Peter Wolfe on Mary Renault, 1969

In spite of these disclaimers, however, the final judgment of The Charioteer must be warmly positive. Although the subject matter of the book makes it a chafing experience, its probing honesty awakens our moral responsibility to an urgent social problem. Had Mary Renault designed her novel as easy-going popular fiction, she would have sacrificed its grating persistence. The nature of Laurie Odell’s commitment and the inevitable loss of his human ideal may well encourage posterity to praise The Charioteer as her finest work.

Thank you to @bigzombiephilosopher-blog for recommending this book, which is unusual in being an attempt to evaluate Mary's literary career while she was still writing, at a time when her subject matter was still controversial. Some of the historical context is helpful too, particularly his theories about social cohesion and where she fit in to the turbulent times of the 30s. Even then she seemed to be a writer who was hard to categorise. You'll have to read the book to find out what his 'disclaimers' on TC were! Well worth a look, he does not mince his words and has some 'interesting' opinions on the novels too. Made me think about what makes a good book.

there's such a massive history with doctor who and it hit me lately that the sensation of seeing that the companions and doctors you watched in real-time have become the past is a sensation every fan has felt for 60 years. at some point people missed jon pertwee and could remember watching him recently, even though tom baker was on tv as the doctor now and they liked him too. and nowadays we miss rose tyler and martha jones and amy pond and clara oswald and donna noble and tennant and smith and capaldi like those people missed baker when davison took the stage. like people missed ace and wondered if the show would ever come back, and then got excited and still felt it wasn't quite the same when eccleston was announced. like. it feels so recent, like just yesterday rose saw the tardis for the first time, but that was twenty years ago. feels like the doctor just made the speech in 'the rings of akhaten' and that was a decade ago. clara is gone, amy is gone. peter capaldi went from gray to white. and the show is going on and children will think of ncuti gatwa and millie gibson and huge white tardis corridors when they think of doctor who in the future. to them, david tennant is already what tom baker is to us. this story has a huge legacy. when you're watching doctor who, it ironically begins to feel like you're making history just by watching it.

Chelsea Wolfe dressed as Peter Steele

Stiles: Do you think your family likes me?

Derek: My uncle literally bribed you to marry me

[headcanonthings]

Melissa: We call that a traumatic experience. Melissa, turning to Scott: Not a "bruh moment." Melissa, turning to Isaac: Not "rip." Melissa, turning to Lydia: Not a "failed oversight on my part". Melissa, turning to Peter: Not an "omen of destiny". Melissa, turning to Boyd: Not a "failed mission". Melissa, turning to Derek: Not a "display of weakness to the Hale bloodline." Melissa, turning to Erica: Not a "whoopsie daisies". Melissa, turning to the Sherriff: Not a "day without a paycheck". Melissa, turning to Stiles: And definitely not an "oof lmao".

Me everytime a Teen Wolf anti pops into my feed 💅

i've always just headcannoned that Stiles has keys, passkeys and codes to everyones stuff. you have a house key, car key, or something needing a code? Stiles has several copies on himself and hidden elsewhere.

like this dude has sticky fingers, and eyes everywhere. he's got the ability to get it into the sheriff's station, the school, hospital and vet. like if it's a mildly important place or is just slightly interesting, chances are high; he's got a key and code to get in

every time they try to change codes or keys, he has copies made a day later. no one is safe. no one.

people try to complain to the Sheriff, in the hopes he'll be able to stop him

he tells them all to suck it up.

while Stiles is the light of his life, he's also a feral gremlin,

the sheriff has been trying to keep him out of his stuff since he could walk

stiles also 100% has house and car keys to all of the pack

it drives argent insane that he can't keep him out

they've tried changing their stuff

it doesn't work

he also somehow got their passwords

(it wasn't hard, they're all stupid and have easy to guess passwords)

((besides Lydia and Danny))

Peter would absolutely be there stirring shit up

[casually-eat-my-soul]

Fully prepared for everyone to disagree but just my head cannon Peter sees stiles as an actual person (with autonomy) while he sees others as chess pieces to use because he recognizes stiles is similar to him.

Like it’s made fully clear that stiles is his favourite. Lydia brought him back to life, but the minute she plays her piece, he’s done.

Peter is a super morally grey character who manipulates and tricks his way through the seasons. He doesn’t get close to people but he favours stiles. He asked to give stiles the bite rather than take it from him. Because he sees stiles is just as clever, and thus stiles gains respect and becomes a person rather than a piece.

He is also number 1 sterek shipper, he tries to manipulate they into getting and staying together like he did with Paige, and stiles throws wolfsbane in his face

Oh, that Peter-Stiles dynamic is just so fascinating. Right off the bat. I remembered that it fascinated me, but I didn't remember that they are fascinating right from the start.

The tension in their first meeting at the hospital. How Peter, who has hurt or killed everyone he encountered so far, just... circles his prey until Derek gets there to defend Stiles.

The way Peter just. Tore into Lydia without a thought. But didn't harm Stiles at all.

The way Peter only bit Scott out of opportunity but wants Stiles in his pack - because Stiles is "the clever one" - and actually offers Stiles the bite. Doesn't force it onto him, fully giving Stiles the choice and then leaving without doing... any harm at all... when Stiles says no.

Obsessed with how obsessed Peter is with Stiles.

Lydia: We need your help. I’m asking nicely.

Peter: You honestly think batting pretty eyes and a killer smile is enough to get my nephew and I to do as you say? Please try again.

Stiles: I would kill for some ice cream right now.

Derek: I’ll get my car.

Peter: Who do I need to kill for it?

Derek: I can't believe I'm about to say this... but we need to rescue- *gags* Stiles: Uh-? Derek: we need to-dry heaves* Stiles: you-You don't have to say it. I- Derek: No no. I have to do this. We need to rescue pee-*loud gag*  Stiles: Derek, painfully: We need to rescue PETER FUCK Stiles as Derek bends over breathing heavy: Proud of you. I know that wasn't easy for you  Derek: I feel sick
