Making up for some missed StEx Appreciation Month days! Here's an old family photo of Human! AU Freight Family. In addition to adopting all these kiddos, Momma and Poppa also opened their doors to any kids who had troubled home lives, so CB and BV were at their house quite a bit. Eventually, they'd adopt Rusty too!
I put more StEx Appreciation Month stuff under the cut because it's long
StEx Appreciation Month Day Twelve: Poppa/Momma!
Favorite Songs/Moments: The intro to Starlight Express and the Starlight Sequence, love Poppa/Momma's duet with Rusty ❤️
Favorite Costume: I don't have a favorite. All of them are fine
Favorite Ships: Poppa x Belle or Momma x Belle are fine
Unpopular opinions: I don't really like Light at the End of the Tunnel. I'm sorry, the conversion to steam stuff just rubs me the wrong way
StEx Appreciation Month Day Thirteen: Rockies! The sillies!!
Favorite Songs/Moments: Freight! Also love watching them during Poppa/Momma's blues. Shout out to Right Place, Right Time being so objectively funny! Here's Rusty at his lowest then the Rockies bust in and tell him to give up while dropping the sickest dance moves
Favorite Costume: The old Bochum ones, gotta love the booty shorts (also Pink! Rocky, my beloved)
Favorite Ships: Brocky, I don't have any ships for Rocky 2 or 3
Unpopular opinions: None I guess? Bring back Rocky 4 but make him pink??
Stex Appreciation Month Day Fourteen: Hip Hoppers! I don't have much to say about them, but their version of the Rap is cheesy and fun
StEx Appreciation Month Day Fifteen: Dustin! Super underrated, I love Dustin so much
Favorite Songs/Moments: His little moment with Rusty after the Starlight Sequence, going ham on the harmonica during Poppa/Momma's Blues, the OLC Rap where he defends Rusty. I'm so glad that he stays back with Flat-Top now after Rusty is beaten up by the gang. If you can't tell, Dustin and Rusty's friendship is so important to me 🥺
Favorite Costume: Once again, I don't think I have a favorite but the Bochum ones are nice
Favorite Ships: Rustin is cute
Unpopular opinions: None!
StEx Appreciation Month Day Sixteen: Flat-Top! The smelly garbage boy (affectionate)
Favorite Songs/Moments: He's so fun to watch in general! The brick selfies are great and he's especially hilarious during Pumping Iron and Poppa/Momma's Blues
Favorite Costume: I appreciate his London look, but Bochum edges it out for me. I like the bricks
Favorite Ships: Flat-Top x Brick I don't actively ship him with anyone
Unpopular opinions: I don't think I have any!

Some say: Poppa x Belle
Others say: Momma x Belle
My school of tought says: Poppa and Momma are 2 separate characters, and they're in a lovingly poly relationship with Belle!

I love Poppa. You know it's hard for him being a single mom, especially since he has no kids and is a male steam train.
Jokes aside... I drew this just so I could try to draw a steam beard. Pretty sick, huh?

2023's StEx Appreciation Month!
Day 12: Poppa and Momma McCoy
Lothair Eaton in the first picture and Maria Jane Hyde in the second picture.
Favorite Actor: Steve Fowler (Broadway, 1987-1989), David E Moore (Bochum, 2009-2016), Mica Paris (2017 Off-West End Workshop), Reva Rice (Bochum update, 2018-2023), and Maria Jane Hyde (Bochum update, 2021-2023, understudy)
Face Claim/Voice Claim: Lothair Eaton (face) and Steve Fowler (voice), Reva Rice (face and voice)
Favorite Song/Scene: Starlight Prelude
Favorite Costume: For Poppa, Broadway/pre-2018 Bochum. For Momma, the one she has looks great! Though I never really understood why she wore a skirt for act 2, when she didn't wear one in act 1.
Favorite Ships: Poppa x Momma, Poppa x Belle, and Momma x Belle
Headcanon(s):
Poppa/Momma is not Rusty's biological parent.
This isn't a headcanon I personally believe, but I think the idea Momma being trans (MTF) is really sweet.
Unpopular Opinion: None for Poppa, and for Momma, I like her a lot!

Introduction post!
Hi everyone! I finally made my own account. Here's a little bit about me for those who don't know me:
My name's Marla, but most people call me Mama!
I'm a co-host alongside @dinahcar in the engine system!
I'm quite old, so I might not understand some of the internet lingo used around here..
I'm a proud mom of any kid in a nearby radius. I'll adopt any of you, if you please!
Proud steam engine, steam is the future!
I'm a transgender woman. If you dare to call me a man, I will shoot you /hj 😇
I'm so glad to be here, I can't wait to interact with everyone and see all your cool posts! 😁

Just a little headcanon: whenever Poppa won a race, he was together with Belle.

StEx Appreciation Month 2023!
Double day bonus!
Day 11: Belle the Sleeping Car; Day 12: Poppa & Momma the old steam engines!!!
My school of thought says that Poppa and Momma are 2 separate characters. It also says that they're in a poly relationship with Belle.
