#Jackson creeps me out but hes so goddamn funny (laughing at you than with you kinda way)

[wtfwhy]

Saw this: @greatwerewolfbeliever

I would've replied in the notes, but this is my side blog and I haven't figured out how to comment with this and not my main account? Idk it's weird and it's made conversations confusing in the past so...

Anyway, you're a lot more polite than that other person (see my other reblog) so first off thanks. Secondly, I will emphasize right off the bat that I am as Pro-Stiles as I am Pro-Scott, none of my arguments will be anti-Stiles even if he is perhaps in the wrong for specific instances. Honestly I'm not anti anyone expect like Kate (it's ON SIGHT for her 🤺) or maybe Jackson? (I haven't decided yet...) And Theo probably 👀 (yeah I know he gets redeemed but like the guy creeps me out 😂) then the obvious villains and such like Matt, Gerard, etc. (Info on that in tags 👇)

Anyway, I too disagree with everything you said. Here are my reasons...

About Scott ditching Stiles for Allison: I do have quite a few thoughts on this because after my first watch through I kinda agreed with this argument (not necessarily as a hate Scott thing, but generally as a bad move), but after watching the first two season a few times I've kinda realized...that's not really true?

Like kinda!! It did happen! I'm obviously not going to lie, but it wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Forgive me if I miss details because I rewatched it like a month ago and I was cursed with shitty memory disease.

Ok so, first season. Some of the scenes where Scoot is being an asshole to Stiles is because of werewolf anger. This is not something he can control yet and therefore not a good argument, I can't recall rn if Scott ever directly apologizes but even if he didn't, that's 1) stupid teenage stuff, 2) the writers might've forgotten, or 3) They're really close and the apology could've been an unspoken thing. And they were small instances in comparison to the rest of the show where their friendship is super strong so whatever. Again this is assuming Scott didn't apologize at all which I can't remember.

Otherwise, when not being under the effect of the full moon, there's only one other instance in my mind that sticks out, when Scott and Allison skip school. This isn't inherently Scott 'abandoning' Stiles or whatever. It's just Scott going on a date. But afterwards, they get into a fight because Stiles dad was hurt by that random ass mountain lion. This confuses me because, like how was Scott supposed to do anything? And he was there when it happened anyway...but otherwise Scott was really remorseful and they made up afterwards.

And honestly, just think of it like this, Scott has gotten his (presumably) first girlfriend and is deeply in love. He is also a teenager. He and Stiles have been friends for years and Scott just met Allison, it makes sense that Scott would want to spend a lot of time with her! And as far as I can remember he never really does it at the expense of Stiles. If there is an example you would like to share, please do. I can't think of anything in season 2 about this, but do remember that Scott and Allison were having an epic ✨Romeo and Juliet✨ romance. So he was quite busy, but guess what, he and Stiles still hung out!!! Their friendship is the main relationship of the show afterall.

This isn't really supposed to be about Allison, but I'll jump on that real quick. First off, saying she did those things and implying that Scott shouldn't have 'chosen' her because she was bad, doesn't really work because she did that like two seconds before they broke up in the climax of the season finale, well after any potential abandoning of Stiles. Also, obviously she was in the wrong in that situation (VERY wrong, Erica and Boyd deserved so much better), but her motivation made sense and she does regret it later. Everything bad that happens in Teen Wolf can be traced back to Gerard, but that's another topic lol!

Now, before this post gets absurdly long, I'll address the second half of your argument by asking, where?? When did that happen???? Scott very much paid attention to the rest of the pack as well as Kira. He was training Malia, mentoring Liam, was besties with Stiles, etc. And Scott was hypervigilant with Stiles in 3b, especially when they found out about the Nogitsune.

The only thing I could think of was the rave scene where Stiles is telling Scott about the key. Scott ends up going off with Kira instead. BUT, that only happens because that one girl (Kaitlyn I think) comes up to Stiles and distracts him. Scott literally told Stiles he would drop his date with Kira to go investigate. This date, mind you, with the first girl he has liked since Allison and he and Kira aren't even dating yet, this is the perfect time to woo her. He chose Stiles over Kira, but Stiles ended up walking away. It was a cute scene, I really liked it.

And one last thing, I'm not saying YOU said this, you didn't so I don't know if you feel this way. This part is more general cause it's something I see quite often (particularly from Sterek shippers of course). The argument that Derek was a better Alpha than Scott. This is so genuinely stupid I cannot help but laugh. Derek was an Alpha in season 2 and 3a, and honestly in 3a he wasn't that bad at being an alpha, but he was mostly trying to fix his fuck ups from season 2 lol. He was such a garbage Alpha in season 2 it's insane. Now, I will quickly say, I'M NOT ANTI-DEREK, I like him and I think making him really shitty in 2 was a good choice (and sometimes really funny, like man admitted to trying to kill Jackson ahsjksk) He's sympathetic, genuinely super sweet and nice when he's not bullying Stiles, etc. But it was at a direct result of his trauma and what Peter did in season 1 (and we later find out he was trying to prepare for the Alpha pack). He wanted to get a pack, strength. I get it. But oooh boy did he go about it wrong. I could really deep dive into this (maybe in another post? 🤔) and talk about all three of his betas, but this is long enough and not the point of the original message (sorry) so I'll just end with, Boyd needed a book club, not to become a werewolf! Derek please get adult friends!! Stay out of the high school you don't work there!!! It's creepy lmao 😅

Have to rant about Teen Wolf for a bit (anti-sterek, complaining about anti-scott mccall, pro-stiles)

Why are people upset that Sterek was never canon?? Like it's already confusing that so many people ship it like it's a normal ship. Like guys, STILES IS A CHILD, DEREK IS AN ADULT. Yeah, Stiles is an adult at the end of the show, but they met when he was like 15/16, Christ at that age I couldn't even image dating someone 17 or 18, much less 25!! (His age is a little unclear but it's around that) (and yes I know about his age recon, it's irrelevant because he was originally 19ish and that's still an adult/child relationship) That's a whole decade age gap. If they had met when stiles was already 18+, sure, still kinda weird but fine. But that's not what happened.

To put it in perspective, I bet a lot of you think the Kate and Young Derek kiss scene was gross and weird (at least hopefully you do) Google says she was about 29 when that happened and Derek was turned 15. That's a 14 year difference. Now you might be complaining, 'the sterek age gap is smaller than that!' well it's about 9ish years and that's STILL GROSS

And on young Derek, he was around Stiles' age (1-2 year difference) and it's such a drastic age difference from normal Derek, right? So if young Derek is considered a child who shouldn't be kissed by an adult, why is it ok when it's Stiles? And it also just shows how large of an age gap they have when Derek is around Stiles' age and he's literally a baby if that makes any sense.

They reconned Derek's age because if he was 19 and she was like 27-28 then he would've been 13 when they got together and she would've been 22ish. Huge pedo issue there obviously. And guess what, thats the same age gap as Sterek.

And some of you might say, 'well other shows have canon adult/child relationships!' that's true, but either it's criticized in the narrative or Pretty Little Liers (I really like that show but WTF was up with all the pedo ships???? Especially AriaxEzra) and just because a lot of things do it doesn't make the thing ok, for example, shipping Sterek.

They don't even really have any romantic chemistry, like their dynamic was funny but most of it was Derek literally hating on Stiles. Like if you're going to ship a morally dubious ship, 1) at least have it be an interesting ship? They're so boring together 🙄 and 2) own up to it!!! Most of y'all act like Derek wouldn't get thrown in jail if he was into stiles like that

Personally I like to think after some nice character development, Derek comes to see both Stiles and Scott as little brothers, but unfortunately I've become so tainted by the onslaught of inescapable sterek content that even then with a very cute, platonic relationship seems wrong, which is stupid but my brain has now blacklisted any fan content with either of them in it now...

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON SCOTT HATE, genuinely what is WRONG with you people?? He's the purest, sweetest character in the entire show! And sure, Stiles is more interesting as a character, but Scott is a really good protagonist. Good comparison I thought of is how in ALAB everyone is obsessed with Zuko even tho Aang is the main character. The only difference is that for some reason a big percentage of the fandom decided to shit on Scott for no reason.

Main 'reasons' I've seen:

Scott is a bad friend

- When???? Where? The only time I could kinda see that is in season 1, but think about it like this, he's 16 (A CHILD) and not only is in love for the first time, but has to deal with all the werewolf/alpha stuff that went down in that season. He's busy, he's going through it. And yeah Stiles was very involved and was doing his best to help, but Scott can't be in a million places at once. Guys, normal kids are worse friends than Scott ever was and are still good people, cause it happens sometimes. Are you constantly think about your bestie when you have a million other things going on? Probably not! And it wasn't even that bad because Scott did keep stiles in the loop 90% of the time!!! Y'all actually like Scott was Gon in the chimera ant arc 🙄

His argument with Stiles in season 5

- Was Stiles having a rough time? Yeah, absolutely. Was he in the right? Yeah. But was Scott also really going through it?? Definitely, boy was struggling. Not only does this kid have the weight of the world on his shoulders all the goddamn time, but there was the whole mess they were dealing with, Hayden was dying, he and Liam were arguing, he was having such bad anxiety his asthma was coming back... Man was not in a good headspace.

Coupled that with the very specific way that Theo lied to him (let's be honest, it really does sound like something Stiles would do for his dad), and the miscommunication of Stiles not denying that something did happen, Scott believing that it was more murder than self defense makes a lot of sense to me. And when they do finally talk it out, it's really wholesome and Scott is not only really understanding, but apologetic.

Also, again, real relationships have misunderstandings and lack of good communication all the goddamn time. This doesn't make someone a bad person or a bad friend. FICTIONAL CHARACTERS CAN HAVE FLAWS AND MAKE MISTAKES WITHOUT BEING BAD PEOPLE!!!

Really sorry this is so long and probably has mistakes in it but I was mad and it's late lol

It review

27 years ago, a horrific event happened, one that disturbed and disgusted people everywhere and changed the course of human history… that event was the release of the godawful miniseries adaptation of Stephen King’s massive doorstopper horror tale It, a miniseries that was lighter on scares than a Care Bears movie and had precisely one adult actor who was even trying… that actor being Tim Curry, who as Pennywise was delightfully, deliciously hammy. Tim Curry was the one sole redeeming element though, because between butchering the book, leaving out a lot of good stuff, and having the best effects a cheap TV budget can afford, this series just fucking blows. With how horrendously unscary this is (despite what people who were five when they saw this will tell you) and how piss-poor the adaptation was, is there any conceivable way to get It adapted properly into something that will impress audiences instead of make them laugh at how crappy and rushed it is?

I think the box office numbers of the latest attempt to adapt the novel should give you a good idea of the answer.

It, the 2017 movie, is easily one of the best Stephen King adaptations ever made. It makes changes here and there, but still manages to keep all the elements of the book – the unnerving atmosphere, the feeling of helplessness, the camaraderie between the Losers – and make a novel that just seems so dauntingly unfilmable come to life. Well, half of the novel anyway; this only covers the time the Losers encounter Pennywise as children in the 80s.

So how does this tale of terror unfold? It begins with little Georgie, out playing in the rain with a paper sailboat… a sailboat that slips down a storm drain and into the sewers. Thankfully for Georgie, a nice clown named Pennywise was in the sewer and got the boat for him! Yay! Not-so-thankfully for Georgie, Pennywise rips his arm off and drags him down into the sewer as he screams for his brother! Not yay! Of course, his brother Bill doesn’t know this, and so when summer comes he and his group of pals – the awkward Jewish boy Stan, the nervous and panicky Eddie, and the loudmouthed joker Richie – decide to start investigating. Along the way, the Losers get the help of the tough-as-nails girl Beverly, the chubby Ben, and the black kid Mike, and together the Losers start looking in to the disappearing children… only to come across their worst fears, and sometimes a very creepy clown. Can these kids survive their summer and get to the bottom of the mystery… or will they float too?

The most important part of It is not the killer clown (though I cannot stress how important he is, and we’ll get to him shortly), the most important part is the rapport and camaraderie of the Losers. And here, in this movie… these kids really sell it to you that they’re friends, that they love each other, and that they’re always gonna do the right thing even if they’re scared. Bill and Bev especially get plenty of focus and development, with Bev even being the first kid to really face her fears and Bill, being Georgie’s brother, driving the plot and acting as the leader of the bunch. But most of the other kids are well-done as well, with Ben being entertainingly charming, Eddie being amusingly energetic and paranoid (think Double D from Ed, Edd n Eddy), and especially Richie with his constant joking and lewd comments; he was easily the funniest character in the movie. The weak links are, sadly, Stan and Mike. Stan barely does anything except be kind of cowardly, and it seems a lot of his hesitant moments are foreshadowing his likely eventual fate of suicide (which is how he died in the book and miniseries, though maybe things can go better for him here). Mike, on the other hand, has a lot of his role usurped by Ben, who takes up his role of telling the Losers about Old Derry and the town’s history. Mike’s not bad or anything, but he doesn’t contribute much overall, though thankfully the director has said this will be rectified in the sequel. Even with those issues, you never really doubt all these kids are friends and have a special bond with one another.

Now, for the other big element of this story: Pennywise. Expectations were high; the one thing everyone can agree upon is that Tim Curry did a fantastic job bringing life to an otherwise shitty miniseries. He had some pretty big clown shoes to fill, so how did Bill Skarsgard do? He fucking NAILED IT. Pennywise is as creepy and unsettling as he should be, at times his feral, animalistic nature shining through the thin facade of niceness he puts on. Really though, this Pennywise doesn’t bother much with any pretense of being nice and friendly as far as we see; sure, he’s nice at first to Georgie, but even Georgie is creeped out. Pennywise here is a sick, twisted tormentor who spends every waking moment filling the kids with paranoia and fear, fattening them up so he can devour them. Skarsgard being 6’4” makes Pennywise all the more horrifying and intimidating, as does his eerie ability to swivel his eyes in two different directions… meaning Pennywise is not only watching the kids, but YOU as well. He is the Heath Ledger Joker to Tim Curry’s Jack Nicholson Joker, a terrifying monster compared to the violent jester. Somehow, they even made one of the most absurd aspects of the story, the Deadlights, into something truly horrifying… and it comes right after the funny dance from all those memes! Talk about mood whiplash! My only issue is that aside from jumpscares, good jumpscares mind you, Pennywise doesn’t get to show off his personality as much as I’d have liked. He does get a few really good scenes, particularly the one with Georgie, the one in the old house, and the final confrontation, but other than that he’s mostly just preying on the kids and being disturbing. This isn’t a huge issue I take with the film or Skarsgard’s portrayal or anything, so don’t misunderstand, and there’s gonna be backstory for Pennywise in the sequel, so as it stands this is some very good setup for what’s to come.

There is one other element that actually was well done against all odds: Georgie. Georgie establishes so well from the opening scene just how much he loves his brother, and it makes what you know will happen to him all the more tragic… and when it does, it’s a punch in the gut. But he pops up throughout the film as something Pennywise uses to torment Bill. This would be corny in the hands of anyone else, but goddamn did Jackson Robert Scott do a great job. He’s one of the best child actors I’ve ever seen, changing so well to suit the scene, be it his sweet charming little boy of the opening to the monstrous, decaying illusion crafted by Pennywise to torment Bill. Scott has a good career ahead of him with an acting job this good on his resume.

As for the story, they did a good job of updating it and editing it so that it maintains the spirit of the original and keeps the atmosphere and characterization intact while cutting out some unnecessary shit. For instance, Patrick Hockstetter’s role is even more minor here than in the book, and we don’t have to see him give Henry a handjob in the junkyard after lighting farts on fire, so there’s a plus. The updating of the setting to the 80s was a good choice, as it also freshens up the characters to make them more tolerable, particularly Richie who here makes actual funny comments instead of doing racist caricature voices. And obviously, I would be a fool to not point out just how much I do not miss the “Sewergy” scene that happens at the end of the book, where the Losers run a train on Bev in the sewer so they can all escape the lair of It. I love Stephen King, but I think he went a bit too far at some points in the coked-up haze that was his time in the 80s.

This film is, shockingly, a good horror film in this day and age. Out of every King adaptation involving the supernatural, this is probably my favorite, as well as the one that stays closest to the source material in the ways that matter. The kids are all excellent, there’s great humor, mostly great scares, and a Pennywise that truly lives up to the terror of King’s novel. It’s about damn time this book got this sort of treatment… and we only had to wait 27 years for it to happen after the really lame first adaptation. 27 years… what a nice in-joke.

The bar is set pretty high for the sequel; it has high expectations for it, especially with what little we know so far. But the fact Mike is gonna get more characterization and Pennywise is gonna get more screentime and there’s going to be backstory for the eponymous monster gives me hope; if they can just get a cast of adults who can showcase the same level of friendship as the kids in the first film, things will be perfect. I have faith, something I never thought I’d say about a Stephen King adaptation’s sequel in this day and age. Hell, the fact a Stephen King adaptation is this popular just warms my heart.

Let’s just hope we don’t have to wait another 27 years for another good one after part two is done.

GOT7 Hogwarts Moodboard AU Introductory Post

Kunpimook Bhuwakul (Bambam) : Slytherin

Third Year | 10″ Sycamore, White River Monster Spine, Springy | Member of the Silver Spears | Dove (Patronus) | Half Blood | Metamorphmagus (special ability) | Magical Theory, Charms, Transfiguration (best subjects) | Jackson Wang, Mark Tuan, & Im Jaebum (best friends) | Kim Yugyeom (Boyfriend)

Extra AF

This boy is just doing too much. All the time. For no reason other than to just be doing it.

Most people call him Bammie

Kunpimook is a mouthful - he also won’t really respond to it, mostly because sometimes he forgets it’s his name because nobody calls him that. Like, what are you even doing, are you new here!? “Kunpimook? Hello!? Kunpimook? BAMBAM!?” “What? Were you talking to me? Call me by my name then, idiot.”

Cute AF

Bammie also serves looks like nobody’s business. Probably the most fashion forward wizard in the goddamn country, okay?

Which is probably why Bammie likes being a metamorphmagus so much. He can change his hair, eyes, and facial features at will to basically whatever he wants.

Sometimes he uses that advantage to make himself look older. His hyungs call him out on his bullshit every time, though. “I’m at least ten years older than you!” “Yah! I will smack you into last night.” <-- Jinyoung, probably.

Sassy AF

He’s also obsessed with keeping up with the latest celebrity trends. Wizarding or Muggle world - he does not care. His favorite thing to do is piss off purebloods with muggle trends.

Smartass AF

Refuses to work out. As far as he’s concerned that shit is annoying.

Legs for days - like where TF does he put them half the time, nobody knows.

Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t recognize him. He seriously loves to use his ability to mess with people.

Bammie loves to invent spells. He excels in Magical Theory and outside of creating his own fashion line when he leaves Hogwarts (because that’s happening one way or another), he really wants to create spells and charms. He’s good at it, too.

Meme face AF

On the one hand Bammie can be a very mature kid, especially since he’s only a third year.

On the other hand, he’s a little shit and he enjoys giving his hyungs premature gray hair.

This boy is in love with Kim Yugyeom LET ME TELL YOU.

Friendship Goals

Relationship Goals

Broship Goals

OTP Goals

You name it - YugBam has already taken the title for it.

They’re so freaking adorable it’s not even funny.

Jinyoung and Mark love to embarrass them by giving them fake sex talks  over breakfast.

Bammie holds a special place in Jackson’s heart. Jackson will purposely mess up Bammie’s hair, Bammie will then tell Jackson he’s an old fatass with no legs, Jackson will threaten to hang him up by his toes and beat him like a pinata and Bammie will retort with, “You can’t even reach that high.”

Two peas in a pod, those two.

Seriously though, Bammie is so in love Yugyeom. It’s so cute. All fluttery and what not.

It makes JJProject wanna vomit...but in a good way. Sort of.

Protected AF

You touch one of Jinyoung’s children and you’re going to die.

That being said you so much as look at any of Bammie’s friends sideways and he will concoct the most elaborate payback and you will suffer.

Don’t forget this boy IS in Slytherin and he is NOT to be trifled with, peasant.

He is typically a people pleaser but Bammie is one of the most ambitious kids in the school. He knows what he wants and he’s gonna go after it and if you’re in his way you’ve got two seconds to move before he forcibly does it for you.

He’s smart, too. So don’t think he can’t.

Jokes for days.

He’s not as funny as Jackson, but he sure as shit tries. When they get together you either can’t breathe because you’re laughing or you’re eternally in facepalm mode pretending you don’t know them. There’s no in between.

Bammie has great grades. He’s a Slytherin and he’s got shit to do, and he’s not about to let an F get in the way of his dreams.

He’s not insane about it, though like SOME people are YESHEISREFERRINGTOMARKBUTWHATEVER.

He has, on more than one occasion, incurred the wrath of Tuan (I fucking love you if you get this reference btw) by bothering him during exam time. They’ll be in the library, Mark will be hunched over his study notes with coffee in his free hand and ignoring the Earth and everything on it. Jackson will be in the room with in, being smart and actually leaving him alone but studying next to him nonetheless just so he can be close, and he’ll see Bammie creep in out of the corner of his eye.

“Bammie...don’t.”

“Oh, come on, hyung. Look at him. He’s got crazy eyes.”

“They’re cute crazy eyes. Don’t bother him.”

“Come on, it’ll be funny!”

“He’s going to kill you - you know that right?”

Bammie acknowledges this, but he is determined. While Mark is focused solely on the chaos that is his study space Bam will move Jackson so he’s out of Mark’s eyesight and morph himself to look like Jackson. His ‘prank’ is in motion.

He’ll come up behind Mark and practically yank the coffee cup from his hand. This will certainly get Mark’s attention...probably not the kind of attention you want from him though.

Looking as Jackson, Bammie will say, “Kisses MarkiePooh!” and puff his lips out like a fish.

“I will give you literally three seconds to give that back to me.”

“Aw, but Markipooh, you wouldn’t hurt your boyfriend, would you?”

“You think I don’t know what my boyfriend looks like? One.”

“What do you mean? I just wanted a kiss.”

“Three.”

“What? You missed tw--”

Mark has his coffee cup back in his hand and poor Bammie is on his ass turning an odd shade of maroon as the hex forces his features back to normal.

“Good one, baby.” Jackson tells him, knowing Mark is already back on Planet Bananas. “To be fair, I told you not too, punk.”

“Who are you calling punk, half pint!?”

Bam is going to get himself killed via his hyungs one of these days. I’m telling you. That’s basically his school year in a nutshell - trying not to die from pissing them off.

They love the crap out of him though. So he’s safe...most of the time.

Trust me, you want Bammie on your side. For one thing, he’s a great ally to have and not somebody you want for an enemy.

For another, he’ll totally fix that horrid fashion sense of yours.

“Oh my god, if I see you wear those awful shoes one more time...”
