one of the most fascinating things in the teen wolf fandom is how they took something that was just clearly meant to be a throwaway line to explain how magic works "it needs a spark" (i.e. it just needs something to start the fire and then it does its thing) and used that to create an entirely new concept and insist that it's what a character is

I think there's a lot of wild fanon things in the tw community but that's probably the craziest. there's a lot of things people who would come into the show after reading the fics would be expecting but wouldn't be there but the prominence of spark stiles might be the one that's most different

#it's interesting to me #but also frustrating #bc imo stiles' strength as a character is the fact that he's *not* magical or powerful #he's just smart and feisty #and that lets him keep up in this world #and I'm guilty of writing magic stiles so it's not like it's the end all be all of awful things #but idk it does make me sad to see that it's a near constant that the fandom strips away what makes him unique in the cast #to then make him a super special awesome rare magic guy #my ramblings
