Ok Derek fans, I need to get something off my chest. I'm so tired of the TW community collectively having amnesia over Derek's backstory. Like, yes, we know that Derek was naive, and made questionable decisions. But knowing what we know now, in retrospect, we understand that Derek maybe wasn't the brightest bulb. He was easily manipulated by Peter, Kate, Jennifer, etc. He lost a large part of his family, murdered in a house fire. Then his sister, torn apart by her murderer. And he was left to pick up the pieces and wipe Scott's ass when he barely had any idea what he was doing. But he did his fucking best, and he never ran away, even though he totally could have. He always stood up and fought and tried to do the right thing. But this revisionist history pisses me off. We know now why he did what he did. We better understand trauma, grief, and all of that. So, why are people still shitting on Derek for being "a bad Alpha" or an idiot, or naive? The man's dealt with his karma and he's had his redemption arc. Can we stop collectively forgetting how amazing he is? He was never really the bad guy, although JD tried to make you think so. Hell, he actually brought himself into a perfectly balanced alignment between man and wolf that he now can fully shift. What other werewolf on the show can claim that?

Derek doesn't have complicated feelings about the Jeep, he has complicated feelings about the man who drove that Jeep. He hated how unsafe it was for Stiles. But he knew what the Jeep meant to the man he loves. It's not about the Jeep.

OMG!!!! I can't believe I didn't see it! But I was so distraught it took me some time to wrap my head around it. Derek became an Alpha again near the end.

Where did his Alpha Spark go?

Eli's eyes are still gold.

When Talia died, where did her Spark go?

Laura.

Her child.

DEREK HALE IS NOT DEAD!

[hellameyers]

If you haven't seen the latest video from TeenWolfNews on YouTube, I highly recommend you do. There is yet another theory about how Derek Hale is NOT actually dead.

It's titled, "The Key to this whole damn thing".

You're welcome!

Holy crap! I missed it because I had tears in my eyes and wailing, but Derek became an Alpha? And he might not actually be dead?!

I will retract some of my F* yous to Jeff Davis if this is true. If Peter can survive a fire as a beta, Derek definitely can as an Alpha and Evolved wolf.

Derek Hale is an Alpha again.

Derek Hale is not dead.

This is Canon.

NEW CHAPTER ALERT!

[hellameyers]

I just uploaded a Teen Wolf Movie fix-it of sorts that I was never really intending to make, but I just had to get out of my head and share it. You can enjoy But I'm Gonna Love You Anyhow over on the ol' Ao3.

[hellameyers]

I'm so happy to see the Sterek community work through their emotions by writing. That's always how I was able to do it. But there's too much for me right now. I posted another chapter before the movie, but I don't know when I'll have the energy to write and post again.

(Oh, and F*ck Jeff Davis. If you were looking to get more movies made, you just nuked your chances by screwing over and alienating a huge chunk of the fandom.)

[hellameyers]

Hey everyone! I just updated my story Getting on With It over on the good old AO3. Go check it out 😊

[fiction-justanotherstateofmind]

Please can we talk about this?!

I really don't like when in fanfic the happy ending comes only after Derek's acceptance that he's a bad alpha who needs help. Did season 1/2 Derek need help? Yes. Is that a good reason to blame all of Beacon Hills' problems on him? Hell no!

He didn't have an "how to be a good alpha"manual that he chose not to follow. He was improvising and did his best. He was never meant to be the alpha and he became one soon after his sister and uncle's death, the last remaining people of his family.

Sometimes people blame him for Boyd and Erica's departure (in every sense) and I just can't accept that.

❓ What do you think about it?
