Thank you so much for your response! I really liked your epilogue designs for Dungeons and Daddies, but if I can request one thing to add, I would really appreciate an extra pair of heads of Linc and Scary together and being a cute couple. I really like the Gothcleats ship.

Oh, I’m way ahead of you king,

Using this as an excuse to dump all my sketches lol

there's just something different about pete in the epilogue. he seems so much more settled in his own skin, he takes the time to consider what he's hearing, what he wants to say, how he wants to touch. there's a general sense of calmness that I think can only have come from a significant amount of introspection while vegas was unconscious, after the intense emotional whirlwind of the attempted coup and his resignation.

pete said himself he tries to live in the present, and i think part of that has been a defense mechanism, trying to not self-analyse too deeply or he'll have to confront the emptiness lurking there ("no. I've always been useless."). but after the finale, after finally owning up to what he truly wants and going after it, pete has had time to look at those choices he made in a desperate situation and has had to confront himself about them.

so when vegas asks him why he's still here, he takes a moment to really think about it. and unlike when vegas asked him before at the safehouse why he came back, he actually answers. he gives an answer that could have seemed flippant, but there's nothing but sincerity in the way it's delivered. he can't go anywhere else. and then: he just wants to follow his heart.

it's not a complicated answer. but it's what he didn't understand or couldn't face up to before, and he can only do so now because he isn't hiding away from himself any more. he knows that this was a choice he made and he will stand by it, keep making it, because it's what he wants. he seems so comfortable in his own skin in a way he hasn't before because now he isn't just living in the present: he's thinking about the past and what it will take to live with that, and most importantly he's thinking about the future and the life they could build together. the life he wants to build together.

and that conviction that he wants to keep following his heart gives us a version of pete who is so much more whole than any we've seen before

imo the fact that hermie was born a teenager but also didn't know he was adopted implies that scam gave him false memories of having a childhood (and maybe he lost them/realized they were fake after finding out his true nature?? origin of the 'the man who stole my childhood' line and why hermie suddenly hates scam so much??? but i digress)*

which in turn makes me think he gave hermie's adoptive parents false memories of having raised him all his life. because 1) come on, it's scam and 2) i doubt they would've deemed it necessary to hide hermie's adoption from him if they'd adopted him as a full teenager

which IN TURN makes me think what if hermie's parents lost their memories of him after the original hermie died and then hermie2 comes 'back home' but his parents don't know who he is? there doesn't seem to be a trace he ever existed in this house, even? what are we thinking gang

teens adults

[just venting a bit into the void you understand you understand 😌] Lately I've been feeling very caught between "I have a lot of thoughts on Sparrow and Normal and all that with the ending and teen talk and feel like I need to get them out and voice them for my own piece of mind and resolution" and "I am lacking the strength and energy to actually sit down and write it all out and kind of really just want to fully move on to other things (AUs, fics, anything else)" but my brain can't seem to commit to either and that's quite frustrating cause it's just left me very restless. *Sigh*. Idk! Just needed to complain about that a bit ig, it's silly but this is what has been ailing me as of late.

fully convinced that the people harping on about how killing claire's dad came out of nowhere have never had a family member die too early. because that kind of stuff literally does happen randomly and without warning. even if they've been sick for a while, getting the actual news that they died feels like a punch. and isn't that the whole point of the show? how tragedy intersects with happiness at every point in our lives? each season finale of the show had a moment of pure joy intersecting with a moment of tragedy/animosity. this time it's the same but also different because for once the instance of tragedy directly effects the kids. they've been living in a war zone but nothing too terrible has actually happened to them, until now. ive always understood the season 1 & 2 finales as being about how, for a bunch of teenagers, nothing major that happens in the world around them is comparable to their teenage problems. but now, as they're finally becoming adults, they're faced with a very major problem that alters their lives forever.

something deeply real and homosexual and frightening happened to those two after reggie got home from basketball camp, after archie spent the summer keeping that home safe

and whatever it was it scared archie so bad he ran straight to his little quad and then all the way to california into the arms of a nameless wife and he never fucking looked back, he couldnt look back

As an OG scallison warrior. I have so many thoughts from this movie. But all I can manage is just. We really did it. Scott really never stopped loving her. He carried her picture in his wallet for 15 years. He wanted kids but he couldn't find the right woman, because he did find her, she just died at 17. And now he has her back. And she died in the arms of the person she'd always love, but now she's back with that person. They've been given a second chance. And I don't think I will ever stop crying. This is just honestly the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Ideas for epilogue designs. lmk which ones you guys like best?

It's finished guys! The past 8 (!!!) years have been a blast, but it's time to move on to other stories :')

goddammit all that LV worldbuilding has lead me to creating a scene in my head that now has me wondering if i have to put a plot-important sex scene in what will be a main-storyline arc instead of a fade to black or disconnected easily-skippable oneshot

them talking abt ideas for the epilogue for s2 in the teen talk this week is making me feel things :(

I need to make an eleanor fnaf playlist that has the most corniest music found in those "supervillain" types of playlists

Chapter #10: Summary

Kaiden “Kai” Noah Hale was born on June 5th at two am to Alpha and Alpha Mate Hale at the base of the Nemeton. They are surrounded by their pack, their pups and the magic. The magic of the Nemeton, and Stiles's magic envelope them, a vibration of celebration, welcoming the newest Hale.

realizing for timeline reasons it’s entirely possible though not extremely likely that wyll would actually recognize xarrai lol
