old enough to know better. like seriously old. really.

Looking through your Ao3 bookmarks and seeing that little “This has been deleted, sorry!” is like finding a gravestone, but the writing’s too worn down to read what it was standing for anymore.

What were you, Bookmark #336… What stories did you tell? Which words were it that once left a mark on my soul?  *touches my laptop screen like it’s text from an ancient ruin*

Cowabummer. 

Derek is resigned to sitting through a full-day work conference, but is blown away when he meets Stiles, who is excited and enthusiastic, and also possibly a danger to himself and everyone around him.

Tagging folks who expressed interest in the original fic idea for this (Stiles destroys Derek's phone by accident and Derek (while still being mad) uses it as an opportunity to ask Stiles out)

@princecharmingwinks @kikiroo @greyhavenisback was there someone else?? I feel like there was and I'm completely forgetting!

I'm a "multiple interpretations of a character are valid" person until I see an interpretation that explicitly contradicts canon and then I start chewing on the drywall.

Me: "they are fictional characters and you can have whatever thoughts or interpretations you like! You may be close to the creators intent, you may not! What does it matter! There is joy in the exploration alone"

Also me: blorbo would not fucking say that

“This character is multi-faceted and has many valid interpretations of them, but there are also aspects of them that are so set in stone that if you take them away, you’re basically talking about a totally different character.”

*Derek and Stiles at an out-of-town jail, after Stiles was allowed to make a phone call*

Derek: When will the sheriff get here?

Stiles, who totally forgot calling his dad was an option: Shit, I think I fucked up

stiles stilinski is the human embodiment of taking a tub of yeast extract and adding a sprinkling of methamphetamine, about a hundred thousand teaspoons of lugduname, wikipedia, and an overdose-worthy stash of whatever that shit the guy from limitless 2011 was on and then smothering it all over one of those freaky vintage symbol-bashing monkey toys before shibari-tying it to the energizer bunny and proceeding to shoot the smooshed together frankenstein's monster abomination from a polish circus cannon on a full moon and enjoying getting covered from head to toe in the messed up death-to-all-that-is-normal confetti that rains down upon you

i learned that actor Danny Trejo has the most on-screen deaths of anyone in Hollywood history, with 65. Followed by Christopher Lee (60), Lance Henriksen (51), Vincent Price (41), Dennis Hopper (41), Boris Karloff (41), and John Hurt (39). (x)

Yet poor Sean Bean is stuck with the reputation for dying in every movie. Unfair.

Give him time, he still has many years of dying yet to come.

Also there’s the question of density vs quantity. If you make a hundred movies and die in 50, and someone else makes 30 movies and dies in 30, the first one has died more, but the second one has died more often per movie.

It’s the DPM ratio that really counts, IMO.

I’m so proud of the statistical side of tumblr for coming through on this.

“Most people who commit serious harm never get to the point where they can admit to their harmful actions, much less apologize and aim to repair them. Their shame leads to denial and self-deception that overrides their ability to orient toward reality. No person can be more honest with us than they can be with their own self. Before you open up a conversation with a person who has harmed you, keep in mind that protecting yourself comes first. Reduce your expectations to zero for getting the response you want and deserve. Speak your truths because you need to speak for your own self—because this is the ground you want to stand on, irrespective of whatever response you receive. A heartfelt apology is unlikely to be forthcoming, now or ever. No individual will feel accountable and genuinely remorseful—no matter how well you communicate—if doing so threatens to define him or her in an intolerable way. The other person’s willingness to own up to harmful deeds has nothing to do with how much she or he does or doesn’t love you. Rather, the capacity to take responsibility, feel empathy and remorse, and offer a meaningful apology rests on how much self-love and self-respect that person has available. We don’t have the power to bestow these traits on anyone but ourselves.”

I feel like a mom on facebook reblogging this but I genuinely like it. I want to make this into a full size poster and put it in my 3rd grade classroom but I’m 20 yrs old and not a teacher
