ive seen that so many people are really, really missing Schneeplestein. and i personally can get behind this. but imagine…
…someday we get a vid with him, he has returned. and his first line is “did you miss me?” – with this hint in his voice, y’all know it, exactly this tone – and then its just an usual, fun video
Nope nope nope nope no-
*thinks about it happening*
THAT’S TOO EASY TO IMAGINE OH FUC-
If I may…
It had been a year. A whole year with no sign of the Doctor. Even the most stoic fan had started to demand an appearance from him again.
So when a title for a new surgery game flashed up with “BACK FROM VACATION” on YouTube with the beloved surgeon on the thumbnail, the fandom collectively lost their minds. The tags initially flooded with people expressing their joy at seeing the good doctor back. Not many people noticed the tiny tinge of green in one of his eyes ……
The video started.
“Velcome back mein friends! I heard zat zer good doctor was needed once more to operate on a new patient. Fear not, good sir or madam, you are in the best hands!” He started the game and talked to his “patient” reassuringly.
Halfway through he looked at the camera.
“Jack told me somezing very sweet. He said that you were asking for me while I was on…..”
There was a slight pause, he stared at the camera and the quietest whisper was heard. The Doctor snapped back into reality.
“VACATION! Ha ha! I nearly forgot ze the word” he laughed it off. “Yes, Jack said that you all hoped was okay. d̴i̸d̴ ̵y̵o̷u̶ ̶m̷i̷s̵s̸ ̵m̴e̷ that much?” He laughed again, a little more high pitched this time, not even addressing that something was wrong.
He went back to the game, his laugh and his behaviour becoming more like Anti’s until the camera glitched during the outro…..
You want to believe that this is simply another fun video. That the dread you’re feeling in your chest in unwarranted and irrational. As the video draws to a close you can almost believe that everything is fine.
And then the outro glitches, and you can almost hear it. The collective gasp of everyone watch. Every single viewer wincing, jumping, like they had been struck. You slam your computer closed, you put your phone away, to try to take a deep breath, but you can’t.
He only wanted to help. After everything we said about him, he just wanted to save Jack. He didn’t care about himself. And now he’s… he’s…
STOP IT BOTH OF YOU
