#I hate Kate argent

[sterekmpreg]

Kate is a grown-ass woman towards a literal child because she is a crazy predator (and I’m tired of people not acknowledging it and Derek’s trauma from it):

Stiles defending Derek cause that’s his mans and Kate just so in the wrong:

Just a reminder: Kate Argent is a predatory bitch😐

Teen Wolf 1x12 | Movie

[marnz]

speaking of valley book,

 i keep struggling with wanting tyler to be likeable before catching myself and being like, who cares? truly, who cares. i think one of my main cautions about this project (once i figured out what i was writing) was i and society in general spend a lot of time thinking about men who are violent. frankly we spend a lot of time justifying it. i think this is done to give us the illusion of agency, of control. if we understand why it happened we can avoid it, etc. it’s my job to think about why my characters do what they do! characters need to have complex motivations, even if they swear up and down their motivations are the opposite of what they truly are. you cannot have people just doing things! so for tyler i understand why he is the way he is and why he’s doing what he’s doing (for me it’s often a backwards discovery process).

but in no way am i writing a redemption arc. i am not interested in redemption, as a whole. the project of redemption makes me uneasy, i suppose, because it’s categorizing people as good or bad and giving them little check marks on their way to being Good. i like redemption arcs in like...TV. Person of Interest has a banger redemption arc for Root. arguably Jamie is in the middle of his redemption arc on Ted Lasso. both are very compelling to me. But i don’t really love them in books. books have a different job. and while i love to see people change, i love that complicated process as development of character. but what even is good and what even is bad! is good good or is good likeable? can you give me a character who does stuff and give me a coherent depiction of their headspace and their reasoning? i am more interested in this than surfing through good and evil. i’m not sure this makes sense. when i was writing my fantasy series, i wanted to consciously stay away from good and evil because fantasy has this ludicrous tradition of like. The Forces of Darkness, etc. instead i just made the entire thing about politics, which is arguably where real evil hangs out.

anyway i think there’s a way to depict character development and change in books without labeling it As A Redemptive Arc. labeling it flattens it. i am not sure this makes sense, i am just thinking out loud about why redemption arcs are a little weird to me. maybe it’s because i am very easily won over by characters expressing emotion even if they work for The Forces of Darkness or whatever. of course there’s an important message that we all suck and are all capable of doing horrible things and we’re also all capable of doing good things...

maybe it is because (for me) redemption implies humanity. it implies empathy. and it implies them having to do things and reach a certain point before being given dignity. which i don’t think...is fair..they shouldn’t have to be redeemed for this to happen...anyway. if you read that, sorry, let me know what you think. i’m just vibing and thinking aloud

saw this tiktok trend and had to try it...

Ten, you're selfish

nine, you're jaded

Eight, the dumbest guy I dated

Seven, talk a big game 'til you're naked

Only six seconds, and I had to fake it

Five, you're toxic

four, can't trust you

Three, you still got mommy issues

Two years of your bullshit I can't undo

One, I hate the fact that you made me love you

[kitkatwinchester]

I F*CKING HATE PETER!!

But I also F*CKING LOVE OUR PACK!!!

And as much as I f*cking hate Peter's manipulation and the way he's coordinating this WHOLE F*CKING THING, it is soooo nice to see (most of) our pack together again to take on the big bad.

I mean, we're missing two VERY KEY MEMBERS, our ALPHA being one of them, but we can fix that, right?

RIGHT?!

Also KIRA BETTER NOT BE DEAD I SWEAR TO F*CKING GOD!

I DIDN'T SEE A BODY!!!

NO BODY MEANS NOT DEAD!!!

THAT'S MY RULE OF THUMB!!!

DON'T GO KILLING KIRA ON ME LIKE THAT!!

Anyways back to how much I F*CKING HATE PETER!

"You might see human eyes behind those skulls. Do not assume there's any humanity left." "You do not fight Berserkers to survive. You fight to kill."

F*CK YOU PETER!!!

F*CK YOU F*CK YOU F*CK YOU!!!

I HATE YOU SO F*CKING MUCH!!!

You set this WHOLE F*CKING THING up JUST to kill Scott and I HATE YOU FOR IT!!

But there is absolutely NO F*CKING WAY you get away with it.

Not when we have a pack like this.

So F*CK YOU, and I cannot WAIT for all of this to crumble right in front of you, because the McCall Pack is TOO F*CKING GOOD FOR THAT, and Scott is TOO F*CKING GOOD FOR THAT, and he will FIND A WAY TO FIGHT IT, and the pack will FIGURE IT OUT, and you will be SCREWED, and I HOPE somebody kills you, because as funny as you are, I am SOOOO done with your manipulation, and I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!!

Also Lydia AND Mason are both in danger now, and Mason is SO IN THE DARK, and I F*CKING HATE IT!!!

I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT!!

Thank GOD for this pack and all of their amazingness with each other or I would never have any hope.

Derek being willing to sacrifice his life to save Scott and Kira, and Braeden not being okay with that in any sense of the word, but understanding where it's coming from.

Stiles going against his dad yet again, because as much as he loves and trusts and respects his dad, Scott will always come first. <3

Liam being determined to come in order to save Scott even though he is absolutely terrified and at a major risk of losing control.

Stiles and Derek's banter about who they're bringing.

Stiles's concern for Lydia when she's not picking up the phone.

Liam being so quick to jump in with a solution to attempt to ease Stiles's worries about Lydia and help them be able to leave to get to Scott.

Stiles's concern for Liam when Peter recognizes how scared he is.

Stiles's concern for Malia sitting up front with Peter, and Malia's little nod of acceptance about the "no bonding" knowing that Stiles is only looking out for her.

Stiles's confusion at Derek's statement about the talisman, but ultimate acceptance (albeit...not very smoothly) once he sees what Derek is getting at.

Malia telling Peter that Scott says they're not supposed to kill, because that's way promising and will probably get in Peter's way.

This pack just 100% going all in to save their pack members, no matter how hard it may be, and what difficulties they may hit along the way, because they all love and care about each other SO MUCH.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again.

To answer your question, Kate...

THIS is what makes Scott McCall special, because this is what makes the McCall Pack special.

They would drop everything and do anything for each other in a heartbeat, but no matter what, they will also always try to do the right thing, and that loyalty and kindness? It's gonna be the thing that destroys you--BOTH of you.

So watch the f*ck out.

Because we're saving Scira, if it's the last thing we do.

No matter what.

Not a gif, but it's a big ole f*ck you Kate and Peter, so deal with it.

(NOTHING can keep this pack down, and nothing can tear them apart (I'm just gonna pretend I don't know the plot of Season 5...), so F*CK YOU ALL!)

Update: YES KIRA!!! THAT'S MY GIRL!!! I KNEW SHE WASN'T DEAD!!! THEY WOULDN'T DO ME (or Scott) LIKE THAT!!! ATTAGIRL KIRA!!! LET'S F*CKING GO!!! WE CAN TOTALLY COME OUT ON TOP!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Update Part II: YES LIAM!!! YES STILES!!! THOSE ARE MY BOYS!!! ATTAWAY!!! WAY TO FIND THE CONTROL!!! LET'S F*CKING DO THIS THING!! WE CAN DO THIS!!! I HAVE FAITH IN US!!!!

Update Part III: THAT LOOK BETWEEN DEREK AND STILES I CANNOT!!! (Also h*ll, even Peter seems worried about Derek. I guess it's nice to know that of all the people he truly wants dead after all this, his own nephew isn't one of them.) Anyways. Stiles is soooo worried about Derek, but Derek is soooo worried about Scott, and he doesn't care what happens to him as long as Scott is okay, and Stiles can sense that, and as worried as he is about Scott, it clearly hurts him that they might be about to lose Derek, and I just.... Yeah I totally see why so many people ship Sterek. :'( :'( <3 <3 <3 LYDIA BETTER NOT BE RIGHT I SWEAR TO GOD!

Update Part IV (Because I'm getting lazy and don't wanna make a whole new post so I can keep watching lol.): ABSOLUTELY F*CKING NOT! You do NOT get to bring in an awesome Parrish and Argent save (Argent is seriously running on ALL of the adrenaline right now holy sh*t) and then KILL DEREK ANYWAYS. No. I refuse. He won't die. I refuse. And now Stiles knows that one of them is Scott, so WE'LL BE FINE RIGHT?! RIGHT?!

Update Part V: LYDIA AND THE BASEBALL BAT!! TAKING AFTER STILES!! WE LOVE HER!!! AND MASON COMING IN HOT RIGHT AFTER HER!!! LET'S F*CKING GO, LYDIA!!! LET'S F*CKING GO, MASON!!! MCCALL PACK FOR THE WIN!! <3 <3

Update Part VI (Okay I promise, I'll just make a new post the next time I wanna say something): NOAH WE LOVE YOU!! YES!! THANK YOU FOR STILL BEING A PART OF THIS FIGHT, no matter how mad you are at your son. WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH! <3 <3 <3

[teencopandthesourwolf]

even if it was a really cool piece of art/edit etc, i could NEVER EVER have a picture of k*te fucking argent on my dash. not ever. sorry folx i hate that despicable piece of shit

[stilinskiderek]

good morning i am once again mad about kate argent

[arlos-warm-drpepper]

I like the idea of Derek being a good guy, kind to the people around him, generally loved by all. Soft.

But maybe, maybe Derek is having a really shitty day when he meets Stiles. Maybe it’s the anniversary of Laura’s death, or his families death, or maybe he had a run in with Kate Argent early that morning and couldn’t get it out’ve his head.

And maybe Stiles isn’t the type to take someone’s shit. Maybe Stiles is sure he knows what kind of guy Derek is. Maybe he misjudges Derek off of the first impression, and maybe Derek is too flustered to apologize right off the bat.

Maybe when they meet for the first time, at a place where they’ll be forced to see each other in a pretty permanent arrangement, (perhaps they’re coworkers at work, or roommates in college, or something) Derek is a little bit of a grade A asshole due to his mood, and maybe Stiles remembers Jackson from highschool, and makes a promise to himself that that will not happen again, so he gives as good as he gets. Derek makes a snarky, rude comment and Stiles immediately makes one back, deciding that if he’s going to have to deal with this jerk, then he’s going to have to do it well. Maybe the next time they see each other, Derek is feeling better but isn’t sure how to start a conversation since he’s sure he’s already ruined any chance at being friendly with Stiles, so instead he just quietly tries to stay out’ve Stiles way, to make things easier and less awkward for the both of them. And maybe Stiles takes this as just more assholery, because of course the super hot guy he’s forced to be in proximity with thinks Stiles is so below him that he doesn’t even speak to him. What a dickhead. Maybe he gets so annoyed at Derek that he needs an outlet to complain to, so he starts up a conversation with one of his friends (who knows Derek as well) by going “you know Derek, right?” And before he can even start complaining they go “Derek? Obviously. Everyone knows Derek. You don’t usually meet people who are so attractive and kind and just forget about them.” And so Stiles stops, mouth agape, before clarifying “Derek Hale? Kind?” And then the other person, seemingly not sensing Stiles disbelief, start’s basically waxing poetry about how kind Derek is. They start bringing up all the good deeds Derek’s done, like how Derek donates to local charities, and volunteers at homeless shelters, and all of the other kind stuff Dereks apparently done. Maybe after awhile the shock wears off, and Stiles asks around a little more, and it seems everyone is apart of the Derek Hale fan club, and Stiles is annoyed. He doesn’t understand how everyone is so unbelievably in love with Derek when he’s such a jerk. He replays the conversation he had with Derek in his head, because maybe he missed something and Derek wasn’t actually being a jackass, but there is no other way to see it. Derek was a jerk, simple as that. He spends his days assuming that maybe everyone was just blindsided by Dereks dashing good looks to even realize what a jerk he was, up until he himself sees how good of a guy Derek is. He sees Derek buy a kid another ice cream after they dropped theirs, and then he sees Derek help an elderly woman cross the street and huffs about how fucking cliche that is. He notices the way that Derek always holds the door open for anybody he’s accompanied by, and even holds the elevator door open for Stiles himself. He still doesn’t say anything to Stiles though, and Stiles starts to wonder what he could’ve done to have the best guy in town hate him. He tries hard to come up with an explanation other than ‘I’m just an unlikable guy, I guess’ because that just seems a little too pathetic. When he draws a blank, he decides to just confront Derek himself. He walks right up to his desk (or maybe his room, if you went with the roommates option and not the coworker option) and just asks “What did I do to make you hate me?” In a tone that was meant to come out angry, but for some odd reason it comes out a little bit desperate. It makes Dereks eyes wide and he stutters out, “I- I don’t hate you.” But he doesn’t sound sure enough for Stiles, so Stiles continues on. “Really? Because it seems like you hate me. You can’t even look at me half the time, and you go to extreme efforts to ignore me. Which, fine, that would be totally fine if everyone wasn’t constantly talking about how kind you are to them. So what is it about me that makes you hate my guts? Do I talk too much? Am I too loud? Is it just my general existence or-“

“Stiles! I don’t, I didn’t..” Derek attempts, struggling to find the words. “I don’t hate you. I was just trying not to bother you.” He mumbles finally, the tips of his ears pink. It sounds silly when he says it out loud, and he realizes how badly Stiles could’ve misinterpreted the situation.

“..bother me?” Stiles said, confused and shocked.

Derek nods, hesitating to continue but pushing through anyways. “Yeah, when we met I was… I was going through something, and obviously I know that’s not an excuse to be an asshole, which is why I was trying to avoid you. I could tell you disliked me, which you have every right to with how I treated you, so I decided to just stay out of your way. Didn’t want to bother you.” Derek says, his face heating up at the admission.

A quiet “oh.” Is all Stiles can manage, and Derek just nods.

(Just so everyone knows you can steal this idea and write it better as long as you send it to me or @ me so I can read it)

[sheryl-lee]

no because i just remembered a few extra things that make the teen wolf m*vie even more of a pathetic exercise in clownery:

allison staying Alive and getting back together w/ scott means that they’re doing a dan/serena in s3 of gossip girl (in that they are dating. while their parents are ALSO dating. ew. gross. what the fuckkkkk)

the age gap between malia and parrish is JUST as gross as when they tried to make lydia and parrish a thing in s5 and it’s disgusting and i hate parrish on the basis that he is an empty husk of a character who’s always Just There and Shirtless Whilst On Fire

speaking of, derek dies by setting himself on fire. FIRE. the same thing that killed HIS FUCKING FAMILY????? and he sets himself on fire in front of his own son which he would never do because he went through the same thing when he watched his family die???? 🥴 huh?????

isaac took the box that contained the nogitsune in it w/ him to like france or whatever. so how the fuck do liam and discount!kira have it with them in JAPAN????? 

the logistics of derek having a 15 yr old child is so ridiculously dumb like they didn’t even TRY with that it makes no sense and the only person who could be the mother is fucking kate argent (derek’s literal rapist) and i hate that so much

stiles would never leave the jeep behind. the jeep is the only thing he has left of his mother. why would he leave it in beacon hills and then never return to beacon hills. lmao.

in the s3 finale, the pack defeats the nogitsune with a WOLF BITE. because he “can’t be a fox and a wolf” (direct quote!). so how the fuck does the nogitsune come back and turn into a *squints* FOX WOLF HYBRID is this even real-

lydia said that her grandmother had banshee premonitions of her own gf dying, and even though she tried to prevent it, her gf died anyway. so how can lydia be 100% sure that if she breaks up with stiles, he still won’t die????? lmao

how are derek and scott both true alphas if there’s only 1 in like a 1000 years or whatever the fuck i forgot but. it’s still stupid

there’s probably more but yeah this is what happens when you can’t just leave well enough alone. let things end. not every piece of media needs a reboot revival requel sequel spinoff whatever. just let things go instead of sacrificing your fans and creativity for a soulless cash grab 🫥

[christinesficrecs]

Hello! I've been reading a lot of the fics you rec. I was wondering if you have any more fics that are like or are similar to Waiting by isthatbloodonhisshirt on a03? That's my favorite fanfic and would greatly appreciate it, please and thank you!

Waiting is completely brilliant!! It deserves to be your favorite. ❤️ Here are a few more feral/full wolf Derek fics that I love.

Waiting by isthatbloodonhisshirt (wasterella) | 81K

Not wanting to think on it took much, Stiles took a step forward and passed his hand between the bars, moving the bleeding side closer to Derek’s mouth.

“Not too close, he bites.”

Stiles snatched his hand away just as Derek had been about to lick at it. The snarl he got in response was not comforting.

“He what?” Stiles asked nervously, turning to Deaton.

The man looked a little amused. “Don’t worry, only if he doesn’t like you.”

“Well, he probably hates me, now!” Stiles insisted, turning back to Derek.

He looked extremely displeased.

The One With The Scottish Wolf Lord by Stoney | 11.7K | Explicit

The Hales are alive and a royal family in Scotland; Stiles is the waif sent to work in the kitchens, elevated to personal attendant/servant to the young Lord Hale. Who happens to be a wolf who can’t shift back. 

The Wolf in the Tower by  exclamation | 57K

Too many people are scared of witches so when Stiles accidentally sets a building on fire with magic, he is taken prisoner and dragged before Lord Hale. Rather than leave an untrained magic user free, Peter Hale thinks he might be able to make use of Stiles’ skills and hands Stiles over to his sorceror Deaton to be trained. Stiles is still unsure about his future, but he’s even more confused when he finds out that one of his new duties involves feeding the black wolf imprisoned at the top of one of the towers. There’s something very strange about this wolf and Stiles can’t help wondering if magic might be involved.

Lock All The Doors Behind You by  entanglednow | 25.9K

He has no idea what you’re supposed to say when you find one of your…werewolf acquaintances, completely out of their mind, growling like they’re about to see what your insides taste like. There’s no handbook for this. Stiles is thinking that if he survives he might write one.

The Hale Beast by secretfanboy | 17.7K | Mature

Stiles would rather be at home playing X-Box than attending the ceremony inaugurating the Wolf nation’s sovereignty over the Argent kingdom, but he’s the Sheriff’s son so those are the breaks. What he doesn’t expect is the feral werewolf Prince Derek AKA The Beast to take an interest in him.  

Fully Grown by thedaughterofkings | 36K

Stumbling across a wolf in the preserve is not what Stiles expects when he goes for a run the last night before school starts again. But even if the wolf acts more intelligent than a mere animal, he can’t have anything to do with Stiles’ unusual soulmark, four vicious scratches down his forearm, can he?

And what is Kate Argent doing back in Beacon Hills for the first time since the Hale Fire?

Stand Fast in Your Enchantments by DevilDoll, Rahciach | 76.9K

“Stiles knew damn well what a pissed-off wolf sounded like, and every hair on the back of his neck was telling him that somewhere in this room was a very pissed-off werewolf.” An AU in which Derek is feral, Stiles is magical, and they eat a lot of fast food.

Fire, Fury, and Flame by IAmAVeronica | 124.5K

Stiles Stilinski was never going to be the omega who got knocked up right after high school, and then he’s accidentally artificially inseminated with a stranger’s sperm. Awesome. And the father of Stiles’s baby just so happens to be Derek Hale. Half-feral, quite possibly a murderer, and pursued by a gleefully sadistic band of hunters who are only too eager to use Stiles and his baby to hit Derek right where it hurts. Joy.

Don’t Feed the Wolves by Amazonia_8 | 30.3K

Stiles took the dare, because what else was he supposed to do when the whole lacrosse team was chanting his name? Even though the werewolf pack had left Beacon Hills years ago, nobody was stupid enough to set foot on the Hale property.

Except, apparently, Stiles.

Now he’s got a feral werewolf following him around town with the sole purpose of claiming Stiles as his own.

I’ll wrap up my bones, And leave them by LunaCanisLupus_22 | 65.1K | Explicit

The sign on the cage actually reads Beware: The Beast! in that crappy horror movie red paint that trickles down the paper in a failed attempt to appear like dripping blood.

And it would seem stupid if not for the living supernatural creature currently trapped behind its bars. Little hard to dismiss the big, hulking werewolf as a poorly constructed horror movie prop.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Dude, cannot catch a break.

Where the Real Beasts Are by kaistrex (weishen) | 109K | Explicit

Crown Prince Stiles is gifted a direwolf on his eighteenth birthday by King Gerard I of Venatia. The only instruction? Never remove the collar.

Stiles never has been one to do as he’s told.

[wheredidhiseyebrowsgo]

Heya guys! ya'll are awesome by the way :) I'm pretty sure this hasn't been asked yet, but could you find some Sterek fics where either Stiles or Derek wear glasses and the other finds it really attractive, please? :D

Sure!

A Bite by FairyNiamh

(1/1 I 408 I Teen)

It was only a cake, how bad could a bite be?

Eye of the Beholder by TricksterShi

(1/1 I 3,941 I Teen)

"When was the last time you had an eye exam?"

A simple question leads to some lingering body issues Stiles has to wrestle with but, in the end, Derek proves Stiles has nothing to worry about when it comes to what he looks like through Derek's eyes.

First Date (Queer Your Coffee, Part Two) by alisvolatpropiis

(1/1 I 4,791 I Explicit)

“Holy fuck,” Derek whispers when finally sees Stiles’ cock. It’s gorgeous, long and thick with a big head, which is pierced, the tip shiny and wet. He should have expected it really, the piercing, a prince albert he thinks it’s called, not sure because he’s never seen one, never knew how fucking hot it could be. There are two balls just like the ones in Stiles’ tongue, one nestled in his pretty little slit, the other tucked under the crown of his head, joined by a slightly curved bar under the skin. Derek swallows hard and his mouth fills with hot saliva, one hand going to his own cock, shoving his boxer briefs down his thighs in a rush. He wants to stroke himself, but the thought of that piercing on his tongue, against his throat, fuck, in his ass, has him dangerously close to coming untouched, so he grips the base hard instead, staving it off.

Stiles purrs. “See something you like, big guy?”

Stiles Stilinski, Boyfriend Extraordinaire by MereLoup

(4/4 I 14,429 I General)

“Beacon County Sheriff's Department, this is deputy Mahealani speaking.”

“Oh thank god!”

“Stiles?”

“I, uh, I need some advice.”

“Advice?”

“Yeah. So, hypothetically, say you met your boyfriend’s mother and sister for the first time ever. Completely by accident. In the grocery store. And they convinced you to help them make a dinner to surprise aforementioned boyfriend when he got home after work. What would you do?”

Danny paused, and then, “Stiles, you don’t have a boyfriend.”

“That’s not the point! And I said hypothetically.”

“Stiles...what are you doing right now?”

***

Stiles never imagined he’d be in Derek’s kitchen cooking a surprise dinner with Derek’s family while they waited for Derek to get home from work.

Partly because their visit was a complete surprise.

But mostly because Stiles didn’t have a boyfriend.

Or even know who Derek was.

But he’d already come this far and Papa didn’t raise no quitter!

no aphrodisiac like loneliness by thepsychicclam

(1/1 I 19,705 I Explicit)

Stiles is 27 now, with a master’s degree and a career and a house and a serious boyfriend and a life in San Francisco that doesn't include Derek. But then Stiles unexpectedly shows back up in Beacon Hills, and Derek would recognize that scent anywhere.

Falling down like dominoes by allofspace

(7/7 I 21,666 I Teen)

Stiles has just started a new job, uprooting his life (new city, new apartment) to finally put his degree to good use. Aside from the hot brooding guy who refuses to smile at him, and his creepy cubicle-mate, the people are great, especially his new BFF Allison. Scott may or may not be taking their separation horribly.

10 Things I Hate (love) About You by catsteww

(1/1 I 31,153 I Teen)

When Kate Argent hires Stiles to date Derek and get paid for it, Stiles obviously agrees and sets out to win his heart. Except Stiles wasn't expecting Derek to actually have layers underneath his tough exterior, and he certainly wasn't expecting to develop pesky little feelings for him. And everything gets a little messed up along the way.

Lightly based on the movie.

If You Wanna Be My Roomie (Lover) by orphan_account

(23/23 I 65,056 I Explicit)

Realistically, Stiles knew that the local University's popularity and commonality meant that many members of his graduating high school class would be starting the Fall 2016 semester alongside him, but he never expected his longtime crush to be one of them. Even more so, he never expected said crush to be assigned as his roommate...oh boy.

I Wish He Was Mine, He's Really Divine by yodasyoyo 

(24/24 I 87,706 I Teen)

Derek has been pining for Stiles Stilinski for years. He never thought he'd actually be in with a chance, but all that's about to change.

OR: Very slow build Sterek, with nerd!Derek, sort of badboy!Stiles, plenty of pining and a Kira/Derek friendship for the ages.

[princeescaluswords]

Indisputably

@camelotpark I can't get over the idea that 'you can't be racist against Scott McCall unless you specifically declare you hate him for being Latino," while every reason these people give could be applied to their favorite white male character just as easily.

If you hate Scott McCall because he didn't realize Stiles was in trouble in the swimming pool during the Abomination (2x04) while he and Allison were trying to break into Gerard Argent's safe but you don't hate Stiles for almost shooting Scott in the head with a crossbow bolt in Venomous (2x05) or becoming MVP of the Lacrosse Championship while Scott was fighting for his life in the locker room in Battlefield (2x11), you might be racist.

If you hate Scott McCall because he told Derek that werewolf hunters might have a reason to hunt werewolves in Magic Bullet (1x04), but you don't hate Stiles when he told Derek that he killed Laura because he was jealous of her turning into a full wolf in Second Chance at First Line (1x02), you might be racist.

If you hate Scott McCall because he didn't put aside the trauma of being gassed to death by Victoria Argent for the crime of dating her daughter so he could tell Allison the truth and thus 'protect Derek's pack,' but you don't hate Derek for not putting aside his trauma and telling Scott about how Kate seduced him and thus 'protect Scott," you might be racist.

If you hate Scott McCall because he went with Deucalion rather than staying with Stiles in The Overlooked (3x10) because he didn't think he had any choice, but you don't hate Stiles for not telling Scott about Donovan when it first happened because Stiles didn't think he had any choice, you might be racist.

I could go on for like, an hour. All these events have context, but if your hatred of the lead protagonist is based on stripping these scenes of all context and all empathy, you might, just might be acting in a racist manner without consciously declaring that you are about to do that.

"I'm not racist unless I say I'm being racist" is not a logical argument.

[wolfromate]

I hate Scott thats not a secret BUT i thought it would have been so interesting if the story went a different direction in s1 when Scott realizes that Argents are hunters he goes to them willingly and ask them for help to kill the Alpha who bit him and Stiles ending up on other side of the spectrum with Derek? In this scenario i think it would make for a better story if the Argents (minus Kate) are justified for their hatred towards werewolves and if the story switches from Scott's perspective to Stiles's that would have been so much cooler and it could have been even heartbreaking.

[marnz]

ballet au lol 🩰

YES THANK YOU ANON WOW

Derek is a dancer coming back from rehabbing a horrible injury (lower back?? fucked up his knee??) and has a chip on his shoulder because a) he totally has stage fright! b) has a reputation for being surly and overly intense. Pre-injury he was a rising star in the ballet company and had a lot more confidence but now he is a man humbled, quiet, relieved not to be in charge, but he also feels like he has a ton to prove! Especially since his mom and his older sister are famous dancers.

The ballet troupe is smallish and Stiles is in charge of logistics and MARKETING! Because he is a noted uncoordinated klutz. He's all about strategy and reviewing data and making things happen, and he is the absolutely bane of Derek's existence. He wants Derek in photoshoots, he sometimes coordinates with the artistic director (Lydia) on people's roles, Derek finds the way he talks about engaging customers manipulative, and tbh Stiles can be abrasive and annoying! So smart but so mean!

Derek has a recognizable everything face so once he has returned Stiles wants him to do an ad photoshoot so they can slap his picture on the side of a bus and this just makes Derek feels even more pressure. Resents Stiles for this and also because it's compromising Derek's anonymity. His only respite is teaching children's ballet classes, which is something he started doing while rehabbing his injury and also because the pay to be a ballet dancer isn't great at this small troupe!

Derek thinks once his career is over he would like to teach

But sometimes, when Derek is teaching these first graders, who do not care if he is weird and quiet, he notices Stiles watching. He thinks at first Stiles is going to want to use this for marketing but Stiles never says anything about it, just stays to watch Derek and the kids.

Then at some sort of holiday dance event Derek runs into his horrible ex, Kate Argent, who is a principal at a much larger and more prestigious company, and panics...only for Stiles to appear, wrap an arm around Derek like they're dating, and say "hey babe, who's this?"

So it was decided. After a few more knowing and pleading glances, the team split up to retire to their respective rooms- emerging from the festive cocoon of the main lobby to discover the warm purple haze of the summer evening had given way to a mercifully cooler starry night.

Kate: This is an oppressive work environment. Poppy: Do you just like hate Winterfest or something?

Kate: Look- I just don't like being laughed at. Poppy: You think Argent's laughing at us? Kate: Likely. She sent us here on purpose- I just have to figure out why.

Poppy: Maybe she's going to have you visited by three ghosts? Kate: You're very funny. Poppy: Oooh maybe they'll finally be able to pull that massive stick out of your ass! Kate: That's my favorite stick I'll have you know. Plus it's the only thing keeping this team on track.

Kate: Tomorrow we'll ride out to the compound and see what we can dig up on the smuggling ring. Poppy: Eugh Horses. Kate: Horses aren't so bad. Poppy: Says the professional show jumper. Kate: Award winning professional show jumper. Poppy: 008 this is why people don't like you.

Kate: Hey people love me- I'm great at people. Poppy: You manipulate people into loving you in a professional capacity. Kate: And I'm good at it. So? Poppy: It's just- do you think we did a bad thing shoving those two together?

Kate: Nah- they're probably fingering each other upstairs right now. Poppy: Or V's trying to figure out if she can sleep in the bathtub. Kate: They obviously like each other! Just stick your tongues in each other so we can all move on. Really what's the big deal?

Poppy: I think my favorite thing about you is how much of a hopeless romantic you are. Kate: Some of us have more important things to worry about. Poppy: Like? Kate: Not getting smothered in the middle of the night by their teammate. Poppy: Fair point.

Poppy: She deserves good things. Kate: Then she needs to grow a spine. Now, get some sleep- 8AM call time tomorrow.

Poppy: If I sleep in are you going to beat me with your stick? Kate: Only if you ask nicely. Goodnight 009. Poppy: Goodnight.
