Enjoy The Story That Inspired The Art, "I Choose You" By @always-mimits

Why does this remind me of Peter Hale? I picture him singing this to Lydia or maybe Kate even. Man is a cockroach.

This is beautiful

A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad

another of my pairings for @stacksonreversebang

Sinnabon-cosplay was wonderful enough to claim my art pair for this one and write an amazing fic

Here is the wonderful fic!

Canon-Typical Violence, Spark Stiles Stilinski, Good Pack Alpha Scott McCall (Teen Wolf), Good Pack Alpha Derek Hale, I just want them both to have alpha rights okay, Stackson - Freeform, Hurt/Comfort, First Time, First Kiss, Mutual Pining, Angst with a Happy Ending, Kidnapping, Hunters Being Assholes (Teen Wolf), Peter Hale is Jackson Whittemore's Parent, Getting Together, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex, Magical Stiles Stilinski

Summary:

When Jackson gets taken by hunters as a ploy to lure out Beacon Hills resident alphas, the pack turns to Stiles to find him. He knows it's bad when he uses a locater spell and all he can feel in his connection with Jackson is pain. The hunters make the mistake of egging on one very angry spark and an equally angry Peter when they arrive. Confessions are had and kisses are shared.

Or,

Jackson's kidnapped. Stiles isn't a fan of his favorite wolf being taken. They both have a lot of feelings about it when Jackson is recovering.

My first art for the @stacksonreversebang and my first Reverse Bang ever!

This event has been such a fun and informative experience and I can’t wait to continue doing fandom events in the future!

@thotpuppy wrote the fic for it and I’m super excited to share it.

Could we get director cut commentary for Anchor Me So I Can Keep You Safe so far? Maybe??

I honestly wasn’t expecting any response to this so I wasn’t prepared to answer anything. BUT this fic is one of my favorite hey let’s fuck with canon and see what we can make of it. So let’s talk about how it even came about because I think it’s kind of fun to see the process of how people come up with their fics, so might as well share mine for this one at least. 😅

Anchor Me So I Can Keep You Safe came about when I wanted to explore the Nemeton ritual, it wasn’t going to be more than Stiles solo talking to the Nemeton but man it has taken a life of its own. The pairing came out of nowhere but man I love my plan for them next chapter. 😏 I love exploring and twisting canon to see what I can do to either make it better or worse.

This has definitely been a character led fic far more than something I have planned out. Which is typical with me, but this one is one of the clearest examples of it. Since it wasn’t supposed to be anything other than exploring the Nemeton ritual and playing around with it. But man it’s really been a fun but wild ride so far. One that I absolutely love being able to share with people.

The bulk of the actual conflict of the story/Pack at large is finished in chapter two because the third and likely final chapter is going to mostly just be family and Pack feels. Just a lot of rebuilding or forging bonds and finding their footing. I’m really excited about my plan for the next chapter but it’s likely going to be the longest one of the three so it’s going to probably not be out until later in NaNoWriMo.

Feel free to ask any questions about any of my works. I love talking about them. Or any specific questions about this fic. 💗💕💜

not to be “that person who stares at gifs and makes a weird whining noise in the back of their throat all day” but

I’m kinda suffering

A LOT

So here’s some gifs to drag you all down with me

You know if you feel like watching Dean quietly implode via his hand on a loop all day

I absolutely love this.

Having the absolutely breathtaking realisation that Teen Derek Hale would probably be fucking terrified of Stiles. Not in a physical way, obviously, he’s still a werewolf and Stiles is still human, but in a social ‘oh my god this person is so much cooler than me, how are we even interacting right now?’ way because if you think about it, Derek “Too School for Cool” Hale:

sits by himself at lunch

has absolute crap social skills

can quote Shakespeare

knows “The Crucible” well enough to know it’s an allegory for McCarthyism

knows about berserkers, kanimas, kitsune, wendigos, etc. 

had his first crush on a band geek

hung out with exactly one (1) person, and that was his uncle

And on the other side of things, we have Stiles “Fuck Around and Find Out” Stilinski who:

actively lies to the literal Sheriff (also his dad, but tbh that’s just double danger points)

steals and makes illegal copies of keys

knows police radio code and has (illegal) access to police files

can start a car with a screwdriver

gets drunk in the forest with his bestie

breaks in the school at least semi-regularly just to fuck with his teachers

went looking for a dead body for fun

What I’m getting at here is that “117″ should have consisted solely of Derek going through every stage of Bi Panic and then inventing a few more whenever Stiles interacts with him directly while Scott looks absolutely be-fucking-fuddled because ‘dude, what did you do to him, I can smell his nerves from outside’ as Peter’s laughter is heard in the background, and Kate Argent fucks off to rot in the lowest circle of Hell. 

I see so many people reluctant to accept that Severus was ‘indoctrinated’ into the Dark Arts. For some reason, all it takes is Sirius (who we already know to be biased) saying, ‘oh, that guy knew more Dark Arts spells than Voldemort himself from the age of eleven!’ and it’s Accepted Canon that that this eleven-year-old boy - also shown to canonically be very kind, thoughtful, and intelligent - is obviously in some parts Pure Evil.

Has anyone considered that we can juxtapose the allure of the Dark Arts to characters like Severus, with Harry’s infatuation with ‘the Prince’ via ‘The Half-Blood Prince’s’ copy of Advanced Potions? Harry spends the whole of HPB telling Hermione that the Prince is cool and knows his stuff, that he’s so clever and doing such a good job of getting Harry recognised in Potions class, that he couldn’t possibly have malevolent intentions because of this. Harry’s confidence in the Prince, his respect for the Prince, his blind belief in everything the Prince has written gets to such a point that he takes the spell Sectumsempra and throws it at Draco without a second thought, without even realising its potential. 

This is the exact environment in which Severus’ adoption into the Dark Arts could have occurred. The people in his House who knew about it, who were introducing it to him, surely didn’t mean anything too bad with it. It’s just a laugh, as he says to Lily. It was all fun and games, it was cool and interesting - nobody was dying over it. Remember, it didn’t matter how many times Hermione told Harry he needed to return the Prince’s book, it wasn’t until he nearly killed Draco that he realised everything had gone too far. Likewise, it didn’t matter how many times Lily told Severus that Mulciber and Avery were being cruel, it took for Lily’s life to be on the line for Severus to finally realise what he’d become involved in. If we can forgive Harry for being pulled into a world of forbidden/hidden knowledge, and learning to use it without anyone explicitly forcing him to, then we can at the very least understand how Severus got himself to the same point.

Harry, Severus and Voldemort - ‘the abandoned boys’ - represent stages when it comes to the Dark Arts. Voldemort embraced it completely, to the point of losing his own humanity over it. Severus got taken in, but knew deep down he had to pull himself away - unfortunately, the damage had already been done. Harry, learning from the mistakes of the two before him through his own journey, understands that, whilst it can be a formidable force, the Dark Arts shouldn’t be taken lightly. He refuses the Elder Wand, he backs away from this world of strange, and powerful magic. 

Unlike Voldemort, he keeps his humanity. Unlike Severus, he knows when to quit.
