Satomi Ito and Transformation

This is written for @teenwolf-meta's Meta May Mondays. Many thanks to @momentofmemory for looking this over for me!

Be aware that there is some discussion of internment camps for Japanese Americans as depicted in s3b of Teen Wolf.

One of the characters I think about a lot when I think about transformation is Satomi Ito. 

We first meet her in The Fox and The Wolf during an interaction with Noshiko. During this interaction, Noshiko offers her some contraband aspirin she’d acquired just for her. I love how touched Satomi seems before she responds. 

Satomi responds that she prefers to suffer, which is one of my favorite lines in the entire show, especially after it’s revealed that Satomi’s “monthly migraines” are actually her way of excusing herself during the full moon. 

During this episode, we watch Satomi transform from a an older woman that seems to have some idea what Noshiko is (the young fox vs the older, wiser animal) to a bitten beta trying to survive in extraordinary circumstances. 

I really love that Satomi thinks of her lycanthropy as suffering- despite what we’ve been shown of various wolves trying to survive the full moon, there’s still this pervasive idea that the bite is, as Derek says, “a gift.” 

Satomi clearly seems to think otherwise, but she also isn’t afraid to use her lycanthropy to her advantage. 

Then we see Satomi transformed- a lot like Noshiko and the others in the interment camp- into someone who has been pushed too far, once too many times when she throws the torch into the angry mob. 

She and Noshiko work together to defeat the Nogitsune- another example of pain and fear transforming both Noshiko and Rhys into people that have been pushed too far and become violent as a result- much like the angry mob outside the gates at Oak Creek. 

The next time we see Satomi is in Weaponized. She appears during a fight in the rain with Deaton, and her eyes are now red. She’s been transformed from a beta to an alpha and from someone who struggles to control her anger to someone who has found solace in the religion of Buddhism. 

I love the interaction with Deaton and have a lot of theories about them being friends. Satomi-san is a familiar form of address, and I love it for them. 

I need to go slightly off-topic for a minute because the show doesn’t give us anything about how and why Satomi becomes an alpha. I have a number of theories, technically each as plausible as the other. 

The Satomi is also a true alpha theory is probably the one with the least basis in canon- though given the age difference, it could have happened nearly a hundred years ago. That might explain her closeness with Deaton and perhaps his ability to recognize a true alpha. 

It is probably more likely that after leaving Oak Creek, Satomi, still angry and violent finds herself in a position where she is forced to kill an alpha and gains the power in that manner. 

One of my favorite thoughts is that she joins a pack after Oak Creek where the alpha is inclined toward Buddhism and learns from them. At some point the alpha becomes injured and Satomi is forced to kill them in order to become the alpha and take over the pack.

Since we don’t know, the sky is the limit as far as guesses go, which is fun. 

It’s also interesting that Satomi’s entrance is in the episode where a virus causes shapeshifters to lose control of their transformation her growth in this episode is total control of her own transformation- which we see when she uses her powers to help fight off assassins in the hospital at the end of the episode. 

We see Satomi again at the end of the assassin arc and continue to be connected to her pack through Brett and Lori. 

The last we hear of her, she has sacrificed herself in a futile effort to save her pack during 6b. We find this out from Jiang and Tierney, two other wolves in Satomi’s pack. An interesting bit about transformation in their arc relates to the Jiang and Nolan friendship. 

I love their moment when you learn that they had been friends once and it really helps with Nolan’s growth in realizing that maybe his recent thought processes require some evaluation. 

I hate that Satomi’s death is off-screen but it allows me to theorize that maybe she doesn’t die entirely, since people often die only temporarily on Teen Wolf. 

Then again, what is death beyond another kind of transformation? 

I don’t know, but since Satomi is Buddhist it is entirely possible she has been reborn into another life.

FMK: Freddy, Tierney, Linden

"Marry Freddy, my dearest darling, without a shadow of a doubt. I'd do it tomorrow after Charms class if she asked. And, listen...I'm aware that T and Lin are currently in the 'off' portion of their on-again-off-again epic romance, but...I may have recently caught them in a compromising situation in a very interesting secret subterranean dungeon chamber, and...well, who of sound mind and body would turn down an invite to be the cheese in a sandwich like that?"

“You do have quite the nick for getting yourself into trouble don’t you?”, Zestia grumbled.

“I had the situation under control.”, Tierney argued.

“You did not.”

“Says you.”

“Yes!”, Zestia yelled, slamming her hands on the table.

Tierney flinched on the chair she had been pushed into. Uh-oh.

“It seems like I’ve been giving you a little bit too much freedom lately. It seems like you have forgotten what’s important now. You, unfortunately, are the key to my life! And until I get this little problem fixed you need to make sure you stay alive. Do you understand?”

Tierney clenched her jaw. “You’ve made yourself pretty clear.”

“Hmm, I also think I need a way to get other’s hands off of you. Since you’re apparently so popular. And to make sure you understand me.”

Tierney tensed up; it was clear where this was going. She kept her eyes trained on Zestia and tried to anticipate her next step. Yet she still wasn’t prepared as her arm shot forward, grabbed her shirt, and threw her to the floor. She could feel the hardwood bruising her hip and shoulder but there was barely time to worry about that.

Zestia stepped above the Tiefling and in the same motion drew her rapier. Trapping the girl there on the ground. “Now. Where to put it…Where to put it. What’s not already full of scars”, she mumbled more to herself than to Tierney. Tierney tried to escape, in one swift motion she robbed back and tried to wiggle to the side out of reach of the rapier but Zestia was fast. She stepped forward, unfortunately on her throat.

“Aww, come on, are you really that naïve girl? To think you can escape me? The only thing you’re achieving here is writing in the dust below my heel.”

Tierney gritted her teeth, from pain and spite and turned her face away from the other.

“Oh. Yeah. That’ll do.”, Zestia said, suddenly sounding happier. She swiftly laid the blade of her rapier  against Tierney’s turned away cheek. Forcing her with a little pressure to turn her head. “Look. At. Me.”

Tierney jerked away from the blade and looked at Zestia angrily.

“I think I have a place idea.”, Zestia said.

Tierney’s eyes widened before hardening. She would not give her the satisfaction of a reaction. She would not. And then she saw her kidnapper raise the weapon and prepared. But the burning sting didn’t come where she thought it would. Instead her face was suddenly on fire. She gritted her teeth and waited the worst out. Her face felt wet, only now she realised she had automatically closed her eyes. Damnit! Quickly she ripped them open, only to stare into Zestia’ smug face.

“Wakey-wakey, Tiefling.”, she cooed.

Tierney wanted to murder her. Patience.

Zestia wiped the bloody point of the weapon on the girl’s uninjured cheek and looked at her work. For anyone outside it would just look messy. Two parallel lined cuts, left and right connected by a diagonal cut. Over the entirety of her face. But for her curser it would be a clear message. She shielded(?) the rapier again and let herself fall down onto the Tiefling’s abdomen. The other grunted. Gripping her jaw roughly she forced eye contact. “Let this be a clear message to you and everybody else. And don’t make me repeat myself. Then she let go of her and went for her evening routine. “Oh and Tierney”, she said without turning around

“What?”, Tierney spat out

“Be quiet.”, she simply said.

Tierney hissed and waited for her tormentor to finish her bathroom routine so she could take a look at the wound bleeding over her face. She just had to hold out. This was just another job. That she didn’t get payed for. Ah well no one else’s gonna do it. Finally, the bathroom was free. Let’s see what damage she had done. Tierney walked to the mirror and scoffed at what she saw. A “Z”. The prick cut a “Z” over her face. Way to leave a mark, she rolled her eyes and started to try and disinfect it with her herbs. What’s one more scar. What’s one more scar….

Oh, oh, could I ask for First family Christmas, so it's the first time Isaac spends xmas with Brett (and Satomi and Lori and the rest?) pls

Isaac grips the handle of his bag. It's filled with packages wrapped in glittering red and green paper.

"You're gonna have a great time," Scott reassures him as he drives the jeep off the road onto a train in the Preserve you wouldn't notice if you didn't already know it was there.

Strains of Silver Bells play on the radio, and Isaac hums along. It's been years since he's been invited to a family Christmas.

Memories of the last time his family had been intact for the holidays flit through his head as the jeep rumbles along the path. Scott sings off tune to the song on the radio and Isaac thinks about Camden belting "Jinge Bells, Isaac Smells" at the top of his lungs while his mom told him to stop.

His dad had been distant, but loving then and hadn't protested when Isaac climbed into his lap. Camden had thrust a present at him, a kind of apology. A first edition Batman comic.

Scott pulls in front of Satomi's house and grabs his own bag of gifts from the back of the jeep.

Brett waves at him from the sprawling porch covered in mismatched furniture. Some of it even looks like it might be meant for outdoors. He catches a glimpse of Lori from the window and her friend Tierney.

He's nervous as he and Scott step inside.

Scott hands Satomi the bag of gifts with a little bow and she smiles fondly.

"Thank you, Scott. And for bringing Isaac." She hands him yet another bag of gifts. "For the children at the hospital."

Scott grins. "Thank you." And he pulls Satomi into a hug. She blushes and laughs and tells Scott that he's going to give an old woman a heart attack.

Isaac stands awkwardly, watching until Brett finds him and steers him to a towering Christmas tree, beside a menorah and Buddhist shrine.

"One of the smaller kids asked about Hanukkah this year," Brett says with a shrug, "Satomi's response was to teach him about it. If a small bundle of energy starts babbling to you about Maccabees just smile and nod."

Isaac swallows and sets his bag under the tree.

Brett grabs his hand with a small smile as soon as it's free. It's warm, and Isaac doesn't want to let go, even to hang up his coat and hat, and scarf.

Brett kisses him once in what he calls the coat room.

Jiang catches them and pats Brett on the shoulder. "Congratulations. You finally found someone to put up with your bullshit."

Isaac opens his mouth to defend Brett's honor, but Brett just smiles and punches Jiang back. "C'mon we don't want to miss dinner."

Dinner is a plethora of dishes from around the world. Brett helps Isaac with his chopsticks, and some of the smaller kids groan, moan and make kissy noises at them.

Satomi smiles, and Isaac feels warm in a way he hasn't at Christmas in years.

Satomi's pack is full and vibrant, and after dinner, the kids are allowed to open gifts first. The five small ones babble excitedly about the dreidels they all get from a young boy who looks so proud of himself.

There are thoughtful presents and gift cards, and Brett smirks when Lori opens a lump of coal. She sticks her tongue out at him, and he laughs when his gift from her is a different lump of coal.

Isaac watches his face, the way the tree lights glow against his skin. He barely notices when Brett places a package in his hands.

Isaac's heart flutters as he peels away the paper to reveal a soft, silk scarf. It's a deep maroon with the letters "IL and BT" awkwardly embroidered on each end. The stitches are shaky and off-center, and Isaac feels like he must be glowing.

"This is... it's too much," he murmurs.

Brett shrugs. "Satomi said it would help me with my anger. It did help."

Isaac hands Brett his gift, a little lacrosse keychain. It's not nearly as thoughtful.

Brett seems to love it anyways. He clips it to his keyring as Isaac wraps the scarf around his neck.

He cuddles close to Brett and leans his head on his shoulder as the pack continues to open gifts, laugh, and joke. He feels soft and warm and tingly.

He feels happy.

Satomi winks at him before pulling one of the children onto her lap along with the book he'd just unwrapped.

Zestia I think

@princessofhe11 What do you think?

I need to see more unstable Whumpers. I don’t mean in the “Ahh I’m so crazy and sadistic I’m going to chop off all your limbs and yell at you for no reason because I’m so emotional and violent rahhh” (Even though I also love that trope)

I’m talking about Whumpers who are just as scared as Whumpee is. Ones who struggle to express their feelings. All they do is hurt people. When they’re just so desperate for something to call their own, something that can give them that unconditional love that no one gives them— Especially when there used to be someone a long time ago that did but the pain from that person leaving has made them so closed off. When they’ve become so isolated that can’t even look at Whumpee, much less touch them (But there are nights when Whumpee wakes up to feel a shaky, tentative hand resting on their back.) I’m talking about the kind of Whumpers who went through some stuff. The kind that wake up screaming after another nightmare and Whumpee knows that in a few minutes they’ll come to take that pain out on them. There are probably so many more examples but god do I love unstable Whumpers <3
