so who else is obsessed with langdon…

hopelessly devoted to you

they really just slapped the shit out of everyone who’s fav character was simon or wally cause what the actual hell just happened

about to watch the last episode… pray for me

what upsets me most about the argument in 2x06 is i dont think maddie quite understands that, with simon, she never needs to ask. he would willingly put his whole life on hold a million times over if it meant finding a way to get her back because he genuinely cannot fathom a life without her. a life with no maddie is not a life simon could survive, he’s said it himself.

so if he has to go on a wild good chase to solve her death, sacrifice his own plans and opportunities to be able to see her, risk his and their friend’s lives to get her body back, he would do it. in every universe.

because why wouldn’t he? maddie is basically all we know about simon. their friendship is pivotal not only to the show, but to their livelihoods. of course he would get suspended, put himself in danger, pass up chicago. what good is college if he can’t talk to her? see her? spend time with her? what’s the point? how could he ever leave her behind?

he wouldn’t.

but she wouldn’t even have to ask him to do any of that, and i think that’s what hurt simon the most. sure, it’s inconvenient, and he’s hurt and angry that there actually might be a world where maddie wouldn’t want to come back after everything, but it’s more about the sentiment — the fact that she thinks her asking would make any sort of difference. that he would go to any of the trouble if he truly thought he could go on without her.

of course i see where maddie’s coming from, but it’s honestly a slap to face

simon seeing a parallel of himself and maddie in janet and mr martin made me feel physically sick. i cannot lose them I REFUSE TO LOSE THEM

once again: simon elroy u are the best character and i will get u that happy ending

is it not fun to feel many other ways?

okay so i noticed on reddit quite a few people draw parallels between what the kids are learning in class and the plot itself — frankenstein pops up a lot — but i cannot for the life of me stop thinking about maddie’s s1 essay on orpheus and eurydice ???

“the ultimate romance or ultimately problematic?”

like, that encompasses her plot with simon, no?

simon works relentlessly to bring maddie back from the other side, just like how orpheus works to get eurydice from the underworld, no matter how difficult, how hard and how potentially problematic it is. their love knows no bounds, “its bigger than high school”, but never once has it occurred to him that by laying down his own life, he could be with her again

(which i assume is what maddie is getting at in her essay, as a common criticism of orpheus is that he goes to the end of the world to bring eurydice back, but does not go to the underworld to be with her. however you view this, i don’t think there’s a wrong answer)

perhaps, like orpheus, simon has to venture to the underworld to save her. maybe he, like orpheus, can’t bring himself to not turn around (whether it be out of doubt for the gods or out of his love for her) and fails at the final hurdle. maybe their story is doomed and there really is no saving maddie.

or maybe simon will do what orpheus didn’t. lay down his own life to be with her, rather than fight to bring her back to him. maybe he doesn’t get a choice

whatever the case, there’s just so much to it and it breaks my heart and i love them so much

God and his favorite follower

guys i survived the rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtle renewal war of 2023 u CANNOT break my soul when it comes to renewing media. i am a survivor. a warrior. a champion.

did i just start writing a school spirits fic about simon and maddie and their codependency and the repercussions of simon seeing her ghost and what that will do to his psyche and overall mental healthhhh??? perhaps…

i was born. it was all really hard. but i had SIMON.

[fully ignoring the fact that janet got bagged and kidnapped as I scuff my feet against the floor because I'm not yet mentally ready to theorize about whatever the Fuck is going on with that plot thread] man... simon is such a great character huh. he's kind of like a feral cat that's hanging on by a thread and I love him a lot.

romantic or not they are actually the best of friends ever and i need more scenes of them in s2 or i’ll lose my mind

School Spirits (actually just Simon Elroy) funny tumblr text memes

A partial reason why I think Simon Elroy is underrated is because many people prefer to think about romantic relationships than friendships and IN THIS ESSAY I WILL-

i haven’t felt this obsessed with a character since leo from rise.. simon elroy u are about to become sooo famous

i haven’t watched the new episode but my guesses are either mr martin went into that white chick hating on claire or claire herself

the djo sequence with simon trying to ignore maddie can i get a amen holy hell

i just started watching school spirits and why is simon the most character character of all time like do u guys get this does this make sense because i can keep going

waiting so patiently for the School Spirits fandom to come to life so I can talk about it and absorb all the content like a plant soaking up water

⁂ school spirits characters on twitter ⁂

Simon Elroy needs to go to a rage room. Let him get his anger and frustrations out because he is so stressed and that’s not healthy. He’s so stressed like he needs to let all that frustration out

Midnight rage

be prepared for an arcane analysis/rant post cause i need to get all my thoughts out

That one scene but make it an indie game cutscene??

I loved playing deltarune so yeah

the parallels of rottmnt.

-

-

the way rottmnt portrays the cycle of sacrifice and generational trauma through the concept of the hamato tradition is so beyond phenomenal it’s really hard to articulate with just words how hard it really hits. there’s so many parallels btwn splinter & his history/family than can be seen within raph & leo that can also almost be translated to f!leo & casey in some ways, not to mention the parallels btwn karai and leo as well.

the way splinter tried SO hard to break from that cycle, the way he saw how it effected his family and himself and didn’t want to put his family through it again yet it seemed to be inevitable regardless. he never wanted to have to choose btwn his family and the world and yet even when he made that choice in S1, in the end he still ended up losing a family member (karai) in exchange for time to save the world.

and even though he tried to break the chain so hard, the cycle of sacrifice was still adopted into raph and leo in different ways which was later passed down to donnie and mikey.

not to mention the future timeline where they ended up losing EVERYBODY and in the end of the movie casey is met with the same choice of the world over family just as many family members before him have.

the sacrificial bone and need to protect is just so ingrained into the entire family, to the point where the same events just seem to happen over and over no matter what is done.

the cycle of love and loss, protection and sacrifice, family vs the world. over and over.

Been reading "the neon void" by @sugarpasteltmnt on ao3 and GUYS ITS SO GOOD

so I went and drew my favorite moment so far from chapter 6
