I'm forever going to push my awkward Derek agenda. I'm personally not a huge fan of him being super suave and confident. To me, he's a snarky antisocial weirdo that matches Stiles' awkwardness. I love them being low-key losers together, it's so great. Like, if they're not at least a little cringey, what's even the point?
Let him be weird and leave Stiles dead animals on his doorstep as a form of courting, fuck this cool shit, Derek is not cool!! (And I love him for it)
So, my brother and I made our mom play Deltarune, since she's really good at coming up with theories, and she said she thinks Carol is doing something to keep Rudy in the hospital and out of the way of her plans, and I think she onto something.
It makes sense, because with him stuck there, there's no one to protect Noelle, and Carol can do basically whatever she wants with no one to stop her. It's not like Noelle is gonna confront her mom if she notices something is up, and it totally seems like something Carol would do, tbh (if she's willing to treat her daughter and her daughters friends so poorly)
Every time I see the name Wilbur in any context I take 1 point of psychic damage.
Okay, so, I'm working on a story right now that heavily involves the Fae, and I am DESPERATELY trying to figure out how exactly their morals and customs are different from humans, but no one will give any examples or specifics.
So here I am, asking if anyone here has some answers? I want my Fae in my story to be more realistic and accurate to actual folklore, not like the "Fae" you see in stories like ACoTaR.
Obviously I plan on doing my own research, and have done some already, but it's pretty scattered and hard to gather anything concise and/or specific (I realize this is because the concept of Fae is spread across a bunch of different cultures one way or another, but still)
I'm just having a really hard time conceptualizing an entirely different system of beliefs, when I know basically nothing about it, and no one goes into any detail.
Am I the only one who thinks Feyre and Cassian would be more compatible than Feyre and Rhysand? I'm a couple hundred pages into the 2nd book, but I know a lot about the others, and based on what Feyre wants, Cassian seems like a perfect fit for her!
She wants independence and doesn't want to have to put on a performance or follow the social rules of being a "High" Lady, she wants freedom but still wants the power to help people, so marrying a General would be perfect for that!
He's the first person she truly snaps at since her first visit to the Night Court, and he laughs, finding her endearing. She also calls him Lord Cassian which makes everyone laugh, which was just a cute moment.
"How the hell did you make that bone ladder in the Middengard Wyrm's lair when you look like your own bones could snap at any moment?"
"How the hell did you manage to survive this long without anyone killing you?"
And,
"Cassian, is not a Lord. Though I'm sure he appreciates you thinking he is."
Her and Cassian instantly click, finding understanding in each other that Feyre has not seen up until this point, and when he gets sad after her question about how they all met, she wants to hold his hand! She hasn't had an urge like that for anyone else, from what I remember.
Azriel merely turned to Cassian, who was staring at Rhys with guilt and love on his face, so deep and agonized that some now-splinteres instinct had me almost reaching across the table to grip his hand.
And,
I'd never met anyone else in Prythian who had ever been hungry, desperate--not like I'd been.
Cassian blinked, and the way he looked at me shifted--more assessing, more... sincere. I could have sworn I saw the words in his eyes: You know what it is like. You know the mark it leaves.
I think Cassian would bring out the fire in her better than Rhysand, and I think it'd be good for her to be with someone who's lived a similar life and can understand her on a level greater than anyone else (Like Rhys, who has always had resources) Also Cassian would be less busy and have less responsibilities than Rhysand, so she wouldn't feel as alone and abandoned.
Literally the majority of her problems come from Tamlin being a High Lord so why on EARTH would she go marry another one!! It makes no sense! (Pretending mates aren't really a thing, cause I think that shit is kinda stupid ngl)
Their interactions are cute and I haven't had this much fun since Feyre and Lucien's conversations in the first book. (It's funny how I always like Feyre more with everyone except her actual love interests)
Also Cassian defends Feyre all the time, it sounds like, so I just think they'd be cute together, ignoring the whole fated mates bullshit.
(Yes men and women can be friends, of course, but honestly I'd prefer if Rhysand and Feyre were friends instead, I think they'd work better that way)
What genre is Undertale, Deltarune, and Homestuck? Cause I want more of whatever it is. That weird kinda-fantasy shit. I can't think of a specific way to describe it.
(I know Homestuck leans more sci-fi but it's still not like normal sci-fi)
Writing a fantasy book is just a series of asking yourself why over and over again. Why does this thing work like that?(x100) Why hasn't anyone else tried that before, and if they did, why didn't it work for them? Why is the main character special? This is why I don't write fantasy, it's a pain in the ass to make it good and sensible.
What I wouldn't give to know the full story of what happened with Paige. Like, Peter is OBVIOUSLY an unreliable narrator, Stiles canonically clocks that MF immediately, and he's never wrong, so I wanna know what actually happened!! Knowing Derek? He may be stupid but he's not enough of a piece of shit to ask someone to bite her without her consent, that just... Doesn't sound like him. And a lot of the little things Peter said sounded very suspicious to me, "He probably blames me for it :(" like fuck you Peter, you lying shit. (I love Peter but that man was NOT telling Stiles and Cora the full, unbiased truth)
Like why would Derek try to fight Ennis if Derek asked him to bite Paige??? And Peter saying, "where I saw profound tragedy, he saw opportunity." I call bullshit. It just doesn't make much sense, from what I remember.
(I wonder what it says about me that I can quote some of this episode just from memory)
There were a lot of red flags, but then the show just, never fucking elaborates. Like okay great, Stiles thinks Peter wasn't been entirely honest, so what now? NOTHING, that's what's now. Nothing.
Anyway, it was a weird episode and I really wish we got the real story from Derek, or something (Cause Gerard was lying during his half of that story too, and in my opinion, the whole point was that Peter AND Gerard were leaving things out and/or painting themselves to be better than they actually were)
I feel so bad for the few people who've read my fic series and gone "I really dislike Scott, so I love this!" Cause. Uh. I fully intend on forgiving him? I mean, I absolutely make him work for it, and Stiles sets boundaries, but like, I can't stay mad at Scott forever, I'm sorry y'all.
(Stiles and Scott have WAY too much relationship credit for Stiles to just never forgive him for the dumb shit he pulls in s1)
The extend of my Stiles obsession is so severe, I am measuring time in Stiles.
Whenever I have to establish a timeline for a fic, I don't do it by year, like y event happened in x year. I do it in Stiles' age. Stiles was z age when y event happened. This is not limited to events in Stiles' life though. It's like "so Claudia dies when Stiles is 8, the Hale Fire happens when Stiles is 10, Peter kills Laura when Stiles is 16, etc".
It's Stiles' world, I just write about it.
In all my teen wolf fics, I ALWAYS make Derek 19 in s1. There are multiple reasons why. One, I can't justify his weird antisocial stalker behavior otherwise, two, it makes more sense narratively, and three, I don't feel comfortable with Sterek if there's a larger age gap.
A 19 year old Derek being fucking scared out of his mind and struggling with the loss of his sister, but desperately trying to play it cool and aloof while having no idea how to actually talk to people is something I can completely understand. Like, yes, he's absolutely a creepy stalker at times, but he genuinely has good intentions, (and, in my fics, he's a stupid teenager too) He can be rude and insulting, and threatens Stiles and Scott multiple times, but that doesn't change the fact he doesn't want Stiles and Scott to actually get hurt. Derek's still actively protecting them, despite all the honestly kinda terrible things they say and do to him (mostly s1, it's a shit show, so I don't hold it against any of them too much, and I don't blame Stiles and Scott for being harsh at times, they were scared and didn't know Derek at all, I'd be scared too)
I think Derek's a little less mature due to his trauma, honestly. For starters, he was hiding in new York for 5-6 years with just his sister, and it seems like that's the extent of the social interaction he got. He never really had to learn how to talk to humans, since he just had his family of werewolves, who are experts at reading people and especially each other (being able to smell feelings and all) so yeah, of course Derek has no clue how to actually talk to Stiles and Scott. Secondly, he blames himself for the fire (and pretty much everything else, from what I remember) that would absolutely fuck you up, thinking you're responsible for your whole family's deaths. His anchor is literally anger, he's constantly punishing himself. Like, no wonder he's such an asshole. Thirdly, he has no trust in humans whatsoever (and I don't blame him) so yeah, he gave Stiles and Scott extremely vague answers and wouldn't elaborate on anything, because the last time he was open with a human, his entire family died. It's obvious in the way he talks to Scott about Allison. Like, when Scott says, "She doesn't know anything!" Derek replies, "What if she does?" And then later on, Derek yells at him, saying, "You're 16! You're not in love!"
I didn't even notice it till my most recent rewatch. He's so harsh about it because he lost everything to an Argent, because he thought he was in love, and doesn't want the same to happen to Scott (and Derek believes that humans, especially hunters, aren't safe. He doesn't want Scott to get hurt, and doesn't want to get hurt again himself)
And, alternatively, I think Stiles is more mature due to his trauma. Despite losing everything, Derek could still rely on his sister, while Stiles didn't have anyone, really. From what I remember, it really sounded like he was the one trying to take care of his dad, who was usually busy, and when he wasn't, had a drinking problem. He had to grow up fast, and yes, I know he doesn't always act like that, but we all know he just uses humor as a coping mechanism, and to prevent people from seeing how he's actually feeling.
He's dramatic and sarcastic, but he's also the one who immediately accepts Scott's a werewolf and spends all night researching it, he takes care of Scott and sticks by his best friend even when Scott tries to murder him, the few times he lost control. He tries to take care of everyone, honestly, and sure, he's an asshole about it, sometimes, but he's still there. He might be bitching about it the whole time, but, for example, in Magic Bullet(S1ep4) despite barely knowing Derek and being outright scared of him, Stiles never abandoned him.
Plus, at the end of the season, Stiles defends Derek! He snaps at Chris, who is threatening him verbally and physically. Like, he so clearly allies himself with werewolves as whole, not just Scott, even when ppl are threatening him, and he continues to do so, he never ONCE throws Derek under the bus (after he corroborates Scott's lie about Derek being the murderer) and like, that's kind of everything. Especially to someone who lost everything at the hands of an untrustworthy human, I imagine.
And, I mean, both Stiles and Derek make threats, but they rarely actually mean it. Stiles had no intentions of dumping Derek on the side of the road, and Derek had no intentions of actually killing Stiles or Scott.
The fact that Derek still tries to help Scott, after Scott accuses him of murdering multiple people and puts him on the run again, is proof of that, in my opinion.
Now, for Sterek, a 3-4 year age gap doesn't really bother me, but anything larger than that, when Stiles is still a teenager, is just too much. But, for Stiles and Derek specifically, I think 3-4 yrs is totally reasonable. See, the thing is, one of the main problems with most age gap relationships is that the older one has more life experience, but in this case, I'd argue Derek doesn't have much more life experience than Stiles does.
Derek's life was essentially put on hold for 5-6 years after the fire, he never had the chance to be a normal teenager, after that. Stiles might be younger, but both of them have lost people, they know what that kind of grief feels like, and I don't think there'd be any sort of power imbalance between them. They're equals. Stiles has no problem talking back to Derek and speaking his mind, and vice versa. I don't think Stiles was ever scared of Derek because he's a werewolf, I think he was scared because they thought Derek murdered someone. So, like, that's not a point of tension between them, it's not like Stiles (later on) is actually worried Derek will hurt him, and Derek (later on) trusts Stiles not to betray him or their pack.
It makes sense why they disliked each other at first, there were plenty of reasons to. Derek didn't trust Stiles because human=unsafe and Stiles was, admittedly, an asshole, and Stiles didn't like Derek because he was a weird stalker who he thought hurt his best friend.
But once they get past those things, I can totally see them being close friends, and more. Sure, there's plenty of things they disagree on, but they're also similar in a lot of ways, too. Like, this isn't an opposites attract situation (which I do love) because they're not opposites, even if it looks that way sometimes.
They both care way more than they let on, they both build walls and keep their friends out, they're both pretty jaded when it comes to trusting others (moreso later on, for Stiles) but help regardless. Oh, and they both blame themselves for shit that isn't their fault and take on huge amounts of responsibility even though they don't have to. I also think they're both nerds and probably have a good few shared interests. They'll argue on methodology but they value the same core things. Like, Loyalty? SO important, to both of them, same with trust. Plus, I think Derek's dry and blunt humor, and Stiles' sharpness and sarcasm, is a lovely combination.
So, in conclusion, I love them together and separately and think they're more compatible than they seem on the outside.
It's funny cuz I just made a post about how half the time I feel meh about Sterek, and then I get super carried away and rant about them for multiple paragraphs lmao. Basically I saw some character analysis posts (I adore everyone who makes those, btw, y'all are awesome!) and it revived my love for them.
(Again, if anyone disagrees with me or has anything to add, that's completely valid, this is just the way I interpret their characters, and I love hearing other ppl's thoughts!)
So, I'm working on a thing with some OCS I made a few years ago (originally DND characters) and like. I made them before I watched Teen Wolf, but a lot has changed since then, and I mean, anyone who's seen the show would take one look at my OCS and go "oh so you ship Sterek, then?" And they'd be 100% right.
Black haired "Alpha" werewolf dating a human who often wears red, is very invested in the supernatural world, AND has a little magic? Yeah, pack it up, bitch.
I just love them so much that it bleeds a bit into my own work, I can't help it. Magic human x werewolf pairings are the best.
(their personalities are very different, and appearances, as the werewolf is middle eastern and the human is blonde w/ blue eyes, but still, the vague resemblance is there to anyone who knows what's up)
Ok obviously I'm a werewolf girlie (vampires do not interest me, I think they're boring, sorry) but I just love wolves in general. They're so awesome.
Adorable, fluffy, they take care of each other, what more could you ask for? I was reading wolf courting behavior the other day since I wondered how it could be applied to werewolves, and it's so cute guys, omg.
For courting (from what I've read, I'm not an expert by any means), they're more physically affectionate and will sleep in the same space, and just like, follow each other around and honestly that's so real of them (and it's adorable)
I kind of fluctuate between thinking Sterek is super cute and thinking they're meh. It's really weird because I don't... Really feel that way about any of my other favorite ships? They don't stop being my favorite, even if I'm not hyperfixated on the show they're from.
Maybe it's cause, in canon, I don't think they're all that compatible? With all the headcanons and changes I slap on them, they are, but without all that added pizzazz, there's other characters they have more chemistry with, I think.
Generally as a fandom we're all on a similar page, so I think Sterek fanfics are great, but I'm rewatching the show right now and it doesn't make me like them more, it actually makes me like them less.
(This is just my opinion, btw, anyone who disagrees with me is totally valid)
I think it's kind of hilarious how a lot of season 1, it's Scott and Allison being cute with romantic music in the background, and then it just cuts to Stiles going through something horrific and traumatizing.
This post is apparently being seen as saying Scott has no trauma and Stiles has all the trauma.
This post is also apparently being seen as racist. I can't even understand how anyone could come to that conclusion.
We all know Scott has trauma. We all know Stiles has trauma. Every character in this show has trauma! And we all know it! This post wasn't saying Scott has no trauma, hell this post mentioned how cute and romantic a lot of s1 scenes with Scott and Allison are, which they are cute and romantic, and then it cuts to Stiles and horror. Which to be fair, s1 does that a lot because it's building up Scott's first love and his experience with falling in love with Allison.
That's in no way saying Scott has no trauma. Also trauma isn't a contest. Just because someone might have more, doesn't invalidate the trauma others have.
This post was meant to be funny but some of y'all felt the need to shame someone for something they didn't even do. No one was saying Scott doesn't have trauma in this post.
Also this post is not racist and I find it absolutely ridiculous for op being accused of being racist against Scott. I will say I'm pleasantly surprised the person accusing op of racism actually stuck up for Stiles and explaining he does in fact have trauma as well.
But then they go right to saying op's post is racist.
How in the world did that conclusion even happen? Like seriously, I'd ask the person who said it but I can't. But I just can't comprehend how a funny and cutesy post about how s1 is a lot of building up Scott and Allison's love and then bam! horror! is supposed to be racist.
This post isn't saying Stiles goes through more. It's not comparing them. It's stating how it's all lovey dovey and then it hits you with scary shit. I don't know why people insist on proving their favorite went through more trauma.
This post isn't implying that Scott was neglectful for pursuing Allison. Op isn't pretending it's a funny post, it is a funny post because the tone of the show changes so drastically from one second to the next and that's what op was saying.
But some people want to see racism in everything. I don't know if it's a superiority complex, white knighting, projecting, boredom, or just trolling. Because at this point, some people are really starting to seem like they are just online trolls trying to get a rise out of people.
Stop twisting what people say, insisting you know what they "actually mean" when you actually don't, and putting words in people's mouths. I've seen negative and positive posts accused of being racist. There's no pleasing them.
Calling everything racist makes it so much harder to call out actual racism. It waters down the word. Never mind that I've seen plenty poc, myself included, explaining how no, this thing is not racist, only to be called racist for daring to politely explain how what they are saying is not correct.
Oh and also... Not every single person in the Teen Wolf fandom has a racist agenda against Scott! Some of us are happy we got a main character who is a person of color to give us poc mc rep! And it honestly feels like that gets taken away from us when we are told, by white people I might add, that we are racist if we say any little thing negative about Scott or have a different character as our favorite.
Scott has flaws, just like everyone else in the show. Embrace it. Flaws make us human. Scott wants to hold on to his humanity so badly, so accept that he makes mistakes. Accept that at times, just like Stiles, he can be a bad friend because everyone is a bad friend at times.
But this whole trauma comparing seriously just feels like a 'my dick is bigger than yours' contest. Don't let that be the hill you die on. Seriously, it's not that deep.
That's exactly what I meant! I was commenting on how I thought the rapid tone shifts/cinematography were amusing, I didn't apply morality to it, and I wasn't trying to say either one of them had more trauma than the other. I don't really get how some people managed to get that out of my post.
And it's not a competition. This isn't the trauma Olympics, I think everyone in that show has been through a lot and there's no point arguing who's been through more.
I love all the characters dearly, including Scott, but they're all flawed and we, as a fandom, should be able to discuss and talk about that without being accused of bigotry. (Not that I was trying to start a conversation about that with my original post, because I'm not criticizing any of the characters in that one)
I think it's kind of hilarious how a lot of season 1, it's Scott and Allison being cute with romantic music in the background, and then it just cuts to Stiles going through something horrific and traumatizing.
I'm writing an episode by episode rewrite of Teen wolf, starting from S1ep4, and honestly? No plan, I'm winging this. Whatever happens happens.
Like, did I plan to end up with Peter being the pack Alpha? No, but we're here now so I'm gonna roll with it. I wasn't planning on Derek and Allison being besties either, but I'm not complaining.
I'm writing these 1 at a time cause it's more manageable that way, but that also means I do not have any sort of long term plotlines. (Currently, since nothing's gotten too serious yet in the show)
The worst part about writing these 1 by 1 is that there's so many ships I wanna add but can't bcuz it's not time yet T_T.
