I want, do you think of Denton do think good or bad I find him very shady

I think you're talking about Deaton, but excuse me if I'm mistaken. I have complicated feelings about Deaton, but in general...I hate his guts. \o/ Like, it's unfortunate that they really really leaned into the "Mysterious Cryptic Black Mentor" stereotype for him, and he didn't get nearly as much depth as they tried to IMPLY that he had? They just kept insinuating that he had this really fascinating and complex background and then refused to actually tell anyone what it was.

Based purely on what I've seen of deaton, versus what the creators might've intended for him, Deaton's a fucking asshole.

This man was fully aware that Scott had been bitten and become a werewolf, and played stupid about it for literal months. He knew how to help literally everyone in town and refused to do so on the basis of 'maintaining the balance' and not wanting to 'get involved'.

He had a way to contain werewolves, and yet let Scott run around town with zero control for two months. Leaving Stiles no choice but to handcuff his best friend and fear for the lives of his friends and family and scott himself. Leaving SCOTT to fear for the life of his girlfriend and DEREK to fear for the safety of his entire species because Scott was constantly in danger of exposing them. Speaking of Derek, he KNEW who derek was. He knew exactly what Derek was asking him about. He swore to protect and help Derek's family and derek himself, and then when faced with a kid who just lost his big sister and was going to the only person he thought might have answers, Deaton pretended he had no idea what the fuck derek was talking about and just hung him out to dry. THEN he shamed him for not trusting people! After LYING TO HIM

They could've stopped Peter so easily. Could've given Scott peace of mind while he learned to control his abilities. Deaton could've helped them understand what was going on and filled in the gaps in Derek's information. Could've played mediator with the hunters to protect Scott and Derek. Could've done his goddamn job. According to deaton himself, he was never retired. He was just refusing to participate until Scott "inspired" him. NEvermind that he left Scott at Peter and the hunters' mercy for months before that. And don't forget that he helped Scott plot out someone's murder and poisoned someone by replacing their cancer medication. Like. o.O Are you fuckin joking? And that's just the early seasons. Deaton's just. A dick. A self-righteous asshole who holds vital information over people's heads until he gets bored enough to involve himself in the world of those SO Far BElow HiM. He's an exposition distributor that tosses information like bread crumbs to the main characters, only when the writers want people to finally find things out. But instead of even having him LEARN things and then share them, he admits to having KNOWN IT ALL ALONG and just refusing to share. He's just as bad, if not worse, than people generally consider Peter to be. His character is just a jerk, my dude. Maybe he was done dirty by the writers, or hell maybe it was intentional. Maybe they meant for him to be a dickhead.

In short; Deaton bad.

#personal #go for it #anti deaton #meta ramblings #rant #sometimes i think i've run out of things to complain about or rant about #and then someone asks me about a character and I go full t-pose dominance “DONT GET ME STARTED” mode

The fact that Scott led Aiden, Ethan, and Deaucalion live is so disgusting to me!!! They tortured derek and his pack! They killed Erica and Boyd! That tells me, honestly, that Scott is just selfish. Him disbelieving Stiles and pretending that he always trusted Derek proves that!!

What gets me the most is that in one side he's all up in his high horse getting so mad at Stiles "we can't kill people", but in the other hand he was willing to kill Peter to become human again, he had no issue using Derek's body against Gerard like that, said that Kate killing the Hales was probably deserved, had no problem blackmailing a chained up tortured Derek, demanded to know why he should help Derek when he was dying from the wolfsbane bullet etc etc,. His 'morals' apply to everyone but himself. Pretending he always trusted Derek is hilarious like "we were brothers" ?? he was so shitty towards him all s1/s2, didn't listen to anything Der tried to teach him, and let every single person that hurt his "brother" get out free with just a slap on the wrist.

#anti scott mccall #tagging that just in case #see Scott had so much potential on being a good mc only if he ever owned up to his shitty behavior but nah #'true alpha' my ass. im sure Deaton had something to do with that shit #tagged: ask the raven

Follow me down the rabbit hole of teen wolf movie trash#2

I couldn't go through the last half an hour of the movie because I knew Derek was going to die. So I put it on hold. I completed it just now and Scott doesn't deserve Eli.

Say it again with me Scott fucking doesn't deserve Eli.

Everytime since the series started, Almost every time, Derek is the one who cleans up Scott's mess and does the job and if not Derek, then Stiles, then at rare times some other person when Scott simply gets away with speech and elevation by Deaton. I feel like , as Jeff Davis couldn't be in the show, he created Deaton to prop Scott up more. Every time the 'he is the alpha' scene came up, I cringed and it's coming from the person who likes the cheesy and corny stuff.

Scott is not an alpha, he doesn't deserve it.

Reason #12345678

He let Derek die like at least didn't even try to stop him. When Scott was supposed to be dead, when he offered him as bait, poor Derek not knowing about the fox fire said, "No Scott, don't" That's exactly what an alpha would do. He even tries to release him from the binds struggling with them.

But when Derek is the one doing the sacrifice, no one said anything. Why?

Sheriff seems to be close with Derek, why didn't he say anything?

Derek is Malia's cousin, why didn't she say anything?

Why didn't Peter say anything?

Why didn't anybody say anything?

Scott and Allison after watching their friend die, celebrated and kissed very happily and you are telling me they're gonna take care about Eli?

The sheriff should be the one approaching Eli on the field because the minute he sensed something is terribly wrong, his first instinct is going to the auto shop. It shows that he knows about the emergency plan which implies how close he is actually with them unlike Scott who last saw him when he was three. It just doesn't make any sense.

Why does Jeff Davis likes the 'steal everything from Derek and give it to Scott' trope.

If Scott wants kids, he can have them with Allison.

But Eli needs to be with The Sheriff. If he feels like he's too old, then he can be with their actual aunts, Malia or Cora or even Isaac.

Actually where the fuck is Cora?

Or Stiles, actually Stiles, he is the best choice. Stiles can easily help ELI in his transformation and he can take care of him because he helped in Scott's first transformation.

Derek 'born werewolf, late 30s, a walking encyclopaedia of supernatural creatures, smart' Hale couldn't figure out how to make his kid transform but Scott can do it just because.

I hate this with a passion. Derek doesn't deserve to be taken his kid's first proper transformation away from him.

Whoever said Scott changed, he clearly didn't. Someone compared him with Captain America, please don't. It's absolutely disgusting.

Scott is a good guy. I love him but he's a pretty shitty alpha. Also Scott not wanting to tell Derek about the dangerous ritual because it's personal is a shitty move on his part. Like he seemingly abandoned Beacon Hills and settled in the city. Derek is the one taking care of the Beacon Hills. I can practically hear the argument in my head that Derek wouldn't agree if Scott told him but maybe it's a good thing.

Random thought but so much of the "Deaton is cryptic" claims is not only rooted in antiblackness/racism towards Deaton, and Marin, themselves but the whole tradition of teaching and storytelling in colonized cultures because MANY of them including African diaspora traditions won't just give the listener the information all of the time because it encourages them to think and analyze for themselves.

Peter can hoard secrets and knowledge and stans deem it a wise, clever move but Deaton or Marin give information without forcing the heroes to do anything in particular and they're seen as untrustworthy 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

I think your diagnosis is entirely correct. Even certain European cultures, from which parts of the Untied States culture are descended, embraced the concept that access to certain information had to be earned as well as kept out of the hands of those not ready to understand it or those who would abuse it, in the form of mysteries or apprenticeships or even licensing.

Yet, Teen Wolf actually spent quite a bit of time grappling with how much their characters should know, when they should know it, and what that meant for them. For example, Chris Argent proposed that "what you know makes you responsible" while the McCall pack operated under the stress of the maxim "it's always better when they know."

It might seem to someone looking to make a black man an antagonist that Deaton's reticence to share information indicates a sinister purpose. I would propose that the show itself placed Deaton's early-season reluctance to tell Scott and his pack everything he knew as coming from the same place that Chris and Victoria's decision to hide the Argent family business from Allison did: protection. Deaton comes out and says to Marin that the reason he didn't tell Scott and Stiles about the alpha pack is because "they had enough on their plate." He didn't tell them about the druidic origins of the sacrifices because the police were handling it. Deaton saw Scott and his pack as children, not soldiers, and if he told them everything, then they wouldn't be able to avoid the horrors and dangers which would come as a consequence. Given his own past watching a woman he loved destroyed in a war, that's only understandable.

The parts of the fandom that accuse him of ulterior and sinister motives beyond the ones we saw on the screen can't actually define what those motives were. Once Stiles convinced him in Unleashed (3x04) that they were going to get involved no matter what and that his desire to protect them and avoid his own past trauma was hurtful, he immediately shared what he knew. And no, saying "I'm not sure about this" is not actually withholding information.

I find that most of the racist fandom, when they charge Deaton with being 'useless' or 'cryptic' are projecting wish fulfillment into their interpretation of the narrative. They believe that Scott might have fallen in line behind the Hales if Deaton told him that it was a beta's duty to serve their alpha no matter how that alpha behaves (which is demonstrably false) or that the Hales had a right to run Beacon Hills (which isn't true at all). They believe that Stiles was denied his rightful place as lead protagonist because Deaton didn't automatically offer to make a boy who told him "could you find something for me a little less stressful" his apprentice. They twist the fact that Deaton told Scott about his potential to become a True Alpha into a scheme, ignoring the fact that Deaton didn't say a single thing about it until he literally watched Scott's eyes turn red.

But if a racist fandom is determined to hate a character because he didn't fall into the Magic Negro trope, it's enough to condemn him, even though they can't point out one single benefit he derived from these actions.

And it is racist, because there is a character who pointedly and repeatedly used what he knew to manipulate others and gain advantage for himself while posing as an erstwhile ally: Peter Hale. Whether he's using what he knows against Derek to weasel his way back into the pack in Battlefield (2x11) or convincing Derek to give up the alpha spark in Alpha Pact (3x11) to prevent him from interfering with his long term plans to kill Scott, or he's manipulating his knowledge of Lydia's powers to get the information Talia hid from him in Letharia Vulpina (3x19) or risking Stiles life by withholding knowledge on how to help him in De-Void (3x22), or concealing what he knows about the Desert Wolf to get Malia to kill Kate for him while teaching Kate how to control the shift to get her to set Scott up for a ritual murder in the entirety of Season 4, he uses what he knows as a weapon to conquer what he thinks is due him. He stands out among the characters who use sharing what they know to their advantage (Gerard, Theo, Jennifer, Valack), for his ability to make information serve his purposes, because we literally watch the entire process take place on the screen.

Yet to parts of the fandom the most sinister manipulator of lore and wisdom in Beacon Hill is, apparently and without a doubt, Alan Deaton. They're sure of it, because they have their reasons.

BUT IT'S NOT RACISM.

gifset commissions for e-sims for gaza

Hello! I am officially opening up a commission form to raise donations for Palestine. While I may change where these donations will go per round, for this first round, all proceeds will go to buying e-sims for Gaza through @/connectinghumanity_ on Instagram.

As this is an urgent situation, I will only be taking requests for gifsets from Teen Wolf (to be posted on bericas) or Yellowjackets (to be posted on yellowjackets-1996), as these are the shows I know the best and will be able to gif quickest.

How the commission process will work:

I hope to have multiple rounds; each round will only have 4 slots, with a minimum donation amount of 10 dollars per slot

As this is a fundraiser, I will not be limiting how many can be submitted a person, but each request you submit will have to be submitted separately and paid for separately

The commission form is set to automatically close after it receives 4 submissions; if this includes a submission I choose not to accept, I’ll delete it so the form reopens and I’ll post that a slot has been reopened

I ran a poll to decide how donating the money would work; the results of this poll is that I will collect the proceeds and then post proof of donation. This process will go something like this:

No money will be sent to me until you receive proof I’ve started giffing your request

This proof will be a screenshot of the first completed gif

After receiving this, you’ll donate a minimum of 10 dollars to my ko-fi

For this first round, for transparency and proof of legitimacy, I’ll be buying an e-sim for every two donations received and posting proof. This is because the app I’m familiar is with Holafly, where the cheapest option is $19. Going forward, I plan to donate it at once, after all 4 gifsets are completed.

Click anywhere in this sentence for a link to the commission form!

Please reblog this post to help spread the word!! Thank you!!

To make this post less overwhelming on the dash, rules for requests are below the cut!

Again, as this is a fundraiser, please keep requests as simple as possible, meaning only using footage from the source material

(ex–a rarepair with little/no screentime will be accepted if I can make use of the canon footage; a request for an au that can use canon footage may be accepted if I think I can get it done quickly enough; any using outside footage will not be accepted)

For Teen Wolf requests: I won't gif Kate Argent in general, I won't gif St*rek in general, and I won’t gif any “taboo” topics like age gaps or incest. I also won’t gif any anti-Scott content, any anti-Deaton content, or really generally anything I think has racist connotations, which should be obvious

For clarity: I will gif Derek and the teens (excluding just Derek and Stiles) as long as it’s clearly platonic/”familial” in nature!

For Yellowjackets request: again, I won’t gif “taboo” topics like age gaps or incest, but I will gif things that are clearly platonic or familial in nature

(ex–I won’t gif a romantic request for Ben/Travis, but I will gif one with platonic/familial/generally non-romantic themes)

#commissions for palestine #commissions for gaza #idk how to tag this. hiiii.#pls boost!#also if any other gifmakers are interested in doing this too pls let me know! we could take turns doing rounds or smth!#i can only produce so much myself so i would loooove for this to turn into smth bigger

I do not understand antis

Not in the sense that I don't know what it means or I don't understand the concept but I just don't understand deeping it that hard

"Scott McCall anti" he's fictional and 16

I can be partial to a "Scott McCall is a bad friend" fic, or a "Scott McCall is a bad Alpha"

But also I like Scott being acknowledged as the child he is and being able to apologise for his shit behaviour while it also is understood that his mistakes were honest ones

Are people really not able to have these two things coexist?

It's the same with other characters, I just used Scott as an example

Like Stiles is an asshole but he can also mean well

Derek isn't just his trauma he's also very funny

Peter is an excellent bad guy as well as family to Derek and Malia and he clearly cares about them.. he can be both

I can enjoy evil Deaton as much as Deaton who is just desperately trying to protect his peace

Talia as a bad mother and Talia as an overworked woman doing her best

Do people really get that stuck on what they like most that they won't enjoy anything else?

“yknow as a fandom I think we could do a better job of appreciating Sierra Deaton”

No just have less appreciating Sierra cause she’s been anti-black, a creep towards fans, invalidated a 5sos fan’s mental health because they’re a fan, trauma dumped on young fans and overshared, slut shamed Ashton, and so on and so forth

hey anon!! Thanks for this concise little list. But seriously, thanks for making me think and pull together a bunch of ideas in my head; I hope in this essay really you can see some of my thought process. I can’t imagine how hard it’d be to be reaching out with something really hard and expect compassion and get a negative interaction instead—if that was you or whoever it is I hope they’re doing better and finding community and people who care. And I don’t want to pretend she’s perfect or has done everything right, we know that’s not how it is, Sierra knows that, Luke knows that, so does, idk, God.

and I’ll admit I’m a bit old fashioned when it comes to cancelling people and I do like to try and see the good in people where possible—sometimes imo it’s the only way to get any positive change. to look beyond the superficial where someone might lash out—is it in malice, or fear, a momentary impulse they might regret later or maybe realise for some reason were pushed to a point where they couldn’t manage anything better. I know I’ve been to that point and I know how I spiral if I don’t know how to forgive myself. I also know this is a fandom where shit gets real and we’re young and hurting and sometimes that just makes us defenceless against our idols and those around them being human, and the shitty side of human we all have potential to become too. And we live in an era of systemic racism and lack of access to mental health services which both causes and exacerbates so many issues that, was the world not so anti-black; had every mentally ill child and youth a support network in real life (instead of the way many of us often spend years only ever feeling seen by the songs we listen to, 5sos songs easily filling in that need)—we might be a little more able to be like ‘wtf that’s not cool but that’s a her problem’ and move on. and can I say we do deserve a world that doesn’t discriminate. And in order to get what we deserve we have to make it. and in order to make it we have to learn how to do better and let people learn to do better—these people aren’t going anywhere. somehow bad people have to turn into good people and yes in order to do that they have to be made accountable. Repentance is truly a beautiful thing; it’s also something that can’t happen when we feel scared and in our survival brain. When we feel like that we tend to easily get into us vs them and dig deeper into our (often wrong) convictions and that’s actually an evolutionary response to when we have to fight against predators; we don’t have time to think ‘but what if they’re actually in the right’ when we’re fighting for our lives.

and this isn’t the place to psychoanalyse Sierra. I don’t know exactly what goes on in her head, I don’t know if she’s sorry or even remembers these things but I do know the rift between her and fans has been quite heated and even scary at some points over the years. And maybe I have the privilege of never being someone who has been hurt by her to have grace for the fact that ‘gotta be nice to this fan they’re having an experience of a lifetime to be interacting with my partner and I’m gonna give the benefit of the doubt that they’re not one of the individuals in a sea of fans who all look identical to me sending me death threats’ is a hell of a lot to put your brain through every single day. If she (and it’s not if, we know she did) make mistakes. If there was too much trauma to hold and she put it out on the internet to cope in a season of her life. If the insecurity became jealousy of one of the most important people in her s/o’s life which became insults that were thrown around back in high school before everyone realised how uncool they were and tried to stop using them but they were still burned in their brains to come out on impulse (I actually have no idea how that specific event went down, or if there were one or multiple). I hope they sorted that out internally; I don’t know what else I can do but trust that it’s something they’re capable of doing and care for each other enough as a group of friends and songwriters to do.

I wanted to save the lateral racism example for last because I feel like everything above is kind of a metaphor for it, if you follow. I’m coming from a place where I’m southeast asian and part white living in a largely western country, so is Sierra, so I’m automatically going to see her as ‘like me’ (and can I say how rarely I get this kind of representation?) whereas if you’re black, or if you find your experience more relatable to blackness, then you’re going to experience this very differently. I can’t know your experience. I also know that asians can be brutal in this area: it’s the reason my childhood best friend hasn’t told her dad she got engaged to her partner nearly a year ago. Lateral racism isn’t okay. But unfortunately what happens is often when you’re discriminated against in some ways we’re conditioned to take the side of the oppressor against someone who’s discriminated against in other ways. It’s all ‘okay maybe I’m x and I should be y but at least I’m not z’ and again it’s that evolutionary survival instinct to not be at the bottom of the pile; channeled in horrible ways into today’s society. It takes a lot of effort and self awareness to be like ‘we’re united in this experience of being oppressed, together we have the power to make a stand that this is Not Cool’ and most of us fail the first few times. but what’s important is we keep trying. we can all heal together when we do.

so anon I have no idea who you are or your background or how much you’ve had to wrestle with this yourself, if you’ve had to stand up against communities who were hostile, if you’ve had to do this while being discriminated against from outside as well, if you know the experience of not fully being one race but not fully being another etc. and also you’ve got no obligation to like Sierra, this is such unsolicited advice but this whole release period for boy ep I’ve really just been thinking ‘it’s healthy to feel our feelings even when it’s not always pleasant isn’t it’ and wherever that hurt is please love it embrace it bring it into the light whatever you do to realise you’re valuable and you don’t have anything to be ashamed of. even your mistakes and where you’ve hurt people and regret that, you’re gonna grow so much from that and have so many chances to do better. maybe you’re young and you haven’t had the chance to hurt anyone yet. I hope you manage to stay that way but if you do, I hope you can forgive yourself too. I hope you dip your toes in activism for Black Lives Matter, for mental health, for sex positivity, I can see you really value these things and that’s really encouraging to see.

and in the end: sometimes I have to be annoyingly human and come down to the fact that I really enjoy the songs that Sierra writes. I’ve fanned enough about gothic summer on this blog already. I enjoy the things she writes and so I listen to them, and I’m not actively boycotting Sierra specifically, I love the creative outcomes when she works with 5sos as a whole, with Luke, with other artists I love as well. As a result I do care about her as a person, I always do, and hey, I respect her funny little routine donations and the undertones of her UNICEF donation back in October and the random animal sanctuary and the occasional nod to some Australian mental health charity.

I’ve inferred a lot about how much more relaxed and at ease and free to feel things and process life at his own pace Luke seems to be with her than beforehand—and the fan in me who’s so protective of these guys just desperately wants someone to be there for them in ways that really matter and I feel like we have seen that, even despite the often rocky nature of the relationship between Sierra and Luke’s fans. Luke is someone I relate to a lot, and there are some experiences that are really hard to come back from, and I’m really proud of him right now and I do get the impression being with Sierra has really helped him get there. I don’t know for sure, I could be wrong, but I’m always going to be grateful when celebrities get to be human and not have their lives and choices dictated by fans either directly or indirectly. I’ll take the allies I can in my activism and even if there are criticisms around sincerity I do generally see Sierra trying and I want to appreciate that. I don’t want to say she hasn’t hurt anyone ever and I pray for resolution and peace for the fans, for Ashton, for her, for the Black community in general, for everyone who’s been hurt in the wake of colonialism and the generational trauma it breeds. And then I’ll go listen to bloodline and think, maybe in some ways we were born inheriting the sins of our parents before we knew better. But every day I discover ways of choosing better and compassion takes us so far and I hope every day I learn a bit more about how to channel that.

thank you for the ask, it really got me thinking and the opportunity to compile some thoughts I’d had that I didn’t realise formed a neat little mindmap around Sierra as a case study!! Much more fun than regular sociology. And I didn’t even get to delve into the political history of Saigon that I’ve been trying to understand more about!!

#decolonisation ariel strikes again #doesn’t capture global racism and the impacts of power structures perfectly I know but it’s my best #and I feel like it needed to be said so. there’s so much art to creating a better world honestly #I hope the activist in you finds this essay satisfying #sierra deaton #luke hemmings #5sos #5 seconds of summer #ashton irwin #calum hood #michael clifford #sorry if the first paragraph comes across a bit bitchy I genuinely had no idea where to start #I think I get nicer as it goes on but hopefully it wasn’t bitchy to begin with but like. if it was that’s on me #should I have an asks tag?? I don’t think I get many on this blog #anyway don’t mind my sorting tags I use for my main idk if it even works to bring them here #silver bridges #decolonise #decolonisation #<-should check which one it is lol; if you saw this from the tag expecting a decolonisation post I hope this wasn’t too weird

With the Teen Wolf movie coming out in two weeks, I decided to make a tier list of the characters from the show using this list here. Below the jump, I have added my rationale for all 65 characters I ranked. Feel free to reblog with your own tier list; I would love to see them.

Season 1 Main Cast

Scott McCall – B – This was the ranking that took me the longest to decide on. Scott carries a lot of baggage in fandom. And some Scott stans are rabidly anti-Sterek and anti-Stiles, which in response makes you remember all of Scott’s negative actions and attributes. But, for purposes to this list, I tried my best to not let the fandom baggage influence my ranking.

If I were going by what Teen Wolf tries to tell us Scott is, I would’ve given him an A. He’s optimistic, idealistic, caring, and attempts to protect his friends and family. There are a great many fics that highlight Scott’s best qualities. And some of Scott’s less than stellar moments are understandable given that he is a teenager after all.

But, when it comes to Scott, Teen Wolf does a lot of telling and not enough showing. Scott was only a werewolf for nine months when he became a true alpha, and even fewer months when alpha pack came to Beacon Hills in part because Scott had the “potential” to become a true alpha. Deaton even said that he thought Scott could become a true alpha when he learned that Scott had been bit. All the while, even though he enjoys the perks of being a werewolf, he hates it so much that he can’t fathom why others would chose to get the bite. So, Scott’s true alpha status doesn’t feel earned. Plus, Scott’s morality is a bit black and white, which gets boring pretty quickly.

Ultimately though, and this may in part be due to Posey’s mediocre acting, while I don’t dislike Scott per se, I don’t have a particular desire to see more of him on screen, which earns Scott a B.

Stiles Stilinski – GOAT – Is there any question that Stiles if the GOAT of Teen Wolf? From his first scene, you can’t help but like this precious little bean, this little ball of sarcasm and enthusiasm. Stiles is not only part of many of the funniest moments in the show, but also many of the most heartfelt moments. He would do anything for you if he considers you his. Stiles being the emotional heart of the show is an entire plot point of season 6A, and the show suffered when he wasn’t there.

Allison Argent – B – Allison is super sweet, and I want to like her more. But I can’t look past the way she sadistically shot Boyd and Erica with arrows for no reason.

Derek Hale – S – This man can communicate more with his facial expression than many people can with words. He speaks multiple languages, and is smart. Derek has the most tragic backstory. As a teen, he had to kill his girlfriend out of mercy, and then had nearly his entire family slaughtered by the older woman that seduced him. When he returns to Beacon Hills, it’s because his sister was killed. And yet, he tries to help newly-bitten Scott gain control over his wolf. Derek could have been a villain, but he chose not to be.

Derek wasn’t a good alpha in season 2, but you see in season 3 that under different circumstances he could have been. He teaches Isaac control on his second full moon. He’s willing to risk his life for Boyd and Erica, and although he doesn’t go about it the best way, he pushes Isaac away in an attempt to protect him. He cares about his betas. He gives up his alpha power to save Cora’s life. And he eventually gains the full shift. You want to root for Derek Hale.

Lydia Martin – S – Lydia Martin is Queen. She is brilliant, beautiful, and demonstrates some of the best character growth on the show.

Jackson Whittemore – A – Jackson is an asshole, but he’s a lovable asshole.

Teens

Danny Mahealani – A – Everyone likes Danny. QED.

Isaac Lahey – A – Isaac is just a precious baby. His face when he takes the pain from the dog. The scene when he tries to stay up to protect Melissa with Scott. I can’t help but like him.

Erica Reyes – A – Erica is fierce. The bite gives her a chance to shine after having to deal with her epilepsy. She might have overdone it a bit when she was first bitten, but you see her become more grounded at the end of season 2. She had a lot of potential and I wanted to see more of her.

Vernon Boyd – A – Boyd is the epitome of the strong silent type. I still can’t believe that they killed him right after they started to give him a backstory.

Matt Daehler – TRASH – Murderous stalker.

Cora Hale – C – Cora was there for a bit, I guess.

Aiden Steiner – C – Did he have any good qualities? He sort of had a redeeming death, I guess, which is why he isn’t rated lower.

Ethan Steiner – B – Ethan had more compassion than his brother, so I gave him a bump up.

Kira Yukimura – S – Cute, awkward, and badass.

Malia Tate – C – Was there a point to her character?

Meredith Walker – B – She’s a little confused, but she got the spirit.

Liam Dunbar – S – Liam is a little, angry puppy. Gotta love him.

Mason Hewitt – B – I want to like Mason more, but he always felt like he was supposed to be Stiles 2.0.

Sydney – C – Not very memorable.

Garrett – C – Gets a bump up for being smarter than his girlfriend.

Violet – TRASH – A murderer whose money-hunger made her stupid.

Brett Talbott – C – Another werewolf whose family died in a fire? I’m sorry, but I just couldn’t bring myself to care.

Lori Talbott – C – Cared less about her than I did for her brother.

Theo Raeken – S – Theo was an excellent villain. And a villain the same age as the pack too. He singlehandedly manufactured the breakdown of the pack.

Tracy Stewart – B – She gained a lot of confidence over the course of season 5. She grew on me

Hayden Romero – C – She’s 15 but works as a shot girl in a club? Make it make sense.

Corey Bryant – C – Even though I think Corey and Mason are really cute together, I just don’t care about Corey as an individual character.

Donovan Donati – TRASH – Nothing but a psychotic rage machine.

Josh Diaz – C – Just not memorable. Apparently, he was in nine episodes. I remember maybe two of them.

Gabe – TRASH – I was glad when he died.

Nolan – C – Nolan was pretty pathetic the entire time he was on screen.

Parents

Sheriff Stilinski – S – Papa Stilinski is top tier. There are a few questionable moments said in jest, but when it matters, when it counts, you see that he loves his son more than anything else in the world.

Melissa McCall – S – This woman singlehandedly runs that hospital. Loved her relationship with Scott, Stiles, and Isaac.

Peter Hale – S – This beautiful bastard brought himself back from the dead. Yes, he’s manipulative and power hungry. But he’s clever, cunning, and charming. Loved every second he was on screen (younger and older).

Chris Argent – S – You wouldn’t think you’d grow to like Chris Argent when you start watching the show, but you do. Despite losing his family, Chris comes back to protect Beacon Hills. Although he cares about the code, in season 1 its not because he thinks werewolves are worthy of the same dignity as people. It’s there as a check against hunters falling to their worst impulses and start killing simply for the sake of killing. But he grows and learns that the supernatural are just people, not inherently bad, but capable of doing/being good. Plus, he’s a total DILF.

Victoria Argent – A – She is badass. She was able to threaten Scott effectively just by sharpening a pencil. Died too soon.

Natalie Martin – B – Lots of ups and downs. She locked her daughter in an insane asylum, the same one in which her mother-in-law committed suicide (at least that’s what she believed at the time). But in season six she helps the pack actually graduate.

Mr. Lahey – TRASH – He locked Isaac in a freezer. Multiple times.

Talia Hale – C – We are told that Talia was a wise and respected alpha. But we know that she (1) convinced Corrine to give birth, (2) gave Malia to a human family, (3) took Peter’s memory of Malia, (4) apparently failed to keep tabs on her because she we know she did not find Malia after her adoptive mom and sister were killed and Malia turned into a coyote even though that happened before the Hale fire. Not sure what her redeeming qualities were other than her ability to fully shift, but what we know about Talia does not live up to what we are told about her.

Rafael McCall – B – Before he shows up, what’s said about him gives the impression that he’s a horrible person. But we never really see that. His antagonism against the Stilinskis doesn’t seem merited, and he’s not the best father, but we he’s not shown to be a bad guy.

Noshiko Yukimura – C – She is a 900 year old kitsune, but she can’t help her daughter gain control over her fox spirit? She calls on a nogitsune even though she should know better.

Ken Yukimura – A – He is adorable. Love the dad jokes.

Mr. Tate – B – Don’t really like or dislike him. But I enjoyed when he threatened the boys when they picked up Malia. Protective dad.

Corinne – TRASH – Why does she want to kill Malia again? Because she lost some of her power and it transferred over to her? But then why didn’t she do it right after she was born? And is she’s appears incompetent given that she didn’t accomplish the job the first time.

Other Adults

Alan Deaton – B – Deaton had a few badass moments, but he was decidedly unhelpful a lot of the time. Stiles calls him out for withholding information. He says that helping Derek was a promise he made to his mother, and yet he never really helps Derek.

Bobby Finstock – S – The bigger they are, the Bigger. They. Are.

Adrian Harris – TRASH – He has the most punchable face.

Kate Argent – TRASH – She’s a mass-murdering psychopath with a creepy attraction to teen boys.

Gerard Argent – TRASH – He considers werewolves to be no more than animals. He espouses that it is better to kill oneself rather than live as a werewolf. Yet when faced with dying from cancer, he plots to become a werewolf rather than die.

Marin Morrell – A – Marin intrigues me. She was the emissary to the alpha pack when all the other alphas had to kill their emissaries. But she still acted independently, sometimes at odds with her pack. Needed more of her.

Jennifer Blake – A – I obviously don’t condone her magically seducing Derek and attempting to sacrifice the parents. But she gets a lot of points for being a strong magic user. She used magic to change her visage, to hide her scars from the world, so that Kali didn’t recognize her at first. She used magic to physically push Kali away, and to telekinetically throw glass at her. I was rooting for her in her fight against the alphas.

Braeden – A – She was badass. She survived Deucalion slashing her throat.

Deucalion – A – He is the Demon Wolf. He is the alpha of alphas. Jennifer had to sacrifice numerous people to challenge him, and she came up short. Her magic was unable to harm him. Easily the strongest alpha on the show.

Kali – TRASH – Two words: feet claws.

Ennis – TRASH – He was so angry that one of his pack was killed he decided to kill the remainder of his pack?

Jordan Parrish – A – Creepy visions aside, Parrish is really sweet. He deserved a raise.

Araya Calavera – A – What can I say? She reminds me of my grandmother.

Severo Calavera – C – Never got a strong opinion about him, but demerits for threatening to take a chainsaw to Derek.

Satomi Ito – B – She is a long-lived wolf, so props for that. She seemed to have skills in fighting. But she was utterly incapable of protecting her pack.

Brunski – TRASH – Not only was he a serial killer, he was annoying.

Dr. Gabriel Valack – B – Props for going from a prisoner in Eichen House to basically running the place.

Mrs. Finch – TRASH – She was an alpha, but had no idea what was going on with her own pack. Plus, she let Liam get beaten up in her own class.

Garrett Douglass – TRASH – He is a literal Nazi.

Tamora Monroe – TRASH – Did she have any redeeming qualities?

Ok doing my season 2 rewatch and just laughing harder at hardcore stans dying on the nonexistent hill of "Left Hand" because no, Peter is *not* heroic or misunderstood. Not only did he disguise himself as his younger self to kiss her in her mind but he was also being extremely creepy towards her in his burned form as he touched her, it was so obvious like if Kate did that with Derek they'd understand it as predatory. Also him praising her intelligence while exploiting her and isolating her by making her a pariah.

Also, her storyline mirroring Jackson's as both are controlled by someone else for their own ends and these little moments where you get the feeling it's not *them* in that moment but the puppeteer.

The whole pathetic defense of Peter Hale can give actual fans of the show a sort of thrill, like watching those videos where bad drivers get wrecked due to their own actions. It's so transparently obvious that this apologia is not motivated by any appreciation for the production's writing, for it's themes, for it's lore, or even for Ian Bohen's acting. It's totally serves as a focal point for lust, classism, and racism.

You can see it in the way they completely skip over the overt sexual nature of Peter's assault and degradation of Lydia, inherent in Bohen's acting choices in Formality (1x10), in the way Young Phantom Peter literally woos Lydia, in the way that Burned Phantom Peter touches her and how he mimics pillow talk until he screams at her. Yet, there's no outcry, no revulsion, because after all, Peter was doing it to save his life. Compare that to the way even today they react to Scott's infamous neck grab of Derek and their howling about the corruption of the Bite, as if Derek didn't corrupt it by biting Jackson or Victoria. There has to be a reason they can't stand Scott for what he did to Derek, which is filmed with no sexual connotations whatsoever but instead clearly indicating that Scott did it to save lives, and yet don't think twice about celebrating Peter's ravishment of Lydia (or Derek's abuse of Erica).

What's the difference? Two of those people are rich white adult men and one isn't.

You can see it in the way these they react to Deaton's speech in Raving (2x08): "A puppet ... and a puppeteer." Do they focus on the irony of the statement, that the four people in the room, and specifically the show's protagonist Scott, may be aware that someone (Matt) is controlling Jackson, but they are completely unaware that Peter is controlling Lydia nor are they are aware that the actions taken in that very episode will lead to Gerard manipulating Allison? Of course not, these post-modern racist meta-specialists come to the conclusion that Deaton -- who has done nothing by this point but provide scientific and occult insight and good advice while not having Derek arrested for assault and kidnapping -- must be manipulating Scott for nefarious purposes so deep and so dark that we still don't know what they are five years after the show's ending.

What's the difference? The three actual puppeteers are white men, and two of them are rich adults. Their prime suspect, however, is not white.

Season 2 is all about people using others for their own selfish gain, whether it be Derek, Matt, Gerard, or Peter. And -- I'll say this again -- they all get their comeuppance in instances of poetic justice. And, of course they'll scream that Scott used Derek, but the very important difference is that Scott did it to save people -- he figured out what Gerard was after and used it against him. Scott could have just blown the whole thing off back in Ice Pick (2x03) when Allison asked him to, and he and Stiles would be sitting at home, smokin' a joint.

So where does the Left Hand concept come from?

There is a certain romantic nostalgia for a fantasy version of feudal Europe focused exclusively on the intrigues of the aristocracy. Where power was meant to be exercised by forceful men for the good of the throne, and the needs of peasants were barely mentioned let alone considered in the grand scheme of things. Where a person with the right name could get away with virtually anything, from genocidal colonialism to incest to sexual assault if it was for the preservation of the social order and the upper class. In this case, the House of Hale -- or the Hale House.

But here's the problem. Teen Wolf wasn't set in 14th-century Burgundy or even freaking Westeros. It was set in 21st-century California and the heritage (read race), wealth, and power of the Hales and the Argents do not in any way establish their point of view as being supereminent. Their victory was not pre-ordained by God and Peter Hale is not, as a consequence, given leeway to do anything to secure it. Not that his actions weren't obviously and completely selfish, anyway.
