secretly I think the best thing I’ve written for TW was that email fic about Stiles having food poisoning. GIFT ECONOMY FOREVER.

have you ever posted that? SERIOUSLY I GO BACK AND READ IT EVERY TIME I HAVE A SAD FOOD DAY, IT’S THE BEST

I HADN’T, but I guess I will now? God, this is cockblock ‘verse at its fucking finest.

(Dear everyone else, a while ago Verity felt sick and asked for h/c recs. I didn’t have any, so I gave her this.)

They’ve been through a lot together, specifically a lot of gross body stuff: just for starters, Stiles has watched Derek turn into a feral wolf-monster hybrid and heal from some pretty terrible, disgusting injuries. Technically the first time they hung out it was because Derek wanted Stiles to cut off his arm. Stiles has gotten his blood and snot all over Derek; there have been several memorable occasions on which they were both covered in ectoplasm, which does not wash out. They’ve been there for each other through thick and thin and half-naked and bloodied and scarred and all kinds of shit.

With the notable exception of exception of actual shit.

OMFC! I swear if Scott becomes an Alpha… I am going to cry.

I really don’t see him as an Alpha… Nothing against him, but he’s not alpha material. If he learns to control himself 110% then yeah but right now. No please Jeff… No alpha Scott. Just no.

I don’t know if he’d be a good alpha or not. I mean, he’d look good with those black or red eyes. But he has A LOT to work on if he wants to be alpha material. He doesn’t know how to make the hard choices that alphas have to make.

Honestly, yeah he saved Jackson instead of killing him. But look at all the other innocent lives that were lost or put in even more danger because Scott chose to not put a stop to the Kanima.

All those deputies at the sheriff station are dead now

All the other people that were on Matt’s kill list are dead now

Melissa found out that her son is a werewolf, so now she’s in even more danger than she was.

Allison lost her mother, which led Allison to seek retribution and go after Derek’s pack, which led to Erica and Boyd getting captured and tortured, WHICH THEN led to Erica and Boyd escaping and getting corned by the alpha pack. So it has yet to be determined if the alpha pack ends up killing Erica or not.

All of that wouldn’t have happened if Scott would have just done what really needed to be done.

And he did stop Gerard. But he did it by doing something I personally don’t find right. He used Derek. Which, I understand how it fit into his plan. And Derek has used Scott before… But it doesn’t make what Scott did right, even if he did stop Gerard.

Anyways, he used Derek. Scott made Derek think that he was fighting alongside him, when instead Scott was playing double agent and working out another plan. That other plan only worked by using Derek. It worked by Scott lowering Derek’s own personal worth and importance down to nothing more than a machine that is only useful in making werewolves. He didn’t even bother to treat Derek like a human being first. He didn’t even ask Derek if they could work together. Scott can’t just use somebody else’s body to get what he wants.

Imagine how Derek must have felt. Especially since he’s been used before. Kate used him, used his body, just to betray him later. Derek’s been lied to before. And then here we have Scott, who Derek was beginning to trust, just break him down even lower and just prove to Derek that people can’t be trusted. That’s horrible.

If Scott wants to be an alpha, then he has to work on how he plays hero and how he gets the title of being a “hero”. I’m just saying. Hopefully people see where i’m coming from without getting angry.

you’re forgetting the fact that this wouldn’t have happened if derek hadn’t bitten jackson in the first place

you’re ALSO forgetting the little tidbit where derek used scott to get to peter. what was it derek said? oh yeah, that he’d help scott kill peter so that scott could go back to being a normal kid. and look how well that turned out.

(in case you forgot what happened there: derek double crossed scott and killed peter to become alpha)

as for “making hard choices” there’s a quote from dumbledore that says something picking what’s right and what’s easy

i dunno, man, scott makes the RIGHT choices over the easy ones. like not killing jackson even though people were getting killed because jackson above all else was a PERSON. a boy that went to his school, that had a girlfriend, was on the lacrosse team, had a possible future that scott didn’t want to snuff out.

as for the melissa thing i really have no idea why that’s on your list because this is. this is a show. i mean did you want her to go her whole life not knowing what her kid is? scott knows it’s hard for her, i’m sure. i mean having your mom not speak to you because she’s scared of what you are? that probably sucks, right?

and look. i don’t care that you like derek. i understand why people like him. but before you rattle off about why scott wouldn’t be a good alpha, look at the whole picture instead of having tunnel vision.

Bless you.

Derek is not a good alpha. Bless his heart, and I love him to bits, but he’s just not good at it. Maybe he will be some day, but right now he’s not.

Which is exactly what I’m worried about with Scott. I think he could be a good alpha some day, but I honestly don’t think he’s ready yet. And I don’t want to see him be beaten down like Derek has been because he’s taken on more responsibility than he’s ready for.

Exactly. ^

Derek’s not a good alpha (yet, maybe never). But I don’t think Scott will be a good one yet either. A hero doesn’t always make a good leader. Doesn’t mean he can’t learn, but he’d have to change parts of his mindset.

And though Jackson had a future that Scott wanted to save, everyone else that died (the people in the station, Matt’s targets) had families and futures too. An based on what we know of Jackson’s personality, might have done amazing things that Jackson would never have considered.

Just my two cents. :)

Fandom News of the Day: Amazon Unveils a Fanfic Publishing Platform

Beginning in June, fanfiction authors will be able to self-publish their works from selected partner franchises via Kindle Worlds. Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars are already on board with the project and more are expected to be announced the official launch. However, authors aren’t exactly jumping at the chance to turn their works into cash: by using the platform, authors give all rights to the work to Amazon, who can then license your elements to other authors with no compensation to the original poster. The platform also will not publish stories containing pornography, excessive use of brand names or crossovers, so your Superwholock mpreg (male pregnancy) stories will just have to stay on Tumblr.

ALL ABOARD THE NOPE TRAIN TO FUCKTHATVILLE.

Stunning Landscape - Cappadocia, Turkey

The mysterious rock formations and underground cities of Cappadocia make this region of Turkey one the most beautiful in the world. The rich history of this site can be told through the villages, subterranean churches and fortresses that have been carved straight into the soft, porous, eerily eroded rock.

Popular activities in the region include visits to the underground cities, viewing the ancient Christian cave art, seeing the “fairy chimney” rock formations, and taking sunrise hot air balloon rides for a view of the breathtaking landscape from above.

When I am certain everyone else in the world is following odditiesoflife I will not reblog everything she puts up quite so industriously….

I just had the sweetest, tiniest women come into the store. They were both easily in their eighties, hair done up in curls, matching outfits, an entire barrel of perfume each. I thought, okay, they think the old toy store is still in this building…

AND THEN THEY SCHOOLED ME. I did not know Hawkgirl ever had her own miniseries. Not only did they inform me of that, but also who wrote and drew it, when it came out, and how many issues there were. They then proceeded to buy up all of our Hawkgirl, some silver age Flash, a bunch of our Batman merch, and then some.

One in particular told me that when she broke her shoulder, she had her physo-therapist put a picture of Hawkgirl up on the high wall so she could reach for it every day, to help her healing. Because, she told me, if Hawkgirl can swing a mace, she can too.

Michele Caragher

Embroidered details in Game of Thrones

‘Michele Carragher is a London-based Hand Embroiderer and Illustrator who has been working in costume on film and television productions for over 15 years. She studied Fashion Design at The London College of Fashion, where the course incorporated design, pattern cutting, garment construction, embroidery, millinery and illustration. At the same time she attended a three year evening course in Saddlery at Cordwainers College learning skills in leatherwork.

After leaving college Michele worked in Textile Conservation, repairing and restoring historical textiles for private collectors and museums, specialising in hand embroidery. She then moved into a career in costume for film and television, initially working as a Costume Assistant/Maker on productions such as the BBC’s Our Mutual Friend, ITV’s David Copperfield and Mansfield Park. She soon gravitated towards the decoration and embellishment of costumes, using skills in hand embroidery and surface decoration, taking inspiration from the many historical textiles she had encountered working as a Textile Conservator.

The first production that saw her undertake the role of a Principal Costume Embroiderer was for HBO’s 2005 Emmy Costume award-winning production of Elizabeth 1. Her most recent work has been on HBO’s 2012 Costume award-winning television series Game of Thrones, working on all three seasons.

As a Costume Embroiderer Michele specialises in hand embroidery and surface embellishment, using traditional hand embroidery techniques, smocking, beading and surface decoration. She works directly onto the completed garment or starts with motifs and textures on silk crepeline/organza, which are applied to the costume and then worked into once on the actual garment. She also works on existing machine embroidery designs that are not too dense, adding some hand stitching and beading to give a more authentic, hand-finished look.

Michele finds hand embroidery has more flexibility and diversity than that of embroidery created by machine, as there is a greater variety of thread choice and colours to use. It is also possible to work more easily on garments that are already constructed. However, machine embroidery in combination with hand work can be very useful when completing many repeats by creating light outlines or a less dense machine stitch, work can then be completed by hand and again can be carried out on a finished garment.

Michele is a highly creative Costume Embroiderer, producing original designs as well as working closely to a costume designer’s brief to create their desired look.’
