I'm screamingššš
ācan you imagine the faces their children could makeā (X)
n-no~ /sobbing
Magneto:Ā āPardon me just gonna borrow my wife for a bit.ā
black and asian vikings 100% definitely existed (also, saami vikings)
you know how far you can get into eurasia and africa by sailing up rivers from the baltic and mediterranean seas? pretty fucking far, and thatās what vikings liked to do to trade
then, you know, people are people, so love happens, business happens, and so ppl get married and take spouses back home to the frozen hellscape that is scandinavia (upon which iām guessing the horrorstruck new spouses wentĀ āWHAT THE FUCK??? FUCKING GIVE ME YOUR JACKET???????ā)
and sometimes vikings bought thralls and brought them home as well, and i mean, when your indentured service is up after however many years and youāre a free person again, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe itās a bit hard to get all the way home across the continent, so you make the best out of the situation and you probably get married and raise a gaggle kids
so yeah
viking kingdoms/communities were not uniformly pure white aryan fantasy paradises, so pls stop using my cultural history and ethnic background to excuse your racist discomfort with black ppl playing heimdall and valkyrie
Ok I already know that teen wolf is already getting a spin off (even though I don't think it will fair better than the original) but (and I might be imagining this) Ian bohen put a tweet up saying there should be a hale spin off and like omg would I be so down for that! Like imagine all the different aspects and just times they could explore. Think about it
Smol derek, smol cora,Peter and Chris relationship, talia ...TALIA, Laura and all her greatness and any other family members them as a pack interacting with each other like my god I want it
There would have been a lot less death in the wild west if they had just built the towns big enough
Can we just?
Iāve said this before, but every once in a while, there seems to be a resurgence of bullshit from Anti-Stereks that feel as though the Sterek Fandom is responsible for making non-Sterek related fanwork so that other ships/pairings/characters donāt feel left out.
Thatās bullshit.
For years, the Sterek fandom was hounded by bullies who wanted nothing to do with our existence. We were told to leave the Teen Wolf fandom. We were told to stop watching the show. We were made to feel unwelcome by the show, by fellow fans, and by actual actors from the show. In response, The Sterek Fandom decided to detach ourselves from the Teen Wolf Fandom and become a fandom of our own.Ā
We decided to write Sterek fanfiction. We decided to plan Sterek-related events and themed Sterek Weeks. We decided to create Sterek fanwork. Iāve seen books, calendars, t-shirts, posters, playing cards, holiday cards, blankets, pillows, comic books, keychains, coffee mugs, etc⦠The Sterek Fandom built itself into something for Sterek fans to enjoy, so that we didnāt have to feel unwelcome and suffer through endless torment from people that hated us because we shipped Sterek.
But despite not even being connected to the main fandom of the show anymore, and despite most of us no longer watching the show, and despite Stiles & Derek not existing within the show itself anymore, The Sterek Fandom STILL receives butthurt messages and posts from Anti-Sterekers, who have become so lost inside of their own bitterness that they lash out in jealously over Sterekās continued thriving existence.
The idea that Sterek fans need to write fanfic about anything other than Sterek is bullshit. The idea that Sterek fans need to focus on characters other than Derek Hale and/or Stiles Stilinski is bullshit. The idea that Sterek fans are āracistā for writing fanfiction about Stiles Stilinski/Derek HaleĀ but not also worshiping Scott McCall in the same breath is fucking ridiculous, trivial, and an insulting mockery of what racism actually means.
It should be common sense, but how many times do Sterek fans need to remind people that Sterek Fanfiction is always about Sterek? If any other pairings or relationships or characters are mentioned, theyāre going to take a backseat and/or not even be mentioned at all because the fanfiction is about Sterek. Written by Sterek shippers. Posted by a Sterek shipper. For the Sterek Fandom.
Recently, I have read through some of the dumbest arguments about whyĀ āSterek fans need to be required to write about other ships, other characters, and make fanwork about things other than Sterekā. Iāve seen Anti-Sterekers, people who have spent countless hours bullying/harassing Sterek shippers, actually try to play the argument that since Sterek is so popular, we should have to write fics so that less popular ships can also thrive.
Again, bullshit.Ā
This isnāt political. This isnāt some sort ofĀ āthe rich should have to share their wealth with the oppressed minoritiesā. This has absolutely nothing to do with things like oppressed vs. the oppressors. This is about a fandom NOT having to spend their free-time making things about something other than their fandom.Ā
Let it be known. The Sterek FandomĀ ā The Teen Wolf Fandom. We havenāt been connected to the Teen Wolf fandom for years and weāve thrived because of it. We donāt have to weigh ourselves down with threatening and cruel remarks because we ship something so much bigger than the show itself. But even if we were still connected to the Teen Wolf Fandom, The Stereks STILL donāt have to push out Non-Sterek fanwork for other people.Ā
Fanwork is created out of the time and talent of fans. Sterek fans have their lives, and they use their precious free-time to write, draw, design, and create what they want to add to all of the other beautiful Sterek fanwork. We donāt need to create anything other than Sterek-related material. And we especially donāt have to create anything for people who bullied us and made us feel low because we shipped Sterek and didnāt want to pay attention to some of the boring elements and characters that existed in the show.Ā
The Sterek Fandom currently has 46,144 fanworks on Archive of our Own. We didnāt get to this monumental amount of beautiful work because we complained to people and forced them to write fanfic for us. We took the time, put in the effort, sat through the editing, the planning, fleshed out our visions, and made something for ourselves (first and foremost) and also for our fellow Sterek fans to enjoy.
Iāve seen the arguments that Sterek fanfics should have to include Scott McCall as a main character because heās the titular character of the show. Iāve seen arguments that Sciles/Skittles (Scott McCall/Stiles Stilinski) is a better ship than Sterek. Iāve seen arguments that Scerek (Scott McCall/Derek Hale) is a better ship than Sterek. These are nothing more than mere opinions that make some Sciles/Scerek/Scott/Anti-Sterek stans feel as though the Sterek Fandom owes them something in return.
We donāt. We never will.Ā
At the present moment, Sciles has 2,821 fanworks on Ao3. Scerek has 748 fanworks. Honestly, I have one single word to say to Sciles/Scerek fans that feel underwhelmed by the amount of fanfics available and have turned to shaming Stereks because you think itāll get us to write you fanficā¦
Work.
Sterek fans worked. We spent time, energy, and talent for days, weeks, months, and years to built the massive amount of glorious Sterek fanfics that we have now. We didnāt start with 46,144 fics. We started at ZERO. At one point in time, years & years ago, we also had 2,821 fics. Even more long ago, we had 748 fics.Ā But we kept working. We kept creating. We kept writing.Ā
Itās honestly up to you guys to write for yourselves. Sterek fans owe you nothing in return. Though, there are some very nice Sterek fans that frequently take prompts and spend their time writing things that donāt necessary line up with their usual work. Sometimes they write Sciles or Scerek. But Sterek shippers donāt have a debt to pay back to bullies and people who think they deserve something for nothing.Ā
To Sterek Shippers: You donāt need to write anything other than Sterek if you donāt want to. You donāt need to create fanwork for anything other than Sterek is you donāt wish to. Donāt let vicious bullies try to guilt you into doing what you donāt have to do. Keep writing & donāt feel discouraged.
To Anti-Sterekers that feel as though Sterek shippers owe you and your favorite pairings/characters something: Put in some of your time and start writing for yourself. If thereās a prompt out there that you want to see done for your favorite ship, write it yourself. If you feel as though thereās not enough fics out there about howĀ āgreatā Scott McCall, write it for yourself. If you think Sciles/Scerek are more interesting than Sterek, then write it for yourself.
Sterek fans donāt owe anything to anybody. The Sterek Fandom is NOT part of the Teen Wolf Fandom. Sterek started back in 2011. The ship name is the combination of the names Stiles Stilinski & Derek Hale, two characters who donāt even exist on the show anymore. You shouldnāt be surprised when a Sterek fanfic focuses on Sterek.Ā
In closing,
Sterek is eternal. We write for ourselves and for our ship, not because you think that you control our creativity and time. The show that introduced us to the characters of Stiles & Derek might be ending, but the Sterek fandom continues to cherish the characters and the ship.

Hi! I was just thinking back about all the sterek moments and I remembered the scene in the last episode season three where Derek dreamed of Stiles. I don't remember what he was asking him, but since it was Stiles, do you think they were implying that he's Derek's anchor?
Oh hell yes, they were.Ā
Let me just rant for a momentā¦
And let me explain why/how this came to pass.
Ā Back in seasons 1 and 2, Derek explained that his anchor was his anger towards Kate after his family died in the house fire, but then Stiles came along and outed Kateās lack of morals to Chris and Peter slashed open her throat, leaving Derek with a lot of unfounded anger that he couldnāt ground and so turned it on everyone around him.Ā Then along came season 3 and that anger turned into depression as he watched the members of his pack - his new family - being killed or found dead. And who was there for hi when all others were scared to go near him?Ā
Stiles was.
Stiles was the only one who was brave enough and caring enough to break down Derekās walls and get to him on an emotional level.
But itās also Stiles who keeps him on his toes and constantly keeps him thinking, and while Derek mocks him at times by saying that to think like Stiles is to think ālike Ā hyperactive spazzā, but itās his connection to Stiles and his ability to think like him that he is able to find Braeden and Satomiās pack before they all die.
Itās also Stiles who tries to make him smile or tests his patience (like he does in theĀ āLetās see that fist, Big Guyā scene) to prove that Derek isnāt just a creature of rage and to show him that heās still human.
So, when Derek is scared and couldnāt tell if he was dreaming or not, his mind went to the person who is his emotional centre and who can help him through any situation with reasoning, someone who knows what itās like to face loss, depression and anxiety; not Peter, not his mother, not his sisters, but his anchor: Stiles.
And this is why I hate Jeff Davis: he set Stiles and Derek up as soulmates, as each otherās anchors and saviours, but then he threw that all out the window for the sake of poorly written heteronormativeĀ ārelationshipsā.
(Thank you for listening, sorry for the rant)
