#also edwin payne would love poirot and no i don't accept criticism

[lacertae-dreamscape]

i don't think i would be able to make this into a one-shot because its more of an idea rather than a fleshed out anything but like

i still think that together with Edwin slowly opening up to exploring his sexuality, he would finally realise it's alright to explore the things that modern times allow, even if he's a ghost.

there's new literature, there's movies and cinema, and music.

i just. Edwin allowing himself past the comfort bubble he forced himself into when it was scary to let change in before change happened on him anyway. allowing himself the power of control of finally stepping out of his comfort zone

what modern new music would he enjoy, when he allows himself to stop being judgemental on purpose against all new things?

its wishful thinking but i would love to see him enjoy both things like enya and loreena mckennit but also like. nightwish

wishful thinking bcs im a fan of all of those but like.

the thrum of deep bass would be something i think even a ghost could *feel* bcs its like. sound waves.

but also back to nightwish.

less than a headcanon more of a wishful thought of me.

Nemo. Walking in the air. The entirety of the Imaginaerum album (rest calm, i want my tears back...)

but in general, just Edwin allowing himself to like new things without reason or care. just allowing himself to be open about things and just. genuinely enjoying them.

what music would you think he'd enjoy?

also: equally important is edwin learning about science fiction and loving it, from the early stories up to asimov and more modern ones.

i feel like he'd absolutely like asimov's elijah baley books its still detectiving just in space

once again this is mostly wishful thinking bcs im tisming all over edwin SO.
