Genos is not Saitama’s Friend:
Genos is many things to Saitama: his disciple, his coworker, his roomate, his biggest fan, etc. No one... no one... spends more time with Saitama than Genos. There is no one Saitama knows better than Genos. But Genos is not and has never been Saitama's friend, for one simple reason:
Genos fundamentally does not understand Saitama.
Genos knows Saitama is stronger than anyone else he's ever met (true), believes that Saitama is by definition the strongest being in existence (no longer true), and praises him as the highest moral standard and wisest master in history (not true). In essence, he worships Saitama. In other words, he projects his own ideals onto Saitama, rather than actually trying to understand him with an open mind. Had it been Blast who saved Genos from Mosquito Girl, Genos would have viewed him in exactly the same way.
Saitama's core struggle is his search for a "real fight" to satisfy his lack of purpose and boredom. Despite the fact he has had many, many "real fights" over his years of training, but did those satisfy him? Of course not, Saitama never wanted "one real fight" but an infinite supply of "real fights" to satiate his thirst for physical struggle and challange. Making his goal impossible from the moment he started. Becoming the strongest hero was the easy part.... because it was actually possible.
Genos does not, cannot, and will not understand this. Because he can't look past his own narrow mindset and see Saitama for who he is, and what his goals in life are. Saitama has literally told Genos multiple times about his boredom, yet Genos' idealized fantasy view of Saitama never acknowledges that core character trait. Even Dr. Genus and Boros understand it on some level, despite their admiration. And last but not least King, Saitama's only true friend, the one person alive who actually understands his struggle and does not worship him.
Thoughts?

Hi! I'm the same anon, could you please write head canons for Genos with reader that has great music taste and knows a lot about pop culture and teach him about it in a casual way please?
Genos with a someone who knows a lot about pop culture and has good music taste
Reader is Gender Neutral
-He had always been on his own, not that there is anything wrong with him, but it had just always been that way. It let him be passionate about his drive to be a hero.
-While Genos knew a good amount about the basics of life since he was 15 when he was turned into a cyborg, he had only focused on his goals. He didn't pay any mind to things pop culture.
-So when he met you, the blonde often didn't understand the references you would make. What is...Spongebob? He honestly knew absolutely nothing and this had you absolutely dumbfounded.
-So this lead you to have a weekly session where you would tell him about certain happenings in popculture from fashion, memes, music etc. It gave you a space to vent about "meaningless" things while he sat fascinated, hanging on to every word.
-While it was a little funny when he would turn to you and say "This is like *insert reference* correct, Y/N?" it was pretty charming :)
-As for music, he wasn't exactly a music person therefore it allowed you to play whatever you want. Genos always asked you questions on the artist and was curious about your interests.
-No matter what you would talk about or play when you came to visit, Genos would always be open to it :)

Experimentsssssssssssssssssssss
was playing around w/ opm models and wanted to try toon shading them. my first attempt was fucking awful, so I decided to try using the BOTW shader.
I was pleasantly surprised by the results, though it took quite a bit of fiddling and improvising some of the necessary masks for the shader to function semi-decently
might do Speed o Sound Sonic as well but idk yet
