Teen Wolf art: Lydia Martin
So I started watching Teen Wolf. This picture is Lydia Martin. She screams a lot and is my favorite. She has lots of personality, is super smart, and is very self-interested (as opposed to a protagonist who's limited plotwise to Doing the Right Thing, i.e. Scott and Allison), and gets to do eerie creepy things that freak her out. She is oodles of fun to watch.
Please give me recs! Tell me where the hangouts and challenges are! Though I've heard this is a one pairing fandom - Y/N? Maybe I can bribe people for Lydia fic? Ooh, how about team fic?! There's got to be that, right?
I hear fandom has a lot of Derek. My favorite part of Derek Hale is his total failure at life and leadership. (He hopes all his pack babies' problems can be solved by TRYING HARDER or CARING MORE - and he's wrong and there are consequences. I ♥ consequences.) I am making a wild assumption that fic!Derek will be... competent and/or smooth, even, and that will make me sad. So sad. :(
Also, I WANT LYDIA. And yes, Lydia/Stiles. Or Lydia/anyone. And teamfic. And world building. Tell me -- is there hope?!

Well, I spend way too much time on tumblr. The tw fandom as I know it is mostly on tumblr as well. THat and on Ao3. IDEK where to even start reccing stuff bth, esp fics.
There's a pretty big main pairing, it's true, but that's NOT only what you can find. There are many many multishippers and while some pairings may be rar-ish you can find things that are just right for your. I swear! You just have to fill your dash with awesome people and you'll be fine. ;)
Allydia is pretty big. I love Allison a lot (s3 omg. I'm dying!) and I honestly can't tell if I like her or Lydia better. Or...gah, all the women ♥_♥
Btw, you may want to start from Jen's rec page. Scroll down aaaaall the way down and you'll find recs by pairings. Her taste is usually great so you can't go wrong with her fics (heads up! as far as her recs go? I've only checked the stereky ones). I usually read non Sterek-y fics that show up on my dash which is, like, every day. so there's that?
Btw, tw has awesome fanartists and graphics makers. And honestly? There are lots of things you may enjoy. Here, look at my allydia tag cos it's the least spoilery allydia (yes, it's Sterek-oriented. I'm sorryyyyyy. But). Gah, I can't find the person who was talking about all the lydia pairings just *yesterday*. Just my luck.
And fics. Ohmygod. Are you ready for pack!feels and puppy!piles? Because those? Are things that happen regularly. SO MANY GREAT FICS.
Oh man, I just checked the people I follow and I've JUST realized they usually don't have character-centric blogs so I'm out of luck there as well. Sorry. I'm not much help. I say if you find someone you like on tumblr check if they have a follow forever page or a blog roll. That's how I did it and somehow I ended up with a great dash.
AND NO OMG YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT FAILWOLF FRIDAYS. OMG! One of the biggest thing in fandom? Is failwolf!Derek. Actually there's a whole movement about it? Just...gah, check the tags "failwolf" and "failwolf friday" adn oh god! Julie/Halffizzbin hooked me up and I can't go back now. I have NO REGRETS!

Oh yeah, I can't choose. :( FYI, I left out some of my favorite blogs cos they're mostly sterek (and also fanart blogs) but omg, it actually felt like I was committing a crime. Still feels that way tbh. Also? They reblog awesome stuff so, idk...you guys need them? say the word and I'll link you.
Thing is, I started out looking for sterek-only blogs and somehow my dash is a mixed of things (still mostly tw-related) and IDK, i get Allison, Lydia, Erica, etc content without actually looking for it. So I have no idea if all the blogs mentioned above help you much? Since I didn't include some of my faves? Just a heads up. So maybe looking through my tags and find blogs from the things I reblogged? Maybe you'll find character-centric blogs that way? I'm NOT going to do that because I follow an embarrassing number of tw blogs already and I can't add more ^^'
PS: if you need fandom ship names, I'm here.

Re: ETA
...like my entire existence in SPN fandom was watching clips of the actors at cons. I didn't actually watch the show. Also I just saw this beautiful thing with Dad Argent and a moth? I don't even understand what was happen.
...I am so lost in this fandom.
Re: ETA
Yeah, I know the vid you're talking about. It was awesome! I can't find it rn cos I didn't reblog it (like I was tempted to reblog ALL the things related to this con and it was very hard to not cave in, but oh, there were so many posts adn I just...okay. You know when you're overwhelmed?). But give me a few and I'll find it. K?
Tyler imitating cats, um, okay I couldn't breathe! LOL
favorite swear words
Tyler Hoechlin's reaction to a fan giving him a book/gift
Tyler's reaction to another booklet (oh god I want that thing so much, omg!)
here, read this (about the boat tv guide clip) http://halewolfing.tumblr.com/post/60292535519/hoechlbeary-finn-now-that-ive-been-back-from
and especially this http://lonewolfed.tumblr.com/post/60266741714 which is taken from this vid omg http://youtu.be/IeROoF0gzrE (from 2:14 there's the thing about the sterek scene that Tyler H and Dylan pitched to Jeff. Before that, it's kinda spoilery? So IDK. Watch at your own risk? I still like hearing him talk about Derek) and this http://baby-bilinski.tumblr.com/post/60290924948/q-what-was-your-favourite-episode-to-shoot-and (vid linked inside)
http://finduilasclln.tumblr.com/post/60288488618/did-he-just-practically-call-dylan-the the vid is linked inside. How Derek (and Tyler obviously) sees Stiles
I need to show you aaaaaaaaaall the clips from comic con because Tyler H was paired up (HA!) with Dylan for most of the interviews and they're just SO PRECIOUS! But no, what am I saying. You should watch the whole panel? And all the interviews?? I swear this cast is even more perfect than SPN's *runs and hides*
PS: can you tell I have a thing for Tyler H?
Re: ETA
Oh btw? Apparently JR found out what shipping is at the con and he couldn't stop bringing it up. LOL
Re: ETA
not a vid. Just things the cast said
YAY Found the vid you wanted. here omg.
Just browse this. You'll find more. http://teenwolfgossip.tumblr.com/tagged/wolfsbane2013
Aaaand I've got to go now. it's 3 am andI have to get up in 3 hours. hahaha.
Re: ETA
Tyler wants Derek to win a fight.
The bite clip okay I'm done.

Well, i'm not an expert or anything. Been there myself for just a few months. The way I started? I just run a tag search (after you log in, it shows on your dash right at the top?). So say you're a fan of Allison, you type allison and posts tagged like that will show up. You see one you like? You reblog it. And if you like the blog of the person you reblogged it from, you can just "follow" them. There's a button somewhere (excuse me if I'm vague, but I'm using a tumblr addon, called xkit, which is awesome. It lets you reblog/queue stuff easily, it adds functionalities etc) so I don't actually remember how tumblr looks like without it. *facepalm*
Anyway, you can track tags too. After you run a tag search, right in the search box you'll see a "track" button. Clicking on it, you'll track the tag so whenever someone posts a new thing, you'll see exactly how many new posts there are. You click on the tracked tag (for me, it shows up on the right sidebar) and you'll start browsing that tag.
Basically, all the posts that the people you follow reblog/post show up in your dash (that's where you do all the work, tbh). It's sort of like a friendslist? Except mutual follows are not easy to get. I mean, here or on LJ? If you friended someone, chances are they would friend you back. On tumblr? That's more rare imho. Unless you start making friends, which...well, it's harder than it was here imho. Tumblr doesn't exactly facilitate communication, you're right.
Oh wait. there are unwritten rules about tumblr. like you do NOT repost something. You reblog it, leaving whatever caption the original poster wrote. People sometimes add comments under the captions like you said; others prefer to comment on their tags. Me? I'd like to go with the first especially cos the OP can easily see what you wrote and reply back, but I always think I'm intruding? So I usually rant in my tags. Heh. There are more rules, only original post show up in tracked tags (say you upload your fanart for the first time and tag it "lydia" that post will show up in the tracked tag "lydia". But say 200 other people reblog your post, tagging it lydia. Well, those won't show up in the tracked tag. I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear here).
Anyway, this how I built my dash. I browsed a tag > found a blog I liked it > followed it> checked the reblogs there> checked the sources of the reblogs and if I liked them I followed them.
and idk, maybe I got lucky with the first few ppl I followed.
