*walks up to a podium in a university lecture hall* Peter Hale and Kate Argent are literally cut from the same cloth, yet the same stans who rightfully despite the latter love the former. Peter infecting Lydia with a fragment of his consciousness to flirt with and kiss her in his younger form and his pillow talk like demeanor in his burned form while talking to her and his whole "I'm the spark that lit your fire" line AAAAAAAAND him cornering a basically naked Scott in the showers at night to sink his claws into his neck are just as creepy and predatory as Kate

“It means he loves you…”

No, but why side with the Hales 🤔?

This has been a question I've had regarding why Teen Wolf fandom latched so onto the Hale family and perpetually painting them as the victims of the Argents.

I mean, if you're gonna ignore that a brown Latino, working class asthmatic boy is the lead and focus of the show named after him then why gravitate to the Hale family and not the Argent family?

They're just as wealthy, just as influential, just as ancient. Why all these posts about how Scott is stupid for not blindly following Derek or Peter when he could have also sought out Chris for guidance? Why such a plethora of fix it fics centering the narrative on the Hales and their return to glory when you could have it be about the Argent family vanquishing the murderous Peter who killed his own niece - his alpha - for power?

Ignoring how certain sectors of fandom's insistence that Teen Wolf should've been a show about two noble warring families is missing the entire point of the show for a minute.... why so much siding with the Hale family? What makes their pursuits any more valid or justified?

I had contemplated doing this post for awhile , because quite frankly I wasn't sure what I was trying to accomplish and even now I am not sure what my goal is. I just know that I don't want to scream into the void . I want to be heard.

Some of you might be aware of one of the most recent tw confession blogs . In one of their more recent posts a very interesting discussion occurred.

One of my mutuals pointed out a collection of fics that are labelled as "101 ways to kill Scott McCall". At first I didn't even notice this , because idk. Maybe I just glazed over it , however when more people began interacting with the publication I SAW IT and I just had to check for myself .

One of said fics is called "Kill-a-Character Bingo - Scott McCall" which is a fanfiction of 26 chapters in which Scott is killed in various grotesque and humiliating ways.This is one of the chapters:

Outside of feeling gross , disillusioned and honestly sick to my stomach , I was also beyond perplexed . It is one thing to dislike a character . To be so annoyed by them that you just want them gone by any means necessary . I can even understand killing them in your own fic as a "treat" . I can't say I am on board with that , but still I can put myself in your shoes...sort of. Writing a fanfiction in which your main focus is a character you loathe , on the other hand, is ...confusing to say the least.

I can already hear some of you saying "It is not like I wrote this" and you are right , but what about the people supporting it .

115+ people apparently consider this good , entertaining . Gave the "author" their silent encouragement to keep going .

To be fair this fic is from the end of 2023 so the kudos are not that much so let's look at their most recent work with the "Dead Scott McCall" tag -"Compare" which was written at the beginning of February 2024

Over 100 kudos in the span of 3 months . Not too shabby for ao3.How much is too much ? How much longer can you use the "just a few rotten apples" argument?

If you are wondering how Scott's life ends in this story , one of the readers was more than happy to inform us.

I am going to avoid name-calling ,okay. I know that realistically not all of you are like this (thank god). I just want to ask. Do you think this is healthy? Do you think that is a fulfilling way for someone to spend their free time? Are you going to be comfortable being near this person and their fans knowing this is one of their "hobbies"? I don't know about you , but I would definitely be keeping my distance.

Again, I have no clue what is the point of this . I don't want you to attack the user . They would most likely just double down on doing what they know best . Maybe some of you would understand why people from my side of the fandom are so willing to accuse you of certain things instead getting butthurt . Though that is most likely also asking for too much.

Allison POV companion piece to the Isaac piece I wrote before/another installment of the Scallisaac Polyamory Series WOO

Allison takes Scott in, then. And she—well, she sees.

She sees how his hand is still clenched around Isaac’s arm, thumb rubbing slowly back and forth like he’s barely even cognizant of it. She sees how his brows furrow and how he’s worrying his bottom lip between his teeth. She sees how his eyes have gone heavy, trained on Isaac’s profile, a renaissance painting even with the black burns up his neck and cheek—pain and regret mixed in with something oddly familiar Allison can’t place.

Allison isn’t entirely sure why she does it. On a whim, she asks, “Do you love him?”

—

Allison thinks about Isaac, Scott, love, and what it means to be brave.

Hi! Incoming Roman Archaeology rant!

Since the 19th century, people have wanted to see the Romans as the peak of civilisation who were extremely advanced in issues of urban hygiene, with their baths and sewers and aqueducts and such. (In fact, there are some very annoying engineers who despise archaeologists and who have hordes of followers who to this day insist on this point, but that's off the tangent).

The thing is, our current knowledge of Roman sewers, baths and latrines is showing (or can be convincingly interpreted as supporting the idea) that Roman urban infrastructure was not hygienic. It was hygienic within their Hippocratic world view of pollution and disease, but they would fail any and all modern examination, and we should not use them as our measuring stick to decide what is civilised and not.

Roman sewers were designed to flush water overflow away from cities, but they were mostly designed to be "storm drains", conduits to minimise rainwater and flood damage. Most Roman latrines flowed into cess pits rather than into the open sewers for several reasons: human faeces could be (and were) used as manure in fields and gardens. Latrines did not have systems to stop backflow in case of heavy rain. Most secondary sewers were not self-cleaning with fountain overflow.

About baths, we don't know how often pools were cleaned, but we know that they were hot, over used, that people went into the water sweaty and oily after cleaning themselves (the Romans had no soap), and while there might have been a constant inflow of clean water, it could not have been enough to stop the formation of "gloios", an oily, foamy substance that floated on the water and that was used in Antiquity as glue. Roman doctors advised ill people to go to the bath because that would help with their symptoms, but these were people who bathed with healthy bath-goers. The one exception was people with fresh wounds: they were forbidden to go to the baths because they risked getting literal gangrene.

There's plenty more to say about ringworms, parasites, constipation remedies, sponges-on-sticks, and bum-to-mouth cross-contamination, but I will spare some of these details.

Aks and you shall receive. Seriously though. Thank you, Rhys. You are the sweetest.

To give some grace to the sterek community, the comments under the stories in question are regulated so maybe the "writer" did receive some sort of pushback, but yeah.

They scream how we should push for self-expression, how it is just fiction and that if we don't like the story we should just ignore it although they have been obsessing for years over a story they did not like from the get-go.
