Wemb!Electra, on seeing (bochum!) Elektra and their components for the first time: this is strange, right? Clearly they've decided to copy us all.

If anyone has any like super cool song or something for me to animate Electra too plz plz plz, there so pretty I need to do something detailed...

[donewithlifeitself]

I think we as a society should get over with the whole bad boy, emo, toxic shadow daddy thing and exchange it for caracter who “look”edgy and toxic and bad boy core but instead are like the sweetst, most awkward, pathetic, and cringe failure boy to exist in the world who trys to be tough and fail misarebly, who have the worst sense of humor and who just wants to be quiet and write the worst kind of edgy poetry that mankind has ever see, to be a romantic CAOS who does not know how to deal with his emotions and is super awkward around his Crush…..that is to say, please less rhysands and more fakirs.

Starlight Express but Rusty just stand there awkwardly instead of doing anything and everyone continues as if he said his lines

[theguywholikedmusicals42]

Starlight Express but Rusty realizes his choices don't matter and everything will always turn out exactly the same regardless of what he does and he's always doomed to watch the love of his life choose another engine and have the weight of the world placed upon him. It never mattered if he played his cards right. His failure was predetermined long ago and nothing could change what was to come. He exists only to amuse people, and what could be more entertaining than having your heart broken again and again? Than achieving all your dreams only to start off back at the beginning for the next show?

He was never in control of his future.

Electra who says shit like “my gender is very positively charged today” and “oh I’m only feeling something like a neutral charge right now we’ll see how that changes later”

Or, Electra who uses electrical charge types to describe their gender

[raptorstar]

I've seen a slight amount of varying opinions as to what gender is best for Electra. So I've come up with an amazing solution to this issue: No one actually knows, not even their components. Whenever someone tries to ask him she responds with "I'm electric." or something along the lines of that. All the others just use whatever pronouns they assume Electra uses and I'd imagine that starts discourse at the Yard that just never ends because Electra refuses to give a clear answer. I imagine Electra does this to look cool and mysterious + it's fun to confuse old trains Are we seeing the vision...

i only like enemies to lovers if it’s gay because i think men who are mean to women don’t deserve to live

[tlirsgender]

Being critical of your interests is sooooo fun when you have the critic gene & then you sound kind of insane to the average tv watcher when you're like "this is my favorite show, It's Racist" & then you try to clarify what you mean & get that [Speech (legendary) - FAILURE] "the racism is really interesting though"

[tlirsgender]

[Speech (legendary) - SUCCESS] I find the sociopolitical context of pulpy old sci-fi born circa the civil rights movement really fascinating to analyze especially when it was progressive for its time but still reveals the writers' unexamined biases in the subtext

[tlirsgender]

Now to the untrained eye you might be thinking. Wouldn't you rather watch a show that isn't racist? But that's the fuck of it all, nothing is free of The Context and The Subtext. Everything is lowkey racist. And I like star trek

Thinking about all the different ways I've seen people imagine Electra's charging devices (Pantograph arms in the tickovers, microbraids being plugged in and out of an outlet in the music video, various people I've seen giving him a plug tail) As I've been experimenting a bit with how I draw Electra, I couldn't figure out which one to use since all of them are brilliant. So you know what? ALL OF THEM. I imagine Electra has all those different ways of charging because they have the side hustle of being an electrical system critic. Like a fancy restaurant critic but for outlets, plugs, etc. They show up to some place, plug into an outlet there, probably cause a power outage, give the place a rating, and then leave.
