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)

I might be allergic to fairies

Me: *sitting in parked car with the window open*

Wind: *blows gusts through the nearby trees, sending sycamore seed-fluff in every direction*

Me: *entertained as the bits fly in the window*

Me: "These are like friendly little fairies! I can even hear kids laughing in the background, which is just perfect."

Me: *posts about it online*

Friend: "Ooh is it tree-fluff wish season?"

Me: "What do you wish for when you get a fluffy fairy down your shirt?" *fishing one out*

{one coughing fit later}

Me: "I suspect the answer to my question might be 'allergy medicine.'"

i really do hope deltarune asriel still has traces of being edgy. even in a world where he got to grow up and didn't have someone kill themself in front of him to change the trajectory of his life forever, i absolutely refuse to believe that that guy does not have issues. the popularity and the awards in his room are some kind of facade. problems and issues would find him in any universe

got so into video editing i forgot my head hurts

Why is it that when I say things people always seem to think there's some hidden message behind it?

Like, no, just because I stated that I like chocolate chip cookies doesn't mean I hate oatmeal raisin cookies? I literally never said that I did?

That's an oversimplification of when this usually comes up for me, but my point is that it's ridiculous. I don't understand why people come to conclusions that have nothing to do with my original statement.

really weird thing ive noticed lately re: hermits getting critiqued for stuff theyve said or done is that as soon as someone holds a shit opinion (even if it's just them being stupid, or a centrist, or saying a bad word without knowing what it means, or whatever) people immediately seem to flock to the 'this guy should die' 'kys' 'why are we giving this person a platform' rhetoric and like. that's not how meaningful change is made?

like, yeah, if one of my beloved CCs posted a tweet or video tomorrow about how much they hate gay people, or believe in conservative ideals, or they just said a bunch of slurs or whatever (these are hyperbolic examples obviously) then yeah, fuck them, they should go rot. but like, having some dumb takes, or saying bad things in the past, doesn't = evil terrible person...

idk, i feel like we can critique content creators without getting so insane about it. like, shit, there are things some of my favourites do that i don't like, but theyre not even really worth bringing up tbh. unless its something actually important, i feel like it just creates more drama out of nothing and all these assholes come crawling out of the woodwork to tell everyone how much they hate that creator. or find their content boring anyway so clearly they have no real merit to anyone.

more of an explanation of what i mean in the tags but yeah.

You ever just read a popular poll post reblogs and get fascinated by the opinions

[outsideyourhousewithaknife]

You HAVE to love the moment after your phone dies and you are left hunched over the screen, your eyes deprived of the blue light to which they have grown accustomed, your mind deprived of the distraction from the horrors of your reality, to behold your own image (reverse Narcissus) in all its double-chinned, acne-scarred, chocolate-stained and cheeto-dusted glory, and horrified by who you have become, and you are full of guilt and (remorse) exhaustion, and you are (entirely, devastatingly) alone, and you blink, and you get up, and you (cry) (look in the mirror?) go plug in your phone and get some more cheetos

No, really, you have to love it. It's the law.

Worst undertale ship?

I'm not sure how old this ask is, and I'm sorry for not answering it sooner!

I don't think any undertale ship is 'the worst', honestly. I don't like policing what people can or can't do with fictional characters (unless it crosses an actual moral line but I'm not getting into that), and I'm someone who crackships for fun, so I really can't judge people for what dynamics they find cool!

If you want my personal opinion, though, I think shipping Undyne with any male character, self-insert or not, is just kind of in poor taste. She's not explicitly a lesbian (unlike how Alphys is canonically bi) but I still headcanon her as one so seeing her with a dude is just... very blegh to me. But, again, that's just my personal thing, and there's no reason to act like my opinion has more weight than anyone else's when it comes to shipping, y'know?
