Not my main au idea but something fun.
So one of the lodgers accidentally turns Henry into a little kid. At first a newly turned Henry acts timid, nervous, and afraid because he has no idea where he is or what is going on. The lodgers think that it will be easy to take care of kid Henry since adult Henry is so polite and a gentleman. That is until kid Henry is more comfortable and calm. It turns out kid Henry is like a mini Edward Hyde. Causing chaos and grief for most of the lodgers. The only people he’ll listen to are Rachel, Jasper, Virginia Ito, and surprisingly Frankenstein. It’s mainly hilarious antics performed by “The Spirit of Mad Science!” (Yes that is what kid Henry calls himself).
Can you elaborate more on Spencer wanting to make Henry dependent on him?
Would he do the same to Edward ? Like in the episode Edward the great?
Spencer trying to manipulate Gordon's friends?
spencer has some kind of weird toxic gay crush on henry. he's always liked men who are (in his opinion) in distress because they open an opportunity for spencer to swoop in and save them and feed his ego. henry's personality in spencer's head has been altered and dumbed down so severely to match his fantasies where spencer is henry's knight in shining armor who protects and takes care of him while henry is the damsel in distress who's waiting for big, strong spencer to take him away. this guy is a grade A freakster. henry just ignores spencer like he's scraps on a dinner plate and silently prays for his downfall.
after the events of the beast from sodor, spencer gained a microscopic smidge of respect towards henry. it's frankly embarrassing for him because henry's the one protecting spencer instead of the other way around like he envisioned. it doesn't stop him from annoying henry whenever he gets the chance. once, spencer left a note inside nwr 3's cab "call me if gordon's bothering you xxx-xxx-xxx <3 -S.S.G." and henry had to resist the urge to jump and dive head first onto the rocky road after finding it
speaking of gordon, spencer knows that if he DID manage to pull henry, gordon's gonna be extremely pissed off because 1) gordon is his cousin 2) gordon has been fumbling henry for around one and half a decade through gold dust-fueled mind-twisting situations yet they never ended up together and 3) spencer’s gonna have another insensitive stand up comedy material besides "dead siblings" and "dead father" which just excites spencer even more
edward isn't really spencer's type (wise, can stand his ground, etc) and he knows the older man can see right through him, so he's not interested in chasing after him. also henry will NEVER EVER return spencer's feelings mainly because he's just so annoying instead of the fact that spencer has ulterior motives for him and spencer will always remain having a one-sided crush/twisted infatuation/etc for henry
I’m just as feral for this moment as everyone else and I know a lot of ppl are talking about how Henry’s leading here…BUT MAY I REMIND YALL WHAT PROCEEDS THIS?!
Alex secluding Henry only to pin him to a table in front of a founding fathers portrait to make out and then LEAVING 7(5, thanks Amy) minutes in heaven by saying:
“You are gonna go be, like, five hundred feet away from me for the rest of the night, or else I am going to do something that I will deeply regret in front of a lot of very important people. And then,” Alex says, and he grabs Henry's tie again, close to the knot, and draws his mouth up to a breath away from Henry's. He hears Henry swallow. He wants to follow the sound down his throat. "And then you are going to come to the East Bedroom on the second foor at eleven o'clock to-night, and I am going to do very bad things to you, and if you fucking ghost me again, I'm going to get you put on a fucking no-fly list. Got it?”
Jekyll: I am the left brain, I am the left brain. "I work really hard until my inevitable death" brain. You've got a job to do, you better do it right and the right way is with the left brain's might.
imagine alex hiding a dog allergy cause he doesnt want to upset henry knowing how important david is to him. but also he's mildly dying in his own brownstone 🤣
I need to rant about it sometime bc I'll explode otherwise but Grant and Darryl are my favorites and the small waterfall interlude post-Ballsdeep and pre-Oakvale in S1 Ep38. I was gonna cry like it's so unreal how much Darryl loves Grant.
It will be carved into my heart. The small scene where Darryl gives Grant a hug and goes " Bear Hug... you're gonna get wet. SALMON!" and jumps into the water with Grant. CLUTCHES AT MY FACE.
It's like a mini-parallel to how he jumped and caught Grant midair in ForKnights. Like he's so protecting and he definitely grew more as a character but it's small touches like that where like yeah..... He was always a good dad.
