Inspired by this post, I hope the OP doesn’t mind letting my fingers get away from me …
As far as he can remember, Derek has always seen Stiles recording things.
A particularly stunning sunset, from the moment the Sun started turning a shade of orange that made Stiles’ eyes look like glowing amber, to the moment it disappeared beyond the horizon.
The smile spreading on Scott’s face when a previously-thought stillborn puppy licked his thumb.
The way Melissa closed her eyes for a moment when the Sheriff proposed before glomping him, for a lack of a better word, with a litany of “yes, yes, yes”.
The ruffle of the leaves as Autumn settles over Beacon Hills.
Derek’s profile in the Twilight before he turns and spots Stiles and his whole being softens.
Forget about floating balloons, Stiles’ videos of the mundane beauty surrounding them is a real work of art.
And yes, Derek is acutely familiar with Stiles’ need to record everything “for posterity”.
let me know if you’re not cool with me adding onto this, but it made me realize that stiles probably records things so he wont forget. because of his mom. because of all of the supernatural crap. and this is so sweet and now im
if youve never physically been in the presence of like, a real live wolf, and you probably wont get the chance to, heres some stuff about them you should know
a wolf’s fur is so unbelievably thick that you can get like, your whole hand into it while petting. and then you can keep going
wolves are a lot bigger than you think they are. think about how big you think a wolf is then just like double that
they dont really smell like dog but they DO smell and youre not going to be able to figure out if its a good smell or not
a wolf really wants to lick the inside of your mouth. he will not stop trying to lick the inside of your mouth at any cost, and generally speaking you need to press your lips together kind of tightly when he approaches your face so that he doesnt worm his damn tongue in there to give you what he thinks is an appropriate greeting
a wolf doesnt really want to look at you while you pet him but he wants you to pet him. hes embarrassed
if a grown ass wolf decides to lay down on you, you just have to deal with it and thats your life now
young wolves, much like young dogs, are overwhelmingly goofy and stupid. a teenage wolf will see your very fragile, very human shoulder and go “i can probably step on that with my full weight” and then he will do it
letting a wolf eat out of your hand is actually not remotely frightening, and youll want to do it all day
