Lydia Promo and Teen Wolf
p1013:
I’m going to bust out my soap box here and speak for a moment, then move on with my life.
I like Lydia. I think she has the potential to be an incredibly strong, confident member of the pack, who users her intelligence to kick ass and take names. Smart is sexy, and she’s got both in spades.
However, her role in last season was as Jackson’s girlfriend and as a victim to Peter’s...

I hope everyone in the Teen Wolf fandom can take a moment to reconsider Allison Argent. This may not be the most graceful wording. But I just hope to dissolve an inch of the hatred or at least develop a better understanding of it. Feel free to respond, whether or not you agree.

Queer Advocacy and Slash Fandom: Then and Now
lierdumoa:
Most advocates for queer rights would agree that we suffer from a lack of positive representation in the media, and that prejudices within the media both reflect, and contribute to prejudices in society at large.
In order for people to hold prejudice against queerness they must first believe that queerness is abnormal/wrong/bad. In order for people to believe that, they must first...

suaine:
The last couple of days I’ve been thinking a lot about representation and what I mean when I talk about it, what others mean, what different types there are, and how maybe some of the arguments we’re having are because we’re not really working with the same assumptions based on vocabulary.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
wishonastarkid:
I will admit that in the first few episodes, I liked Matt. Even in the re-watch I have to remind myself constantly - the boy’s a killer. Stop falling for his charm, it’s an aspect of his sociopathy. In ‘Fury’ we get to see Matt’s own justification for his rampage. What I find interesting in Matt’s retelling of events is that the first murder was actually committed by the kanima...

I think Allison’s new love interest may be Stiles.
The spoiler said that Allison (other than Scott) “may or may not get a new love interest, and it may or may not be someone we’ve already met.”
Well, it’s not Jackson. It’s not Matt. It’s not Danny. There is a 90% chance it’s not Lydia (but, you never know). It’s not Derek, because Derek is getting a new lady (Haley Webb, probably...

There was a post on my dash earlier asking why people want to burn Kate at the stake but love Peter because “they’re both crazy ass murderers.”
That is SO WRONG I’m actually so angry about it. Let me explain to you why they’re different.
First off: I’m not excusing anything Peter did. I’m not. I’m not saying he’s an innocent lamb or anything like that. Okay.

On Stiles' Assholery
spuzz:
I’ve been thinking a lot about this post lately.
I don’t know you guys, I keep seeing this post around and I didn’t want to add anything to the commentary for various reasons, mainly that I love the OP, agree that Scott is a hero who cares and I love the OP. But I’m having a really big problem with where this post has now gone kind of encapsulated by those tags. Stiles is not an antihero...

Scott's Pack vs. Derek's Pack: a cagematch
spuzz:
Or Scott’s pack vs Derek’s pack: why one is a functioning democracy and one is a dictatorship. Why one fails and the other thrives.
Because of the lack of background information we have and how Jeff, unfortunately, tends to cut out a lot of really important scenes and info from the show a lot of this is my conjecture and interpretation. So…there’s that.

Allison Argent has a really interesting relationship with herself. She doesn’t really have a clue who she is or who she wants to be. Even before all the supernatural stuff gets involved, we’re given a pretty clear picture of...

Teen Wolf and the Anchor Concept
verstehen1:
Let’s start by examining the whole anchor concept. In S2 (though the first time we hear it is S1, from Stiles, IIRC), Derek explains the concept as something inside that reminds the werewolf of being human. We know Derek’s anchor is anger, Isaac’s anchor is the memory of his father before he turned into an abuser, and Scott’s anchor is Allison.
Okay, so, here’s the thing. Allison...

The Actual "Faults" of Scott McCall - Part 1
11ismyfavorite5ever:
I really hate Scott hate.
One of the reasons I really hate Scott hate is because it’s generally based on a complete lack of understanding of his character, as well as a bunch of fanon that has nothing to do with the character I see on my screen when I watch the show. (Also because people forget about his good parts, but I’ll get to that).
Thing is, if I saw people getting...

spuzz:
That the reason he is so in love with Lydia is because she’s an enigma to him. He doesn’t know anything about her except that he knows she likes math and she’s pretty and popular. She’s a mystery, she’s full of questions for him to need answers to. I think once they become friends (and please dear God Jeff don’t fuck this up for me), that romantic infatuation will naturally just dissolve...

Teen Wolf's unreliable narrator
ragandboneshopoftheheart:
Teen Wolf is basically, structurally, a mystery show, but unlike most contemporary murder-mystery-type TV shows, it’s not a procedural. The mysteries being unravelled are outside the jurisdiction of the police, too much for them to handle, and there isn’t just one case at any given moment: there are always multiple mysterious things going on that the protagonists don’t...

Teen Wolf and Cancer
bettiebloodshed:
There has been something that has been bothering me a lot recently, regarding the way cancer has been treated in the Teen Wolf fandom. Specifically, Stiles’s mom, and his relationship to the disease because of it. Let me preface this: This is my own very personal opinion on the situation. I am not looking to upset or shame anyone. I’m so very proud of this fandom and the people...

Teen Wolf character name meanings and highlighted...
unicornachos:
Scott: From the Old English meaning “a fierce warrior” also meaning, “to fight”. Melissa: From the Greek “meli”, meaning “honey”; hence, “honey bee”. The name is related to Millicent. McCall: On the Scottish west coast, the McCall family was born among the ancient Dalriadan clans. Their name comes from the Gaelic surname of Scottish origin, which means “son of the battle chief”.

alphaunni:
[discussion of isms, mentions of rape and abuse and appropriation of rape, consent issues, anxiety, self harm, triggers; link heavy] Inclusivity is a foreign concept to the Teen Wolf fandom. There’s this implication that fandom lives in a vacuum. Have to break it to you, even a show about werewolves can still hold lots of problematic elements, including being covertly and overtly...

I do ship Derek and Stiles, they’re my Teen Wolf otp and I love them to bits.
But if you think the introduction of a female character who you know literally nothing about, who may or may not interfere with the nonexistence relationship bliss of your noncanon gay otp is a reason to jump on the misogyny train to Douchebagville, you’re probably doing it wrong.

Cure for Lycanthropy?

Party Guessed: The Implications of Stiles'...

“It’s all you. It’s you, Stiles. You killed your mother, you hear me? You killed her, and now you’re killing me.”
You know, there’s been a lot of fascinating conversation over that line, and with good reason. There are plenty of discussions to be made about Stiles’ misplaced guilt over causing his mother’s death and his fear of doing the same to his father. And there are plenty of...

Hunting is a Culture. The Code is a Religion.
saintdoriangray:
I just. The Hunter Code as a religious allegory. Can I just write everything on this ever?
The Code was made to protect humans from the monsters that surround us. In the same way, organized religion was made to reconcile human sense of mortality with the human sense of goodness. For religion, the monster is purposelessness, is the recognition of mortality. Although neither of...

Why is Derek an anti-hero? (and Scott the hero) →

The Scott Paradox … boils down to this: I just don’t understand why the show continually positions Derek as a villainous character, and yet lauds far worse behaviour in Scott.

Chris is a really interesting character to me, because he’s someone who does a lot of bad things in the name of what he believes is right. He’s a very moral person, but not necessarily a good person. I mean, this is a guy who threatens teenagers with violence. This is a guy who’s willing to kill people. Who bullies a perfectly innocent high school principal. Who is generally...

I really loved the Scallison dynamic in the first season. I mean, no surprise there. It’s pretty hard not to love them. Their infectious charm practically jumps off the screen.

Derek Hale’s sense of humor
teenwolfmythbusters:
Throughout the series it has been made clear that Stiles is the main comic relief on the show. Overshadowed by his funny one-liners and excessive sarcasm almost each of his lines delivers, the fandom seems to forget that Stiles is not the only character of Teen Wolf with a sense of humor.
This collective memory loss has taken its (particularly heavy) toll on Derek.

doctorscienceknowsfandom:
— The credits, which begin with the words “Tyler Posey”.
Tyler is the lead, so Scott is the hero, he is officially the center of the story. Because this is American TV, the master arc of the series *must* be that Scott becomes an Alpha, probably in Season 5.
From a Doylist perspective, this is why Derek is doing such a piss-poor job of being an Alpha. He’s living in...
