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

me: hey remember that silly werewolf show that you liked when you a weird little teenager? y'know what'd be funny, if you rewatched-

*gets shot by the hyperfixation beam*

...ah damnit

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!

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

welcome back to 2012 with the PolyTimeMachine©

I guess the stylists/showrunners expect the audience to go 'oo aa sexy' at how Derek wears his jacket but all i can think is 'aw he's shy look at him hiding his fingies'

My friend said it's very baby-girl coded of him when I talked about it so I had to

Speaking of Sterek headcanon music, I think that Derek as millennial, he listened a lot of the classic punk and emo rock bands when he was a teen, and still listen to those band that are active. Linking park, Paramore, Evanescence , bring me the horizon, skillet and the Rasmus.

(I still do 🤣)

yeees i love this!! and i haven't listened to the rasmus in AGES how nostalgic!

now i'm imagining teen derek sitting in front of his computer, agonizing over which handful of songs to put on his little mp3 player for a field trip 🥺

“Sorry,” Stiles said, unsure of why he was apologizing. “I’ve never heard that song before. Did you write it?”  Derek looked uncomfortable, maybe a touch embarrassed, which was answer enough. “It’s good. I like it. It’s calming.”  The small smile he got in response melted his heart a little bit. Fucking hell, he was so gone for this asshole. Stiles didn’t know what he was going to do. He wished he’d never realized how much he loved him. Wished he’d just continued to think they were best friends and nothing more. It was slowly going to kill him being so close, and yet so fucking far. Clearing his throat, he brought the book back up to continue reading, muttering that Derek should keep playing. He did, his fingers plucking gently at the strings, filling the loft with soft music. It really was calming, and soothing. Stiles really liked it. He liked it even more when he realized Derek could honestly express himself with the guitar. It still wasn’t a voice, but it was something, at least.

This fic is what spurred me to start doing sterek fanart back in the beginning of december - magic!stiles, cursed!derek, stiles/jackson terrifying everyone else as friends - an incredible 430K story with a completely endearing slow-burn and slowly unfolding exploration of the characters and their relationship, made complete with the perfect bow of cursed-mute-Derek because 'Derek's eyebrows have a language of their own but only Stiles is fluent' is my favorite and this author does it SO well. And gives Derek a guitar. Derek plays a guitar!!

Ella, consider this my loveletter to your works - they all, this one in particular, buoyed me through a tough time in my life and brought me back to a love of drawing that I haven't had in years and a fandom that has been so generous in their support of my silly art. Thank you for sharing your works!

And a huge thank you to everyone's support so far - the sweet comments in replies, the unhinged all-caps tags, yes-and'ing my silly ideas and headcanons, i'm just over here kicking my feet and giggling and definitely not getting teary-eyed over it no siree no lacrimal action happening here

Have a wip shot - it’s been a while since I last went on a render bender so I guess it was due lol

Truly doing this on nightmare difficulty trying to draw a relaxed, happy stiles 😂 he mirin’

Saw the last gif in this set and thought 'that man needs a blanket and a hug' - for @renmackree, hope things ease up for you soon ♥

First time making an animated gif, sorry if it's a lil choppy (':

Also psst, i have a redbubble shop now! let me know if there's anything specific you'd like available on there ☆

Frames under the cut:

you thought you could escape my strange prediliction to share music headcanons? think again (aka i forgot when i posted yesterday)

Erica bonds with stiles over Kesha's Blow Isaac strikes me as someone who listens to The Arcadian Wild and Fish in a Birdcage's entire discographies Boyd I imagine has a very similar taste to Derek's in country and melodic songs, but also enjoys compositions like Infra 5 by Max Richter

In the interest of giving my hand a break, here's something a little less refined - I really just wanted to draw Erica in this top of mine but i couldn't not add her boys. the terrible trio of my heart.

First time drawing all 3 of them, looking forward to capturing them better in the future 🫰

WIP wednesday (:<

Working on two things that are taking a while (one courtesy of being a Big Fuckin' Project and the other is just being difficult and i keep redoing things a million times lol), so have two closeups for now (:

First is another music thing (if anyone can guess the artist/album, hats off to you or you know me IRL lol) and second shot is from a long-form comic I've started \o/ Waiting with sharing more of it until I've finished the first couple pages and decided on the final look, so for now here's a wip shot <: (background panel is drawn over a shot from a 3D program bc i'm just trying to do a comic of my otp not reinvent the wheel here)
