[junkiefox]

Theo Raeken, known for his selfishness, does his best to not fall in love with Liam, because he can't destroy him like that, can't put him in the place to choose between him and his pack. Theo believing his not worthy enough to him.

Liam Dunbar, the selfless one, always doing everything for his pack, controlling himself to please everyone, allowing himself to fall for Theo, to love him. Because he can make it work, he can trust Theo, that he changed somehow. He chooses to be selfish one time for Theo. He can deal with the pack later, but he'll fight for him first, to show him his worth saving.

"and you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever" but it's theo to liam after the elevator scene because liam initiated the kiss and it was theo's very first kiss

More Headcanons about Thiam and video games (part 1 here)

im slapping another greek mythology inspired game onto liams game list and claiming that he'd like hades

when theo plays stray, liam watches the entire time. even though he knows the whole game, liam plays it himself after theo finishes it because he loved it so much. and theo watches liam play the entire time too, because he also loved it <3 (im spreading the thiam kitty agenda)

liam almost cried when the wolf fenrir died at the beginning of gow: ragnarök, hated having to fight the wolf garm and then actually cried when fenrir got resurrected

he sees himself in both kratos (having been deceived into killing someone he loves, having to control his rage, evolving from being someone aggressive into being a gentle person/a god of hope and accepting that people will follow him as a leader) and atreus (constantly trying to prove himself, being impulsive and reckless.) the way their father-son relationship and their characters in general develop is very cathartic for him to watch

liam had a pokémon go phase and made theo drive him around constantly during it. he gets into pokémon in general afterwards

Liam's favorite Pokémon

Lucario (fighting, canine-like pokémon. prideful & loyal with a natural sense of justice that only trusts trainers with a righteous heart. can read the aura of their opponent)

Mewtwo (artificial/modified clone to make it the most powerful. it got experimented on, making it extremely vicious and lack compassion. in the 1st movie its later to be shown caring, protective & altruistic. liam makes theo watch the movie/explains its lore to him)

Type: Null/Silvally (chimeric pokémon that was made to be a weapon. need i say more? it turns into silvally when it finds a trusted partner & forms a powerful bond with them)

Umbreon (he mainly likes it bc he thinks it looks cute. its his favorite eevee evolution since its the result of being exposed to moonlight)

Mienshao (fighting pokémon are his favorite & he likes its design)

Resident Evil 7 & 8 (thank you to @greysonalexander for pointing out these parallels to me!!)

RE7 is difficult to play for theo. its main antagonist has some similarities to him (a child turned weapon that longs to have a family/pack, gets called a monster & punished for the aggressive way they go about acquiring it) and the setting (stuck in a house with a family that doesnt act like a family at all) reminds him of how he grew up: stuck in operating theaters with the dread doctors as his "caretakers" and the fake-families he got set up with

he has to take a lot of breaks and sometimes liam takes over for him and plays through the especially emotionally challenging parts for him until theo is ready to continue

RE8 is difficult for both of them. there are a lot of werewolf-like monsters (that were previously human) you have to fight, and the beneviento house + the DLC feature a lot of bullying, which liam struggles with. heisenberg's & moreau's area and miranda's lab are extremely triggering for theo due to heavy themes of experimentation and heisenberg's soldiers having a similar look to the dread doctors

usually they each play through a game on their own, but for RE8 they only play it once together and really take their time. they each take care of the especially triggering parts for the other. they dont skip playing it because it's also quite cathartic for them: they're in a safe environment, have control over what's happening and can pause at any time. they both have problems with being vulnerable and opening up about their trauma, so it's a good tool for them to confront these past experiences and also understand each other even better

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

they both got really excited over botw. liam absolutely hates the horses in the game, but theo has a soft spot for epona and is disappointed that she isnt in it. liam finds out that you can get her through an amiibo and buys it for theo

liam loves that you can change link's clothes and spends a lot of time farming rupees so that he can buy multiple copies of the outfits and dye them different colors

theo always drops the rocks onto the koroks' heads and once tears of the kingdom (the sequel) comes out, he makes it his mission to attach a rocket onto them and send them off into the distance every single time

More Games the Puppy Pack would Play

Pico Park (more yelling. so much yelling. uncoordinated, claws get unsheathed, threats are being made)

Stick Fight: The Game (alec loves the flamethrowers. thiam keep tag teaming everybody and keep winning without even having to use weapons)

Splatoon (alec thought the squid forms looked cool and begged the other members to play it with him. theo is the only one who ever covers the base and keeps reminding everyone that they wouldnt have won if it wasnt for him doing that. corey and liam love playing stealthily, either as snipers or just trying to otherwise surprise their opponents)

not a video game, but: mason got really into DnD when he was younger and tried to rope liam into it, who was only mildly interested. they ended up not being able to play anyway since it was only the two of them. so when the puppy pack forms, mason brings it up again as they now have a big enough group

mason is the DM. thiam basically end up playing themselves as their characters reluctantly fall in love bc they cant stop flirting with each other. alec casts fireball at literally everything. nolan plays a rogue, and all of them judge him for that at first, but he ends up getting really into character and surprising all of them. corey flirts with mason to get information out of him. gwen plays a lesbian barbarian (yes, her favorite bg3 character is karlach.) hayden is basically the only one with braincells

additionally: liam trying to flirt with theo (theo finds it endearing)

[attempted--eloquence]

found out last year I was veeeery iron deficient and anemic after donating a bunch of blood. started getting iron infusions this year and suddenly I am capable of writing again………………inchresting

[logicallyblind]

anyone got any wild/ funky teen wolf headcanons they wanna send me 👀👀 i need motivation to actually start working on my WIPs

[waiting-to-be-lost-at-sea]

Theo: Are these really the top two choices for the colour palette? Why are they both white?

Hikari *drawing pictures from the side*: That’s what my friend Eli said about you and Daddy

[regrettorisotto]

Can you do Brett and Corey? 👉👈 (they're my babies and you already did Theo and Liam)

Oh for sure for sure let me get into it 🙂‍↕️

Let's start with Brett:

Sexuality Headcanon: bi ! Wiiith a preference for guys?

Gender Headcanon: cis man, potentially in a i might be sth else but I've got a game to win so i cant focus on that rn type of way lmao. either way totally comfortable in who he is, has rocked a skirt and will do so again.

A ship I have with said character: i really enjoy Brett x Liam before Thiam happens. I also really enjoy Brett x Liam x Theo all together. I ALSO really like Brett x Nolan or Brett x Nolan x Alec 🙂‍↕️

A BROTP I have with said character: THEO AND BRETT ARE THE PERFECT BEST FRIENDS i scream into the void as they try to drag me back to hell. No fr the fics with them being asshole best friends are everything to me.

A NOTP I have with said character: hmm dont know, if done right i could see him with a lot of the characters tbh. (Except the weird ones ofc. Like keep Peter out of any ships ever please)

A random headcanon: i think he genuinely didnt like Liam back when they went to the same school. But after Liam gets bitten, after the shit he goes through, after Liam grows up, Brett is absolutely baffled by the person Liam has become. He finds himself weirdly fascinated and impressed, by Liams maturity and his strength and his character. He never thought the annoying kid he knew would ever turn into this and its throwing him off. He definitely spends a few days if not weeks after that realization in a very weird huh state whenever he thinks about it.

Liam also once accidentally makes a flirty comment towards Brett and Brett totally malfunctions because i didnt know he could do that

General Opinion over said character: love him!! I think hes so fun and i wish hed had more screentime. Hes also one of my favs, best side character for sure. I also have his hoodie, the one with his jersey number and Talbot written on the back

And Corey !!

Sexuality Headcanon: gayyyy very gay.

Though hes regularly blown away by a woman's beauty, in an aesthetic way anyways. (Him and Mason both, theyre very aestheticly appreciative people 🙂‍↕️)

Gender Headcanon: im realizing I've been exposed to a distinct lack of gender hcs in this fandom. Hm... trans man Corey fits very well imo.

A ship I have with said character: well Mason and Corey are just a given, i dont think either of them have a lot of potential other contestants.

Though ive gotta say, just by sending me this ask and putting their names together, you've given me many thoughts about Brett x Corey. I think Corey is totally Bretts type. And if anyone could fluster Brett it might actually be Corey. And we all know Corey and Mason both drool over Brett regularly..... i need a fic where Mason and Corey try to get Brett to join their relationship and i need it NOW. And then Brett thinks theyre just joking cause hes hot but theyre actually dead serious.... mmm yes.. yes

A BROTP I have with said character: i really enjoy him and Theo as friends. Its soo interesting. Itd take so much time and work and bitter feelings thatll never fully pass but they have such potential to be genuinely good friends. To acknowledge each other fully and develop a mutual respect... ugh yeah

A NOTP I have with said character: uhhh any female character...? Hes canonically gay so. As for guys i dont think i like Corey and Theo as anything other than platonic. Also Scott and Corey just doesnt fit. Scott is their literal dad 🤷‍♂️

A random headcanon: i know its not like this in the show, since both Scott and Liam are able to find Corey when hes invisible, but i think he should really be able to disappear completely. I think when he turns invisible, his scent and his heartbeat should be totally indetectable to any supernatural too. Even supernaturals shouldn't be able to detect him!!

He also should use his ability way more and for anything, just in day to day life, just cause its fun. Through that he also learns tricks like only disappearing his head but not his body, scaring the absolute crap out of Liam the first time he does it. He also sometimes accidentally turns invisible when he's sleeping, and the whole McCall pack has spent at least one whole afternoon frantically searching for him all over when he was just curled up in the armchair in the corner of the room taking a good old nap.

General Opinion over said character: when I first watched the show i found him pretty plain and boring, mostly because I don't think they utilized him and his abilities enough. I have since read some great fics and reconstructed my own image of him and he's a great character!! So much potential to be such a fun character. He's such a little shit, and he's also really brave and a great friend. I like it when fic authors make him hold a grudge against Theo for longer too for example. It gives him a depth that I really like. He's not just this happy go lucky guy, especially not after the stuff he went through.

[junkiefox]

Undercover Thiam where Theo kisses Liam so they can blend in better when hunters are suspicious.

Theo is like "everything is under control now" and Liam is 100% having a bi panic.

[apricusapollo]

new thiam fic because I have no social life whatsoever and I live on ao3

the link

[sammansonn]

not to talk about teen wolf in the year of 2023 but personal thiam hc that liam kisses theo first and when theo asks “I thought you hated me” liam responds “people rarely only feel one emotion at a time”

[theninth09]

re: the blond vs. brunette thing. I hc he lost a bet with mason in middle school and had to get frosted tips as the forfeit but his pride wouldn't let him admit he was Miserable so he decided to rub it in Mason's face that Blondes Do, In Fact, Have More Fun and went all out with the blond for freshman year :) but then supernatural s**t happened and then kept happening and he basically became a caveman with his natural hair around Theo during it all, and on top of that my other hc is that Liam unintentionally grows it out into a lil ponytail in college, and Theo will never admit it but he likes the style very much 🥺

waitttt this is so cute omg. i love this hc and i feel like it makes a lot of sense for their characters too!! liam and mason absolutely have this kind of friendship where they constantly make bets and lovingly laugh at and tease each other. and oh god, now im just thinking about how in s4 when the supernatural shit starts happening how liam distances himself from mason... and how both liam himself and mason watch liams roots grow out, measuring the amount of time they havent properly talked to each other... this fun thing that was done out of friendly spite and a testament of their friendship's dynamic turning into the physical proof of how they havent spent time with each other :(

and them in s5 dying liams hair together when they're talking again... as this ritual for them that they finally figured it out/that mason now knows about liam being a werewolf. they're such cuties to me i love miam friendship so much. also, i know that mason's hair is really short and they dont do much with it anyway (which is very annoying to me, how come most of the male characters get an updated haircut but mason doesnt??? i would've loved to see him with a different Black hairstyle in s5 or 6) but! maybe mason teaching liam how to take care of his hair too, teaching him how to braid it? perhaps when they were younger? sleepovers where they'd have movie marathons and paint each others fingernails and do each others hair... Anyway!

i totally see liam slowly growing his hair out and not dying his roots anymore because it just became too stressful with everything that was happening. like the way its styled sometimes in s6b... he does not look like he knows how to handle that length. its just??? the way it curls at his neck in certain scenes is so silly to me, im sorry. he definitely didnt plan growing it out, that just happened and hes trying to wing it.

and yesss theo secretly enjoying it. i have this hc of my own that he used to braid tara's hair and sometimes takes the longer strands of liam's hair and braids them, almost absentmindedly :') and liam quietly asking him where he learned how to do that. so if liam's hair became even longer, theo could Actually braid it.

also, consider: liam with a man-bun. i feel like he could pull it off. and theo would absolutely never admit it, but he enjoys anything liam does with his hair, because of course he does. even when liam looks ridiculous, he's into that because theo is just that much of a down bad gay loser. he keeps hair ties on his wrist for liam all the time, too.

(link to the referenced blond vs brunette post for those curious)

[akirasstories]

hi, bestie! can i ask for 3, 6 and 8? if it’s not too much 🥺

hii! no, ofc not! thank you for asking 🫶✨

wil post is here

A Liam Dunbar Story

okay, so this one is something that is very dear to me bc liam is such a comfort character to me (anger issues and all). i kinda wanted to think about how liam grew up bc we don't know much about his childhood, real dad or family in general. i have this hc that liam has an anxious attachment style bc he was really worried about scott leaving and clearly down bad when hayden had left. besides that, i think liam's ied is something really inetersting to look at! so this wip just kinda shows liam in different life stages. there's no thiam and it's all based on my own perception of liam! i made a thread about him on twt, the link is here.

this is still a wip bc i'm still figuring out some details even tho it's mainly done (i also started working on a jenna dunbar story, which yeah, is more like an oc of me, but hey, im an adult i can write whatever the heck i want lol)

-----

Liam has always been told that he’s too much.

Too loud. Too angry. Too explosive.

It’s been that way since he was little, long before the wolf got into his blood. Before fangs and claws, before supernatural control was ever something he had to fight for—he was already fighting himself.

It’s exhausting.

Carrying around that much fire, never knowing when it’s going to spill out and burn everything down.

1. It Starts Young

Jenna always said he was just passionate.

That’s how she framed it when teachers sent home notes about his temper, when he cried over the smallest things, when he screamed because someone broke his favorite toy.

"He's not bad," she'd say, firm, even when Liam saw how exhausted she was. "He just feels things more."

But that never made it easier.

Because no matter what his mom said, Liam knew what people thought.

They saw his anger before they saw him.

They saw his tantrums, his outbursts, his inability to control his emotions, and they whispered about what a difficult child he was.

But they never saw how much he tried.

They never saw how hard he fought to hold it in, to stay quiet, to be good.

His father never saw it either.

Or maybe he did and just didn’t care.

Sexy Dagger

as i mentioned in a previous post, this is just pure crack with a very drunk liam who is not aware theo is actually also his theo

-----

Then Liam, blissfully unaware of the emotional crisis he’d just triggered, grinned and leaned in like he was about to share the world’s greatest secret.

“And he’s so good in bed,” Liam added conspiratorially, as if Theo didn’t already know this. “Like, amazing. I mean, I don’t wanna brag, but...”He trailed off, waggling his eyebrows in what he probably thought was subtle but just looked like an exaggerated attempt at sending some kind of drunken Morse code.

Theo rolled his eyes, his cheeks heating despite himself. “Got it, Dunbar. Your boyfriend’s a god among men.”

“Oh, he is,” Liam insisted, grabbing Theo’s arm for emphasis, his expression deadly serious. “And I love him. Like, so much.” He exhaled dreamily, then announced with great importance, “I’m gonna marry him, you know.”

Theo’s heart did something annoyingly soft at that. “You’re gonna marry him, huh?”

“Yup!” Liam nodded with so much enthusiasm he nearly launched himself off the curb. “So you shouldn’t be getting any ideas, okay? ‘Cause you’re nice. Super nice. But my boyfriend? He’s my soulmate.”

Theo stared at him, caught between laughing and kissing the idiot senseless. “Noted. No ideas.”

can't tell what's real (only your skin on mine)

alright, as i actually am still working very hard on this (i am a liar i have literally almost nothing but i promise i WILL start working on it once march is over and i have more free time) i don't have much more snippets to share other than this:

here's another snippet

----

“Someone—?” Liam’s breath hitched, rage and fear twisting in his chest. “You’re not—disposable, Theo!”

Theo’s eyes darkened, his smirk twisting into something bitter. “Aren’t I? Because you sure as hell only call me when you need me.”

The words hit like claws to the chest.

Liam took a step back, jaw clenching. “That’s not—”

“Don’t lie to me,” Theo hissed, stepping forward, his voice low and dangerous. “I know what this is, Dunbar. You use me. I’m the monster you can’t get rid of but can’t stop fucking.”

Liam snapped, shoving Theo back hard enough to make him stumble.

BUT i can share some stuff that will be part of the story:

liam & theo are switches bc i said so

liam feels A LOT, he just doesn't know how to deal with it

scott is a good alpha

theo is an emotionally repressed mess who is yearning and pining after liam like the loser he is (don't worry, istill love you, theo "simp" raeken)

mason is the best and most wonderful best friend (morey is also just very very cute & healthy)

hayden comes back to town

liam really goes through a tough time. the whole pack needs therapy but liam needs it ASAP (no liam, fcking your former enemy is NOT a form of therapy)

[eneiryu]

if you are ever searching for something to write thiam for, i’ve always loved the headcanon that theo didn’t actually remember anything before the doctors and that’s why he was so easily able to like emotionally withdraw from it and it wasn’t until tara that he actually started remembering. no pressure i adore everything you write just thought you could do the hc justice :)

Hmmm very curious. There’s some interesting potentials with that, though I’d have to play around with what that means for his character and his potential growth: if he doesn’t remember Tara, for example, how does that change what happens in the skinwalker prison? Or, you might be suggesting he remembers that, but not his childhood or his parents. 🤔

In any case, interesting idea. Thanks for seeding it!

[logicallyblind]

i’ve added another song inspo to my WIPs cause i mean- tell me these lines do not sCREAM thiam-

i mean liam and theo kidnapped together, liam after one of monroe’s torture sessions delirious thoughts:

theo before and during the torture, looking at his blonde angel in the next cell cataloging every detail before he dies:

theo, after having the time to realise the extend of the damage the dread doctors inflicted upon him but also realising he needs to acknowledge how much he hurt liam during this in order to heal both of them:

theo after provoking the kidnappers to torture him in order to give liam a reprieve because he’s a self sacrifice fool:

theo, delirious after injected with some strand of poison forced to relive his childhood memories again and again and again and-

[hibiscussoupbowl]

I feel like i dont have any headcanons for thiam that much or any ideas for like what they do or anything but thats simply bc i cant think of anything usually aside from things that are canon lol. That being said i do love the hc that theo is good at biology bc of the dread doctors.

I also have maybe one hc that i thought of but its more abt isaac and its that he wears scarves after the icebath bc he is constantly cold after that and thats why he wears scarves lmao.
