#teen wolf s5

[belovedbastardremus]

I think something I'm never not going to be sad about it how UNDERUSED the potential of the chimeras in Teen Wolf was. Like what do you mean they're fucked up vaguely human experiments, and then we never talk about it again ?!?!

COREY HAD WINGS MOTHERFUCKER. Mason was made to host a centuries old French mythical creature. Donovan had gaping sets of teeth growing out of the palms of his hands. Hayden's eyes glowed like fucking glowsticks!!!!

Like, what does that mean for them on the daily ? What changed, can they still have a day to day life as they knew it ? Did their diet change, you can't tell me those bodies processed things the same way human do.

I continue to think we should have seen them live as a group, like yeah they have their homes but maybe they hung out together in between evil deeds. They could've be seen discovering the Doctor's lair, having Theo really explain what it means to be a chimera to them. It would have been absurd and hilarious, it would've made Theo killing them at the end to be much more tragic.

I have this headcanon that since they're inhuman and extremely resistent their bodies adapt to the extremes but not to the daily, like how science can be at the same time very mechanic and awfully delicate.

It'd be hilarious for one of them to be like "hey Theo I don't feel good" and have him answer with a straight face "take a glass of ac1d it'll settle your stomach's ph".

Or caffeine losing it's potency and Theo explaining to them how to do hard dr0gs cause it's basically their version of a cup of coffee. See, that is weird as fuck, that's suspicious, that underlines the horror of what the Doctors did to them. Imagine Hayden and Liam hanging out and she just does a line of c0ke like "don't worry bout it it'll help me finish my geography paper."

And at the same time, they're extremely fragile cause the Doctors didn't know exactly what they were doing. Imagine one of them eating something they used to be allergic to thinking "surely that's taken care off" and almost died the stupidest death in supernatural history.

I like to think that after Kira came back from skinwalkers she met with Isaac to catch up on everything.

I need to know his reaction to Scott having real beta, the benefactor, Theo and Dread Doctors, Kira leaving with skinwalkers .

over looming threat...

[deanloveshiscaspie]

I really love how Liam shows up at the start of s4 seeming like he was going to be angry and violent and mess shit up. Like a new Jackson. But, then it turns out that Liam is actually the second coming of the cinnamon roll king, Scott McCall. Baby cinnamon roll has some anger and mental health issues, so he needs lots of support.

Then, by the start of s5, Liam is blatantly just a pile of anxiety. Can’t sit in a desk that isn’t his usual and desperately trying to be normal.

Liam is 100% Scott, Stiles, and Derek’s perfect baby. Scott contributed the cinnamon roll aspect. Stiles gave the anxiety. Derek gave the anger.

Teen Wolf s5 would've been exponentially more exciting if Theo and Stiles had just fucked.

ugh. Theo and Stiles should just bang it out. don't bore me.

I think actually one of the wildest parts of November 5th 2020 (if any can be narrowed down) was when you would very occasionally see an entirely unrelated post. Like somehow there were some people blogging about just normal shit that night and it was like standing in a costumed rave that was on fire and then just seeing one person completely calm checking emails. And all you could think was How can you not be seeing this???

[readgi]

I know the teen wolf fandom is pretty much dead, but I need to know how y'all feel about Theo Raeken?

Cause I haven't even looked at this show since the last season came out, but ALL OF A SUDDEN I'm obsessed with that boy and his character development on season 6 (or the little we got anyways) all over again

And thiam too but anyways

Is that a red flag? Should I be concerned?

[jjsstars]

season5 theo putting the dread doctor mask on makes me so ill because half his pack is gone and he’s listening to the dude he kidnapped and he just killed one of the only people that trusted him and now- now he’s becoming the monsters that have tormented him since he was a child

drabble #15 - attention to detail

kai parker x reader

summary: kai admires the way you watch tv

tags: tv watching, fangirl behavior, neurodivergent behavior (?)

word count: 1k

a/n: neurodivergent and/or fangirl reader; idk, this is something i do, idk if i'm crazy for it, or if people relate to it. lmk if i'm crazy. i just want my weird habits validated by kai, mmkay! 😅

Your finger hovers over the exit button on your screen as someone enters the room. Anxiety grows in your chest, but you try to not let it show. They circle around you, likely to join you on the couch, but hopefully not.

“Hey,” the person greets. You relax at the voice of Kai. Despite his reputation, you quite like the guy. He has his own demons, and is learning his way about the world, and while you have nothing in common otherwise, you kind of relate to him in that way. 

“Hi.”

You don’t see it, but he smiles at your response. Just the acknowledgement of his presence is nice to hear. Especially in the gentle, non-accusatory tone you use with him. “Whatcha watching?” He saw a glimpse when he passed behind the couch, but didn’t want to make you uncomfortable by lingering. 

“Oh, just this show I’ve been into for the last couple weeks,” you say, not wanting to reveal the title and give him an opportunity to poke fun. 

“Ah, the one you were watching yesterday? With the- with that actor you like?”

A small blush rises to your cheeks as you squeak out a “yes”, and Kai finds it absolutely adorable. 

“What season are you on?” He asks, no judgment about the show, nor the actor you like. A wave of confidence splashes over you. 

“Six, technically, but I’m rewatching season four before I watch anymore of six, because I’m not ready to process new information.” You chide yourself immediately. What a strange thing to say. And you were doing so well until then. 

Kai narrows his eyes, but then shrugs. “Okay.”

“Like, something big just happened in season six. They’ve already introduced the Big Bad, but the Big Bad in season five was so detrimental to the team - it killed a bunch of folks, and mentally scarred a whole bunch of others - that I’m not really ready to deal with another, so I’m rewatching a season where I know what happens, so that I already know who gets hurt, so it’s less painful to watch. Plus, rewatching episodes always helps me see things I miss the first time, which gives me a better understanding of the plot and the characters.”

Kai tries to not study you like a bug, but he’s fascinated by your explanation. The empathy you have for fictional characters is something he can’t help but admire, as is your desire to soak up every detail like a sponge. He wonders what it would be like to care so much that watching any further would genuinely hurt him. For the first time, he wishes he could love, so he could love like you do.

“Sorry,” you say after a moment of silence, “I just… infodumped on you. That was probably really confusing and weird.”

“No, not weird. It’s nice.” Kai tries to reassure you, but can’t find the words he needs you to hear. 

“I should probably just watch the season and have one big cry at the end like a normal person.”

“No, I think your way is better.”

“Wait, really? Most people tell me it’s just a tv show and to get over it.”

“Well, yeah, it’s a show, but it’s something you love, so who gives a fuck how you like to watch it? They’re not watching it with you; they’re not even in the room. I like the way you say you take the time to learn the characters and understand the plot. Y’know, someone put a lot of effort into that show you’re watching, and you’re enjoying it the way they’d want it to be enjoyed. Like it’s a piece of art in a museum, and you’re pointing out all the brush strokes and reading the plaque to understand the medium.” When you give him a confused glance, he smiles sheepishly. “I know a little about a lot of things. Went to a couple museums when I was stuck in 1994.” 

“Ah.”

“But my point is, coming from a sociopath, the empathy you have for the characters in your show is really cool. And I can understand the rewatching bit, too. I haven’t rewatched anything with the intensity that you have, but obviously, I could only watch anything made pre-1994, and to hell if I’m watching anything black and white, so I’ve seen some of the same movies once or twice, or more. Sometimes I get tired of rewatching the same stuff, but sometimes, I’ll also pick out a funny line I missed the first time, or a hand gesture that reveals a character knew something all along.”

You smile at him, grateful for his words and engagement in the conversation. You feel a little less childish about your own habits, especially knowing Kai’s not one to lie or hold back his true feelings about anything. For him to go as far to say he recognizes your empathy is a lot, and nothing you’d expect from the newly-reformed serial killer. 

“Thank you,” you blurt out, not wanting to leave him hanging.

“For what?”

“For not making me feel stupid about my interests.”

His eyes narrow. “Who makes you feel stupid?”

“A lot of people. Family… Damon.”

“Well Damon tries to make everyone feel stupid, and family sucks.”

You snort. “True.”

“If he says anything again, he can go through me.” Kai sends you a wink. 

“Okay,” you giggle in response. 

“Good.”

The man watches you for a minute longer. You press your spacebar to make the show play, and he takes note of the smile that spreads across your face as the characters fill the screen once more. He wants to ask to watch it with you, but doesn’t want to push just yet, so he doesn’t. He’s making progress, though, and gaining your trust. Hopefully soon, you’ll be less shy around him. 

And you think the same, feeling his eyes on you. Your trust isn’t something that’s easily given, but this isn’t the first time Kai’s made you feel comfortable, and you have a feeling it won’t be the last. He stays on the other end of the couch, but sticks to himself, and within a couple minutes, laughs quietly at something on his phone. The air between you is pleasant. His words run through your head once more, as the same scene plays for maybe the tenth time, but this time, you aren’t as worried about the people in the room as you watch.

i think the real reason i’ve been so obsessed with sceo recently is because they’re such a perfect representation of what I mean when I talk about the trope of devotion and obsession to the point of destruction.

in s5 theo was so envious and obsessed with scott (his power, his compassion, the loyalty and devotion he inspired in his pack, etc) that he did everything he could to steal it and when that didn’t work he had to destroy it. on top of that scott was kind and compassionate to him, specifically, when he’d never had anyone care about what happened to him, except, possibly, scott and tara when they were kids, both of whom he killed. he knew that scott would have helped him if he’d come clean in the beginning. and he hated scott for it. he hated him because he loved him. and theo doesn’t know how to cope with being loved except to be destructive in the face of it.

and scott as a victim of violence but also abuse from theo. theo being so emotionally manipulative that he drags every member of the pack away from scott and then makes himself the only person that scott can lean on. theo knowing every nook and cranny of scott and his psyche in a way that no one, not even stiles who’s known him the longest or lydia who understands him the best, can compare to. and scott needing him for it. theo being the only person who doesn’t put him on a pedestal but still believes in him. scott needing his love so desperately to the point of letting him destroy him. scott still loving his murderer and abuser enough to want to save him but also having enough love from his pack to not need him anymore and enough self respect not to do so.

i think what they had was toxic and a tragedy but because im a sucker for happy endings, especially for people who are so intertwined that they have no option but to exist in each others orbit, i like to think that scott and theo end up being the only people that can really see each other for who they really are, not just because they know each other so well but because they are the direct victims of theo’s worst mistakes and that gives them both a kind of insight into each other that no one else gets to see. I think scott is the only person that can convince theo he’s becoming a better person and theo is the only person who can convince scott that it’s ok to break sometimes. I think theo needs scott’s validation and approval and when scott lets him get close to liam and the puppy pack, he knows he has it. i think scott needs to believe that people can change and get better and when theo does his best to help people and be kind to people who don’t deserve it, he believes it. I think theo needs scott to tell him he was a monster and i think scott needs theo to tell him he was a victim. I think they need each other in a way they both refuse to acknowledge but they will still magically end up sitting together in silence on a rooftop every once in a while just to revel in the fact that they can.

and maybe, eventually, they become real friends or lovers

teen wolf au: violet becomes a chimera

“Not only do you have the power to do something, but you care enough to do it.”

Melissa McCall knows her child so damn well. Scott McCall is so damn GOOD.

I think what most people/writers forget in tw fanfics (often thiam's) is that Theo wasn't just a regular bad guy that did some shits to the pack. He's not like Peter who screw them over a few times, nor like Argent who tried to kill them before but made up after. He isn’t like any bad guys they've ever fought because he never hurt from the outside but from the inside. He can't be forgiven as easy as them, even for Scott because it was Theo's who manipulated him and his pack and made them fall apart, made them ahve doubts on eachothers.

Theo's a master at manipulation. We have to remember that, that guy didn't just come and bond and then tried to kill Scott.

He helped them, he became friend, took their trust, each by each, even Stiles at some point. Everyone. He was a friend to almost everyone, he erased every doubt they could have built. He even went to the point where he was so in sync with them he hugged Scott, Malia and Mason in the same 5 minutes, and they were happy. He made them get attached to him, really trust him. It's not just a small emotional attack, it's even a divine move at this point. Even the flaws he had (giving his library card to Donovan, his father signature) he corrected them with lies but gave sense to it.

People don't realise how he was strong and how his betrayal hurt the pack way more than any other enemy did. He shred the pack apart, used his bond with each one to turn them against each other without even putting any doubts on himself.

Anyway I was rewatching s5 so I've picked up everything and since I've been reading some fics I don't see much people talking about it and making it seems like the pack to forgive Theo was easy as forgiving Argent.
