Coronation Street | Carla Connor + Daisy Midgeley (14th April 2025)

[the-nysh]

What do you think Genos' reaction would be if he discovered that Saitama's mental health depends on him? And it's not just the "oh I would be so sad" type, is the "I would lose myself and I wouldn't even care about destroying the Earth" type.

You see....I was incredulous that after Genos absorbed his core's future memories, he failed to connect the dots that Saitama went that far because of him. That it was his death that made Saitama snap to the point of almost destroying the earth (and blowing up Jupiter) without a care. Alarmingly so. And then you realize Genos' own death was barely a concerned blip on his own radar (believing Saitama could just magically 'fix' everything no matter what happens.) Flabbergasted that his own disregard, self-worth and insecurities would fester under the ~splendor of Saitama's greatness~ to internalize such a colossal misunderstanding that 'he means nothing to Saitama'......D: Just...*violently shakes his shoulders* Genos baby, no. (His - and well, their chronic obliviousness, miscommunication, and dramatic irony reaching critical levels of frustration here)

Ahem, all that is to say...is that ONE is certainly aware. And if mp100's Separation Arc tells us anything, we can bet ONE's got this unresolved conflict in their relationship slowly simmering on the backburner for now, to be addressed all in due time. (Because the manga's already shown us their cautionary 'bad ending'; what's left is for them to progress where that doesn't happen again.) So will Genos ever learn (his own worth) how much he actually means to Saitama, and will Saitama ever consciously acknowledge how much Genos means to him?? As his very important emotional anchor tethering his sanity and humanity? Without conveniently forgetting, taking Genos' presence for granted, or continually sweeping it under the rug, leaving 'tomorrow's problems to tomorrow's him'?? I'd say only til ONE deems the time is right...

The Syd Poll

the topic of this poll is one that is frequently avoided in the pink floyd fandom, but inevitably one we all consider – our individual views on what we think caused syd's psychological struggles (and by extension, led to his departure from the band). I think that – at least in this neighborhood of tumblr – this is a conversation we are capable of having in a way that is civil, nuanced, and at least minimally disrespectful to syd.

So, to help facilitate this, here are some ground rules:

let's all assume we have a mutual understanding of the complexities of this. syd could never actually be reduced down to a poll, and all of our viewpoints are limited in various ways

the poll options just serve as just a conversation starter, and responses are not necessarily a statement of absolute beliefs

feel free to discuss as much or as little of your own perspective as you feel comfortable sharing.

in the case that debates break out, please try to assume good intent – and also demonstrate it (unless, for instance, someone is being blatantly insulting beyond a misunderstanding that needs correcting)

please do NOT vote if you are not actually a pink floyd fan with at least basic knowledge about what we're talking about here.

The options I've included below are not meant to be exhaustive, they are simply the "theories" that I have seen most commonly circulated. I have also decided not to include combinations. I'm fairly sure we'd all agree multiple factors were involved. Rather than make the poll too complicated, I ask you to instead select the one that you think is the "most" important to your viewpoint, and clarify further in your tags/comments as you wish.

so. here we go.

READ BEFORE VOTING ^^^^

(note of correction: "late-onset schizophrenia" should just be "schizophrenia". the typical timeline for onset of symptoms is late adolescence/early adulthood, so syd would've been well within that period at the time)

last graduation celebration of my medical training happened last night and it was so beautiful and touching; for the first time it felt real and in that same sense, final. it felt like the perfect way to close the curtain on this phase and the start of the next.

goodbye academia. hello the rest of my actual life.

Okay @dr-docktor @szollibisz @smytherines thank you so much for being interested I wasn't expecting this fdkhghkks

So the reason I originally said "context it's in makes this kinda comical to say tbh" is because the au I was thinking of is in fact a My Little Pony au which I have been thinking about a lot over the past few days. (I am cringe and I am free.) Typical thing of me starting off making something just meant to be a silly quick exercise and getting completely side-tracked and taking some smaller/more specific things way too seriously.

I think I'm going to make a separate longer post now to talk about some of my ideas in more detail which you will be able to check out if you're interested, but the kinda tl;dr of the idea I'd had is this: if Curt is a pegasus in the au (which is a bit of a big 'if' - I have some fun ideas relating to it but they also require some pretty significant logistical wrangling in order to get them to work properly in a way that makes sense to me - I've also thought about the alternative of him being a unicorn), the Torture Tango presents an opportunity for Owen to specifically target Curt's wings - and if he really wanted to, he could probably do some permanent damage. And there are reasons not to have him do so (relating to the aforementioned logistical wrangling as well as things like when I would want certain pieces of information to be revealed in a hypothetical show format, whether this is too close to blowing Owen's cover, whether it properly works for/makes sense in the scene, and also whether it goes too far past a line that I don't know if Owen crosses in the show) but also. The possibility is there.

I do not envy my friends that are getting various Arts degrees. Like I get that they have a reputation for being 'easier' for some reason, but I am sitting here suffering through my mandatory language and humanites courses, wishing I could just take more science instead

They have so many papers due all the time. I get to sit in a lab and look at rocks. I am never complaining about science again

since it may take a while, ill probably end up adding virch.e everm.ore and myst.ic messeng.er muses alongside my new theme set up (or at least possibly the pages for them to go into)

Gf and I got ourselves a cheap roomba for christmas to try and turn the “should the floor be covered in cat litter” wars in our favor, which means I have been reading the reddit posts of people who own more expensive roombas. and it is SO funny to watch people discover and address the problems all robots have. “my $1500 vacuum stops working when the lights are off” yep! lots of depth sensors work best under bright lights! 100k robot systems have the same problem I am shaking your hand. “i had to install a smart lighting system in my house to turn the lights on in whatever room it was in to make it work” hell yes, true autonomy. robotics paper-ass solution. Objectively hilarious.

oscar wilde and his works is like a dormant obsession to me because like I can be normal about him but then I read something either about him or of him and all I want to do is read more and more and more

I'm actually kind of excited to find out how tadc ends tbh. I can't wait to see what kind of ending I get to write for plastiscene :3

I've got my Bering and Wells gift exchange fic fully outlined now 🥰 I'm sooooo excited to bring it to life.

Okay, ATLA update for @purple-hel: it does get better. The first, like, 5 episodes I really struggled with -- they feel very silly and "for kids", but after that they're starting to deal more with the premise of the Fire Nation war, getting more into character backstories and darker themes. Currently on episode 13, actually quite enjoyed it, however: it has not lost that "this is a show For Small Children" kind of silliness and also dialogue and plot construction, and while I like Aang and Katara and Sokka, the only character arc I'm actually invested in is Zuko's. It is also not nearly as deep (so far) as Tumblr implied, even with the Tumblr exaggeration filters applied.
