#Actions speak louder than words

“Sorry,” Stiles said, unsure of why he was apologizing. “I’ve never heard that song before. Did you write it?”  Derek looked uncomfortable, maybe a touch embarrassed, which was answer enough. “It’s good. I like it. It’s calming.”  The small smile he got in response melted his heart a little bit. Fucking hell, he was so gone for this asshole. Stiles didn’t know what he was going to do. He wished he’d never realized how much he loved him. Wished he’d just continued to think they were best friends and nothing more. It was slowly going to kill him being so close, and yet so fucking far. Clearing his throat, he brought the book back up to continue reading, muttering that Derek should keep playing. He did, his fingers plucking gently at the strings, filling the loft with soft music. It really was calming, and soothing. Stiles really liked it. He liked it even more when he realized Derek could honestly express himself with the guitar. It still wasn’t a voice, but it was something, at least.

This fic is what spurred me to start doing sterek fanart back in the beginning of december - magic!stiles, cursed!derek, stiles/jackson terrifying everyone else as friends - an incredible 430K story with a completely endearing slow-burn and slowly unfolding exploration of the characters and their relationship, made complete with the perfect bow of cursed-mute-Derek because 'Derek's eyebrows have a language of their own but only Stiles is fluent' is my favorite and this author does it SO well. And gives Derek a guitar. Derek plays a guitar!!

Ella, consider this my loveletter to your works - they all, this one in particular, buoyed me through a tough time in my life and brought me back to a love of drawing that I haven't had in years and a fandom that has been so generous in their support of my silly art. Thank you for sharing your works!

And a huge thank you to everyone's support so far - the sweet comments in replies, the unhinged all-caps tags, yes-and'ing my silly ideas and headcanons, i'm just over here kicking my feet and giggling and definitely not getting teary-eyed over it no siree no lacrimal action happening here

Sometimes, human beings need to hear the words (followed by action... naturally. ;)

tumblrs being transphobic, with the ceo himself starting an actual harassment campaign against a transfem & also banning transfems who post abt it.

Oh shit, I had not heard about that.

I would like to say I don’t understand why this shit keeps happening, but I actually do understand it way too well. It just makes me so sad and angry. Especially on a site where people find and make their communities.

So much of this is about ego, and the people with power wielding that power to protect themselves and failing to protect others with it. A mere hint of negative sentiment towards them is harassment that is dealt with immediately and harshly, but a dozen complaints about discrimination or threats or bullying take ages to process and frequently come to unsatisfactory moderation decisions.

Whatever the sentiments of the people running this hellsite, you are always welcome in my corner of the internet, wherever you find it. You are all wonderful, and we all deserve to feel that part of this space belongs to us and those to whom we can connect.

Transphobia has no place on tumblr, period. Or anywhere else in society for that matter. It is that which should be being rooted out.

Where are your loyalties?

Aziraphale easily admits everything to Crowley about the flaming sword:

Note: Yea, Crowley’s in love now 😁

Aziraphale says this to god when asked about the sword:

And when he has the sword back, he’s using it to thwart the will of god (as far as he knows at the time)

So, just who is Aziraphale loyal to?

I love how jordan just waltzes in to save marie and marie is genuinely confused by their kindness? obviously she didn’t need saving but like this is the first time jordan shows up for her. and then jordan nonchalantly giving marie a towel is so 🥹🥹🥹 sweet. not to mention that jordan isn’t at all freaked out about what marie just did. jordan thought it was cool. besides marie could probably count the number of people who think her powers are cool on one hand.

“love, love is verb. love is a doing word”

There are characters in this franchise who did not let themselves be bit by a three headed dog to protect a stone or ran through the castle in their nightshirt upon hearing someone scream.

Or agreed to spy on the most dangerous person on earth withoutht gaining anything.

With the prospect of being tortured and killed if they were ever found out.

Who risked being exposed by trying to save Lupins life at the battle of the seven Potters- eventhough they hated that man.

Who ignored forbidden activities their students did so they would not be punished by the deatheaters(,the carrows).

Or who lept out of a window so they wouldn‘t have to hurt his colleagues.

And still Severus remains the most hated.

To quote another post i can‘t find anymore:

„These are not the actions of someone who does not care.“

His actions show, that he cared deeply for the safety of his students and colleagues.

And still he is treated worse that Bellatrix or Barty or Regulus or Draco or Lucius.

When he was the most caring and devoted and human all of all of them.

Make it make sense.

Actions speak louder than words.

There were two other drivers too who were his teammates but the admin chose only to post their picture together.

In conclusion:

f1 page admin is also a Carlando fan.

Do you know what love is?

[beccawise7]

How beautiful to hear you are desired by the one who says they adore you.

What a travesty when not seen in their actions & one is left wondering where they stand.

Azriel might have said “Be careful how you speak to my High Lady” but Lucien was willing to die rather than give away the name of the human girl who’d killed his friend.

| AO3 | FFN | A Dramione one-shot full of thoughtful gestures, meaningful silences, and slow-burn fluff. What starts with a single flower changes everything. Hermione Granger never expected thoughtfulness from Draco Malfoy, but with each small, kind gesture, he offers her something Ron never has: the sense that she’s truly seen. Petal by petal, Hermione uncovers not only a soft side of Draco but also a new path for herself.
