OMG ANOTHER ONE!!!

SCILES MY BELOVED!!!

This episode is SPOILING ME!! (I honest to god think this might be one of my favorite episodes of all time and I don't know how that happened but it did. But there's just SO MUCH TO LOVE ABOUT IT! XD <3 <3 <3 <3)

ANYWAYS!!

It's a short scene. We're quoting the whole thing and commenting as we go. Deal with it. XD

"Hey I don't need to say this wasn't your fault, right?" "I don't know."

The fact that Stiles knows his best friend enough to know that he's feeling guilty as all heck for something that he REALLY SHOULDN'T (accidents happen, Scott. Sports are dangerous. Not your fault.), but that he phrases it in such a good way by making it seem so naturally obvious that it wasn't his fault. Plus, extra points to the fact that you could pretty clearly see Stiles wrestling internally with himself about whether or not he should bring it up and deciding he couldn't walk away without trying to ease some of Scott's distress.

"Scott if you had used any wolf power, that kid wouldn't be limping, he'd be crawling, back to the other half of his body." "If I hadn't been so worried about being captain, he wouldn't be hurt either."

Scott that is so not fair to yourself, okay? We all saw that little head shake you did after it happened, and we ALL knew you were thinking it, but that's NOT FAIR TO YOURSELF, okay? And then I LOVE the way Stiles tells him that.

"It's okay to want something for yourself once in a while. Team captain, Alpha werewolf...you're still only human."

I MEAN!!

It's the way that Stiles gets right to the heart of the matter in calling out Scott's incessant need to put others above himself.

It's the way Stiles says it so confidently, because he believes it, because it's true.

It's the way Scott just looks at him in slight disbelief, like the concept of wanting something for himself is completely foreign to him, especially now, even though he totally deserves better.

It's the way that Stiles just looks at Scott in pure awe and admiration and love, like he can't possibly fathom how this man doesn't see himself the way he sees him.

It's the way that Stiles gives him that last little smile and comforting shoulder pat, reminding him he's still here even as he walks away.

It's the way that Scott, despite his guilt-ridden self, gives that slight smile back and watches him go.

It's the way that these two adorable idiots see the absolute best in each other, but can never see the good in themselves.

THIS IS WHY THEY HAVE EACH OTHER AND THIS IS WHY THEY NEED EACH OTHER AND AHHHHH!!!

Twenty second scenes, ten minutes scenes, and now, a thirty second scene, successfully way over analyzed with all of my emotions losing all functionality.

You're welcome.

EVERY MOMENT COUNTS WITH THESE TWO, OKAY?!

EVERY!

SINGLE!

ONE!!

I LOVE THEM!!

In other news, despite this being a Sciles-centric post (though, frankly, what isn't these days? XD), I do feel the need to acknowledge the human meat locker that Parrish and Lydia just discovered. That's lovely. Thank you for that.

It also makes me wonder...was the dude that killed Sean's family actually the innocent one the whole time? Was Sean's family a family of murderers? Cause...that meat locker is in THEIR house...

Anyways.

Brief shout-out to the look Melissa had on her face when she saw Sciles in the hallway of the hospital, because it had the same "oh god what now" vibes as when Noah saw them run into the Sheriff's station after he encountered de-aged Derek. I love our boys' parents. XD <3

ANYWAYS!!

SCILES I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER!! <3 <3 <3

(Okay, I will admit, from this one gif especially, I can 100% see why people ship these two romantically, but platonic relationships are my jam, so these two are always gonna be platonic for me. Sorry. XD <3)

Part of the reason that Republicans are so desperately acting like they will never lose again is because they are deeply terrified that this is their last real chance to win. The big orange dipshit came in and gutted the party of everyone who wasn't a loyalist, which left it full of nasty little gremlins who have gaping voids where charisma and human decency is supposed to go.

They still hold a lot of power, but if we stop them this year the next presidential election may not be the Most Important One Of Your Life™, that's not a guarantee or anything, but if they don't win here and now their future looks grim, this dipshit is the only guy they have left and he's extremely diminished and has his brains leaking out of his ears at this point. We can beat him into the ground.

So that's what we're gonna fucking do. We're gonna break these fucking fash. They will crash upon us and we're gonna break their fucking necks. When they come for us they will lose because they're fucking losers and we have each other's backs which is something they fundamentally are incapable of comprehending.

Hot take and not to be a killjoy or the shipping police but people treating Viktor or Jinx's aroace headcanons as if they were canon is not the revolutionary take people think it is.

Headcanons are always all right but we have to acknowledge that they are somehow damaging when they apply to stereotypes. It might not be the case for everyone but most of the time people unconsciously assume that disability/mental illness=asexuality. These headcanons erase the freedom of attraction from people who are already seen as unable to have sexual/romantic experiences/desires, when it's completely untrue and harmful.

You can headcanon Viktor and Jinx as aroace, but I have seen people changing their minds once Viktor is no longer disabled (s2 with all of his other forms) and Jinx is no longer as mentally ill (alternate universe Powder). And it speaks wonders of how people see these characters.

"I never thought about Jinx being able to feel romantic/sexual attraction until s2!" To believe she's actually only capable of that when she's not "damaged" is incredibly disturbing. Especially since Jinx has always had a bit of a flirty personality too.

"I've always seen Viktor as asexual, I don't know why!" That's fine. You can headcanon him as ace. But I believe there is a reason behind it, most of the time, if for some inexplicable reason the "vibes" of the disabled character are making you think he's ace.

I say all of this being aroaspec myself, by the way. Headcanon all you want but going to people's posts commenting how "it's weird for you that they have romantic/sexual plots when they're clearly aroace" is not a win at all. It's a headcanon, after all, and it should be treated as such, and that's fine. But it also is damaging to spread stereotypes like these.

Of course the disabled character is asexual. Of course the mentally ill character is aromantic. It's not as revolutionary as you might think, tbh.

Fandom is not activism and it's all right to have any headcanons you want BUT some of them are filled with damaging stuff and perhaps we should look into ourselves more before treating these assumptions as something canon.

Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.

I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.

2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)

3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited

Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.

Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).

Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.

Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.

Ok ok ok so hear me out. I've seen a lot of stories and prompts where the Joker is scared of Danny. But honestly? Big scary ghost? Whatever, doesn't phase him. He's seen scarier. He's done scarier. Try again.

But you know what has been actually proven to scare the Joker? The IRS. So imagine this man's utter horror when one day an IRS agent just appears in his hideout and lets him know that he still owes them money. The agent gives him a deadline to pay his remaining taxes then leaves.

Joker immediately starts scrambling. He needs to come up with this money fast. No way he's making an enemy out of the IRS. But before that, Johnny? Find my accountant and give him the most painfully funny death you can think of.

For the next few days, Joker is running around, trying to collect the remaining money that he owes but he still doesn't have enough. As the IRS agent so helpfully reminds him every time he shows up.

On the day of the deadline Joker is still just short of what he owes so he pulls out his trump card. Begging.

That's how Batman finds one deranged clown killer on his hands and knees begging for a loan or at the very least some protection and he is utterly confused. It's at that moment when a young man appears out of nowhere.

"I'm sorry. It looks like you still haven't paid all of your taxes," he says in a frighteningly cheerful voice before he grabs the Joker by his collar and drags him into the shadows.

I love "i would kill for you" ship dynamics but what about "i would stop killing" ship dynamic??

I would lay down my sword for you. I would change my nature and go against everything i've known. I would resist the easy way out of solving my problems. I would give up the adrenaline of battle to stay by your side and make tea instead. I'm not sure I know who I am without a weapon in my hand because I've had to fight for so long but for you I'm willing to try and figure this out.

It must be hard. To put down your weapon that's protected you for so long. It's allowed you to stay alive it's kept you from getting hurt--physically and mentally. Because you've never had to worry about a real relationship if you think you'll be dead at the next battle. And you feel naked without it and it feels like you're ripping off an extension of yourself. Are you even whole without it? Are you worthy of being loved if you can't prove it by risking your life? And yet they've found someone who's asking them for something much harder than dying in battle on their behalf. They've found someone who wants them to live. And that's much more terrifying.
