#sceo and layden r basically one and the same

[justbuddies]

hayden and theo r my favorite chimeras (or former chimera in Hayden’s case) and i think their relationship with liam and scott respectively are so interesting in how similar they are

like, the thing about theo and hayden is that both of them could’ve been werewolves, like scott and liam, if there were no dread doctors. if theo had stayed in beacon hills there’s a chance he could’ve become a werewolf around the time scott does. he could’ve been the one offered the bite by peter instead of stiles, he could’ve sought it out like jackson did, he could’ve wanted the bite for himself (i honestly believe he would have). him and scotts main difference is that theo is a chimera while scotts a werewolf, but they could’ve been the same if the dread doctors never came into theo’s life.

hayden is the same. she was going to meet liam eventually, bc they know each other from sixth grade and are in the same class at school, plus liam and his friends go to the club where she works. they would’ve crossed paths and they could’ve fell in love organically (it was all there already without the supernatural aspect—they were so enemies to lovers) and hayden would’ve been tied to the supernatural that way. but she got turned into a chimera before even meeting liam again, changing their relationship.

that’s so interesting to me. also the fact that theo and hayden come back into scott and liams lives as chimeras. the fact that they’re chimeras is the thing that impacts both of their relationships with scott and liam, affecting it negatively. like liam and hayden go through the whole thing in s5 because liam is a werewolf in scotts pack while hayden’s a chimera! what they are and how their lives were changed by becoming apart of the supernatural (scott and liam by being bit, theo and hayden by being turned) will always be the thing that separates them, that prevents them from working out.
