How it feels to read a really good fic and find the author has dozens more like it 

[alirhi]

clearly unpopular opinion, but Derek would not be the dominant one. idc that he's taller, older (and no one, not even the actors, knows how much older lol) and has superpowers. Derek is the softest fucking werewolf on the show. he gets beat up more than Stiles does. he's consistently shown to be unsuited to being an alpha. Stiles is a snarky bastard whose response to being threatened by people with literal superpowers is to threaten them right back. even when he admits he's afraid of someone, he still has no problem standing his ground if he feels it's worth it.

Forget gruff top Derek and leetle softboi Stiles. Give me tired, jumpy Derek who can only finally let his mask down and work through his trauma around his boyfriend, who maybe doesn't seem like much at first glance, but goes toe-to-toe with crazed shapeshifters and kicked a demon out of his own body and once held paralyzed Derek up in a pool for two fucking hours do you know how much denser muscle is than fat?! Derek had the buoyancy of a goddamn anvil.

Derek is soft and forced to act tough. Stiles is tough as hell but constantly dismissed and underestimated. Derek offered to teach Scott how to be a wolf but couldn't because he was born one. Stiles figured it out with one night, an internet connection, and a fistful of Adderall (and a nice big dose of spite XD).

let Derek be soft. Stiles's got him.

listening to fleetwood mac is like. i don’t know this song but let’s give it a shot. oh wait i do know this song. i’ve heard it a million times and always liked it, i just didn’t know the name. on some level i kind of assumed that song was just an ambient part of the world the way the sound of the wind or birdsong in the trees was but apparently it’s by fleetwood mac. neat.

Why isn't anyone talking about how Steve and Dustin represent healthy friendships between men that we need more of in main stream media

Like-- there was crying, hugging, emotional honesty, without it ever being written off as emasculating or dismissed for comedic effect

[casually-eat-my-soul]

I absolutely love the idea of Stiles being vaguely off. Just uncanny valley feeling for everyone.

Growing up as a spark, not human and everyone around him could feel, in a way that would raise the hairs on the back of your neck or see a shadow out of the corner of your eyes. People couldn’t tell why Stiles was different, some blamed his adhd, others his intelligence but there never was a definite reason.

After being possessed, this feeling grows and suddenly those of supernatural beings began to feel the same. Something older and darker lived and died there. The corpse of a god still has power. Stiles is that graveyard, the vessel of a chaos incarnate dead. The wolves around him wonder why their first instinct is to bare their teeth at him. Lydia questions why Stiles feels so other.

And is way worse with humans now. People flinch when they realize that he standing beside them, they do a double take when their eyes meet his.

Well all accept for Derek.

Maybe alpha bait stiles?? Alpha are drawn to the power??

if i were a beta in the omegaverse i'd be so mad watching my coworkers get paid heat/rut leave while i get nothing. it's like when your fuckass coworker gets to take a cigarette break mid-shift and come back smelling bad but instead they get to go home and fuck nasty for a week because they made the choice not to take suppressants meanwhile i have to stay in the office running spreadsheets with debra whose scent patches don't do anything to hide the smell of mothballs or the alpha from marketing she's cheating on her husband with

Fic where Eddie ruins his chances with Steve because of casual biphobia.

One time Steve went to the gay bar with Eddie and Robin to be their DD if they didn't end up going home with someone else and Eddie brushes off a guy that seems SUPER interested and when Steve asks why Eddie isn't interested, Eddie's casually saying yeah, he was good looking but that guy's into woman, too, and Eddie's not into people who like both.

And that's Steve's Ah Ha! moment. He feels stupid for not realizing on his own that you can like both but now that it's been said it all just kinda clicks into his brain.

Then Dread sets in as he realizes that the only thing holding him back from wanting to be with Eddie was that Steve, genuinely, thought you HAD to pick one gender to like and he'd made his irreversible decision back in middle school with he kissed Mary during the first game of Spin the Bottle he'd ever played.

So, Steve's realized he wants to date Eddie and learned that Eddie won't be with someone who likes both. It's a terrible night for Steve all around.

And Eddie's comments don't stem from a place of actually hating bi people; it's just been years of growing up in Hawkins and being someone's dirty little secret while watching the same boys that fuck him from behind in a dark bedroom walk around the halls of Hawkins High holding their girlfriend's hands.

And because it's gotta be Steddie for me, Eddie's crushing on Steve and would absolutely go out with Steve if he asked. But Steve never asks because Eddie is so vocal with his opinions on everything and he's got no filter so he's unintentionally mocked Steve's sexuality 3 times TODAY. There's no way Steve will ask; not when he's so sure the answers going to be know.

Then ooppps. Steve gets a boyfriend and Eddie has a meltdown about it because Steve never even told him he was into guys!!

I just love all the angst potential.

[1986hell]

Eddie avoids Steve as he can’t take much of listening to him gush about his boyfriend and avoids Robin by proxy.

Eventually Steve calls him out for it, attributing it to his bi-phobia.

So Eddie just word-vomits the whole thing. The ‘dirty little secret’ explanation for his bi-phobia, his crush, how [Steve’s boyfriend] makes Steve happy so Eddie feels guilty about being moody around him.

Steve just stares at him, taking it all in for a few long breaths before saying, “So we could have been dating months ago if not for your shitty attitude?”

“Should you be saying that while you have a boyfriend?”

“We had a mutual breakup a week ago which you would know if you weren’t sulking and avoiding everyone.”

Eddie gets a bit of a hopeful look in his eyes, visibly making Steve angrier.

“You’re on thin ice Munson. I’m frankly amazed that I still have enough of a crush on you to not just preemptively turn you down. And you’re definitely not getting out of this with just a verbal apology.”

“Wait, what do you want me to do then?”

Steve stops to think for a moment before saying, “Whatever it is, Robin has to give you the green light before you can officially ask me out.”

“I think just trying to talk to her would be an act of suicide.”

“She’s not that bad. Think of it as…” Steve sighs, trying to hide his small smile, …”a quest. But instead of slaying the dragon you have to befriend them.”

Eddie perks up a bit at this.

“Get going before I add Dustin to my ultimatum. And he liked [ex-boyfriend].”

Eddie jumps to his feet, immediately sweeping into a low bow. “Of course my princess. Ye dragon companion will be so happy with me, this humble bard shall become her new best friend.”

“Hey!” Steve snapped, not sure if he was mad about the princess nickname or the ‘new best friend comment. But before he could get any farther, Eddie slipped out the door.

Steve was honestly just stupefied into silence for a long moment before a voice spoke up from further in the house.

“How long do we give him before telling him I was here for the whole argument?” Robin asked as she peeked her head over the couch and grinned at Steve.

“He’ll cave and ask for you over the walkie within an hour.”

love the concept of Wayne not trusting Steve because of his reputation/knowing his father. but have we considered that he probably heard the news story about a girl disappearing from Steve’s house and might think he and his friends did some kind of hazing that went too far

[nancywheelesbian]

now the dad/son’s boyfriend distrust is funny but also imagine Wayne just being bone deep terrified. his kid is gay in the 80s Midwest and he’s been hunted before and now the guy he’s dating is an ex-jock who might’ve participated in killing someone. and he trusts him implicitly for some reason. just. Wayne not sleeping the first few times Steve sleeps over because he’s keeping watch in case Eddie gets hurt

[nancywheelesbian]

thought about this post again after MONTHS and just. the image of Wayne having seen Eddie half eaten in the hospital and being terrified of it happening again and then. he brings a potential threat into their home with seemingly no fear. it’s be emotional about Wayne hours chat

[nancywheelesbian]

@scoops-aboy86 no this goes IN THE POST. steve realizing that it’s not just fatherly protectiveness. Wayne’s cageyness around him isn’t worry for Eddie’s heart it’s worry for his safety. and he knew he used to be a jerk but he didn’t think he was THAT bad

Rewatching atla episodes for Reasons and I just realised that Zuko found Appa the night after he found out he was missing. The gaang have been desperately searching for, what? A few weeks? And Zuko sees a poster saying Appa is missing and just squares tf up and finds him immediately. What a fucking madman. 

[tarvek-sturmvoraus]

#this is why they put him in charge of the Fire Nation #there is nothing Zuko cannot find up to and including his country’s long lost sense of morality

i mean he had already managed to actually find the avatar, whom literally the entire world (except katara lmao) had believed was dead and gone forever. im pretty sure if zuko decides he is going to Find Something the universe rearranges itself to put it in his path.

[son-of-drogo]

This comes in handy when he has kids.

[awesome-cookies-and-cream]

Dude literally found:

🔥The avatar

🔥Appa

🔥His lost uncle via a sweaty sandal

🔥A secret civilization thought to be long gone

🔥The last 2 dragons existing

🔥Katara and Sokka’s Father plus Suki

🔥Katara’s mother’s murderer

🔥His honor

🔥His entire nation’s honor

I mean the dude was wild. He was born to find stuff. I don’t really know if he found his mother but like…that too. You kinda get why the Gaang saw Zuko and thought, hey what if we use him to find stuff?
