SCOTT APPRECIATION WEEK (DAY 2) → FAVORITE FRIENDSHIP/NEMESIS
nemesis is absolutely a stretch for derek, but he was an antagonist in both seasons 1 and 2, and scott’s first enemy-turned-ally. derek, as a teenager, is shown to be what the scott we’re first introduced to wants to be; athletic, popular, in love. derek, as the adult we’re first introduced to do, is a version of scott that everything has gone wrong for. through earning trust and developing faith in each other, both characters are rewarded; derek rebuilds his personhood and scott grows into his werewolfhood.
