Like I know everybody always goofs on ‘how dumb Scott is’ in that iconic TW gifset from two reblogs ago, but its literally why I’m always like intelligence is subjective and that had nothing to do with intellect anyway but was entirely about perspective and world view. It wasn’t that Scott was incapable of grasping what Jackson was asking there, it was that the idea that he might take steroids was so out of left field for Scott it literally didn’t even cross his mind as an option for what Jackson actually meant there. Whereas Jackson’s confusion was entirely rooted in how it was so NATURAL for him to conclude that Scott’s athletic prowess was the result of steroids, he couldn’t even fathom that Scott didn’t actually get what he meant by ‘juice’ and was just playing dumb.
If you look at that gifset and Scott’s expression at the end, like….he very clearly thinks Jackson is every bit as obtuse as Jackson thinks he’s being. Like the hilarious part to me is that both of them are literally thinking ‘how is this a real conversation I’m having right now, this guy must be the stupidest person alive’ because based on where each of them is coming from…..Jackson’s question seems every bit as dumb to Scott as Scott’s answer sounds to Jackson. They’re just coming from entirely different places because they are extremely different people.

the scene of liam collapsed onto the forest floor in front of scott sobbing about how he’s scared of what’s happening to him not because of the fangs or the claws but because he thinks his parents already view him as a monster breaks me a little inside every time.

people reducing liam to the fanon archetypes of either Sunshine Puppy or Aggressive Dickhead is crazy because i rlly do think he’s one of the most complex members of the main cast when you actually LOOK at him outside of a shipping lens.

I love all TW characters but one of the things I hate about (all seasons but specifically) season 5 is Stiles getting pissed for Scott trusting Theo when Theo was manipulating him. Ever since Scott got bitten everyone around him (Derek, Argent, etc) have been manipulating him while forming trust between them. Nearly every single character has taught Scott that being manipulated is how he’s supposed to be treated, they’ve normalised it completely that of course he wouldn’t notice it.
I mean Derek (werewolf since birth) and Argent (who’s literal job is to deal with this stuff) keep weighing down Scott with all these issues and expecting him to constantly make the right decision despite the fact that he knows nothing about anything (because no one’s telling him) and he’s only a teenager! (And they’re grown adults)
And then people have the audacity to act like he’s stupid (Lydia and Kira when he’s in their AP biology class (I mean Lydia has the nerve to ask him if he knows what AP means)). They act like he’s an idiot but the second there’s a problem they expect him to immediately have the answer and solve it. They keep making him shoulder everything and then are shocked when he fails a class.
Moral of the story, no hate to the characters, they’re all trying, but Scott deserves better.

scott mccall is the single most relevant and subversive lead protagonist of all early 2010s teen tv shows because the central thesis of his character is that everything is always about Love and that no love is never wasted and that love will always come back to you and that even when it dooms you hurts you breaks you that love will always save you and that is why you must always love love love because love is rebellion and love is defiance and love will remain in the end

ive complained about this before but my FAVORITE brand of teen wolf post were the completely clueless detached sterek ones, like this one post i saw back in the day that completely earnestly said, "how dare they not let sterek be canon, it's the only ship on the show founded in trust and respect" like this is not a strawman this is a legit post i saw with hundreds of notes. sorry it just still makes me HOWL laughing. "trust and respect" girl it's founded in stiles suicide baiting derek and derek calling stiles a pencil-necked loser freak and both of them desperately, erotically wanting scott to kiss their forehead goodnight

People that think Scott would ever abandon Stiles because of what happened in season 5 or season 3b make me cackle. Scott??? Turn away from a possible murderer?????? Let me just give you his track record.
- Peter Hale: Tried to make Scott kill all of his friend by forcing him to shift against his will, wake up in the middle of the forest with no recollection all while Scott was trying to understand what werewolf even was. = Amicable relationship, never forced him to part from his nephew, only ever truly fought him when he wanted to hurt others.
-Jackson: All round asshole, killed people in his sleep, literally bullied Scott and threatened to ‘out’ him to a family of werewolf hunters. = More than amicable relationship, Scott defended Jackson more than once and was the one of the only people that fought to save him.
-Gerard: do I even need to say anything.= Found a way to subdue him without killing him (#chemist Scott), didn’t harbour any bad feelings towards Chris when he healed his father in season 6
-Chris Argent: Shot him in the fucking arm for no reason, threatened to blow his brains out for being together with his daughter= literal besties
-Victoria Argent: tried to suffocate him to death= didn’t say anything to ANYONE because he didn’t want to tarnish her memory
-Deucalion: calls himself “The Demon Wolf”= besties, Scott’s trust in his goodness turned him into a pacifist and an ally on multiple occasions.
-Theo: isolated him from his pack before killing him= Didn’t completely freak out on Liam for reviving him even though Theo killed him less than six months ago. One can argue that he would’ve totally housed Theo if he knew Theo was homeless
Y’all think he would kick Stiles out for supposedly bashing one dudes brains out with a wrench??? One pesky murder??????
Scott is the walking personification of “but mother I can fix him”, he was overwhelmed at the moment with a bunch of teenagers dying and Malia wanting to kill her mum and Kira wanting to fight everyone and now Stiles supposedly killed someone. His reaction was understandable and he handled it like a champ I’d say. But he would NEVER EVER abandon his brother, murder and miscommunication be damned.

ppl seem to do this thing in fandoms where theyll take a character whos inherently kind and trusting of people and then they make the fanon version of them ignorant or innocent to certain things by default and i dont like it
