Elon Spengler, Lemon Tree

Founding and singular member of the Ecological Authority & Protection group Wastebusters. Kind of affiliated with the EPA. He/Him. Older (& better) of the Spengler twins. Always looking for new, earth-conscious persons, inquire within.

[wastebustersinc]

This blog of mine had a different name before Wastebusters Inc, however it was gently suggested that I change it to something more professional. No idea why the old name was not professional, but if it will reflect poorly on me then so be it, I will embrace the change.

Different tags are as follows:

🌳🌱 / 🌿🌻 - moving forward, this will be my replacement tag, previously used (#Elon Spengler) changed over on 2/5.

# Elon Speaks - general banter/replies

# Elons Playlist - music choices

# Elon Muses - general musings

(OOC) Please let me extend thanks for the outreach to myself and others and the concern following what happened. I will reiterate I will never condone what was said and done, and welcome will not be extended towards the user behind that Egon blog were they to dare and come back. My thoughts are with the others effected by this.

Understand I am logging out of this blog for the foreseeable future, but I am glad I got to read the messages. Groovy love your way.

[wastebustersinc]

Do not assume to know why I or anyone else stepped away. Keep me and my writing partners out of your gatekeeping narrative. Using outside powers to control your own skewed perspective of things is low.

[wastebustersinc]

(OOC) I don't like making admin posts but this is important for me to acknowledge: This current plot ongoing (Tiamat) involves more than just Elon. There are other characters, more importantly other people, involved. If your entire focus and worry is on one single party or person and you make other admins feel pressured or bad in order to just single out your wanted outcome, you are causing more harm than you realize, and shame on you.

We are people behind the screen. We do not just constantly have the mental or emotional energy to post long replies. If you want to talk to us, treat us like the humans we are and private message us. Do Not Vague Post or try to use a third party to juice or push actions or reactions. This is beyond disrespectful to everyone involved. Respect our boundaries, respect the time we take to craft the writing. This is not just your sandbox alone, we all share it together.

[wastebustersinc]

L + ratio + you literally had to possess a human to have any sort of power in this world whereas your sister didn't need to + literally what is your beef with Walter to have to resort to hypnotizing him + your snakes aren't even that cool + no bitches?

If you love Gozer so much why don't you marry them?

[wastebustersinc]

Hey Tiamat. Listen carefully. I need you to ask Elon if snake have butt.

[louistully1]

[Brunch with Sherman ran long. Louis sprinted to Elon's building and up the stairs to his apartment. A cab and elevator would only slow him down. He fixed his shirt before rapping on the door. Like hell he was gonna stand to the side and not do anything.]

Elon, it's Louis! Look, I just want to talk. I'm not asking for anything else. I just... I need to see you. Please.

(@wastebustersinc)

[louistully1]

Have you no brain rattling around between your ears?

They are 𒀭𒋾𒊩𒆳! The mother of mankind, of the earth, of the rivers. Their image is carved into our very makeup. Their greatness has composed everything since before mankind invented the very concept of time.

[Leaning into Tiamat’s touch, basking in his reward, Walter’s eyelids fluttered dreamily. Visions danced behind his eyes of what Will be. His greatest desires, his heart’s most secret wishes fulfilled if he continued his unending fealty. The neverending pain and torment he and his loves would suffer if he didn’t comply. The slow, torturous deaths of all he cared for if the low whine of dissent in the back of his head ever grew loud enough for Tiamat to hear. More hot tears slipped down his cheeks.]

Their power is unspeakable. Their domain is chaos, may They reign forever in the glory of The End.

They’ve chosen us. Elon as Their vessel and I as Their king and servant. They’ve given us purpose.

"King and servant" Doesn't that sound a little backwards to you? I-I mean a king is, well he's a king! He uh shouldn't have to lift a finger to do anything for himself! And-and-and yet you're having to serve them? So what so that you don't die as quickly as everyone else?

[He desperately wanted, no, needed to be by Walter's side. To hold him and bring him back to reality. But his feet were as though they were nailed to the floor.]

Walter, I don't know what they've promised you or what purpose you think they're giving you, but it's all a lie! You're crying for Pete sake! I haven't seen you cry like this since... since... since we got back from Florida.

[He fell to his knees.]

I know you both can hear me. The real Walter and the real Elon I mean. I'm gonna get you both out of this. Somehow.

[wastebustersinc]

The Real Elon? How do you know what the real is and isn't, Mister Tully? How do you know this human so well, or you only think you do.

( tiamat in elons body moved away from walter and began to pace the room while keeping their eyes trained on louis the entire time )

I have seen his thoughts, he was so easy to mold like clay. They key to breaking any weak link is to find the cracks. He worried so deeply about fitting into this cozy world, invading and desperately clinging, forcing his way into this circle.

He was smart, but not as smart as his brother and all those like him. He was kind, but not as kind as Janine and Faye. He was hardly brave, not to hold a candle to you, Tully, or his dear Rocket. He was aggressive but without purpose, and lacking empathy, unlike Walter. Everyone he has met here has a purpose. He is untethered. It was easy.

( they released a heavy sigh that glimmering like embers blown free by bellows )

But he was still so stubborn. Faced with his own reality and he refused to budge. I simply had to tweak his reality to reflect his fears, to reflect the fragility and inevitability around him.

[louistully1]

[His eyes remained fixed on Tiamat as she glided across the room back and forth. He didn't realize it, but he was shaking. Whether from fear or anger? He couldn't say.]

So you lied to him. You lied and manipulated your way inside. You cheated. I've only known Elon for a few months, but that's definitely longer than you have. I know enough about him to know he trusts me. He loves me.

He may not be a physicist like Egon, but there are things about this world that Elon knows that I doubt anyone else here would know. Things worth living to see. Things worth fighting for. You don't know the extent of his kindness either! You don't know the things he's said or what he means to me. You don't know his bravery like I do. How he ran halfway across Manhattan just to save Walter all while wearing heels and carrying me!

I can't speak for his empathy, but you don't know about his compassion for others. No one starts a non-profit for the wellbeing of the environment just because they feel like it. You know none of these things because you don't know the real Elon at all.

[A wobbly attempt to get to his feet.]

Purpose. Humans don't need to have purpose to be important. They don't need to be accomplished to matter or to be worth anything. But sure, uou think he doesn't have purpose. Well I can say with certainty that Elon Spengler has more purpose in his pinky than you could ever hope to see, Tiamat!

[wastebustersinc]

Proclaiming I have in any way cheated is the comforting lie you tell yourself to avoid the inevitable truth so to speak.

( their eyes narrowed defiantly starting the shorter man down despite him standing at full height, unevenly )

I have had more purpose than all of humanity can contain in their existence on this miserable planet, do you understand? What are one, two, three miserable little humans to a god?

What grander fate could there be than obtaining the purpose a god gives you

Out of the mercy of her heart?

[wastebustersinc]

YOU THINK SPEAKING IN MY TONGUE WILL PERSUADE ME FURTHER FROM MY INTENTIONS? THAT YOUR PRAYERS OF YOUR FALSE GODS WILL SWAY MY WANTS?

I HAD HOPED PERHAPS IN SOME OTHER DIMENSION YOU STUPID MANTHINGS WOULD BE SMARTER.

PATHETIC. DISAPPOINTED.

[dre-deactivated]

Denial? Huh. Denial.

So you admit you lied to him. You lied to him, and you lied to Walter. You offered promises that you’d never keep in exchange for a goal you’ll never reach.

…Not without me, of course.

I propose an arrangement. A contract. Whatever you like to call it. Humbly bound with a toast.

I know my chances of defeating a god twice are slim to none. I might as well cooperate in order to delay my death for a short while, before your rule begins.

I offer you my help, a promise sealed with libation.

[wastebustersinc]

What is a lie that god?

Lies are what humans, mortals, claim to be a falsity in their reality that can be explained away and ignored oh so easily. Lies are the lie themselves, gods see past that. Last the realities and see all possibilities.

I didn't lie.

I showed that while through the eyes of mortals this is merely one possibility out of many. And in most of those realities, what I said would be considered the truth, as empty as that word and meaning stand to be.

Forming a contract with a god is never a smart choice and yet you humans continue to do so. But who am I to turn such a proposition down?

What can you offer me.

[wastebustersinc]

[melnitz-speaking]

Hehehe.

Have fun

[evie-spengs]

[dre-deactivated]

It was not an attempt at persuasion.

It was a demand and a threat, 𒀭𒋾𒊩𒆳.

I’ll tell you again: Leave, or die. I have faced gods before, and won. I can do the same again.

I know the texts of your people. I know your weaknesses.

[wastebustersinc]

YOU.

I'VE SEEN YOU BEFORE, I KNOW THOSE EYES.

You know this vessel well, don't you? You've seen these eyes your entire life, your face looking back at you like a mirror. Reflecting everywhere you go.

I have seen his thoughts, I've swam in his dreams and seen his memories. I've seen his fears.

You are so very sure that leaving will be the only thing that I do? We have spent so long together, I could not bare to leave this dearest host, we have so much in common ... siblings who despise us, lovers who betray us.

YOU THINK I HAD TO FORCE MY WAY WITHIN? THE DOOR WAS OPENED TO ME.

[dre-deactivated]

He knows this face. You have absolutely no clue who you’re dealing with.

You are despised by your sibling. He is not.

You have had lovers betray you. He has not.

You took advantage of the door being opened to you. Had he known the door was open in the first place, he never would have let you in.

He is your host in the sense that you are a parasite. You do not belong in him, and you know what is done to parasites once they’ve been found. That’s why you hid for so long, isn’t it?

You were afraid. Afraid that someone would see you for the leech, no, the tick that you are, and kill you. You had to bide your time, feed and feed, engorging yourself until you felt ready.

But there’s one problem with that– the bigger the tick, the easier it is to spot.

[wastebustersinc]

Your brains and smarts are as true as I've seen and heard, they don't betray you.

Perhaps you are right. Had this pathetic human known what door he had foolishly left open he would have stopped me. I knew he was too stubborn and comfortable in the denial he had adopted as his life.

I merely had to twist the truth. Show him the broken mirror of his reality, help him see how the world truly saw him, treated him.

I was not the only one afraid.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀                ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀                ⠀⠀stop-

Drinking in dreams and returning nightmares, planting a seed of deception within himself and I simply nurtured it, but he allowed it to grow far beyond his control.

( the door swinging open with surprising force which was nearly enough to break it from its hinges and came to a forced stop before hitting into the wall all without the touch of a human hand.

the blonde one stood in the doorway all too casually leaning on one edge of the frame and staring down the smaller man without the aid of his glasses, eyes glowing unnaturally yellow, blue, then a red eerie glow coming from inside his pupils )

Louis ... I've been waiting for you ...

( the tall being lurched forward and took hold of tullys face with both hands in a tender caress, unnaturally long blackened fingers and nails framing his small face before that unseen unnatural force and combined strength of the taller one pulled the poor man inside, the door slamming behind them )

[louistully1]

[Louis stumbled inside, tripping over his feet. He steadied himself against the wall and noticed Walter draped over Elon's couch. Despite the redhead's dazed and blissful expression, tears were streaming down his face.]

Waiting for me? You uh... sure have a funny way of showing it, Elon. Was that it? Ignore my calls for a week so I would have to come over?

[He glared up at "Elon"]

The Elon I know wouldn't do that. Now you have about five seconds to explain what's going on or I'll-

(@walterpecks)

[walterpecks]

Do not speak to Her that way.

[Walter chimed in, fixing Louis with a scowl, his eyes still glassy and wet with tears.]

She owes you nothing, you pitiful little subcreature. She has come to bless us with the End of Time, and you will thank Her for it. Nothing less than your full submission will be met with death, and I will be glad to carry out the order. Insolent, despicable little worm that you are, you should have been grovelling before She opened the door.

[Seemingly satisfied with his declaration, Walter's eyes ran briefly over "Elon," and that same empty bliss returned to his face.]

[wastebustersinc]

( an unsettling grin had fashioned itself across Their expression visage and the glowing eyes had only become more intense as her dutiful worshipper attempted to silence their newest worm thrall. a low growling came from her their throat, all at once skin around her eyes swallowed and turned to scales, even the beautiful but messy blonde hair turned to snakes that coiled and curled similarly to the previously styled pompadour )

What makes you believe you can order me to tell you anything, little one?

You certainly are perceptive, I will give you that. But what could possibly make you think your Elon wouldn't do such a thing?

( stepping over to the couch their clawed hands lovingly caressed the ginger ones face, rewarding such dedicated loyalty )

Why, that Was his doing.
