Lan stands between @grislyintentions and the lion cub, drawing the Skybow. THEY aim at Yaoshi, an arrow burning with vibrant magenta. The hunter protecting the little they have left in this existence.

I still think that post-season 3, Stiles should’ve gotten all sorts of little leftovers from the Nogitsune and been deeply unsettling, mostly for angsty reasons and also I cannot believe that everyone moved on perfectly fine after seeing their friend’s body crumble to dust in front of them and having their possessed friend as an enemy for a while before, but also because there is potential comedy of a visiting wolf/other supernatural person meeting everyone and then meeting Stiles, deeply unsettling and not quite breathing and still paler than he was pre-Nogitsune, playing a game of Go with Kira in a new interest that makes everyone else nauseous to think of the origins of, and going “what the hell is that?” The Beacon Hills gang, who’ve mostly adjusted to this by now, say that’s Stiles, he’s their friend. So there’s a banshee, a bunch of werewolves who apparently do not feel their skin crawl around their friend, maybe some Chimeras depending on if season 5 has happened, and the creepiest person in town, who is normally not doing anything particularly jarring but still makes people uncomfortable for no reason anyone can see. I think it would be a little funny after a while to watch new people meet Stiles and everyone else has either adjusted to this being their reality, did not know Stiles before everything, or is pretending to deal à la fake it til you make it, so they’re all “bro that’s just Stiles, calm down.” But I think there should also be angst throughout still, where they can remember a time when Stiles didn’t elicit this reaction or they think of when they had this reaction to him (Liam thought Stiles was the weird friend of his lacrosse captain who he vaguely recalls went missing once pre-bite, then had to resist the urge to shudder whenever he saw Stiles after his bite until he adjusted)

Oh, they dropped the ball hard with this one. They should've committed to being part "horror" TV show. Stiles could've had the ultimate uncanny valley effect - and it would've been even better if Stiles were aware of it.

But, you know, he tries to act like his normal self - hyper, loud, talks a lot. But then there are these moments where he forgets or doesn't have the energy, so he just doesn't move and he's just staring at them. Everyone is always super unsettled when that happens. His friends know that, technically, Stiles isn't a danger to him, but they can't help but be creeped out by that. People who don't know Stiles simply go "nope" and decide to turn the other way. Other packs are on high alert when the news spread, a human surviving a nogitsune? That doesn't sound right.

So they kind of want to snoop around. They see Stiles, and he looks like a gust of wind might break him apart, but there is something about him that's just not quite right. Nobody can put a finger on it, and they decide to leave them alone. It's better that way.

And Stiles is fully aware of all of that. Of fucking course, he uses it to his advantage. His intuition has always been spot on when it came to people. I mean, he even noticed that something was wrong with Matt. But like, thanks to the nogitsune it's not just his instincts anymore. Chaos, strife, pain. He gets a whiff of anything shady, and he's just... going full Derek, creeping around in the shadows, not even trying to hide that he's stalking them.

Everyone leaves. Nobody wants to fuck around and find out. Beacon Hills has never been this peaceful.

they nudge him with moist snout. nudge, nudge, nudge. xeno's torso jerks and his limbs jerk, but he doesn't move fully. doesn't open his eyes.

bark tries one more thing before panic settles in. a big fat saliva-filled lick over xeno's nose and eyes followed by a lick on his cheek. and it works! he opens his eyes!

their tails waggling uncontrollably, and they yell, into his mind: YOU ARE FINALLY AWAKE! DUUUUUDE, I WAS SCARED YOU WERE A GONER! and bark.

though, @inrovina just asks: "are you real?" to which they cock their head, ears flapping from the movement. momentarily they ponder what real means.

excitement overflows their dog body, buzzing through their veins. OF COURSE I'M REAL AND EVERYBODY'S REAL AND EVERYTHING'S REAL, DUDE-MAN. YOU ARE REAL!

❝ WOULD YOU DESCRIBE ME AS SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN PERPETUAL ANXIETY? ❞ / @rejectory. / TOM WAMBSGANS & SHIV ROY.

there are few moments such as this : where siobhan roy can be home, on a weekend, morning light still streaming in through the windows. there is no gala to rush to, no private jet to board. since the walker left with mondale, shiv's apartment has been silent. as comfortable as one's home could be. her head is buried in her phone, reading through article after article of think pieces ( is ATN a dying brand? is logan roy fit to lead? how will waystar royco reduce their environmental impact? ) it's not the sound of her husband's voice, but the processing of his words that gets her to look up.

❝ tom. ❞ her voice suffers from lack of use this morning, a little rough around the edges, and warmer than his name normally sounds on her tongue. before continuing, shiv corrects her posture, no longer able to curl into the couch. she clicks at the button on her phone and the rectangle goes black. his presence is finally acknowledged with a look his way, though, only when her spine is straight and her voice is clear. ❝ there are inner-city chihuahuas who are less perpetually anxious than you. ❞

@smugliar asked: wound :   my  muse  patches  and  bandages  a  wound  your  muse  has  gotten.

     “Remember that guy you told me about? The who...got his finger taken off by a cigar cutter, ‘cause he was caught cheating in a game? Against, ugh, whatsit, a mafia guy? Were you...cheating in that one, too?”

     He was looking for a distraction. Perhaps too on the nose, blearily watching Ace wrap gauze around his stub of a finger. He had been disarming a bear trap, only to have gotten distracted by a footsteps approaching over broken glass. Ace at least looked a little apologetic for scaring Quentin into losing a finger.

     “You didn’t finish that story. Did you, uhm, did you like, like---urgh, shit, uhm like...” his thoughts were bleeding out with the wound, leaving him rapidly incomprehensible. So much blood in one little digit. “Did you...win?”

❛ Space is fine. It's a big empty place with the unknown lurking on every corner. ❜ Ali gently pats the cat they just taken possession of. It looked like a stray, anyway. ❛ Come to think of it, I don't fear the unknown. Yet, the space is very lonely. ❜ At least where they were.  ❛ If you can show me fun in the space, I would love to see.  ❜
