“I love you.” Annabeth wasn't sure he could hear her, but if they died, she wanted those to be her last words.

“Remember I love you.” all he’s ever wanted, was for Lydia to know, and to never forget, that he loved her.

i know we’re still a ways away from getting an i love you or any other variation of a love confession from chenford but i would kill myself for a parallel of tim being as open and vulnerable as lydia was in “radio silence” when her and scott were communicating with stiles over the radio in his jeep. like... he’s dangling off of that parking garage with aaron thinking he’s going to die... again!! but of course that doesn’t matter to him as much as lucy does. so if he’s going to get flattened like a pancake he’s at least going to tell her how he feels first and grabs his radio knowing full well!!! that everybody on the scene can hear him!!!! and confesses that he fell in love with the best rookie he ever trained.

On Banshees, Death, Love, & Foreshadowing

A few Thinky Thoughts about 3x23 (Insatiable) and 3x24 (The Divine Move)... but surprisingly not Dergent-related this time (Stydia- and Scallison-related instead). =)

I foster a deep, abiding love for narrative parallels, and that's probably one of the many reasons Teen Wolf continues to appeal to me, despite its many flaws: this show has narrative parallels in abundance, and the more you watch, the more connections you make. If you're me, every single re-watch looks like you shouting "Oooh! OOOHHHH!" at the TV screen while gesticulating wildly, sending your startled cat flying off your lap for the fifth time just this episode.

(I mean... I do that with lots of shows, actually, but y'know... hyperfixation and all that. Ahem. Anyway.)

There's something really painfully beautiful about the way Allison tells Scott it's perfect that she's dying "in the arms of [her] first love" in 3x23 - that he is "the first person [she] ever loved... the person [she] will always love" - and then dies in his arms while he cries over her body... followed by the camera changing to show us Lydia screaming Allison's name and then crying, slumped over the fading, unconscious body of Stiles... Stiles, who, for all they - and we - know at this point, is going to die, too. Lydia - Stiles' first love, the person he will always love - is shown weeping over Stiles' body in a way that parallels Scott weeping over Allison's body.

Damn.

(One could also argue that, in the same way Allison was Scott’s first true love, Stiles eventually becomes Lydia's first true love. Did Lydia love Jackson? Absolutely... but, as she tells Allison, not "like that". What she eventually comes to feel for Stiles by S6 is the first romantic love she experiences that is like the love Allison describes feeling for Scott in 2x06: "Remember what it feels like? All of those times in school when you see him standing down the hall, and you cannot breathe until you're with him? Or those times in class when you... you can't stop looking at the clock because you know that he's standing right out there waiting for you? Don't you remember what that's like?")

And then there's the parallel of the way Lydia and Stiles spend much of the next episode clinging to each other, and the way Scott’s last scene in 3x24 shows him bringing Malia into his pack and teaching her how to control her shift. Lydia and Stiles, who end up together by the end of the series, bonding... and Scott and Malia, who end up together by the end of the series, bonding.

There's also the parallel of Lydia's previous love interest (Aiden) dying in 3x24, with her reacting by flinging herself into the arms of her future love interest (Stiles)... while Scott’s previous love interest (Allison) dies in 3x23, and we then see him connecting with his future love interest (Malia) in 3x24.

Allison being Lydia's best friend, and Stiles being Scott’s, just makes the Scott/Allison + Lydia/Stiles parallel that much more powerful. The rescue mission to save Lydia and Stiles from the Nogitsune results in Lydia losing her best friend and Scott very nearly losing his; while Lydia wasn't able to save Allison - although she certainly tried (she even left a hidden message on the inside of her car window, knowing that was how Scott and Allison used to communicate, clearly hoping Allison would think to check for it... maybe Lydia even taught her that technique?) - Scott is able to save Stiles (with the help of his pack, plus some... including some who eventually become part of his pack, like Derek and Chris). Plus we get the further parallel of Lydia, who tried so hard to save her best friend in 3b, but ultimately couldn't... and Scott, who tried so hard to save his best friend in S6, but ultimately couldn't.

Could any - or all - of this have been intentional foreshadowing? Foreshadowing of the events of S6? Of Stiles being taken and erased by the Ghostriders? Of Lydia's love - and banshee powers - ultimately being what brings him back? Of Stydia ending up together and Scalia ending up together? Could it even have been intentional foreshadowing of Allison's highly hypothetical - but potential - future return? (J*ff Davis has said that he has always wanted to bring Allison back. In the teaser trailer for Teen Wolf: The Movie, we see Lydia, all bansheed out, screaming Allison's name... and then we see that Allison has indeed returned (in some form/capacity); does Lydia maybe have a hand in bringing her back as well? Does Scott maybe get his first love back? I guess we'll see.)

Anyway. It's unclear how much - if any - of these narrative parallels were intentional (foreshadowing doesn't have to be intentional on the writer's part in order to qualify as foreshadowing), but, intentional or not, these connections certainly are interesting to think about... especially when your brain thinks like Stiles' and a) delights in picking apart all the little threads that weave a narrative together, and b) likes solving cases problems and eventually arriving at some sort of closure/conclusion.

What’s the dynamic between scydia? I never watched Teen Wolf but from what I’ve seen it was always stydia that was popular which I never understood because it didn’t look like much to me from the gifs and stuff I’ve seen 😂

stydia was popular bc it had everything going for it. no other relationship in the show was as extensively developed as theirs save the one between scott and stiles (and you could argue that stydia got even better development than sciles did at some point bc the former didn't require throwing either party under the bus the way sciles did in later seasons). and they were a recreation of a trope that first blossomed into the modern consciousness with dwayne and whitley on a different world, and that was then subsequently revived with seth and summer on the oc (which people very often joke teen wolf ripped off bc the parallels are.. uncanny): the relationship between the uptight rich girl secretly holding back reams of vulnerability and the loser nerd who didn't remotely fit the definition of your classic macho hero but nonetheless recognized uptight rich girl was special the whole time. i haven't watched a different world myself (i want to though!) but i do happen to be the oc obsessed and i honestly believe the appeal is in the self-insert nature of it all. i am a semmer shipper til i die, they are one of my favorite relationships on tv ever, but when you think about it a little more it's no wonder people were drawn to a relationship where the girl was externally blunt and rude to shield her own vulnerability, until that shield was allowed to come down bc she found a boy who worshipped the ground she walked on. summer got to be bitchy and smart and anxious about how people perceived her bc seth took it all in stride and adored her to no end. add on to this the fact that he had had a crush on her since he was ten years old despite the fact that she had never acknowledged him until it was necessitated by chance bc they ran in completely different social circles otherwise. he was the nice guy (with caveats, as there always are), and he got the girl in the end bc he loved her more than anyone

the same logic more or less applies to stydia. in fact, as i aforementioned, the parallels between the oc and teen wolf go down to the core four ship dynamics. stiles had also always loved lydia since he was a kid. he also had always known how smart she was. he was also a nerdy, psychobabbling loser who third wheeled his bestie's relationship with lydia's best friend, which necessitated her acknowledgment of him by chance. and so on and so forth. but what stydia got even more than semmer was the agonizing slow burn. they were literally not canon until the last season of the show meanwhile semmer were together from season one. so you got to see stydia go from being strangers, to acquaintances, to friends, to best friends, and finally to lovers. in addition to all of the self-insert stuff i really think that is what did it for people who watched the show in a stydia bubble. it didn't matter how many extraneous relationships either character was put through (stiles dated two people before he dated lydia, she also dated two people and had a weirdly bordering on sexual but never consummated dynamic with a cop at one point. jeff davis is going to hell), people knew they were meant to be, and that was what made the journey worth it. for me, it had the opposite effect in that i think the slow burn went too far and they dated too many other people for the ending they got to feel completely enjoyable. bc you could tell they genuinely loved and cared for some of the other people they were in relationships with, so the fact that those relationships were more or less only used as props to stall time until stydia actually got together was a bit distasteful and annoying. teen wolf shipping was essentially like musical chairs where everyone dated everyone so a lot of ships easily lost meaning and appeal. they literally had scott date every main girl except lydia, ironically enough

speaking of. sorry for the brief history lesson, but to go back to your original question. scydia basically developed into the show's underrated besties dynamic over time. they started off with a bang bc on scott's first ever full moon he was hormonally wild and made out with lydia even though he had no actual feelings for her, but their one-on-one interactions pretty much tapered off after that bc allison was the conduit through which they co-existed. scott loved allison. lydia loved allison. it was a fact on its face more than anything to really contend with so early on in the show. but throughout the first three seasons, you had scott slowly develop into a leader for the pack, so once lydia started actually becoming cognizant of the development of her powers in season three, that's when things started to shift. they leaned on each other. scott was a good friend and he was there for lydia. lydia trusted scott bc she knew he led with courage and compassion. you finally got: lydia would never run and hide. because of stiles? because of scott. and then, allison died. this is really the big climactic moment for scydia bc yeah they would always be very supportive of each other regardless of whether or not allison was there, but it was the fact that allison died that really made their relationship with each other.. affectionate. tender. forged in steel. they were both irrevocably connected to this one person whom they loved so, so deeply, and she had suddenly been torn from their arms forever. no one, not even stiles, understood that grief the way they did each other's. and from that point on, since allison was gone (and i hate to frame it this way bc then i sound like those heteronormative found family people) lydia slipped into this sort of matriarchal role for the pack alongside scott's pre-existing patriarchal one. she was the head, he was the heart, and they functioned like well-oiled cogs in a machine. stiles was also there but he was sort of the erratic factor in that he went on all of the wild goose chases that contributed to the plot (and to be fair lydia was also critical here as well. they were their own little scooby doo duo)

but anyway, that's the set-up that basically paved the way for their relationship development in the latter half of the show. esp once the writers started to develop this rift between sciles i feel like the appeal of their relationship with each other kind of died and all that was left in its place in terms of a close friendship (bc scott was dating kira at this time. at least before she got written out of the show) was scydia. this was emphasized on even more via the following: not all monsters do monstrous things. like who? like scott. there was basically this unspoken, unbreakable trust between scydia where they were literally each other's ride-or-dies. like i think in the same season that lydia said this scott also let himself be electrocuted (bc werewolves can absorb pain better than humans) so that she wouldn't be. and there were so many little moments where they were each other's rocks, so many little hand holds and meaningful stares between them. and then season five and six are kind of big blobs to me at this point bc the show was so bad by now (like allison dying truly killed the show in terms of plot), but season five for some reason decided to acknowledge that these characters were in school and were about to graduate so they needed to take classes relevant to their career interests. scydia enrolled in ap bio together. lydia bc why wouldn't she, she was the smartest person in the school, and scott bc he wanted to be a veterinarian. except that scott's ability to do well in school had always formed the butt of a joke among his classmates and friends, with the exception of—you guessed it—lydia. she believed in his ability to do well the whole time, which sounds very trivial bc this certainly was not the most important aspect of the plot at all, but it was soooo huge for people who were sick of scott being repeatedly trampled on by the writing of the show bc the writers had recognizes stiles was more popular. for scott to have one friend who truly believed in him and his compassion and his capabilities without conditions felt like dreamland at that point. and that's the last really notable thing i remember about their dynamic before teen wolf decided its final season would be the stiles show (which did provide its fair share of scydia moments to be fair. even if it was all about how much they were trying to remember stiles). but they were really great co-leaders and arguably each other's best friends by the end and i loved it so, so much, regardless of the fact that it was never going to be what i wanted it to be. also the movie that came out this year had some really great scydia content if the gifs are anything to go by. and ironically stiles wasn't in it so like yeah i didn't win but in a way i kinda did. the end

#i'm ngl i didn't know i had it in me to wax poetic about teen wolf this much like um. maybe the brain worms never left #maybe they were hibernating. they're always hibernating #but yeah. tldr head and the heart dynamic plus they loved the same person who died so it adds jazz hands nuance #but like there's sooo many moments of tenderness between them like little gestures and such #granted that's very common among teen wolf characters in general #but i really loved it with them bc you could tell a lot of it was them comforting each other about allison specifically #outbox

Are you ever just taking a walk and you think about how—even though Stydia only locked lips twice in six seasons of TW—those two kisses are the most passionate and meaningful of the series? How their first kiss helps Stiles catch his breath and the second leaves Lydia breathless... I mean, it's just so beautiful. A full circle moment. iltsm

TEEN WOLF: THE MOVIE THOUGHTS

LIKES

I could see!!! (*Chef Ramsay voice* Finally, some good effing lighting.)

Scott running an animal shelter

Cute opening credits

Boss!Lydia (c’mon white power suit!)

Jackson being Jackson (he ain’t do much, but I appreciated his presence)

Derek giving Clark Kent dad vibes lol

Malia being Malia (her dialogue never disappoints 😂)

Coach being Coach (we stan Bobby Finstock in this house)

Nogitsune is still effectively creepy

Fights look less like breakdancing

Ridiculous Peter entrance (I chuckled)

Lydia/Jackson duo is fun

Scallison 3x05 parallel

Actually liked Eli’s character and storyline

Greenberg mention! (But still no appearance!)

So many callbacks, my heart!

They didn’t go overboard with the profanity and nudity, thank goodness (I hate when shows move on to a platform that condones it and they go buck wild—it’s so cringey, like, calm down)

Scallison endgame was endearing (though I still stand on Scira being better)

DISLIKES

Plot really should’ve pertained to where the show left off (hunters v supernaturals)

Malia/Parrish (who is this for? what was the reason?)

Liam feels like such a background character

Adrian Harris? Really? REALLY? 🙄

Nogitsune being a werewolf (they literally defeated it in 3B because it can’t be a fox and a wolf, right?)

Derek dying was unnecessary. (Especially via fire, c’mon now)

They really should’ve paid Arden Cho what she was worth instead of playing in her face

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS

Allison’s nails are the same as when she died (nice attention to detail there)

Allison’s mom—Jump Scare, ngl

No, but seriously, who is Eli’s mom?

Hikari’s an obvious Kira replacement, and yet I want to know more about her

The cgi cliff 😂

Peter’s scent tracking—sir, get up!

Playing lacrosse like they lives aren’t in danger (typical teen wolf, lol)

I was hoping they weren’t gonna break up Stydia, but I can accept Lydia’s reasoning (it could’ve been worse)

Derek’s memorial flashbacks are more emotional than his actual death

Eichen House still running, oof

Didn’t mind Stiles’ absence, but I’m sure y’all knew that

All in all, I had fun watching the movie. Yeah, I think they should’ve gone a different direction in terms of plot (though, I am glad to have Allison back). Yes, it was a mess (laughably so), but no messier than Teen Wolf has always been. Lots of unanswered questions, lots of plot holes and contradictions, and some open endings for characters, but again, what did I expect?

Definitely some touching moments and quite a few laughs. Far from the best, but I’ve seen worse (haven’t seen anything that’s pissed me off half as bad as season 7 of The 100, lol).

I think I’m in the mood for a series rewatch.
