i can’t help myself i’m sorry

“Hey, pal, you’re in the wrong parking spot,” says the Jeep. It’s an older build, light blue paint with some definite wear and tear. Its engine pings as it cools. Two teenage boys jumped out of it about five minutes ago and raced into the high rise.
“I’m sorry,” says Toyota RAV4 2013 Crossover SUV. His friends called him Rav. Well, they would have, if he’d had any back at the lot. But he was new/used and the floor models didn’t speak to him much, even though his previous owner had returned him within 30 days. For a Prius. ”I think you’re mistaken. I’ve been parked in this space all night.”
The Jeep makes a grinding noise. “Look, I’m trying to help you out here. That spot belongs to a very snarly Camaro, and if he gets back and finds you here, you’re gonna need some cosmetic work.”
“Oh, dear,” says Rav, his engine sinking. “Did you… Did you know the Camaro?”
The Jeep goes eerily quiet. “What do you mean?”
“I saw him when Owner Hale was negotiating my price. The Camaro didn’t… I’m afraid he didn’t get much for the trade-in. Something about damage from a bear?”
“What.” Steam hisses from under the Jeep’s hood.
“I’m sorry,” Rav says. “Was he your friend? Listen, if you need a chassis to lean on, I’ve got a solid construction and—”
“Don’t talk to me,” the Jeep growls dangerously.
Rav goes quiet, and autolocks his doors to show his silence.
When the Jeep’s owner gets in a few minutes later and opens the driver’s door, the Jeep swings the door out a little further and dings Rav’s side.
What an asshole.
——
“What are we doing, what are we doing, oh my God, the manufacturers didn’t intend this! THIS VOIDS MY WARRANTY!”
“Shut up and put on some speed!” the Jeep honks. “They’re gaining on us!”
“Yes, I can see that, thank you,” Rav replies, tires beating a heavy tattoo against the asphalt. “I do have the latest Blind Spot Monitor!”
“Hope you have shock absorbers, too!” the Jeep honks gleefully, pulling ahead just as something slams into Rav’s left rear side, causing Owner Hale to swerve slightly and dig his claws into the steering wheel.
“What was THAT?” Rav says, engine revving in terror.
“God, you really are fresh off the lot,” the Jeep says. Its engine is purring. The freak of manufacturing must actually enjoy this.
“For the love of Toyota, my first owner used me to drive her kids to soccer practice! My tires aren’t even off-road!”
The Jeep gives a bellowing laugh that sounds like a backfire. “Welcome to the mean streets of Beacon Hills, fancy rims! Take the next left turn as hard as you can and pray your stabilizers work!”
——
Rav has been to the mechanic six times. There are stains in his upholstery that will never come out.
He and the Jeep have towed each other out of danger. He’s given the Jeep a battery jump twice. The Jeep took an impact made for him and never mentioned the new bumper.
The Jeep is still an asshole, but against all reason, Rav has grown fond of it. A little too fond of it: Lately, he’s been wishing Owner Hale would park them closer.
“Can I ask you a personal question?” he says.
“Shoot,” the Jeep replies lazily. They haven’t been chased by anything in nearly a week, and they’re resting while their owners are parked inside.
“Do… Do you prefer gear sticks or, erm, tailpipes?” Rav asks, flicking his windshield wipers, a nervous tic he hasn’t managed to shake since the factory.
There’s a hum from the Jeep’s engine, like it’s considering. “Both.”
“Ah.” That doesn’t really tell him much. “So, would you say you’re fun and flirty…?” Rav hedges. “Or sporty and masculine? Your, uh. Your make. I mean.”
“Dude, I’m a dude,” the Jeep honks angrily. “How could you not know?”
“I didn’t want to assume,” says Rav quickly. “You’re a lovely neutral powdery blue. You don’t see that color much as an option anymore.”
“Custom paint job,” the Jeep replies, tires puffing up in pride.
“It looks good on you,” Rav says. “And your make doesn’t really matter to me one way or the other. I’m a Crossover, after all.”
The Jeep gives an amused beep. “You know what, Ravvie, you’re not so bad.”
“Yes?” Rav asks.
“I mean, you’re still kinda prissy,” the Jeep continues.
“Wanting a wash and wax once a week is not prissy,” Rav bristles. “Just because dust and Bondo aren’t holding me together—”
“See, that right there. That’s why you’re okay. I don’t mind being in the spot next to you.”
“Really?” Rav asks.
“Don’t let it go to your pretty little grille,” the Jeep says, rolling his headlights. “You’ve still got a lot to learn.”
Rav settles more comfortably in his space, feeling warmth flood his drive train. “Want me to turn on Pandora and roll down the windows?”
“I could go for some mood music,” the Jeep says carefully. “I’ve got some, uh. I’ve got some real nice motor oil in the back that I’ve been saving.”
Very slowly, they both pop open their doors until the metal edges are touching.
——
Derek and Stiles come down about half an hour later.
“What the hell happened to our cars?” Stiles asks.
Derek shrugs and, when Stiles isn’t looking, pats his car on the hood.

The Bees' Knees: The Rape Culture Double Standard
Help me out here, tumblr.
Every day on tumblr (and on Twitter, and on Facebook), I see calls to end rape culture. Horror at what happened in Steubenville and what happens in other communities like Steubenville and doesn’t make national news.
And then I turn around and read books billed as…
Friendly reminder that not everyone is on the east coast or will be able to watch the episode tomorrow night. PLEASE TAG FOR SPOILERS.
Friendly reminder that as someone on the West Coast, I will be MIA on tumblr from the second the ep starts airing until I’ve finished watching it. No matter how many hours/days later that might be.
Doesn’t come on here until 4am Eastern & 1am Pacific. Plan on boycotting tumblr/twitter to be (hopefullly) spoiler free.
Reblogging for my non-East Coast friends.

And here’s a bunch of assholes dancing with Quidditch brooms…
Now I want to go dancing with Dobie. Damn it.

Thoughts upon rewatching Teen Wolf
I started my second watch of Teen Wolf this weekend while visiting my niece and her new baby. We only got through episode 4, so these are very preliminary thoughts:
1.) Stiles’ clothes are NOT all loose and baggy. In the first episode he’s wearing a T-shirt with a long-sleeved shirt over it, yes, but the T-shirt itself fits very nicely. Not skin-tight, but snug enough to see that there’s a body under there.
2.) Derek looks so young it hurts my heart. Maybe it’s the clean-shaven face, or the sneakers, or the generally lost look, but he looks like he could be very nearly the same age as Scott and Stiles.
3.) I like Scott less. This could also be the result of reading too much (is that a thing?) fanfiction, in which Scott is often portrayed as the bad best friend.
4.) I really need to see more Sheriff Stilinski. Or maybe I just need to see more of Linden Ashby. That one’s still up in the air. (P.S. Yay for age-appropriate crushes!)
5.) I don’t have a number five, it just seemed like I should have one more thing in the list.
I’ll check back in with more observations as I continue through the rewatch. Because I know how much my thoughts matter to everyone. ;)
Otter’s Writing Tips #2: Your Epithets Are Bad And You Should Feel Bad
Okay, so epithets. Let’s start with what they are so we can learn to avoid them like the motherfucking plague.
An epithet can be a nickname or a curse, but the context we’re talking about is where it’s both. (Lawlz.) This sort of epithet is essentially a descriptive phrase used in place of a person’s name. These are horrifyingly common in fan fiction and believe me when I tell you that if you over-use them — which you’re likely doing if you’re using them at all — you’re probably making your readers want to cry. So what exactly am I talking about here? I’ll give you an example:
Derek looked deeply into the younger teen’s eyes. The brunette licked his lips and leaned back against the wall, his gaze sweeping provocatively down the Alpha’s body, like he was assessing the older man’s physique and found it more than satisfactory.
So let’s break down why exactly this is SO TERRIBLE I WANT TO CRY.
An excellent explanation of what epithets are and when and when not to use them.
Well, folks, the great 2012-13 Hiatus is nearly over now. Together we have managed to not only survive the past 9 months, but we thrived through them. We wrote, we drew, we crafted. We created meta and gifsets and won polls and perhaps most importantly, we kept in touch with one another. We banded together, we connected, we made friends.
As Season 3 nears, we at the Sterek Campaign wanted to give you another chance to connect- both with one another and with the show we have all come to so dearly love. So it is with great delight that we are announcing our fandom-wide Teen Wolf Marathon Rewatch event! We are hereby cordially inviting you to rewatch Teen Wolf with us on Saturday, June 1st (season 1) and Sunday, June 2nd (season 2).
- What is this?
Starting at 10am EST on Saturday, the SC will be hosting chat HERE for a live rewatch of the first two seasons of Teen Wolf. Everyone who can is encouraged to watch the episodes from the MTV episodes list HERE. This will give MTV a chance to see that our fandom is still going strong and are ready to pick up watching season 3!
For those of you in fandom who are international viewers, the SC will be streaming the episodes on our UStream channel HERE. Due to the commercial interruptions being out of our control on the UStream, we still recommend that you watch on the MTV site if you’re capable of doing so, in order not to miss any scene.
- How will this work?
On June 1st, we’d like as many people as possible to boot up the MTV website and be prepared to press play with us as we begin a marathon rewatch of the seasons. We’ll make an announcement on our Tumblr when we are about to start our stream, and then we’ll kick back an enjoy chatting and watching Teen Wolf with fandom all around the world.
- When and where will this occur?
We will begin our rewatch at 10am EST (find your time zone HERE) on Saturday, June 1st. Episode 12 of Season 1 should wrap up just before 10pm EST. On Saturday, June 2nd, we will start at 10am with episode 1 of season 2, and the last episode should wrap up just before 10pm EST. Of course, you are welcome to rewatch any of the episodes on either of the days at any time!
Episodes can, again, be found here on the MTV site! We will also be streaming live for those of you who cannot watch through the MTV site (but please use the MTV site if you are able!)
We’ve tried to provide a few breaks for our stream viewers (and our admin that is doing the streaming for you guys). The schedule is tentative and may change, but we’ll keep this post updated!
- Who is invited?
Everyone! Whether you ship Sterek or not, you’re invited to our rewatch. We all love this show, and we are all excited to see it begin again, regardless of which region of the fandom we’re from!
