#the jeep metaphor is so unhinged i'm obsessed

Analyzing the Jeep Metaphor TM dialogue in Teen Wolf: The Movie:

“After my son left it behind” (after Stiles left Derek)

“Derek towed it in, thinking it was probably beyond repair.” (he still held onto his feelings, despite knowing their relationship couldn’t be salvaged)

“But then he opened up the hood and pulled off all the duct tape Stiles had stuck on it, and he managed to fix it.” (Derek unpacked the internalized homophobia that Stiles failed to confront)

“That Jeep, no matter what’s been done to it, it just keeps running.” (their love will always endure)

“Your dad had complicated feelings about that Jeep” (about Stiles)

“But it doesn’t mean it needs to be complicated for you.” (ally Sheriff Stilinski encouraging Derek’s son to be out and proud)
