“It’s like a swarm of bees in my stomach whenever he smiles. My hands shake because they hang at my sides when all they want to do is hold his hands or touch his face. And I’m pretty sure my childhood stutter has come back because whenever he looks me right in the eye I sound like a scratched CD. And the worst part of it all is that I can’t tell him because he is so in love with Lydia. You have to promise not to tell him, Scott. Please…” - - Paige in Season 2 talking about Stiles

“I mean, what do you want me to say, Scott? Do you want me to say that when she was gone all summer in Ireland that I couldn’t stop thinking about her? That her laugh rings through my head when I wake up and if I don’t hear it I’m in a bad mood the rest of the day? That when Matt took a shot at her at the station a little part of me died thinking she got hurt and I couldn’t protect her? Do you want me to say that she’s funny, smart, gorgeous and also makes me want to go insane at how much I care about her?! Is that what you want me to say?!” - - Stiles in Season 3A talking about Paige

so here is PaigexStiles :) I haven’t thought of a ship name yet so I am all up for people coming to my asks and giving me options :)

In this really cute idea, in season 2 Paige figures out she has grown feelings for Stiles but tries to push them away because she knows how much he cares about Lydia. But she ends up talking to Scott when he caught her heart speeding up a couple of times when he, Stiles and Paige were together. He kept it a secret…

Up until season 3A when the Darach was killing virgins and Stiles says his famous, “Someone needs to have sex with me right now!” line. So Danny says his thing and before he leaves he says to Stiles to “ask his girlfriend to do it.” Stiles is confused and asks what girlfriend to where Danny says Paige’s name. Stiles gets all stuttery and Scott figures out that Stiles actually does have a crush on Paige and Stiles gets frustrated and yells. 

This is where Stiles notices that Scott is avoiding his eye and since Scott can be a bad lier sometimes, he ends up pulling out of the werewolf that Paige liked him but he doesn’t know if she still does.

Stiles and Paige end up together at the end of season 3A when Paige is trying to hold up the root cellar at the nemeton and when her powers are about to give out Stiles swoops in with his trusty bat. Everyone is so relieved and the storm stops that after Stiles hugs his dad, Paige just grabs the back of his neck and kisses him. When they break the kiss, Stiles starts to stutter and then just says, “Um, wow. OKay, so we are definitely doing more of that later. Let me just call Scott to get us.”

Greetings, I cannot seem to find that many shadow work blogs, which saddens me quite a bit - yours is by far my favorite, but I would still like to follow more. I have quite a bit of light work blogs already followed but shadow work is barely a fraction of it...

Ah, I understand your disappointment. The over-saturation of light work resources as opposed to the underwhelming amount of shadow work resources in the spiritual community of Tumblr was a primary motivating factor in making this blog shadow work centered… Though if I’m being honest, I’m not confident this can still be considered a shadow work blog even! I haven’t posted any new shadow work content in quite some time. I do appreciate your admiration, however!

Unfortunately, I’m having trouble thinking of any shadow work blogs at the moment. I follow a handful that post about shadow work occasionally, but I wouldn’t say they are “shadow work blogs” per se. So if anyone on the dash has any recommendations, please feel free to enlighten us (or otherwise jog my memory)!

So I think I found a new Face Claim for my Teen Wolf OC :)

So I’ve been working on my Teen Wolf OC that I’ve had for a few years now. She was first Gabbie Reynolds and I picked Ashley Benson for her image

She was such a mary sue and I made her too much like other ocs that I’ve seen. And I didn’t like that she really had no originality to her. So I spruced her up a bit after rewatching the series the second time and picked Troian Bellisario.

I changed her story (mostly) from a girl that grew up with Stiles and Scott after moving to Beacon Hills after her parents died in a car accident (to live with her aunt and uncle) to Beacon Hills High outcast living with her dad and aunt. Her dad worked at the Sheriff’s Station as the Chief Deputy Sheriff (who works directly under the Sheriff) and was also born into a long line of druids. Gabbie’s mother left when she was 4 and at first, I wanted her to be Mrs. Blake the Darach from season 3A but then I wanted to try something different. So after starting the series again so I can finally start and finish season 6, I decided to remake her one more time. 

I introduce you to Paige Aisling Quillan, a sophomore at Beacon Hills High School, and school weirdo for her hobby of studying mythology and the supernatural. Her dad still works at the Sheriff’s Station as a Major, and her aunt owns a small cafe in town called “Beacon Hills Coffe and Tea” (where the cup was from that gave Allison the idea to look for logos at the beginning of season 3). Their family still has a long line of druid magic linked to it, but Paige’s mother (who still left when Paige was 4) was from Massachusetts. Wanna know why??

Because one of her ancestors was killed in the Salem Witch Trials.

It was never proven if she was a witch or not, but after Paige’s dad gets killed by the Kanima in season 2 (that one shot of police who get killed when Matt takes over the station) it awakens something in Paige and gives her a power (that I have yet to think of yet.)

She does end up with Stiles but it is a very slow burn, like halfway through the series slow burn. She even tries to date Matt at the beginning of season 2 to get over the bubbling crush she starts to have on Stiles (her best friend). It doesn’t help the relationship that a) Matt was completely obsessed with Allison. and b) he pretty much killed her dad.

After season 2, Paige and her aunt go to Ireland for the summer so that Paige can finally train with other druids and learn more about her people. They also spend a couple weeks in Salem to learn more about Paige’s mom and her maybe witch ancestor. I’ve only got up to where I am now thought out for the series (so the beginning of season 3). But I hope to develop this character a lot more because I absolutely adore this show and Jeff Davis.

Other fun stuff:

I picked Holly Marie Combs to play Paige’s Aunt Claire

She grew up in Beacon Hills with her brother until he moved away (and ended up meeting his ex-wife). She also grew up with Chris Argent, and the two dated for a while but Chris broke it off after finding out about his family of hunters and that Claire wasn’t technically human. He loved her so much he didn’t want to put her in danger. They do end up together instead of Chris with Melissa.

Next is Adam Quillan, Paige’s dad who was first Ryan Reynold ( and of course I wanted Ryan Reynolds to play him) but now I’m thinking maybe David Boreanaz but I’m still on the fence so if you have any ideas for face claim please let me know. 

Adam works at the station and helps Sheriff Stilinski (who is basically his best friend) in many cases. He also has a huge ass crush on Melissa McCall. When he hears that Melissa went on a date with some guy (Peter) in season 1 he is so mad at himself for never manning up and asking her out. But then directly after Paige tells him it didn’t go well, Adam walks into the hospital (where he volunteers to go talk to people of interest when needed so he can see and talk to Melissa) and asks her out.

They are dating up until he gets killed by the Kanima, letting his last words to his daughter be that he loves her, and to tell his sister, Claire, he loves her too. He then shouts at Stiles to watch out for Paige, and for Scott to make sure his mom makes it out alive. He then says to himself (but Scott, Stiles, Paige, and Matt all hear), “I love her you know? I-I love her and I never got to tell her.”

I also have an idea for Paige to have an older half-brother that shows up maybe at the beginning or middle of season three. 

His name is Julian Kent, and his mom (who is also Paige’s mom) had him 2 years before she met Adam, making him 7 years older than Paige (basically around Derek’s age). He was put up for adoption, and then when he found out he was adopted at 18, he spent so long looking for his mom and ended up finding out he had a sister 5 years later. He is a witch (or warlock because male witch), and the time he spent looking for his mom, he trained himself in the art of magic.

Speaking of Derek, when Julian shows up, Paige automatically doesn’t trust him. As season 3A continues, and Julian tries to help with Deucalian and the Darach, eventually Paige warms up to him. And slowly, Julian and Derek become friends; even best friends. He even starts to live in the loft with Derek and Peter. Julian is also the partial love interest for Malia (so instead of MaliaxStiles its MaliaxJulian). And then Julian ends up falling in love with Lydia. There is a bit age difference, but I figured that Lydia had that thing for Parish so this would be fine. (also I know I keep picking people from Charmed but that is because I love them and the show).

so yeah, that’s what I have so far for this storyline. I think I’m going to keep the title “In Knots” for the first book and keep it going with that. Let me know what you think, I would love some feedback on this :)
