#wolfblood season 3

[chosenimagines]

Since I am re-watching Wolfblood after a few years I have something to say about the ending of season 2 I have got that on my mind since I've first watched it

HOW COULD THEY BASICALLY CANCEL THE SHOW AFTER TWO SEASONS?! WE JUST HAD 20 EPISODES OF MADDY AND ONE OF MYDIAN

What bullshit to make the alpha leave after two seasons leaving her pack with her soulmate behind and then he follows her after season 3 and the original wolfbloods are gone

I hate it

Maybe I am going to re write it and make my own version of wolfblood which won't be over that quick

[snazzycyborg]

Season 3 of Wolfblood is bad, but I’m 56 seconds into season 4 and this is already worse

[zzzero-percent]

it is absolutely not fair that i can't be a wolfblood. maybe it's time to go into the woods like i used to and just touch dirt and pretend like im doing eolas

[belle-of-a-time]

I’m having wolfblood thoughts because when Alric said that “you already have an alpha” and Rhydian doesn’t even have to think before being like “her name is Maddy actually” and that got me thinking about how he is so willing to battle for her at any moment.

His mom says like “the alpha male to her female” in reference to Jana and Rhydian but like… she has to know that he isn’t alpha? He’ll be in charge if he has to but consistently he’s Maddy’s sounding board.

Jana says she thinks he stole the laptop when it goes missing but he literally wouldn’t even consider it unless maddy asked him to or if Maddy had suggested it in passing. Like if Maddy had SUGGESTED “hey we could take it to show Shannon how easy she could lose it and expose our secret like just hide it” she could even backtrack but if Maddy is spitballing Rhydian would probably have done it and handed it to her like “you said maybe this was a good idea :))”

If they’d started dating sooner I guarantee a regular occurrence would have been

Maddy: wow the flowers are so pretty this time of year

Rhydian already holding a Massive bouquet of handpicked flowers: definitely for sure haha :)

This boy doesn’t Actually want to be in charge he’s the muscle. He’s Maddy’s rubber duck with a machine gun. This boy is so second in command coded, half the time all Maddy has to say is “Rhydian!!” And he flies off the handle. And the whole time Maddy is stressed that he has feelings for Jana he’s like I am growing Maddy’s pack! Make Maddy stronger. I am a very GoodBoy :)

When things go wrong the First thing he does is look at Maddy for orders. And she usually gives them. God I WISH we’d gotten more of them after season 3.

[spinnysocks]

wolfblood had such an impact on me as a child and still does to this day /pos

it's a teens show that'd probably be considered cringe in this day in age but honestly FUCK CRINGE CULTURE i look past the editing of it's time bc it's got such good werewolf kin / wolf kin / shapeshifter kin vibes!!!!

there's very prevalent themes of humanity vs animalistic, wolfbloods as a minority and victims of humans, and returning to nature which imo go SO hard

i really suggest it! it's a long show with multiple seasons, so if you're not a fan of that there are also books

some of the music is great too, the intro has the best wolf kin / werewolf kin theme song to ever exist I LIVE AND BREATHE FOR "A PROMISE THAT I'LL KEEP"!!! /vvpos

i also remember there being a pc game of it that i used to play for HOURS. i can't find the exact one anymore but that shit was my everythinggg. thanks silly cool wolfblood show for shaping me <3

✨ rules: list your ten favorite characters from ten separate fandoms, then tag ten people!

I was tagged by my other braincell @patolemus our rants are iconic lol. This took a while because I genuinely had to think about this. I picked characters that I will defend with my life and can yap about for hours.

1. Lucerys Velaryon (House of the Dragon) - I can't explain it, but that's my son.

2. Regulus Black (Harry Potter) - The Regulus that I've created is top tier because canon gives us nothing.

3. Isaac Lahey (Teen Wolf) - He's tied with Stiles, but not enough people talk about Isaac, so here I am. What do you know about Isaac Lahey?

4. Spencer Hastings (Pretty Little Liars) - Hot take, Spencer and Caleb were cute together and made sense. Fight me lol.

5. Jeremiah Fisher (The Summer I Turned Pretty) - I haven't read the books but I will defend show!Jeremiah always.

6. Finney Blake (The Black Phone) - I just want to give him a hug.

7. Steve Harrington (Stranger Things) - Steve Harrington I know what you are because same.

8. Gale "Buck" Cleven (Masters of the Air) - If you watched this show, you'll understand.

9. Danny Fenton (Danny Phantom) - I had a crush on them and the trans!Danny tag changed my life.

10. Maddie Smith (Wolfblood) - I don't know if anyone watched this show but I was obsessed. I did stop watching after the second season because Maddie left the show so I have no idea what happened after the second season.

I do not talk to 10 people so give me your ten characters if you see this. There are a few people that I follow that I'd be interested in seeing their 10 so @lumaxmayclair @xaphrin @letbenfuck2021 @jesslikestowrite

This is so niche and dumb but do you or your followers have any idea where I could watch the extended / uk versions of wolfblood? Specifically seasons 1-3? I'm trying to find them and I have no skills beyond searching "wolfblood series 1 uk version online"

Hi there! Don't worry, this is not dumb at all, I also spent weeks agonizing trying to find the extended UK version of the episodes when I first got into the show last year.

For all the seasons, you can go through the BBC iPlayer site. Unfortunately, you do need to be in the UK to access the episodes, so it won't work if you're in the states or elsewhere. However, if you can get your hands on a VPN service and adjust your settings to the UK, you can still watch.

Other than that, here's a ~secret~. I have all of season 1 with the UK episodes uploaded to this Google Drive folder. I'm planning on getting season 2 eventually, but my old laptop broke before I had a chance to download the episodes, so it'll take some time.

I know this isn't the most helpful of answers, and I'm honestly still trying to find other sites that have the extended episodes available without a VPN but it's been an impossible challenge. If you ever figure out alternatives, anon, I'd be happy to hear. And that goes to other folks too - if y'all know any sites where you could watch the full episodes, please share!

Let's Talk About Thasmin

Chapter 3 & Conclusion - I Wish This Would Go On Forever

So after analysing Thirteen and Yaz individually, what do I have to say about the ship itself, Thasmin?

A f/f doctor relationship was long overdue, so I understand the hype from lesbian, bi and pan thassies. Whilst Bill, Clara, River, Vastra and Jenny helped lay the groundwork, a sapphic main couple involving the Doctor was deserved. I also understand why aspec specifically asexual thassies are drawn to it. The two’s commitment to each other isn’t dependent on sex or conventional romance. It exists outside the pressure of what a ‘normal’ relationship is ‘supposed’ to be. For acespec fans, especially sapphic acespec fans, it’s nice to have a reminder that romance without sex is possible and just as meaningful and fulfilling as relationships that have it. It’s also a nice reassurance for arospec fans that conventional romance isn’t the be-all and end-all of relationships and connections between people. I also like Thasmin’s slow burn between the characters. I’m aware of the jarring double standards Thasmin gets held to. Many straight ships I enjoy like Maddy and Rhydian from Wolfblood or Clyde and Rani from SJA don’t get their big love declaration til the end of the season or the show itself. None of these ships gets accused of baiting the audience because they didn’t kiss until late or never kissed at all. Because heterosexuality is seen as the default sexuality, straight people and characters can explore romance and sex fully, or not at all, and still be securely heterosexual. Queer people on the other hand face the constant battle of fighting to prove that we’re real, we exist, we’re ‘valid’. At what point does existence stop needing permission? Not all queer people get the perfect coming out and perfect relationship on the first go. There’s a space for that discomfort and pain to be addressed and it’s nice to know you’re not alone in it. Thasmin can work as that space, for queer people that never got that happy ending.

I do take an issue however, with fans calling Thasmin asexual specifically because there’s no kiss or any sexual activity whatsoever. It really rubs me the wrong way I’ll be honest. Kissing isn’t inherently sexual or proof of sexual attraction. People can kiss their friends and family. This has weird implications for the VastraJenny and BillHeather kisses, the former was to save Jenny’s life and the latter was romantic but not sexual. Plus there’s nothing about kissing in the definition of asexuality. Kissing or any other physical activity doesn’t ruin an ace person or couple’s asexuality. This rhetoric is just purity culture. What makes an ace couple ace is having ace people in it. That’s it. Plus when you look at the actual reason for the lack of Thasmin kiss, it wasn’t because Chibnall intentionally wrote Thasmin as ace but that he thought the ship ending with no kiss would’ve been more devastating. It wasn’t that he didn’t them want them to at all or the BBC not allowing it. Even then, there wasn’t enough explicit information for us to distinguish between lack of kiss because of purity culture, asexuality or just not wanting to. And the compulsory sexuality throughout the Thasmin discourse is the consequence of that. Though not mainstream, representations of ace pairings do exist. Repeating previous examples, Abbi and Hannah in The Imperfects don’t kiss. Darren and Ca$h in Heartbreak High do. Sakuko and Takahashi from Koisenu Futari don’t do anything romantic or sexual at all, not even holding hands (they’re not a romantic couple though but a QPR). There are also many forms of non-sexual intimacy. Maybe have the kiss on the cheek or forehead. Maybe they could’ve hugged and embraced instead. Maybe have the characters say ‘I love you’. Chibnall could’ve written Thasmin as asexual intentionally, having the lack of kiss and other physical activity to be an explicit form of representation for repulsed and averse aspecs. There are many forms of asexual couples Chibnall could’ve taken inspiration from with Thasmin and he didn’t take a single one. I love a good thinkpiece but when queer fans are having to headcanon and interpret the queer themes for you, that’s a massive problem. ‘We’re here, we’re queer!’ isn’t just for decoration. It’s a public statement and declaration of existence. Thasmin could’ve been the perfect ship for the forms of queerness that can’t make this declaration because of lesser visibility and internal struggles. And it didn’t. And that’s a real shame.

I don’t think whether or not Thasmin being planned matters. If it was, then it wasn’t implemented well. It if wasn’t, there were still opportunities for it to be fully fleshed out that never happened. In a similar way to the Fugitive Doctor, Chibnall’s last minute additions aren’t inherently bad in my opinion because there was still potential to for those ideas to develop. Plus, they were pretty good ideas! But when you have essentially a white cishet writer creating marginalised representation as a last minute thing, only to exist as a plot twist or intentionally written but only as a short-term storyline, that’s not meaningful representation. Queer representation deserves to be fully explored and fleshed out, not just left for the end of the era when there were so many more moments to give it screen time. With lesbian, bi and pan creators creating the real groundbreaking sapphic representation I’m not patting Chibnall on the back, the same way I’m not patting any showrunner on the back for Black representation when the Black writers in the room is still at 0. I appreciate queer writers being involved with Thasmin, but I also don’t rate the idea of having queer writers creating queer characters as a cool perk and not the bare minimum. If the queer writers in the Chibnall era could’ve written full Thasmin storylines as early as series 11, going past confessions and maybe showed us Thirteen and Yaz’s attempt at a relationship, maybe Thasmin could’ve gone further than it did. Just like the Fugitive Doctor, I’m looking at a bit of representation that I’m supposed to feel supported by, the very first of its kind, and going ‘I’m happy it existed but it deserved so much more’ because it only got a few episodes of screentime in a whole 5 years and now having to go Big Finish digging if I ever want to see it again. And like… that’s bad. Really bad.

Originally, I planned to leave this essay more open-ended for the main takeaway. If Thirteen having little to no sexual and romantic attraction makes her a bad queer character then what do you think about asexual people, aromantic people, aroace people, queer people with little to no sexual/romantic experience, queer people with trauma induced sex repulsion or aversion, queer people with little to no sexual activity due to sexual medical conditions and queer people that just don’t want to? If Yasmin Khan’s a bad queer character because of her past relationship with a man and having unconfirmed male love interests, what are your opinions of lesbians with comphet, ‘late bloomer’ queer people and bisexual and pansexual people with men as their past and/or current partners? If Thasmin is a bad ship specifically because of the prior reasons, then what do you honestly think of the prior people? But I already know the answer. If you’re part of any of the previous groups listed you probably already know the answer too. Calling Thasmin fake gay because of the mere potential of one of its sapphics dating a man is lesbophobic. Calling it the ship for ‘sapphics scared to do more than hold hands’ as if being a sapphic like this is something to be ashamed of, that it’s fake romance because there’s no sex or fake queer because there’s no sex is compulsory sexuality, even if the people saying it are sapphic themselves. I’m honestly disappointed at how much lesbophobia and compulsory sexuality have not only been unchecked but actively supported in the Thasmin discourse. I’m also honestly disappointed that a queer fandom could be so ignorant towards other types of queerness when the whole point of being queer is to exist in ways that are unconventional from what society wants from us, even from each other and push back on the limited views of sexuality, romance and gender society enforces. But then again, no fandom’s perfect and I literally write about the long antiblackness in this fandom so… should I really be that surprised? Nah. 

When you go beyond things like timing and characterisation and claim characters are unqueer because their understandings of romance and sex are different to yours personally, you stop critiquing how the queerness was written and start critiquing the queerness itself. Which is why I wrote this essay. Lemme just say it now: No, you’re not some evil acephobic lesbophobe or whatever for not liking Thasmin. That’s not the point of the essay. What I’m saying is, there’s no harm in evaluating how your ideas of sapphic characters are shaped by lesbophobia and how compulsory sexuality shapes your ideas of queerness (especially if you genuinely believe you’re an ally to asexual people) And if your ideas of radical queerness consistently alienate lesbians and other sapphics, asexuals and aromantics, that’s worth unpacking. I think Thasmin does need to be critiqued and it is flawed but criticisms rooted in lesbophobia and compulsory sexuality just aren’t it. Thasmin can be critiqued without throwing sapphics, especially asexual sapphics under the bus. Trust me. I wanted a Thasmin critique that was a bit deeper than ‘they didn’t kiss so they’re not gay11!’. So I made one myself. Hope you enjoyed it!

-

After Rogue came out there was the inevitable Thasmin v FifteenRogue discourse. If Rogue comes back next season, which he likely will, it’ll probably keep happening. I’m not looking forward to the Thasmin v FifteenRogue wars I can’t lie. In terms of FifteenRogue, I don’t relate to it and I don’t care about Rogue’s return because he wasn’t giving much. But that’s okay. In a previous essay I kinda predicted a ship like this to happen:

‘...we could see a canon longer term mlm pairing involving the Doctor for the first time. And not only that, but with a Black doctor for the first time. A queer Black man showing love and being loved is a reminder for queer Black people that universe-defying romance includes us too and that our DoctorRiver or TenRose moments can exist.’

Black queerness isn’t a monolith. Queerness isn’t a monolith. I’m not gonna get the same from FifteenRogue as a Black gay, bi or pan man would. My attraction doesn’t look the same as Fifteen’s attraction. My idea of a queer relationship doesn’t look like Fifteen’s queer relationship. But again, that’s okay. Just because it’s not for me, doesn’t make it less queer. And in that sense, that’s probably my main opinion on Thasmin. I like the idea of it and I’m glad other fans got something special from it, but I’m just not a shipper. To me, its unused potential is why I’m not a fan but it’s not that deep enough for me to be an anti. And from the main point of the essay, I’m not gonna start entertaining lesbophobia and compulsory sexuality just because of bad writing. Queerness is a massive umbrella of various identities so whatever type of queer representation we get next, I welcome it and I can’t wait. What comes next might look completely different to my own experiences and understandings. If Thasmin isn’t for me, something else will be. And that’s okay!

<- Chapter 2

[thatgirlwithasquid]

I love WEREWOLVES! Can't wait for you to begin posting chapters, or are you waiting for it to be complete?

Ahh! Same, I adore them. They're just so fun, and I've been having a blast with thinking about werewolf!steve and werewolf!billy for my au lol. I was actually working on my first wolfblood au fic as I received this ask haha

I'm actually gonna start posting some writing for it really soon! I'm working on it for my part of the @harringrove-relay-race that will be starting tomorrow, so keep an eye out <3

The whole story isn't complete yet cause this fic is more-or-less a mashup of the beginnings of Stranger Things season 2 and Wolfblood s1e1. The whole thing would have been wayyyy to long to get done for the relay race but I have enough passion for Harringrove and Wolfblood and werewolves in general to hopefully get it all written eventually.

(And if you're interested in werewolf stuff in the meantime, I do have a werewolf!harringrove oneshot that I wrote for the last relay race already up on tumblr and ao3)

image from the last episode of wolfblood

I really enjoyed the last season of wolfblood. I got emotional at Jana talking about Maddy and Rhydian and Tom and Shannon.

I wish it was longer or spread out over two seasons (bringing it to six seasons three in rural stoneybridge and three with the new pack in the city)

or if there was a special film (and the old guard got brought back like Maddy Rhydian Tom Shannon and even Liam) and we got not quite a send off i liked the scene with Jana teaching the girl. I just wished we got to see a short something where everything is calm after the frantic panic of season five

eta or you know it (and 4) had the full 13 episode run like the 1-3 did it wouldn't have helped much but it would have still helped

[spacerangersam]

Where did you get the inspiration for Of Fangs and Claws? And how did you choose who would be a werewolf and who’d be a vampire? Basically can you talk about the story because I love it so much <3

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying it (and I will get around to updating it, I swear). And I can absolutely talk about it, I love to ramble on about my writing.

So, it’s been a while so it’s hard to remember specific details, and I’ve not ever really engaged with vampire/werewolf media (outside of one show I watched as a teenager, and like, youtube critiques about monster shows which I’ve never seen), so I don’t really have a clear cut inspiration. This is all going to be a bit vague I’m afraid.

But the main inspiration was definitely like, Halloween, in general. I’m a big spooky season fan and really wanted to write a Halloween fic. Vampires and werewolves seemed like an obvious choice for that. They have such different vibes and all that it's fun to compare and contrast them, and the idea of splitting the ghoul group in half to do that sounded cool. I also have my own ideas about how vampires/werewolves work and all, so it was a chance to put all those thoughts I’ve had bouncing around my skull to use (namely, I just wanted to write werewolves without all of that alpha, beta bullshit, god that sucks).

This may or may not have been around the time the first Dracula read-along was going on too, and while I gave up on that early on, it probably left me with vampires on the brain. Fun fact, I haven't gotten to it yet but vampires don't turn into bats in my story but into a pile of writhing leeches because I have a memory of a friend saying that was one of bram stoker’s original ideas that he discarded. I can’t easily find proof of that though so there's a chance I'm misremembering something. Regardless, I like the idea so much that it's vampire canon to me now. It's so much weirder and grosser than bats and honestly, fits better too.

The world specifically and a few small details kinda came from an original story idea that's been bouncing around in my years for years now but never fully taken form- funnily enough, Pat and Mike's adventure group is a big part of it, actually, though it works a bit differently in my story. Anyway, this was kinda my chance to feel out some ideas for that og story. I've still not gotten far with it, but I do have the mc figured out at least, (Briallen, her design is cool if I do say so myself, I like her a lot).

As for deciding who’d be what, it basically came down to wealth. When I think of a vampire, I think of giant Gothic castles and expensive jewels and dresses and ornate goblets full of blood- excessive wealth, basically. Vampires are practically metaphors for the rich, so anyone from a wealthy family in canon was going to be a vampire, no doubt about it. Also, vampires always seem like solitary, guarded creatures to me, so that’s why the Captain became a vampire. Besides, I needed to beef up the Button gang and thought Fanny deserved to have her bff with her.

In contrast, werewolves give off the vibes of being friendly, down-to-earth folks (maybe because I watched Wolfblood as a teen where all the werewolves are just like- otherwise very normal schoolkids, or at least that's what I remember), which just suited characters like Pat and Robin and Mary way better. 

With the exception of Thomas, is was. I’m trying to remember if he was originally going to be a vampire, and I’m not sure. Out of all the characters, dramatic Regency poet Thomas seems the ripest to be a vampire, and I have a feeling I probably made him a werewolf specifically because of that. It just seemed too obvious, you know, and the obvious annoys me sometimes. It also let me make a more interesting backstory for him, so it was a win-win.

Same sorta goes with Alison, making her a werewolf with Button ties was a good idea to centre the story around. Also, I just like werewolves more, so writing about a character becoming a werewolf was more fun to me.

For the other characters, including [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], it was more a matter of what monster/creature haven’t I included yet? Jemimia became a morgen specifically because I wanted to throw in some Welsh monsters, and morgen- idk how to say this, but they’re very like, swampy in my mind. Like, with greenish skin and dark green hair, covered in seaweed or algae, and that just fits with Jemima in my mind. Margot and Rachel are water nymphs because. 

Body is there and a bat because a) thought it would be funny to make Humphrey’s body an actual character, b) I just kinda wanted a Salem-esque (a Sabrina Salem) character in here because I like Salem, I think he’s a cool cat, and bat because vampire. He also works as a sort of red herring- like he’s a bat hanging around vampires, probably makes you think that all the vampires themselves can turn into bats too but no. leeches. :)

This was probably a rambly mess and I’m sorry about that, but I hope this was somewhat interesting.

u watched Wolfblood too? i was obsessed with that show as a kid i definitely need to rewatch it at some point

tbh I never finished the series, I only have the first few seasons on dvd but yesss, I really wanna rewatch that too! I loved the series, because it also helped me to understand myself better and also helped me in general through a tough time. <3 I remember sneaking out at night and listening to the intro song, as well as to "pull of the moon" hehe

Okey. So actual pretty extra piece to the blog.

Little and only fan art I will ever do for Wolfblood for sure lol

But first of all a bit of context!

Back in my senior year i spend some time at home more than classes bc life happens but i catch up with classes from home even so. I had also time to see some stuff and between that period i discover this live acted serie called Wolfblood. Only got to see till season two wich was kind of sad bc some of the main characters have left and exchage places with new coming and so.

I never got to see any other season on those day.

But just some days ago while i was babysitting the cat and the dog before go back to my room i decided to take a look and rewatch some episode and really nostagia hit me. I knew a but at end of season 3 on of the first mains will also left but i got to know that. In fact the end was a conclusion to a reunion of the character leaving and character that left last season.

It was a train of feels thanks to nostalgia and I was really happy that i rewatch some more episodes and sketch this on said time.

I love the music this show has, the foute pieces are my favorites and really it felt nice see all this a bit again and so.

I spoil season 3 end but i just add more sentiment to it.

To be short i am in peace thanks to this tiny clip of reunion.

Sure this was kind of weird lol
