Matching Icons

Teen Wolf (Season 3, 2013-2014)

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[jollyrolls]

wips of matching petopther icons I am working on. I think Chris looks okay but Peter needs a little more corrections.

There was a survey for a petopher event recently and I have been hyped about these two ever since!!

[suzukiblu]

I just wanted to say, yesterday I sat down and binge-read all your Timkon fics, as well as most of the WIPS, and I BADLY want to write some now. I've never really written Tim, tho, since I'm more used to writing Jason. Do you have any tips, or bits of Tim and Kon characterization you consider especially important? (The WIP I've made on my head, if it helps, is (Daemon AU) comics!Tim ends up on Young Justice!Cartoon universe, and he's very, very weirded out by how different Kon is to Conner, and very pissed off that this Conner gets a Daemon while his Kon doesn't have one.)

tbh it kinda depends on where you're trying to go with the fic idea, I'd say? Also why Conner DOES have a daemon and Kon doesn't, probably. Also-also, does Conner even actually have a daemon or is Tim just confused about Wolf or something.

Generally speaking, though, the thesis of Tim is that he is a ride-or-die guy who really fucking COMMITS when he makes a decision. Sure, he'll stalk Batman. Sure, he'll introduce himself to Nightwing and tell him he knows his secret identity. Sure, he'll put on the suit Jason died in to go save Batman and Nightwing from their own stupid selves. Sure, he'll be Batman's emotional support sidekick and lead Young Justice and the Teen Titans and try to clone his dead best friend and run around the planet solo to save Bruce from the timestream. Why not! SOMEBODY'S gotta do it!!

"Somebody's gotta do it" is a lot of Tim's motivation, from what I can tell, haha. He also comparmentalizes really well, is a very talented and skilled detective as his defining Robin skill, uses a bo staff as his signature weapon after convincing Lady Shiva to train him and was the dude who was smart enough to add pants to the Robin suit, and one of his more iconic lines is I think Cassie going, "you lied to Starfire?" and him answering, "I lie to Batman". Which he does. Frequently. Frequently and a LOT-ly. To be fair, Bruce is also a fucking liar, so he deserves it. Tim, however, actually has friends he will ADMIT are his friends without having to be waterboarded into it during an active apocalypse-level crisis.

The boy has no chill. He DISGUISES his lack of chill, but it is fucking nonexistent and the ONLY reason he looks "reasonable" is because his besties are the teen idol superclone with limited life experience and Stephanie "welp my dad's gone supervillain so I'm gonna go kick him in the dick with my intermediate gymnastics" Brown. And then there's Cassie "I'm just gonna ask Zeus for superpowers, natch" Sandsmark.

Also Bart. Also Bart is a thing. Bart is SO MUCH a thing.

So yeah, Tim is a full-stop no-holds-barred insane person, he's just also a better liar than any of his friends. Like so, so much better. AT LEAST THEY HAVE SUPERPOWERS, TIM. AT LEAST THEY'VE GOT THAT. He figured out Bruce's secret identity at NINE 'cuz he went to the circus as a toddler and Dick Grayson's flips were just that sick, and then just didn't tell anybody for FOUR FUCKING YEARS. Four fucking YEARS!! ACTUAL FUCKING YEARS. He just didn't think it was relevant, I guess?!!? So instead he just stalked them with his camera and took cool pics. So many pics. So, so many pics. And he skateboards.

Also he and Kon fucking could NOT stand each other at first because Kon was used to being a solo act and didn't want to answer to anyone else and Tim lacked the ability to convince him to listen to him and they just had VERY different personalities and priorities, and also for a little while in there Match was fucking shit up by pretending to BE Kon, and frankly it's a fucking miracle Tim and Kon didn't kill each other before they ever got to be Titans together, the way they totally failed to get along for the first YJ run.

Seriously, I think they actually had a literal fucking fistfight on Apokolips once, I think that ACTUALLY happened. In the middle of a literal WAR that happened. Tim. Tim, you KNOW better, buddy.

My Personal Ranking of Teen Wolf Media so far, CONTAINS SPOILERS

1. Season 3B, this is literally the best writing, directing, and acting of the series, with Dylan O'Brien flexing his acting ability, reminder he had no formal acting training, and the death of a main character cemented this as the best season for any YA show in TV history. The Nogitsune aka Void Stiles is fucking terrifying.

2. Season 4, this season is underrated to me, from Kate's return to Derek losing his powers. However this season saw the departure of Tyler Hoechlin from the series as a main cast member, and that may have soured this season for many people. Between the werejaguar and Peter turning heel the villains are at their best and we get the iconic scene of Derek turning into a evolved werewolf.

3. Season 6B, the end of the series kicks into high gear and doesn't stop until the end. Stiles, Derek, Jackson and Ethan all return after long absences and make the show feel like Teen Wolf again, the villain is awful but Theo and Liam easily carry a few episodes.

4. Season 6A, due to Dylan O'Brien needing to leave the show to film Maze Runner, the writer's decided to have new villains called the Ghost Riders kidnap Stiles and effectively erase him from everyone's memories. This leads to the best acting from Tyler Posey imo. This also had the return of Derek via archive footage and Stydia becoming canon.

5. Season 3A, The Alpha pack is severely underrated and I loved how Danny got some character development even if it was small.

6. Season 2, Underrated? Yes. Good? Ehhhhh. The Kanima is fucking iconic and Colton Haynes shows off how fucking incredible he is as an actor. Derek's "Alpha high" is also well played. Boyd and Erica are good side characters but they deserved better

7. Season 5, the first season without Derek and it shows, the show decides to hint at a next generation spin off (which never happened) with extra focus on Liam Dunbar. But it feels like Scott, Stiles, Lydia and Malia are given the backseat. Theo Raeken is easily one of the best villains, manipulating everything to his benefit until it back fires on him. However this season gets boring fast with twenty episodes following one story. My favorite scene is still Stiles finally snapping and punching Scott.

8. Season 1, the start of the series also happens to be the worst. Scott is at his worst but is still likable in parts. The actors quickly get better with every episode, Holland Roden definitely improves fast.

9. Teen Wolf: The Movie, I don't even want to talk about this. This is Scallison fanfiction with all the bad parts of fanfiction, Derek is killed off, Malia and Parrish are a thing, Stydia broke up because of a dream etc. However, I did like Crystal Reed's performance as Allison, balancing being numb and brainwashed and scared because she doesn't know anything, Eli Hale is the best part, and the scene of Derek, Scott and Eli roaring with all the rooms matching their eyes is iconic, the score helps a lot.

[eldritcheden]

so it's totally past my bedtime but I've been watching NCIS again lately and need to go on a ramble so here goes

...not the full rewatch like back to series one and JAG and Kate and such, just from Netflix's catalogue on so like season 10 or something onwards

it was my number 1 obsession in my tweens and early teens but up until now I had seen little to none of the post Ziva era

here's a collection of thoughts:

I used to ship Tiva soooo hard - like I used to use 'Tiva' in usernames! and now I watch them and am just like euuuhhhh idk I feel like Ziva deserves better. In all honesty a lot of my ships (particularly when I was younger) are basically just a reflection of whatever the piece of media 'wanted' me to ship. like it was all just pattern recognition and the autism y'know.

having said that, and while we're on ships. I enjoyed the ride Ellick (apparently that's their ship name?) took me on. honestly as an extension of Ellie's arc in particular. Like there's that episode when she's dating Qasim but the team doesn't know yet and they talk about her compatibility with Reeves vs Torres, and the thing is like they were totally right Ellie and Torres totally weren't compatible at that point in Ellie's character arc. When she joins she's like the most stable 'normal' member of the team, she's maybe even a little naive, she's happily married to a fellow intellectual business-y soft-boy type. Then there's Qasim, still a fellow intellectual still a soft-boy type but much more of a romantic idealistic(?) soul. And throughout her tenure Ellie becomes more and more 'NCIS'- she gets more reckless and badass etc etc etc until the point where she kinda meets nick at his level for their compatibility. Like his character is comparatively relatively unchanged in that time, like he's settled a little bit really it's Ellie that 'matches his freak'. But her arc wasn't finished- she had to keep going and left him behind in her wake. and I dont think i really latched on until Ellie left but Torres is really one of My Guys at this point - like Elliot Spencer of Leverage flavoured guy. Y'know on the outside a bit of a broody (slightly sassy) lone-wolf badass type, super strong protective drive, vulnerable inside and don't believe they're worthy of love... Love that flavour of guy.

Okay that was a long one but I'm not really done with this topic but just think about the potential this holds for the future. I don't know why the actress left the show and that will effect how likely she'd ever be to come back but ugghhhh just imagine.

They run into Ellie on an op. She's undercover and 'working with' the bad guys. To protect both her cover and Torres she shoots him ala Gibbs and McGee in 1mm. THE ANGST. His little heart broken eyes. the tension the conflict. Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom delicious. She becomes one of their reoccurring 'villains' maybe her pic is even up on the most wanted wall. Maybe there's tie-ins with the Tony and Ziva series? Cause like I've seen that speculation and it kinda makes sense but again I need the drama of her being 'in opposition' to our mains. and anyway I need the friends to lovers to enemies to lovers /enemy lovers pipeline for them. The tension they could deliver, both dramatic and sexual, unprecedented. Sign me up.

I'm rambling, this isn't even general thoughts lol it's all Ellick with an honourable mention to Tiva.

Quick actually general thoughts:

They keep setting mcgee up as future director, and have been for a couple of seasons, I wonder if thats gonna come to fruition any time soon

12 yo me really did have a moment when Ziva came back.

Having said that I'm really not a cast purist. (I probably was at 12 tho lol) Like I don't mind people leaving and being replaced, that happens in long running shows and I feel like so far it's gone relatively well. Even Gibbs leaving- like he was iconic but they managed to make his departure seem refreshing rather than.. 'emptying'.. if that makes sense.

I guess I was surprised to find out that LA was cancelled, just cause it was the most solid spinoff they'd had but honestly I hadn't seen that in years either so who knows how it was actually doing.

I think 12 yo me is very excited for the Tony and Ziva spinoff. I just can't quite hear her over current me's excited projecting about future ellie possibilities- there's so much meat on that bone.

Ok. I really don't even know what I'm talking about at this point. Good. Night.

Edit: I remembered another thought. I was honestly low-key surprised that Knight and Jimmy became a thing cause I feel like at first they were kinda setting knights character up to be a lesbian- the way she clocked Marcy, and I feel like there was at least one other moment that I can't think of off the top of my head. I guess she could still be bi, but idk, I feel like I definately clocked a few hints early on that she wasn't into dudes? She and jimmy were a cute plotline though so I'm not gonna knock it

ROUND 1B! MATCH 2 OUT OF 8

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Original Fairytale:

The girl, the myth, the legend. The one who started it all. She skips into the forest with head held high, unknowing of the wolf and the many, many retellings of her story. Something, something, puberty, something, something, men are wolves. Just let my girl wear her red cape and be on her way to Granny's, please and thank you.

I feel like in a lot of modern adaptations they get lost in making Red Riding Hood more a girlboss who fights back or making her secretly (or not secretly) the real wolf or having her and the wolf be love interests, they lose a lot of what made the original fairytale so good. AND SO CHILLING! We have been told this story so often since childhood we can forget how frightening it can really be. A lost young girl, punished for the follies of childhood. I also think that even in the "happy" endings when the huntsman saves her there is this sense that she will never be the same. Her childhood is over. And that's haunting! The horrors of unprotected innocence.

The Path:

Each of these girls deal with their personal demons- in this case, "wolves-" as they grow and mature on the path of life. Each of them represent a different stage of a young person's life as they go through the world and the different ways in which that world can turn on that young person when they allow themselves to get lost in a dense forest, culminating in their reflection on the life they led.

the path is just a really cool underrated game idk man

i just really really like the path 🤷‍♂️

I will admit I'm only familiar with The Path through Izzzyzzz's seminal video on the subject but her Vibes are pretty iconic

(Scarlet) Most underrated sister imo. Her story is hauntingly sad and has themes of "lost of childhood" in a completely opposite way from the original Red Riding Hood, a good twist on the story.

(Ruby) The most well-known of the Path girls and the most goth, I get very sad when I see her. I know "teen angst" is a joke but sometimes I see reminders of just how full of despair teenagers can be. Her self-destructive tendencies and her "Charming Wolf" are leading her down a path (pun intended) that could kill her if she is not saved in time. It's so easy to dismiss teenage impulsion but only the survivors can.

(Ginger) Girl is so queer. Love that for her.

(Ginger) lesbiam

(Robin) Little girl sees giant wolf and wants to take it for a ride. Nuff said. (Also her room is the scariest imo. A child learning about death and their own mortality is mundane but terrifying)

[fairytale-poll]

LOSER'S BRACKET ROUND 1! MATCH 7 OUT OF 8

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Queen Red Riding Hood

General Propaganda:

She's a girlboss who is sometimes a little vain but still loves her friends and will do anything to save her kingdom. Also she was in love with a guy since she was like 8 and he continuously rejected her, and then she found out he was in love with her archenemy. So yeah, she needs this.

She's kinda spoiled and high maintenance but gets better. I just think she's a fun character

i loved the land of stories series as a kid and i especially loved red because shes sooo full of herself and wears beautiful dresses and expensive jewelry and stuff (she became a queen lol) but also she does come to genuinely care for people and her friends and has a good heart (even if she does brag about it) she’s a very funny character x)

She’s a great example of how sudden fame and wealth at a young age can go to your head, and she gets great character development about it. She has an entire giant chamber in her castle full of baskets (it’s unfortunately quite flammable). My most favorite detail about her is when she finds a wolf pup in the woods, she assumes it’s a dog and names him Clawdius (yes, spelled like that). Everyone else knows it’s a wolf but no one wants to be the one to tell her. She learns the truth and gets over it and now Clawdius is her guard wolf. (Oh also she had the original Big Bad Wolf made into a winter coat, and that’s the original reason Clawdius came to her) I love her, she’s married to a giant frog man, she got elected queen, please vote for her.

Queen Red ftw!!!!!!

As you can see from these little excerpts [Mod's note: click on link to look at the excerpts] that I managed to gather in less than ten minutes, you should vote for Queen Red :D

YESSSS VOTE FOR QUEEN RED, SHE DESERVES THIS SO MUCH

Vote for Queen Red TLoS!!! She's a girlboss who married a frog man :D

Loser's Bracket Propaganda:

Queen Red deseves to win so much, she's been through so much shit for the people she loves.

Queen Red Riding Hood is a bimbo who has moments of truly genuine and deep analysis and understanding also c’mon, Clawdius!! Her enemy is the Big Bad Wolf Pack and yet she still has her own good beloved pet wolf

Red riding hood (tlos) deserves to win because she accidentally got her friend put on a wanted list when she was a kid then she got elected queen at a young age let the power get to her head then she fell in love with a giant frog (HUGE) character development and he made her a better person by opening her mind a little and she should win because shes come for far and she deserves it

[linkles-art-blog]

Darling, I forgive you, after all Anything is better than to be alone And in the end I guess I had to fall; Always find my place among the ashes…

So, a short time back, I released a poll asking people if they wanted new angst art for Cherish, and the replies given were overwhelmingly positive, so here it is: the first work in a two-part set of angst art pieces.

There is a lot I would like to say in regards to this particular piece and the symbolism behind it, but I think that I will save that for under the cut, due to post length, zoomed in images, and talk of some much heavier subjects.

The idea behind creating these two art pieces was initially to participate in Domestic Violence Awareness Month (which is of course in October, which is also coincidentally Arthur’s birth month), if that gives you any idea of some of the subjects that will be below the cut (along with the usual stuff that I include in all of my art posts).

…And most importantly, if you can, please consider donating to some of the lovely organizations that help victims of various forms of abuse. I don’t want to recommend any particular ones in this post, as I don’t want to accidentally link to a place that may not be as on the level as some others out there, but if you have the time, please explore the Domestic Violence Awareness Month topic online, as I’m sure there are many lovely folks who can direct you to some great ones.

Also, if you think you or someone you know is being abused, or you just want to educate yourself on domestic violence and abuse, please visit thehotline.org and loveisrespect.org, which are two very very lovely sites dedicated to helping people in abusive situations that I myself have visited in the past.

I love you all so much.

Do not repost this artwork anywhere without my explicit permission or claim it as your own. See F.A.Q.s for details.

So, let me start off by saying that Arthur in this artwork was originally supposed to have a similar injury on his head to that which is described in Chapter 13 of my fic, but that was ultimately scrapped as I decided I did not want to be quite that heavy-handed and obvious with the imagery.

With that out of the way, let’s examine the finished piece a bit closer!

First, let’s talk about the (slightly crooked) painting in the background: this piece is actually not created by me at all, but rather, it is a painting from 1870 called Little Red Riding Hood at Her Grandmother’s Door, by Frederick Warne — with the subject, as the title implies, being Little Red Riding Hood arriving at her Grandmother’s cottage.

This sets a subtle nod for the main theme of this piece — with Arthur dressed in an outfit inspired by and matching the same coloring scheme of Little Red Riding Hood’s iconic garb. Paul, on the other hand, sports the gray, white, and black colors of the Wolf, with his shadow coming out behind him as an unsettling and somewhat uncanny wolf shape, grinning with its teeth bared.

The purpose of this symbolism is threefold: Firstly and most superficially, the music video for the song that the second piece was most inspired by also has a slight Little Red Riding Hood theme to it, so this can be seen as a subtle nod to it, but more importantly, it not only sets the precedent of Paul as the predator and Arthur as his prey, but also is meant to hold the same implications of sexual trauma — as well as the old physical violence and “wolf in sheep’s clothing” adage — that the fairytale is commonly viewed through the lens of and thought to represent in modern times.

Continuing forward from that idea, we can see Paul’s right hand reaching uncomfortably close toward Arthur’s inner thigh, whilst Arthur’s hands are in chains — lending not only to the sense that the teen is trapped in this relationship, but that his significantly older lover very simply does not care if he wants to be in it or not, and will do whatever necessary to keep him where he wants him — even if it means mental or some variety of physical harm.

Furthermore, if we examine Rimbaud’s hands, we can see that he is making a careful attempt at signaling his distress to the viewer of the photo — using both of his hands to try to show off the chains and also subtly form and display the two phases of the sign for help — at the same time trying to keep his pose seeming as natural as possible in front of his abuser by not facing them towards the camera, but rather letting them rest downward in his lap.

And to further drive home the point that Verlaine is keeping him trapped in their partnership, we can see the key to Arthur’s cuffs dangling from the chain of the stopwatch in the elder poet’s pocket that is fastened to his lapel.

If we then look to Arthur’s and Paul’s faces, we can further determine the mood of the two men by examining their eyes and expressions.

Whereas Paul is staring intently into his young affair partner’s eyes and grinning widely — with the slightest shimmer visible in his irises — unbothered and uncaring of the wedding ring he still has boldly worn upon his hand, Rimbaud will not look him in the eyes, instead glancing off to the side (almost in the direction of his lover’s ring) with lightless eyes (this is the first time I have drawn Arthur without any form of eye shine to emphasize this point), furrowed eyebrows, and only a half-smile on his face, as barely visible tears well up in the corners of his eyes.

…And yeah, that’s been my little deep-dive on the symbolism of this art piece! I really wanted to create something that at just a quick glance would mostly appear happy and cute, but which — like the painting which is only very slightly tilted) would get increasingly more unsettling the longer and closer you looked at it, and I really hope that I successfully captured that feeling in this work and that you enjoyed reading along with my notes on it!

See you in the next piece!

[steter-bang]

Steter Bang 2024 Q&A

What is a “Bang,” in general? A Big Bang (or “Bang” for short) is a specific type of challenge usually involving long fics and accompanying artwork. Read more about Big Bangs and their history on the Fanlore website here. What is the Steter Bang? It’s a Steter focused Bang! We’re big lovers of Teen Wolf’s Peter Hale/Stiles Stilniski round these here parts. If you’re here, you hopefully are too! 🤣 Since we want to spread as much Steter love as possible, we’re expanding on the exact definition of “long fic” and the exact definition of “accompanying artwork” for this event.

Expanding on? Yup! We’re doing two tracks again this year: the Big Bang track and the Mini Bang track. For the Mini Bang track, we’re asking for a 1,000-word minimum story. For the Big Bang track, you’re signing up for a 10,000-word minimum story (which is more in line with traditional “Big Bang” events!). And for the “accompanying artwork” part, we’re broadening that definition to include all sorts of transformative fanworks. Some examples could be: manips, mood boards, playlist, icons, vids, filk, podfic, embroidery, tarot cards, fanart, ficbinding, or remixes of fanfiction.

I’ve seen most of these but what’s a “remix?” Let me explain…“No, there is too much. Let me sum up.” (Sorry, couldn’t resist a Princess Bride reference.) A remix is a new fanwork that reimagines an earlier fanwork. This could be by role reversal, a POV flip, a sequel or a prequel, or lots of other things! It should stay true to the definition of a transformative work and “add something new, with a further purpose or different character, altering the [source] with new expression, meaning, or message.”Check out the Fanlore page on remixes right here. Now give me the nitty-gritty details. Although every fandom runs Bangs slightly differently, we’re mirroring what we consider a more traditional Big Bang event format. Everyone will sign up and pick which track they want to do–Mini Bang or Big Bang–and whether they want to participate as a writer or an artist (don’t worry, we’re including all sorts of fanwork creators as artists–see above!). Writers will have a slightly shorter sign-up period so that they have time to get their summaries to us. We’re going to allow a slightly longer sign-up period for any last minute artists to hop on board. It’s going to be the same sign-up form, we’ll just edit it when we’re no longer allowing writer sign-ups. Writers will have just under a week to work on their summaries (including tags they feel may be relevant and info on anything that would be considered an archive warning). Once artist sign-ups close, we’ll send out the summaries to the artists. Artists then choose their top 5 fics that they’d like to create a fanwork for. We’ll do some Excel wizardry to match everyone up and send out info on partners the following day. We’re not setting a strict timeline for hand-offs this year (although, we’re more than happy to give you a deadline if you need one!), so you’ll need to work with your partner on your own timelines for getting both works done. We really want writers to consider that you may need to hand over your completed fic well before the event is done (possibly halfway through!). If your partner is doing a podfic or a ficbind or some other fanwork that requires a completed work, then you’ll need to factor this into your schedule. I’ve never done a fandom event like this, though… The best time to start is now!! If you feel you can’t draw or can’t write, then create a mood board & a playlist! Or make a vid! Or create a podfic! As Neil Gaiman once said, “[W]e can take joy in the act of creation.” Dive in and experience that joy for yourself. And we’ll be there every step of the way, if you need any help! Alright, I’m in. What next? Yay! We’re excited to have you join! Here’s what to do next:

:D Hi Countless! How about 2, 3, 7, 9, and 31 for Sparrow!

Heya Baba!! :] Thank you for letting me ramble about Sparrow once again hehe 2. A canon or headcanon hill I will die on

Hm, strongest thought that comes to mind is that Sparrow loves his family (especially his kids) so very much, more than himself even. Also related, Sparrow and Rebecca having Normal as an accidental pregnancy isn't something awful. Maybe I feel strongly about this because...I was an accidental baby myself? But it kinda bums me out how harsh some folks on here were being about the reveal. Unplanned does not automatically equal unloved or unwanted is all I'm trying to say I guess.

3. Obscure headcanon Sparrow has always loved playing with his food, often using the edible materials to make mini food towers or little scenes or expressions. With drinks, he likes to mix them a lot to see the colors change or to making silly shaped stains on available napkins/his clothes/other material. As an adult, he still does this--just at home or when he's relaxing in the woods/park during a break (with picnic basket). Yes, he is one of those people who will press every drink machine option to get a little of each flavor in the cup. When he was little and left alone with other people's food plates, he'd start making art out of them too! He would then pretend he didn't do anything when the person returned and watch to see the reactions. He convinced a few of his elementary school classmates the school was haunted this way. 7. Age/height/weight headcanon So I think all the kiddads are in their 30s in s2, I assume Sparrow and Lark are 35? 10 in s1 and 25 years past... speaking of years, was listening to the uncut of s2 ep 1 yesterday and one of the things cut was Anthony saying it might be 30 years instead of 25. Height wise, I think Sparrow is like 5'9 and Lark's 6'. Sparrow closes his eyes to the truth and says he is 6' anyway (even now he still likes to match in some ways). Also, Rebecca is taller than them at 6'2. I don't have any specific weight hcs outside of Sparrow probably isn't that toned compared to Lark due to different fighting styles (hand-to hand combat heavy Lark vs Long distance caster Sparrow). Still skilled in hand-to-hand combat though when necessary. 9. Scene that first made me love (or hate) the character In the first ep, when Sparrow proudly talks about his doodler mascot design and also mentioned trying better next time about setting fires at the school haha. (I interpreted that last bit to be Sparrow talking at least, may be remembering wrong). The twins introduction in general seemed so fittingly chaotic as young kid characters. Kids will do the most unusual stuff (ex. being a menace to trees) simply because...why not! seems fun! I adore the whimsy and also understand Henry's frustration and concern about their actions too. 31. If the had a tumblr what would it look like? Chaosflower as the username, probably says "a beloved wolf" in the little blog descriptor along with whatever pronouns he's feeling that week. It would look pretty and/or cool palette wise with this night sky banner that has stars, a bright moon, various soft glowing flowers, and wolves walking along the path. Which looks normal etc UNTIL you zoom in and sees the skulls and debris laying in the sand and that some of the wolves have suspiciously reddish fur and glistening teeth. Also the banner has fake constellations that make various shapes...probably characters from shows/books/podcasts etc that he likes. He is so thrilled whenever someone sends in an ask commenting on the banner and is just waiting for the opportunity to explain in great detail all the info he put into it from the setting, the wolf names, to the meaning of each flower type. He also has a wolf icon--actual picture of a wolf with a pink rose on its head and what seems to be the unfocused image of a person (probs a teen) high-fiving the wolf. He wild shaped, posed, turned back into normal self and posed on the other side, stitched the image together. Its an art blog mainly where he posts fanart including animatics and lots of silly memes probably (<-- based on the artist Sparrow hcs from the bonding with Taylor idea). I think he speaks a lot of Spanish daily (with family atleast) but mostly writes in English for school work etc. So he enjoys writing at least half of his tumblr posts in Spanish or with a mix of both languages. Probably makes wolf drawing tutorials sometimes, and of course he has a wolfsona of his own.

Love the new header!

Aww, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tbh she needed an update. When did i do that last one??? four years ago?????

So. From;

literally just an image with a gradient map

to;

Honestly, a vested improvement, imo. Nice to hear that's not just my opinion, lol :D. Wanted more rep of stuff other than just teen wolf on my blog, bc it's multifandom and that wasn't... super represented in my graphics, which could be misleading (and i like to be accurate about these things! I put a lot of thought into this stuff.) Also, kinda needed to match me to my writerblr (wip pllsssss tumbles give me javascript ive already asked nicely), graphics , and youtube accounts. Just for my peace of mind, you know?

To break down - it's a combo of my old desktop blog bkg that i missed (nostalgia's funny like that) and an Assassin's Creed Claysmond themed header i used to use for a different blog's navigation page repurposed <3 here's the components:

(claysmond my beloveds)

It was all further edited to match the colour palette;

which is still a little wip because some of that just seems kind of ? off? when next to each other, but for now! I like!!!

plus my old icon (which didn't really match anyway???? why was it so faded lol) got a little glo up <3 I used. my computer's desktop background for it. lol.

Just slightly colour edited to match the theme <3 Still stalia. They're my beloveds.

Anyway Graphic Design Is My Passion (TM) so, yk :D thank you for the excuse to ramble about it lol. I like to make stuff match. Literally nobody will ever see it, but even my computer lockscreen matches :D.

The box is where the time of day goes <3 And since i might as well;

The youtube stuff - icon and header. <3

Also, to note, I'm thinking of changing my whole cescalr blog over to this desktop layout. Thoughts Are Being Had, lol. Current desktop is totally broken in the display of posts (they're nested :|), sighhhhh. But that one has an awkward placement of the Tumblr bar in the top right (literally over the top of the title of the blog, why) so. Hmm. Blog theme searching is a horrid endeavour now JavaScript is disabled (and they Still Haven't Given Me It Despite Asking A Year Ago!!!) on most blogs.

Anyway <3 sorry for rambling lmao. Thanks again!!!

PINNED POST! ✨

Hello, everyone! ＼(≧▽≦)／ This is an independent, private, selective, multi-muse and multi-fandom roleplay blog! Current muses include characters from Disney, Genshin Impact, Teen Wolf, and plenty of other fandoms! More muses to be added as I find the time to do so! RULES ⭒✩⭒ MUSES ⭒✩⭒ MUN ⭒✩⭒ INTERACTION MEMES (always open!)

Written and loved by Casi, 30, located in the USA. I have over 10+ years of roleplay experience, with 5+ years on Tumblr on previous single-muse blogs. Thank you for perusing and I look forward to interacting with all of you! uwu 💖

Rules for mobile users under the cut!

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS

I am in no way affiliated with the creators of the media that any of my muses originate from. I do not own any of these characters who are not explicitly stated to be OCs.

This blog is NOT spoiler free! Please be aware that this blog’s pages, threads, headcanons, etc may contain spoilers. 

I do not send passwords, but if I follow you I have read your rules!

Icons were made for me by my incredibly kind and talented girlfriend, so please do not take them. Some muses may not use icons, depending. For example, I will not be using icons for any live-action characters. 

My blog’s theme background and other graphics were made by the incredibly talented Beckowsky!

I do not own any images used unless stated otherwise.  

Certain aspects of my characters’ personalities, backstories, etc are headcanon-based, especially in the event where there are things that have not been explained/established by canon. Certain characters may also be canon divergent.

Please be aware that I will not hold back my characters. Basically, this means that I ask you to be understanding of the fact that certain characters who are available on this blog may not be friendly towards your muse in interactions. Anything that my muses do or say has nothing to do with my feelings towards you or your muse! It’s important to me as a writer to be true to my characters, so I am not willing to sugarcoat them to spare anyone’s feelings just like I wouldn’t expect anyone else to do so either.  

Certain muses on this blog may have disabilities/disorders/conditions that the writer does not (e.g. Kaeya’s alcoholism, Kazuma's amnesia, Liam's IED, etc). I do my best to write these things both accurately and respectfully, but I am only human and I lack personal experience, so it’s possible that I may get things wrong! If that happens, I welcome constructive, respectful feedback on these aspects from those with more knowledge/experience. 

BASICS

Private and selective (mutuals only). 

Multiverse and multiship.

OC, AU, and crossover friendly.

Activity may be sporadic and slow at times. Please be patient with me and I’ll pay you the same respect. 

General RP rules and etiquette apply! No godmodding, IC does not equal OOC, don’t reblog threads that you’re not involved in, don’t pester me for replies, don’t send hate or start OOC drama, etc. 

THREADS AND IC INTERACTIONS

If I follow you it means that I want to interact with you, so don’t be shy! Mutuals can like starter calls, reply to opens, tag me in starters, and contact me for chatting or plotting at any time!

Interaction and starter memes are open to mutuals only. Non-mutuals are free to send in OOC memes/questions. 

I love continuing ask responses as threads, but please move them into a new post. 

All thread lengths are accepted, however please note that I tend to write longer replies. So long as you give me enough to go off of, never feel obligated to match my length. 

The mun is over the age of 21. Smut may occur with muses who are of age, however, I am only comfortable writing smut with people who I am very familiar and comfortable with OOC.

Other nsfw content (blood, violence, other sensitive/mature themes) will occur and will be tagged. 

My only trigger is trypophobia. I will not follow you if you post pictures of this type. Triggers will be tagged as “tw: ____” 

Matching my formatting is not required. My use or non-use of icons may vary depending on the muse.

I will not interact with duplicates of my muses, with the exception of other multi-muse blogs that also have any of my same characters as muses, in which case I am happy to interact with any other available characters aside from duplicates of my own.

I will not interact with OC children of my muses. 

SHIPPING

Please see below for a list of same-fandom ships that I adore! If you have a problem with any of these ships, I ask that you please do not interact. We’re all allowed to ship different things and have different opinions; I will never hate on anyone for what they ship, so please show me the same respect. 

Genshin Impact Ships:

Kaeya/Dainsleif

Kaeya/Diluc

Kaeya/Albedo

Childe/Zhongli

Childe/Scaramouche (EXCLUSIVE with balladccr)

Childe/Diluc

Xiao/Venti

Xiao/Aether

Baizhu/Zhongli

Kaveh/Alhaitham

Other Ships:

Kazuma/Ryunosuke (EXCLUSIVE with tenacquity)

Kazuma/Van Zieks

Finn/Sean

Amaya/Magnifico (EXCLUSIVE with magnifiico)

Derek/Stiles

Liam/Theo

Rhys/Timothy Lawrence (EXCLUSIVE with jackdup)

Rhys/Handsome Jack

Chemistry is still key even for the ships listed above! Either IC development or OOC discussions to develop chemistry and make sure our characters click is necessary for a ship to occur. 

I am very open minded about ships (read: I am shipping trash X’D), so if your muse is not one of the characters listed in the ships above and you’d like to explore the possibility of pairing our characters together, never hesitate to send me a message so we can talk about it! Crossover ships are also welcome!

All ships take place in separate universes; no one is cheating on anyone.

While I am currently not comfortable writing smut on tumblr, if we develop a ship between our muses, I am fine with suggestive themes/dialogue and things getting heated in threads! Once the clothes start coming off, however, I will request that we fade-to-black. 

Thank you for reading! >3< ❤️

#  HALESHE  :  INDEPENDENT,  SELECTIVE  &  PRIVATE  PORTRAYAL  OF  LAURA HALE,  ORIGINALLY  ROOTED  IN  TEEN WOLF,  WRITTEN  AS  A  FANDOMLESS  &  MULTIFANDOM  CHARACTER.  TRIGGERING  MATERIALS  AHEAD,  PROCEED  WITH  CAUTION.  adored  by  shelley  —  31,  pst,  low  activity.

also at: @divienity, @fairchield, @l1ghtwood.

⟢ rules.

001.  first  things  first,  my  activity  is  incredibly  sporadic  and  slow.  my  muse  is  fickle,  and  i  work  nearly  full  time  as  a  starbucks  supervisor  with  a  schedule  that  changes  weekly.  i  don't  always  have  the  energy  to  be  around,  and  i'm  not  going  to  force  myself  to  be.  you  can  always  find  me  on  @divienity.

002.  laura's  technically a canon character and belongs to jeff davis because of that, but i've been developing her for years now, and she's basically an original character since we get very little info on her!   all headcanons, development and the like belong to me, and at this moment, i am not duplicate character friendly because of how much work i've put into her.  she  is  also  been  adapted  to  fit  multiple  fandoms  such  as  the  vampire  diaries  universe,  the  hunger  games,  teen  wolf  and  more,  so  if  you're  not  familiar  with  her  canon,  that's  okay!  i  can  easily  adapt  to  just  about  anything.

003. laura's development is heavily tied to headcanons and a lot of ideas of my own, and there are many side characters that are featured on a sideblog to this one, @herpack. you don't have to follow that blog and interact with it, but just saying, it could be fun! a lot of those characters will also be mentioned here and there when it comes to furthering laura's story, so if you're lost, you can find the characters important to laura's development there.

004.  this  blog  uses  the  beta  editor  only  and  uses  xkit  rewritten  as  a  form  of  trimming  reblogs.  please  use  the  same  when  it  comes  to  our  threads!  my  icon  border  is a mixture of elements  by  ariapsds  & creationcolor and  the  coloring  is  by  weirdestwitch.   icons  made  with  caps  downloaded  from  screencapped,  or  downloaded  and  made  by  myself.  sometimes  gifs  are  used,  and  those  are  found  through  the  actor  gif  hunt  tag  on  tumblr!  creators  will  be  properly  credited  as  i  use  them.

005.   i  use  double  space  and  small  size  text,  but  i'll  happily  match  your  use  of  big  text  if  you  like!  i  don't  do  anything  very  fancy  with  my  formatting  though,  and  i  ask  that  you  don't  go  too  crazy  with  replies  to  me  so  i  can  read  it  easily.

006.  i  love  shipping,  and  laura's  such  an  easy  character  to  ship  with,  so  please  feel  free  to  send  me  shippy  means  to  test  the  water!  i  would  absolutely  adore  to  explore  a  romantic  dynamic  with  you.

007.  if  i'm  following  you,  i  want  to  write  with  you.  i  don't  mind  if  it  takes  a  while  to  get  to  it,  but  i  do  ask  that  there  is  some  interaction  ooc  so  i  know  you're  interested  in  writing  and  aren't  just  treating  me  like  a  number  in  your  follower  count.

008.  lastly,  have  fun!  it's  no  joke  when  we  say  this  is  a  hobby  and  not  a  job,  and  i  hope  it's  treated  as  such.  also,  stay  hydrated!

Steter Bang 2023 Q&A

What is a “Bang,” in general?

A Big Bang (or "Bang" for short) is a specific type of challenge usually involving long fics and accompanying artwork. Read more about Big Bangs and their history on the Fanlore website here.

What is the Steter Bang?

It’s a Steter focused Bang! We’re big lovers of Teen Wolf’s Peter Hale x Stiles Stilniski round these here parts.

However… we’re kinda expanding on the exact definition of “long fic” and the exact definition of “accompanying artwork” for the 2023 Steter Bang.

… expanding on?

Yup! We’re doing two tracks this year: the “Big Bang” track and the “Mini Bang” track. The Mini Bang track will be extremely similar to how we ran the event last year: we’re asking for a 1,000-word minimum story. For the Big Bang track, you’re signing up for a 10,000-word minimum story (which is more in line with traditional “Big Bang” events!). And for the “accompanying artwork” part, we’re broadening that definition to include all sorts of transformative works of fanfiction. Some examples could be: manips, mood boards, playlist, icons, vids, filk, podfic, embroidery, tarot cards, fanart, ficbinding, or remixes of fanfiction.

I’ve seen most of these but what’s a “remix?”

Let me explain! A remix is a piece of fanfiction that reimagines an earlier piece of fanfiction. This could be by role reversal, a POV flip, a sequel or a prequel, or lots of other things! Check out the Fanlore page on remixes right here.

It should, however, stay true to the definition of a transformative work and “add something new, with a further purpose or different character, altering the [source] with new expression, meaning, or message.”

Okay, give me the nitty-gritty details.

You got it!

Although every fandom runs Bangs slightly differently, we’re mirroring what we consider a more traditional “Big Bang” event format. Everyone will sign up and pick which track they want to do – Big or Mini – and whether they want to participate as an author or an artist (don’t worrry, we’re including all sorts of fanwork creators as artists – see above!). Authors will have a slightly shorter sign-up period so that they have time to get their summaries to us. We’re going to allow a slightly longer sign-up period for any last minute artists to hop on board. 😉 It’s going to be the same sign-up form but we’ll just edit it when we’re no longer allowing author sign-ups. Authors will have just under a week to work on their summaries (including tags they feel may be relevant and info on anything that would be considered an archive warning). Once artist sign-ups close, we’ll send out the summaries to the artists. Artists then choose their top 5 that they’d like to create a fanwork for. We’ll do some Excel wizardry to match everyone up and send out info on partners the following day. ☺️

We’re not setting a strict timeline for hand-offs this year (although, we’re more than happy to give you a deadline if you need one!), so you’ll need to work with your partner on your own timelines for getting both works done. We really want authors to consider that you may need to hand over your completed fic well before the event is done (possibly halfway through!). If your partner is doing a podfic or a ficbind or some other fanwork that requires a completed work, then you’ll need to factor this into your schedule.

I’ve never done a fandom event like this, though…

The best time to start is now!! If you feel you can’t draw or can’t write, then create a mood board & a playlist! Or make a vid! Or create a podfic! That last one is what got me, personally, into creating for fandom.

As Neil Gaiman once said, “[W]e can take joy in the act of creation.” I hope that you decide to dive in and experience that joy for yourself. And we’ll be there every step of the way, if you need any help!

Alright, I’m in. What next?

Yay! We’re excited to have you join!

First, review the rules here. Second, check out the schedule here. Third, sign up here. And you’re good to go!
