“ these should be sufficient. ” the basket he carries is laden with every toy he’d been able to find - educational, sure, with the occasional plastic doll tossed in at the behest of the associate who had been helping him. she had been nice enough, but had cast strange sidelong glances at him when he lingered and ruminated over which abacus would be the most intellectually stimulating for callie to play with. three weeks old, and he’s already thinking towards the future. egon looks down at the basket, then back to the wall in front of him, hesitantly selecting a stuffed rabbit from the shelf and turning it over in his hands. soft, no choking hazards, but sufficiently cuddly. she ought to be pleased with it. “ what do you think? ” he asks, turning to the individual in the aisle beside him, “ fitting for a one month old girl? ”    /    open !!!

when Charles Bukowski said "and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want. what do you call it, freedom or loneliness?"

This has been on my mind for long but I’m gonna do this - please reblog this if you’re comfortable with pre-establishing relationships. I do not mean “met at the grocery store two weeks ago” or “have a common friend”, but rather stuff like “have been best friends since kindergrden”, “go for a beer every friday”, “friends with benefits”, “dated in highschool”, “hate each other’s guts because -insert reason-”  etc. Something meaningful (but not necessarily shippy) and I mean with muns/characters you have not interacted with, because I cannot believe I am the only one who prefers jumping right into the heart of the human interaction.

today on ‘mot uses their psych degree’: an explanation as to why egon tries to drill a hole into his head in college!

it’s called trepanation! it was a precursor to what we know as lobotomy, dating back to the middle ages and possibly earlier. it was originally used for relieving pressure on the brain from things like hematoma and brain lesions by removing a small segment of skull, but in the 50s/60s some doctors and psychiatrists reasoned (still unproven) that it would be helpful for increasing cerebral metabolic rates and thereby increasing the brain’s energy output/capacity/function. there are several accounts of individuals documenting their attempts at self-trepanation and the outcomes, so it stands to reason that egon absolutely read these accounts and wanted to try it out for himself, human guinea pig style. ~the more u know~

addendum: there’s also been some suppositions that trepanation helps with psychiatric concerns like depression and anxiety, but this has never been proven - the sad alternative of this little meta is that egon does it to alleviate his anxiety, but i will spare you that avenue of meta today
