ok you know how teen wolf has so many sponsorships. every other episode it’s like #spon look at this AT&T phone or #ad for the new honda civic! like it’s painfully obvious. good thing they put all their ad revenue to use with their amazing cgi!!
so anyway i think if the show were airing now they would get all these sponsorships like with podcasters and youtubers. they’d have to fit them in seamlessly with segues and random situations that kind of fit the show because it’s a crazy show in general. but they’re still kind of wild and obvious. and they all somehow relate to stiles.
there’s a zoom in on the BetterHelp therapy website on stiles’ laptop. he’s looking first for a therapist that specializes in PTSD and ADHD, bookmarks the link, then searches for a trauma specialist as well as PTSD again. this link we see him text to derek. he doesn't reply but the read receipt shows he's seen it. a sentence flashes on the bottom of the screen.
“Use code SOURWOLF to get your first month of BetterHelp free! Terms and conditions may apply.”
[the laptop is a sponsorship too.]
a few episodes later when they’ve run out of money again we see stiles building a website. it’s a blog and it’s through Squarespace. we see him typing up journal entries about his supernatural shenanigans. then he goes on to rant about star wars and other recent random hyperfixations like the different kinds of occlupanids (bread tags). he checks his stats and there’s only a handful of views on his blog (milesofstiles.squarespace.com or alternatively, stilesyaps.squarespace.com) but there are a few comments. they’re all from derek.
“what the fuck is an occlupanid?” “aren’t you supposed to be studying?” “we just almost got killed and this is what you’re spending the rest of your night doing?” “don’t turn lightsabers into an innuendo, it’s a disgrace to star wars and you know it.”
“Create your dream website now! Use code STILES for 50% off your first month of Squarespace!” blinks on the screen below.
it’s the middle of the night and stiles’ room is pitch black except for the glowing light of his laptop as he hunches over it in bed. there’s a zoom in to NordVPN on his screen and he’s connected to someplace in Delaware. we think he’s watching porn but he’s actually furiously typing and navigating to supernatural sites. the vpn is on so his dad doesn’t find out. he doesn’t give a shit if his dad knows he’s watching werewolf porn, that’s just one of his extracurricular activities, everyone knows that. but the supernatural world must stay hidden for now. he’s not ready to come out about that one yet.
“Use code FURRY for seven days free of NordVPN! Protect your internet now!”
stiles pays attention to everyone. he practically has files on them. (stiles’ files. files of stiles. miles of files of stiles.) he also observes derek needing to chill the fuck out. so what does stiles do? look up knitting tutorials for the man. he finds the ones on youtube aren’t giving him enough info and the cameras are too shaky and the quality is grainy and stiles is nothing if not nice, okay. he just wants the best for derek.
so he logs onto Skillshare and scrolls until he finds the perfect beginner knitting tutorial. the teacher is a sweet old lady with a soothing voice and it’s just what he wanted. he texts the link to derek and we see him add a few skeins of yarn and knitting needles to his Amazon shopping basket. except they can’t get Amazon as their sponsor so it’s just Scamazon.com instead. stiles has Scamazon Prime so the order will be here tomorrow. he can’t wait to give it to derek and see all his stress melt away. Stiles throws in a couple bath bombs for him too, what the hell.
“Pick up a new hobby today on Skillshare with code LEARN69!” (the numbers were randomly generated but the writers didn’t clock anything strange. they're not great at paying attention to detail.)
stiles cooks most meals for him and his dad. they’re healthy, or at least they’re trying to be. but it’s a lot of work meal prepping and cooking in between his schoolwork and supernatural business and saving everyone’s asses every week. so he gets the HelloFresh meal kit.
he picks all the non-bacon options and steers clear of all the keto meals. it’s just that when the kits come, there’s always an extra serving left no matter how much stiles eats. and he doesn’t really want to eat a lot of it because yeah it’s kind of gourmet but it also still sucks very slightly and he just wants a damn pizza once in a while instead of a quinoa bowl.
but he’ll do anything for his dad so he keeps making the meals and having some left over. a thought occurs to stiles which is that someone else he knows could really use a gourmet meal or two, and loves eating healthy as well. so stiles buys a pack of glass tupperware containers (the fancy kind) and we see him packaging up the extra portion of his meals every night and driving them over to the loft. he leaves them on the doorstep before he knocks and then runs away, looking like a little giggling gremlin all the while. it’s like a reverse prank.
derek opens the door suspiciously the first time but stiles’ scent is all over the container. he picks it up and we see him a minute later scarfing it down, letting himself enjoy the meal stiles made for him, the best meal he’s had in a while. he returns the clean container the next day without a word, leaving it on stiles’ desk, and a new filled container is on his doorstep that same night.
“Try your first box of HelloFresh for free! Use code TUPPERWEREWOLF and sign up today!”
so that’s how teen wolf starts making more money and the cgi improves drastically and all the plot holes fix themselves and sterek becomes canon. and one of the writers becomes a male podcaster and spills the tea on all the behind the scenes drama and he continues getting sponsored by these companies but it doesn’t even matter because we finally got a good show out of it. also the movie never happened. the end

anyway been writing omegaverse this week for the first time in uhh *checks notes* 11 years and have to say something i find interesting about it is that it's this like. frankly very normal fetish thing that's just breached containtment to a bizarre degree?
on 2 separate occasions i've had conversations with people where they've mentioned something they don't Get about omegaverse and I've been like 'well it's like that bcos it's a fetish thing' and they've been like 'it's a what??'
it gets treated as this like stock fandom AU and i'll see people like 'i don't understand why anyone wants to read this' and i'm like yes that's bcos it's pretty intense* fetish content & you don't have the right assortment of fetishes for it? there's a bunch of other similar Stock Settings that just haven't breached containment.
*intense as in like, Density of fetish content involved rather than intensity of fetish if that makes sense?
im alright with fetish ideas 'breaching containment' because then its less stigmatized but like its still fetish content and its a little perplexing how people could read omegaverse stuff and not realize its fetish content?
SO i think i've observed 2 separate but related things going on:
firstly the aforementioned demographic of people who have somehow genuinely failed to clock that it's a kink thing
but also a second demographic of people who seem to have taken its like. prominence in fandom spaces as a sign that they're somehow 'expected' to like it? i've not really seen this attitude with any other kink.
ppl will talk about it the way they might talk about say high school/college AUs or coffee shop AUs which are very common and i guess are sometimes presented as things that everyone finds fluffy & relatable? when in reality it's more like idk. piss kink. it'd be pretty weird to read a piss kink fic and go 'ewww why does the author expect me to find piss sexy??' well they don't. they expect people who already think piss is sexy to read the fic.
In the name of historical accuracy here is the actual origin point on omegaverse:
Obviously there was a process of development leading up to it but this kink meme prompt led to whats generally accepted as the OG. Ultimately the brain child of this anonymous poster. Have they ever identified themselves??
An important thing to remember here is that while I appreciate why some people find world building heavy omegaverse puzzling or irritating, the fact that someone is writing primarily or exclusively SFW social commentary w world building omegaverse does NOT mean it's not a kink thing for them. Maybe world building is their kink. You don't know.
this post is going around again so have an additional Thought:
the omegaverse belongs to an genre i have mentally dubbed 'speculative kink'. there are various other types of speculative kink; a well known example in fanfiction spaces is the dom/sub AU, a kind of precursor to omegaverse where the premise is 'what if everyone was biologically a dom or a sub'.
however: there various other shared speculative kink settings out there. unfortunately I cannot get into this too much without discussing some uhhh Devils Sacraments I have attended so you will have to trust me. but I'm aware of several other demographics out there doing speculative kink worldbuilding.
a major difference between omegaverse and the other speculative kink settings I'm aware of is that omegaverse takes itself much more seriously. omegaverse works are often aiming to be understood as serious commentary on gender roles with legitimate worldbuilding. in contrast other speculative kink is typically very open about the fact that the worldbuilding is complete nonsense that exists in service of getting to the kink as soon as possible.
this is something that I think really adds to the Confusion around it! to be clear I do not think it's a bad thing and the fact is, yes you can use kink to explore social themes. but there is sometimes an apparent contradiction between the implied aims of an omegaverse work (to comment on gender roles) and the basics of the setting (Turbo Gender Roles).
Peter is obsessed with Stiles to the utmost degree. Can't stop thinking about him. He thinks he might be cursed.
Isn't this just canon? 😆
But for real though, Peter getting in so deep with his crush on Stiles that what started out as paranoid obsession loops back around to just paranoid. Stiles is a dumb kid, Stiles is the Clever One tm, Stiles is the most fascinating thing on the planet, Stiles is a mastermind, Stiles MUST HAVE PUT HIM UNDER A SPELL–Nothing else explains why Peter finds it so fascinating to watch him drink mountain dew in his yoda pajamas and fail at COD for 48 straight hours Peter used to be smart, he used to be powerful, he used to have a life outside of stalking this walking teenage disaster-
still fucks me up what a bad rap coyotes get in peoples eyes. like ive talked to people who see em as like. gross pests who should be culled. theyre literally just as cool as wolves just a lil smaller and less confident. i love them with all my heart to balance out all the coyote haters out there, coyotes rule theyre doing great
this post was so fucking funny I literally was just like “I like coyotes I think they’re cool” and so many people fucking hated it. Shut up I’m trying. To enjoy animal
HEY that's MY emotional support morally ambiguous misunderstood full of trauma touch starved yearning for love drenched in blood responsible for numerous atrocities comfort character who is TRYING & u will TREAT them with RESPECT
This is a reminder that your work's popularity has nothing to do with it's quality!!!! Just because you might not have a lot of readers doesn't mean your work isn't amazing.
