OMG ANOTHER ONE!!!
SCILES MY BELOVED!!!
This episode is SPOILING ME!! (I honest to god think this might be one of my favorite episodes of all time and I don't know how that happened but it did. But there's just SO MUCH TO LOVE ABOUT IT! XD <3 <3 <3 <3)
ANYWAYS!!
It's a short scene. We're quoting the whole thing and commenting as we go. Deal with it. XD
"Hey I don't need to say this wasn't your fault, right?"
"I don't know."
The fact that Stiles knows his best friend enough to know that he's feeling guilty as all heck for something that he REALLY SHOULDN'T (accidents happen, Scott. Sports are dangerous. Not your fault.), but that he phrases it in such a good way by making it seem so naturally obvious that it wasn't his fault. Plus, extra points to the fact that you could pretty clearly see Stiles wrestling internally with himself about whether or not he should bring it up and deciding he couldn't walk away without trying to ease some of Scott's distress.
"Scott if you had used any wolf power, that kid wouldn't be limping, he'd be crawling, back to the other half of his body."
"If I hadn't been so worried about being captain, he wouldn't be hurt either."
Scott that is so not fair to yourself, okay? We all saw that little head shake you did after it happened, and we ALL knew you were thinking it, but that's NOT FAIR TO YOURSELF, okay? And then I LOVE the way Stiles tells him that.
"It's okay to want something for yourself once in a while. Team captain, Alpha werewolf...you're still only human."
I MEAN!!
It's the way that Stiles gets right to the heart of the matter in calling out Scott's incessant need to put others above himself.
It's the way Stiles says it so confidently, because he believes it, because it's true.
It's the way Scott just looks at him in slight disbelief, like the concept of wanting something for himself is completely foreign to him, especially now, even though he totally deserves better.
It's the way that Stiles just looks at Scott in pure awe and admiration and love, like he can't possibly fathom how this man doesn't see himself the way he sees him.
It's the way that Stiles gives him that last little smile and comforting shoulder pat, reminding him he's still here even as he walks away.
It's the way that Scott, despite his guilt-ridden self, gives that slight smile back and watches him go.
It's the way that these two adorable idiots see the absolute best in each other, but can never see the good in themselves.
THIS IS WHY THEY HAVE EACH OTHER AND THIS IS WHY THEY NEED EACH OTHER AND AHHHHH!!!
Twenty second scenes, ten minutes scenes, and now, a thirty second scene, successfully way over analyzed with all of my emotions losing all functionality.
You're welcome.
EVERY MOMENT COUNTS WITH THESE TWO, OKAY?!
EVERY!
SINGLE!
ONE!!
I LOVE THEM!!
In other news, despite this being a Sciles-centric post (though, frankly, what isn't these days? XD), I do feel the need to acknowledge the human meat locker that Parrish and Lydia just discovered. That's lovely. Thank you for that.
It also makes me wonder...was the dude that killed Sean's family actually the innocent one the whole time? Was Sean's family a family of murderers? Cause...that meat locker is in THEIR house...
Anyways.
Brief shout-out to the look Melissa had on her face when she saw Sciles in the hallway of the hospital, because it had the same "oh god what now" vibes as when Noah saw them run into the Sheriff's station after he encountered de-aged Derek. I love our boys' parents. XD <3
ANYWAYS!!
SCILES I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER!! <3 <3 <3
(Okay, I will admit, from this one gif especially, I can 100% see why people ship these two romantically, but platonic relationships are my jam, so these two are always gonna be platonic for me. Sorry. XD <3)

going insane thinking about the harrow and palamedes friendship. harrow, who has never met another necromancer her age forming a bizarro 3D chess rivalry while pal worries about her safety at every possible turn. harrow, who is up to her eyebrows in paranoia and secrecy, trusting the sixth house with gideon unconscious and hurt, letting them into the ninth house quarters unsupervised. if “i cannot conceive of a universe without you in it” is goth for i love you, “death first to vultures and scavengers” has got to be goth for i love you (platonic). pal’s first reaction when harrow comes into his bubble in the river is to scoop her up in a hug, and at this point she doesn’t remember anything about him because cutting out all her memories of gideon is impossible without cutting out memories of the sixth, but she still makes him a skelehand to inhabit anyway. when harrow’s memories are finally whole, she tells dulcinea she couldn’t face pal knowing that his pen pal girlfriend died on her account, but the next time she “faces” him, palamades’s soul is in someone else’s body and harrow’s body is full of nona’s soul. he spends six months protecting and caring for harrow’s body (and nona obv), believing in the possibility of bringing her back to it the same way cam believed in him. “god, do you know i miss harrow terribly.” and by the time harrow comes back to her body at the very end of ntn, pal is gone forever, fully pauled. the last time harrow and palamades see each other as their complete selves is in canaan house, alive and unlyctored. two of the smartest and loneliest people in the solar system meet each other in the worst of circumstances and spend the rest of the story dancing around each other as fragments of themselves, trying to care about each other in the interim but never fully meeting like they did the first time. a friendship made almost entirely of missing the other person. “do you know i miss harrow terribly.” god. i need to lie down

Gray and Graysons
One of the Bats has a secret. Something they never told to the others.
They were so very young but they have memories of a sibling, so small and tiny. They remember the burst of warmth they had in their heart when they held the tiny baby for just a moment.
But they weren’t allowed to keep them, their family couldn’t raise them. Money was tight, just enough for three but not for four, despite their shows always bringing in a crowd it was getting harder and harder for the world to be wowed by them in the new age and their sibling was too small and tiny and needed to be cared in a single place than for them to be on the road. Their lifestyle was not good for his tiny sibling apparently.
They had to watch as their parents gave his sibling away to people in suits, them promising to give his baby brother to a loving family when they find a ‘home’ for him. He watched his parents try to be strong only for his mother to break down once the car left down the road, his father holding her and apologizing, the rest of the circus troupe all silently coming over to give the heartbroken family condolences.
Richard ‘Dick’ Grayson had tears running down his face when he last saw his baby brother.
A brother he got to name before he had to be given away.
Daniel ‘Danny’ Grayson.
-x-x-
Dick never told the others. If anyone dug deep into his past they might find his brother’s birth records maybe, if someone got around to digitizing the paperwork for him but given the fact he was placed in the US childcare systems just a few days after his birth and the fact that Dick was still pretty young they most likely believed he didn’t remember his baby brother now. Not after so many years.
But they were wrong, Dick remembers. And he kept the secret close to his heart and memories.
And the only physical evidence he had was a single picture of him holding his brother, a smile on his tiny face towards their father who had taken the photo of them together. When he had lost his parents, lost most of the things that connected him to them, to his past in the circus that had been his whole life, had been taken from him in Gotham’s ruthless childcare system, he held on tight to the picture in secret. Hid it away from anyone trying to rip it from him, hid it from Bruce when the man took him in days later, hid it from Alfred despite how gentle the butler was towards him. He couldn’t, wouldn’t risk losing his photo at the time, he hadn’t trusted anyone and by the time he did he didn’t have the heart to reveal it.
So yes, the existence of his baby brother Danny was his most guarded and best kept secret.
So that’s why Dick, as Nightwing, nearly died from a heart attack when leaving a Justice League meeting he spotted a familiar face among one of the new engineers working in the Watchtower.
It was like seeing a young version of himself. Only, Dick could see that the young man was more than a copy of him, so much more than a clone. He held many traces of John Grayson but also had a bit more of Mary Grayson than Dick did. Small details that Dick foggely remembers taking note when he had held his baby brother.
“Hey, hurry up with that report Gray!” Shouted the head engineer from down the hall, his hand beckoning the young adult to come over.
“Coming! And boss, I told you Danny is fine!” Danny shouted back before hurriedly leaving a stunned Nightwing.

I need codependent Danny/Jason as a little treat (for me) and I love the idea of them having some sort of instant connection the moment they meet (bc ghost stuff idk)
Danny who's been dropped in Gotham with no way home (alt universe??) and he's been here for 36 hours and having a Very bad time senses a liminal being and immediately latches onto them heedless of the fact that his new best friend is shooting at some seedy guys in an alley and goes off about how stressed he is and how he can't make it back to the ghost zone and what a bad day he's been having (and it's important to note Danny is a littol ghost boy literally hanging off of Jason's neck as he floats aimlessly) and Jason is like "who are you??" And Danny is like "oh sorry I'm Danny lol" and then just continues lamenting his woes
And honestly ? This might as well happen. Nothing about this Danny guy(is he human?) gives Jason a bad vibe and tbh he's never felt more calm and level headed before so he just keeps up his usual Red Hood patrol and doesn't even think about it when he heads back to a safehouse and feeds Danny dinner (breakfast) before crashing for half the day
The only thing I actually need is Jason meeting up with the bats for some sort of Intel meeting and they're like "uhhh who's that" and Jason is like "that's Danny." And does not elaborate (very ".... What do you have there?" "A smoothie" vibes)
And it takes them a while to realize that these two have known each other for less than 12 hours and are literally attached at the hip
