(If you sent me an ask/message, I promise I’m not ignoring you, I just hate the new Tumblr, so I’m avoiding it ahaha |D I PROMISE I STILL LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY <3) 

For @theoryofboredom (WHO I CANNOT TAG, WHAT INJUSTICE IS THIS?!)

It wasn’t until he was ten that the full explanation came to him, because every year when a group of kids turned ten, schools had a one-day course specifically about soulmates, what they meant, and why everyone had weird writing on their arms.

Derek remembered sitting in that all-day class, completely horrified, and absolutely devastated. The course leader made it sound like a good thing. Soulmates were the other half of your own being, they were the person you were supposed to love and cherish, who would understand every part of you, and all that other garbage nonsense. He was not here for this.

It wasn’t that Derek had any understanding of love—not romantic love, and certainly not at ten years old—but he read a lot of books and watched some shows and movies with his family, and love looked like something different in those environments. Love looked like a choice, like the meeting of people, and the getting to know them, and actively falling in love with a person because they were amazing and nice and just fit.

Soulmates didn’t sound like that.

You said to send asks: what even is bitter melon?

Bitter melon is my favorite vegetable! I think it’s technically a fruit, but I’ve only ever had it in savory dishes, and it’s so so so good. It’s an acquired taste tho, because as the name implies, it’s bitter, and not everyone might like that. But I highly recommend trying it if you ever see it on a menu (some of the more traditional Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants might have it). I’ve been eating it since I was a kid, and my favorite bitter melon dish is bitter melon stuffed with meat and then braised in broth.

I don’t know why my friends think I’m not funny, I think I am HILARIOUS. /delusional (What? No, I’m not procrastinating writing by being on Tumblr, how dare you?) 

@theoryofboredom (who I can STILL NEVER TAG) has the misfortune of me constantly sending her random sentences of shit I’m writing. She is very good about it. Her and Adara deserve an award for putting up with how not funny I am.

I have to admit, I love the idea of Parrish being all “YOU KNOW! I WAS NORMAL ONCE! AND THEN I CAME TO BEACON HILLS! AND NOW I’M A FUCKING DOG! I hate this family.” lol

Everyone is on Steve and Bucky's side on my TL and I wanna cry ;______;

Oh dear *Hugs you*

Though the people I followed are more biased towards Tony/ or is neutral and supports both sides, I did make a huge mistake of a decision to open what is like a Taiwanese version of 4chan and saw a lot of dude bros one side hate commenting about Tony and delighted that he’s getting beaten up in the trailer so eh there’s that side of the fandom

I’m actually ok with people taking sides as long as they still respect fans of the other, I mean obviously I’m bias towards Tony (though I actually got into the fandom because of Stucky haha um) but I understand people who prefer to support Steve/Bucky more as well.

 I hope no one is hating on Tony on your dashboard Q_Q *hugs you tighter*

If unfortunately that’s the case there’s always some Tony Stark friendly blogs to follow and hopefully brighten your dashboard with intense love for Tony Stark (or probably agonized screams for him because whY IS THIS HAPPENING *cries over that trailer*)

Loved the recap from your third Fury Road watch, been meaning to go and watch it again myself. Just a couple things, the "Get me home" I see so often, I'm pretty sure she says "Get them home", where she's talking about the wives and the remaining Vuvalini, because at that point she feels she's done for, and she's trusting in him to get them there, to finish what she started and somehow get some kind of redemption for them both. Isn't it? The subtitles also helped with this, and his babbling.

Aw, thank you! I was particularly delighted by how many people liked the ‘hotness powder’ joke I wrote at 2 AM. :D

I’ve been listening to that line every time I watch it, and I still can’t make it out for certain! My hearing’s not the best, and inmyriadbits thinks I’m wrong, but I’m sticking to “Get me home” on this one in lieu of hard evidence. She’s almost certainly delirious (due to hypoxia/dehydration/shock) when she says it, and Furiosa’s spent two decades and an epic road war trying to get home to the Green Place. It makes sense to me that while dying, she’d be asking to go home. Even if that’s not really a place that exists anymore.

If you *do* have hard evidence -- you mentioned subtitles? -- please tell me! And I will let go of my headcanon in favor of Furiosa being protective and thinking of others to her last breath, which is also acceptable ;)

Not to mention that he has actively done absolutely NOTHING to get his powers back. Like, seriously, think about it. (Getting laid with Braeden doesn't count.)

This was another one of the points that I had in my rambling.

 Something has been taken from him. But what has Derek done every single time something's been taken from him before? He's gone after it. Ceaselessly. With singular purpose. 

The Derek I'm used to wouldn't settle for just hiring Braeden to find Kate. He would be exploring every possible option, seeking Kate out himself, if a little more cautiously than when he was stronger. He'd be going through every book. He would be reluctant to show the weakness, but he'd still be going to Deaton to find out if he knew anything. 

Not to mention he'd be fighting the weakness, pushing himself to keep strong. The Derek I'm used to wouldn't slouch and hold a gun like he's about to drop it and smile with false bravado and not care when Braeden keeps getting the better of him, even if he does like her. He wouldn't trust her as much as he seems to.

The Derek I'm used to would huff in that put upon way and scowl a little and try a little too hard. The Derek I'm used to would keep attacking even after she got the better of him.

Not to mention I think I've kind of been conditioned not to trust Derek flirting. We've only ever seen him do it as a method of persuasion/distraction and while he was under magical influence.

Hi! I've been following you for a while and I adore your videos! Me and my friends gush over them pretty much all the time! I was wondering if you have a Twitter account so I can follow you there too? And you know, give you credit when linking to your videos there as well! Again, love your work! :D

OMG! You have no idea how much this means to me. Thank you so much Mich!! It’s always nice to hear from people who enjoy my videos. I don’t have a Twitter account sorry :( but again thanks I really appreciate the love and support :)
