you know what’s interesting to me about shelby’s pov (one of many things that is) is that from her perspective, pyro’s behavior looks almost, like, intentional. you know. the vampires gone woke bit IS very funny but it’s also a crucial bit of foreshadowing i think because scott’s making fun of pyro for calling him sire in front of shelby. and the thing is that pyro knows scott is commanding that respect and subservience from him. scott knows that too. shelby doesn’t know that. so to her, pyro is calling scott a corny cliche vampire title, scott is teasing him, and pyro makes a little quip about it. shelby definitely had a willful ignorance problem but it was also a concentrated effort from scott to hide his wrongdoings from her, because he liked her and wanted her to stay. like you can say what you will about her actions later on but in this scene i genuinely believe the only reasonable assumption she could have made there was “my weird friends are making fun of each other”. and it sets the tone for the way shelby turns a blind eye to pyro’s suffering — the teasing came from something silly that he did, so that must be the basis of pyro and scott’s relationship; subconsciously she believes it must be something pyro has done to make scott tease and poke at him rather than scott’s individual choice to torment him.

Something something Will being a quip-ready lighthearted curious comic book character that doesn't fit in the grimdark horror setting of his childhood town something something and it changes him and morphs him into a scared nihilistic teenager that gets thrown into a quipy comic book story about bravery, hope, and, heroism and he doesn't fit there either something something....
