☢️Springfield Mutant Meltdown AU☢️
At first I was like “nah Burns wouldn’t get mutated bc he’d keep himself safe first” BUT I think w/ the radiation mishap being literally where he works plus the opportunity to fuse him w/ Blinky the 3-eyed goldfish, I just had to do this 😂 PLUS it’s a callback to his casino logo
i bet you thought you'd seen the last of me
ghostbuster smithers 👻🚫
HE’S SO GRAHHHHHHHHH (foams at the mouth)
make cat boy smithers don’t be shy
he’s more puppy-coded but he’s such a cute cat too 💞💗
fuckass baby
For some reason, the current episodes of The Simpsons that focus on Waylon make me sad.
First, when we go from his blind admiration for Mr. Burns to instantly asking "Who should I kill" and kidnapping a man with a gun to his back - to his conscience that Mr. Burns bribed the judge to they were released from prison? You yourself bribed the judge to get Mr. Burns released in past episodes!
Second, I still don't understand why he has a photo of his ex on his wall. They did not part well. That dude was literally WORSE than Mr. Burns + he kicked a puppy that clearly represented Waylon throughout the episode - after which he decided to go his separate ways.
On the one hand, yes, I get it: character development. Perhaps the moment when he realized that he has a certain "type": "evil" billionaires - then he thought about what he was doing with his life in general. Yes, even in the first seasons, Waylon had a clear line beyond which he was not going to cross, "comic evil", like the idea of blocking the sun or beating up Homer for a completely understandable angry letter.
In more modern seasons, he repeatedly tries to "smooth out" Monty's actions, try to direct him, if not to a more "kind" path, then at least to a "neutral" one. Although the funny thing is that even in the original episodes, Burns is just struggling with anger issues, he is not an "evil villain" and is capable of human feelings, good deeds and is really looking for love and acceptance - which makes him a very interesting character. In the later seasons, his character jumps here and there a lot and he is often reduced to the very "cartoon evil", which upsets me a lot.
I kind of like "I'm even worse than them because I know better - but I do it anyway". I like it if they showed how Waylon on the one hand changed (why?) in the process, and he has on the one hand - a blind and strong love for Monty, and on the other - a desire to do good deeds. And so yes, he is also behind his back, even if together with Marge (I still like that they are best friends), they do good deeds.
By the way, this reminds me a little of the Rick and Morty episode where it turns out that Morty is sneaking behind Rick's back in the dimensions where he messed up and fixing everything that can be done because he has empathy and conscience and even though he no longer a naive child, he is still not a cynical nihilist. Of course, Waylon Smithers goes through a completely different story arc here - although I highly doubt that he was actually given an ARC, and not accidentally, given that the people who created the show don't care about any kind of consistency, canonicity, character development in the long term.
Oh my god, hire fans, seriously.
And damn, we've gone from "I'll turn the Earth upside down for you" to "I bribed a judge not for you… and your wife." On the one hand, I still like the joke that Burns regularly forgets not just Homer, but his entire family, no matter how many times they cross paths and work together.
On the other hand, I don't really get the joke, of why he thinks Waylon is straight, even though he did come out, and he's so out of touch with his personal life that he thinks he has a wife. GIVE ME BACK THEIR "I NAMED MY QUEEN BEE AFTER YOU" RELATIONSHIP! Even if you're not going to make them canon, gosh, it sucks to show that they're THAT far apart because WE KILLED THE FUCK FOR THE PREVIOUS 35 YEARS OF BUILDING THEIR RELATIONSHIP. They are CONSTANTLY together, they TALK, we've been shown that Burns really values Waylon as a sidekick and as a person, even if he can take him for granted.
At this point, I only want to read or write fanfics; and to rewrite these episodes in my imagination so that they fit into the canvas of their homoerotic behavior of the "golden age", if not to canonize them in my imagination. And yes, I DEFINITELY want to take this episode as a base and maybe write it "my way" so I don't want to cry so much.
I know I put too much into the relationship between the two drawing men, but I have a lot of bad things going on in my life right now, and these two are helping me a lot through this period.
I'm putting these tags here because I completely agree.
Burns might be grumpy and sometimes they used him humiliating Smithers or being mean or even cruel to him as a joke, okay, I get it. The characters don't have strict rules to follow in a comedy show. (also sometimes they played it as Waylon's weird kink)
BUT.
We were shown over and over again that Burns ACTUALLY cares about Smithers back. He tried to find a new assistant and failed miserably, so he was willing to pay a MILLION dollars to Waylon to return. Not to mention that he drove UBER to the restaurant the second Waylon asked him to come and talk.
If Burns hates Smithers, why not find a new worker? Yes, Waylon is super competent in everything he is doing, but still. Why not... like, NOT hand out with him out of work? But no, they still randomly together.
Previously Waylon had no problem with Burns schemes, he actually enjoyed them and enjoyed being part of them. Ok. Now he wants to get better, I can take it. BUT. Why not find any other job??? They could EASILY explain it as "he's still madly in love with Burns, even if they disagree on moral questions" (like they did Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn in her show). But nooooo. He just randomly have pictures of his ex and not showing any affection toward Burns? And Monty being extra harsh and distant for no reason at all?
Thanks, I hate it so much!
Same. :(
Burnsmithers content recommendation list:
Prohibition:
Probably what I'd consider essential reading, this fan comic is probably responsible for why half of us are in this fandom and ship these fellas. Based off of that one episode where Springfield is forced back into the prohibition era. Smithers and Burns talk about the funs of exploring the taboo.
I Know My Wealth, But That Is All:
Over 123,781 words of delicious juicy content! I definitely think this fic series and the content EinMondsoldat produced during this time caused a revival in the fandom! I recommend their content if you want to see Burns struggle with getting over internalized homophobia!
Da Capo:
Okay this one you definitely have to be in the right headspace for. Not for people looking for fluffy content. Warnings for: Abuse, drug use and drugging, nonconsensual sexual activity, basically overall depressing. See Smithers struggle with his feelings for Mr. Burns while his life collapses around him! (Also Smithers smoking a ton when stressed is one of my favorite headcanons! He is so relatable AAAAA)
A Wonderful Night For A Curse:
Obsessed with this one just for the fact alone that Smithers throws a dead body into a pig pen, like????? Amazing vampire Burnsmithers content. Perfect for Halloween time!
The Organization Man:
This one is 18+, but I absolutely love the idea of Smithers working for Burns as a hitman.
Wantshimsorely:
A great blog that's archived a lot of Burns and Smithers content from over the years!
I'll add more to the list! Feel free to suggest more to be added! I also want to add a list of all the episodes that Burns and Smithers appear in + all their comic appearances. I used to have a link somewhere, I might still have it.
