the way theo's ultimate ruse on scott was tricking him into believing failing as a leader didn't have to mean he was abandoned by those who trusted him to be one. that he doesn't have to be everything everyone believes him to be in order for someone to stick around. theo stays by his side when everyone else has rightfully turned away in scott's mind. in not only gaining this sole proximity but jumping through all the hoops to earn the trust required to gain it, just to suddenly breach it altogether subverts this so completely, its 180 can only mean that scott was stupid for ever thinking such a thing, he really bought that? theo only being able to sell it so well because he's infatuated with scott's power as a true alpha, which scott was only able to acquire because he's remained of that exact mind despite and in spite of everything that personally told him he shouldn't. believing in all the best parts of people. they really introduced a brand new character in their second to last season and said this guy! he will skin our protagonist alive on screen <3 and he did

#j rewatches teen wolf #i need to stop taking edibles and thinking about teen wolf. of mtv 2011 yeah #like they could have had any character that already knew scott personally disassemble his precise location within the narrative #but no they said a brand new guy will. who will have to convince scott into taking himself apart w his own hands!#who will get him to do it without lifting a finger themself until the final blow #not to woo the audience! literally theo's function in s5 is not to make the audience believe him. there is no gotcha hehe writer moment #the audience is clued in so early on to theo's bad intentions #it is solely a deception meant for scott #can anyone hear me #gnashing my teeth like a crazy person have you heard of sceo. have you tried the 2015 sceo #deranged #like tricking scott into thinking maybe he doesn't have to be the true alpha knight in shining all the time at least not w this One person #and in the same episode. in the same Room theo reveals it's a trick we're shown scott's first attempt to strike back #is cut off by a line of mountain ash. thee same physical barrier the audience sees scott break as he gains his status as a true alpha.#and scott's unable to do it again! he's unable to Be That again and it's what seals him in his tomb!#physical proof he isn't even the thing theo is going to kill him for #and yet it's the one salvageable thing theo is convinced is still of value in him. valuable enough to lie and betray and kill him for #DERANGEDD #and the way theo prepares for the moment to steal it is by getting scott's beta. the physical manifestation of his status as an alpha #to no longer believe in him either #and liam will only get there to a murderous degree on a fucking. supermoon so he has to somehow line that up exactly #theo singlehandedly writes most of season 5 himself. he crosses every t and dots every i personally!#and STILL fumbles his main character moment. thee character of all time i think #i could do this all day
