you know, there are plenty of stiles fans who dont have any particular feelings on lydia one way or the other. in fact id go so far as to say the majority of us dont ship him with lydia. we may disagree with lydias taste, but we dont hate her.

i never said they hate her. i said that they agree with a lot of problematic shit with how his character is written and romanticize it 

I always took Stiles’ actions toward Lydia as being meant to be foolish and wrong, as something that young men in our society who haven’t been taught better tend to do. I hope he gets some comeuppance about them this season, so people can stop romanticizing his obsessive behavior.

but that is the large problem with how society perceives this behaviour. because when it goes badly, it’s the girl who is blamed for hypothetically leading the boy on 

i just wish this problematic behaviour wasn’t written as normal and romanticized 

Maybe I give the writers too much benefit of the doubt when I figure they meant to write him as foolish and creepy…

that is inherently the problem. this behaviour is showcased as foolish and haplessly romantic. when in fact, it’s creepy. at large this is how ingrained patriarchy is in society. where a guy’s unwanted attention is spun into a delightful tale of unrequited love 

I completely agree, especially once I realized that a lot of people do take delight in Stiles’ actions toward Lydia (damn Twilight generation).

 hey-ben said: no one has tried offering advice what a bunch of butts

i kno rite like i spent a full hour trying to find help but google failed me and so did tumblr

help on what? May I help you? 

I tried to find out how to clean a kettle and tumblr is now laughing at my misery :c do you know how to clean a kettle if u do cone let me luv u down bby

clean it like… inside? like, the white stuff that I have no idea how it’s called in english? or outside because it’s black and calling your pot names?

That white stuff is called lime in english, aka calcium carbonate and other minerals, which are dissolved in most tap water and deposit on faucets and kettles and things. A good way of removing it from cooking utensils is by soaking the kettle in vinegar, which should dissolve the mineral deposit, then washing with soap and water to get rid of the vinegar smell.

queerly-it-is:

“Okay,” Julie says, getting up and walking to the front of the room, since apparently no one else is going to. “We all know why we’re here?”

The classroom is totally full. Actually it’s so stuffed with people she feels like the walls should be swelling outwards. They probably should’ve thought of how many people would show before they annexed the room.

“Werewolves!” someone yells from the back, and a murmur goes around everyone else like a ripple, all nods and agreement and one person muttering, “Totalled my fucking car. Bunch of assholes.”

“Uh. Right,” she says, blinking and then carrying on. She prides herself on being adaptable. “Werewolves.”

“And giant lizards!” Bobby Smetts shouts from the corner, looking a little wild around the eyes.

“Okay,” Julie says, hoping he’s not gonna fly off the handle like he did that time in drama club when he didn’t get the part he wanted. “And what do we think we should do about it?”

The crowd - not the most intelligent of organisms, she knows - bubbles up into discussion about the supernatural like it’s nothing odd at all. There was more vicious bickering at the planning committee for the winter formal.

“We can’t call the cops,” says Paul Romaine, killing the argument in his little group. “The Stilinski kid’s dad is in on it.”

Julie doesn’t know if that’s true, and Paul’s on two strikes as it is, so who knows if he’s just covering his own ass with that.

“Wolfsbane!” drifts out from somewhere in the mass of people. “It kills ‘em, right? We should get some of that!”

“Wolfsbane kills people too, dumbass,” Carly West scoffs from where she’s sitting yoga-style on top of a desk. “You wanna poison us all? Like there’s not enough shit going on already?”

Tom Andros actually raises his hand, which makes a few people snort until Julie nods at him “Wait, werewolves aren’t people?” he asks. “‘Cause I kinda thought—”

“We’re not poisoning anyone,” she assures him, quickly before a debate about werewolf rights or something starts and this whole things becomes even more of a clusterfuck. “This isn’t some kind of attack plan, guys, we’re just trying to work out a way to— to graduate okay.” She almost said not get killed, but that’s not gonna help.

Two people squeeze their way out of the mass of bodies and slip through the door, something about “bunch of cowards” that makes Julie roll her eyes and someone throw a pen at the door as it shuts behind them.

“Look, what if we tried talking to McCall and Stilinski and whoever else knows about this stuff?” says Will Larkin. Another pen hits him in the back.

“Dude, I tried the other day,” David Gregg pipes up. “Before whatever that was with the birds? I got hit in the face. With a chair.”

“The birds thing was werewolves too?” someone says, “I thought that was like, global warming or some shit.”

“Global warming isn’t ‘cause of werewolves, it’s a goverment conspiracy!” someone else yells.

They get a little sidetracked from there, until finally they decide to make a list on the blackboard of who’s a werewolf or knows about werewolves. Danny Mahealani’s name gets written and wiped off again four times, since nobody seems to know what’s going on with him.

“What about Greenberg?” a guy who’s name Julie doesn’t know asks.

“Nobody cares about Greenberg,” Julie says. It’s a reflex.

“Hey!”

“Oh,” she says. “Sorry Greenberg, I didn’t know you were here.” It’s still true though. And she kind of wants to ask if he’s really dating Coach Finstock.

“This isn’t gonna be like that Buffy season finale is it?” Ash Baker asks, and his voice is kind of shaky. “Because I don’t wanna be an army.”

Julie’s getting a tension headache. “No,” she says. “We’re not turning into an army.” There’s a few disappointed mutters from around the huddle of lacrosse players on one side of the room.

“What are we even calling this?” someone from the back asks. “Are we like, a club or a support group or what?”

“If we’re a club we have to ask a teacher to sponsor us,” she hears. Carly West laughs with her head in her hands.

Julie kind of wishes she hadn’t given up smoking three weeks ago.

“Harris would do it,” gets pointed out. “Nobody hates Stilinski and McCall more than him.”

“I do!” Greenberg says. Three pens hit him in the head.

“For now let’s just agree to meet again in a week, maybe in the music room,” Julie says. “There’s more room. Make sure nobody on the list,” she points at the board, “hears about what we’re doing.”

By the time everyone’s filed out, the classroom is stuffy and hot and smells way too strongly of high school students. Julie sticks around long enough to right one of the desks that got knocked over and cracks a window.

She wipes the list of names off the board, and decides to go to the town library after school. There’s something about mountain ash trees she read once that could be useful.
