Not a Substitute for the Past

I have to push back against a particular take in Teen Wolf fandom that I feel is not only inaccurate but also a symptom of damaging behaviors in fandom.

Liam is not a Mini-Jackson and Mason is certainly not Danny-Lite.

Saying that Liam and Mason are some sort of cheap replacements for Jackson and Danny is to flatten their characters so much as to be unrecognizable. Of course, they are both best-friend duos, but there were literally four other 'best-friend duos' showcased in the production: Scott and Stiles; Allison and Lydia; Sebastian and Marcel; and Gabe and Nolan. Of them, Scott and Stiles are the most important; all the others, in their significantly different dynamics, serve to examine that relationship.

To me, the only thing that Liam and Jackson have in common is that they're white lacrosse stars. You would have to get rid of all their other character development in order to make the claim that Liam was a replacement for Jackson.

Jackson starts out as a rich, popular sports star, the captain of the lacrosse team, who strides through the halls of BHHS with the adoration of his peers, a smoking hot girlfriend, and protective and involved parents. As the seasons progress, we discover he has issues which spring from his learning that he was adopted and that his biological parents died on the night he was born. Jackson internalized this exterior tragedy, resulting in an impostor syndrome so strong that it had supernatural consequences. Because of this, he's insecure about his own value, and he reacts by being jealous, obsessive, and mean, frequently crossing the line into cruel. While his parents obviously care about him, he keeps them at arm's length. His relationship with Lydia is toxic; even though it's shown that both of them care about each other, it's too often mixed up with the false fronts they put up in order to maintain their status.

In contrast, Liam is younger, but he's definitely not popular. He's insecure, but this doesn't come from an exterior tragedy but a mental disorder: his I.E.D. His inability to cope with it effectively (which to Teen Wolf's credit is never shown as a moral deficiency) has lead to him being expelled from his former school, having an antagonistic relationship with his former coach and the entire Devenford lacrosse team, and having created Hayden as his nemesis. None-the-less, his relationship with his parents is strong, as far as we can tell and in contrast to Jackson. Dr. Geyer is a very good stepfather; we see that in Muted (4x03). Liam doesn't allow his insecurity to make him resent his parents; instead, he is driven to prove himself worthy of their love (which there is no indication that they would withhold). He doesn't have Jackson's status but he wants it, and while he can be stubborn, aggressive and competitive, he doesn't exhibits signs of jealousy or any willingness to hurt others to get what he wants. While he can lash out in anger, he's seldom mean and never cruel.

In addition, their relationships to the lead protagonist are very different, and that is NOT incidental. At the beginning of the show, Jackson's surface persona represents everything Scott aspires to (popularity, a girlfriend, to be seen and recognized) only for him to discover the hollowness beneath that facade. Then, in Season 4, Liam represents everything Scott has been forced to leave behind (the ability to be angry, the right to focus on himself, being taken care of rather than taking care of others, etc.). In the end, Liam isn't a replacement for Jackson because they don't serve the same function in the narrative.

To me, Danny and Mason are both gay -- though the idea that there is a designated gay character is so Eighties -- and they're both minorities -- which is just as Eighties -- but the very nature of their roles within their best-friend duos are vastly different.

Danny is Jackson's best friend on the lacrosse team, despite Jackson often being aggressive and sometimes even hostile toward him ("kind of always at a four"). Danny obviously cares but seems undisturbed by Jackson's more aggressive behavior, though he will push back if he thinks Jackson goes too far. Throughout the seasons, Danny exists in proximity to the supernatural goings-on, yet he manages to keep a distance even with several near misses, so much so that the audience was surprised that he had figured out Ethan's nature. It's not fear of danger; he can be transgressive when he wants to be. Danny manages people by drawing boundaries and respecting those boundaries in others.

On the other hand, Mason becomes far more active in Liam's supernatural life, and it's not because Liam doesn't try to keep him out of it. Mason is curious and involved, and he "wants to help." In fact, his desire to be there for Liam, in my opinion, often leads to Mason enabling Liam in his actions. When he meets the rest of the pack he's immediately willing to engage with them and help them out. He doesn't even hesitate to start the second-longest-lasting relationship in the show with the chimera Corey. Mason allows himself to be far more vulnerable in his relationship with Liam and with the supernatural in question, as compared to Danny's reticence. Another thing I appreciate is that neither approach toward friendship is shown as 'better' than the other. They're just different! (which is the point of this meta).

It will help if you think about these parallel scenes. In Venomous (2x06) Jackson and Danny are working out, and Danny remarks that Jackson is trying to lift far too much weight. Jackson snaps that he doesn't need a spotter, and Danny shrugs and leaves. "I'm hitting the shower. If I come back and you're lying dead underneath a pile of weight, I'm taking the Porsche." Danny still cares, but he's not going to let Jackson get under his skin. In A Promise to the Dead (4x11), the scene is recreated with Liam and Mason. Liam, rather than being consumed by disappointment like Jackson was, is trying to cope with his fear of the Berserkers. Mason, rather than leaving with a quip like Danny, stands there hurt by Liam's behavior. Scott has to caution Liam about pushing his friends away.

Same situation, different motivations from each character involved, demonstrating how while they might be best friends they act in the context of that friendship in different ways. Liam is running away from the possibilities of the supernatural, while Jackson is running toward them. Danny is willing to respect Jackson's boundaries while still caring for him, while Mason is hurt by his inability to help a clearly distressed friend. These difference help demonstrate Scott's evolving role in his peer group and his own growing skills in leadership. He is in a position to help Liam and Mason in a way he wasn't able to help Jackson and Danny.

Liam and Mason are not replacements for Jackson and Danny. Even if Jackson and Danny were present in season 4 through 6, they couldn't possibly have the same relationship with Scott because they were very different people.

Nolan Holloway - Horizon Walker Ranger

Horizon Walkers guard the world against threats that originate from other planes or that seek to ravage the mortal realm with otherworldly magic. They seek out planar portals and keep watch over them, venturing to the Inner Planes and the Outer Planes as needed to pursue their foes. These rangers are also friends to any forces in the multiverse — especially benevolent dragons, fey, and elementals — that work to preserve life and the order of the planes.

Dearest Nolan,

Do not worry about your english, I think you are wonderful. Me and my family speak English fluently. Most children in my school do not have families the same as mine, they do not speak english too well, so they agreed to have a pen pal. My teacher thinks having a pen pal will help me find a friend. I have heard of the beatles! Does this mean we can be friends? I haven't heard of your ‘Golden Slumbers’, but my tante Noémie (auntie) likes to sing a song called ‘Yesterday’. She is very good at singing and likes to sing for the whole family.

My family is very big, but there is no one who is called by their middle name like your Beck or Monsieur Mcartney. My full name is Alexandre Julien Raoul Leleu. Names are very special in my family, it is a tradition that parents will pass on their names to their children. My middle name Raoul was passed from my papa and his papa, and if I have a son, it will be passed on to him. Julien means youthful, my mother chose it because I am the youngest of my brothers and sisters. They gave me the nickname Alec when I was quite young and now I am only called Alaxandre if I do something bad or by strangers. Where I am from, a nickname is earned through friendship, you can call me Alec if you like? Also, do you have brothers and sisters?

I shall have to ask my mama about ‘Abbey Road’. We do have a record player but not in a basement. Our house is very big so we have lots, almost one in every room, but they are old and some crackle loudly when we play records that have been played a lot. What is your house like?

I live in a place called Ardèche in southern france. We live on a farm very close to the capitol Privas and I go to public school there. It is a small town, not like California or America, but it is very pretty and I enjoy living in the countryside. Most of my family live with us on the farm, with the exception of my cousins who moved to Paris when I was six. They visit us every year for celebrations and bring us presents. Last month they brought me some popular english books, maybe you have read them too? Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, The Hunger games by Suzanne Collins, Paper Towns by John Green.

Unfortunately I haven't travelled outside of Ardèche but I would like to someday! I enjoy the idea of your game, it sounds fun to make up different stories for strangers, to imagine a life different from your own.

I do not mind your so called, ‘rambling’. I enjoyed reading your letter and would very much like to continue being pen pals. Please write back soon!

From, 

Alec.

Au where Nolan and Alec are childhood pen pals. Alec comes from a European pack in southern France and is taken to America by hunters linked to Monroe after his family goes into hiding. Nolan plans to distance himself from the pack when Scott brings home a familiar face.

Given I did the work anyway, might as well post this here as well.

I present, as far as I can tell, the number of fics tagged with each character on A03, from Teen Wolf.

Stiles Stilinski: 107,274

Derek Hale: 85,461

Scott McCall: 54,763

Lydia Martin: 36,749

Sheriff Stilinski: 29,373

Peter Hale: 28,549

Isaac Lahey: 28,330

Allison Argent: 24,722

Erica Reyes: 19,005

Vernon Boyd: 16,242

Liam Dunbar: 12,042

Chris Argent: 11,924

Melissa McCall: 11,467

Cora Hale: 10,733

Theo Raeken: 10,257

Kira Yukimura: 10,105

Malia Tate/Hale: 9,929

Danny Māhealani: 9,237

Alan Deaton: 7,447

Talia Hale: 5,470

Jordan Parrish: 5,285

Mason Hewitt: 4,741

Ethan Steiner: 3,776

Aiden Steiner: 3,068

Corey Bryant: 3,034

Brett Talbot: 1,881

Hayden Romero: 1,285

Nolan Holloway: 1,213

And hilariously, Laura Hale is tagged in 9,023 fics, despite never appearing alive in the show even once.

Most fascinating to me personally is how this shows not only what an iron grip Sterek has on the fic space, but also when the bulk of the Sterek fics were written/take place, since Erica and Boyd having that many more fics than anyone from S3 onward, plus Chris and Melissa? Bizarre to see. Also, I'm not sure why the Steiners are so dramatically underrepresented in fics. I get they aren't Hales, but still...

And yes, you are reading that correctly, Cora, with her 7 proper episodes of screentime and extremely little characterization (not to mention using what little she had to be unlikeable), has that many fics where she's involved. She almost rivals Melissa, who was in ten times as many episodes. (71, to be precise, according to IMDB)

Anyway, just thought I'd share those fascinating statistics with the people of Tumblr. Do with them what you will.

I can’t help but notice Nolan and his language usage when I go back through 6b. Like with the Edgar scene, Nolan says ‘He’s in my trig class’ versus  Monroe’s “That’s not human’. While beating up Liam, he says ‘you know you can take us’ implying that he knew that Liam could simply wolf out and maybe kill him and Gabe. And how Aaron (the Anukite!) is the one to talk to Nolan minutes before his whole speech to Corey / test him. I am having thoughts...

Fandom: Invincible (Cartoon 2021) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Mark Grayson | Invincible, Omni-Man | Nolan Grayson, Cecil Stedman Additional Tags: The Guardians, putting your ethics where your mouth is, Trauma, Grief, letting debbie haunt the narrative for once, Tags TBA Summary:

Omni-Man, Nolan fucking Grayson, was standing outside of his building. He was wearing some tattered gray and white outfit, but even without his iconic red cape, Cecil knew the people here knew who exactly had just reappeared. The earth was cracked under his bare feet from his landing, and he was just staring out ahead at the building in front of him. Then he slowly got down on his knees and lifted his hands into the air.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”

I have a lot of things to say about the teen wolf movie so you get to hear me waffle

WHY NOT JUST RENEW IT FOR A NEW SEASON YOU CANT FOT EVERYTHING AFTER 15 YEARS INTO A MOVIE

And normally I soundly say this cuz I get it you can’t just release a whole new season like the movie made sense at first UNTIL UNTILLLLL it wasn’t to tie up loose ends or anything THEY PLAN ON MAKINV MORE so don’t you think they just make a new season so you know THERES NOT PLOT JOLES and so they can have time to explain the monroe situation or did they forgot that there was a whole supernaturals x humans war and people knew about supernaturals

AND WHAT WAS ALL THAT SHIT ABOUT THRM NOT KNOWING THE NEMEROK LIKE THERE PARENTS DIDNT TAKE A WHOLE VACTION TO THERE DEATHS THERE

How the fuck did derek acquire a son, why does said son act exactly stiles, and why is derek whole personality not liking a jeep JUST MAKE STEREK HAPPEN OMG

Where tf is Corey like they could’ve touched up on that

They also realise that stiles wants the only character not to return like THEY STILL MORE CHARACTERS TO EXPLAIN WHERE THEY ARE

we don’t shit about Theo they didn’t say nothing

Issac is nowhere to be heard of but that’s okay

What about that little they adopted Alex or something

What happen to Nolan

Danny!?!?!?

atleast we know about Ethan vaguely

Jordan and Maria were so random like they understand characters can be single

I get Arden isn’t in. The movie but they still needed to explain like anyone thinks hikari character is a bit fishy it just seems like there trying to replace one badass Asian kitsune with another

THIAM THIAM THIAM

Who the fuck is Eli’s mum if it didn’t stiles

Also your telling me they put there whole wolfussy trying to figure out how to save stiles from the nogitsune just for detain to throw some mountain at argent and call it a day

THEY KNOW WHAT THR NEMETON IS EHY ARE THEY ACTING LIKE ITS MEW INFO

Jackson was the only good thing

Is Kate still bussing it down sexual style

Also Derek isn’t dead Lydia didn’t scream I don’t wanna hear it

[kaykayow]

Ok some S6b Teen Wolf notes (I’m only on S6 Episode: 12)

1: The change from 6a to 6b is so jarring

2: 6a would’ve been a significant ending I mean I even cried when Stiles gave away his Jeep and crap.

3: For Stiles Lovers you head on over to 6b and there’s NO FUCKING STILES (Sorry I’m biased I love him sm also I know he had an injury atm)

4: We have Scott 2.0 which isn’t a problem but I just don’t feel like I know Liam at all still. I know Mason better than Liam so I just don’t feel like I have an attachment to his character.

5: WHO TF IS NOLAN 💀

6: Where’s Derek I miss him rn 🤧

Uhm yeah those are some thoughts so far not hating just kinda laughing bout it but I’m still gonna watch it 💀
