Bad books on writing tell you to “WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW”, a solemn and totally false adage that is the reason there exist so many mediocre novels about English professors contemplating adultery.

I cannot reblog this enough, this is hilarious to me.

This is so random but I just can’t stop imagining my brotp Derek x Kira x Boyd having a favorite tree they like to climb and share secrets on. I just really need Kira and Boyd convincing Derek Stiles likes him and he should ask him out while they sit on that tree eating candy and whispering like kids ; – ;
I am so here for this! They would be great friends. I have read a few with Kira and Derek friendships as well as several Boyd and Derek friendships, but the three of them together sounds great.
Did they grow up together? Did they had their secret tree house but now they are too big for it so they just sit in the tree? One of them always has some candy to share?
Sometimes they just sit there in silence, because they just need a moment to just be.
“Stiles like you.” Boyd said, taking a candy from the bag in Dereks lap. “If Ericas complaining is anything to go on.”
“Maybe she’s over-”
“No Derek, Stiles likes you.” Kira nudged her elbow against his arm. “It’s obvious to everyone.”
“Except you, apparently” Boyd smirked at his friend.
them: are you okay
in my head: i can’t believe that no one seemed particularly concerned by percival graves’ actual whereabouts at the end of fantastic beasts and where to find them, the movie? it just doesn’t make sense. didn’t he have friends? at the very least seraphina picquery should have been shocked and bamboozled, even saddened and concerned upon learning that the man she has been spending time with on a professional level these past few months has not, as she had believed, been percival graves. i can’t imagine that she wouldn’t immediately launch a magical investigation on the matter, especially considering all the effort she went through in an attempt to close this one. surely she couldn’t have acted as if the case was closed when percival graves had not been found? and how did newt of all people understand that it was not in fact percival graves, but grindelwald all along? he didn’t even know graves on a personal level. surely someone would have noticed a change in behavior somewhere along the line. doesn’t he have colleagues? family?? neighbours????
me: yeah i’m fine
Ao3 needs a feature like the comments on soundcloud where you comment along the waveform–I need to tell the author “I cried here” and “you sonofabitch” in real time, not collect it all for the end.
when u got shit to do but bae’s being v distracting
I don’t necessarily think Draco would get flustered easily, but ever since Harry’s taken up Quidditch again it’s become difficult to focus
IM GONNA C RY IM LAUGHIN SO HA RD
This gifset really fucking kills me. I know it’s been said before but every time I see it it always has the same effect. I’m pretty sure this is the scene where (I think it was) Jen (or one of the alphas) threw it in Stiles face that she knew where Stiles dad was. And Derek just lost his shit. Just fucking look at him. Look at his body language. How he throws the table across Stiles’ path so he won’t be able to try and stop him from going after them, almost like it would be a shield to block him from anything. And Stiles.. he had already been in the process of taking a step back. He wanted to back away because that shit fucking hurt him and then Derek just goes after them like a fucking guard dog and it just. Feels okay.
And Stiles doesnt even try to stop him.. because Stiles is tired. This whole situation had to have been taking a mental toll on him that he once in a while only lets people peak at. The real damage being done.. that’s the shit that he hides away from the world. The boy probably hadn’t slept in days.. crying at night when no one’s around because he knows what’s at stake.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Derek took a walk past his house every now and again to check on him. He could probably hear him in his room trying to keep the sound of his sobs down even though the house was empty. Especially because the house is empty.
Because Derek knows. He knows what a toll this has taken on Stiles. Stiles knows what it’s like to lose one parent but Derek knows what it’s like to lose both. And he doesn’t want to watch Stiles go through that pain. That change in his psyche. He wants to protect Stiles from the world and he wants better for Stiles than what he had to go through. He doesn’t want anyone to go through that. Not scott, not even Allison.
And I’m not even talking romantically. This has nothing to do with the ship. This is what canon character development suggests. Derek genuinely cares about Stiles. The human of the pack. And we all know that he’s verbally constipated but he appreciates the fuck out of Stiles, even if he can’t always express it.
So when it gets thrown in Stiles face again.. he just loses it.
Tell me again how Derek only cares about himself. He cares about everyone BUT himself and that is a WHOLE OTHER CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER DAY BECAUSE GODDAMN IF STILL WATERS RUN DEEP HE IS THE FUCKING PACIFIC OCEAN.
TL:DR – Derek cares about Stiles a lot.
Living for this
i am so here for friends who randomly start typing and sending paragraphs at me. like it doesnt matter if youre excited about something or if you just wanna talk a lot about a specific thing. im so here for that. its all interesting & i wanna hear
Can you just imagine though????
He probably brings them all treats for after class, and I’m not talking about sweets or candy but actual prizes. He prints out certificates and when someone does something well or manages to do something they couldn’t before he writes it down on the certificate and makes sure to give it to them at the end of the day and tell them what a good job they did.
For the kids who tried really hard but couldn’t manage to do the stuff, he always makes certain to high five them and tell how awesome they are doing if they’re sad – which naturally Derek can sense with his wolfy nose – and lets them choose a prize from ‘Mr Hale’s Goodie Bag’.
When little Jack from his teeny bopper class shyly confesses he has a crush on him Derek smiles and in the nicest way tells Jack he’s maybe just a little too old for him but he’s glad Jack told him and that liking other boys is always okay and he can always come and talk to Derek about anything.
When Lacy from his slightly older class comes in one day and tells Derek the only reason she’s there is because her parents work until late and can’t afford a babysitter and she really doesn’t like karate, Derek talks with her parents and tells them Lacy is welcome to come and sit in with him free of charge Monday – Friday. Every day Derek talks to Lacy about the stories she likes to write and starts bringing in gold stars so he can give her one every time she finishes a new story.
No one ever fights in Derek’s class because Mr Hale’s disappointed face is devastating. No one ever likes to see Mr Hale sad, especially because he doesn’t have a mommy or daddy. They all found this out on Mr Hale’s birthday (because every single one of his classes are really nosy) but they guessed it was okay because he kept getting texts from someone called Mr Stiles all throughout the day and that seemed to make Mr Hale very happy and go all red in the face, like a tomato.
It’s not until Thanksgiving though the pack finds out what Derek does as a day job. A couple of the kids’ parents had to work on the holiday so Derek asked if he might throw them a little dinner. He got a big projector to watch movies on, a turkey and some mac and cheese for Jack who is a vegetarian and really loves pasta. The pack (or should we say Stiles and Erica) are really adamant they can’t have Thanksgiving dinner without Derek, so they track him down and once they do, well…Erica declares she is never going to let Derek live it down because he currently has paint on his face and is in the middle of telling some ridiculous story – complete with funny faces – when Erica and Stiles walk in.
Stiles, on the other hand, is trying not to freak the fuck out because he just managed to talk himself into finally trying to get over Derek yesterday. So much for that plan, especially when a little girl pulls on Derek’s hand and points at Stiles and whispers (see: stage whispers) it’s the really pretty boy from Derek’s phone he always talks about. “Are you dating Mr Stiles? Are you going to let us meet your boyfriend? Are you going to kiss him at Christmas???”
All the while Derek is blushing like mad and doing his best not to frown because he loves these kids and he really works hard at keeping a smile on his face for them.
(Not that he has to try hard for long. Not when Stiles comes over and takes Derek’s hand, waggling his eyebrows, says, “gee, I don’t know, if Mr Hale gives me some pie I could be persuaded to go out with him”. Naturally, the kids all offer Stiles their slice of pie on behalf of Mr Hale because they all want Mr Hale to be really, really happy and have tons of babies and puppies with Mr Stiles because then Mr Hale will be happy always and they’ll all get to hold the babies and pet the puppies and be happy always too.)
