I don't know everything, but you can teach me what you know, and then we'll both know more than we did.

Would love a courier 6 cameo but done in a way that can't upset anyone, like, you see their duster and a duct-taped sniper rifle on their back, but never their face. nothing that relies on the game nostalgia to carry a story, of course, but just as a tasty lil treat for gaymers.
By setting season 2 in New Vegas not that fucking long after the second battle of Hoover dam, they'll have to make one of the endings canon, and it will obviously be either house or wildcard but there's only so much avoiding the story that they can do. They'll have to say what happened to the Mojave faction of the brotherhood. We'll have to see what's going on with house. I suppose the courier can have disappeared to the big empty or whatever but all the factions will still either be around or people will talk about them. Benny might be alive or he might be dead but someone's going to know who he is. Even if New Vegas has gone to shit, we gotta know why.
at first I thought no, Steven wouldn't do that, because scarabs are only bugs in the slangy sense, beetles are not true bugs and it would...bug him. but then I remembered this is the guy who called ATLA an anime so even if he is a scholar he's not a polymath, he's not The Librarian, he's only pedantic about his very specific interests and I have no idea if that includes insect taxonomy. So. Carry on!

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen
also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote
suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response
You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.
Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.
And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.
Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.
