TEEN WOLF ▸ virgin river sterek au

after a personal tragedy, stiles leaves everything he knows behind for a job as the new deputy in a small town called beacon hills. it seems like an idyllic place to make a fresh start. maybe with the help of the local bartender, derek hale, stiles will finally be able to lay his ghosts to rest. but not everything is as picture-perfect and easy going in beacon hills as he first thought, and maybe derek and his family have their own ghosts that need taken care of.

I want to kick Erich von Däniken’s ass for all the bullshit he pulled in his stupid books. I did a PowerPoint for my friends about how much I hate the Ancient Alien’s bullshit and I just came out of it with hating the theory more and learning that he was utter garbage

If I ever meet Von Däniken I'm going to kick his teeth so far into his tonsils he'll be tasting with his ass for the rest of his life, so yeah, mood.

Ancient Aliens, where the history channel spends 4+ hours a night telling you how brown people couldn't have possibly built stuff. Generally between blocks of stories of how great nazi engineering was.

I'm going to start my first circular needle project soon. It's worked in garter stitch, so in the round that's alternating rows of knit and purl. It's going to have a seam up the back. I'm not sure how to work the last stitch in the round, though. Like, when you start the project and you do that first joining stitch and you put the stitch marker in front of it, do you then work that same stitch like the rest of the round and then start the new round after that, or do you work that stitch as the first stitch in a new round?

Magnus with long hair.

(ik this idea has been brought up before, but i'm just. thinking about it a lot.)

Magnus with long hair — not super long, but long enough that he'll tie it back in a bun to keep it out of his face.

Long enough that Alec can braid it, little cute braids or longer ones, while Magnus is taking a nap with his head in Alec's lap.

Long enough for Alec to run his fingers through it properly, admiring how soft it feels.

Long enough that Magnus can brush it out, let it hang down if he doesn't want to style it.

Long enough that Magnus is almost insecure about what Alec thinks — is it too feminine, too different, too untraditional? — although Alec rather likes it than otherwise.

Long enough that he can do the thing™ where the character ties their hair back and then is very very competent™.

just... Magnus with long hair <3

I just wanted to draw them kissing but I wanted it so much only one draw wasn’t enough. In my defense I was left unsupervised while hiding under a plaid with my computer (it gets warm after a while under here..). I regret nothing. u_u/

For Novice Writers: the quick test for Are You Being Scammed Or Not...

I read a sad case today of a young writer who had had her story rewritten into illiteracy by a so-called publisher, who then abused her in email when she wrote to complain. She wsn’t getting paid for her story – instead she was actually buying copies of the anthology to show people that she had sold a story. And I thought, it is time to remind the world, and to enlighten young writers, about…

Yog’s Law: 

Money flows towards the writer.

That’s all. All writers should remember it.  When a commercial publisher contracts a book, it will pay an advance against royalties to the writer. Money flows towards the writer. Literary agents make their living by charging a commission of between 10 and 20% on the sales that they make on behalf of their clients, the writers. When advances and royalties are paid by a publisher the agent’s percentage is filtered off in the direction of the writer’s agent but the bulk of the money still flows towards the writer. If a publisher ever asks for any sort of financial contribution from a writer, they’re trying to divert money away from the writer, in direct contravention of Yog’s Law. If an agent ever asks for up-front fees, regardless of what they call them (reading fees, administration costs, processing fees, or retainers), then they are trying to divert money away from the writer, in direct contravention of Yog’s Law. It’s a brilliantly simple rule. We should thank James D Macdonald for it in the best way there is. Buy his books

Money flows toward the writer.

No, that doesn’t mean that the author should get paper and ink for free, or that he won’t pay for postage. It does mean that when someone comes along and says, “Sure, kid, you can be a Published Author! It’ll only cost you $300!” the writer will know that something’s wrong. A fee is a fee is a fee, whether they call it a reading fee, a marketing fee, a promotion fee, or a cheese-and-crackers fee.

Is this perfect? No. Scammers have come up with some elaborate ways to avoid activating it. But it’s still a good and useful tool, and will save a lot of grief. Any time an agent or publisher asks for money, the answer should be “No!”
