margo & allie all star diner

it's quiet enough for margo to feel no guilt for abandoning post when allie appears through the diner doors. she's propped in a booth with her friend quickly, splitting a burger and a shake happily. 'do you think your mom would mind if i crash for a few days?' she blurts before slurping up some shake through the mouthful of food. she has a home now, technically. a more...secure couch? but living with her brother is not it. 'i can't take it anymore.' she mumbles. 'kas, i mean. every fucking night i gotta hear girls sounding like fucking...strangled cats.' she mimics an expression, eyes crossing and mouth falling open. 'there's no way. no fucking way that's even real. when will girls stop trying to make guys feel better and just be honest? they're shit in bed.' mars states, nudging the shake towards allie. 'you want some more? because i could knock this back like a shooter, al. you're gonna have none.' @wilddwcrds

[gloriouswhispers]

call it a life full of disappointments, but mars frowns as allie tosses out the notion of the madden sisters miraculously reuniting. it's a nice thought, all ambitious and hopeful, but a bit too much sunshine for mars's taste. she nonchalantly shrugs, turning the frown into a faint smile. 'i mean, i found kas in all those…things.' she mutters. 'so they could, yeah.' she nods, but uncertain if she'd want mel, vic, and lexi brought together under similar circumstances. a lifetime of torment, and mars is still clawing her way out of its grip.

she manages a chuckle at the mention of ruben, stifling it with a quick snort and covering her face. 'they're german now!?' she teases allie's attempt at the visser accent, as it now swirls continuously through hollow cove. 'ive always kinda thought he was a dick, too. there's a reason why him and kas get along.' she grins, never caring to say what everyone really thinks about her brother. 'maybe the vissers is the perfect place for him. he always…i don't know. i got the vibe he didn't like being with us.' a gut feeling, perhaps, or just speculation driven by her personal dislike for him. 'jas could do better.' she adds quietly, always thinking highly of the other wolf.

mars' eyes flick to allie as her friend clears her throat, an instinctual eye roll at the topic she predicts is about to unfold. margo slumps in her seat, throwing her hands up into a careless but tense shrug. 'i mean...i guess? he thinks i shouldn't be pissed.' and mars is too stubborn to forgive her brother. 'it just...how can i not be? you know? he just fucked off like it was nothing and that was never...that was never what we did. we stayed together through everything and he just fucked that right over.' her passion displays then, mars' fists clenching as she grips a map in her hold. she sighs then, easing her own tension with a long sigh. 'short answer, no. it's still fucked.'

there's a slow snicker that starts from alana, almost as if she doesn't want to laugh but it escapes from her lungs regardless. she gives a string of heavy nods, able to picture vic and mel and lexi. "it'd be cool if they found each other. you know?" her frown is slanted, feeling the familiar weight she feels whenever she thinks about harvey. "but, wherever lexi is i think she's gonna be fine." allie's tone isn't all too confident but it's hopeful. and some days that's all she can muster. when she thinks of jas, allie snickers again but not because of what she's experienced. just the thought of her with a bunch of visser wolves. "do you think ruben is gonna just...start becoming a viking super slowly? like one day he's got an ax and then weeks later like...a belt. and then...the boots. one day he's like ja zi zam zi vikin beeetuh." allie snorts, flopping back in her chair at the image. it fades into a sigh and she shoots mars a hesitant look when she mentions kas. "so..." al clears her throat. "you've talked?" she approaches the question and topic carefully, elongating her words. "like...talked talked or just...talked a little bit? about serious shit?" her pitch rises by the end of her questions, giving mars a well meaning grin.

I gotta watch my kitten like a hawk so trying to do more than doodle is a nightmare

That said here’s some Spider Band doodles

[steveyockey]

no but it’s incredible how across the spider-verse takes on the white nerd complaint that miles isn’t supposed to be spider-man and makes it the hinge point of the entire movie. like okay, and if he’s not, so what? it’s still his movie! in fact let’s make his biggest strength the very fact that he’s an outsider who doesn’t have to obey canon since HE’S the canon divergence that started it all! beautiful convergence of text and meta

Its kind of ridiculous how difficult it is to find critical intersex literature if you don't know where to look.

That said, here are frequently cited things I've found. For the one's that are behind paywalls, I have a Google Drive folder set up to hold them for access. The only things I leave behind a paywall are books by individual authors. They are not organized at all, I'm sorry.

The only reason that Wittig didn't become a TERF blogger like her contemporaries is that she died too early to make a miserable little Wordpress site. (She certainly never lifted a finger, for decades, as her peers set out projects of exterminating and immiserating trans women)

If you want to see what trajectory Wittig would have taken if she had lived longer, you don't need to look further than Christine Delphy, Wittig's co-“Materialist Feminist” and another big-name radfem who gets the “not like the other girls” treatment

Delphy signed the TERF statement ‘Forbidden Discourse: The Silencing of Feminist Critique of “Gender”’ with the other radfems like Ti-Grace Atkinson in 2013:

mirror of TERF blog with the actual statement

We defend the right of RadFem to exclude men, including M>F trans people, from their feminist meetings and to invite speakers who analyze gender from a feminist perspective. [etc. etc.]

Initiated by Carol Hanisch (NY), Kathy Scarbrough (NJ), Ti-Grace Atkinson (MA), and Kathie Sarachild (NY) Also signed by Roberta Salper (MA), Marjorie Kramer (VT), Jean Golden (MI), Marisa Figueiredo (MA), Maureen Nappi (NY), Sonia Jaffe Robbins (NY), Tobe Levin (Germany), Marge Piercy (MA), Barbara Leon (CA), Anne Forer (AZ), Anselma Dell’Olio (Italy), Carla Lesh (NY), Laura X (CA), Gabrielle Tree (Canada), Christine Delphy (France), Pam Martens (FL), Nellie Hester Bailey (NY), Colette Price (NY), Candi Churchhill (FL), Peggy Powell Dobbins (GA), Annie Tummino (NY), Margo Jefferson (NY), Jennifer Sunderland (NY), Michele Wallace (NJ), Allison Guttu (NY), Sheila Michaels (MO), Carol Giardina (NY), Nicole Hardin (FL), Merle Hoffman (NY), Linda Stein (NY), Margaret Stern (NY), Faith Ringgold (NJ), Joanne Steele (NY)

I don't think trans women actually have any need to “reclaim Radical Feminism.” and to be perfectly blunt, I've already seen this routine with Alyson Escalante & co. in the '10s

In Escalante's case, she eventually backed off of it and abandoned Wittig and her other interests in rehabilitating Radical Feminism. As for others who I followed or had at least seen around online....well, some of the TME ones came out as TERFs. And a few who were trans women literally detransitioned or stopped IDing as transfem to become Male TERF Allies (and also abandoned Marxism at that point)

And Escalante was one of the most popular trans woman on tumblr at the time! in large part because TME people loved that a trans woman was saying radical feminism should be rehabilitated from a materialist lens. it flattered them. including many of her Lesbian Feminist TME mutuals who later came out as TERFs (e.g. Butchcommunist)

And the thing is, I could stomach studying and recommending all of these people's theories if I thought there was any utility, if anything good had come from them, like I do for communists who were homophobic etc., but they just don't have anything useful for us! The greatest impact these radfems have had beyond exterminating trans women has been lending support to increased police violence, caging, surveillance, and deportations of sex workers. A wretched legacy with no redeeming qualities and nothing worth salvaging

The only other thing I can say is that if you are TME, and you specifically seek out trans women who are willing to pay lip service to your favorite TERFs and transmisogynist feminists in general—“finally, one of you who's reasonable about Adrienne Rich!”—other trans women around you will eventually notice and probably won't care much for that

New Life (aro mate/witch twins mother)

Description: The twins get a new mom and aro finds his mate 

Warning: abuse of husband, violence, murder,blood

a/n: i hop you all are safe with this winter strom going on right now, so stay safe  and remember i love you

____________________

Margo had always wanted kids  but was never blessed with the changes and for that she was grateful her marriage was not what you would call stable. She had married young at first it was good but as time went on it slowly became worse to the point he would bet on her. She had tried to make her marriage work but nothing helped.

Margo decided that maybe they need a break from life in the big cities so she books the plane to Italy. At first her husband was against the idea. But finally he agrees. Unbunost to Margo why.

The first night in Italy was fine, Margo and the man she had been married to for many years had a lively evening at a nice diner and carriage ride around town. It was the 2ed day and Margo and her husband Tom were taking a back alley,  on their way back to their room that was 3 blockers away.  When all of a sudden Tom pushes her to the was of the building to the right of her. With a kife to her neck. How he had it was unknew to Margo as you can’t have then on planes andsshe don't remember her buying it. But her he is with it to her throat. 

She had knew it would more then likely end like this, but she had hopped this trip would make things better, but it didn’t, from the looks of things.

“I know you’ve been sleep with Rayan, and I will no share you , if i can have you know one will.” What was he talk  Ryan what a fecken baby, he was 19 he saw her and a sister, he has said it several times. There was no way Margo would sleep with him that was sick. And she had never cheated why would she despite everything she still loves him but with the look in his eyes right know she feels none of that love just fear. Tiers stat to fall from her eyes as she looks at him.

“I’m not, I swear. His a kid and I would never.”  Tom because madre. 

“Are you calling me crazy, alAre you calling me a liar.” He says as he pushes the knife in more to her neck.  

“No, no, I would never.” Tom moves the knife from her neck and repasses it with his hand, moving it slow over her cheek.  

“I don’t believe you,” then all of a sudden there is a pressure in her abdomen. She gasp as her hands move to the knife that now stuck out of the spot as she slides down the wall. 

Looking up at Tom, she sees that he doesn't even looks fazed. Like he had done this a tough times before. 

“You did this. Not me,” and he walks away. 

Margo look to the now dark sky and she prays to whatever god that is out there that she is found. Finally she decides to stand and make her way to the end of that ally. When she looks down to her abdomen she see the knife still there and that may be a good thing. 

As she makes it to the end of the alleyway two fingers come into view. Margo’s site starts to blur as she can not make out the two people in front of her. 

“What do we do with her?” Margo hears a young male voice as she falls at his and the other person's feet, the voice was that of an angel a young angel. 

“Help me,” Mago says to the young angel. 

    The voice that species after her is a young female just as angelic the male. 

“And we shale.”

Then everything goes black and she thanks, 

“This must be death.” 

______________________

Margo wakes with a gasp, looking around she sees the room she is not in the she rented for her time in italy. No but she sees things that should not be seen, the dust in the air, the crack in the stone wall, and she hears the movement from outside the door and from what she can only guess is down the hall, she can also smell the baked goods from the open window. And something else, it sweet, so sweet it makes her throat burn, like she had not had anything to drink in months.

“Good you're awake.”  a man says from the door that margo had not notice had been open. This man was in a fine suit  and his long black hair was pulled back  to keep to it out of his hair. He had to be at lest 40, his smile looked like he was hiding something.  And MArgo really didn’t want to no what.

“ I must say to have Jane turn you herself means you must be important, she has never cared enough to do something of the sort, usually she would have just eaten you.” What the hell is he talking about?

“Speaking of eating you must be striving, Jane, Alec, bring this young woman her lunch.” At that moment two kids walked in holding 2 people and one of the people was her husband and the other was their neighbors from home. 

“Tom, you said you take care of her.” the other woman said as she looked at margo. Then she looks her in the eyes.

“Why are her eyes red?” 

“Shut up, Tiffany.”  

“But Tom You said you get her out of the pitcher,”

“Oh my young lady, if i was you would not take that.” the man in the suit says to Mago as he walks to stand by the kids. 

“You tried to kill me, so you could be with her?” Margo asks the man she had spent her life with. The more she sat in the room the more she could smell something so sweet like a 3 course meal,  the burning in throat just seems to get worse. Grabbing her throat gasping for air. As Margo's head becomes cloudy. She can only hear the man say.

“Oh we are about to have a show.”

Then Margo loses control of herself as she jump from the bed and runs at Tiffany, and rips her throat out and start to drink her blood. 

She can hear Tom scream for her to stop.

Then she look at hm with a blood smile and says    

“You did this, not me.” and dose the same thing she had just done to the home wicker. 

 When she finally drays him, she drops him and look to the people behind her. All of which have a smile on their face.

“What am I?” the man walks up to margo and says, 

“Profession.” 

Confused, Margo looks at the kids.

“You are a vampire.” is all the girl says as she look at Margoe with pride and then looks to the people on the floor,  

 “You did good.” the boy says and at that moment

Margo realized she knew their voices they were the ones that  found her. 

“Thank you.” Margo says. The man in front of her takes her hand in his hands than smiles at her.

“You are not afraid,”the man asks MArgo.

 Margo looks at this man not knowing who he is and why he was here. The only thing she knows is that the longer she was next to him the more she want to be with him.  It was so odd she had not even been this attracted to her now late husband,  and the kids why was it she looked at them she feels she has to do anything for them if that told her someone had done something mean she would kill them for them to make it all better.

“You feel it don’t you.” The man ask me. Margo look from the kids back to him.

“I don’t know what I feel.”  Margo tells the man she doesn't even know the name.

“May you are, right you don't know my name how foolish of me. My name is Aro and these lovely kids are Jane and Alec,” how did he know what I was thanking.

“I have much to tell you but first let's start by saying you are now a vampire.” Yeah Alec said that already. “Yes he has forgiven me.” 

How the hell is he doing that? 

“I can read every thought you ever had  with just a touch.” 

Margo quickly takes her hand away from him and backs away even though her body is screaming to stay close to him.

“Forgive me, just need to know you where feel thing we were feeling? You see my brother Marcus has the ability to see bonds. And when you were brought in, at the beginning of your transformation, Marcus could see the bond from us to you already. But as you had not seen us you had not had it formed yet.”

Margo takes a breath and it's at that moment she realizes her throat was not burning but ignores it. 

“And what bonds are those?” 

Aro looks to the kids to speak first. 

“We have the bond of,” Alec starts then Jane finishes for him.

“Mother and child.”  Margo is shocked,

“How, why?”

“Some bonds are just written in the stars just as ore bond of mates.” Margo has to take a seat on the bed. 

“I know it's a lote to take in.” Aro says as he watches the vampire that enter the room to take the body's out. 

“Know it make sense, I've always felt I was missing something. Like apart of me was always missing, I had just thought that it was from Tom being so distant and abuse of, but I guess not, I really was missing something.” 

Jane smiles at the woman. And walks up to her laying a hand on her shoulder. 

“Now you have us, all of us” Margo then pulls Jane in for a awkward hug.  

“Thank you for everything.” 

“You welcome, mother,” then Alec and Aro come to join the hug that makes Margo feel more love than she has felt in years. And she looks forward to forever with her new family.

Hold onto me

[Warnings before you read this: this is ghostflower, there’s a life threatening situation, Miguel is presented as the bad guy. If any of this makes you uncomfortable I suggest you do not read this. Thanks]

Miles thought he felt true horror when he saw Miguel hold Gwen by her neck over a ledge too great and scary even for a superhero. When he saw her flailing, desperately trying to rip his hand from her neck, the hands on her suit ripped off, showing that her fingers are turning white with pressure.

Then Miles thought he felt true horror when Miguel let her go, and the entirety of Spider-Society around them made one of the most pained sounds imaginable, but stayed still, as if glued in place. Even those on his side. Like they were witnessing a natural disaster and not a murder attempt.

He was the only one with half a mind to leap after her - so he did. Hand stretched out, eyes fixated on her face.

In what felt like years, but was probably just a second and a half, he caught her hand and pulled her in, with no plan on how or where to go from there. Right under them was one of those portals opened by Spot. At least he got to forgive her before they-

-hit a safety net, apparently. Up above them, thousands of Spider-people looked at each other and breathed a collective sigh of relief, securing their individual webs so that nobody has to fall to their death this time.

Miles pulled away to look into Gwen’s eyes, but, before he could, he got practically tackled. Hobie and Pavitr got to them first, and the latter could hardly contain his excitement. Before he could register what was happening, they were surrounded by their allies - from Margo to Peter B. Peter hugged Miles so hard it hurt, but it was hardly a bad thing.

But then, he heard sobs. And there, turning his head to land his gaze on Gwen, who was breaking down more and more with each passing moment, Miles finally felt true horror. He’s seen her sad before, sure, but not crying. He was unsure she ever did cry. And now she was fully breaking down, looking at her hands.

“My webshooters- he took them- I can’t-“

The thing about true horror, however, is that Spider-Man doesn’t back away from it even for a second. So Miles made his way towards her and took one of his webshooters off before securing it on her hand.

“We’ll just do it together. You can hold onto me, Gwanda,” he smiled.

She looked up at him and broke a smile. Gosh, what a pretty smile.

“…I don’t know how to do this,” she said, and it was unclear whether she meant just sharing webshooters, or something more and deeper.

“It’s alright. You just have to hold my hand and be in sync with me. Like dancing,” Miles answered, and it was also unclear whether he just meant how they’re going to move.

“I can do that”

“I know”

For the writers ask!

6. Favorite character you ever created.

19. First line of a WIP you’re working on.

30. Favorite line you’ve ever written.

31. Hardest character to write.

32. Easiest character to write.

42. How do you figure out your characters looks, personality, etc.

50. Weirdest story idea you’ve ever had.

❤️

6. Favorite character you ever created.

There are so many but if I had to narrow it down I would say Ally (Beau Simpson) or Isobel (Dean Archer). Both bring out a really fun, softer side to their partners and they handle their shit with such dignity and grace.

I also wanna add Gina (Travis Wheatley) in here for destroying Travis’s trophies when she thought he was cheating on her.

Oh and Georgia (Terry Silver) too. There is always so much magic when I write the two of them.

19. First line of a WIP you’re working on.

It’s Roxie that notices Margo’s attraction to Dean first.

31. Hardest character to write.

Honestly Joe Cruz from Chicago Fire. I have tried writing for him hundreds of times over the years but I just can not find the key that unlocks him.

32. Easiest character to write.

Terry Silver, in my head he has such a defined voice that it makes him really easy to write. As soon as I see a prompt for him I’m like yep, I know exactly what we’re doing with this one.

42. How do you figure out your characters looks, personality, etc.

For me it’s really about what the fandom character I’m writing for needs from a partner.

So for Wes Mitchell (FBI International) it was a home away from home. So I knew it would be someone from his past, someone familiar he would feel comfortable in a strange country and who wasn’t part of the fly team because he needs that distance. I also knew it would have to be someone who understood the job he does because it would really fuck up a relationship. Hence we have an FBI Instructor at the International Training Academy who he had had a friendship/fling with in the past. The friendship angle allows her to call him out on his shit when he’s misbehaving because she already knows his history/antics.

With Terry Silver I just felt he was a very lonely man who has all this money and travels  but no one to really experience it with. When I wrote Georgia, I wanted someone who could bring a little colour to his world, who was soft and didn’t see the money or prestige. She doesn’t realise he’s a billionaire until later on in their romance and she’s already falling in love. I felt anyone to assertive or aggressive would really raise Terry’s hackles because he’d been burned before with people who wanted him for his status and not for him. I think one of their first dates is Georgia showing Terry, her version of Paris and it’s the act of sharing that experience that makes him fall in love because he sees the world through her eyes and it’s a wonderful place to be after being disillusioned for so long.  

Also I also really wanted to shy away from the whole sugar baby thing and focus on a relationship that was very loving and deep.

50. Weirdest story idea you’ve ever had.

Hm I can’t think of any weird ones off the bat (like witches or tentacles). I’d say more weird in terms of oh shit this is taking a turn I didn’t expect.

It’s happened with a few fics I’ve had in the past esp with the three things prompts.

Stuff like Dean Archer telling Isobel he found out Leanne was cheating when he was diagnosed with an STD. – did not see that coming.

Mike McClusky ending up in a devastating situation with Stella – the prompt was cocktail and from the instant I started writing the vibe was not a positive one.

Nick Torre’s partner being sent dirty lingerie by a stalker – the prompt was surprise gift I think and triggered a massive storyline for those two.

Rip Wheeler setting up an anniversary meal for Imogen and hearing gunshots across the pastures.

There are tons more but these are the ones off the top of my head.

[sohndesmondes]

I just watched Spider Man: Across the spider verse yesterday and I would like to say how much I loved that part of Miles narrative where he wanted to tell his parents he's the spiderman was so queercoded and also how later on in the movie, once he meet the "spidey verse" and its whole system he was so against it because it's broken and how Hobie helps him to escape and how Margo let him go and how in the end Gwen gathers all the spideys that are against the system and think the Miles is right to help him out. I am well aware that a great thing about the spider verse is that Miles (and other characters) has other problems that are not racism, racist systems or just systemic issues in general and is really awesome to see black people just living their lifes (a narrative that we need to see more) but I also think is a very badass (and important, especially these days) move that a young black boy goes against a whole system and a bunch of people to fight for what he believe is right and that in the end a trans woman (because, yeah guys, Gwen is probably trans, no ally has a trans flag in their room that specifically says "protect trans kids") stands with him and actively starts to help him.

Anyway, I can't stop thinking about this movie

[amys-books27]

I know for a fact that in Beyond we will have these scenes (or at least I really want to see them):

A scene where Miles and Gwen kind of argue, but it wouldn't be an argument, it would be more like Miles screaming at Gwen about how betrayed he feels, and she just stands there and lets him scream and get out everything he needs to while trying to keep herself from crying. (And at the end of this scene even if Miles doesn't forgive her truly, he will accept her as an ally)

Gwen gets hurt badly because she tries to save Miles's dad, and for a moment we think she'll die, but of course, it doesn't happen, she's just hurt but will get better, and after being so close to losing her, and see how much she regrets her actions Miles forgives her.

MILES AND GWEN DOING THE UPSIDE-DOWN KISS

More interactions between Hobie, Pav, Gwen and Miles.

Gwen and Margo being besties.

Idk just after all the angst also give me the double of fluff

[gremlinbabe]

Things I would’ve liked seeing in the teen wolf movie:

-Laura being the birth mom of Eli & the story of how Derek ended up adopting his nephew

- Scott as a veterinarian following deatons steps but he decided to relinquish his true alpha powers to Derek when he realized he really isn’t cut out to be alpha because he never wanted to be a werewolf but with therapy realized he wouldn’t mind being a beta because it’s much calmer and if he stayed in the area wouldn’t become an omega. Making Scott happier maybe he finds himself a gf/bf

-Alpha Derek encouraging his pack by leading by example became a mechanic and a consultant (also show more mechanic Derek 😭😭)

-Grown fbi emissary stiles with little magics & werewolf strength. Happy & dating Derek with a newly fixed jeep

-Stiles and Lydia reestablishing a good friendship after the break up and the whole thing with the Jeep

- CEO & fashion icon Lydia using banshee powers to find out when corporate Headhonchos die to bet on stocks that will increase pack funds a little but not make it suspicious. still being on top of her game ceo wise excluding her powers

-Seeing more of Lydia’s powers.

-Jackson and Lydia sass offs (but with Margo/Elliot from the magicians dynamics and not whatever they did in the movie)

-Jackson and Ethan wedding👀 or at least cute domestic life

-Liam in meditation classes & a financial analyst, in charge of pack finances (+Liam and Hayden together and maybe have a kid)

-If Liam has a kid Mason to be the godfather

-Peter as a stockbroker so Lydia doesn’t have to dirty her name & maybe some art galleries around the world for when he needs to step away from stocks to not be suspicious.

-Issac happy with a French husband who treats him amazing back in beacon hills & neighbors with Derek & regularly does community bbqs. i’d like to think that Isaac would become an amazing social worker for how badly social workers handled his case.(Maybe a little bit of father figure Chris cuz he took care of him and grieved with him after Allison)

-Chris argent allowed at pack bbqs and functions because he’s proved himself over and over and the pack is the only ppl who can also understand the lost of his daughter

-Peter and Chris regularly attend therapy and grief counseling and sometimes together

-Peter and the sheriff do lunch sometimes and we get stories about all the on goings of become hills cuz they like to gossip like old ladies

-Malia back in beacon hills after traveling the world and has become a pilot and constantly brings gifts for the pack ( maybe she introduces 2 poly partners)

-Kira back from the dessert with a mastery of her powers and maybe a journalist now

-Jordan retires as a cop to get his powers under control & becomes a fitness instructor to keep active but have a more chill pace job. I’d like to think that he recommended meditation classes to Liam.

-Erica and Boyd alive well and happy with some kids(let me be delusional)

-The hale house remodeled to fit all the pack when they visit

- I liked John & Mason as sheriff & deputy. ITs Mason following stiles steps in his own way

-Mason get a cute bf

-Deaton left town to go work with his sister but stays as a hale pack ally /mentor of emissary! stiles

-Cora being a cool aunt, ufc fighter 👀

-Discount kira can stay but she’s just introduced as a part of Satomi‘s pack and not as discount Kira and maybe kira occasionally mentors her

-Eli is adorable as is, maybe give him some friends and show his interactions with his pack and how they spoil him to death 

-Some low-key Chris, Peter, and Melissa dates

-Give the sheriff a girlfriend

-Show the sheriff being a grandpa

-Derek regularly cooking and bringing lunch to the sheriff for stiles

-Kira and Scott getting back together would’ve been cute

-Would’ve rather Allison stay dead for storyline consistency and the emotional development and growth of all the characters. But if she’s sticking around then I would’ve liked for Scott to fill her in and they be friends. She gets to visit Isaac and we get to see that reunions reaction and they’re both happy for each other. we get to see her and her dad reuniting and him fumbling over explaining his current relationship with Peter & Melissa. And maybe she leaves Beacon Hills with Malia to learn more about herself & the world. And when she’s ready to come back she becomes a self-defense teacher. NO HER AND SCOTT DATING HATED THAT.

-For Malia and Parrish to have not been a thing because why🤢
