What was my plan for the day: a quick warmup and get some work done on a comic project

What ended up happening: mid-panel i remembered this image, the demons overtook me and suddenly it’s 10pm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@tiffanyblewss @roxannymcphee and I have a headcanon that Derek is just SUPER into the Bachelor but never talks about it like that’s what he was doing while Peter was like killing people and Scott and Stiles THOUGHT it was Derek but it wasn’t

*old timey radio announcer voice* Everyone's always asking gay people. Who's the man!? Who's the woman!? Who's the top!? Who's the bottom!? But what we should REALLY be asking gay people is who thinks their value comes from what they can do for others? and who believes they should be put down like a sick dog?

(Bonus points if one or more of your ship contains both attributes)

sure you are, buddy

Apparently I have many more thoughts about this lol:

(partly inspired by this post by @7thleveldown )

At first, this whole thing is so annoying because Stiles is very tactile and has no idea that he’s accidentally leaving his scent all over Derek. Derek himself is quite casually tactile around others, but he realizes that there’s no such thing as a casual touch when it comes to Stiles. He can’t be casual with Stiles because that’s just not how they are. Stiles pushes his buttons, riles him up, and challenges him on everything to the point that it pisses him off (read: he’s attracted to Stiles but refuses to admit it to himself). He makes it clear in 2x02 that he doesn’t want Stiles touching him on the shoulder, a boundary that he doesn’t seem to have with any of the other guys throughout the show. Derek thinks that if Stiles can just keep his hands to himself, his scent will finally just go away and Derek can stop thinking about him so damn often.

Stiles is just… always there, always willing to help, yet is never afraid to call Derek out when he’s being an asshole. His scent and heartbeat (which is always slightly erratic) stand out from everyone else, in the same way that Stiles himself does. Stiles isn't just annoying, he's smart, tenacious, and brave. He's funny and goofy in a way that Derek finds embarrassingly endearing. He's aggressively loyal to those he deems worthy. And it totally drives Derek up the wall, because it makes him care about Stiles way more than he thinks he should. He loosens on his boundary because Stiles never needed to actually leave his scent on Derek to make such a lasting impression anyways.

No matter what he does, he just can’t get Stiles’s scent out of his leather jacket. Once Derek moves into the loft, Stiles’s scent is all over the place- damn Stiles and his tendency to fiddle with literally everything in sight. Derek swears that it becomes permanently embedded onto his shoulder, a place that Stiles has touched multiple times. It should be physically impossible for it to linger so long. At a certain point, Derek wonders how much of the scent is conjured from his imagination alone. Think about it- all this horrible traumatic shit is happening around them, but at the very least, he knows that Stiles would never betray him. And if Stiles isn’t around, Derek’s imagination can at least use the memory of his scent to keep himself grounded. In a sense, Stiles’s scent make him feel like he’s not alone.

What’s more, they both seem to unanimously value telling the blunt truth above all else, no matter how hurtful it is. While completely infuriating, he can’t not listen to Stiles when he tells it how it is, especially because he’s almost always right. He always holds Derek accountable for his wrongdoings. But Stiles only does it because he really believes that Derek can do better. He has this way of looking at Derek like he sees everything- the insecurity, the loneliness, and the anguish hidden behind a callous facade. He sees the potential in Derek that Derek himself is unable to see over his mountain of self-esteem issues.  Over time, he and Stiles both learn through their life-saving interactions that being a good person isn’t just who you are; you become a good person through the choices that you make. Stiles shows him compassion when so many people only want him for their own benefit. He teaches Derek that there are still trustworthy people out there and that being vulnerable with them is a sign of strength, not weakness.

He doesn’t make the connection about Stiles being his anchor until he dreams of Stiles at the end of 3b. Just think about it; Kate has come back from the dead and has just ambushed him, and he’s dissociating from reality as he fades in and out of consciousness. It wouldn’t be at all unreasonable to expect Derek to revert back to anger as an anchor, especially since Kate was the main source of it. But he doesn’t. His subconscious shows him Stiles instead; Stiles, whose influence has had a huge ripple effect on the trajectory of Derek’s life and relationships.

An anchor is something that keeps you grounded in your humanity. And, well. Stiles is the one that helped Derek feel like a human being when so many people (including Derek himself) saw him as a lost cause. And Stiles didn’t do it by coddling him or absolving him of any wrongdoing. He did it by appealing to his humanity, by daring him to become a better person. Stiles’s scent, at the end of the day, represents the unexpected and bizarre journey it took for Derek to anchor himself to his humanity again. All because Stiles was annoying (but not really) enough to show his love for Derek, time and time again.

How Stiles Became Derek's Anchor by Being Annoying:

Alright hear me out: they're forced to interact through circumstance and Derek finds Stiles so obnoxious that he just can’t ignore him or his scent. It gets to the point where he just… smells it all the fucking time, even when Stiles isn't there. He'll be running errands and suddenly he catches a whiff of Stiles off his leather jacket and he’s so fucking done with it all. Then, as he slowly begins to trust Stiles, he starts automatically seeking it out. He can smell Stiles approaching from miles away and it becomes his focal point, because as annoying as it is, it also makes him feel safe.

Then by the time 3B rolls around, Derek’s the only one who can track Stiles's scent from memory alone. And Derek is just too embarrassed to explain that he can only do it because he accidentally Pavlov'ed himself into having the world's most annoying anchor lol.

Me, walking up to a fictional gay couple: So which one of you uses a baseball bat for self defense and which one drives a Camaro?

So, I saw this bumper sticker today (had to change the image I found to say "sexy" instead of "smokin'", please excuse the mismatched fonts):

And I had this incredibly ridiculous Sterek thought:

I am now having additional ridiculous thoughts for other ships.

What other bad edits should I make?

Feel free to use this terrible template for your own ships, and please read me when you do
