Anytime I think about Steve, Eddie, Chrissy or Robin as famous musicians, I have to hold myself back from adding a shit ton of Lady Gaga references.

Like in the 2010s Lady Gaga appeared for an mtv music award show as this rugged, unkept greaser type character she made up named jo calderone. He's kinda known as "Lady Gaga's boyfriend that is also lady Gaga in drag". Steve Harrington, teen popstar trying to get away from his overbearing label would show up to the red carpet in drag as Amanda Miller, the girlfriend his label chose for him. She is dressed how they have their other popstar darling, Chrissy Cunningham dress. Amanda Miller later shows up in one of his music videos after he leaves the label. Both appearances of Amanda Miller cause mass bi panic online.

Speaking of fellow teen popstar Chrissy Cunningham, she starts openly thanking God and the Gays for the successes in her career. The label hates it, but they deal or else she's not gonna thank God either, causing problems with her religious fanbase(the impact of only letting her make ultra clean love songs for years). Also the idea of Chrissy disrespecting the interviewers who disrespect her is so healing. Think about it. Like yeah she ate that guy's script, and she'd do it again if he asks about her diet.

For rockstar eddie? So in Lady Gaga's song government hooker there's a spoken bit(not the jfk line the "back up and turn around" one). Those lines are spoken by Gaga's bodyguard Pete, who has a very thick Dutch accent after Lady gaga suddenly brought the idea that he be the "pervy robot voice" up during production.

Like Eddie would so do this, as I think creating songs gives him a lot of almost maniacal energy. Also for this one, the bodyguard is Italian Steve, but he's Jeff's bodyguard who Eddie's been constantly flirting with. That's perfectly fine by Eddie's actual bodyguard, who needs "a damn second to fucking breathe, you hyperactive bastard".

Indie rock vocalist Robin Buckley would have an album where she sings in like four different languages outside of English like lady Gaga did in born this way. And also sing in other languages fairly often. It's most often in French(like lady Gaga does), but every time Robin starts singing in a language that isn't English, the fans will scramble to figure out what tongue she's singing/speaking in now and what is she saying? What does google translate say she's saying?

There's paparazzi photos of vocalist Robin standing next to Jeff from Corroded Coffin but she's chatting in Italian with... his body guard? Apparently they met as teenagers on a trip abroad and became best friends then pen pals after. But we guess it evens out as robin's makeup artist/one woman glam team was best friends with Eddie in high school? And she won the prom queen tiara that CC wears in their iconic album cover. I dunno, just something that's been haunting my brain.

#yeah that last paragraph has nothing to do with lady Gaga it's just the au idea. #if anyones asking who of them wears the meat dress pls know it'd be Chrissy. #Eddie would volunteer to jump off the top of a football stadium to start a set but no one even proposed that as an idea. #Robin would also play an infinite amount of instruments at the drop of a hat but gaga is only really seen w/ pianos so it didn't fit as wel #do I think in a modern au jo calderone would be Steve's bi awakening? hell yes I do. rewatchs the yoü and I mv just for the cornfield shots #steddie #buckingham #popstar steve harrington #popstar chrissy cunningham #rockstar eddie munson #singer robin buckley #polyglot robin buckley #bodyguard steve harrington #italian steve harrington #makeup artist chrissy cunningham #i dunno what Robin and Eddie would be in the teen pop stars Steve and Chrissy au but I do know #I can't have more than 2 of them as popular musicians in the same au #I also don't know how I'd involve the party in there either. but eh I kinda like the other one more. #lady gaga #stranger things #chrissy cunningham #steve harrington #eddie munson #robin buckley #st

Fics I'll never write:

Shadow and Omega get into a fight one day and Shadow ends the fight with "why are you so angry and unreasonable all the time, huh? Everyone says I needed a therapist, why don't YOU go see a therapist?" To which Omega laughs, of course, until Shadow says "I bet you wouldn't even last one second in a therapist's office."

So of course, E-123 "can't say no to any sort of challenge from the ultimate lifeform" Omega parks himself in the office of the specially-licensed GUN therapist the next morning.

And then the rest of the fic is from the baffled perspective of this poor therapist trying to figure out robot psychology. Both she and Omega are in agreement at first that therapy probably won't work on him since he's just a robot and that it'd be better for him to see a programmer-

-until the therapist starts to see some behaviors that look an awful lot like abandonment issues. And she has to convince both Omega himself and everyone else in her department that she's onto something and that talk therapy might actually increase his efficiency on the battlefield.

#I can't write this fic because I'm not a therapist lmao #I'd probably get everything wrong #I've always liked the headcanon that shadow has some sort of assigned therapist at GUN (got this hc from a fic I can't remember) #so it'd be funny to extend that to Omega as well #anyways. don't mind me proposing extremely OOC scenarios. but it would be funny to throw omega into therapy and see what happens #e-123 omega #sth

I'm still confused by the wedding-industrial complex, tbh

#take proposals #like one day basically shortly after we got together my gf was like I want to marry you #i was like that's nice #then another time not that long after she was like hey we should get married #and i was like um that's nice i'm not ready #and she was like yeah sure okay #so next time we're together in person (because we're long distance) she was like hey I want to marry you #and i was like well there are things we'd have to talk about such as kids and finances and what country to live in #and she was like sure yeah okay #then there was a pandemic and the inability to see each other and a lot of other things including discussions #and then i was like okay yeah i think that's a great idea i'd like to marry you #and she was like that's great i love you we still don't know where to live #and so after that she still periodically says we should get married #and asks me to marry her #and i ask her to marry me #and we always say yes #and eventually figure out where to live and start applying for visas etc etc #but when we mention we're engaged people always ask #how did she do it? #did you know she was going to? #who proposed to who? #like fuck idk when it even happened don't you propose to each other like every other day when you love each other? #and isn't marriage a much bigger decision than a single question #and then like my cousin who coined the term 'wedding industrial complex' told me she was getting married #and i was like cool do you know when the wedding is? #and she was like what? no. he hasn't proposed #and i was like . . . but you know you're getting married? #and she was like yeah we've discussed it and agreed #and i was like sooo....that's not a proposal? #and she was like no because he hasn't asked

Honestly while I adooore the "gaster is corrupting the secret bosses" theory, I have to admit it feels rather... Odd. Mostly because Spamton. I mean, for all we know all the voice in the phone did was help him get cash, what corrupted him was the religious insanity building up from the NEO body. But, actually, thinking of it, it'd make sense for the voice on the phone to make him into a big shot like it did because that was what allowed him to be close to the body on the first place so maybe it was like A Wicked Master Plan. But it still feels weird bc with Jevil they just walked up to him and were like dude guess what? and drove him insane. I guess it's a matter of time, maybe meeting our newer bosses will be able to reveal to us more similarities or more differences.

#luly talks #deltarune #there is one theory I'd assume Jaru proposed bc insane shit like that seems to be his thing but it'd have been some1 else idk #either way theory says the reason why we hear garbage noise isn't bc that's gaster but bc we're trying to call to a different... plane #of existence? #and i guess the reason why the mysterious person stopped answering spamton was bc they exited the DW #(and died since im sure the theory proposed it was Gerson who did this) #which is interesting to say the least #i mean thing w spammy tho is that what fucked him over in his words is the fact that he tried to see beyond or some shit like that #he says it in snowgrave #but unlike jevil who it sounds like he wasnt seeking some higher truth but just doing fuck all spammy sounds more responsible for his demise #but tbf we barely fucking know the details on jevil all we have to go off on is seam #spammy we have him the Addisons the boss fights the sweepstakes and q&a even a swatchling talks of him #Jevil is like. so forgotten even more #spamton #Jevil

The worst part is not that i procrastinated my term paper to the last minute. I always do that. The worst part is having to send my lecturer the topic proposal a week before the deadline which will undoubtedly be met with some extreme judgment of my time management and i am not in the mood for that

#like boy #if we didn't need to message you about the topic I'd have made one up a week from now and written everything #within 2 days #don't judge me for how i get this done #just evaluate the end result thank you very much #but ok i finally send him an email #you know what's funny is that I'm not even anxious about this #idk what happened to me but the usual panic and mental breakdown i have when it comes to proposing topics and #sending emails is just not present #I'm just so done lmao #i have my first quiz tomorrow morning in one lecture and i have to give my first peer tutoring session in another seminar #next tuesday which involves writing a 14 pages long summary of the topics of the last 2 lectures and then presenting it to my peers #and I have that interview on Tuesday as well #i love everything #at least time flies by this way #I've been counting days until i get back home and this way it feels like I'll be back in no time #(it's not that i hate it here. i just don't know what else to look forward to so seeing my dogs again seems appropriate #i just generally don't enjoy anything so this is not different which i knew beforehand #love to get judged for it ♡) #void screams #academic misery

The marine club should all get jellyfish themed outfits I think

#Kanata especially #puka puka blub blub yanno? #i just wanma see you Kaoru in frills #and Souma just deserves a pretty jellyfish outfit <3 #Kanatas could be blueish and Kaoru could get....I wanna say yellow but rosé could work too #for the babygirl vibes #and Souma gets violet #and there should be pearls #lots and lots of pearls #and #what's it called #tulle?

that moment when: everyone's lives are restricted and constricted and these imposed consequences are attributed to anyone's continual individual failures to seek, find, and follow the Correct Path through Life, and so everyone is left on their own to only be seeking & finding these failures as well as the only answer to how their lives can be better....versus Not seeing the world as the free marketplace meritocracy of everyone's personal failures/successes, nor everything in your own life, and thus not forever having to scrutinize Where You Must Be Bringing It Upon Yourself by fucking up or at least failing to do the correct thing, and exist only in perpetual punishment for your ongoing failure and occasional temporary reprieves from it. recognizing everything that wasn't & isn't & wouldn't be [this is because you're bringing it upon yourself] and thus having more capacity & capability to look at the realm of your personal individual self, reality, experiences, life through the perpetual instances of seeking, finding, and following your own needs/wants through one's inherent personhood and exercises of autonomy and recognition of where & when & how one recognizes moments of their existing freely & in more resonant genuine alignment with themself, you know? endless examples to be found in endless fractals of [where & how are people's lives made smaller]. and that of course this doesn't preclude the ability/option at any time to question one's choices, since you'll be able to find more Actual choices available to you (and, also crucially, find more actual choices made by others that are in the pursuit of limiting Yours) to look at, and people getting to exercise their autonomy isn't the same as "everyone doing anything they want regardless of how it affects others" since that [how does it affect others?] element instead being Regarded would be able to lead to recognizing that, in fact, an effect might be the infringement on others' autonomy, hence: There's A Problem....like the ability to just go ham with [questioning???] anything in existence, certainly including oneself, b/c the "norm" is such that rather you're only supposed to be able to question yourself for your failings (or those positioned as less than, thus, beneath you) and not even have the language to express a questioning of aspects of life beyond that b/c stop calling anyone "cis" they're just Normal, Just Be Normal and it would all be fine

being raised by psychologists is obviously inherently bad but among other things it comes with the interesting effect where i was raised to know exactly how people work and what action results in what outcome when it comes to relationships and communication and how those can be optimalised which sounds like a perk but it literally fucking sucks because whenever i do them (consciously or unconsciously) i feel like a fucking social interaction machine and also any advice on how to overcome social anxiety is completely useless because i ALREADY KNOW these things i just have a mental illness that makes me too nervous to do them. tldr how tf do you just approach a stranger with the intent of befriending them i'd rather set myself on fire

#like i already know all the mechanics of it and i have a lot of friends irl but i #literally have no idea how I'm meant to just approach people. i cant even #say ''im so bad at it'' bc I'm not anything at it. i just don't do it #again i know exactly what I'd need to do like mentally but i have like a #billion different issues bc /redacted/ i cant just do this!!!!!!!!! guh #yeah this is all bc i tried looking up how to overcome the very specific #anxiety of not daring to go up to people and just got a bunch of #psychology shit that I've known since i was like old enough to breathe #im not proposing a solution there rly isnt one it's just frustrating that this #isn't something i can find any further answers to bc I've had all the information #in my mind for years i'm just too fucked up to do anything to get better #barking

A code status is what you want the hospital to do if your heart or breathing stops, and we've got two basic options: full code which means we do EVERYTHING and Do Not Resuscitate or DNR which means we do less than everything. There's like little add-ons like intubated or not intubated, or blood products or no blood products, but that's basic gist of it. Do you want us to try everything we can to save your life or if your heart stops, is that it? And then we take that information and put it in your chart and make it very prominent in case we need to find it quickly in an emergency. Jane Doe, 72 years old, DNR. John Whatsisname, 49 years old, full code. Like that.

Anyway I'd like to propose a third code status that we'll call "DNR!!!" This is when you not only don't want heroic measures to extend your life, you are so excited to die. I thought of this recently when getting report on a patient, and the day nurse talking to me was like, "Alice Smith, 80 years old, DNR and she will tell you that herself." And I was like, "I don't think code status is gonna come up organically," and the nurse was like, "It won't, but she'll tell you anyway." And then I introduced myself to the patient, and like three minutes in as we're talking about pain meds, she goes, "and by the way, when I'm dead, I'm DEAD. Don't be bringing me back! Every woman in my family has lived past 90, and I'm here to break that tradition! NO one needs to live that long, and I certainly don't, and frankly it's indecent for me to have made it this far. God willing the reaper will come for me any day now. I would never take actions to make him come sooner, but I'm not moving that fast and he is DAWDLING. Disgusting. No work ethic these days. And don't bother with a grave, just chuck me out the window and let the birds at me."

And I'm like "so is that a no to the tylenol"

And she was like "oh no, I'd love some tylenol and a warm blanket too. Now look at me. I've done everything I could possibly want to do in this world and quite a few things I didn't want to do, and personally I don't think I should have to keep doing things. I'd also love a cranberry juice."

Anyway. DNR!! I'm sorry to say she made it through the night completely unscathed.
