I think there’s an argument to be made that protecting the children from relatively tame shadows of adults concepts actually makes things worse for them.
Like nothing is worse for me as an adult than the entirely unwarranted and unwanted sense of fear or scandalization from perfectly common stuff. And I don’t blame some wonderful TV show for using the word “fuck” or showing a nipple. My responses to those things are entirely constructed and cultural, and those shows are often doing me a kindness by giving me a context in which to safely re-examine them and my relationship to them.
And I just think actually there were a lot more opportunities to have a well adjusted outlook on life for the kids whose parents just told them what fuck meant.
Gonna get myself a fun little surprise I guess
Just a little cute idea I had ;)
I watched a YouTuber play this cuz I wasn’t paying 60 for that, but I really liked the cutscenes and the mini Marios to make a little something. I know that dk, Luigi, peach, and Pauline get their own toys in a later game but I like to make up in-game realities so what can I say
Also, WHEN IS NINTENDO GONNA RELEASE A LUIGI TOY FIGURE/PLUSH!? OR OF ANY OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS!?
Hedwig!! I love your fics so much, no one else does Sterek like you🤞
This is so random but I’ve been craving some outsider POV fics of you have any recommendations:)
P.S. I love Eros Mania Amor and it definitely inspired this request lol
Hi! Thank you so much! 💗 Here are some of my faves:
Oblivious Misadventures, and Other Such Tales by Little Spoon (JaydenNara)
Going to college was exciting and new, a chance for new friends and a fresh start, and the best part was, there was a supernatural fraternity on campus, meaning Scott finally had the freedom to be himself.
Then he met the resident human who came with a stalker alpha. What was the point of a supernatural fraternity if he still had to pretend to be human. And seriously, did Stiles ever fall asleep somewhere normal?
the demon slayer by the_problem_with_stardust
Jaz sighs, leaning back against her alpha. “They’re going to tear us apart.”
“No they won’t. Alpha Hale is an honorable man.” Maria presses a wry smile into her mate's neck. “It’s literally the only thing every other pack we’ve met with has agreed on.”
“But his Emissary…” Jaz swallows hard, trying not to think of the stories they’ve heard. Stories of a man who banished a legion of demons to hell, using only the force of his will.
A Spotter's Guide to the North American Werewolf Hunter by wearingthelilac
Dealing with a hunter roommate was not covered in the student handbook.
Or the one where Stiles' college roommate is a werewolf and thinks Stiles is a hunter.
Is This Seat Taken? Only By My Delusions by SylvieW
An unknown werewolf and his mate move to Beacon Hills and the McCall pack isn’t sure what to expect from them. They discover that while Derek isn’t a problem, Stiles might be.
Scotty didn't know by Smowkie
Scott was confused. They both smelled almost horny, except not really sexual, more like in awe, and they kept approaching each other, complimenting each other, and-. Derek lifted a hand, gently touched Stiles’ cheek.
“Do the eye thing again,” he murmured, and Stiles’ smile was huge as his eyes turned white.
“What the fuck,” Scott said faintly, but no one seemed to notice him.
The life of the irresistibly oblivious Stiles series by Nosiddam1
Just a series of cute fluffy one shots where Stiles is irresistible or oblivious or both and who only has eyes for Derek.
Fell In Love With A Boy by beekayem
When Sera moved to Beacon Hills she met the man of her dreams. Stiles Stilinski her next door neighbour with extraordinary cooking and baking skills and a smile that just melts her heart. He was perfect.
He was also married…to a man. Who may or may not be her boss.
Life was hard.
Too Little Too Late by SolariaLunar21
Danny's always had a secret crush on Stiles Stilinski but never hopes for more until he over-hears Scott and Stiles talking about the other boy coming out to his Dad as bi.

WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? GREATEST HITS of WESTERNS
A follow-up to this ask!! I apologize if any of this is unclear, I’ve never done a tutorial before XP ALSO - I do all of my stuff in PaintTool Sai, so some layer modes might not match for those of you with other programs!
1) First things first, I color everything in the dark blue in my color palette. This is the darkest color I’m going to use, everything is lighter from here.
2) In a new clipping layer above the base color, I use either an airbrush or a watercolor brush to add a bit of light to the lower half of the face. I use the lightest blue on the palette, and the layer mode is set to “Lumi & Shade”
3) Next I color the eyes and mouth if needed. I use the same light blue on a new layer. The opacity is set to around 80% and the layer mode is “Lumi & Shade” again.
4) On to the purple! New layer, also on “Lumi & Shade”, and I use an airbrush or watercolor tool. I basically do what I did for the lower face, except the purple is coming down from the top.
5) New layer! This time it will be set to “Overlay” and I use the pink! With a regular brush. When I am doing this, I want the pink to sort of swirl out from his forehead and travel in whatever direction his flames are angled. I then take a blur tool, and very lightly blur the ends, just to make it look a little neater.
6) New layer again! No layer mode this time (you can totally put it on a layer mode, I just prefer not to). I use the same brush tool as I did with the pink and do the same thing with the yellow. Swirl it up from the forehead and in the direction of the flames.
7) New layer! “Lumi & Shade” 80%(ish) Opacity! Same thing with the pink and yellow! There will be less room, so I also put a little streak down on his neck.
8) This step is optional, I just do it to give the color a little more vibrancy. I run each color over itself with a big airbrush in a new “Overlay” layer. It helps harmonize the colors in a way.
9) S P A R K L E S This is on a new layer, the mode is set to “Luminosity”. Then on a new “Lumi & Shade” layer, I airbrush some of the light blue over the eyes to make them glow.
10) LAST STEP! On a new clipping layer above the lines, I use a darker variant of each color to color the lineart. Above that, I make an “Overlay” layer and draw on the lenses of the glasses with white.
And that’s it! You now have a glittery star boy. I hope this was helpful! Honestly, this is just how I do it, you can do it any way you want. If there’s any confusion, I’ll do my best to clear it up :D
Pardon me as I enter my ATLA phase…
where the fuck did the phrase ‘fits like a glove’ come from. ive never worn a glove that fit perfectly in my entire life.
Yes geologists! Doing the important work 💖
