BITCH, I FEEL GREAT.

[invisible-storyteller]

Isaac: I wanna get my ears pierced Stiles: Great to see you embracing your inner emo Erica: He just wants to look like Derek Isaac: No, I don’t. Erica: Yes, you do. Isaac: Says the one who got a triskele tattoo for her 18th birthday Erica: We all got that, shithead Stiles: Woah, okay, Isaac, what’s all this about? Boyd: They found an old picture of Derek with his ears pierced Erica: Did you know he used to have a MySpace page? And bangs? :D Stiles:… Stiles: Show me

[blurbitch]

It’s glorious is what it is. Somehow Derek’s MySpace page, while totally inaccessible even to himself, Stiles was able to eventually find his photos. He’s always thought that Derek was a born wolfy jock, having seen pictures of him in his basket ball uniform and that one photo with Paige. Apparently, those were rare occurrences in dressing normal-basketball- and trying to impress the parents-Paige.

He prints out the pictures because he has to, one, because there are pictures of Derek with his friends and they’d seemed really close. He wonders if they still talk or hang out-Missus English and Missus Lopez are in a freaky amount of these pictures and it’s weird seeing his old algebra teacher and the high school librarian all dolled up with skunked hair. Dear god.

And Derek. Precious, sweet, adorable Derek who was cute in this jock photos was absolutely and hilariously adorable in what Stiles assumes is him hanging out with the chorus class in 2003.

His feaux hawk is styled in most photos but theres one where it isn’t, the tip of the hair hanging over one of his eyes and Stiles can see it, he can see the earrings and

“ARE THOSE FCKING GAUGES?!” Stiles is pretty sure one of this thumbs could fit through those.

His hazel green eyes looked bright against the dark eyeliner he wore and his clothes were dark, of course, but his shirts always had at least one band or a cartoon.

“Dude thats Vegeta. How do you not know who Vegeta is, you’re a nerd.”

“I don’t watch anime, sue me.”

“Worst nerd ever, dude. Jackson’s not a nerd and he knows who Vegeta is.”

“I don’t care about this vegetable let me laugh my ass off at baby Derek in peace!”

He was wearing big baggy jeans with an assortment of straps, the bottoms were torn to hell and dragged behind his dirty converse sneakers and his hoodie looked a bit familiar-

“Isn’t that yours, Erica?” Stiles points to the picture of Derek in a back and red checkered hoodie with thumb holes. It’s skin tight on Derek and looks like it wouldn’t be that comfortable.

“I borrowed it.”

Stiles snorts.

“You guys trade off makeup too?”

“Just the once when he got tickets to that one concert. What was it Boyd?”

“My Chemical Romance. He didn’t shut up about it for weeks.” Boyd says a little annoyed.

“Oh my God.”

Stiles makes copies for himself but the others he lays out on Derek’s kitchen counter. And then he waits, he waits and waits and waits for Derek to come home because he needs to see the look on his face as he comes face to face with his sordid and embracing emo past.

“I knew this day would come.” Derek says, his computer bag hitting the wood tile by his feet as he stares at the pictures in his coffee table in horror. “The betas told you?”

“Isaac let slip, considering they knew he assumed I did too.” Stiles, like a cat caught the canary, grins. “So, wanna tell me who Alkaline Trio is and why you liked them so much? Cuz I am seeing a lot of those posters in what I can assume is your bedroom in these photos here.”

“Shit…Maggie looks like a baby in this. I haven’t even looked at these in years.” Derek picks up one where he’s got his head tossed over laughing with a young Missus Lopez’s arms around his middle as she lifts him up. “I’ve gotta show her these.”

So they still hang out. Thats nice.

“Alkaline Trio is a band.”

“Figured Evanescence was more your thing.”

“It was.”

“Oh God.”

Peter, who had walked in was shaking with laughter at the photos and Derek was pretending that he wasn’t there. It wasn’t that he was embarrassed about his past it was just that…he was a little embarrassed about it. Erica told him it was because of the cringe, I guess, thought Derek. He had a lot of fun before his senior year, he was graduating early having moved up two grades.

“Oh nephew.”

“Shut it.”

“So the gauges. You didn’t have them when you were on the team and those never heal up nice and normal for regular humans with surgery right? So how did you manage to convince people that they just shriveled up and healed on their own in like no time?”

“The summer before junior year I pretended to get surgery. My mother sent me to my aunts place in Connecticut and Maggie and Keisha were the only ones who knew about me and convinced anyone who was curious that my mother was sick of seeing them and forced me to get the gauges removed and my lobes corrected. Kids are pretty stupid so it wasn’t hard to lie about it.”

“Dude my thumbs could fit in those.”

“Oh yeah, I didn’t post the other pictures. They were so small here.”

“How much bigger did you get them?”

Derek texts someone, probably Missus English or Missus Lopez, with a small grin on his face which lights up to a smile when he shows Stiles the picture.

“You can fit three fingers in there, holy shit!” Stiles says, staring at the picture of teen Derek with large gauged holes in his ear stretched so tight the rings looked red.

Peter winced.

“I certainly did not miss that.” He said. “Masochist.” He said to Derek.

“I really liked them. If our lives weren’t terrible I’d get them again.”

“But not to that size, right?” Stiles hands Derek back his cellphone.

“Why not. They looked great and it was a lot of work to get them that way.” Derek shrugs. He’s not as embarrassed about his past now the more he looks at himself in the photos. “Hold on let me just-” He starts texting.

“Who you talking to?”

“Keisha. I need more pictures.”

“Tell Missus English I said hi.”

———

“Did you know that Derek had an emo phase?”

“I mean, yeah.” Scott gives Stiles a look and even Allison looks unimpressed. “Wait, you didn’t?”

“Stiles, you’re with him all the time how did you not know this?”

“I don’t know! We never talk about his past or the things he did in high school because, I don’t know if you know this but Derek’s high school life was terrible.”

“Yeah, for one year, his senior year sucked ass but not the years before. Dude, he’s like best friends with Missus English and Missus Lopez, they hang out at The Hideout on Tuesdays.” Lydia, who had been filing her nails, pauses and looks at Stiles like he’s an idiot. Admittedly he kind of is in this situation. He’s in both packs, sort of, how could he not know when even Scott’s pack knows.

“They really like the band that plays there on Tuesdays. Well, when they’re not like touring Europe or when they’re not at the ither Hideout in Iowa or something. I think Peter went to high school with those guys.”

“What was his name? Ernie?”

“I think it was Chrissy? Wait thats the guys wife.” Allison corrects and then turns to Stiles. “Peter was an alternate bass player for them sometimes, I think in 86’ or 87’?”

Stiles, who had innocently been sipping his coffee spitz it out, can taste the Irish cream streaming out of his nostrils in shock because-

“PETER WAS IN A HAIR METAL BAND IN THE 80’S AND NONE OF YOU THOUGHT TO TELL ME BEFORE THIS?!?!”

Scott jumps back-such keen werewolf reflexes- while Allison shakes her head in laughter.

Lydia snorts, amused.

“Are you sure you’re partly in their pack? You don’t seem to know a thing about them.”

I’m sorry, but I don’t talk to Peter unless I have to. Why would I know this?”

“Because he’s proud of it Stiles. He’s got photos of himself from some middle school talent show hung on his wall with a plaque beneath it. It was their first concert. He talks about it endlessly.”

Before Stiles could squeak out anything Jackson comes inside the bedroom exhausted from training. He tosses his gym bag on Lydia’s love seat and hits the bed hard face down. “Oh God I could hear Stilinski having a screaming fit from a mile away. What are we talking about?”

“How Stiles didn’t know about Derek’s emo phase or about Peter’s stint as a rock star.”

“Seriously Stilinski? Are you deaf. They talk about this shit all the time. Derek was in tears when My Chemical Romance announced their tour, literal tears and wouldn’t shut up about it. He had Lydia help him with his eyeliner.”

“I helped him with his liberty spikes.” Allison says happily. “Kira painted his nails.”

“And Malia went with him because her mom liked the band and she missed the music.” Scott adds. “They still gush about it, to this day, Stiles. They gush.”

“Yeah, and Peter is constantly gabbing with his old friends about the music and how much it’s changed and how soulless it is. About how its-”

And this is where Lydia, Allison, Scott and Jackson speak as one as though they’ve heard it all before:

“Nothing but generated garbage that sounds the same. There’s not heart in metal anymore, man, it’s all pop, it’s lost it’s meaning and has been sucked into the void of conformity.”

Stiles stares in shocked askance and Scott shrugs.

“He’s really sad about it. He talks about it constantly and that one time at your house, dude. He, your dad and Allison’s dad were screaming about music for like hours last week. You live there. How did you not hear any of this.”

“That day? Dude I was binging X-Files. I did not come up from air out of my room for like two days.”

Stiles left Lydia’s place feeling a little lost and silly about the entire thing trying to piece together any parts of these conversations that might have gone over his head. “Guess I’m not as observant as I thought.”

Wondering what else he didn’t know, wondering if it would be just as shocking.

Until it was revealed that Chris Argent, terrifying bad ass hunter used to be a theater kid.

“What. Thee. Fuck?!”

Derek looks unimpressed as Allison pops in a tape of her father performing Fiddler On The Roof, in college.

“Really Stiles? Every time we’re in his house he and Allison are watching his old tapes. I think it was Oklahoma last week.”

“Why do I know nothing? Why?”

Wait till he hears about his dad being a bit of a movie star in the nineties.

“JOHNNY CAGE?! DAD! PAPA! HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME?!?!?”

The Sheriff points to a picture of himself on the wall with Stiles mother…they were obviously attending a movie opening.

The picture if large on on their mantle. For years.

“Really son? I still go to conventions for this.”

these human creatures have strange customs. some are nice tho

[wheeloffortune-design]

I want to apologise to

- Britney for making fun of her when she had her breakdown

- Monica Lewinski for judging her when she was a 22year old temp sexually assaulted by the most powerful man in the world

- Ke$ha for ever thinking she was trashy when all she wanted to do was make party music

- Kristen Stewart for ever thinking she was dumb when she’s actually one of the coolest people ever

- Megan Fox for ever thinking she was just a slut when actually she was an actress being harassed by her employer. 

- Hating all the women who made a career out of having a hot body. Being is shape is hard, beauty is a weapon and auto promotion is hard work. 

- All the Mary-Sues, who exist because young girls everywhere want to be part of a story they love so much

- All the female characters I ever snobbed because they got in the way of my ship.

- Hating the color pink during my teenage years, when it’s actually a lovely color and what I resented was society’s pressure to perform femininity.

This is what sexism does. The media runs a smear campaign against women. And when we were younger we knew no better and trusted them. Now we know better.

every person can feel freddie’s presence in their souls when they sing MAMAAAAAA UUHHHH, I DONT WANNA DIE, I SOMETIMES I WISH I’VE NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL with all the air in their lungs i’m not joking

[peachdisco]

it’s fucking crazy to think about the amount of people who have sung bohemian rhapsody? like it’s such a unifying song, by nature of the fact that so many people know it. it holds so many good memories for me and other people. it’s a song you scream in the car with your friends while you drive around your boring hometown, it’s a song you drunkenly sing with your arm around your best friend, or a song you sing along to with strangers when it’s on in public. it’s bittersweet to think about freddie’s legacy carrying on like that through his masterpiece. freddie carries on because he’s a part of so many people’s good memories and bohemian rhapsody is a huge part of that.

Reblog if you have sung bohemian rhapsody with your friends

[reikah-deactivated20190906]

every time i see this post i’m reminded of the video of 65,000 people singing bohemian rhapsody in near-perfect harmony

like, what other song can make that claim?

[crewdlydrawn-deactivated2022072]

Some of the highlights of that video include:

The crowd cheering after the first stanza when they realize what they’re all doing

So many people audibly ‘doing the guitar parts’… like ya do

The sheer number of voices joining the rediculous falsetto (thanks, Roger)

How they all start jumping at the ramp-up “so you think you can stomp me”

Hands up, hundreds, thousands deep for the final “ooooo”s and the last line to close the song

[aces-to-apples]

Only days before my state went into lockdown, “Bohemian Rhapsody” came on in the restaurant kitchen I’d just been hired at and, no shit, every single worker in that little diner started singing along. Me (the only queer afaik), the manager, all the other kitchen workers, the dishwasher up front, the two people on the counter, all but two of the men over 30. Just belting out Freddie Mercury at the top of their lungs. And you can bet when “sometimes I wish I’d never been born at all” came around, we every single one of us ramped up the intensity and basically made sure Freddie could hear us in the afterlife.

favorite sterek scenes:                 -> 1.12 stiles + being protective over derek

[linbrocky1221]

WHY HASN’T ANYONE TALKED ABOUT THIS?! SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE A FIC ABOUT THIS!!!! @thepsychicclam @sterekficlets @pale-silver-comb @ficsforsterek @sterekwriters @colethewolf @bleep0bleep

[asagimeta]

But wait wait I am SO bitter that this isn’t one of The Main Scenes Of Sterek Culture, like everyone gushes about the pool scene, the elevator scene, the Miguel scenes and that’s fine, obviously, there’s nothing wrong with that, but no one ever talks about THIS. SCENE. and this is just… such an important one? Because this says so much about Stiles as a person and how he is in the Sterek relationship

You have this 16-year-old kid, just barely having gotten inducted into the world of the supernatural, he’s staring at two things here:

1. A hunter, a dangerous person who could and WOULD hurt Stiles if he was so inclined, who has a history of hurting innocent people for virtually no reason

But also

2. Another human being, Chris has no reason to kill Stiles because Stiles is human, and if Stiles were to back down and submit to what Chris was asking- or even just, you know, not mouth off- there’s a pretty fair chance Chris would just leave him alone, or atleast not kill him

And Stiles has not ONLY made his loyalties clear- he sides with the wolves, he’s always sided with the wolves, and he generally has an even harder time working with hunters than some of the other non-born-wolf people on this show do- but he’s also gone above and beyond

This isn’t just Stiles being his usual smart-mouthed self, he’s taking Derek’s side, no matter what his relationship with Derek is right now, no matter what this other HUMAN is telling him, he’s taking Derek’s side, instead of using one of the many things that hunters have done to SCOTT as an example, he takes the ultimate crime they committed against DEREK as an example and he takes it to heart, he’s not just getting in a jab at Chris here, he’s making it very clear that his loyalties lie not only with Scott, but with Derek and wolves in general

This is Stiles saying “Scott is not a special case, this is not me loving my best freind and trying to look past his species, this is me being a full-on supporter of werewolves and telling you that none of your intimidation tactics are going to change my mind” and that’s amazing

This is one of my favorite things and one of the scenes that really pushes, in my opinion, the Stiles Is Part Of The Hale Pack semi-canon, because Stiles stood with Derek and stood with WOLVES in a way that even Scott wavers on at times (“Maybe they deserved it” *shudder*)

This is the perfect example of why I will ALWAYS headcanon Stiles as being an intensely active wolf-protector, as someone who will always be more inclined to sympathize with wolves than hunters, as someone who would have lived and breathed and died for the Hale pack totally regardless of his individual relationships with any of them

And this is one of the best things about Sterek that kind of only gets talked about in fic rather than meta: That Stiles sees Derek as a person when no one else wants to

Stiles doesn’t get dragged into the werewolf stuff by force like Scott does, he jumps in willingly and makes peace VERY early on with accepting and SUPPORTING werewolves as people instead of trying to blame them, other them, or worst of all, bully, harm, or hunt them (wow the allegories are strong with this one)

I just… I just want more of this scene and what means about Stiles as a person- and what it means for his relationship with Derek, the Hale pack, and werewolves in general- in the fandom ok?
