Snowflake as Susie Campbell and Billie as Twisted Alice in "Brain and the ink machine"🖤💚🤍

Don’t be surprised that Snowflake and Billie look like twins in these arts, I was just too lazy to change my hairstyle when I drew Billie. :'3

From the story "Brain and the Ink Machine" it is said that Snowflake Campbell was a beautiful woman who had a beautiful voice and voiced the character Julia Angel (Julia Brain as Alice Angel). She was very much in love with Larry Lawrence. One day in the studio, when she found out that Julia Pendle (Julia Brain (in the SCP version) as Allison Connor) would be voicing Julia Angel, she was very offended. Snowflake accidentally fell into the ink machine and after a while became a searcher. The studio employees thought that she had gone missing. After 8 years, Snowflake turned from a seeker into Julia Angel. But when she encountered Ink Brain, his touch caused her to turn into Twisted Billie. Because of this, she decided to become beautiful after meeting the demon in only one way. And this is to kill innocent creatures by taking their organs. But since she couldn't find one, she had to create clones of Pinky and the Warner Gang (Yakko, Wakko and Dot as the Butcher Gang). Twisted Billie, after transforming and trying to become beautiful, began to live on floor called 9. One day, when Steven Stein had not yet returned to the studio, she calmly sang her song "Lonely Angel" on her floor, she heard someone say her name when she was a human. She looked back and saw that it was her lover who was speaking. She recognized his voice, but could not believe that he had changed. She asked him if he was really Larry Lawrence, and he answered yes. She asked him how he became like this. He replied that the reason for his transformation was that he had an unhealthy addiction to ink after an accident in the sheet music closet where he was covered in ink from head to foot and stole bottles of ink and drank them until he became a monster in 2 months. Larry also said that when he heard her singing, he thought that this voice was so divine and familiar and the song too, and that after thoughts he decided to run there. Twisted Billie asked him if they could start a new life, but he politely refused and said that he must find a "sheep" for his Lord, who will help him get rid of the ink "prison". Then, when Steven Stein meets her, Twisted Billie gives him all sorts of tasks, and after that, when she sends him and Pinky home, she suddenly changes her mind and shouts that she needs Pinky and that he is ideal. When the elevator crashes down one of the floors, Pinky tries to wake up Steven, who is unconscious. But Twisted Billie sneaks up to Pinky and grabs him to her. She disfigures Pinky turning him into Brute Pinky (Pinky as Brute Boris). After Steven defeats him, Twisted Billie screams and says why Steven can't just die. She runs towards him and when she tries to kill him, she immediately dies and falls to the floor. And no one sees her anymore. And the cause of her death was Julia Pendle's machete.

🍬Allison Puffs for Toddlers🍬

Cute low afro puffs--now for you little ‘uns!

There are two variations of this hairstyle: One with large puffs and the other with smaller puffs. You can have both in game at the same time.

Both:

For Toddler only

Feminine Fashion choice, but for boys, too

Comes in 9 Maxis natural swatches

Semi-Hat-compatible; Puffs may clip with some hats

Disabled for Random

Base Game-compatible

⚠Known Issues: On the big puffs, clipping between the ear and the puffs occur. I tried to minimize it as much as I can before the puffs became detached from the rest of the hair XD.

some thoughts i have on the s2 promo stills

I think Ben is appearing either in a dream or to someone other than Klaus. The reason I believe this is the color composition for the shot and the framing. The Umbrella Academy is a dark show. Literally. And the season two promo pictures are no different from season one. Why the sudden departure from this? Promotional photos directly from the source (i.e. the production department) usually are not put through filters so this is how it will be shown in the show. So why the brightness? I think it’s either a dream or revelation (you know the cheesy trope where the sunlight streams in and someone finally pieces things together) or maybe it’s a vision that someone has of Ben. Contenders for this? No idea. But judging from the body that’s strung up on the ceiling (yeah, I didn’t forget that part) it could be Vanya. Or I could be totally wrong. Either way, the body does hint towards Klaus’ telekinesis, something he has in the comics that we have yet to see in the show (besides the suitcase debacle).

We know that Five is the last to be sent to the 60′s so if he’s stuck in a new time with no one around what does he do? Find a mannequin and make a new friend (or something more). Maybe what we are seeing is him about to home-wreck this bitch and steal little miss blue-dress here. Or maybe he’s looking back at a different character... the villains of this season perhaps? Or maybe The Handler makes a comeback? Either way, he looks cautious and if he is looking at someone less than savory then the set up we see could be set up to mock him rather than a harmless department store display.

The paper reads: “S.J.C.C. asks... Have you experienced DISCRIMINATION by your employeer?” Not much comes up in Google for a look into who S.J.C.C. could be but I personally am SYKED to see The Umbrella Academy hopefully tackle race issues. Especially at this time in the world, it could be what people need. Also a new hairstyle for Allison which I love. I personally hope Allison is thriving but this is the 60′s and even though The Civil Rights Act was signed in ‘64, there was no across-the-board stop of segregation at once. I hope for her sake she stays safe.

Again, we know that Five is the last one to arrive. Perhaps he gathers them all to this place to tell them about the newest apocalyptic event about to take place. But a barn? Not sure why. Everyone else is dressed in back, however, even Klaus which is very telling that something is wrong. Allison has lost the hair bump (she was probably just wearing it to fit in). Luther has a beard which is very telling as well because the only other time that we have seen him with one is when he woke up from his surgery (supposedly after a long period of time) so if it was in his control he would shave it off to be the good little soldier that dad made him. Maybe being stranded in Texas in the 60′s made him depressed like we saw towards the end of season one or maybe he just wants to live a little. Diego’s outfit looks very similar to his vigilante outfit in season one but with what looks like either shoulder pads or a hoodie. This could be one of two things: he is still a vigilante using his powers for good, or he works a job like construction or something similar judging by the cross-chest harness. And Vanya. Look’s like she’s wearing a suit jacket. Peak gay. No further comment.

GOOD GOD!!! What to say, what to say. As it’s been pointed out already by many other users, Ben. Is. Holding. Keys. That means he is corporeal and has a physical body. Whether this is for a short period of time like when he punches Klaus in season one or if this marks the beginning of a new era of Ben-filled The Umbrella Academy is unknown. Klaus is a fashion icon. That much we been knew. Although, his beard is longer than the promo pictures despite being in the same outfit. Longer than the picture above too. I’m excited for this scene regardless of what it is about, but if I had to guess: Klaus is motioning for Ben to give the keys to him. The car broke down. Klaus gets out and tries to fix it by popping the hood, only he knows nothing about cars. He gets angry and throws the keys. Ben catches them. Klaus is then irritated and asks for them back. That’s just my take. Klaus looks like he’s smiling but it could be the natural face a person makes when they are squinting from the sun (this is Texas and those are sunglasses (also water is wet)).

#justgirlythings. Vanya is the only one who seems uncomfortable, also where are Klaus’s shoes? If you look in the background it appears this isn’t a salon as you would guess on the first look but rather someone’s house. Maybe this is a way to time travel without Five? Or some other sci-fi device like the shoot that Cha-Cha and Hazel used in season one to get their orders. Either way, there is a lot more going on here than we know from first looking and I wouldn’t put it past anyone that this is an important still to remember and keep in mind.

Iron Man references aside (thank you Justin Min), look at her entire body posture and language. Clenched jaw, clenched fists, forehead straining, eyes closed but not clenched like the others, neck straining. Vanya appears to be in the middle of nowhere so maybe she’s testing her powers? Last time we saw her testing her powers it was in the middle of the woods with Leonard so maybe this will be a good parallel. What else to do in the 60′s when you’re stranded than to try out your superpowers that you just remembered a few days ago?

Vanya! Is! Happy! She is definitely smiling and looks genuinely more happy than she did with Leonard in any event. The blonde woman is Marin Ireland who plays a character “Sissy”. Variety and Netflix have stated that Sissy is "a fearless, no-nonsense mom from Texas who married young for all the wrong reasons". Maybe, and I’m just spit-balling here, she married young because of internalized and outward homophobia that is probably rampant in the 60′s and in Texas. She meets Vanya and the two begin a relationship. Friends? Lovers? More? Vanya’s right hand is either on a gear shift (manual transmission i.e. stick shift cars were much more common in the 60′s than now) or on Sissy’s knee. I like the idea of her resting her hand on Sissy’s thigh and smiling, maybe driving off on a new life together.

Like. The Gang’s all here, Scoob. Even Ben! Allison is talking, it seems so to have Ben in the shot is odd. Usually Ben only appears when Klaus is the main character of the shot or the scene since he can only see him. Except, maybe everyone can see him!! Klaus can summon Ben as seen in the season one finale so maybe he was able to do it for a longer amount of time. I personally really hope that we see more of Ben (which the stills lead me to believe) and that they will develop not only his character and backstory more but his powers as well. His power rivals only Vanya’s is sheer amount of destruction it can cause. The room, however, where they all are looks unassuming. It could be where Five has taken up a residence, could be a house of one of the other siblings (we know that some of them did in fact settle down and start lives in Texas), or maybe it’s just a safe place to meet as a team. Either way I am psyched!

It’s safe to assume that these are the assassins. Whether they are with the organization that The Handler was with is unclear. What is clear is that I get Stranger Things vibes from these guys. It might be the white hair and dark, cloudy road. Either way, these guys are played by Tom Sinclair, Kris Holden-Ried, and Jason Bryden left to right and they play Oscar, Axel, and Otto respectively.

Diego, Diego, Diego. My son. Disregarding the long hair and beard completely because I refuse to acknowledge it at this point, here is my interpretation of the scene. This is a flashback in the same fashion that we had a Diego flashback in episode three of season one. That flashback had Grace helping Diego through a stutter and then in one camera motion showed current-day Diego sitting on his old bed. This could be the same kind of thing, with current-day Diego sitting where he past self was and watching a scene unfold around him. Why else would he be in his uniform? How could it fit? How could he be back in the mansion?

-----------

That’s all I have to say about it for now but my ask box is OPEN for theories, possible explanations, or hypotheses on season two or any of the promotional stills. Time travel is messy. Let’s see what happens on July 31st.

Merry Christmas, @moretomhardy!

Read on AO3

******

so show me (i'll show you)

Chapter 1

Stiles lets himself into the old, burned-out husk of the Hale house that Derek still refuses to tear down now that he has acquired legal ownership of the property. He doesn't care if he’s going to interrupt something or not. He and Derek are going to have words.

“Derek!”

There is no verbal answer but when Stiles' eyes roam over the staircase again, Derek is standing there, barefoot.

"Ugh, man, I know werewolves are impervious to most diseases, but for my peace of mind, put on some shoes when you climb that death contraption. I don't even want to think about how quickly I'd contract tetanus if I ever set a bare foot on those stairs," Stiles groans.

Derek huffs out what could almost be accepted as an amused grunt if one was listening closely enough. Stiles crosses his arms over his chest and scowls at the older man instead of smiling stupidly at him like he kind of wants to every time he catches a glimpse of Derek's ridiculously gorgeous face.

The only response Derek has for that is to copy Stiles by also crossing his arms over his chest and scowling back at him. Stiles concedes defeat to their scowling contest after a few more seconds have passed, sighing as he runs a hand over the hair that is beginning to grow out from his signature buzzcut. Lydia practically begged him to stop scalping himself and let his hair breathe so it could grow into a hairstyle she, Erica, and Allison are all certain will suit him nicely. Stiles honestly doesn't care one way or the other about the state of his hair but after Jackson bribed him with money, it seems that Stiles is now two hundred dollars richer and has thicker hair than before.

"Did you come here for a reason?" Derek asks then sniffs the air, his face twisting in confusion as he opens his mouth to speak again.

"How do you deal with so many teenager werewolves vying for your attention?" Stiles blurts out before Derek can ask about his scent.

Derek's brows furrow together in confusion. "I'm sorry?"

Stiles sighs, rubbing his hand over his face. "What I mean is, you're the alpha."

"Yes, Stiles. I am the alpha. I'm glad you can state the obvious," Derek snorts.

"Shut up, let me finish talking first." Stiles glowers at him.

Derek glares at him, breathing deeply through his nose as his stance stiffens. His face twitches with the irritation Stiles knows he evokes within the older man whenever they exchange more than three words between them. He grins, despite himself, glad to know that he can always count on Derek to act as he normally does when it concerns Stiles. Unlike some unruly puppies who devotedly follow after Derek for some strange season.

(Well, not that strange. Stiles knows that he is half the reason the pack is the way it is now, but his point still stands.)

"You're the alpha, so the puppies hang around you a lot. They treat you a certain way and stick to that because you're their alpha. Right?" Stiles manages to explain himself coherently, hoping that what makes sense to him also makes sense to Derek right now.

Puppies, Derek mouths to himself with wry amusement before he meets Stiles' gaze and nods his head.

"Right, so, if your puppies started acting differently, you could just make them act like they used to before," Stiles continues.

"Wrong," Derek cuts in just as Stiles is starting to pick up steam. "It would be wrong to force my betas to act a certain way. I'd be a bad alpha if I did that."

Stiles stares at him for a few seconds, mouth agape, before he groans and rubs both his hands over his face in frustration. "Why do you have to have such great morals? Why can't you be like Peter who gives answers for a price or Deaton who never gives a straight one?"

Derek smirks at him, letting his arms fall from his chest so they are by his sides instead. "Why are you asking me about this?"

"Can you teach me how to handle your werewolves invading so much of my privacy recently?" Stiles rushes to say, hoping that his puppy dog eyes work half as well as Scott's seem to do whenever he directs them at anybody, including Derek.

"What do you mean?" Derek asks hesitantly, something in his expression telling Stiles that he almost doesn't want to know the answer.

Stiles sighs. "Your puppies keep crawling into my bed at night, taking my clothes and wearing them even if they don't fit. They keep laying themselves all over me whenever they get the chance too. And, normally, I wouldn't object to so many attractive people constantly touching me, but Jackson shoved his face into my neck the other day and just breathed there for two minutes straight. He wouldn't let me move or step away and I've had the heebie-jeebies ever since, dude!"

"Don't call me dude," Derek says reflexively. "Have they really been doing that?"

"Oh, god. You don't even know!" Stiles complains. "Scott keeps making fun of me because I supposedly reek of pack. I don't smell like me anymore, according to him, which makes it hard to track me down since I smell like a bunch of different hormonal teenagers who follow me around at school, are always over at my house, and lay claim to my own bed often enough that I always find myself on my bedroom floor come morning. Derek, please tell me how you deal with them."

"This at least explains why I couldn't smell you when you drove up. I only knew it was you because your Jeep's engine is so recognizable." Derek stares at him, his facing smoothing out and devoid of any telling emotions. "I thought you liked having so many people over at your place though? You said the pack was welcome any time."

"I did! But then-" Stiles pauses, suddenly suspicious as his eyes flicker back towards Derek's closed-off expression. "Hey, I never said I liked having company over, so how do you know that?"

Derek only shrugs, avoiding his gaze. "Your scent. Whenever the pack is over, you smell happy."

"That is so weird, man. I don't think you even realize how creepy that sounds," Stiles laughs.

"Whatever," Derek says with a roll of his eyes. "You want the pack to back off? Then tell them."

Stiles stomps his foot, fed up with how nonchalantly Derek is taking all of this. "I have! They didn't listen!"

Derek sits down on the steps and leans back so he's lying across five of them. "You have to be firm with them. Wolves respond to you when you command their respect. Right now, they're walking all over you because you let them. I know you're not all flowers and rainbows, I've seen you in a fight, Stiles. Use some of that energy to get your point across with them."

"So your advice is for me to tell them no in a 'Big Boy' voice?" Stiles asks, not believing that his issues with the pack can be solved so easily.

"Be firm. Leave no room for any arguments," Derek says, completely ignoring Stiles' superpower: sarcasm.

Stiles groans. "Why can't you just tell them to leave me alone? You're the alpha!"

Derek rolls his eyes again. "That wouldn't solve anything. The pack would still walk all over you because you're letting your alpha handle your problems instead of doing it yourself. That makes you look weak."

Stiles glowers at him, sniffing his nose in disdain when Derek gets a thoughtful look on his face and tilts his head to the side. He has to fight the urge to laugh, suddenly overcome with how similar to a dog Derek looks like now.

"You do know why they've been acting differently with you, right?" Derek asks while peering at him.

"Of course, I do," Stiles huffs.

Derek laughs then. Honest to god laughs, the sound breathy and filled with enough amusement to build a park. Stiles has to force himself not to gawk because he will not be the asshole that makes Derek Hale feel subconscious for doing something as normal as laughing. The man has been through hell and Stiles knows that he is generally just an all-around bastard almost all of the time, but he's done making things harder on Derek. Derek deserves a break, no matter how hard he tries to self-sabotage himself.

"So, you don't know why the pack suddenly started crowding you and when they didn't listen to you the one time you asked them nicely to give you some space, you decided to come to your alpha and have me squash the problem for you without knowing why?" Derek chuckles, rubbing a hand over his chin as his laughter dies a slow death. "That doesn't sound like you, Stiles."

Stiles rolls his eyes. "Are you going to tell me why or you going to waste my time with more dog training nonsense?"

Derek's expression hardens instantly. "We are your pack, Stiles. Not dogs. I don't care if you call my betas puppies, but don't treat us like we're animals."

"You know that I would never do that," Stiles shoots back. "I know you guys aren't dogs! I'm just saying that your advice sounds a lot like the police dog trainer's when they bring in new K-9s."

"I'm going to ignore that," Derek mutters. "Now, as for why the pack has been acting like that with you. Simply put: they see you as the weakest member of the pack. It's why they circle around you, why they scent you and spread your scent amongst themselves. They're camouflaging you."

Out of all the possible reasons Stiles thought up of in his head for why the pack thought it was open season on Make Stiles Uncomfortable, he didn't expect this to be what Derek would tell him.

"You're joking," Stiles sputters. "Please, tell me you're joking."

Derek shakes his head. "They're doing all of this because they care about you and want to keep you safe. Their instincts demand it of them and so they have to comply. The only way they'll stop is when you stop rolling over and show your belly to them."

Stiles sighs. "Ugh. How am I supposed to put my foot down now after hearing all that?"

"This is exactly why they're closing ranks around you, you know. You can't keep being a pushover."

"Fine. I get it, already," Stiles grumbles. "Be strict, hold my ground with them. That all?"

Derek nods, relaxed now. "If they don't stop, even after you confront them, then I'll step in and handle the issue as the alpha. Just let me know how it goes."

"Yeah, yeah." Stiles waves his hand before he sticks it awkwardly into his pocket as an idea strikes him. "Hey, have you ate yet?"

"Not yet," Derek says, suddenly cautious.

Stiles grins, looking up to meet his gaze. "Great 'cause I'm taking you to the diner downtown. My treat. Hurry up and get dressed."

Derek sighs and stands, apparently willing to go along with Stiles' attempt of returning the favor as long as he gets free food out of it. Stiles watches him walk back upstairs, feeling jittery now that he is no longer in the older werewolf's presence.

"I'll be in my Jeep, waiting," Stiles speaks softly into the stale air of the burned-out home his alpha won't let go of, knowing that Derek can hear him well enough, then turns on his heel and walks outside.

Stella and the Wolf - Chapter 12

You can read it here on AO3 or find the Tumblr Chapter Index here.

The morning of the dance dawns gray and overcast. Stiles doesn’t give a fuck, to be honest, but he does spare a thought for Lydia and what rain does to her hair. He knows she’ll be glowering at weather like this for the dance.

Stiles showers quickly. Stella bangs on the door halfway through, because of course she has to use the bathroom now, and of course she can’t use the one downstairs. Stiles ignores her until she finally tromps away. Stiles climbs out of the shower and then shaves, not sure if he really has to or not, and inspects his face in the mirror. He has dark circles under his eyes, and water beading on the prickles of his hair. Maybe it’s time to grow the buzzcut out? Like, if he survives Peter Hale and the Argents and the absolute apocalypse that is those two forces colliding, maybe that’s something he’ll do. Maybe he should try being a normal teenager with normal teenage worries for a while. Maybe he and Lydia can bond over hair.

Stiles and his reflection regard one another dubiously for a moment, and then he scrubs his towel over his head and turns away from the mirror.

As much as he tries to distract himself with thoughts of the dance, or of potential new hairstyles, or of things that don’t really matter, Stiles finds himself thinking of Derek. Worrying about him. And as much as he tries to summon up a low burn of anger—Derek still hasn’t answered his texts! What an asshole!—he can’t help but worry that for some reason Derek can’t answer him.

And can’t is a much more terrifying word than won’t.

Stiles dresses and heads downstairs to discover that Dad has already gone to work. Stiles isn’t entirely sure he stayed home for more than a few hours last night. Stiles and Stella eat cereal for breakfast and leave the dishes in the sink.

Stiles beats the school traffic to Stella’s school, but catches it at the high school. Nothing says chaos like a few hundred high school kids who haven’t figured out how to park yet. Stiles drums his fingers against the steering wheel of the Jeep while he waits for the line of traffic to move forward so he can snag a parking spot.

He catches a glimpse of Scott on his dirt bike as he parks, and hurries through the parking lot to catch him before he gets to the entrance of the school.

“Scott! Scotty!”

Scott turns and waits.

Stiles reaches him, and opens his mouth, but before he can spill out what happened last night, first at the hospital and then outside Deaton’s, Scott beats him to the punch.

“Dude!” Scott’s eyes are wide. “You won’t believe what happened last night!”

“What?”

“I saved Jackson from Derek Hale!”

Wait… what?

Because that doesn’t compute at all.

“What do you mean you saved Jackson from Derek?” Stiles asks, his forehead creasing. “What’s Jackson go to do with anything anyway?”

“Dude, Jackson’s figured it out!” Scott stares at him for a moment, and then lowers his voice. “The whole werewolf thing.”

“Yeah, I get it. How the fuck did Jackson figure it out?” It’s a little annoying actually, since Stiles likes to pretend that Jackson is a total airhead. It’s only fair, since he looks like a male model. Nobody deserves to be rich and pretty and smart. Especially not a dick like Jackson. “Jackson?”

“I have no idea, man.”

Stiles might. “Did you do an awesome back flip during practice or something?”

“No!” Scott denial rings hollow, and he flushes. “Well, not a back flip! Anyway, suddenly getting good a lacrosse isn’t a decent reason to jump straight to werewolves.”

It’s a fair point, Stiles guesses, except Jackson didn’t jump straight there, did he? This time last week he’d accused Scott of being on steroids.

“So what happened last night?” Stiles asks. “With Derek?”

“I followed Jackson out to the old Hale house,” Scott says. “Dude, he wants the bite!”

“Derek can’t give him the bite.”

“Yeah, but Jackson doesn’t know that.” Scott draws them out of the way of a gaggle of approaching girls. “Anyway, I wouldn’t let him go in the house, and me and Derek fought, and then someone was shooting at us!”

“What?” Stiles feels a thread of panic tighten in his chest. “What time did all this happen?”

“I dunno. About six? Six-thirty?”

Right about the time that Stiles and Stella were Googling weird symbols, and Derek wasn’t answering his phone.

Stiles’s mouth feels dry suddenly. “Is Derek okay?”

“I think so,” Scott says, wrinkling his nose a little. He shrugs. “I guess.”

Shrugs, like it doesn’t matter, and Stiles hates him a little bit for that. Because Derek isn’t the bad guy, whatever Scott thinks. Derek is a victim in all this too, and he wishes Scott could that.

“So who was shooting at you?” he asks.

“I didn’t see them,” Scott says. “Hunters, I guess.”

Stiles shivers and thinks of the Kate Argent.

“Anyway, Derek pushed me and Jackson one way, and took off in the other direction. I think the hunters followed him?”

“Like, on purpose?”

Scott gives him a strange look. “Well, yeah. They’re hunters.”

“No, I mean did Derek lead them off on purpose?”

The expression on Scott’s face tells Stiles this is the first time he’s considered it. And then he shrugs again. “I don’t know. Maybe.”

Stiles scrubs a hand over his head. “Was Peter with him?”

“Who?”

“Peter Hale, his uncle,” Stiles says. “The Alpha.”

Scott’s jaw drops. “Dude, you know who the Alpha is?”

“Yeah.” Stiles waves away any potential follow-up questions. Like, how, and when did you find out, and why didn’t you tell me? It’s been less than a day since he spoke to Scott, and it already feels like they’ve moved a million miles in opposite directions.

Last night Stiles thought this whole thing was an avalanche, and he’s right.

It’s picking up speed now, isn’t it?

He presses on. “So was Peter there?”

“I didn’t see him if he was. But Derek wouldn’t let Jackson in the house.”

Peter must have been there, Stiles thinks. And Derek was keeping Jackson away from him so he couldn’t turn him. It might have been a more effective strategy to let them meet, honestly, because who would want a douchebag like Jackson in their pack?

Even Peter Hale can’t be that crazy.

Stiles nods, and tries to focus. “Why didn’t you call me last night?” he asks, pushing down the guilt that asks him the same question.

Why didn’t he call Scott after he found out who the Alpha was?

After he and Stella were threatened by Kate Argent?

It just hadn’t occurred to him, and Stiles doesn’t want to look at it too closely because he’s afraid of what that means. They’ve been friends forever, through everything. There wasn’t supposed to be anything that could drive a wedge between them.

And maybe there isn’t.

Maybe they just need to catch their breath and regroup, right?

“I lost my phone,” Scott tells him. “This is going to sound really weird, but I know I had it in my pocket when the shooting started, then Derek pushed me, and then I didn’t have it anymore. Dude, I think Derek Hale stole my phone!”

What?

Although it’s not the weirdest thing he’s ever heard, is it? Maybe kleptomania is a side effect of lycanthropy. Because why the fuck not? Clearly the universe decided months ago that it didn’t have to make sense anymore.

“Sorry,” Scott says. “I would have called you, bro, if I could have.”

“It’s okay,” Stiles says, wishing he could say the same.

And then the bell rings, and they have to head inside before they’re late for homeroom.

***

Third period English and it hits him, and Stiles rolls his eyes at how long it took him.

Derek has lost his phone.

That’s why he stole Scott’s, and that’s why he couldn’t answer Stiles.

He sends a text to Scott’s number: D? Call me.

He keeps his phone underneath his textbook so he can check to see if Derek answers.

He doesn’t.

***

After school Stiles collects Stella, and hurries home to get ready for the dance. He doesn’t really want to go—mostly because he hasn’t got a date and he’ll look like even more of a loser than ever—but tonight might be a good chance to catch Allison and see if she knows what the fuck her crazy aunt is up to. As long as he can figure out a way to ask without sounding too suspicious.

He drops Stella off at the McCall house, collects Scott, and they head for the school.

He wonders if Scott feels as stupid wearing a suit as he does, but he doesn’t ask. Scott looks way too excited to be meeting up with Allison at the dance, even though he’s not supposed to be going because he’s failing some classes.

Typical. Stiles would actually rather stay home and study, while Scott’s busting his ass to break the rules to go. Clearly they should have figured out some sort of alien body swap arrangement for the night.

The dance is exactly what Stiles thought it would be: awful music, warm punch, and startling amounts of streamers and balloons.

It’s not his scene at all.

Lydia looks gorgeous, of course, and she even manages a frosty smile when Stiles stammers that out when they cross paths at the refreshments table. Then Jackson looms in and escorts her away, looking at Stiles like he’s something he stepped in.

Scott spends most of the evening wither furtively dancing with Allison, or hiding from Finstock and the other teachers.

Someone inevitably spikes the punch.

Stiles sits on the bleachers for a while, trying to look like he’s enjoying himself.

He’s not, and he’s pretty sure it shows.

In the middle of a schmaltzy love ballad, his gaze catches on Lydia as she walks towards the exit. Her silver dress is shining under the lights, and why isn’t she dancing with Jackson?

“Jackson?”

Stiles can’t hear her calling him over the music, but he sees her mouth his name.

Then, looking pissed, she strides outside.

Into the night.

Alone.

And no. Stiles can’t just let her do that. Not when he knows what’s out there.

Stiles pushes through the crowd of people dancing to follow her.

***

“Lydia! Lydia!”

There’s mist laying on the lacrosse field when Stiles her.

She’s standing there, arms hugging herself, staring at the man crossing the field towards them. The mist parts in front of him, and his long jacket billows out behind.

It’s Peter Hale.

It’s the Alpha.

He stands in front of them, his fingers extending into claws.

“I am so very tired,” he says, his lip curling to show his fangs, “of redheads who stink of magic.”

What?

Stiles grabs Lydia by the wrist and tugs her behind him. Her can hear her breath, fast and ragged, and her fingers clench into a fist in the back of his jacket.

“Where’s Derek?” Stiles demands, his voice cracking.

“I was going to ask you the exact same thing.” Peter tilts his head on an angle. “You’ll help me find him, won’t you, Stiles?”

“Yes,” Stiles says, his heart pounding fast. “If you let Lydia go back inside, I’ll help you find him. I think I know how.”

Peter Hale’s mouth curls into a smile. “Clever boy.”

Stiles lets go of Lydia’s wrist, and she runs.

She’s clever too.

Home Life During Childhood — it was good, her parents have a bit of a strained relationship, but overall kept up appearances around Lady, and she was definitely spoiled.

But, she definitely loves her Southern food. Exercise Habits — Does yoga. Goes for walks every morning. Is pretty in-shape. I give her a 6/10. Emotional Stability — Pretty good. She does the whole conceal, don’t feel thing. But she also tries to just push through things. Body Temperature — Runs a little hot.

Drug Use — None, usually. Has smoked pot before. Has done Molly. Alcohol Use — Binge drinks, but not often.

Your Character’s Character:

Bad Habits — doesn’t speak up for herself, timid, follower, too curious Good Habits — very courteous, also curious, kind, warm Best Characteristic — her curiosity Worst Characteristic — letting herself get pushed around Worst Memory — her break up with her girlfriend, Constance, and her boyfriend, Don--her photos getting leaked. Best Memory — getting inducted into Phi Mu Proud of — her status in Phi Mu Embarrassed by — her leaked nudes, her weight, the fact that she’s adopted. Driving Style — excellent driver, usually the DD for her friends, has a clean record. Strong Points — loyal, kind Temperament — mild, so mild, the most mild, even if she gets bothered, it is hard to annoy her. Attitude — very southern and charming, of course. Weakness — doing whatever people say Fears — that people won’t like her for who she is Phobias — doesn’t like the dark, or snakes, or spiders Secrets — she’s adopted, she is still in love with Don, she actually doesn’t want to be such a Good Girl, is resentful of her brother Regrets — breaking up with Constance/Don, Feels Vulnerable When — people talk about her weight or appearance or what she’s eating, etc, etc Pet Peeves — people who are rude Conflicts — wanting to break out and be rebellious v being afraid Motivation — to prove herself Short Term Goals and Hopes — explore Swynlake and all it has to offer Long Term Goals and Hopes — get married, settle down, start a life Sexuality — bisexual (closeted) Day or Night Person — day person, definitely Introvert or Extrovert — introverted, for sure Optimist or Pessimist — a little bit of both? I’d say more of an optimist for others, pessimist for herself

Likes and Styles:

Music — Country, of course! Loves Dixie Chicks, Lady Antebellum, Garth Brooks, Dierks Bentley. Both the more recent stuff and oldies. Though, she also loves some good pop music and more folky stuff too. She finds rap to be offensive and too “urban” and can’t understand why anyone would listen to something like that. Same with heavier stuff like rock’n’roll or screamo, etc, etc. Anything that shocks or offends is definitely not Lady’s cup of tea. She will go out of the way to listen to the clean versions of songs and I think that says a lot about her. Books — Gone with the Wind is her favorite. Her favourite book as a child was “Because of Winn-Dixie”; A Streetcar Named Desire, loves Pat Conroy and Nicholas Sparks. Also enjoys some Flannery O’Connor. Also enjoys In Cold Blood. Magazines — Oprah’s Magazine, The New Yorker, InStyle, Vogue, Country Living, Vanity Fair, The Weekly Standard, The American Conservative--she has a bit of a magazine addiction. Foods — Lady is very conscious about what she puts in her body. She’s certainly not vegetarian or a health nut, but she tries to balance herself. Though, that is hard to do with all the delicious Southern food. She loves ribs and barbecue and coleslaw and baked beans. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Chicken wings. And she absolutely adores sweets! She loves lemon drops and keeps boxes on her pretty much all the time. Drinks — Sweet tea, of course! Lady’s blood, she’s pretty sure, is sweet tea at this point. Chick-fil-a is the second best sweet tea to the one she makes at home and she used to go and get one almost every day. She was addicted. She’s gonna hate not having Chick-fil-a in Swynlake, or England really at all. Animals — Lady isn’t too much a fan of animals. She likes cute ones--dogs and cats and horses, but hates animals like rats/mice or possums. She believes they’re vermin that should be killed and dealt with. Hates snakes. Hates raccoons. Really she dislikes more animals than she likes probably. Sports — road horses, did softball when younger. Social Issues — right-leaning, is pro-life, things the gays shouldn’t get married (at least, outwardly, she’s still accepting that part of herself), is kind of afraid of people who seem “middle eastern” or uh like y’know just kind of in general American racist. You know. (Which is ironic bc she’s Mexican/Kuwaiti.) Favorite Saying — “After all, tomorrow is another day.” -- Scarlett O’Hara Color — Bright colors! Pinks and blues and reds and yellows--as long as it is bright! She also loves pastels, they are classic when it comes to fashion. Baby blues and powder pinks. She wears a lot of more neutral clothing too, but it is bright colors that make her the happiest and she will almost never be caught in something like black! Clothing — Her favorite stuff is her white dress for most Phi Mu events. Also loves her straw hats. Definitely a fan of her cowboy boots. She tends to dress modern/Southern. Owns way too much Lilly Pulitzer, probably. Jewelry — Her necklace of pearls is her favorite and she wears them to all special occasions. She wears jewelry to accessorize otherwise, but it’s usually costume jewelry. Websites — tumblr, instagram are her big ones TV Shows — Heartland, Pretty Little Liars, Gilmore Girls, Golden Girls, Gossip Girl (do you see the pattern here?) Movies — Gone with the Wind, of course, is a Southern classic. She also loves Under the Tuscan Sun. All Nicholas Sparks movies. Secret Life of Bees. Forrest Gump. Also loves musicals--loved La La Land when it came out and loves Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, etc. Not too sure about Hamilton. Some of the songs are good, but she doesn’t understand the hype. Greatest Want — to fit in somewhere Greatest Need — to accept herself

Where and How Does Your Character Live Now:

Home — She lives with her Aunt Sarah. She hates it. Household furnishings — Pretty modern. Nothing special. Favorite Possession — Her journals. Most Cherished Possession — Her pearls, they were her great grandmother’s. (Her older cousin Sarah Beth was pissed that Lady got them and she didn’t.) Neighborhood — Tortuga Place. Town or City Name — Swynlake Married Before — No. Significant Other Before — Patrick Banks, Constance Gutting, Don Barker Children — None Relationship with Family — A little strained, atm, but overall pretty good. Car — She had a black Chevy Sonic (2015) but not anymore. Career — Journalist for the Swynlake Squire. Dream Career — Journalist for Vogue or InStyle Dream Life — Married, writing a fashion blog, two kids, a dog. Love Life — Pretty nonexistent. Talents or Skills — Excellent writer, very organized, very good at taking care of people. Intelligence Level — Quite smart, rather intelligent. Finances — Cut off, currently. Makes a meager wage at the Squire.

We Tried Out Pinterest Hair Tutorials And This Is What Happened

New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/we-tried-out-pinterest-hair-tutorials-and-this-is-what-happened/

We Tried Out Pinterest Hair Tutorials And This Is What Happened

Looks like things are about to get Pinteresting.

View this image ›

Nathan W. Pyle for BuzzFeed / Macey J. Foronda for BuzzFeed

2. With Pinterest being one of the most popular beauty resources, we got five women with different hair types to try out the most popular DIY hairstyles.

Thinkstock

Macey J. Foronda for BuzzFeed

Allison: I’m Jewish so I got that Jew hair: longish, darkish, curlyish, frizzyish.

Kirsten: I have short, thick, wavy hair. I’ve never been very into doing my hair, so this is going to be interesting for me. I’ll be excited if I can find some quick, easy hairstyles.

Candace: Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve been “blessed” with more hair than I can handle. It always air-dries into a a grown-ass Simba mane.

Kristin: I have long, fine, curly hair. If it’s too long I look like a cocker spaniel; if it’s too short, it frizzes up and I look like a clown. I am bad at Pinterest, so I do not have high hopes for this.

Sheridan: Well, I’m black. But really, I like to describe my hair as “What the fuck are you?” It does this weird curly-wavy-straight thing and there’s a reason why I see my hairdresser as often as possible.

4. The Half-Crown Braid Tutorial from Hair Romance from the front…

6. …and from the back:

Macey Foronda for BuzzFeed

Macey J. Foronda for BuzzFeed

Allison: Not to be Allison Bragg, but I was pretty sure this one was going to be easy for me since I’ve been known to dabble in the braid crown. My technique is typically the poor man’s version of this, so I was a little thrown off, but overall it was pretty easy.

Kirsten: This one isn’t bad. I mean, I am pretty bad at hair, but I can conquer a braid, so this one wasn’t terrible for me. Though I do wish I had some Rapunzel locks to make this look cooler.

Candace: Braiding is actually a way for me to pin down the puffiness of my hair. It was hard to determine how much hair to actually grab though. I was really proud of my braids, so I discovered I DID get something out of Girl Scouts.

Kristin: I got lucky. I got so lucky. I was not expecting this turn out OK and THEN IT TOTALLY DID. I haven’t seen it from the back, but I suspect I am living the American hair dream. Also, taking this out was easier than putting this in.

Sheridan: Like WTF kind of black magic is this shit? The chick’s hair looks FLAWLESS in the tutorial, and if she’s gonna tell me she didn’t blow-dry, straighten, then perfectly wave the bottom in order to have a good base to do this, then buh-bye. In the end, it didn’t look as terrible as I thought it would, but let’s be honest, this style is for longer hair.

8. The Two-Minute Updo With a Headband from Hello Natural

Hello Natural / hellonatural.co

Macey J Forornda for BuzzFeed

Allison: LOL! We all looked like George Washington or judges from the 18th century.

Kirsten: Is my rat tail out? My ears kept poking out like that girl from Lord of the Rings. Actually, just Orlando Bloom. But like a not-hot version. Also, this did not take me two minutes. This could come out at any second. Actually — like right now, it is coming out right now.

Candace: I think my hair is just too damn thick for the Pinterest lifestyle. I aimed for 1920s chic, but because of how bad I am with hair, I got George Washington mixed with Princess Leia.

Kristin: I think this only takes two minutes if you are good at things, which I am not. Also, my hair is way too fine for this. I feel like I’m wearing a hat. Allison and Kirsten look good, though.

Sheridan: I feel like it’s the Regency era and I’m a Bennet sister but no one mentions me because I’m worse than Lydia.

10. The Easy Hair Bow from Beautylish

Alicia Hentemann / beautylish.com

Macey J. Foronda for BuzzFeed

Allison: I was so excited for this one because it’s a BOW MADE OF HAIR, GUYS! But it ended up looking like three buns on the top of my head. Whatever, I’m not mad at it. Going to try this every day for the rest of 2015 and see if I can perfect it. Hoping to really nail it down as my summer look.

Kirsten: I feel like this is a hairstyle that I would see on Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. Or maybe Ariana Grande would wear this and people would look at you like, “How does that girl not have a headache?”

Candace: I swear, it is pretty much impossible for me to line something up perfectly in the center of my head. I need to live in the ’80s where everything was to the side. I’m proud because I could actually get a semi-decent bow, but the lopsidedness was so sad, so, so sad.

Kristin: Look, I’ve always wanted to join the Mickey Mouse Club, so this worked out fine for me.

Sheridan: LOL. No.

12. The Half-Up Criss-Cross Updo from Ma Nouvelle Mode from the side…

Natalia Simmons / manouvellemode.com

Macey J. Foronda for BuzzFeed

Macey J Forornda for BuzzFeed

14. …and from the back:

Natalia Simmons / manouvellemode.com

Macey J. Foronda for BuzzFeed

Allison: I don’t get this one at all. It’s just like a half pony thing? Also teasing my hair is a big mistake, and I know not to go there.

Kirsten: When I teased my hair that gave me a nice “after sex” look, but not the kind you want, the kind where you run into the bathroom and fix yourself so the person isn’t terrified of you.

Candace: So, I feel like Snooki pre-baby right now, and I’m ready for my duckface selfie. You’re supposed to tease your hair for more volume in the tutorial, and I should have known not to do that based on how poofy my hair already is.

Kristin: This took me three tries. I tried so hard, you guys, but all I got was mad bumps. My hair just didn’t wanna. No amount of back-combing was gonna make this happen for me. Now I just have a head full of frizz.

Sheridan: So, according to the tutorial, short hair girls can totally rock this hairstyle, and I have to say…doesn’t look too terrible. The teasing was my favorite part — it brought me back to my picturesque New Jersey childhood in which bumps were REQUIRED. I wish I had a little bit straighter hair just so that the sides would look less frizzy and a little more ~sleek~ but I didn’t hate this so SUCCESS.

16. The Straightened Braid Waves Tutorial from Hey Wanderer

Hey Wanderer / heywandererblog.com

Macey J. Foronda for BuzzFeed

Allison: This made me look like I’m in an ’80s hair band. I guess it’s supposed to curl your hair, but it kind of straightened mine?

Kirsten: I think I should have tried larger braids because I kinda look like I got electrocuted. This hairstyle was described as “after beach” wavy and I look like “after I got caught in the undertow” wavy.

Candace: Welp, I was super excited about this, thinking, “YAS I can finally do my hair in under an hour.” Wrong, so wrong. I ended up getting this, like, ’00s middle school crimped-lion hybrid. I made my natural waves turn into teeny tiny riptides. I feel like I have no skill.

Kristin: Yeah, my hair looks the same.

Sheridan: I feel like this hairstyle actually made my hair look straighter. I could totally rock this look normally — no sarcasm. Maybe people will mistake me for Solange Knowles. Don’t white people think that all black people look alike? They’ll be like, “Black girl, big hair, Solange, Solange!” I’m just getting carried away now. This one is an A+, y’all.

18. After putting our hair expertise to the test, we had some final thoughts:

View this image ›

Macey J. Foronda for BuzzFeed

Allison: I don’t even own a brush, hair dryer, or straightener, soooo I suppose I’m not the target demo here. I prefer to keep my look au naturel, but I am a big fan of all these braids and bows and will definitely incorporate them into my look (summer 2015 here I come).

Kirsten: I’m the type of person that can’t even get all of my hair into a ponytail correctly, so these tutorials were hard for me to say the least. They are advertised as being super easy and quick to do, but if you don’t have fine, long, wavy hair I think they don’t work as well.

Candace: I mean, it’s always been incredibly hard to do anything with my hair, and I know I am an exception, but people still have insanely thick hair like me. I guess there really are hairstyles that are specifically for certain hair, and that’s OK. To those with coarse and unruly hair out there, you’re NOT alone.

Kristin: I think the important takeaway here is that doing your hair is hard, and being good at it is harder, so everyone should just try to be a little nicer and more patient with themselves because we all have to go through a lot of bologna to look good in the morning.

Sheridan: I’m glad I got to be a part of this and represent the awkward black girl who doesn’t know how to do her own hair, but this honestly just reaffirmed my belief that you don’t get in between a black woman and her weekly hairdresser, whether that’s her sister, mom, paid professional, aunt, or even a dad who knows how to wield a comb like no other.

Oscars 2018: All The Viral Moments!

I look younger now than when I was in my early 20s

With so much star power in one room, we knew SOMETHING memorable would go down.

And, thanks to Twitter, all of the noteworthy moments from this year's Oscars have been documented online. No, really!!

Photos: All The Oscars Red Carpet Fashion!

Case in point, Jennifer Garner got the GIF treatment, when she seemingly came to an epiphany during the ceremony. Specifically, Ben Affleck's ex was seen clapping with the rest of the audience, when her hands noticeably stopped moving and an "OMG" look crept upon her face. LOLz.

Be sure to ch-ch-check out ALL the viral moments from the show for yourself (below)!!

Jennifer Garner Realizes Something Mid-Award Show

What realization did Jennifer Garner just come to? pic.twitter.com/pWtycEDEVs — bobby finger (@bobbyfinger) March 5, 2018

When you’re having a good time and realize you forgot to thaw the chicken for your mama pic.twitter.com/M2SStgA2VP — Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) March 5, 2018

I wonder if Jennifer Garner knows that she’s a meme yet #oscars — Reagan Pierce (@reagandpierce) March 5, 2018

Jennifer Garner figuring out what "inclusion rider" means https://t.co/jaBvhfT7PA — Easterly (@hillyeahhh) March 5, 2018

Animals Got Some Love At The Academy Awards

A couple animals got shout outs during the Oscars. Special effects make-up artist Kazuhiro Tsuji kicked things off when he made sure to thank his cats while accepting the Best Makeup and Hairstyling award for his work on Darkest Hour. Later on, Alison Janney thanked "a cast and crew and bird that elevated [her] work" during her Best Supporting Actress acceptance speech.

Just remembering that a perfectly-coiffed Kazuhiro Tsuji thanked his cats in his #Oscars win last night. And how important it is to live your truth. — Mari Uyehara (@mariuyehara) March 5, 2018

A man after my own heart - Kazuhiro Tsuji thanking his #cat in his #Oscars acceptance speech! https://t.co/TaxZW33mmU — KT #OdeToJoy Parker (@lunaperla) March 5, 2018

for the record, someday i too will win an oscar for makeup/hairstyling and just like kazuhiro tsuji i will also thank my cat — The Empress (@aesterios) March 5, 2018

kazuhiro tsuji thanking his cat and dedicating the oscar to him is my spirit animal/mood forever — Mimi (@Mimitbd) March 5, 2018

alison janney thanking her shoulder bird in her acceptance speech gave me new life & paid off my student loans 🙏🏽 #itonya #Oscars2018 — brit wigintton (@britwigintton) March 5, 2018

The always classy Allison Janney shouted out her bird co-star in I, Tonya, who definitely deserved to share that award #oscars — Alison (@alison_walks) March 5, 2018

A Totally Unnecessary Tribute To Movies

An hour into the award show's broadcast, the Academy decided to air a movie montage in order to celebrate the organization's 90th birthday. Sadly, the footage wasn't super enjoyable, as it served no real purpose. But hey, Hollywood celebrating Hollywood isn't a SHOCKING thing -- just extra AF.

WHAT IS THIS MONTAGE ABOUT — Emily Yoshida (@emilyyoshida) March 5, 2018

Yeah, guys. We’re on board with movies. We’re an hour deep into a show about movies. — Josh Gondelman (@joshgondelman) March 5, 2018

Kobe Bryant's Win Was Not Celebrated Online

Amid the #MeToo and Time's Up movements, it seemed crazy that Kobe walked away an Oscar winner this year. In case you forgot, Bryant -- who won for Best Animated Short for the film Dear Basketball -- was arrested in '03 for sexual assault after he was hit with rape claims by a hotel staffer. Ultimately, the criminal charges were dropped and Kobe settled the matter out of court.

now show me the sexual assaulter winning an oscar in slow mo !! — Joanna Rothkopf (@joannarothkopf) March 5, 2018

Hollywood - "Women are important!"

Also Hollywood - "Here's Kobe Bryant, who sexually assaulted a woman!" — [email protected] (@ChrisWarcraft) March 5, 2018

Accused rapist Kobe Bryant just won an Oscar. Hollywood loves (alleged) rapists and pedophiles. #Oscars — Makada 🇺🇸 (@_Makada_) March 5, 2018

Kobe Bryant joins a long line of men who have both won an Oscar & have been accused of rape. #MeToo #Oscars — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) March 5, 2018

Gary From Chicago Was MIA -- And The World Took Notice

Host Jimmy Kimmel certainly tried to recreate the viral Gary from Chicago moment from last year's Oscars, as he brought Gal Gadot, Ansel Elgort, Emily Blunt, and others to visit with unsuspecting movie watchers at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. In an attempt to incorporate the elated fans who were surprised with A-listers, Jimmy brought up Mike Young from Lake Elsinore to introduce Tiffany Haddish and Maya Rudolph.

Unfortunately, Mr. Young did NOT leave a lasting impression...

update: gary from chicago with smartphone > mike from california with junior mints — Laura (@laurahopkinz) March 5, 2018

That dude was no Gary from Chicago. #oscars — Ann Lurie (@littleayun) March 5, 2018

*Narrator - he was not Gary from Chicago — It's Just Me (@JustNMS) March 5, 2018

Tiffany Haddish Recycles A Look For The Oscars

Tiffany is without a doubt the most relatable celeb out there right now. We mean, we just LOVED seeing Miz Haddish in the white Alexander McQueen dress she wore on Saturday Night Live AND to her Girls Trip premiere. The comedienne has previously joked that she spent "a lot of money on this dress" (priced at $4,000 gown). Get your money's worth, girl!!

Be sure to watch the speech AND take a look at the reactions (below).
