“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

in s2 i am humbly asking just for langdon & mel to keep up the insane energy they gave us in s1…nothing else needs to be given as long as the two of them keep on exuding this soulmate-ism shit right here

Those two sketches are for me and the other 5 Steb fans

Book Fiyero: *immediately recognizes Elphaba and stations himself at the backdoor to prevent her from evading him, stalks her halfway across town to her aerie (even though at that point in time she was only a college friend he hadn’t seen in five years), insists on seeing her again, instinctively goes to comfort her when she first cries, gets sucked into increasingly deep and fraught conversations with her about collateral damage and freedom fighter terrorism, calls her the “most individual, the most separate, the most real” DURING AN ARGUMENT, says he adores Elphaba’s looks IN THAT SAME ARGUMENT, doesn’t understand Elphaba’s “being born with a talent or an inclination for goodness is the aberration” comment because (implied) he sincerely believes Elphaba isn’t evil, changes his mind about the plight of the Animals all by himself but doesn’t mention it to Elphaba because he is afraid she would distance himself from him, buys scarves for both his wife and Elphaba even though only Elphaba likes scarves, is so concerned for Elphaba and her dangerous Lurlinemas Eve mission that he stalks her instead of staying at his club or just leaving town altogether, and is so worried about her that he returns to the aerie just to see her*

Also Book Fiyero: Am I in love with Elphaba?

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.

Zoro says he doesn't do pin up photoshoots because it's more embarrassing than just taking nudes, but the instant he overhears Sanji say he thinks pin ups are hotter to him than actual nudes Zoro is already booking an appointment with a top notch photographer and shopping or sexy lingerie/costumes to wear

You know, I'm really not a fan of gaming marketing's blatant manipulations to make sure people are hyped and tossing those pre-order/pre-purchase money their way.

Why I don't pre-order games anymore.

Today I was arguing with a transphobe and got to weaponize my hysterectomy as a cis woman, as a bodily autonomy issue for the first time, and let me tell you that felt fantastic.

Because it's true! This surgery has made my life massively better, and I wanted to have this surgery since I was a teenager, but due to gatekeeping I was not able to have it at 18 or 20 or 25 or 30 etc and had unnecessarily been in a MASSIVE amount of pain with truly prodigious quantities of blood loss, for TWENTY YEARS. Because of a huge amount of "But what if you change your mind and regret it? :-/" from the medical community, among others.

Relatedly, a fun thing about Reddit, is that you can look at someone's post history. So if someone says something where you're like "Hm, I can't tell if you're well-intentioned but clueless, or if you're an asshole", I can just search for particular keywords like "voting" or "Trump" and find out what ELSE they've said in different communities.

She's not going to change her mind, but it matters more that other people in the doll subreddit see that it's not okay to say shit like that.

A thing I've noticed about a lot of largely female-dominated hobby spaces is that there's this expectation that Being Nice is more important than refusing to tolerate unacceptable behavior. And it leads to the whole Nazi Bar Problem, and it sucks.
