shiningartifact replied to your post:Scott and Lies

My thought was that young Derek didn’t have the ability to do that yet? We did see him having trouble with the shift and stuff, so I figured that it was another example of him not being as good at werewolfing as we thought he’d be.

They made a point to have Scott's heartbeat in the soundtrack, though. So we could hear that it didn't skip or speed up. We aren't just relying on Derek's interpretation.

THESE NAILS ARE AMAAAAAAAZING, HOLY SHIT.

RIGHT?! I don't think I would be able to afford what it would cost to have someone do my nails like that.

Hey there! For the askbox meme, how about: 6. Favorite fic (or one of them)? and 10. Favorite trope/element/scenario in fic? and 32. Favorite AU tropes?

YAY QUESTIONS!!!

6. Favorite fic (or one of them)?

my favorite fics are almost always the ones i read when i first got into a fandom?? because they’re usually the ones i get enough distance on to want to reread at some point, since i am - gasp! horror! - not really much of a re-reader! (i think i’ve reread like… three or four books in my entire life) so here are some fics i have loved!!! (you can find more here also but keep in mind that it is poorly curated currently)

teen wolf

the alexandrian solution - derek/stiles lock all the doors behind you - derek/stiles darling it is no joke - derek/ stiles au a change in appetite - derek/stiles

avengers

the days were bright red - thor/loki falling like a flip of a coin - thor/loki au-ish semaphore - steve/tony arms and the man - steve/tony when i think (oh it terrifies me) - steve/tony off the record - tony/loki (a pairing i don’t even care about! and the only wip i have EVER READ)

bandom

euphemisms for insanity - spencer/brendon, a testament to the story because i don’t care for the pairing or spencer, period the skin of the canvas - gerard/frank

supernatural

a priori - sam/dean life is a banquet (and some poor suckers are starving to death) - sam/dean green and gamboge - sam/dean there’s gotta be a punch line in here somewhere - sam/dean a rose (in another man’s garden) - sam/dean

stargate: atlantis

a beautiful lifetime event - john/rodney freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose - this is the best piece of fandom writing i have ever read. it’s better than a large percentage of published material. just thinking about it destroys me.

star trek (2009)

subverted ambitions - kirk/spock au with my feet toward the stars - kirk/spock magpie - kirk/spock au

the cabin in the woods

all three of these are authors expanding the universe of the movie and they’re all AMAZE

monsters, inc. performance review, december 1998 monster and man

true grit (2011)

with no lodestar in sight - mattie/laboeuf - one of my favorite stories i’ve ever read. an 82k extension of the true grit story. so good, so good, so good.

10. Favorite trope/element/scenario in fic?

I LOVE SUFFERING. not, like, characters suffering, but ME, i want to SUFFER. i want to roll around on the floor SCREAMING because the unresolved sexual tension is so excruciatingly palpable that everyone except the two people it is between know it. i want long and non-angsty romancing where both parties are idiots!!!!! i like bed sharing!!!!!! i love UNEXPECTED BODY THINGS like where knotting occurs but the person with the knot has never experienced it before!!!!! i LIVE FOR UNCONTROLLABLE AROUSAL AND BONERS!!!!!!!!! especially when it’s driven by a person that the uncontrollable boner haver kind of hates!!!!!!!!! i love HORRIBLE SEX SHAME - DEREK HALE HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS. i love bruises and marking and SCENT MARKING. i love incest and the fraught universes that produce it!!!!!!!!!!

okay, that’s just a lot of screaming, but mostly i REALLY LOVE stories where it takes the entire story to get to the boning. i like it long and drawn out and dialogue-y and then i like to watch them struggle through their first times in DETAIL, especially if they kind of round the bases in a very ordered way??! i don’t read stories with established relationships and i get bored if the story goes on for too long after the initial boning event. sorry, i’m a weird sex and romance monster.

32. Favorite AU tropes?

i can say with confidence that before teen wolf, i was NOT BIG ON THE AU, tbh. but since teen wolf, i am very into them. i actually tell my girlfriend anywhere from a story to three stories a week verbally (this is why i don’t write more fic! blame her!) and almost ALL of them are au. i will read pretty much any au, especially if it seems like it has the potential for LOTS OF AWKWARD FLIRTING. i am not as into the coffee shop au as most of fandom is, but i do love a super awkward one. i like aus with non-conventional jobs the most, i guess?!?! i’ve told my gf TWO ENTIRE massive aus about the circus, in two different fandoms, so i guess that’s my fave?!

my actual favorite thing in aus - and i actually PREFER it and am much kinder/more likely to read them - is when the thing that makes the fandom the fandom (ie: werewolves in teen wolf) is STILL THERE. i especially love when you don’t really know that up front and then you find out through the course of the story. it’s THE BEST, like getting to experience an all new version of the thing you like so much. magical.

Oooh, for the tropes meme - Derek/Stiles and either Bodyswap or Telepathy! :)

both would be such a mindfuck.

what I want from a derek/stiles bodyswap is Derek staring at Stiles’s hands. Just staring at them, at his anchor, his reality check, and kind of hyperventilating. I want Derek to be the one falling apart, for his lungs to feel like they aren’t getting enough air, because everything’s different, muted, he’s so much weaker. I want Stiles to just wrap himself around him, a little too tight because he’s not fully aware of his own strength yet. “Close your eyes— ssh. It’s okay. Close your eyes,” he whispers, rubs Derek’s back, keeps him weighed down on the mattress. “I’m here. We’re in my bedroom. You’re still Derek. It’s okay. Count to five with me,” and he taps each of his fingers onto Derek’s back, does it over and over until Derek’s calmer.

Derek kisses him in the morning. They’d fallen asleep still tangled up together. Derek kisses him awake, and Stiles mutters about narcissism, tells him how much nicer it is to see someone good wearing his face for a change and they kiss lazily in the morning sunlight, and Stiles tells him how much better it’ll be when they’ve got their own bodies back but in the meantime— and he brushes his fingers over Derek’s nipples and Derek’s brain shorts out, because it had been frightening before, but now? It could be something amazing.

Hi! That photo you just posted that looks like Hoechlin kissing Hoechlin is definitely a manip. The one on the left (and the hand on his neck) is from that photo of him kissing B Snow (it's her hand). :)

Ah! Thank you for clearing that up! Apparently that original photo was stolen and Hoechlin asked for it not to be used (according to another ask I got), so I’ll be deleting my reblog.

Good looking out, fandom :)

MEME

Rule 1: Post the Rules.

Rule 2: Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post then make 11 new ones.

Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to your post.

Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1. Do you put up a Christmas tree?  If you do, when is the appropriate time to take it down again? YES. And whenever my wife loses her shit and basically takes it down in the middle of the night because she can't handle it anymore. Generally, that happens on a weekend. And not in the middle of the night. BUT SHE WOULD IF SHE COULD.

2. What’s your favorite kind of dinosaur? The really, really giant one who only eats trees? Who is that? He's my FAVORITE. 

3.  If you could bang any deceased president, who would you choose.  (IN THIS QUESTION I DO NOT MEAN HE HAS BEEN TAXIDERMIED AND THEN YOU BANG HIM.  HE’S COME BACK TO LIFE BUT NOT IN A WEIRD JESUS WAY.  LOOK I JUST DON’T WANT YOU TO HAVE THE EASY OUT OF BANGING OBAMA.  YOU’RE NOT SPECIAL, WE ALL WOULD.) WELL...FUCK YOU. I would still do Obama! Also, Eleanor Roosevelt, shhhh, that totally counts.

4. Mary Kate or Ashley? Kimmy Gibbler.

5.  It’s raining like crazy, it’s Sunday afternoon and you have nothing to do.  What do you put on TV? An Austen adaptation. ALWAYS. GIVE ME HISTORIC ROMANCES PRODUCED BY THE BBC. Always.

6. Do you like turtlenecks or do you feel like you’re being choked by a weak person all day? Choked by a weak person. Hate them. They should disappear along with corduroy pants. NOBODY needs corduroy pants. NOBODY.

7.  Who is the strangest looking person you’d have sex with? It's a toss-up between Cumberbatch (YEP, STILL WOULD) and Tom Waits. Now that I think about it, they're sort of... similar-looking. 

8.  Who was your childhood celebrity crush? Livanov, who played Sherlock Holmes in the Russian adaptation. Hmm, there appears to be a theme to my entire life...

9.  Do you think that there is a person alive between the ages of 18-35 who does not know all the words to Smash Mouth’s Rock Star? Probably my sister. Oh wait, she's 36. My moth- OH WAIT. So, no. No, I don't think there is.

10. Tell me about your morning hygiene routine. Roll out of bed, stumble into the bathroom. Negotiate with wife on who's taking the guest bathroom. Brush teeth & pee (at the same time, don't judge me), then shower. First: the shower gel/wash; then hair & condition, or skip that if I washed my hair the day before. Last is face. Dry (I HATE DRYING AFTER THE SHOWER, HATE IT), put on underwear, blow my hair out (IT'S LONG ENOUGH NOW, WTF), put on clothes, straighten hair (don't judge my methods), put on make-up, stumble downstairs. WAS THAT TOO MUCH DETAIL FOR YOU, WAS IT, WAS IT?

11.  Should I have hot chocolate or ice cream right now?  I have the flu and the question is PLAGUING ME. BOTH. Obviously. 

HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS (and I am REALLY REALLY bad at questions; I'm working it out; this is why I have a therapist):

1. If you could get any ONE human being ALIVE to do your bidding for a full day - like, we're talking, fanning you on a beach & bringing you drinks while you relaxed - who would it be? THINK HARD.

2. Peanut butter or Nutella?

3. Relatedly: how would you prefer to consume your previous choice? (Is there a vehicle, or by the spoonful?)

4. Pinpoint the exact time your childhood died. In detail, if possible.

5. How would you describe your ~personal style? 

6. Can we party all night long/party all night long? (HAHA, trick question. Not possible, we are old.) (I am REALLY BAD at this.)

7. How would you spend your millions, if you had millions? (We've all thought of it & played Powerball. Time to fess up.)

8. Fuck/Marry/Kill: Chris Evans, RDJ, Tom Hiddleston. (if you kill off Hiddles, we are no longer friends. Good luck. :))

9. Fuck/Marry/Kill, the Hobbit edition: Merry, Pippin, Samwise

10. What was the last book you read that really grabbed you, and would you recommend it, because I NEED MORE BOOKS TO READ, thank you.

11. Favorite Austen adaptation: name & discuss.

PHEW.
