Stiles likes Peter's scarcastic asshole personality more than he cares to admit, and Peter likes Stiles' hyperactive brain; they are a match made in hell– god save everyone else's sanity.

My OG sketch:

Btw my inspo came from this person's Instagram where they also did stiles and peter for this drawing meme >>>

Where the Foxglove Grows

Stiles hasn’t seen Derek in over a decade — not since they were kids bouncing between group homes together, two lost boys who found something steady in each other before the system pulled them apart for good. He’s built a life since then: a tattoo shop of his own, an adopted family, a found family of friends who’d do anything for him. He’s not looking for anything else.

Then a stranger crashes into him on the sidewalk, spilling his coffee and his sketchbook — and it’s Derek. All grown up, and somehow exactly the same underneath it.

part one / part two / part three / part four / part five

it kind of freezes stiles when he realizes. when he realizes the insane risk derek took, even thinking of helping him. 

when emory could’ve, if he knew… 

it’s kind of… unbelievably horrifying. and stiles had derek going on snack runs. 

unprotected, alone.

well, that’s over now. 

they’ll go together, from now on. keeping close, no one’ll question it. everyone knows omegas don’t date other omegas. 

and derek has the red eyes, and the growl. for most people, it’s a good trick. 

from the outside, it’ll look like derek owns him. 

the mark on stiles’ wrist is still stinging. but that’s good, it’s good.

it’s good to have the reminder. to not glance down, and panic trying to find it. 

as long as he has it, derek doesn’t. and that’s more than worth it. 

these days, derek sleeps almost easy.

Work in Progress!

Gym Crush

Currently just this is written, no idea where it's going.

Sterek, Derek is a gym bro

“Excuse me.”

Derek felt a light tap on his shoulder. He turned to see a young man, an inch or two shorter than himself, with honey-brown eyes and a buzz cut. Derek noticed a tiny mole sitting near the left side of his mouth; it looked just high enough to be swallowed by a dimple if the young man were to smile.

He started talking before Derek could form a greeting.

“I have a small favor to ask. It'll take ten seconds. I'm going to ask you out, and I need you to reject me in no uncertain terms."

Derek furrowed his brow and drew a blank for a moment. Did he just hear what he think he heard? He opened his mouth to speak, but the young man barrelled on.

“Okay, here it goes. Totally gonna ask you out now.” He took a breath and shook out his hands, then looked up with a saccharine smile. “Hey there handsome, are you from Tennessee? ‘Cause you're the only ten I see."

“Uhhh…"

“How about we get out of here and get to know each other a little better over a few drinks?"

Derek stared for a moment, watching the man's unfaltering plastered smile. This was not what he was expecting during his morning workout. “It's 8am."

He rolled his eyes. “Dude, I know. I'm trying to make this easy for you, so get on with it."

“Get on with what?"

“Oh, that's good, you're a bad listener. That helps, actually. I need you to reject me now. Please."

“Why?"

“Doesn't matter. Come on, let's do this."

“I'm free Saturday."

The young man paused, frozen in confusion. A light blush crept up his neck. It took a few seconds before he responded.

“What?"

“If you want to grab that—"

“No! No no no no no,” He started furiously shaking his head. “I mean obviously yes, but absolutely not. Did you hear a word I said?"

Derek shrugged. “Yes, but maybe I don't want to reject you."

The light blush darkened, and moved to his cheeks..

“You cannot possibly be interested in someone who used that pickup line."

“I thought it was funny." Derek smirked at him.

“I'm clearly a weirdo! Unhinged! Bad news! My dad is a cop, so I'll do a background check on you if you tell me your name!"

“Derek Hale."

“That's not---what is wrong with you? Do you have any self preservation skills at all? And you're supposed to be straight!"

“I'm supposed to be straight?"

“Yes! I mean look at you!"

He gestured to Derek, looking him up and down, eyes lingering on his crotch for a fraction of a second longer than expected.

“Okay, let's try this again,” sighs the young man. “Hello. I'm new to this gym, and I find myself quickly developing an unhealthy obsession with the thickness of your thighs. It would greatly help my sanity if you would firmly reject me, so I don't begin making a ten-year plan for our non-existent relationship. Can you please tell me that you are not interested in dating me?"

“Hmmm. No."

“You're fucking with me,” the man scowls.

Derek lets his smirk grow into a smile, then lifted his forearm to rest on the wall to his right. He leaned forward and drops his voice---a signature move with a very high success rate.

“So, Saturday?"

“Okay, I see what this is. You're a fuckboy, aren't you? I mean, I already assumed so, but you're, like, next level."

Derek straightens slightly. “I'm not—"

“You see me, an easy lay, and think, why not have a little fun?"

“Hold on—"

“Well you know what? Fuck you! You're an asshole, Derek Hale!"

He saw the hand raise, elbow bent back. He didn't brace himself for an impact. Why would he? There was no way this man was going to slap him. That would be ridiculous.

The young man slaps him. Stunned, Derek watches him pick up a bright red duffle from the floor and walk straight out of the gym. The slap wasn't hard, but it was definitely a first time experience.

Noah Stilinski has spent his entire life believing he was straight. He loved his wife, Claudia, raised a son, and dated women after her death. End of story... or so he thought.

When a casual conversation makes him realize that not everyone notices and appreciates attractive people regardless of gender the way he does, Noah finds himself questioning assumptions he's never bothered to examine. As he looks back on decades of quietly admiring both men and women, he begins to wonder if he isn't quite as straight as he always believed.

Part self-discovery, part midlife identity crisis, and part reluctant internet research rabbit hole, Noah navigates labels, attraction, and the realization that understanding yourself isn't always a one-time event. Sometimes, even after fifty years, there's still something new to learn.

something was wrong in beacon hills. derek was halfway across the country when he felt a call to return to his hometown, and somehow stiles had been talked into letting the werewolf stay in his guest bedroom. this could lead to nothing good.

[multi-fandom-imagine]

Noah Stilinski is so fucking hot

But like of course he's fucking hot as fuck, he's Linden Ashby aka Johnny Cage

[maybe-jello]

[ravewulf]

Steterek with Peter pushing Derek's buttons so his nephew will manhandle him, born wolves having no shame and not caring what the betas see.

And then the dilemma Derek faces when Sheriff Stilinski catches them instead. He has a reputation to uphold as the favorite unofficial son-in-law.

Meanwhile, Peter knows he's never going to be the favorite and has more fun playing up how disheveled and turned on he is by what Derek was doing.

I'm undecided if Stiles tries to help with damage control or if he sits back to watch Derek try to dig himself out of the hole he's found himself in, but either way, it does not help lol

[thenerdyindividual]

anyway what’s the overlap between Psych Fans and Teen Wolf fans, or is it just me and @sadieb798

[jhtyrrr]

I wanted to draw some medieval clothes for Merlin and try new rendering tricks. The last sketch took 15 minutes lol but I like this little sorcerer hat and twisted magic staff

[melioristicbeast]

Hey Jeff real quick i just have a few corrections hear me out - first of all the fuck-ass lighting, second of all-

The over the shoulder kiss sketch from earlier this week was inspired by this particular scene in S3E5 - and I figured why not just go to the source material and just do a straight up screenshot redraw. Marked mature just to be safe for the wound. Original screenshot, sketch and a lil' yapping under the cut:

First of all here's the original screenshot:

Like!!! What even are those colors, they are just straight up in grey-scale. I usually like to stick close to the colorscheme of these but this was just depressing lol. So I color-corrected to give everyone a little less of a corpse-like look, un-manscaped derek and obviously re-cast his romantic interest lmao.

Also here's the sketch for those of you who enjoy seeing them <3

Watching season 3 for the first time with friends, and while I know the major beats of the plot, it's fun to see the path things take on the way!

I quite like Jennifer honestly, it's nice to see a female character on this show who's allowed to be a little quirky and have a realistic level of 'WTF' to the supernatural shenanigans that happen 😆 I think it's a waste she's immediately thrown into a romance with derek that feels very strange for both their characters - but i look forward to finding out if it's intentional or it's just another heterosexual romance we're supposed to accept as-is lmao.

Anyway knowing Derek's luck this romance is probably going to somehow hurt him in the end so i'm doing my art version of a fix-it fic 😌❤️ Although I did make his wound a little more gore-y bc while I know our baby boy has a big ol' rack, i still think a big wound like that would go down to the bone <3

no spoilers please <3 I know the vague overarching plot with the Darach but as mentioned, I'm really enjoying experiencing the little twists and turns on the way there for the first time (:

im fucking crying

[bansheehale]

Derek being so socially uncomfortable when we meet him is one of the saddest parts of Teen Wolf to me. He was such a friendly kid who grew up in a wolf pack, wrestling and playing and having zero personal space. Everyone lived in one big house and ran around the woods together. His mom babied him and scratched his head. He played basketball. His big sister definitely used to tackle him and throw him around. He wasn’t built to be alone and every pack he builds he punishes for not being the original. He was never meant to be the leader. He was always the baby. He only survived because he was young enough to still be in school. Kate Argent when I get my hands on you-

[fuckthisshit-ugh]

please read this even if you're not indian. especially if you're not indian.

you've seen the jokes. india is "dirty", indians are "everywhere", why don't they fix their own country. ok. let me tell you why, and what's happening right now while nobody's watching.

first, the history you skipped: britain ruled india for two centuries and drained it. economist utsa patnaik's research estimates around $45 trillion in today's money was taken. the india that got independence in 1947 was one of the poorest countries on earth. every "why is india like this" question starts there. you don't get to profit off a robbery and then mock the crime scene.

now, what's happening RIGHT NOW:

in may the question paper for NEET leaked. that's the national medical entrance exam. over 2.2 million students took it. cancelled. years of studying, families' savings poured into coaching, gone overnight because someone sold the paper. students died by suicide after. these were kids who wanted to be doctors.

and out of that came a protest movement. a gen z group called the cockroach janta party, started by a 30 year old named abhijeet dipke, got 22 million instagram followers within DAYS. they've been doing a sit-in at jantar mantar in delhi demanding education minister dharmendra pradhan resign.

and then there's sonam wangchuk. if you've watched 3 idiots, he's the real engineer the character was based on. built solar schools in ladakh. invented ice stupas so himalayan villages have water. spent his whole life on education. he's 59 and he's been on hunger strike for 17+ days now. reporters went to see him this week and he was too weak to talk. and the troll armies are calling him "anti national" and "foreign funded". a man starving himself for other people's children. that's the thing here, anyone who asks a question is suddenly a traitor.

it's not one incident, it's everywhere you look:

• infrastructure worth thousands of crores failing within months of the ribbon cutting. tunnels collapsing in regions where heavy rain is a guarantee, not a surprise.

• youth unemployment near 10% for ages 15 to 29, 13.6% in cities. in a country of 1.42 billion where more than half the population is young.

• only about the top 3% of indians earn above 10 lakh a year. meanwhile billionaire wealth keeps ballooning and the headlines celebrate it.

• manipur burned for over two years. an ethnic conflict, tens of thousands displaced, and the prime minister barely said the word manipur while it happened.

• journalists raided. critics' houses bulldozed. activists sitting in jail for years without trial under laws like UAPA. our press freedom ranking has cratered.

• even the petrol is a fight now, ethanol blending pushed through while drivers complain about their engines and get no straight answers.

and through all of it, the PM, who came to power on religious polarisation (americans, sound familiar?), travels abroad for photo ops and has not held one single open press conference in over a decade. not one.

what i'm asking:

if you're not indian: share this. our media mostly won't cover any of it because the big outlets are owned by the same billionaires the government serves. the only reason wangchuk's fast is getting any coverage is people refusing to look away.

if you ARE indian: speak up even if you're comfortable. especially if you're comfortable. join the protests. add to this, correct me, translate it. staying quiet is a choice when nothing in this post touches your life.

india is not "dirty". india was robbed, and it's being robbed again, from the inside this time. but it's also the country where a 59 year old will starve for strangers' kids and 22 million young people will rally behind a party literally named after cockroaches, because cockroaches survive everything.

we can still save her. but only loudly.

reblog. share. don't scroll past.

His hand was warm, fingers trailing through his hair. Then again, it was always warm. “It’s getting long again,” Derek murmured softly. “Is that a problem?” “An observation.” There was a comfort in his voice, soft and relaxed. It made Stiles’ heart lighter every time he thought of how much it took to get here. How many nights were filled with pain and struggle and nightmares. “Will you shave it for me?” asked Stiles as he tapped his fingers against his chest. “If you want, but not right now.” Stiles smiled in agreement, barely moving at all. “Not right now.”

Thinking about these two getting married as less of a belief in the institution of marriage and more a chance to visually staking a claim on each other in every single way that they can 💭💭 Which got me thinking about other ways to mark each other - particularly bites and tattoos (and tattoos of bites, in derek's case 😌)

Stiles' tattoo is inspired by mare.blk whose work was also the inspiration in this one (:

"Heyyyyyy dad you're home early, it- uh- it's not what it looks like?" "It looks like someone's getting mauled" "Well I like to think the mauling's mutual-aaand he's covering his eyes, uh, stellar choice there, really 10/10 the judges are going wild-" "I'm going to Melissa's. Breakfast in the morning, both of you." "see I told you he wouldn't mind, now calm down and put those headlights away already"

1.5 years of sterek brainrot and I've somehow never drawn derek with red eyes nor the classic trope of the sheriff walking in on them? for shame, mel.

Any story featuring feral derek or him getting a little lost in his instincts are so important to me - this man who never gets to keep anything good in his life digging his claws into stiles and saying no, this one is mine, you can't have him - you see the vision 💭💭

a closeup as well as the lines under the cut, bc i quite like them on their own too:
