#jeff davis is an asshole

i'm not watching the tw movie because i can't do that to myself but i got a rundown of the plot and all i've got to say is:
tw:tm2:fix-it opens with a very pissed of Stiles Stillinski banging on Scott's door and punching him is his charming face as soon as he opens. He's back in town for Derek's funeral and his first order of business is to get into a massive fight about Scott's idea of morality and way of doing things "the right way" always getting the wrong people killed. The fight dies down only because there's a familiar sound coming up the drive way- Stiles' jeep. Eli's home. Violent confrontation becomes mad awkward.
Stiles say something like, seems every other asshole with a grudge can come back to life around here, so can Derek. He leaves and completely delves into research about resurrection. Montage or whatever until an alarm rings and the calendar notification reads it's time to get ready for the funeral.
Deaton is also there, and as unhelpful and cryptic as he is, he's also the most knowledgeable in magic, so Stiles grills him. We FUCKING FINALLY explore the whole spark thing that allows Stiles to do magic, as well as a throwback to the link with the Nemeton and their sacrificial deaths which will this time around be more helpful than harmful as it allows easier undetected passage in the realm of the dead.
That's right, baby, we're Orpheus and Eurydice'ing it.
Lydia, as a banshee with the strongest connection to the afterlife, plays an important role in guiding Stiles towards Derek and back again. They plot together and while Lydia is against the idea because it's very very stupidly dangerous, she can't let a good theoretic discussion slide. Also, Stiles is 100% doing this and his odds of success without her help are kind of shit.
His intention is to do another ice bath death, but before that her premonition of the car crash comes to fruition and Stiles dies for real. Lydia feels responsible because she let the thing she tries so hard to avoid happen anyway. It's not that big of a deal, though, since at this point they've got a plan to come back. Just sucks their plan to go there got a bit screwed.
Underworld shenanigans happen, lots of old enemies and allies rear their heads, and Stiles comes back with not just Derek Hale in tow, but the Hale pack. That's right folks, Erica and Boyd LIVE! And hell, while we're at it, might as well get the og pack aka Derek's entire family back lol. Or at the very least Laura. Have some bs magic rule about a soul's decade before reincarnation or something who cares it's teen wolf.
At the end of the movie there's bts footage of everyone lining up to kick jeff davis like that one WoW quest with the single npc that everyone has to murk.
Everybody lives/resurrects, stydia besties, sterek endgame, scott is a bad friend but recovers from that, kira is there even if she's just hanging out and arden cho is paid the most of all the cast

Teen Wolf movie spoilers
😤😤😤
🤮🤮🤮
😭😭😭
💔💔💔
👎👎👎
Well Jeff Davis can go fuck himself. Zero Stars.
The end.
(He let's that bitch Alison live and the asshole bully teacher, but kills the most popular character anyone still cares about. And to have him die by fucking FIRE, just like his family, IN FRONT OF HIS SON, leaving his son an orphan.... Why the fuck did Tyler agree to that?! There's no way Derek would put his son through that. He wouldn't want him to watch him die so horribly, without even saying a fucking word to him no less. He wouldn't leave him behind to be raised by other people.
Yes, I'm angry. Losing a beloved character is horrible, especially years after thinking the character was safe after the series ended. And to die so uselessly when any of the others could've taken his place.
This movie should never have happened, Derek wouldn't have died if they'd just left it alone. The plot was awful too, the prosthetic make up of wolves and the nogitsune was so obviously fake, the make up department used to be good but not anymore.)
I'm just going to ignore the movie ever happening, it didn't make any sense, the plot was so ridiculous. No Stiles, no explanation for Eli's existence. It's unlikely to get a sequel anyway, so we should all just consider this an alternative universe.

The funniest part of teen wolf was when chris argent was like “im going to adopt/kidnap my dead daughter’s 16 year old rebound boytoy and take him to france with me.” and then a few months later he comes back without said ex rebound boytoy and no one. ever says anything about it

okay so. now that ive taken some time to breathe, compose myself, and gather my thoughts, lemme lay out why the teen wolf movie was a hot holy mess (besides, you know, the obvious) as a teen wolf enthusiast and expert.
a lot of the characters were really little more than set dressing. to be specific, i think liam could have been replaced by a mailbox with a hat and the movie would have been the same (and this is coming from a major liam fan). the same can be said for mason, malia, melissa, peter, and honestly even the sheriff (which i hate bc god he was such a core of the show). i think parrish was only useful in one specific instance and even that isn't enough to warrant him being in the film. the characters i loved felt like cardboard cutouts and that wasnt fair to me, to the characters, or to the actors. i would have rather they not been there at all tbh. like just leave liam out of this if youre gonna do him like that fr
a lot of the plot points felt... disjointed and weird. saraid said it felt like three different movies in one and i have to agree. derek and eli felt like its own thing, then scott and allison, and then everything else (whatever the hell parrish and malia had going on, the lydia and jackson buddy cop comedy, liam in... japan with a ramen shop i think? and some random girlfriend that happened to be a kitsune) kind of fell to the wayside in between.
this movie was truly so flat without kira. it was hard to make a nogitsune movie without stiles, but it was almost impossible to make without her. hikari unfortunately ended up just feeling like a woman they randomly shoved into all the plot points kira was supposed to be in. because she didnt have a character besides liams girlfriend (and because liam was barely a character himself), she just couldn't compare and so kiras lack of presence was really felt. she left a huge hole in the narrative. they didnt even mention her and you knew what was missing. if you had cut khylin and dylan sprayberrys checks entirely, im sure they would have had enough to pay her as much as the rest of her white coworkers :) but that's just my opinion xxx
this was supposed to be for fans of the original series, but really just felt like jeff davis's weird rare pair fanfiction. instead of focusing on the dynamics that already existed - melissa and the sheriff, malia and peter, scott and liam, derek and. anyone really - he ended up delving into all these new dynamics with only two hours to develop them. malia and parrish (which. i really had to mentally run through the show to see if those two had interacted before and i dont think they have), liam and hikari, and derek and eli. all of which had a shot at being interesting but because there were so many different plots going on, it all just felt. awkward and confusing.
that being said, im gonna move onto derek and eli generally. i like eli! i do. i thought he was funny, i thought the actor was super charming (although the timeline made no sense because if he was born fifteen years ago And allison died fifteen years ago he would be braedens and. hate to say it folks. thats not braedens baby. make him mixed jeff davis you fucking coward). really, i liked him. ... but not at the expense of dereks character. the derek i knew was an asshole. he was mean, he was sarcastic, he was a bastard (honorifically). its not to say that people cant change, but... the derek i saw in the movie was a complete 180 from the derek we last saw in the series. honestly, the derek i saw in the series probably wouldn't have made a good parent - we saw how he was with erica, isaac, and boyd. even with scott. derek was kind of a dick. i dont even think he would have wanted kids - i think he would raise them out of duty, and i think he would if a partner wanted him to. but i dont think kids were ever in his life plan. and i think that could have been super interesting to see with him and eli. i think making him a parent could have been really interesting and it just. crumbled.
i know i mentioned the timeline in that last bit but. the timeline. it hurts my head. when was eli born. what year is it. how long has it been since scott has been in beacon hills. im so confused.
lets talk about adrian harris. shall we. i have made a list of people who i think would have been a better villain reveal are you ready: allison, peter, theo, chris argent, kate argent (resurrected), matt daehler (resurrected), victoria argent (resurrected), kira herself, danny mahealani, rafe mccall, isaac's shit dad, coach, greenberg, me with a baseball bat filled with rusty nails, jeff davis in a wig. the list goes on. you could not have picked a more random and less memorable character to reveal as your villain. i almost felt like i was being mocked. "haha! you didnt expect it to be this guy? the chemistry teacher who also died fifteen years ago? who had almost nothing to do with the plot until season 3? stupid! idiot!" i have never been so mad in my life
speaking of villain. did they forget what a nogitsune is. it needs a host. its not some guy they can stab to death. its a concept, a feeling, a parasite. its a manifestation of mental illness. but no sorry excuse me i must be wrong bc now its also a werewolf??????? im sorry. am i the crazy one. give me void allison! give me allison as the host and shes being taken over and she has those bags under her eyes and that creepy void stare and grin! give me crystal reed emmy noms! while we're on the subject, heres some more questions about the nogitsune include: why was it in a jar? why was it with LIAM of all people (who didnt even know what that was)? why did its powers completely change? HOW was it a werewolf????????? i cant stop thinking about it.
i said it once and ill say it again: jackson fucking carried this movie. he was giving all season one jackson, he was bringing comic relief, he was even bringing up ethan when no one else would! king! he carried. but he shouldn't have had to. dont get me wrong, i think crystal reed ate and left no crumbs. this was allisons movie and it should have been. but when the other two standout characters imo were jackson (who arguably did nothing) and coach (who did even less)... you simply didnt use your characters well. i think i would put deaton up there and even chris, but... scott and lydia? this should have been their movie. but scott spent nearly the whole movie ignoring his friends, and lydia was reduced to 'woman whose plot was about a man,' again. it was horrible. lydia outgrew that song and dance by season two. and scott? hasnt been to beacon hills in twelve years? hasnt seen his mom or his friends? not the scott mccall i know.
this is not about shipping discourse this post will never be about shipping discourse so i say this as a completely objective party. that being said. st/dia was so strangely shoved in there at the end. how did harris even know about lydia leaving stiles. how did he know about her dream. how did it add to the plot. like yes the nogitsune feeds of chaos and strife but i think lydia was getting enough of that watching her friends get murdered. it felt like a weird way to explain why dob wasnt there and it simply didnt work. i would have rather they not said anything about stiles at all.
anyway, this is skipping over a lot of other little things that i thought were really bad (sexualizing malia who literally had the mentality of an eight year old for most of her life AGAIN, why was mason a fucking cop, peters lack of interaction with the hale family which is what made him interesting in the first place, the absolute insanity of allison coming back to life and just being absolutely okay even though shes been dead for fifteen years, died at the hands of her friend, and almost everyone she knew including stiles, isaac, and kira are all just gone now), but boy oh boy. for a while it was funny bad. like "oh this is bad but i can still enjoy this for what it is" bad. but those last ten minutes. what is actually absolutely wrong with jeff davis. there are very few times ive felt this betrayed by tv shows i held this close to my heart, but im there. im heartbroken. i wont go on about it here, bc honestly, it would need its own post considering how much i have to say. but if the rest of the movie was bad? that was shit was traumatizing.
anyway. so sorry this post is this long, and so sorry i couldnt come back with a positive review. this show died long ago; i think we should have just let it rest - nobody asked for a reunion, and now i can see that was with good reason. so the next time jeff davis opens up an email with a header titled 'sequel idea' and he ccs tyler posey, i think we should all just agree to ler arden cho beat him to death in a dennys parking lot instead.

Jeff Davis had the nerves to talk like this about Sterek and Derek’s feeling…
Tumblr media
“the complicated feelings are that Derek had great feelings toward Stiles but Stiles also caused a lot of trouble in his life. Every great relationship has those complications.”
Wtf is he talking about??? Stiles never cause any trouble in Derek’s life. He always tried to help him. Stiles was his anchor in 3B when Kate was after him.
The only thing that makes sense is if Derek feelings were complicated due to the age differences especially when you think about the age differences with Derek and Kate. And look how that relationship panned out… then when Stiles becomes an adult he moves to DC and Derek ends up a single dad moving back to beacon hills. Things get complicated…
Jeff is clearly pandering to Sterek without being explicit because he’s an asshole and wants to keep his options open. So he made Sterek one sided, in hope Dylan returns for the sequel. Knowing Jeff, Stiles will have “complicated feelings” for Derek but settle down with Lydi@.

Chris's arc is actually one of my favorite in teen wolf his neutrality against his own family is what caused a literal genocide, then caused him to lose his wife (she could have lived!!!), and then another attempt at a genocide, and he was like enough is enough, I'm going to help those who are oppressed.
And of course, losing Allison.
Actually this might be very fucked up to admit, there is this ideal that basically means as you sow, so shall you reap, but wilder. That if you try to wipe out an enemy not In an actual battle, you'll lose everything. And that's what happens to the argents. They attempt genocide THRICE, but in the end they are the ones who are endangered with no future generations.
But ya! I love Chris's arc, his acceptance and guilt over Derek, his desire to keep the kids safe no matter what, and his hate for the old asshole lol.
JR Bourne was doing God's Work and he was a huge part of why so many of us found Chris Argent compelling and why he lasted in the narrative as long as he did.
Though Allison's death largely pissed me off for out of universe reasons it also had accidentally allowed the show to do something legitimately interesting seeing as she'd been the lead female character for three seasons and the main character's love interest. Her death rippled through the narrative and she haunted the narrative until the very end.
I think Allison should've remained dead and Jeff Davis has a real issue letting characters die. Her coming back undoes one of the more compelling things Teen Wolf was ever brave enough to do and also there's the weirdness around her age and the whole Eli thing.
But I really do enjoy Chris as a character even if he's like not a good person. That's okay. More people need to remember it's okay to love characters that aren't like morally flawless.
I like that Chris Argent's punishment for his inaction, apathy and also his own participation in the cruelty of his family leads to him being alone to reflect and try to atone for those sins. What a burden, what angst, what tragedy. It's delicious.

You’re seriously defending fuckboyregulus…
yes i am and i will happily continue to ☺️ but for you to know that you either are still following ollie or you saw my comment on a random tiktok and decided to find my tumblr 🤔
so let’s talk about this bestie
you decide what media you consume. ollie very clearly tags their fics if people don’t want to read them because they can’t be arsed that’s on them not ollie. ollie isn’t every child on the internet’s parent.
most of the media people consume is written by adults. your favourite ya book? written by an adult. your favourite show? written by an adult.
the fact that people are bringing their kids into it is absolutely disgusting. people saying they feel bad for ollie’s kids?! ollie is an amazing parent and actually a pretty great person if you actually speak to them. but instead you lot are deciding to spread rumours.
if people are what they write about is jeff davis a serial killer for making criminal minds? or maybe a werewolf for teen wolf? no because that’s ridiculous. or colleen hoover has she fatally injured a child like she wrote in verity? no? so why isn’t it the same for fic writers?
there are so many published books that count as taboo and people go mad over them all excited but as soon as it's a fanFICTION where people explore their kinks and teen pregnancy happens, which i hate to break it to everyone happens a lot, people are suddenly mad. a lot of teens find their kinks and have sex while being teens. guess what..actual real humans teenagers having sex happens but that’s not what ollie was writing about so stop making it sound like it you fucking weirdos. they were writing about two fictional characters not josh and brad who live down the road and help your nan bring in her shopping.
summary: you lovely people absolute dickheads have seriously fucked with ollie’s mental health, and they’ve deleted all of their fics you assholes made ollie take hugo away and he was my baby 🥺 ols i’m joking you need to do what’s best for you i will always support ollie, the people being arseholes to them should give a cactus a blowy, stop with the transphobia, stop with the death threats and get offline and go and touch some fucking grass for fuck sake
@fuckboyregulus i hope you don’t mind me putting in my two pence i will happily take this down if you want me to 💛

‘Wolf Pack’ Impressions (Ep. 5-8)
1x05 - “Incendiary“
Tumblr media
Sarah Michelle Gellar and Armani Jackson are easily the best part of this series
Ramsey is a duplicitous cop with a personal agenda connected to the werewolf murders, and the confidence in this narrative reveal is superbly supported by Gellar’s steady performance.
Everett started out like a walking ‘anxiety (get nervous)’ kind of character in the same way Scott was your prototypical ‘kid with asthma on TV’, but has otherwise not been pigeon-held in a quagmire characterization where his kindness disallows him from defending himself from assholes (Harlan, Austin, his mother) or assholes experiencing no consequences for their fuckery (see: Scott’s every interaction with discount Logan Lerman).
Additionally, his connection to the werewolf killing people is not in the least overshadowed Harlan and Luna’s bio-family drama. His status as a forced-werewolf has allowed him to become what he considers his ideal self and I’m here for it, honestly. Scare the shit out of your bullies.
Garrett really isn’t contributing anything to the current trajectory of the plot besides some nice UST between himself and Ramsey. He is, at the moment, a distraction (like he considered himself in Harlan’s flashback).
Harlan actually becoming proactive in the narrative and contributing to an episode something other than self-involved anger? Say it ain’t so.
This series seems to want to depict teenagers authentically, but lapses right into tried and true trope(s) of ‘unsupervised parties’ and ‘teenagers have easy access to drugs to the point of being pushers themselves’.
Luna’s subplot with Austin feels more necessitated by plot than anything they’ve got going story-wise, so not terribly unfamiliar territory in the box of ‘Jeff Davis can’t do teen romance’.
However lukewarm I am on Everett and Blake’s romance, it at least feels companionable vs. Luna and Austin’s “oh, hey, you drew pictures of me, so clearly you like me!” mess.
I like Prisha. I hope we see more of her next season.
1x06 - “After Party“
Balthier’s (Gideon Emery) appearance was a nice throwback (and definitely less hammy), especially working as a springboard for Ramsey’s story.
Ramsey as the avenging werewolf mother who goes into law enforcement to track arsonists is certainly a narrative I’m here for, and a large part of the reason why I was never interested in dismissing the arsonist storyline continuing on in the background without the teens.
By and large, the story becoming more motivated by Ramsey’s desire to find her son, protect him from [the] harm (of others), at the same time protect him from the authorities is just *chef’s kiss*. I love this monster woman, she is precious to me in all her violence and underhandedness.
Everett being handed the name of the murderous werewolf feels lazy as hell. Yet it does very little to my general enjoyment to how Everett remains at the center of unraveling the red herring of a ‘teen arsonist' plot.
Ultimately the best thing to come out of the reveal that the weird kid at the pool party was the werewolf projecting into Everett’s mind was the use of sound and visuals with the dead mean girl (Phoebe) to alert him about the next victim (Austin).
And, yeah, I was kinda sad about Phoebe’s death. Especially after that dead-straight heart-to-heart they had about Blake’s mother’s infidelity, and why she cut everyone out of her life. She was a jerk, but was also intercommunicating her pain in a similar way as Blake. Let this girl have friends, please!
1x07 - “Lion’s Breath” / 1x08 - “Trophic Cascade”
Tumblr media
There are elements to Everett’s narrative (and the idea of lycanthropy being a cure-all for all disabilities or even autism) that hits a decidedly sour (abelist, anti-medication) note. I like the idea of it boosting your confidence, or even changing your perspective on the world (since the person has become an uber predator). But altering things that are often a case of nature or nurture, not so much.
That said, the Everett’s growing steadiness and unwillingness to give his parents emotional neglect and dismissal any more room in his life is incredibly thrilling.
That scene with his mother (”You should be nicer to me”) fucking rips. But it's also what makes part of the finale so bitter. Everett’s mother really white-woman-in-distressed her son, and her exaggeration of events really got his Black ass, swirl-silly father to try and get him confined. Fuck. Everett’s. Mom. I hope Ramsey eats her.
Luna’s loss of faith in her family and friends is a far more interesting note in her stakes than Austin (who promptly disappears from the plot), and a nice reversal of her role as the believer and her brother as the inward-looking jerkass. She neither trusts her father or her brother.
Ramsey’s agenda regarding her lost children, particularly the undercurrent of discomfort from the reveal that she’s known where they were for some time, is something I’m looking forward to see play out in the next season. She doesn’t appear to be angling to nix Garrett but at the same time she’s making it very clear (to the audience) that she won’t be separated from them again.
Even as the arsonist (lmao, what a wet flop of a reveal), driving her son out of hiding (and harming him, losing his trust), she’s gone out of her way to protect the new members of her pack. And the reasons feel like an illustration of how she views who’s worth saving and protecting vs. who isn’t. It’s not altruistic, but I wouldn’t call it intentionally malicious either. She’s a wolf, and she uses her ‘humanity’ so to speak in a way that will benefit the wolves. Again, I’m here for it.
The Malcolm reveal was pretty weak, all things considered. There was no build up, and they literally have the guy spelling it out to the audience.
How did he know she was the wolf from seventeen years ago that murked his crew? How did he know Baron was her son? Why was he not a bigger character in the story if he was going to be that important to the finale?
Ramsey turning out not to be the mysterious caller was a relief and a frustration. But I’m also expecting this to belly flop should it ever get a proper reveal.
Basically, this was like any finale of Teen Wolf. Rushed to hell and back.
Could’ve done without the grim-dark trailer rendition of “Can’t Fight the Moonlight”.
My overall (first) impressions of Paramount+’s Wolf Pack first season is that it’s Teen Wolf if Teen Wolf was written more a little more competently, and Jeff Davis’ preoccupation with white boys didn’t (or wasn’t allowed to) push the protagonist (Armani Jackson’s Everett) into the margins like he did with Tyler Posey’s Scott McCall.
The super-hero-fication of werewolves ah-la HEROES (everyone gets a special ability!) is kinda eye roll-inducing, but I can deal with it.
But, if Ramsey was going to be the fire-starter all along, then the story honestly should’ve been tailored to that instead of telling and not showing that part of the story in favor of a whodunit that basically went nowhere like the Kamina plot. It seems like an ass-pull to intentionally make her the antagonist when there were better and stronger elements in her character that qualify her for that.
Part of me wants to accredit a lot of the show’s success to Sarah Michelle Gellar’s skill as both an actor and an executive producer.
Please, do not kill her character off.

Well dont be so sure. On The100 the big ship was bellarke fans screamed for that ship for all 7 seasons, they hinted or rather deceived the fans and never made them become canon. Actors in real life are together for real, we won anyway lol but authors can be assholes
Oh I'm familiar 😭. I was in the bellarke fandom since day one.
Jason Rothenberg was combative with the fandom for the majority of the shows run. It was very obvious that he had ego issues and liked to spite the fans. I've never seen anything from the Pates that is remotely similar to the way Jason treated fandom. They seem open to creating a story that would please fans and also consider input from the actors as well. They don't always get it right (jarah can be a hot mess) but I just really don't believe there is any deception here. After 3 seasons I feel like we have pretty good handle on how the writers approach these characters and their relationships and I can't see them backing away from jiara now after committing so much time to it. If they were going to do that, S3 would not be what it was.
There are three show runners I don't fuck with: Rotherberg, Jeff Davis (Teen Wolf), and Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars) and the Pates are a breath of fresh air after those monsters.

Is calling Allison Argent “anything with a pulse” not being used in a misogynist context? / You tell me, Pew. Is calling and reducing Allison Argent to "Scott's dead white girlfriend" not misogynist? You are the one who used those words after all
Tumblr media
I would usually put something like this in the trash bin, but you brought up something that I want to talk about: context.
I did say the words "Scott's dead white girlfriend" because I was expressing my displeasure with the show's writing in Apotheosis (5x20). In it, for those who might not know, Scott is fighting with The Beast, Sebastien Valet, who by sheer coincidence (something else that displeased me) shoves his claws into the back of Scott's neck, thereby seeing images of Scott's memories of Allison.
I would argue that describing Allison in Apotheosis as "Scott's dead white girlfriend" is not misogynist because, at the time, she was actually dead, she has always been white, and the memories in which she was appearing were flashbacks to romantic and emotional scenes between them. So yes, I did describe Scott's dead white girlfriend as "Scott's dead white girlfriend."
But why did I do it? Why was I disappointed by Allison's appearance in Apotheosis? Well, that's something I feel is worth talking about.
Contrary to some people's opinions, I've never been shy about talking about how the writers of Teen Wolf fed into fandom and Hollywood racism by establishing repeatedly that Scott, to be a hero, can never act in behalf of his own emotions, but must overcome adversity and pain only to be in service to others. Don't get me wrong, it's a noble characteristic, and one that makes me like Scott, but it became racist when the production veered, as it so often did, into making it mandatory, in a way they never did for any other especially white character. It seemed to me that in Season 5, the writers had characters forget that Scott didn't seek to become a werewolf, he didn't seek to become an alpha, and so had his own mother give him a speech in Status Asthmaticus (5x10) in which she told him, essentially, that he had to let people abuse him in order to be a good leader. In a similar vein, The writers had Mason say that Scott had to forgive Liam in Damnatio Memoriae (5x12). Fighting to preserve the lives that would be lost to La Bête du Gévaudan isn't enough, Scott has to let people like Stiles and Malia and Liam hurt him and the Beast himself violate him to justify his own survival.
DEAD. In keeping with that injustice, the violation of Scott's memories in Apotheosis is portrayed as a triumph. It's just another thing that Scott has to sacrifice to save people, and the writers were very eager to portray this as necessary. "Allison saved him," Stiles tells Lydia, but the truth is -- Allison is dead (at that point). She didn't save shit. Scott isn't dead, but the writers hardly care. How does Scott feel about another serial killer rooting around in his head? We'll never know. The writers put the consequences of that into Things That Are Unnecessary, such as Mason's reaction to being the host for Valet.
WHITE. We all know how hard Kira got screwed as a character in Season 5B. We know that scenes elaborating on Kira's time in the desert was cut, and the way that she was written out was flaming hot garbage, to be compounded later by the "her story was finished" crap of Season 6. Contrary to the Asshole Anon's rantings, I do pay attention to the way the production treated Kira and Arden Cho, and while I also know that Jeff Davis placed special narrative importance on Scott and Allison's relationship, the execution of Kira and Scott's relationship in 5B (especially the Cheap-Ass Green Screen scene) managed to damage the relationship for the audience in a totally unnecessary way, compounded by the fact that after 5x20, Scott never mentioned Kira again.
So yes, I was critical of how they employed Allison in Apotheosis, and I said so. If they wanted to show how powerful Scott's love for others and willingness to sacrifice they could have spent more time on how that affected Scott. The dynamics of Scott saying goodbye to Kira at Shiprock and then very next scene having him wordlessly focus on Allison (instead of letting Stiles tell Lydia about it, it should have been Scott) are just terrible. I don't think that describing how the production messed up is misogynist at all.
Indeed, one of the things I loved most about the movie is that there wasn't a hint of Scott having to justify his survival in how he treats other people, especially in how he treats Allison.

Fic ask for the akuze fic 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 pretty please? :D
Sure. I haven't worked on it much lately but let's see what I can do.
Give a 5-word summary of this chapter/fic.
Joker helps Shepard post-Akuze.
2. Give the first line of this chapter/fic.
As Aurora Shepard pulled the shirt over her head, her eyes were drawn to the scars trailing down her back.
7. What is your favorite scene you’ve written so far?
The scene where Joker comes outside in the middle of the night to sit with Shepard since she can't sleep. He makes some stupid joke to get a smile out of her and it's so sweet to see how much his cares for her.
8. What is the last scene you’ve written?
The same scene as above. That was where I'd left off last time.
9. What is your favorite dialogue you’ve written so far?
He bumped her good arm with his shoulder, soft enough that she barely moved but the touch was welcome, comforting… she didn’t realize how much she missed their easy comradery. “Come on. Spilling your guts to me won’t result in being discharged from the Navy.” “I’m a Marine, Jeff.”  “Hey, it’s all run by the same assholes. Just humor me. The amount of people onboard the SSV Benjamin Davis that have no sense of humor… it’s an epidemic, Aurora.”  “My mother commands that ship.” She said with a laugh. The sound was almost foreign to her ears, but the smile stayed. He grinned at her in triumph. “I know.”

Okey my turn 🤣
Jeff Davis is asshole. Stiles is HUMAN. Ok. You human might be have magic. He is spark right? He did magical think. He feel dangerous people (like theo) his instinct is nonhuman. He is strong but Jeff didnt said why he could swam with derek for two hours!
And Nementon was really connected with Stiles right? Like he was protector the damn tree.
And Nogitsune didnt want Stiles death. When he yell " shout me" he want pain stiles dad and chaos.
Sometimes Stiles was like fox for me. Maybe this was the reason Nogitsune choose him?
Or I am wrong?
I get the appeal of having people stay human, but Stiles had so much potential! And just seeing it all be wasted... it's painful. Especially after the nogitsune, it would have been super fun to see Stiles having new powers because of the body the nogitsune created.
But sadly, it's Jeff Davis, and the dude doesn't see potential if it smacked him in the face. Good thing, there are a lot of fanfictions out there that are so much better than canon.

I have yet to see you speaking up about the racist way Tyler Posey and Jeff Davis treated Arden Cho in favor of those Teen Wolf Movie money they desperately needed to pay their bills. I thought you were all for calling racism out, but apparently you are more interested in trying to ignore/excuse Posey's jealousy and repetitive shitty behavior than exposing him and Jeff for what they did to Arden
Ok first of all I don't know why you expect me to know about everything tyler has done. secondly why couldn't you just tell me that he had some responsibility about not paying arden what she's worth?
Like yes I expect Jeff davis to be a racist asshole but I'm not exactly omnipotent. I can't be everywhere at once. I certainly can't know the ins and outs of the deals that went down for the tw movie.
Lastly, I've been promoting the shit out of arden's new show on here. I haven't been asking anyone to watch the tw movie.
Like coming for me for not knowing something is not a good look. not to mention especially when i'm doing the best I can to promote the Partner Track because I love arden so much.
calm the fuck down and fix your tone.

Surprisingly, the Teen Wolf movie was good. Scott McCall was still the good guy I loved. Crystal Reed played the hell out of Allison. Peter Hale is still an ass that I don’t fully understand why we hang around. Kira was missed. Big time. I wish Jeff Davis would have fought to get her paid more. I honestly don’t think he cared about her, which sucks cause Arden’s character would have played a huge role in this movie. Stiles was mentioned and I understand why Lydia broke up with him, which I liked. But I wish they would have mentioned where he was. Malia and Parrish??? Wtf. Eli was a cutie. He could have easily been biracial so Braden could have been his mom, though. Jackson was the same without being an asshole which I enjoyed. My biggest issue: Derek Hale dying. Why? What was the reason? It’s giving Stefan Salvatore dying in TVD all over again. Did he really have to hold the nogitsune down for him to be killed? I was too busy crying to notice his eyes turning red, so maybe there’s hope.

Submission by Anon: 
Scott conspired with Gerard Argent behind everyone’s back, told Gerard that Matt was the Kanima’s master (thus selling Matt and Jackson out to Gerard), and then tried – but failed – to murder Gerard using Derek’s body against his will. And Derek was never allowed to hold Scott accountable by Jeff Davis; just like Isaac was never allowed to react when Scott acted like a jealous asshole and repeatedly hit him because Isaac liked Allison, his ex girlfriend. Not to mention that Scott had zero problem working with Deucalion (who murdered Boyd, Erica and a shit tons of other people for power) to kill Josh and Tracy, just because it benefitted him. So Scott acting all morally superior and victim blaming Stiles for killing Donovan – a murderous wendigo who assaulted and actively tried to eat Stiles alive – in self defense is hypocrisy 101 and only proves Scott’s double standards. Not to mention that Stiles was the victim of Donovan’s brutal assault and of Theo’s blackmail: he’s not obligated to share his own traumas with Scott like Scott wanted and demanded. So Stiles choosing not to tell Scott about Donovan is both understandable and worthy of empathy. 
Just because Scott is a “true alpha”  it doesn’t mean that his friends have to obey him or let him condemn them for something they didn’t even do and that was not their fault. Scott chose to think Stiles was a cold blooded monster and serial killer based on his own prejudice and on Theo’s words alone; Scott fell for Theo’s cheap lies since the very beginning and let Theo fool him; Theo played Scott like a kazoo; Scott flat out lied to Kira’s face about her fox spirit. That’s Scott’s fault, not Stiles’ nor anyone else’s. Scott’s own actions and words proved Stiles and Theo right in the end, that’s why he had to beg his friends to give him another chance (even though Jeff Davis didn’t make Scott work all that hard to get them back to be honest. He just made them accept Scott back because Scott needs them.) 
Teen Wolf is an ensemble show. Stiles, Lydia, Allison, Derek and Kira are all lead and main characters in the series – Season 3B is entirely focused on Stiles and Void Stiles with Dylan O'Brien at its front and center, and it’s the highest rated and most critically acclaimed season of Teen Wolf. Their feelings and traumas are just as important as Scott’s. But some people (aka rabid Scott stans & apologists) keep acting like they aren’t and as if Scott’s butthurt is the only thing that matters for some reason – stooping as low as to blame other characters (mostly Stiles and Derek, the characters Scott/Posey stans have an obsessive hate boner for) for Scott’s own canon failures and shitty behaviour

In response to the above submission sent to me: You could’ve just messaged me. This submission feels as if you’re (… for lack of a better word) attacking me for already being on your side with the fact that due to the writing Scott is painted as if he’s got the highest moral point. I have at no point ever said that Scott was completely infallible because of his “True Alpha” status. I have however said that a lot of his trauma gets dismissed often and I think it’s something that should be spoken about. Scott can be both True Alpha and have Trauma that needs to be discussed.
If you’d like to speak about Scott and the bad writing of the show and how that way trauma, justice/injustice and morality is handled in the show, I am open to the discussion. You will not however act as if I have implied or stated that Scott was allowed to do whatever the fuck he wanted because he was a true Alpha. I have openly stated that his actions about the shit Theo told him and then his reaction to Stiles after the Donavon situation was a dick move and complete bullshit.
And Dear writer, I’ll call you D, if you don’t mind; if you’re going to submit something to someone without speaking to them prior, you might want to make sure your email isn’t attached to your ‘anonymous" submission because I now have your email address and know you like BTS. Please be safe on the internet. So to the person who submitted this, Please contact me to discuss this show. Otherwise, Don’t submit things without logging out first. If you’d like me to delete this submission, please contact me. Thank you.
