You Are Faced With Some Random Problem And The Only Person Who Can Help You Is The Main Character From

What was my plan for the day: a quick warmup and get some work done on a comic project

What ended up happening: mid-panel i remembered this image, the demons overtook me and suddenly it’s 10pm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

welcome back to 2012 with the PolyTimeMachine©

For the art questions:

5, 21, 32!

Artist ask game

5. how would you describe your art style?

Hmm. Semi-realistic.. Solid? Soft and silly? (help)

21. what do you think your artstyle would taste like?

Banana.

32. have you done a lot of collabs?

I think I've done like...... 3 or 4 in all the years I've been drawing because I've been too shy to reach out ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ But I really loved the ones I've done - especially swapping lines/coloring is super fun! Been toying with the idea of uploading some lines for others to color, but any mutuals who'd be interested in some sort of collab are always welcome to send a message ♥︎

So while I know Stiles canonically is probably a classic rock guy going by his shirts (although you cannot tell me the kid doesn't jam out to lady gaga's the fame monster), are you really in a fandom unless you project aspects of yourself onto characters?

Specifically an unhinged case of 'will listen to absolutely anything' taste in music - I'm the 'never pass the AUX cord' in my friend group.

The song in question (that i had on repeat enough one year that it was on my spotify wrapped) under the cut!

Other music headcanon posts: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9

I just quite like the idea of Stiles zoning out to some strange beats :)

Now with updated info courtesy of @occultdaddy!

The funny thing is that the audio is actually not Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz. It's a piano rendition of Final Savage Sister Flandre S (or Last Brutal Sister Flandre S) which is a remix of "U.N. Owen was her?" from Touhou. they've been mixed up due to a mistake from a person uploading the remix to youtube. And yes Stiles would totally listen to it... and probably give the same info-dump I just did about it. srry :P (the actual Death Waltz is a lil less enjoyable to listen to lol)

Here's what an attempt to play the sheet music in the panel actually sounds like (starts around 3:50) ((i hope i got it right this time hahaha))

Thanks for sharing your knowledge dude! Hate to spread a misconception so I appreciate the heads up (:

My subspecialty, i guess you could call it, is chronic pain - i did my master's thesis on sleep disorders in patients with chronic pain - so i've got a LOT of thoughts about the concept of 'stealing pain' in teen wolf.

The current definition of pain is

"an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage"

because pain is not purely a physical phenomenon, it's an experience not necessarily tied to any physical damage.

Of course you can delve into the different types of pain and argue that nociceptive and neuropathic pain is due to biochemical triggers (inflammation/tissue damage and nerve damage, respectively) as opposed to nociplastic pain - but even those are heavily modulated by how we perceive them.

In one of my psych classes we were shown a powerful example: In a segment from a local news station a lady had won a competition and as a reward she got a handful of minutes to 'empty out' a kitchen supply store - after all the excitement was done and she was being interviewed post-haul, suddenly a bystander points out that she's standing in a large puddle of blood. She'd dropped a knife into her foot at some point, resulting in a quite large gash. She'd felt nothing until someone pointed it out - endorphins, adrenaline, the works. (She was immediately attended to and recovered completely).

Studies show that pain perception increases dramatically in young, healthy subjects who were sleep-deprived even just for 24 hrs, and in the same vein stress, anxiety and distress also increases pain perception.

So where does that leave the idea of stealing pain in teen wolf? Rather than taking a physical representation of 'pain', maybe it's more stealing the perception of pain, the fear and distress?

Kind of a romantic notion, isn't it?

The most integral part to any artistic process: staring off into space with a concerned expression

(if you see me doing this i am most likely doing panel composition in my head lol)

Stiles on his 100000th rant of the day my beloved

Legit no lie I've been meaning to ask if you'd be up for an art trade, bc i would love to see something from B99 or it's alive from you AND I WAKE UP ON A MONDAY MORNING TO THIS???

the excellent choice in episode (the camping series is ICONIC, huge agree with the 1:1 derek and stiles camping vibes), the timing of the shots, the expressions! the way you did a semi-opaque layer over the plaid in the screenshot?? huge brain

I was inspired to rewatch It’s Alive with Brad bc of @melioristicbeast and their wonderful redraws bc it’s been a while and omg every camping episode is EXACTLY how I envision how Stiles and Derek camping together would go lol

anyways

*lovingly leaves this on your doorstep and runs back into the wilderness from whence I came*
