Something that burns me alive every time I hear it is “If you don’t have kids, who will take care of you when you’re old?” A child is not a retirement plan. A child is not an advanced directive or a nursing home or a home health aid. A child is not a reliable caregiver you have to groom into shape for 40 years. Hell, you might be a caregiver to your child for the rest of your life. Even if they’re born healthy and happy, they could get hit by a car and have massive brain damage at any point in their life. Do not have a kid solely so you can depend on them. That is a fucking evil reason to have kids.

you can be a fan of a show and point out its flaws

you can enjoy something and still criticize it

discussing issues which are necessary to be talked about is as much part of a fandom as anything else and has nothing to do with fighting

the idea of a fandom is that you are more than a passive consumer who accepts things mindlessly

idealizing things is unhealthy and gives you a skewed view of reality

It's incredible to me how we, as writers, can wear so many skins.

We write as genders, not our own, in worlds that don't exist.

We slip into the bodies of the powerful, the ruthless, the fearless, while sitting in a one-bedroom apartment, praying for stable WiFi.

Writers are shapeshifters. Necromancers. Magicians. We build universes out of coffee and anxiety.

Writers are incredible, and I will die on that hill.

I think my favorite Steter dynamic is a completely smitten and obsessed Peter (as per canon), he has wanted Stiles since the lacrosse field, and Stiles had him wrapped around his finger since then too. Peter wants, overwhelmingly so.

And a Stiles who, against his better judgment and despite how hard he tries not to, grows attached to Peter. He really doesn't want to, he's still wary about the whole murder spree and what Peter did to Scott and Lydia - even though Stiles may be the only one in the pack who fundamentally understands that Peter wasn't in his right mind, like, with Stiles' history with his mom he might be the only one who truly understands it, but that doesn't mean he easily forgives, he holds a deep grudge, just like Peter can.

It'd be so easy to see the villain, the deliberately unhelpful asshole. But then Peter is being helpful and Peter understands where Stiles is going with his thoughts and he keeps up with Stiles and he meets him barb for barb and fuck, Stiles got attached. Fuck.

And a Peter who is so busy trying to prove himself to Stiles, and only Stiles. He has no intentions of making anything up to anyone, not even Derek, the bad blood is mutual. But Stiles? He wants Stiles and to have him, he needs to prove his usefulness, he needs to prove that he is no longer the feral beast, he needs to prove that he is worthy of that unwavering, fierce loyalty.

And he's so busy trying to prove that, he doesn't even notice when he has it.
