace

We can match the pace!

We’re all important here 

We’re no less than best

All essential cogs

In a big machine!

I won’t listen to those 

Who tell me otherwise

Because I know my worth

I got me

Believe what you see

Watch me go 

I’ll run this show 

Let it be known

We’re tough as stone

Now be prepared 

‘Cause we’re not scared 

PEARL: I know I’m more than capable 

Of all the things I can do  

Today’s the day that I’ll start

Proving that facts to you 

I won’t let anyone put me down

‘Cause I’m made of iron 

I got me 

Believe what you see

No way, no how

Not backing down

Steam and fuel 

Is not all there is 

PEARL & DINAH: Don’t you know 

We’re the backbone 

COACHES: I got me 

Believe what you see

It’ll all be fine

Just watch me shine

Got forms of steel

With hearts of gold

Make no mistake

Yeah we won’t break

PEARL: Don’t just stand back

Show them your spirit

You gotta bravely stand up

Be on the offensive

I won’t listen to those 

Who say I’m destined to lose

Because I know my worth

COACHES: I got me!

I got me!

I got me!

I got me!

Don’t Hold Back- Girls’ Rolling Stock replacement song

As the title says, this is a song that serves as a replacement for ‘Girls’ Rolling Stock’ for the current show. The melody is the same as another cut song ‘No Comeback’. 

Belle & Carrie: Clear your track, this is your chance now

Hold your head up high, don’t hold back!

Belle: For far too long that man has gone and dismissed you

Left you so heartlessly, so give him what for 

Carrie: You know you’re the best, don’t waste your tears on him

Go show him and the rest

Belle & Carrie: The cars are in charge!

Don’t hold back, show him your worth

Hold your head up high, don’t hold back!

Don’t hold back, show him your worth

Hold your head up high, don’t hold back!

Don’t hold, don’t hold, don’t hold, don’t hold

Don’t hold back! Don’t hold back!

Don’t hold, don’t hold, don’t hold, don’t hold

Don’t hold back! Don’t hold back!

Belle: [spoken] You wanna show Greaseball who’s boss? You gotta go and attack

Carrie:[spoken] Are you gonna let some hardheaded fool get you down?

Dinah: No...

I.GOT.ME 

Don’t hold back, I’ll keep it going

It’s independence day

Belle & Carrie: Don’t hold back!

Belle, Carrie, Dinah: Don’t hold back, keep it going

The cars are in charge, don’t hold back!

StEx Appreciation Month 2022 day 9: Carrie

- Favourite actor: Sadie Levett and Alexandra Regan! Both were wonderful to watch when i saw the show, I think Alexandra is my absolute fave tho, her background acting was so fun to watch! 

- Favourite song/scene: She is not in any song i really enjoy lmao, BUT i really do like the little scenes in the background! To name a few; her knowing full well that Ruhrgold is checking her out in the beginning and playing oh so coy. She did this at every performance, I loved it. Or at the final race when i saw Alexandra fawning and cheering at BV racing with Elektra, and Brandi chastising her for cheering “on the rival”. She looked very sheepish but her expression and gesture literally said “I’m sorry, but he’s hot.” 

- Favourite costume: She’s only had one lol

- Favourite ship: CarriexRuhrgold, i thought they had very sweet interactions! I do enjoy CarriexBV too but only to the extent that they are now canonically exes and friends lmao 

- Headcanon: She’s kinda short but very strong and curvy, carrying all that luggage has put some muscle on that gal. Maaaybe she could be scottish too, or irish. Red hair, freckles and an accent, cute :) 

- Unpopular opinion: I don’t think I have one lmao, her costume could still be improved, there are certain details i think are poorly executed but overall it has grown on me!
