#Posts melon is mildly proud of
Text
It’s like midnight and im delirious i don’t even have my glasses on so im typing this blind, but im thinking about Valentines Day and how if people have someone they’re attracted to, regardless of if it’s romantically or physically or platonically, we should all just be able to walk up to them and say “I’m in love with you” and leave it at that, as a compliment. Cuz the truth is you can fall in love with a person just like you can fall in love with a good book or a tree you’ve known since you were five, or a song or a piece of art. Yes I’m in love with my two year old cousin, yes im in love with my squish, im in love with my siblings, I’m in love with my crush, im in love with comfy new pajamas, im in love with my friends and the sky and the stars and apple juice and grilled cheese, and old people with sincere smiles and the way little kids write letters. I’m in love with the whole goddamn world and maybe I just want to tell people that they are a part of that more often

50 More interesting questions
Rules: fill this out and tag at least one person you’d like to know more about! Or just fill it out! Or don’t! Answer only some of them! Make up your own questions! “What kind of requirement is that”, you ask? A reasonable one! Who am I to tell you what to do? Anything goes!
I was tagged by @praxid!
1. What kind of food can’t you stand?: I’m sort of picky about texture. Not big on things that are sort of gelatinous - so no jello for me. I’m also not big tropical fruit person so I don’t like pineapple or most melons.
2. If you could choose one minor inconvenience to never have to deal with again, what would you pick?: Brushing my hair. It mats up while in a braided bun as I sleep. It takes hours to brush out. 
3. Have you got any useless talents?: I don’t have any talents really.
4. If you could be really really good at one thing, what would it be?: Film/photography/writing.
5. Name a few people you think are extremely good-looking: Melissa McBride, Sonequa Martin-Green, Andrew-Lee Potts, Kit Harrington, Karen Gillan, David Tennant, Scarlett Johansson, Jamie N Commons, Danai Gurirra, Donald Glover, Milla Jovovich, Tatiana Maslany, I should top. I find lots of people pretty. 
6. What was your favorite way to pass the time as a kid?: Reading, interneting, hitting my brother with sticks and getting hit back.
7. What is something you’re proud of?: I decided I wasn’t going to let another student film festival go uncaptioned at my college. I was the only one who captioned every film and I don’t think anyone has captioned the film festivals since, but I know that there were a few students that were able to attend the festival I did because they felt welcome for once. Fuck the kids who bitched about the captioning, it wasn’t for you.
8. What’s one character flaw in people that you just can’t tolerate?: Lying. For fuck’s sake just tell the truth. Also, don’t be cruel or intolerant of people’s differences or differences of opinion. Fuck you, there’s room for everyone and everyone’s thoughts. 
9. Do you consider yourself to be more of a leader or a follower?:  I’m a leader when I feel I must be - if absolutely no one else will step up, but I much prefer being a follower.
10. What kind of student are/were you?: I worked harder than anyone else to achieve mediocre status. 
11. Butterfly effect question! Has there ever been a seemingly minor decision you’ve made (at the time) that ended up having a profound influence on your life?: I told someone I liked a wristband/sweatband they were wearing and we became fast friends. I picked a school based on school colors. I followed my roommate to an ASL club meeting because she wanted me to get out of the dorm. I got a tumblr hahah. Honestly though the people I’ve met on tumblr have saved me so thank you.
12. Name your most irrational fear/aversion: Eyes - I don’t like eye drops, people touching their eyes, eye things happening in movies. I don’t like spiders. I’m still a little afraid of the dark. 
13. Are there any fictional characters you find especially relatable?: Tim Wright,  Jay Merrick, Clint Barton, Abby Maitland, Connor Temple, VERONICA MARS, Jessica Jones, 
14. If you drink, what kind of drunk are you? Alternatively, what sort of person are you at parties?: I get the munchies. And giggly. And sleepy. And I desire Left 4 Dead. Its my drunk video game. 
15. Do you fall in love easily? Or does it usually take a long time for you to trust someone?: I fall in love with concepts. I fall in love with characters. I fall in love with every dog I meet. But I’ve never had the opportunity to fall in love with a person. I love my friends, but I think that’s a different question? 
16. Would you rather have one close friend or 100 casual friends?: One close friend.
17. Do you consider yourself to be more of a slob or a neat-freak?: I’m a neat-freak who has given up. Dog hair will never be eradicated. I don’t have the energy to clean the way I want. My mind is too chaotic and I need clutter around me or I feel uncomfortable. Weirdly enough I was watching a documentary on Carrie Fisher and her mother, and I saw Carrie’s house and went “that’s me!” It seemed that her house was that way because of her bipolar status. I’m not bipolar but I do have major crippling anxiety and I think I clutter and throw art and things all over the walls as some sort of comforting mechanism. I’m unable to decorate like Adults do - I can’t do minimalism. It stresses me out. 
18. Describe a place (imaginary or real) that you would find incredibly cozy: Pacific northwest. Woods near a big lake or the ocean. Older farmhouse with brick and reclaimed wood. I have a room decorated in my usual chaos. There’s a bay window big enough for me and Ruby to both be on it at the same time. Its raining and the fall leaves are piled on the ground. I have candles and incense burning. Good music. Maybe a friend sitting on the computer next to me. There’s coffee and marionberry pie. Its october and everything is foggy and spooky and gentle and calm. Its probably sunday.
19. Do you have kids? If not, do you want them someday?: I don’t have any human kids. I like them, I think they’re funny. I’d want some if I was confident in my ability to care for them and raise them right and take care of them in all the ways they deserve.
20. What was your favorite book as a child? Harry Potter. To find something that not everyone else my age would say....Everything’s Eventual?
21. Name one thing you just don’t get what all the hype is about: Undertale. Its fine but I can’t get into it in the way everyone else does. 
22. Name one thing that you think is tragically underrated: Films on YouTube by indie filmmakers.
23. If you had to be glued to a person for a month, real or fictional (who you have never met), who would you choose?: Andrew-Lee Potts during the early days of Keychain Productions. Blood On Benefits made me want to make films, and I think spending a month with him working on all those short films would have made me actually live my dream rather than giving up on it. 
24. What’s something you’d like the chance to do someday?: I want to make films. I want to write an original story. Maybe make a video game? I want to make something. Do some crafting. Meet someone and actually date them. I’d like to have a kiss at some point, to see what that’s like. Have friends that live nearby that I can see frequently. 
25. Do you typically speak your mind when you have a controversial opinion? Or do generally prefer to not rock the boat?: No! Opinions are dangerous and people don’t like having friends that have different opinions than them, and I’d never have friends because I either don’t share the same opinions or I don’t feel strongly about my opinions. I’m very open to having people change my opinions. I’m not married to them. Please change my mind, I like thinking about things in a new way. But I am not going to share my opinions because it just causes so many fights among people - I just don’t feel safe doing it. 
26. What’s the dumbest fad you’ve been caught up in?: I’m sure it was fashion related but honestly I don’t care to think too hard about it. 
27. What’s something you thought was cool as a kid/adolescent, but now cringe at yourself for?: Only doing eyeliner on my bottom lids?
28. What’s a trait you consider to be very admirable?: True empathy. The ability to have practical skills that help people. 
29. Is there a particular kind of item people always tend to give you as gifts? (For instance, people always get you things with ducks on them because you like ducks, etc.): Hmmm....nerdy things? I mostly get gifts from Tumblr friends because we share fandoms so while the fandoms vary its usually homemade things based on our favorite things. And bless you all for it too - As my mom could tell you I beam for weeks upon receiving your guys gifts! I wish I could repay the kindness!
30. Do you speak multiple languages? Which ones?: I can do some really basic ASL. I used to do some basic spanish but that was many many years ago and I don’t think it would come back easily.
31. Would you rather live in the big city or the countryside?: Woods, middle of. I need my million dogs and my lots of land and fresh air. 
32. Has there ever been something you were certain you’d hate, but ended up loving?: the MCU lol
33. Do you mind being the center of attention, or do you prefer the spotlight to be on someone else?: Being the center of attention gives me anxiety.
34. Favorite holiday?: SPOOKY SCARY
35. Are you a more go-with-the-flow type of person, or do you need to have things planned meticulously?: My anxiety demands I have plans. Now, those plans are allowed to change, but I need to start with plans. 
36. Is there something you loved so much you wish you could forget it and experience it all over again? (A tv show, book, series–anything.): No.
37. What hobbies do you have?: Internet. Fanfiction writing (hahahahahaha). Photography. When my hand heals I wanna do leatherworking.
38. If you could have a superpower, but it was only mildly useful, what ability would you want to have?: I just want to know what my dog is thinking. So a superpower that lets me know what dogs are thinking/saying?
39. Something people are always surprised to learn about you: Could someone answer this for me? Because I don’t think anyone’s ever given me feedback on this one. 
40. Something that took you way too long to figure out: That I needed to do something about my anxiety. It gave me so many health problems and kept me from living my life. 
41. Worst injury you’ve had?: I’ve slammed my head against giant rocks. Hurt my knee in volleyball.
42. Any morbid fascinations?: Weirdly enough, not really! Post-nuclear apocalypses maybe? http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/1983:_Doomsday was something I spent weeks immersed in to the detriment of my mental health.
43. Describe your sense of humor: Sarcastic, bitter, shitty puns? 
44. If you had to be born in another era/place, which would you choose?: 80s? Goth scene, I could have seen Depeche Mode and The Cure in their prime. 
45. Something you are irredeemably bad at: life
46. Something that sucked but you’re glad you went through: Being a shitty friend. Now I know how to not be that shitty?
47. Would you rather have a really godawful ugly tattoo in a place that is only slightly inconvenient to conceal with clothing (upper arm, thigh, etc.), or the coolest, most beautiful tattoo ever in the middle of your face? (Neither tattoo can be removed or concealed with makeup, and the ugly tattoo will deeply offend anyone who sees it.): Gimme that face tattoo.
48. Are you more of an optimist or a pessimist?: I like to think pessimistically so that if its true I’m not surprised but if it turns out better I can be pleasantly surprised!
49. What would be the most flattering compliment someone could give you?: That they genuinely loved me and that I made a difference in their life. 
50. Something you feel people often misunderstand about you: I don’t know........ How bone achingly lonely I am? Maybe someone can help me out on this one too. I don’t know if anyone really “understands” me - I don’t communicate my mindset well.

Sun and moon character dynamics are more than “cute ray of sunshine” and “angsty gay” honestly, and if you think that then you’re severely missing out on all the trope has to offer!! I have opinions on this!!!
A sun character isn’t just peppy and happy all the time, for example. They’re full of all the emotions, just like the moon, but they tend to show it. If the sun is sad, you’ll know, because the sky will cloud over and the light will disappear. If you make them mad, they might shine brighter just to spite you, and burn you, and then laugh at your expense before softening at the end of the day and being so beautiful that you forget they ever hurt you. They’re a showoff; flitting here and there and trying to grab your attention. They want you to see that they’re trying, so hard without fail, that they will be there for you every day, no matter how much you might wonder if the world will go on. Loyal to a fault, they beam at you as if you’re the one shining…and you forget for a moment that you’re only reflecting the light they gave off in the first place.
Moon characters are different. They’re filled with quiet, gentle glowing, just enough to give you initiative to keep trying on your own. They won’t push you; they would rather you came with the courage to continue through the dark yourself. They hold their emotions close, knowing eyes asking you to look a little closer and see, because they’re certainly not going to just tell you how they’re feeling. Shy and yet so stubborn, they hold steadfast and will stand their ground when challenged - their dark side is not one you want to mess with. Unlike the sun, they come and go whenever they please. They know their limits, and they won’t force themself to be there for you when you don’t need them. Make no mistake, however - when you have the moon’s light, you will never be lost. Bathed in gentleness, you will never be blinded, left alone, or burnt - they may be quiet, and they may come and go with the tide, but they will always return.

hot take but i think that there’s too much hype around a ship “becoming canon”
like, people will see them blushing at each other and pining mutually, or one person is obviously in love and the other is oblivious, and folks will say “omg when will they be canon”
i mean, i get it. especially with queer couples we really want to see them together, to see it be said out loud, to be labeled obviously so homophobes can suck it. but you know what? that’s not reality
unrequited love is a beautiful stage of any ship. Mutual pining, friends who blush at each other, teasing, flirting? if it’s clear that romantic feelings between two characters is what the writers intended, then it’s canon. i don’t care if they’ve confessed dramatically or not. Raeda? they’ve been in love since they were kids. that love is real and canon. Did Connie and Steven Universe ever say i love you romantically (before he uh proposed)? nope. were Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland not meant to be in love all along? no, Alex Hirsch just couldn’t say it till the last episode
in short: love doesn’t wait for dramatic confessions and official labels. it’s there where it’s written and i think we should look for that instead

People’s interests are amazing to me. Like, you and I both fell into this huge, huge world and you looked around and decided that bugs or something was the most fascinating thing and that you were going to learn all about it??? Sure maybe I didn’t decide that but … please tell me all about it, the more passion there is in this world the better

so i was feeling emotional and wanted to make a tag for posts that make me want to hug humanity. i was going through my favorite posts tagging some of them as “humans are precious” but ,,, i only got more emotional because you know what? i want to add every post to that tag. every piece of art, every silly meme, every bad pun or hopeful word written on this site was written by a person. by people working together to make a funny or heartfelt post, not even seeing each other and yet they collectively reach out and touch hands through this goddamn site. yes we’re stupid and we have the sense of humor of a sixth grade class but we know intuitively something that we can’t put into words, something about how there’s hope if there’s other people. it’s two in the morning and i am fine

I love how humans get their sense of humor from two places: 1, whoever they grew up with, by learning what was funny and what a good joke meant (odds are if you grew up with a person who always laughed super hard at a certain kind of joke, or made certain funny comments, you’re going to think it’s funny too, for the rest of your life) and 2, just genuinely discovering what is funny in your own eyes, even starting when you’re a baby. The ceiling is fucking hilarious and no one in your family understands you
