Something I keep noticing, when Buck talks about former dates he had, he rarely specify the gender.

We can see it in several places over the years, but the one most noticeable is here,

Eddie is trying to get a hold of Felisa Valdez to give her her bracelet back, but keeps hitting a wall.

Bobby asks him if he didn't say he'd call her agent, and Eddie replied:

Then Buck goes:

He doesn't specify the gender of the agent or says anything that hints on a personal note, not she, or he, not she/he told me.

They - as in there is something I am not willing to talk about.

They never call back - called me back, told me they don't call back, I observed that this is their pattern of behavior.

It's not specified. It's not personal. It was lightly teasing and a way to make Eddie feel comforted in this frustrating situation.

It's also careful, because as past experience shows, Eddie is never thrilled talking about Buck's love life that doesn't involve him.

They rarely talked about Abby, the never talked about Ali, Eddie hated Taylor at first sight, and he was barely attentive when Buck complained about Veronica for the 0.2 seconds they were seeing each other.

Consciously or unconsciously, Buck is aware of it and keeps it light and helpful and I love him for it.

Eddie's response to Buck’s retort is interesting, too.

There's a dissatisfied nod, whether it's about his situation or the reminder of Eddie not being Buck’s first (😉). It's a face we've seen before, almost always when Buck’s former gfs come up in conversation.

In season 1, in the full moon episode, there is always a follow up question to Buck’s knowledge of certain things, mostly from Bobby, like how did he know a certain pose in yoga, or how did he know about the tape warm.

Even then, Buck's reply to the yoga pose question was that he dated like 100 yoga instructors, lol. Still, there was no specification of gender. But Bobby's question was always out of morbid curiosity met with amusement, Hen too.

Not Eddie, he doesn't ask, and never likes it when the subject of Buck’s exes comes up.

I find it incredibly cute and amusing to no end. 🤗🤗

s6a in a nutshell

[theninth09]

liam being scared of change/people leaving him, "hayden left me. scott's leaving, too." and theo constantly staying for him. theo didnt need to stay at the hospital in s6a, he had plenty of opportunities to leave. he TOLD liam he was going to leave and then he didnt. he stayed and fought by liams side and then sacrificed himself for liam.

and then the zoo. liam asked theo for help, but theo AGREED to help. and again, he doesnt need to do any of that, but he keeps trying to help and protect liam while liam is struggling (like in the locker room with gabe)

and then the finale... scott calls him and tells him liam needs help and theo immediately rushes to the hospital. like. he was driving, we dont know where, and he couldve easily left beacon hills and told scott to fuck off.

but he went back for liam. he stayed for liam.

When one of the writers/ cast members said that S6A was supposed to be Derek and Stiles being taken by the Wild Hunt, but couldn't happen because Hoechlin was busy, I always wonder how different the season would be if we got Derek and Stiles working together during that season.

JOSHNOLAN WEEKEND DAY2:

Pick a Season - S6A Necromancy AU

Half-banshee half-warlock Nolan resurrects his boyfriend while the McCall pack is preoccupied with the Ghost Hunters.

[summerongrand]

Lucy serving as acting TO is the first real piece of positive news she's had this season.

Her news has thus far all been negative because of Tim and what she did for Tim.

So while Grey did perform silly ceremonials to justify his 'power' in granting Lucy this title, it was clearly done as a dad to give her a moment of reprieve and joy. Being selected as acting TO is a big deal. Then you factor in everything she went through (as a result of Tim and his actions/inaction) and it's her first moment of real joy that she gets to experience and have for herself since last season. Why is Tim laughing it off as such an inconsequential thing? And don't get me started on the way he smiles at her like he didn't just tear her life to shreds without giving her an opportunity to speak.

The Asian woman got relegated to a doormat for her white male counterpart's character arc (S6) and happiness (Metro in S5b, S6a). Let her have her moment without downplaying it too.

[apricusapollo]

okay okay wait. so if the senior year started in S5 and lasted till S6a, it means that theo was probably not able to graduate. he was sent to hell at the end of s5 and the school year was still not over so, logically, he missed shittons of classes which means that he wouldn't be able to graduate. which makes me think about natalie allowing him to retake the year therefore THIAM IN SENIOR YEAR TOGETHER!!!!

I love love love seeing the reactions of all the new fans 🫡

Like I fell face first into this fandom in like s6A hiatus and live-blogged my watch (see: 911 speed run where I ignored all responsibilities to binge watch because I got obsessed QUICK and I have an addictive personality) so seeing other people do it now I’m like:

[haven-of-dusk]

Scott being a True Alpha is very poorly explained in the show. Because the dialogue talks about how he's "pure of heart" and "such a good person" and all that, and it comes off as very twee and forced. Because it kind of is. But it's also not what sets Scott apart from other Alphas.

The shortest way I can put it, is that Derek and other 'traditional' Alphas command or at least try to. Scott leads. He delegates, he trusts, he guides, but (outside of ooc moments *cough* S5 *cough) never declares himself the one true authority from whom all must take orders.

Look at how Derek treats his Betas (presumably in the vein of the way he saw Betas treated when he was growing up): they're basically subordinates to him, he gives orders, trains them without ever letting the barrier slip between teacher and student, he assigns specific instructions, and generally acts in an almost militaristic structure.

Comparatively, Scott will give Liam or Malia a task and let them do it how they please. Scott asks Liam to work on a couple tasks in S6A, A. Protecting the students from the Ghost Riders, and B. Think about a possible path to stopping them. It's Liam (and Mason, and Hayden, and Corey) that comes up with the plan to hide the students in the Mountain Ash lined McCall House and they come up with trying to create a lightning rod and retrieving Theo to see if he can help with it. Part of Scott doing stuff like that can be attributed to him not being as experienced or thinking ahead as much, but there's a reason he keeps succeeding where others fail: he knows when he isn't good at something. He defers to Derek on werewolf issues because he knows Derek is more knowledgeable. He lets Malia do her thing most of the time (within reason) because she's good at it, and most of the time trying to force her to do things a different way just makes things not work as well. He relies on Stiles and Lydia to be the brains because he's well aware that he isn't.

And that's not to say he doesn't make an effort. The AP Biology plotline is important because it does show that Scott is not a natural braniac the way Stiles and Lydia are, but he's willing to work when he isn't automatically adept at something. That's also shown in the skills he displays on the lacrosse field. Werewolf powers obviously help him excel, but he also works hard to be good at the sport in particular (as shown when he doesn't do as well after a lapse in practicing).

Scott trusting in his allies, seeing the best in them, and allowing them the freedom to use their personal talents to the fullest is what makes him a good leader and a True Alpha. People follow him because he takes them as they are and doesn't try to force them into his mold.

So in short, Scott is a True Alpha, there's a good reason for it, it's just not the reason the dialogue tells you.

the crown s6a spoilers without context:

[theninth09]

liam telling theo that he knows the hospital by heart and knows where to go in s6a, most likely bc of his dad working there. and theo just follows him, but theo probably knows the hospital just as well, doesnt he?

i mean. he spent agonizingly long running through those halls. did he ever try to get into other rooms? could he access stairs or elevators and get to different floors? how many different routes did he try? and even if he was stuck at that one floor, he probably has a lot of memories from his childhood.

tiny theo raeken with a weak heart constantly having to go to doctors appointments and memorizing what the floor and walls and ceilings looked like, because what else was there to do for him? its not like his parents wanted to entertain him while having to wait for yet another fruitless appointment.

what do we think was going through theos mind the second he realized liam was leading him to the morgue. did he stick close to liam, fearing that tara would appear behind him? hanging onto this lifeline that is this boy who freed him from that place while continously threatening to put him back there? liam bringing him comfort and agony at the same time?

anyway. liam having good memories at the hospital because of his dad (although ever since he got bitten, hes had quite a lot of traumatizing stuff happen there, too) and theo Only having bad memories at the hospital. just thinking about that, idk.

As a Sterek shipper, my heart aches knowing we could have had Derek and Stiles trying to escape the wild hunt together.

However, my Stydia side rejoices every time I rewatch season 6a.

Bottom line: watching s6a is like eating one of those sweet candies with a sour center.

the thought of theo high made me also think of theo broken: when, after the hospital, he leaves but gets captured by hunters for a length of time. argent finds his truck full of bullet holes and blood, and presumes he's dead. but when hunting monroe, they find theo, tortured and beaten for who knows how long. his reaction to that punishment and stress would be interesting to explore, plus the very angsty pack-reunion. how everyone would see him, barely able to stand or walk, thin enough to blow over, against him trying to rip apart the pack. i think his recovery would show some interesting details about various pack members, and how it would change their persepective of him drasticalluy. thoughts?

Interestingly, I misunderstood the ask at first and for some reason thought that this would take place between S5 and S6, in which case my original thought was, as bleak as this sounds, shit, if Argent saw him like that, immediately after S5, his likely reaction would probably be to just give him the mercy kill. Then I rewound that in my head and realized, no, it’d take place between S6A and S6B, essentially, so Theo would have had his semi-redemption arc with Liam and the Ghost Riders, just not his S6B one.

So in any case, I think it could be interesting, certainly. I’d probably be more interested in the angle re: Theo’s ability to survive it and react to it, I’ll admit, because that would give the opportunity to dig into Theo’s character and his resilience to those kinds of horrors, which when turned outward leads to things like the horrific actions he took in S5, but when applied to self-protection are pretty impressive.

This might sound a little harsh, but the pack’s reaction angle didn’t grab me as much. It’s the McCall pack, and Scott and Liam: they’d feel horrible for any supernatural put in that situation, so I think it might lessen the possibility for relationship and character development specifically related to Theo and their history. I once heard a piece of writing criticism that I think is pretty valid, which is that a pretty short-cut way to make a character sympathetic is to burn all their stuff. I think this would be kind of similar? Theo enduring torture and abuse and then recovering with the pack would certainly make him sympathetic, but it’d also create a temptation to gloss over his past and all the terrible (and, arguably, unforgivable) things he did, and I think that’d be a disservice to both his potential personal growth, and to the pack’s in relation to him.

But, it may be a failure of imagination on my part. I’d welcome anyone’s thoughts on it, and I’ll keep picking at it—see what I might be able to come up with.

Edit: Very quickly realized that I actually screwed up the timeline twice, and that this would be post S6B. In which case I do think it gets more interesting—everyone has more history and they’ve started the shakes reconciliation process—but I do still think it runs into the “burn all the character’s stuff” issue of potentially burying the fact that there are real issues that they would still need to work through, that they might be hesitant to touch because of the newest round of abuse.

Anyway! I’m sorry my reading comprehension was so bad on this one for some reason. I will indeed continue to keep giving it thought.
