Piper: So.. How'd ya end up stuck in the gutter? If ya don't mind me askin'.
Balan: I'd.. Really prefer not to talk about it. Don't wanna get too hysterical..
Piper: Alright. Ya don't hafta say anythin' if ya don't want to. But hey. Just remember: If ya need someone to talk to, I'm always gonna be here.
Balan: Thank you. I appreciate it.
Piper: .... Ya may not be in the mood, but... Ya wanna hear a joke? Balan: Oh? Well then, go ahead and tell me.
Piper: Okay then. Ever heard of the guy that invented the knock-knock joke?
Balan: No, I can't say that I have.
Piper: Well, he won the "No-bell" prize!
Balan: Oh! *Balan starts to laugh*
Piper: Wow.. That joke was actually pretty bad.
Balan: Oh, that was wonderful! I was not expecting you to be so funny!
Piper: Hehe. Thanks.
Balan: Do you happen to have any more jokes?
Piper: Oh I got plenty more where that came from.

Hello. I decided to draw this because I couldn't sleep. This is a fanart for @lady-amethyst18 for her AU called Lonesome Maestro. I've read a bit, and it got me hooked. So I drew this picture of Balan talking with my OC, Piper. Also, I'm sorry if Balan looks slightly cringe. It was my first time drawing him, ever. I sorta had to improvise for his finishing touches just to make sure I was satisfied with how he came out, but I think I did okay for my first try. ^.^

Okay, I got two episodes to burn through (pun intended), and apparently we won’t find out until May if the show is getting renewed, so I’m a little peeved, but, here we go.
Last time on Quantum Leap: A whole bunch of Hannah.
Also, fucking Gideon indirectly forced Magic to throw himself under the bus.
Meanwhile in 2026/2024, Jen (in my head) spent a whole real time week trying to talk Magic out of this.
“I can’t imagine this place without you.” Well, if NBC decides to play fucking ball, maybe we won’t have to.
“Stay for one last leap?” “Not this time.” Show, I already said NBC was on thin ice with the on the nose shit.
And Ben leaps into that one level of Balan Wonderworld, so you know he’s in Hell.
“I’m a firefighter. Cool.” Ben, you are in the middle of a fire.
Oh goody, the TV committed suicide.
“We were testing my new circuit board-“ Either this kid is Hannah’s son, or he’s Kid Gideon. The literal only two options.
“Your dad is gonna be okay.” “That’s not my dad, he’s my neighbor.” Oh, so he can die then, cool.
“My dad died a couple years back. We all thought a heart attack would get him, but then he ran a red light.”
New Jersey fucking claims another victim…
“…mom, why are you looking like you know the firefighter? Does this have to do with that Cairo thing dad mentioned a couple years ago?”
And Ben is about to give Ziggy a stroke by exploring the stock market, and luckily Hannah is smarter than that.
Plot twist: Ben somehow caused that car accident.
“Hey, Ben, I know you’re in the middle of Hannah shit, but I gotta tell you about the Gideon plot now, sorry.”
Okay, so Ben’s guy is about to retire, shot in the dark, the leap has to do with him dying on the job.
Okay, I am now confident in my guess that this leap or the next will retcon Gideon from the plot if you’re doubling down on Magic “leaving”, I am confident.
“Whelp, I shoved a plant into a box, time to go.”
“You should have let them fire me.” Ian, no offense, but I am willing to bet Gideon is gonna demand all of you quit.
“Look, Jenn, I know you kept wanting me to not do this, so as a prize, you’re New Magic.”
So yeah, Magic is totally gone from the show for real, definitely gone- so anyway, back to Hannah.
“It’s been three leaps. I had some fun in the 80s.”
“Do I look old?” Hannah, you haven’t aged a day since 1948.
Ben, once again, unless you caused that car crash, stop blaming yourself.
Hannah is the key to Quantum Leap.
“This is the last episode I’m in, Ben. To celebrate, explosion.”
So, the plot has been hijacked by the Transformers, got it.
Okay, so now we’re doing The Towering Inferno.
CALLED IT
“Lady, stop acting like I’m talking to ghosts, I’m a firefighter, and you ain’t.”
“20 years of experience” is basically the Get Out of Jail Free card for this leap.
This is turning into the plot of a Webster episode…
How many fires has Hannah seen in her life, goddamn…
Ben, Hannah has seen Nazis and the ending of Red Dead Redemption, a fire ain’t nothing by comparison.
“The chagrined look on your face tells me Addison says I’m right, so I win.”
“HEY, WHEN SOMEONE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR, YOU ANSWER IT!” Fucking mic drop.
Great, now the fire is chasing you.
“We gotta go through the fire.” “Fuck that shit, even if this is our fault!”
And Gideon has been ripping out the wires… Or it’s because Ian had shit timing, either or.
And Hannah has decided this burning building needs a love triangle.
“The one thing I did that actually worked”, my ass. Ben, you kicked cancer’s ass last week.
“Look at this from a cosmic perspective.” Hannah, the last time someone said that in this show, they were looking to be stuck in the Imaging Chamber for 1600 years.
And now the Fire Sheilds are armed.
Hacking into the power grid to defend the rock, roll goddamn tide.
I love how this looks like a music video.
The fire is angry!
There, they escaped the music video.
…is Hannah gonna die this leap?
I actually admire the fact Jeffery didn’t sneak back inside to get Josh’s stuff. [And three… two… one…]
“I know I just inhaled a bunch of smoke, but I just solved the plot-” “Ben, the building exploded again, that means Jeffery snuck back inside.”
Ian is having his Khan moment, everyone is doing great mentally.
“Math’s just not mathin’.”
So, the DARPA code should be in a museum, got it.
Jenn, stop acting like Magic ain’t immediately coming back.
Hannah, it’s bad enough Ben keeps blaming himself for shit…
And now the fire is retaliating.
God is fucking pissed at you all this week.
“Look, I know I’m pinned, but Jeffery’s more important.”
If Hannah does this episode, then this is a shitty way to go, dear god…
And Hannah decides now is the time to solve the plot.
Jeffery, it’s your own fault this is happening, stop being bitchy.
Jeffery, if you don’t want to see a grown man cry, leave now.
ANNNNNNND THEY FORGOT TO GRAB THE DARPA FILE.
“Time isn’t a river. It’s an ocean. Hopefully you trapped that file from my apartment.”
And Hannah dies…
“Let me use my dying breath to fix your relationship problems.”
Crawling on the ledge of a burning building. If I had to do that, I would instantly die.
Yeah, Ian, just type shit!
…is that constant idea gonna be the thing to undo the time skip?
The only way is down. I would 100% die on the spot.
How is Ben not shitting himself in fear as he does this?
“I know you’re scared! I’m scared too!” NO SHIT
“Choose courage! Jump from the exploding building!”
“Let’s go save your mom!” Ummmmmm…
And back into the music video we go.
Oh, cool, Hannah still has life in her…
NBC, seriously, you need to renew this show.
And Ben gets bailed out by a mention of retirement.
“Tell her thanks. She knows.” Fuck yeah she does, she was the only one to solve the plot.
And Hannah’s code turns out to be Stop ‘n’ Swop.
And in comes the armed gunmen.
“I wanted Ian fired. Magic didn’t do that, so, fuck it.”
Hannah got a sneak preview to this movie, Ben, she doesn’t need to see it.
And Jeffery is about to learn about Ben.
I love how Hannah is getting the kind of goodbye montage a show does when a character dies… despite not being dead.
“I wrote DARPA code to get you home, Ben. I even had a file in my apartment containing the data, you grabbed it, right?”
“…lady, why was I hugging you?”
And Gideon decides to be an even bigger asshole than he was prior, so Addison decides to steal a gun.
Addison, don’t play chicken with the universe here…
…so, they have the spare keys to Beth’s house, I take it?
One down one to go. Gideon is 100% gonna get retconned.

Every other Maestro has tried their best to get Qui to do ANYTHING but he still won’t budge. Endymion then takes it upon himself to show Qui a bit of tough love. Will his methods work?

A picture of the novel I loved reading!
I recolored it for a reason. I thought to myself: what if each of the twelve Inhabitants' heart fragments from the novel were in different colors that represented them?
As you can see, I colored this crystalline heart red to represent Jose.
The first fragment: Represents the part of Jose that wanted to protect his family.
The second fragment: Represents the part of Jose that didn't let any hardship keep him down.
I'll color more, but in the order they went in the novel.
So up next is Bruce Stone's heart!

Going feral again but I can't/won't fully reword a chat so here's the short of it, spoilers for Balan Wonderworld, both the book and game:
Balan is doomed by the narrative, fated to become Lance.
In more detail; Focusing on the book, near the end, Balan and Lance have a talk. Lance tells Balan he was once Wonderworld's Maestro- that he was once Balan- and that Balan will one day become Lance. I think these names are like titles, Balan being the equalizer, and Lance being a sort of figurehead or leader of the Negati. Something along those lines anyways.
Balan insists he won't be like Lance, that he won't share the same fate as the other, for Lance to reply that 'That's what i said too'. Loosely paraphrasing, but this is so so interesting.
This implies this had gone on at least one cycle- that there had at least been another Lance.
I think this goes on for much, much further than one cycle. I think this is just how Wonderworld works. A Balan is created, ends up corrupted to become a Lance, and a new Balan is created.
As to what exactly happens in this cycle, I'm unsure. I theorize they're either the same two beings, reincarnating or in some way renewing the other should two Lances exist,
Or, and one I personally believe, is that one Lance 'disappears' into the very existence of Wonderworld, and a Balan is created in their place. I'm having difficulty describing it fully, so I'll go to my main questions;
Who is in control of Wonderworld? Did anyone make Wonderworld- and if so, who? Is Wonderworld sentient in some way?

Since balan gets a lot of affection from visitors, do you ever think that not receiving any will make him feel touch starved?
I personally don't believe so, not from visitors. Balan certainly loves positive attention, sure, but I've always imagined it as more of a therapist-patient sort of relationship. So Balan is never truly that close to anyone who comes through the doors, and enacts a healthy set of boundaries with every visitor. This is kind of reinforced in the game/novel as well, due to the fact Balan seems to have a good hands-off approach with a majority of the trials and time spent in Wonderworld. He's there to oversee things, and offer some guidance every so often (albeit, in a very non-helpful, cryptic af manner), but he isn't close with the visitors most of the time.
- We can also kind of see it in his reactions to Leo telling him to buzz off and even be rude to him sometimes. Balan doesn't really react one way or the other to it, his response is to simply shrug it off.
Though to be fair, I'd say the end of the game sort of shows that this slips sometimes, albeit very rarely. I'd personally say this is due to the events of the game/novel being particularly hard for all of them, even Balan, so he loses himself in the moment. Perhaps those hearts had been trapped for a longer period of time than any others, so the relief of having them finally repaired again was infectious. But even when Emma and Leo go in for the hug at the end, Balan still pushes them away after a moment and immediately returns to his usual self, so I don't think it lingers in any form. Besides, he'll see them all again at some point or another, so I don't think he's too upset about anyone leaving
