My Name Is Derek Hale Page 02 - In Which The Song Lyric Text Is Too Tiny But Hopefully Somewhat Readable,

welcome back to 2012 with the PolyTimeMachine©

I've been drawing over screencaps to try to figure out how to capture stiles, and I could not get it to resemble him with a neutral face, and have been having much more fun capturing silly expressions! Wanted to share some of my favorites, the middle one especially had me cackling. These are drawn over screencaps and usually just for my own studies, but I thought others might get a laugh out of them too :)

Engaging in the time-honored tradition of drawing characters in your own clothes - workout edition :] running and powerlifting are my go-to activities

What I drew Derek in is probably the only matchy workout clothes I own, I usually go for comfort lol

It's been so amazing seeing all your gorgeous Sterek art on my dash. What a gift! For prompts, I'd love to see them sharing/swapping something meaningful to the other (e.g. Stiles wearing something iconic of Derek's, or perhaps Derek adding a tattoo that reminds him of Stiles?)

S: What are you doing here? Huh? This is private property. D: I did not stand like that. S: Love to break it to you, big guy - this is a bonafide 1:1 recreation. I remember it very well.

TYSM 😭😭

Your suggestion was really sweet, sorry my brain went in such a silly direction 🥹 I've another one in the works <3 I'm imagining this a few years down the line, i'm just really attached to stiles' buzzcut!

I'm certain this moment is very meaningful to stiles though (and yes derek, you did stand like that, you weirdo)

jumpscare derek hale

y'know the good thing about posting fanart of a show that ended several years ago is i don't have to fear anyone involved interacting with it - had enough of that dread in my sherlock days lol

Now it's 10 o'clock and the meal is done But the conversation's just begun You're fascinating, I feel blessed But I have to be honest I don't know what we're talking about And I haven't for a while

I think Stiles would jam out to most of NSP's songs but especially I Don’t Know What We’re Talking About (And I Haven’t For A While)

Hope you're not tired of silly music headcanon art because i have many more up my sleeve babyyy ( 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 )

Song under cut

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?

What do you mean those aren't the lyrics to sexxx dreams?

I was so disappointed to find out they never confirmed Stiles as bi - we were robbed of an out and proud bi stiles fucking around, there's so much potential!
