no - I'm not saying that Mr. Argent threatening Scott as an act in itself is weird.

I'm saying that the framing of it in the show is very weird and how the show presented it made it feel like a dream sequence

the heavy grey tinted filter, the fact that Allison's car (I think they were in Allison's car?) is parked out in a random field somewhere when they're kissing so it seems very detached from Beacon Hills and reality itself, Chris punching through the window like a fucking mutant man and ripping Scott out of the car before pushing a gun into his face very dramatically. when I saw it for the first time in the show, I was 100% expecting them to reveal that it was a nightmare sequence Scott had fearing that he would lose Allison/be forced away from her even though he wants nothing more than to protect her. and the fact that it was a real sequence and not a dream one makes it feel so out of place

(especially because if they wanted to better ground it in reality, they could have mentioned the broken car window again, had Allison driving around with cardboard over the window because she stubbornly refuses to let her father fix it to show him how dramatic and unrealistic his actions were - or (if it was Scott's car, I can't remember) - have him driving around with cardboard on the window because he financially can't afford to fix it)

if they wanted to have Chris threaten Scott in a way that fits with the rest of the show, they could have had Chris find Scott alone separately and have a stern 'stay away from my daughter' conversation while holding a gun separately at his side as a subtle warning (it feels much more in character for Chris) (what actually happened feels a lot more like a Kate thing to do - out of control and emotionally driven, what he scolded her for all the time). or, if, like you said, it's about striking fear into Allison, then Chris could bring Allison to a rooftop and have Scott in a sniper's crosshairs, and tell her that if she keeps dating him, he will have no choice but to shoot Scott.

I understand that they wanted to continue the Romeo and Juliet, Twilight adjacent, 'these two people are from different worlds and therefore they cannot be together' thing that makes their romance more about yearning and sneaking around (and it works well) - I am just saying that the entire sequence of Chris threatening Scott feels cartoonish, over exaggerated, and out of place. the way it was done, it feels at the level of parody

(same thing with when Gerard stabbed Scott as a threat and then the next episode DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AT ALL. I thought I made that up in my head because they didn't even have Scott go 'owey my boo boo' for five seconds in the next ep. trying so hard to de-emphasize it for the plot twist later that you just made shit CONFUSING)

Just remembered - out of all the unhinged and parody level things Teen Wolf has done - in the first ten minutes of Season 2, they had a scene of Scott and Allison making out in a car hot and heavy where Chris Argent literally rips Scott out of the car with seemingly inhuman strength and sticks a gun to his head in a blind rage forcing Allison to beg for Scott's life when Scott and Chris seemed on not murderous terms at the end of S1, with a heavy Twilight filter over the scene leading me to believe it was a dream sequence in Scott's mind the first time I saw it

But no. It was real. Chris Argent just decided to go batshit that day

casefic reclist

so here's my list for @spnficrecfest day 16! casefics! i have a lot of casefic ish stuff that i've recced already, but i've saved a few juicy ones.

i also have an absolute passion for "law enforcement pursuing the winchesters" fics, including crossovers with procedurals. you can rest assured that i have zero familiarity with criminal minds or law and order or whatever. the people from those shows are just well-developed oc's to me. so i can vouch for the crossovers being fine if you don't know the other source. anyway, there's a few of those on here, and there will be more on the outsider pov and gen lists.

so, casefics, in order of wordcount:

in scales of grey by liliaeth, 4k

victor henriksen hunts some vampires, along with some other beloved early seasons cameos.

drowned by eden22, 15k

gen, crossover with criminal minds. i would honestly rec everything by eden22, and basically all their stuff is at least case adjacent, but this fic is their most case-focused one other than maybe back road, black road. the winchesters hunt a kelpie with the law on their tail.

cops and robbers by ficangel, 17k

one of the first ever henriksen focused fics, apparently. victor henriksen finds out, then he and the boys hunt a demon. also a character study.

he ain't heavy, he's my brother by castiel_for_king, 27k, chose not to warn

the thing about this fic is that it's like an episode of the show, but like, a version of the show where all the characters like each other and have charming little interactions. even crazier, a version of season nine like that. and there's established destiel.

where black stars rise by teen_dean, 27k

a little destiel casefic by everybody's favorite babyboy dean author teen_dean. not exactly scary but borrows it's vibes from horror if you know what i mean.

i see a darkness by twisted_slinky, 70k, violence warning

gen. another cm crossover, but this time salmondean kidnap a couple of the feds to keep from being caught. great stuff. i liked the bro dynamic and i loved their interactions with the feds. and it's more case focused than some similar pieces.

and finally. so the thing is, i've already recced trapdoor by hal_incandenza. but i just cannot allow it to go un-recced for the casefic enjoyers out there. it's a rewrite of seasons thirteen and fourteen in episode format, with whole new motw episodes. they're so good you guys. like it's an overarching destiel plot fic, but it also has multiple whole case fics embedded inside. like, six of them. highly highly recommend.

[slice-of-magenta]

I do understand op is still trying to sympathize that it's the full moon, but lets pause bc omg @liliaeth . A beautifully well-explained take I've seen by far when it comes to this subject.

It literally is just them using him and knowing that he isn't in the right mind. Dude is getting murderous tendencies and lyds pokes holes at the break-up (with his *anchor*), and Stiles shooing him off to be a wingman at the worst time 😅. Any time and you choose this moment hdhdbsbs. Scott is vulnerable! Why.

Listen I know it's the full moon but Scott is pissing me off. Stiles has done so much for you and here you are kissing the girl he likes. Again I know full moon but still

I have to remind myself that this is a teen show, that teens usually makes dumb ass decisions but so far Scott is just making so many of them. I also kinda forgot that Stiles is in fact not the main character at least for season one

Post the reveal, the world changed. But some things never change. Things like the prisons you find yourself in, like the life you make to get by. Theo had been living in a prison of other people's making for most of his life, The doctor's, what people thought of him because of what he'd done, what he'd broken for them. And now this, pretending to be human, so they wouldn't send him to the other part of the prison, the supernatural section. It made him free in a way, useful. Except a new prisoner just arrived, a prisoner who shouldn't be in there. A man too good for a dark place of lost hopes and shackles. A man who believed that Theo would betray him. After all, it wouldn't be the first time Theo had done so. Theo had a choice to make. He could be the rat he'd always been, get by, survive... But was that really whom he wanted to be?

Scott Whump Rec List pt 1

Happy holidays everyone! I know they can be stressful for all of us, so one of my favorite ways to de-stress is to stress out Scott 😈. This first rec list is going to focus on fics that do not have explicit sexual content. Pt 2 will cover those.

Lost Boys Don't Cry by CranApplePye (156K words)

This fic is sort of THE sciles whump fic. It features sciles being taken captive and delicious, delicious whump for both characters. The sciles feels are A++. This is a must-read if you are a sciles fan, Stiles whump fan or Scott whump fan.

Sawdust & Snow by QuickLikeLight (63k words)

While this fic is light on the physical whump, the emotional whump is A++++++. And again the sciles feels are just stellar. This fic takes a look at choices Scott and Stiles may have made post-canon and it's just so good.

worth fighting for by momentofmemory (18k, wip)

Am I biased because this fic was written for me, to my exact tastes? Absolutely. It is still a fantastic fic? Also absolutely! This is a scira fic that follows a captive Scott from bardo, to the place he's being held and back. It explores his relationships with all of the villains from the show and gyahhhh. It has everything you want in a captive! Scott whump fic PLUS some.

blood in the water by momentofmemory (7.5k)

This fic!! It's a missing scene, canon compliant fic about Scott covered in blood. It features sciles feelings and is utlimately a scalia piece. It's so good and so painful and so lovely.

heavy heart by momentofmemory (1.3k)

This fic features a Theo trying to figure Scott out, which is always a favorite of mine in sceo fic. But it also features Scott taking on whump he doesn't even need to. Lovely.

I chose those three- but if you are a Scott fan @momentofmemory's fics are not to be missed. Most of them involve some form of physical or emotional whump. And they are all absolutely stunningly crafted. Fantastic works, all!

the hunted sky by spikeface (1.2 k)

This is a missing scene style fic for 4x01, which features some of my personal favorite canon Scott whump- electrocution in Araya's house. The way this fic just adds so much depth to that scene is masterful.

the boy who swallowed the earth (19k) by spikeface

This one is more Theo centric than Scott centric, but def features a very healthy amount of half dead Scott for our reading pleasure. And if you want a fic with layer after layer after layer, this is absolutely it. You'll feel like you're going in circles in all of the best ways.

Dominion by Escalus (81K)

Again a little more Theo centric, but the Scott whump is lovely. And it features captivity, which you will note is something I enjoy v v much. This one is so fun, I love the way it plays out in the end.

my blood by LuthienKenobi (2.6 k, wip)

This fic features sciles on the run and a very, very, very hurt Scott. Love, love love.

Breaking Point by liliaeth (2.5k, wip)

If you hadn't realized, captive!Scott fic is my favorite. And this one delivers! It's one of those I've read mutliple times even knowing that it is only one chapter. I regret nothing. It's so delightful.

this beast that you're after will eat you alive by cat (rileyfinns) (4k)

This scira fic is all about scott and kira getting to cry. It's hurt/comfort but so heavy on the comfort. I love the emotional beats of this fic so much, they def scractch that emotional whump itch.

A few self recs as well, because my own teen wolf fic page is filled with Scott whump, because it is my favorite!

Just Breathe by idc_chan (1.3K)

This is a pre-canon Scott, Stiles and Theo fic focusing on Scott's asthma and it's just so much fun.

Catch and Release by idc_chan (2.4k)

This is a sceo fic featuring, you may have guessed it, captive! Scott. It's also got paintaking and Scott taking too much pain as a theme. A lot of fun and fts phsical and emotional whump.

So Part 2 is definitely gonna include some Very Explicit recs, but while making this list, I realized there will definitely be more parts. If you appreciate this list, leave some feedback for the authors! They would love to hear from you. <3

Part 2 of Pro-Scott McCall fanfics in my bookmarks:

“A Wolf’s Burden” by Liliaeth

• Scott-centric

• Scott & McCall pack (friendship/family)

• Post-series, canon-compliant

• Hurt/comfort

• Finished at 6 chapters and 25,000+ word

• Centred around Scott’s psyche and his tendency to always shoulder the responsibility and safety of others

• The characters and their relations are extremely accurately depicted

• Honestly, I feel like this is a “must read” for Scott-centric enjoyers, such a 10/10

[niallloverontheloose]

I thought that Tyler Posey throwing jealous fits and whining "I am the fucking show! I carried the Teen Wolf Movie alone!" was peak, unreachable level of clownery...

But Scott McCall stans claiming that Scott's most defining trait is how smart he is and that "Scott is always right and a good judge of character" might take the cake

https://www.tumblr.com/liliaeth/714873659651686401/the-thing-i-dont-get-is-why-you-think-that-scott?source=share

Teen Wolf Season 5 was literally ALL about Theo playing Scott like a fiddle without breaking a sweat, and Scott dying because of his own incompetence and stupidity. I don't know why Scott/Posey stans keep pretending canon never happened 

Anyway @princeescaluswords and @liliaeth are the Jeff Davis and Tyler Posey of the Teen Wolf Fandom

Another guest rec from @spikeface

Unmanageable by liliaeth

Author summary:

We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable. -- First Step in the Alcoholics Anonymousprogram

The truth is hard to take, taking responsibility is even harder.

@spikeface's reasons to love the fic: A beautiful exploration of Scott's relationship with his father and with being a werewolf through Rafael's eyes--and through the lens of Rafael coming to terms with his alcoholism.

Be sure to let the author know if you enjoy the fic!

[liliaeth]

@bestialitybestiary Going to respond to your reply here instead of in reply to your post. Because it honestly had me baffled if you were actually paying attention or not.

@liliaeth I mean you're right, Scott was called out sometimes. But it somehow didn't feel as if he cared that much. It was sometimes said. Idk I feel like I have to reach for context every time I want to understand his emotions in the scene, because it's not clear. Idk if it's because of acting or directing. What I try to say is that because of those little things Scott may be perceived as ignorant or dumb, and it's a shame. I know he isn't. And I wish they portrayed his character with more care. I guess because of how they wrote/acted the character it was easy to see him as a bad friend, if someone wanted to see him that way. And it's a shame I wrote this post because I was wondering why Scott has such a bad rep in fandom. I love the guy

My main issue is this, of all the characters on the show, there were three characters who were called out on their mistakes the most.

There was Scott, there was Lydia and there was Derek. Which makes it no wonder that on the entire show, these three characters had the most character growth and development of any and all characters on the show.

Compare that to characters like say Stiles who was essentially static for six seasons, and had little to no character growth, because the show didn't dare to ever hold him accountable. Never made him feel remorse for how terribly he treated everyone around, him, and especially how badly Stiles treated the people he cared about, like Scott, like his father, like Lydia, like Malia...

(In fact the only time we see Stiles display any guilt over anything, it's to do with either the Nogitsune or Donovan, both of them cases where Stiles blames himself for things that are categorically not his fault. But when it comes to things that actually are Stiles' fault... things he actually did to personally wrong, it just gets ignored, and we see no reaction to it from Stiles, or any kind of him taking responsibility for it.)

But because Scott 'was' called out, and Stiles 'was not', people fell in the false notion that what Scott did was wrong, while Stiles behavior was 'just funny', or perfectly fine. Even though in most cases it was actually the opposite.

It's why people most often don't realize just how bad a friend Stiles was throughout most of the show.

See, you wrote that you felt Scott didn't care that much... and my instant reaction was 'did you miss the fact that he literally tried to kill himself out of guilt on three separate occasions?

In Frayed he is literally refusing to let himself heal, because he feels responsible over what happened to Derek.

And this is added on in Motel California, where he's already lit the torch, and thus is rid of most of the Darach's influence when he tries to put himself on fire, because he feels responsible for everything bad that's ever happened in their life since he was bitten.

And then in s5b, after Theo murdered him, it's Scott who takes responsibility for everything that went wrong, despite him being a victim, where once again, he won't let himself heal.

(all while the show refuses to let Stiles apologize or in any way take responsibility for listening to Theo and betraying the pack)

It's a recurring theme on the show, and with Scott that he's constantly taking responsibility for everything bad that happens around him, even and especially when it isn't his fault.

It's one of his main character traits, and this tendency to blame himself for everything that goes wrong, is probably one of his primary character flaws.

Like, it starts as early as in s1, when Stiles blames Scott for his father getting hit by a car in 'the Tell', when in Heart Monitor, he refuses to even talk to Scott, and Scott is desperately trying to make up for something that Scott had nothing to do with.

With Stiles blaming Scott for the 'werewolf crap coming into their life', despite Scott being the victim, and even going as far as Stiles abusing Scott with lacrosse balls, and getting him beaten up by seniors (risking said seniors' lives) just to punish Scott in false claim of it just being 'training)

I get that Stiles was just frustrated and worried about his father, which Scott knows as well, and is why Scott doesn't hold it against him. But with this added on to Scott's already existing tendency to take the blame for everything that goes wrong...

Scott could have refused, but instead he's blaming himself for these things, despite none of it being his fault... It's an ongoing character trait for Scott to do so.

I'm not saying the show was perfect, one of the main flaws the show had, esp. in regards to Scott, is that they went with the notion that Scott dealt with his suffering internally, and that the audience would see this as resilience. That he didn't lash out (outside of s1 when he's least in control of his instincts), and for the most part just dealt with it.

And directorial this lead to things like the show rarely if ever dealing with the horrors Scott went through. Even in the previouslies we rarely see a focus on what was done to Scott. Even Gerard torturing Scott with a knife in clear view in front of the hospital, and then threatening his Mom, is not mentioned in a single previously, no matter how relevant it would have been to do so...

Just like Melissa's horrified rejection of Scott in Fury is never once dealt with onscreen. Instead we get some mention of 'them being stronger now' in s3, when in reality what the show actually did was to stop having Melissa's behave like Scott's mother, and turning pretty much just into a mentor.

Where we see the sheriff putting his son first, and protecting his son at all cost, Melissa essentially stops doing so after Fury, and just starts putting expectations on him.

People ask why we keep bringing race into this, it's because in any other situation, where a white character's pain would be ignored in the show. (hell this is done plenty with Stiles even in tw fandom), fandom would then pick up the story in fanfic after fanfic...

But with Teen Wolf fandom, that does not happen.

Even Motel California, is more often made about Stiles, or Isaac, than it is made about Scott, a character who is clearly suicidal in canon.

And that would not be the case if Scott were white.

We constantly see fandom claim to hate Scott for traits that he either canonically does not have, faults, he canonically does not have, while ignoring the traits and flaws he does have, because they do not fit the narrative that people want the character or the show to be.
