(tap on it for better quality)
recently i was thinking about how much attention is focused on stein's craziness and how less is on the fact that he's trying his best to fight it.
it's interesting for me to think about how he actually has morals. and even though it would be eazier to join the bad guys he is still trying to be a somewhat good person
continuing the idea i asked cannibal-nightmares about, i think spirit brings some life in stein's apartment too, but not like marie. instead of just like bringing his things and leaving them there(because stein would probably just throw them away) he kinda just. brings the mood. probably leaving doors open or moving things around or leaving dirt on the floor. although he definetly forgot one or two things, but i like to think that stein just kept them to himself so spirit thought that he lost this things on a street or something.
but anyway spirit would force(beg) stein to do some stupid things. like buy a normal soap so the guy could wash his hands properly. or something as unnecessary(because spirit why do you even need soap i have medical alcohol instead). and this is how steins home started to look more "normal" although surprisingly he doesn't really care about it
not a day passes without me thinking of gordon and barney meeting gordon and benrey. just imagine their reactions
barney: is that supposed to be me??
benrey: uh dude why're you wearing security uniform. you're not working here. take it off man
gordon(hl2): *signed "hello"*
gordon(hlvrai): the fuck did you jus' said
i like to imagine a scene where spirit looks at stein calmly, a little questioning even, like asking "what'd you see?". he stands against a blue sky with some rare clouds. and stein looks up at him as if he was looking at sun
imagine the boys standing next to the entrance to the academy, stein's probably smoking, while spirit's just looking at the sunset sky because they had to leave from academy very late. then spirit looks at stein and
spirit, uncomfortably: what're you doing?
stein: looking at you.
spirit: well, stop.
and that's it. black screen for a second, and then ending starts to play
i have a headcanon because of this wonderful 100+ thousand words fanfic series on ao3 that stein is just obsessed with spirit and spirit is literally the only reason stein's still has some sane sense. the guy just desperately clings to him like a little boy to the only adult who didn't reject him, spirit is literally a breath of fresh air for him after a bad battle or a candle that burns forever in the dark. i can't fully explain how stein feels about this redhead idiot, it's just that felling in the chest when he sees him and suddenly everything as it's supposed to be for a few seconds, no horrors, no abstruse thoughts, just spirit, his red hair and his awfully stupid face
inspired by @puppys-teeth post about prequel to soul eater, i've came up with some ideas
(warning: i am not a native speaker and too lazy to put this text into google translator so there will be mistakes)
the fact that stein tried to work with excalibur is just. so real. i can literally see it in canon as a flashback or something. when stein tried to work with that guy as some kind of experiment or just to became more powerful. and spirit being as sensitive as always would be really pissed with it and feeling forgotten and "what!? are you throwing me up like some broken pencil!? oh no you don't!!" and the rest of episode it's just him trying to make stein get annoyed with excalibur. and just when he gets along with the fact that "oh well. now i need a new meister." excalibur just casually says some shit and stein kicks him out. and he comes back to spirit like wsup what were you doing all day(he knows exactly what spirit was doing all day). and spirit being as forgiveable as always are like "oh y'know. normal stuff" and they're just going to the dinner together like nothing had happened.
also, spirit covering stein? gosh i love it. as if he thinks that if he's the older one it means he has to protect stein even if he's annoyed with that guy sometimes. sometimes really annoyed. and y'know what? if he hadn't justify stein one time, he deserved it. or couple times. but most of the times he was a good friend, i swear!
i imagine stein just asking him "why?" one time, and spirit's just changing the subject because he don't want to admit that he actually cares about this crazy little guy
and imagine spirit giving stein the last piece of cake as a cool older brother figure(he thinks) and after not receiving any "thank you" or "oh you shouldn't have" he gets angry and since then he never let stein have the last piece of anything
i still have so much thoughts about this little dudes you have no idea
i think it would be so funny if fairy timmy didn't know how to grant wishes like AT ALL. he would be so bad at this because he never learned how to grant wishes properly, like in that one episode when he becames wanda's and cosmo's fairy. someone would say "i wish i had a glass of water" and the guy would just make unstoppable rain in their room by accident. this is why he works with papers now
first chapter of Quantum leap is out for already... a month or so. check it out if you want!
Summary:
Jimmy would have never thought that heaven looked so much like the ceiling of his quarter.
Or
People can change, but sometimes the circumstances that would cause them enough pain to want to change may never happen.
also there's some arts for the chapter by amazing Fal(inst tg)!
sadly, i don't think i will :[ at least not until i finish quantum leap. perhaps tally hall obsession will return to me, but if not i'll definitely make an extra chapter to let you all know where the plot were headed!
