People seem to forget that Stiles literally refused to be a message for Scott. Gerard beat him to send a message to Scott, Stiles knew this. So when Scott wordlessly questions the marks on Stiles' face, Stiles, also wordlessly, assures him he's fine and that it's nothing.

Honestly, Scott should have pushed because that was not nothing, that looked incredibly painful. But a lot was going on so it makes sense he didn't push for answers. Still, Stiles never gets any credit for this. He could have easily went to Scott about it but he chose not to. He knew Scott would feel guilty, and even after finding out that Scott basically double crossed Gerard and Derek, Stiles still didn't say a word.

He didn't want Scott to feel guilty for something he couldn't change, he didn't want to be the reason Scott gave in, and he didn't want Scott to be hurt by the fact that Stiles was used to attempt to force Scott to comply with Gerard.

Sounds like a good friend to me. Not saying either of them were never a bad friend to each other at times, but damn, Stiles really took one for the team there.

It seems like he never told anyone, that the only people who knew were Chris, Erica, and Boyd. And only one of them lived throughout the whole series.

Stiles lies to protect his friends and family. Stiles bottles up trauma and feelings to protect his friends and family. Stiles shows he cares in an unhealthy (for himself) way, and yet all some people see is a lying liar who lies.

I feel like Stiles should get a little less hate for lying because it's almost always to protect others.

teen wolf - i think i'm losing

what if I should be losing everything now I think I'm losing everything

[bericas]

you would rather be with her, hearing the light buzz of her snoring, watching her sleep.

[dreadpirateroe]

in my wishing erica didnt die hours again

[handsofred]

Erica: I still don't get the difference between the two.

Isaac: Neither do I.

*Peter is pinching his nose and looking so pained.*

Stiles: Alright, listen up you heathens.

Erica: Hey!

Stiles: Right, Art Nouveau is beautiful, lots of swirls and colours, while Art Deco is more straight lines and block colours.

Isaac: I still don't...can't picture it.

*Stiles groans this time*

Peter: We're wasting our time, they won't get it.

Stiles: Shut up, they will.

*Peter glares*

Stiles: Okay, let's try it this way, you have both seen Lord of the Rings, yes?

Erica & Isaac: Yes.

Stiles: Awesome. Then, think of it this way, Art Nouveau looks like something that the Elves would create.

Erica: Oh I can picture that now.

Stiles: Great! So, Art Deco, think of things made by the Dwarves.

Isaac: That actually makes really good sense...why didn't you just say that from the start?

Peter: Holy Christ....I just can't...

*Peter stalks away*

Pairing: Erica Reyes/Lydia Martin

Words: 669

Written for @teenwolfrarepairevents August Character of the Month and @torturedpoetskywalker prompt: Post-Canon Moving In Together or Going to the same college together

In the past month, Lydia has found her groove at MIT. She's gotten used to the new environment, new objectives, new faces of going to college. Which is why she's taken aback when she walks into the main library one day and spots a familiar blonde.

“Erica?”

Erica looks up from her laptop. “Oh, Lydia! Hi.”

“I didn't know you went to MIT.”

“Yeah, computing,” Erica replies shyly.

Lydia cocks her head and remembers Erica hacking into her father's insurance records many years ago. She smiles. “It's nice to see you.”

“You too.”

Over the next few months the two girls run into each other more and more. It starts off as knowing smiles across the library —

(“Who's that?” Lydia's friends ask.

“Just someone from home.”)

— and nods in the corridor —

(“Lydia, thank God!” Erica exhales. “Do you know where this building is?”)

— but slowly they morph from old classmates to friends. It surprises Erica to begin with. After all, she used to hate Lydia and people like her. The popular kids who made her life hell. But Erica's changed a lot since freshman year of high school and so has Lydia. Away from the terrors of Beacon Hills High and the horrors of Beacon Hills supernatural scene, Erica finds it easy to like Lydia.

They start spending more time together, studying and helping each other on assignments and going to coffee shops and parks and stores.

It's so nice, Erica thinks, to talk to someone who knows what it means to be supernatural.

(“So what actually is a banshee?” Erica asks one night.

Lydia explains and Erica nods in half understanding.

“Now ask me what a chimera is,” Lydia laughs.

“Oh I missed a lot after I left, huh?”)

It's so nice, Erica thinks, to talk to someone who remembers the time Stiles snorted chocolate milk out of his nose.

(“Did anyone ever tell you about the first time he got drunk?”

Erica's eyes go wide. “No? Tell me immediately!”)

So they become friends. They hang out in each others’ rooms. Lydia encourages Erica to try climbing again. Erica helps Lydia run for student council —

(“We don't need badges.”

“That's where you're wrong, Lydia!”)

— They talk about their fears, their nightmares, their hopes and dreams. They have inside jokes —

(“Oh!” A mutual friend they’re studying with turns to Erica. “Can you make it to the party on Saturday?”

“Maybe,” Erica replies, glancing over at Lydia.

“No, mayflies,” Lydia mutters without looking up from her textbook.

Erica giggles and looks back at their friend. “Sorry, what time did you say it starts?”)

— They click.

And then one day, Erica walks into Lydia's room and throws herself down onto Lydia's bed. “God! I hate my roommate.”

Lydia, at her desk, is undisturbed by the dramatics. “You should come live here,” She says offhandedly.

“What?”

“My roommate's dropping out, going back to Poland. You should move in.”

“Okay.”

So they live together.

They live together.

All the little things about Lydia that Erica had been ignoring become unignorable. Like the way Lydia's hair always smells like strawberries or the way Lydia laughs like an angel or the way Lydia is somehow both incredibly competitive and incredibly bad at Mario Kart.

That last one becomes especially unignorable late one night when they're sitting on Erica's bed playing together. Lydia is losing, of course, so she decides that if she can't win herself the only option is to sabotage Erica. She attempts to grab the controller out of Erica's hands but can't quite reach. After two more tries, Lydia just decides to launch herself at the other girl. This works to knock the controller away. It also, however, means Lydia is now lying on top of Erica on Erica's bed.

“Hi,” Erica says.

“Hi,” Lydia replies.

Erica can feel herself blushing.

“Fuck it,” Lydia mutters and closes the gap between their lips.

Erica kisses back fiercely.

Much later, they're curled up in each other's arms, the Mario Kart all but forgotten.

and if you kick out every mentally unstable teenager with self-esteem and parental issues, out of beacon hills, who's going to be in your pack, Derek?

[tenpintsof-sundrop]

Isaac and Erica are one of those 'I have two hands' duos and if I don't write a fic about them soon, I may combust

[slice-of-magenta]

I have some time on my hands and I want to provide something, or at least get pushed into completing stuff djsbdbtff

Are there any art prompts I should do for practice? Certain character in a setting or just a pic of them from neck and up, friendships, scenarios, etc. Can have certain colors ejjehdjd

No one will be a bother for sending me an ask 👀 I will hug it. Let's pretend I can draw right 🙏🥺

[metagalacticx]

do you ever think about the chimera pack and the beta trio (boyd, erica, isaac)?

theo and derek both got their powers enhanced through the death (killing, unwilling or not) of their betas (josh&tracy; boyd)

witnessing each other die bingo (tracy -> josh; boyd -> erica, isaac -> boyd)

now there’s one pack member left™️ (tracy, isaac)

one member willingly joined scott mccall’s pack (hayden, isaac)

isaac and hayden both left beacon hills

[dread-doctors-apologist]

mall au (inspired by me working at a mall and hating it)

- since there usually isn't a vet in a mall I'm gonna say Scott works at a pet store or something

- Idk what Isaac would do so Im saying KFC (not bc I work there and want to project (lie)) he absolutely despises it but every once in a while a cute guy will come in for lunch and get two tenders for his dog

- it's a different dog every day, Isaac just hasn't noticed yet

- Scott doesn't actually like KFC but he has maybe a crush on one of the employees

- Allison works at this sports store, her manager is such an asshole and everyday she thinks about quitting,,, and complains very loudly to her friends

- she always ends up going back cuz the pay is pretty good

- Stiles probably works at a video game store or like one of those anime stores,, I can see that for him

- he hasn't gone two weeks without knocking over a stack of pop vinyl

- honestly half his job is cleaning up his own mess (it's a wonder he hasnt been fired)

- no one knows where Lydia works but she gets paid way more than any of them

- Erica has never held a job longer than three months,,, pick a store in the mall and she probably worked there

- some memorable getting fired stories include:

1) straight up stealing 5 different hoodies to give to her friends (she would later borrow these hoodies and never return them)

2) having a handstand competition with a 7 year old in the middle of the store (and knocking over 4 racks of clothes)

3) spitting in the food of a Karen, who spent 20 minutes yelling at Erica and her co worker, right in front of the customer.

- Boyd works at an ice cream place and gives free ice cream to kids at the end of his shift sometimes

- Cora absolutely does not need to work (her parents own the mall) but she gets a job at the ice cream place too (this has nothing to do with her squish on Boyd)

- Mason got his first job working for a phone/tech store and when he told his friends literally none of his friends believed him ('no way that is your first job)

- the may or may not have gone to the mall just to bother Mason at work

- this lead to everyone of them getting kicked out of the store (and Liam getting a life ban)

- Liam got hired by Scott and for the first few shifts kinda just followed him around (he's more of a cat person tho)

- on his first break Scott took him out for KFC and got so distracted staring at the cashier that he forgot to order food for himself

- Corey works two jobs one is KFC with Isaac and the other is a shady resaraunt outside of the mall, (he gets paid in cash but it's actually a decent pay so he doesn't really care)

- Malia and Kira both managed to get jobs at a cinema together. they mostly make popcorn and drinks for people

- their manager realised early on that he could no longer schedule their shifts together cuz they will spend too much time flirting/making out

- =(

Erica or Boyd next! Erica or Boyd next! Erica or Boyd next! (/j, of course, but I'm really liking your analysis of the ships and characters!)

ERICA

Okay gang, so here's the thing about Erica. (For the sake of the analysis once again, she is not dead) My girl went through a LOT in her life before she got turned. She had to deal with her medical condition and the impact that had on her socially, mentally, emotionally, and in basically every other aspect of her life. Kind of like Isaac, when she got turned and got powerful, her personality experienced a whiplash. She went from being shy and insecure to being incredibly confident in a day. Which is entirely fair, she got a chance to restart her whole life the way she wanted to live. BUT it also created a gap of time where she was really just playing a part again instead of being herself, you can really see towards the end of her time on the show her character softening out and her becoming more comfortable with herself.

I LOVE her and Boyd, and I really feel like their relationship was supportive and special for both of them. But I guess I always put them together because they were the only characters that either of them had soft interactions with and stuck with during their time on the show. And the way I viewed their relationship was, salty, clever Erica, and firm, loyal Boyd, who were there for each other through thick and thin but never really romantic. I guess they could be lovers but I don't think that's what was best for either of them.

Erica and Stiles were an interesting match and I loved their banter. They DEFINITELY needed more screen time together, they could've been a really iconic duo, but she could never have really been what Stiles needed, and she deserved better than to be second string all her life.

Isaac and Erica again, were just playing more reckless shells of themselves to make up for all the time they had lost being afraid during the beginning of their relationship. And by the end, again, they never really could've been what each other needed.

I've seen Cora and Erica be shipped? I don't know, they would just both try to be the boss in the relationship and it wouldn't go over smoothly in a romantic relationship.

In short (this is not going to be that short) I think that Erica shouldn't have ended up with anybody on the show. She's charismatic and witty and beautiful and doesn't deserve to be shoved into a relationship with any of the characters already there just because she was single.

Ideally, I've got this idea of her ending up with someone not involved in the supernatural world. She's been dragged so far into it all because Derek needed a pack (he's made some very poor decisions I'll admit) and ended up basically losing everything for it. She deserved to have a little bit of refuge from it all.

I like to think she becomes the person she would've needed when she was younger and maybe she finds the person who would've healed her when she was young and hurting. And maybe falls in love with them completely of her own volition later, when she is healed a little more and is a person of her own, instead of desperately clinging to them while she was at a point in her life when she was weak and afraid.

She just deserved somebody who picked her first, who didn't take advantage of her, who could take her out of that world a little and show her there's more to life than the wolf inside her.
