Practicing lineart skills now that I'm a little free from work~

So I’m new to the Sterek and Teen Wolf fandom and-OHGOD! *ducks flying chair* I think I’ve boarded this ship in a touch stormy seas! ^^;; How typically for me. Ah well, never mind though, I’m still happy to have found this surprisingly brilliant show and this fantastic potential-pair recently! So many people in this fandom seem like absolute sweethearts too, which is lovely.

So chin up puppies! Sometimes a plotline will surprise you in ways you didn’t expect.

And then he goes through villain decay, which I don’t actually mind because it’s like:

And the fact that Hoechlin looked at this boy's headshot

saw that this boy was brunette, had freckles, and was wearing plaid in his headshot, and said: "yep, that's Stiles' son-- oh, I mean, yep that's Derek's son!" like....SIR!

Biologists create beetle with functional extra eye

On “Game of Thrones,” a three-eyed raven holds the secrets of the past, present and future in a vast fantasy kingdom. But for real-world biologists, a “three-eyed beetle” may offer a true glimpse into the future of studying evolutionary development.

Using a simple genetic tool, IU scientists have intentionally grown a fully functional extra eye in the center of the forehead of the common beetle. Unraveling the biological mechanisms behind this occurrence could help researchers understand how evolution draws upon pre-existing developmental and genetic “building blocks” to create novel complex traits, or “old” traits in novel places.

The study’s results appear in the journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The work also provides deeper insights into an earlier experiment that accidentally produced an extra eye as part of a study to understand how the insect head develops.

“Developmental biology is beautifully complex in part because there’s no single gene for an eye, a brain, a butterfly’s wing or a turtle’s shell,” said Armin P. Moczek, a professor in the IU Bloomington College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Biology. “Instead, thousands of individual genes and dozens of developmental processes come together to enable the formation of each of these traits.

ANOTHER SUNRISE - FITLER EFFECT (FAN ART)

Every single dad packed into the car:

Your husband and all his coworkers:

Remember when I wrote:

Well, today I posted:

And you’ll never believe it but:

It is unlikely this dude knows what I’ve survived in my life, and what I endured to get here. It’s unlikely he knows I am a survivor of child abuse and exploitation, who lives with PTSD that was caused and exacerbated by his parents.

He probably doesn’t know that. But even if he did, I suspect he’d say the same thing. He saw someone expressing joy and gratitude, and he just couldn’t help himself.

And Stiles isn’t involved any more than anyone else in the pack at first, but he picks up on the fact that Derek isn’t all that affectionate with the kid, so Stiles starts spending more time with him. And then one day the kid is especially out of it and when Stiles asks him what’s wrong he breaks down and says that his dad hates him and his dad keeps saying mommy was a bad person but mommy is gone and he misses her and he wants to run away and live with uncle Stiles instead of his dad because his dad doesn’t give him hugs or read him stories before bed and dad got mad before and used a scary voice and he doesn’t even know what he did wrong.

And Stiles? Stiles calmly drops the kid off with Issac, and then goes BALLISTIC on Derek.

“He’s fucking six years old, his mom just DIED, he’s surrounded by strangers, and you’re punishing him for what his mother did? Kate was a shitty person, understatement of the century, but this is a CHILD, Derek, and if you want to be his father then you better get the fuck over that. The way you’re treating him, that’s emotional neglect, borderline abuse, and if you don’t get your shit together RIGHT NOW and stop scaring him then I swear to god I will find a way to make sure he finds a home far away from you.”

And Stiles expects Derek to get mad right back, because Stiles is SCREAMING right in his face about it he is so furious, but Derek just looks defeated and heartbroken. He never meant to scare the kid, he’s just not as good at covering up Kate-related emotions as he thought he was. And Stiles suggests he actually Get To Know his kid, because he’s clever and funny and Not Kate Argent. He tells Derek to not pawn the kid off on the rest of the pack every chance he gets, to spend time with him, take him in the preserve and teach him about nature, read him stories before bed, find out what shows he likes to watch and his favorite movie characters and what his favorite foods are. Stiles suggests he read some parenting books and, oh yeah, go to therapy, because even if he can’t talk about being a werewolf, he can talk about everything else.
