a lot of people are speculating about money and whatnot so I’m putting my thoughts here:
when Scott returns the duffel bag of money to Derek, Derek reveals that it’s all Peter’s because Derek spent his money to buy the building his loft is in. It’s reasonable to assume that means he’s earning money from the apartment building
as to where the money came from - there would’ve likely been an insurance payout for the Hale House and for life insurance policies across several family members. even without this, however, the Hale family owned land and a massive house — they were a wealthy family. they were a prestigious werewolf pack
imo it would make sense to extrapolate that Laura split the money between her, Derek, and Peter (with the intention that Peter’s share would provide him a comfortable situation in the hospital for an indefinite amount of time)
also imo it’s not too far of a jump to imagine that Laura had bought an apartment building in New York for her and Derek to live in, which would explain why Derek did it. we don’t know what exactly they did in New York, BUT I imagine Laura enrolled him in a New York high school. Laura probably either pursued some career or was trying to hone her skills as an alpha or investigating the fire, etc
if Laura had bought an apartment complex in New York, it’d have gone to Derek when she died and he’d have inherited it. if she hadn’t, Derek would have gotten whatever money Laura hadn’t used to set them up in New York
like OP said, Derek made choices to punish himself after the fire — the fact that he probably grew up rich adds to this because even comforts he grew up with he didn’t allow himself to have
Derek, in season 1: *lives in the burned out husk of his former family home*
Derek, in season 2: *lives in a health code violating abandoned train depot*
Derek, in season 3: *lives in a sad, barely furnished loft*
Peter, in season 4: Yeah, we have 117 million US dollar laying around under the school
Me, softly: Oh. So those really were all choices that boy made, not necessities due to a lack of options, huh. Derek Hale, king of self punishment and founder of the Derek Hale Doesn't Deserve Nice Things club, huh. Get that man a hug and a soft blanket

1/3 Regarding Tyler Posey throwing a jealous fit, attacking Derek Hale, Stiles Stilinski and Sterek fans, and whining that people who don’t watch Teen Wolf for him or for his character Scott McCall are ā€œweird twisted bizzarreā€ and are watching the show for the ā€œwrong reasonsā€. A specific group of Scott fans claim that Posey lashed out because the interviewer asked him about Sterek instead of Sciles (the Teen Wolf ship TP has always been unhealthily obsessed with) and that
2/3 ā€œit was perfectly within Tyler’s rights to object against a crack ship that had absolutely nothing to do with him that the fandom constantly hounded him and his costars aboutā€. Scott Stans also claim that Dylan O’Brien and Tyler Hoechlin said something against Sterek and its shippers and condone Posey’s behavior, but that fandom at large likes to pretend it never happened for some nefarious purpose – which I know for a fact it’s utter bullshit,
3/3 since Dylan and Hoechlin explicitly stated that they NEVER had any problem with Sterek and have openly showed their love and support to the ship and its fans more than once (much to Posey and his defense squad’s chagrin.) Not to mention that Hoechlin even called Posey out on his pathetic temper tantrum and ā€œweird twisted wrong bizzarreā€ comments in front of an audience during a Teen Wolf convention. My question is: it’s true that Posey was asked about Sterek in that infamous interview?
Okay, so this is relatively easy to google (at least, I somehow managed to get exactly what I wanted first try) but i think most people don’t really bother bc honestly, it’s kinda cringe to watch some of their interviews with people about the show.
Anyway, This is the video of that infamous interview. It wasn’t just an interview with Posey. It was with Holland, Hoechlin, AND Posey, about S3B I think? The first fucking question of the interview was about Scott’s relationship status and whether he’d be ending up with Allison or Kira, and he was plenty happy to talk about how exciting it was to see things leaning toward Kira more.
Then Hoechlin got asked about whether he’d be getting another lady, and Hoechlin outright says ā€œI think there should be a 12 episode cooling off period between love interests when they’ve killed like 20 peopleā€ and that he thinks Derek has other things to worry about.
THen we get to ā€œThe Questionā€ ā€œIf the ladies don’t work out for derek, I know the fans are rooting for a little Sterek action.ā€ And Hoechlin laughs, and Holland looks like she’s holding back a laugh too.
Now I think it’s worth noting, this interviewer was pretty fucking nice. He explicitly said ā€œi know fandom is fandom.ā€ as in, he wasn’t asking if it’d be in the show. He just wanted to know what they thought about it.
And even though you’d think HOECHLIN would get to answer a question about HIS character first, Posey immediately jumps in. It wasn’t specifically directed at HIM it was for all of them, and more specifically HOECHLIN, but Posey interrupted All of them to say, ā€œI think Sterek is a bizarre, weird, twisted thing, and I think that anyone who pays more attention to sterek than the show isn’t watching the show for the right reasons.ā€
It’s literally the quote that everyone uses. And he says this in such a fucking iron hard voice, that it completely shuts down the rest of the room. The interviewer is trying to laugh about it, but everything Immediately gets awkward.
And like, what the fuck was Hoechlin supposed to do? Get in a fight with his co-star right there? He looks so uncomfortable because then the interviewer turns to him and like, how do you respond to that respectfully? He ended up talking about Derek and Stiles being partners in crime, about how that dynamic would be screwed up this season because Stiles is the one who needs the help, and how Derek would be much more concerned about him than he might have in previous seasons.
It was such a bullshit, horrible thing for Posey to say. The entire interview was about romantic relationships between characters and Posey was Perfectly Happy to discuss the ā€˜will they won’t they’ of the Scott and Allison, Scott and Kira situation. Sterek wasn’t being shoved down their throat, it was just another in a list of questions.
And just to make it clear THIS VIDEO includes a DIRECT RESPONSE from Hoechlin to Posey’s statement and how much he disagrees. And he is very explicit about how much he adores their relationship and he’s never had an issue with Sterek and NEITHER has Dylan.

it’s even crazier that shippers didn’t have to draw the parallel lines. it’s in the damn show. Cain himself equates Cas to his wife when he says Dean is living his life in reverse
there’s literally no other way to take that
If they WANTED to do Cain & Abel as a Sam & Dean parallel they would've like resurrected Abel and he and Cain would have had a brotherly moment where Abel is saying he forgives Cain etc etc but then Cain still chooses violence. Like there's a very straightforward parallel they could have done. But instead they came up with Collette, their dead wife OC

Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!
Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.
There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.
I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:
Tumblr media
Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.
The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.
The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.
If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.
Tumblr media
Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.

one thing I really like about my relationship with my boyfriend is that we can express negative feelings about each other's actions without assigning blame or requiring apology. I mean like for morally neutral things like "it drives me crazy when you leave a wet towel on the floor instead of hanging it up"
cause now like instead of "oh I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to drive you crazy, I'm terrible and unsocialized" or "um well that's dumb, who cares" it's like
"it does? I didn't know that. how come?"
"because it will mildew and I keep tripping over it and I don't know whether you intend to reuse that towel or whether it needs to go in the wash"
"okay so usually if I intend to reuse it I hang it up, and if it needs to go in the wash I drop it on the floor. I guess because I thought I shouldn't put it in the hamper because it would get all the other dirty clothes wet and then THEY might mildew before we do the laundry."
"that's valid. what if we have a specific place to hang wet towels that need to be washed? how about this one hook here"
"perfect!"
no hurt feelings, nobody being made to feel shitty and sloppy on one hand or uptight and bitchy in the other hand. just, we're partners right? let's workshop this

There is something really sweet that I noticed about Castiel some time ago
I mean someone probably pointed it already but, in case…
When he sits down in the backseat of the Impala, he is ALWAYS behind Sam or at least in the middle, but NEVER behind Dean. The only time we saw Misha there, he was playing Jimmy.
It’s like Cas prefers sitting where he can still have a good look at Dean

just a heads up to my fellow writers out there that AO3 is currently fighting off bots commenting on people’s works to tell them that AO3 will delete their fics ā€œdue to the works being deprecatedā€, and the deletion will affect their accounts unless the authors delete the fics themselves first. IT IS A SCAM. AO3 will NOT delete your works. please do NOT fall for these bots!
I’ve been told the reason why these bots are doing this is due to copyright infringement issue where they’re trying to steal your works (possibly to train AI but this is just a guess) ā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļøand once you deleted your fics, it will be either very difficult or impossible for you to claim ownership of your own fics when they were already deleted.ā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļø
a reminder that AO3 will never contact you through your comments section (in case they claim to be one of the moderators). AO3 will only contact you through your email address which you use to register your account, and it will be from AO3’s official handle. not some sketchy ass @
so if you get a comment telling you you should ā€œdelete your works to protect your account because AO3 is doing blah blah blahā€ report that comment. don’t delete your works.
PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAM.
AO3 IS NOT DELETING WORKS.
DO NOT DELETE YOUR WORKS JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE CLAIMS THEY KNOW SOMETHING.

Parallels: 2x08 Cross Road Blues & 15x18 Despair
In its original context, 2x08 is made to draw parallels between Dean and a man who made a crossroads deal to save his wife’s life and John, who made a demon deal to save Dean. However, time is a flat circle and we know Supernatural loves to recycle plot lines, so theoretically, if the Supernatural final never happened, I would imagine this is the kind of perspective Season 16 Dean would have on Cas’ deal with The Empty.

Derek’s not the type to be openly romantic. Like yeah, he’ll tug Stiles in by the waist and he’ll lean into the PDA (because Stiles absolutely doles it out like it’s oxygen), but he rarely initiates it. And he’s definitely not verbose, so from the outside, it probably looks like Stiles is the one constantly waxing poetic while Derek just grunts in the background . No one would ever believe he’s the kind of guy to use pet names.
But what they don’t know is how soft he gets when it’s just the two of them. How, when they’re tangled up in bed, limbs a mess, and Stiles asks something dumb like ā€œWould you still love me if I was a worm?ā€
Derek presses his mouth to the warm skin behind Stiles’s ear, and whispers sleepily:
ā€œBaby, if you were a worm, I’d raze the earth to find you. I’d sift through every grain of sand, tunnel through the dark until I reached you. I’d leave no stone unturned, no dirt unsearched. I’d go mad with the need to find you. And when I did, I’d rise from the underworld with you in my hands. You’d be my treasure. My reason for existing. I’d burn the world to ashes just to keep you close.ā€
And Stiles? He just kind of short circuits. Goes completely red and faceplants into the mattress because what the hell is he supposed to do with that?
