Even if he doesn’t listen to ska, I think Doctor Steel would be a fan of The Aquabats! because of the fact that they live his ideals, of being creative, having fun, and doing what they truly want to do.
Looking over my old email exchanges with the Doctor brought a tear to my eye. He was always encouraging and helpful. It felt like he took delight in even the slightest good news Toy Soldiers had to offer, and was always excited to hear about new projects. It brought me to tears. It’s been almost three years now since I can say I was an “active” toy soldier, and almost two years now since I officially left and I kind of miss the old days.
Anonymous asked: To the soldier without their leader: The good doctor taught us to do what we want to be doing. To take what he taught us and go out into the world and find out what it is we love most.
I’m going to post this as a feedback ask, hope that’s okay!
Ever since reading homestuck and getting into the fandom I’ve been doing some pairings of Dr Steel either with other men or with some of the characters themselves, especially equius… I kinda feel creepy for doing so but hey, if people could crack ship dr steel with emilie autumn then I could ship him with a STRONG robot building troll who likes bondage. heh ^^; (could this be posted as a confession?)
Mod Note:
Yes. Yes it can. I even made them hold hands and look tsundere for you. ;3
And oh god that spilled milk looks really suggestive.
I think we forget that behind Dr Steel is an ordinary person like any of us (permitted he has an amazing mind) but he also has his problems like us all. He’s put a lot of his own time and money into, what I like to call “The Dr Steel Project”, but there’s only so much he can do on limitations. I believe we should respect his choice to suspend it, but at least hope sometime in the future he might dust it off and work on it again. Maybe not to the same degree, but enough to give us joy again.
I have based my life around the Doctor. What he believed, what he stood for. But now he is gone, and I’m just losing it. Everytime I think of him, it hurts. I’m even having trouble writing this. So, tell me, what can a soldier like me do without a leader? :’(
In all honesty I’ve only just found out about Dr. Steel from a friend of mine who also just discovered him as well, we both found him through the song Back and Forth then we watched his videos on Youtube. We both were so excited to see these and became obsessed. Then we found out he had retired, we felt very crushed that we couldn’t have joined sooner but we joined anyways so we could spread the word about the Doctor. Our confession is were obsessed with the Doc and we wished his idea came true.
Maybe I’m a fool for still believing, but I can’t help but imagine him out there, in hiding, building an army of robots, preparing for the day when he will return and rule over mankind with the skill and compassion every great world emperor should have.
I find him oddly attractive.
I still don’t believe he’s gone. Between several factors that I will not go into, I think he set it up to be a game. A game no one wanted to play.
