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

>gets into new thing >sees the character who is bpd and alter/osdd-coded >sees him die and also realises

>yeah i'll absorb him into my psyche anyways hi TOME fandom . i have a lot of thoughts and opinions and my main one is "why did kirb have to die" and "so we all agree that kirb and zet are 2 different people and idc if the show says he's just an alt account he's sentient right" . so anyways here's an au where he lives via tech shenanigans and also there's kirbalpha but with like a twist + hint of yumeshipping in there. more under cut if ur interested bwehgh ... also tagging @wolf-of-hearts bc you wanted to see my art :D hai

so this au takes place in a universe where the game re-opens after having been shut down, simply so they could allow all the drama around the forbidden power to die down (and fully fix things and really just ... rework the game from the ground up.) GC/Softdi still exists and still walks around as a normal player, but chooses to still stay with Alpha's group out of safety. (they were actually picked to be bug testers and are also considered honorary Netkings!) it reopens and everything's fine, but ... kirb is still in the game. his model and his ... entire being, still left behind to persist in the aether of TOME. when kajet corrupted his model, he also basically severed him and his consciousness from Zetto, but this wasn't a problem since, well ... he was dead. but with the game being restarted, he exists again . and he realises that he's ... alone. the very game he loved so much , he was now trapped in and left to be isolation.

until Hype logs in (lil cosmic brownie bunny lookin thing!!) :3 Hype is a new player and basically winds up recreating Alpha's encounter with Kajet but its with them and Kirb, and Kirb isnt looking to destroy or anything, he just wants his friends back.

tl;dr their models fuse together and "why do i look like a FAG" "oh relax it's fine ur such a pussy" "DONT FUCKING CALL ME THAT???"

they find alpha and the gang in ;Lavendera , they meet up and ... shenanigans ensue. (aka zetto is NOT happy his own creation is alive and attached parasite-style to another player 😭) there's a bunch of other details + there's some kirbalpha stuff going on (kirb gets jelly of flame, yadda yadda , dw they end up in a cule its okay 😭) but this is really like. self indulgence for the sake of it. is it messy and doesnt make sense. yeah. is it still fun? yeauh.

anyways umm thats it i think :3 ok byeee

Although I absolutely had a great time at the production of Pride and Prejudice I saw last night, staged by a local theatre group (there truly is nothing like laughing along to some of Austen's dry wit in a room full of people) some of the changes made were quite... startling??? Which was understandably because the bulk of the action had to take place in the drawing room at Longbourn. But still, the more I think about it, the more I'm tickled (if a little frustrated).

It was all going well until Darcy's 'tolerable' comment was only reported on by Mrs Bennet the next day. Not seeing him say it really made such a difference. Then, I was surprised when the first time we actually saw Elizabeth and Darcy interact was at a substitute for the party at Lucas Lodge, except it happened at Longbourn, and they used the dialogue where Darcy asks if Elizabeth wishes to seize the moment by dancing a reel, which takes place later at Netherfield.

Honestly they toned down Darcy so much, he really didn't seem that bad and it was kind of difficult to understand why Elizabeth disliked him so much. The proposal wasn't nearly mean enough either, he insulted her connections once but again, it was difficult to believe she would be so against him.

The first act ended with the proposal and I was honestly having a great time. It featured so many lines that are usually left out of adaptations which I really appreciated, like Caroline teasing Darcy about his mother-in-law and how Elizabeth's eyes will be impossible to capture by any artist. But then, the second act began and it reminded me a lot of this image:

We didn't see or hear the letter from Darcy, just Elizabeth returning to Longbourn and discussing some of its contents with Jane. Then, the narrator explained that Elizabeth went to stay with her aunt and uncle in Derbyshire and encountered Mr Darcy there, who invited her to Pemberley and they found him much improved. But we didn't see it, or hear the good account of him from Mrs Reynolds? Honestly, if I didn't know the novel, I would've been quite confused about how Darcy changed or, indeed, if he even did and perhaps why he even needed to.

Buuuuut I won't be too harsh on anything else because other than those points it was genuinely enjoyable! Mr Collins, Mrs Bennet, Caroline and Mary were particular standouts, and Elizabeth was excellent!

And the limits of the production also amused me in some ways, as they had to come up with creative ways of getting characters alone for conversations. Some highlights included:

Wickham and Elizabeth having their conversation about Darcy at Mrs Phillips's alone in another room while everyone else was playing cards because Elizabeth was?? tired??

Mr Collins dragging Lady Catherine and Darcy off (after they had accepted his invitation to dine at Hunsford Parsonage... pffft) to show them a watercolour he had purchased. Which Lady Catherine abused as ugly and told him off for not consulting her before he purchased it.

Mr Bennet complaining servants had invaded his library with brushes to clean it, so could he speak to Lizzy about Lydia going to Brighton in private.

Overall, it was definitely far more of a comedy than anything else. Which I honestly didn't mind, it worked very well with the audience. Although there was disappointingly little pride or, indeed, prejudice, it was a very fun evening out and it's a novel absolutely intended to be heard aloud!

i have officially returned. ask me anything.

[pwurrz]

every time i think about how triggering and traumatic yakumo’s last event must have been for him (involved with weird cult shit again, kidnapped and put in a room exactly like the one him, eiden and olivine were put in at the academy, forced to witness the brutal genocide of yokai, attacked and nearly killed for openly looking like a yokai/using his yokai powers, watched as the last remaining yokai of the island was forced to sacrifice himself to protect an island inhabited by people who couldn’t care less if he lived or died, etc), i shake just the slightest bit more with rage.

only a little bit more at a time, and yet, somehow i’m already vibrating with enough energy to produce a level of heat that rivals the sun.

seen ppl on Twitter all "Carla doesn't cook but here she is chopping veggies for Lisa" and I will not be hearing this, no no no, Carla does cook, she's just frequently bad at it, and what I find so mind-bendingly endearing about that is that she doesn't let that stop her. she always keeps trying at it (except on Christmas Day), and sod what anyone says about it

"I can't hear you over the sound of the eight billion glasses and plates clinking, and the very high possibility that I'm going to lose my job, and the fact that everyone at this charity dinner hates me but we have to act nice to each other, and the weird lighting in this room, and these fucking Spanx!" - Katherine Hastings, probably

“oh wow aphmaus back thats so cool-”

JESSICAAAA!!! DROP ANOTHER SEASON OF MERMAID TALES AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!

[in-tua-deep]

So I followed you years ago for the first season of tua. It has been years and now tua has come to an end. I just watched the final season. Did you or will you watch it? I might not be able to recommend it. Which is such a shame. The first season was amazing and will be forever one of my favorite shows.

I have a terrible confession to make…

I’ve only fully watched season one of the umbrella academy. I started season 2 and haven’t finished it yet 😭

[milfbrainrot]

i actually don't remember what the case was when orphan black had delphine get shot and left for dead, but i remember since this was after lexa all the lesbians boycotted and suddenly she was alive in the next season.

that's lowkey what these answers are giving rn lmfao.

(and to be clear i'm not really sad about siuan from a bury ur gays perspective - it's the possible racism. all the lexa aftermath shit is just what's most prominently embedded in the fandom representation controversy part of my brain.)
