Here are some of my favorite GreaseDinah moments that I found because I spent the majority of today saving stuff like this
Babies
SO SOFT!!!
Yes I did crop the picture a bit but I just love Dinah’s expression after seeing GB flex
I showed it earlier but I just love it!
THE HUG
I honestly love the B’way sorrry a whole lot
After watching the breakdown video idk man I'm just kinda sad abt the London production. Why is it so drastically changed 😔. Yes I know change is ok but like DANG WOW, that's a whole lotta change and a lot of my fave songs and characters are just gone 😔
ok, back from the dead cuz there's an update.
idk abt Rusty's costume, I think my hopes were too high. Imma wait to see all the costumes and music and stuff but like I was saying from the beginning, this feels like a non-replica or a fan fic. It just doesn't feel like it is StEx tbh
i will say that the set does look pretty good for less space than Germany. I miss the bridge but it looks good with all the neon

Sometimes when I sit down and think abt the London production I get kinda sad. I was expecting like 80s and 90s StEx quality and plot but ehh, its just not that. I feel like my hopes were just too high, especially since a lot of the OG creative team isn't working on it. However, I hope the actors have fun tho cuz singing and dancing on roller skates is just a blast
Forever bitter that we don't get to have CB anymore and we will apparently never get female Electra 😔
Ok but do you think that Greaseball, Electra and CB act differently around the anniversary of the crash? Like if Greaseball just runs slower on the tracks and becomes extra clingy to Dinah. Or if Electra just is super closed off and doesn't leave their shed much and Volta is like the only one that talks to him for like a week. And if CB seems even more unpredictable, like one minute he would be extra funny and would be laughing and stuff but then the next minute he would be really quiet and closed off.
I just think that this kinda happens for the cheater guys sometimes, maybe I'll write a fix abt it
I must be an unbeliever cuz I know for SURE diesel if for me
ops on the coaches las vegas outfits
While they were kinda skimpy I think they were cute actually. Since it was Vegas they tried to make them look more like show-girls so it was fitting. Dinah’s especially was a super cute design and I love it actually. I feel like those costumes tho should have just stayed in Vegas cuz that is where it is most fitting cuz of all the other shows in Vegas. But overall I just think the designs are cute <3
CB: “Is it a crime to be a silly little guy?”
Rusty: “YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!”
Ok but what does London have against CB? Is he just not allowed back or something???
Call it a hot take but I feel like StEx was never really abt diversity and inclusion like how it first started out. It was just a musical abt trains and over the years there was more diversity in the actors. I feel like as of late (starting with the 2018 update) they were like "Dang, times have sure changed we gotta do something!" and thus the change in Dinah's storyline and changing Poppa to Momma and Bobo to Coco (and having a female Rocky). These changes were just that, changes, but it didn't feel that forced it was ok. Did some ppl feel a loss because there was change sure, but still, this was a good change to be more diverse (having female engines and freight). The only thing that felt forced was making Volta male. Overall not bad but not exactly needed cuz if it is for diversity we already had Purse (oh how I miss him!) or Krupp but ehh whatever (I just will NEVER forgive Napier for the wig design NEVER)
Now here is where the take begins to heat up. Having a male coach is good I think because like in the 2018 update, it shows that certain roles (engines, freight, coaches etc...) don't have gender. Having more engines that are female is also good but like idk who they are like umm???? Are they Nationals now???? But anyway. Female Greaseball feels forced to me like you passed up having female Electra (to me that is such a CLEAR choice) that can literality be played by a man or a woman (I mean vocally since there is an official recording from the B'way concept) but we were ROBBED of that. Female Greaseball feels like forced diversity to me and I feel like forced diversity is just not helpful at all. Like if they up and said "All major characters are now going to be played by black actors!!!" Um no, that is NOT diversity (just giving an example that is more relevant to me).
I just wish they had done something like had four Rockies (bring back pink Rocky!!!) and had two male and two female or had female Electra or even have Electra be a role that is covered by both a man or a woman. This is just the hill I choose to die on because I feel really robbed here. Alas, we just gotta see how this plays out but if they make anymore "tweeks" like having Pearl and Rusty just be friends or some crap I will lose it. No issue with trains just being friends but come on this is a romance and they are the main characters, let them have their moment
💕💕💕
Something else I thought of was why don’t they add back Belle? Some of ya’ll are so worried about representation that you ignore the most obvious choice; Momma and Belle.
And they can still be butch and fem, if anything they have better representation of butch and fem relationships not to mention much better and healthier.
Starlight has never been a show about good representation, we all know this, and it’s not a show to handle topics like lesbian domestic violence, or emotional abuse, which Greaseball has put Dinah through canonically through all shows
(Im an avid Greasedinah shipper so don’t think im shitting on the ship)
These are sensitive topics, not to mention they would have to change a lot to the show by making Greaseball female I don’t think they fully acknowledged.
Anyways
TWO PARENT HOME FOR RUSTY 2024!!
I WISH they brought back Belle(fingers crossed)😭 Rusty deserves a stable two parent home
I'm happy this was posted recently because I couldn't remember the original video.. but... think about it!!
This is actually really cool and I mean I wasn’t so sure abt Greaseball’s iconic songs sung in the female vocal range for the revival but I don’t think it would be too bad I just couldn’t picture it before. Still gonna miss that sweet sweet baritone tho 😔
No one is telling you that you have to leave, stop being such a dramatic crybaby. Just because you can’t freak out over a dumb ship now cuz it isn’t cishet anymore doesn’t mean you should bitch and moan all the time. And the “hyperfixation” my ass you’re just playing pretend and you just need to keep your mouth shut. Stop ruining the fandom with your homophobia and bullying that’s all people are asking for. Stay or whatever but just stop being such a crybaby and a loser
Ok so I’m not even gonna do anything anymore, I really can’t take it. This is just a fun musical abt trains that I happened to find and like, I don’t know why ppl need to be so mean. I’ve gotten others like these but I don’t even want to try to defend myself anymore. Like I said it was an honest mistake and I’m sorry. I will leave cuz I don’t want to rock the boat anymore and I just don’t think it’s good for me anymore
