Edward should have been the one to nearly attack bella in new moon.

Jasper attacking her does make sense, as he has not only had the least amount of time as a vegetarian vampire but I personally think because of his gift he's also feeling all the other vampires desire to drink human blood on top of his own.

But, Edward has such good self control around Bella, you say. He even managed to stop drinking her blood, why would he attack her? you cry.

Well, in this au, in the weeks leading up to Bellas birthday, something nearly happens to her, like a near death experience. She isn't hurt, as naturally edward is there to save her, but Overthinker Edward, convinces himself had he not been around she would have died and decides he must stay with her even more closely than usual. But this means skipping hunting and he thinks this will be tolerable... but on the day of her party, he hasn't fed in weeks so when she cuts herself....

Suddenly there is no careful, protective edward (was there ever?) , there is only a starving inhuman creature ready to slaughter a defenseless terrified girl.

(At least that's how emo eddy thinks of the incident.)

And of course it's doubly dangerous because jasper still loses control so there are TWO vampires trying to snack on her and two are much harder to restrain.

Edward now has the final proof he needs to decide he is truly a soulless monster that should stay away from Bella at any cost, and Bella is still heartbroken by his leaving but at the same time, it's like her bubble has popped. Because she was genuinely so convinced edward would never lose control, or hurt her. Her nightmares are now about edward hurting her. And even if she forgives him, it would always be a thought lurking in the back of her mind wondering if he might snap again. Later on it causes her deep anxiety about being a vampire and meeting charlie again - what if she attacks him the same way?

Bella SHOULD have attacked that hiker as a new vamp. She kills him, Edward is unable to stop her, and by the time he catches up her satin dress is saturated in the blood of an innocent man. I get Meyer wanted Bella to be Not Like Other Vampire Girls so thats why she wrote her with perfect control, but it just makes no sense. Bella with brilliant self control could work but only after that, because she is so traumatised by that murder that from then on she finds the strength to resist human blood from fear of being a monster, like Carlisle.

If I ever catch one of yall doing this to another author and I know youre a follower of my work I will block you personally on every platform

None of yall are the fic police. I DESPISE genai. I think its an insult to art, humanity, and the planet itself. But aint not a single fucking person here qualified to pick apart a strangers fic looking for a gotcha moment to make yourselves feel superior. If you think something is ai you can ask the author (most are proud of the ai use and will just tell you straight up) if they say yes you have your answer and can warn people. If they say no and you dont believe them you block and quietly keep it between you and maybe a close group of friends. Spreading misinformation is DANGEROUS. And NONE of you doing this shit are anywhere near qualified to do it.

You dont get to witch hunt and scour peoples work just frothing at the mouth hoping someone messes up so you can publicly humiliate and gang up on them. Fuck genai and every single poser and lover that uses it but if you are not 1000000000% certain that something is made with it you shut. the. fuck. up.

"hurr durr these very common writing practices are SUPER OBVIOUS AI TELLS!!!!!!!!!! obviously this is an AI invention and not the result of AI being trained on THOUSANDS OF REAL FUCKING STORIES!!!!!!! we're all very intelligent!!!!!!!"

I hate yall. I hate yall for fucking ruining fanfic with your goddamn motherfucking AI obsession. "ooh there's em dashes!" YEAH REAL WRITERS USE THOSE. "there's long paragraphs!" YEAH BECAUSE THATS HOW PEOPLE WRITE STORIES.

we're not "writing like AI" - AI is writing like us, because it fucking stole from us in the first fucking place.

I've never used AI in my work, not ever, but guess what, my fics are ALL written like that. long paragraphs, long sentences, em dashes and hyphens and other grammatical tools, because I fucking know HOW TO WRITE.

- more puppy pack was A NEED in general

HOW DO WE THINK SHE WOULD HAVE KILLED THESE GUYS IF NOT FOR THE NUCLEAR OPTION??????

no really. i want to know what do people think she would have killed five alphas with no one interested or able to help her? the gang didn't kill ennis, deucalion did. homie was gonna make a full recovering until deucalion killed him (and likely stole his power when he did, making himself like x10 more powerful or some shit bc ofc). kali almost killed derek like TWICE. the whole cast was BODIED by the HENCHMEN of this pack who are all FINAL BOSSES in their own rights.

so okay in a show that's trying to play at being morally gray, that has horror elements deeply rooted into its dna, how is she gonna do this? what clever scheme is gonna take out the werewolf hulk and his gang of psychopaths?

like we do not need to be so hand wringing about this. for one it's fiction, i'm not going to assume you think killing innocent people is cool irl if you aren't actively condemning her it's FINE. but also just-- which moral philosophy are we going by? deontology? utilitarianism? virtue ethics? social contract theory? you cannot just say something is "right" or "wrong" in a context like this. which is more wrong? to have about 9-12 people die for the finite cause of bringing justice to a mass murderer or to let a man who killed at minimum 10-20 people himself then got 4 more people to do the same and has stated he will keep killing until he gets what he wants to go free? how do you really want to quantify that? who's lives are more important to you? what do you consider justice? who is worthy of being given justice or treated as a victim? who's lives and loss should we ignore? do we only ever focus on the immediate and leave cold cases cold? is there an expiration date on a victim's plight?

some moral philosophies would side with jennifer, others won't. who are we listening to because there's no one universal concept of morality. if there was we wouldn't have so many damn moral philosophies and nerds who talk about this shit for a living.

jennifer even touches on the fucking definition of a sacrifice. this is not something she really wants to do but feels it is the only way to stop people she feels are utterly evil and seeing as how you know, they murdered their entire packs, she has a point! this is a thing that gets touched on a lot in the show but then somehow or another gets skirted around or dishonestly reversed uno'd -- the idea that sometimes we don't get good choices. sometimes the decision is between food or medicine that month. sometimes life puts you in a saw trap. sometimes your choices are fucking horrible and you will have to do something unforgiveable to try and stop someone who is worse or to just survive. and they never really handle it well imo, they muddy the set up and fall flat on the dismounts most of the time.

let's be very clear here, jennifer was as much a sacrifice as the rest of them were. she gave up what innocence and goodness she had left to become the monster needed to stop a pack of monsters. whatever kali didn't destroy inside her jennifer sacrificed on the altar of revenge (which IS a kind justice, revenge is not inherently bad in the world of narrative, especially when we're going old school which we ARE since we're bringing up lycaon, druids, loki, etc). she had figured out a way to look normal again, she could have tried to live a normal life-- and maybe she did for a while! but she gave all that up to pursue something that she probably knew would destroy her because the unfairness of it all was simply too great.

remember these are not people who will ever be brought to proper justice. there is no human prison that could hold them, no one strong enough to arrest them, no court that we know of who could try them. the minute someone mentions werewolves this case is being thrown out. there just simply is no other recourse for this but to pay evil unto evil and fucking kill them by any means necessary because they will keep killing. we SEE them kill! Erica and Boyd are DEAD because of the alpha pack! they have killed before, are killing now, will kill into the future until stopped and there is no law that contains them. what else can we do to stop them?

(So this got kinda long. I did not realise I was this passionate about his character until I started writing, so buckle in)

The Teen Wolf writers fumbled hard with Boyd- he was such an underdeveloped character. We knew nothing about why he wanted to join Derek's pack other than that he didn't want to be friendless- which compared to Erica, who had a serious disability she was bullied for, and Isaac, who had an abusive asshole for a father, really isn't that big of a deal. They never explain why he's any different from the hundreds of other friendless high schoolers.

He also never gets the chance to really have an important part in any scene. Isaac and Erica had the lab scene where they tried to poison Lydia. They went to kill Lydia at school, at then at Scott's house. They tried to poison Jackson at the rave. He did do most of the talking when Erica and him were running away though, so good for him. But mostly he was just standing behind Derek as backup. I only remember three 1-on-1 scenes of him with Scott/Stiles.

(I can't find a gif of the ice rink scene cause that's how little this fandom talks about Boyd and Scott when it's unrelated to their favs. I also did not even remember that last scene until I saw a post of some idiot bashing Boyd for saying that he's not Stiles's friend after Stiles "spent the entire summer looking for him unlike Scott". Which. Wow the delusion.)

In Frayed he actually almost initiated a fight by almost attacking Ethan in the bus over Derek and Erica's death. But then who actually does it? Isaac! (I love that because ahhh scisaac obviously, but could they not have included something else for Boyd too?)

Motel California is by far the most in depth ep he got. We finally learnt about his sister and the guilt he feels for not saving her. I have no idea why they left that information out for over a full season (they definitely did not make it up just to give Boyd a reason for a suicide attempt despite the fact that Erica was already dead and they really should've focused on his grief over that more because she was his only friend and also because literally no one mourned her for more than 5 seconds) but whatever! He has a backstory now! Next episode-

He dies. Mfg.

(And they made it about Derek, and added a sprinking of Stiles too even though it would've made so much more sense to have Cora comfort her brother since they've been tense since their reuinion and they needed a bonding moment, but I'm glad she was crying over Boyd's body though because someone needed to do it)

And ok. Fine. Teen Wolf has a LOT of underdeveloped characters. Especially when they're women/poc. This is what fanfic is for. Let's see what they have!

DAMN 17000+ works for a black side character who appears for only 1.5 seasons? The fandom's outdone itself!

But wait...

The top relationship isn't related to him? His most important canon relationship has 1/4th the amount of fics that the fanon ship about two white guys has? How unusual....

I think you get my point.

I haven't read that many Hale pack fics for obvious reasons, but the ones I have come across portray him in the exact. Same. Way.

Fanon Boyd is calm. He is the level-headed, mature one (*looks at princeescaluswords posts on poc kid adultification*). When fanon Isaac has his sad meow meow moments, he reassures him. When fanon Erica acts like a sexy but chaotic cat, he smiles affectionately and restrains her. He stands stoicly behind Derek and nods assent. I mean, let's see what the internet has to say about fanon Boyd.

(The 1st result is AI. Because google is disappointing like that and I don't have time to go any deeper rn. Let it be known I do not support publicly accessible AI in any way!)

Oh boy. I know it's no secret that most Sterek fanfics warp the canon characters like hell to make their ship make sense, but oh boy.

"Gentle nature"- proceeds to beat Scott up when he tries to convince them not to kill Lydia, demolishes the opposing lacrosse team, talks back aggressively to literally everyone except Scott in that one scene in the ice rink- but he did just stand by while Derek stepped on Scott's throat 10 seconds ago so I don't think that amounts to much.

"Moral compass"- helps when Derek orders them to kill Jackson and then Lydia, nearly murders Ethan himself before Scott stops him, plots to kill Deucalion etc. Etc.

As he said himself, he only had one friend. That was Erica. A fact conveniently forgotten by the fans who think of him as-

God they really want that obedient beta fantasy don't they?

"Unwavering loyalty"- decides to leave Derek the minute he thinks there may be another pack in town.

"Understands/supports Derek WitHoUt QuEsTiOn"- Disobeys him and plays lacrosse, talked back when he tried to convince them to stay with him, basically told him he was a shit Alpha to his face.

"Compared to his impulsive packmates"? The guy who almost blew up in the middle of a bus of humans with no plan? The guy who flashed his werewolf eyes in public and alerted Gerard that Derek had bit him? Less impulsive than Erica/Isaac??? (He does seem to be more intelligent than them though, so at least they got one thing right)

(Side note- teenwolfwiki calls Scott Isaac's "foster brother"!!! Ahh i love it when they do that!!!)

Yup. The guy who had to be talked down by Scott and Isaac from murder. Yup. The guy who loses control on the full moon twice (not by his own fault of course) and tries to murder Derek and has to be stopped by Isaac and Scott. Totally.

At least the other packmates of the "Hale pack" have some resemblance to canon. Erica does flirt and Isaac does show signs of ptsd. It's still nowhere near their entire personalities though, which is what fanon makes it out to be, but it's still better than how they molded an entire OC with Boyd's face just becayse he was a bit quieter than the other characters.

Ok now that we're over with that shitshow of a fanon, let's talk about canon.

Canon Boyd was mad. Canon Erica was mad. Canon Isaac was mad. Canon Jackson was mad (because he was also one of Derek's betas- a fact the fandom conveniently forgets)

Them being with Derek did not soften them up or calm them down. It gave them the tools and power to release that anger on other innocent people.

Canon makes this pretty obvious with the way Boyd picks fights to be seen as someone important (beating up Scott, the opposing lacrosse team, almost doing the same to Ethan etc), the way Erica frequently goes on rants about how she was treated when she had her seizures (to Scott, Allison, and Stiles), the way Isaac is fully on board to kill Lydia because she rejected him once like, years ago, and the way Jackson- well- does everything (bullying Scott and Stiles, aggressively hurling lacrosse balls at trees, bitching to everyone). The fandom just has this cool way of keeping their eyes closed about what's actually happening on screen.

Derek's anger is what keeps him controlled. His betas are all extensions of that anger. Their anger is what allows them to accept the Bite without even being fully informed of the consequences (cause as Isaac directly says, they weren't)

Said Bite- a decision they made out of the anger they all felt at the world- is what led to 50% of Derek's pack dying. It's what made Jackson into a murderous lizard monster. It's what would've ruined Isaac and Derek too if Isaac hadn't chosen to join Scott because he wants to save people, and if Derek hadn't given up his Alpha status to save his sister.

C'MON GUYS THEY'RE PRACTICALLY BASHING YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH THIS IT'S SO OBVIOUS!

Boyd chose love- he chose Erica, and a life away from violence and anger- when he decided to run away. But by then it was too late. By then both of them had been cemented as Derek's betas because of their prior actions they did under his orders, because of their anger and thirst for revenge. The consequence of that is that the Alpha pack kidnaps them both.

When Boyd escapes, he could've run away again. He could've, like Isaac, gradually started to shift allegiance to Scott. But he needed revenge for what happened to Erica, and honestly I can't blame him but keeping with the themes of the show here, that's why he ended up dying. He chose Derek and his way of revenge again, and the Alpha pack killed him for it.

Boyd says to Scott, "I don't want to be like them, I want to be like you." What does he mean by that? Is he talking superficially he wants to be as good of a fighter as Scott, or maybe he wants to stand up for himself, for others, and for what he thinks is right the way Scott does?

I feel like it's the latter. Boyd and Isaac both initially agree to the Bite for a good cause. Isaac wants to be free from his abusive father, and Boyd wants to not sit alone at lunch anymore. They're good motives, but when they actually get said power they get sidetracked into their petty revenges.

Boyd is a victim- just like Derek, Peter, Isaac, Erica, Scott, Allison, Jackson, Lydia, and pretty much every main character in this show. He's also a narrative tool. Of the above characters I listed, think about who actually lived and why. There's a pretty obvious pattern. Boyd was mad at the world, and rightfully so after how it had beaten him to the ground again and again, but it's how he deals with that anger that makes him who he is (which is a consistent message of the show)

SO CAN WE PLEASE stop chalking up this character who, despite what little nuance we were given about him in canon is actually incredibly complex when you look into it, into some guard dog moral compass!?! Can we not explore Boyd's relationship with the Bite, with anger, with revenge, with love? His relationship with Erica, with Derek, with Isaac after Erica dies, with his late sister, with Cora, with Scott? What do they all mean to him from his perspective?

When you eventually get arrested for playing out your fantasies in real life, I hope you get chemically castrated.

Then, once it has become established that their Target Group has no rights, that there is no cruelty they do not deserve, no sadism too perverse, they will begin trying to lump their real targets in with them.

So you see that it starts with signs that say Throw Your Local Pedophile Into A Woodchipper. You laugh. Pedophiles are monsters. Who is going to defend a monster? Why not throw them into woodchippers? Fuck em'. But then the default accusation of the fascists becomes accusing all their enemies of being pedophiles. They start going, you know, I think those trannies are only making all this fuss about being allowed to use the bathroom because they want to peep on little girls. Maybe those gays that want to talk about LGBT history are just trying to groom little boys. Maybe everyone that I hate is secretly evil and I am allowed to do anything that I want to them. How wonderful. How convenient. And wouldn't you know it, the woodchipper is already warm.

@jesuistropfatiguee712, this is what Miseria is pointing out. That your obsession with finding someone that you're allowed to hate is bypassing your normal moral compass. It is! Look at yourself! When you had a disagreement, you immediately decided that the person you were arguing with was a pervert, then jumped into a fantasy where you, what, hoped she got caught raping someone just so you could have the satisfaction of seeing her castrated? And then, as if you were on some level aware of how repulsive that was, you had to throw in another dig about how gross perverts are. So gross! So gross that it's okay to fantasize about them getting castrated! So gross that it's okay to fantasize about hurting them! You're not deranged! They're just sooooooo grossssssssssss.

My wife is a survivor of CSA. It's hard for her. It's hard for me. I feel like I spent the second and third year of our relationship in a therapy office lobby. I was there when she told her siblings what her dad was. I was there when she told her mom what her husband was. I held her together as best I could in that time. It felt like trying to hold a grenade together by squeezing it with my bare hands. It was awful. I don't know how to write about how awful it was so I mosty just don't write about it. It was more awful for her, but it was awful for me, and I only had one friend I could talk to about it, because everyone else would go on these unhinged rants about how they wanted to throw her dad in a woodchipper and dance in his guts, or how they hoped he went to prison and got beat to death by other inmates, or, better, yet raped. And it made me sick. And the one friend that I had that could talk about it and sit with me in a way that did not make me feel sick to my stomach was a victim of CSA himself. He just wanted to feel safe again, he just wanted to learn how to trust people again, he just wanted his rapist to go to jail, where he wouldn't hurt anyone else ever again, but he didn't have elaborate torture fantasies. He didn't want to hear them from others. He could sit with me, and cry with me, and the gratitude that I feel for him is unspeakable. I owe him so much. He would puke to hear the note of hope in your comment, your hope that your opponent rapes someone just so you could be maximally vindicated in your rage. There is a sickness here that I cannot make words for. Please change.

last summer my friend who is an amazingly talented artist and i were in this super tall building, and she’s in a wheelchair and i’m pushing her around the room. it’s an art exhibit and some of her art was chosen to be showcased there and so it’s all fine and dandy until suddenly an alarm starts going off

a FIRE ALARM

everyone starts running for the stairs and my friend just looks at me with this forlorn look on her face

“i can’t go down the stairs”

but i’m a stubborn bitch “i’ll carry you”

“what about my chair? it’s too expensive for me to be able to get another one if i can’t get this one back”

“i’ll carry that too”

and i did. we went to the stairs (by then most people from our floor were gone) and i lifted her up in a fireman’s carry over my shoulder and then lifted her chair up and used the ridiculous amount of adrenaline that was coursing through my veins to make it down approximately 20 half-flights of stairs until we met some people exiting lower floors, one of which who kindly took the chair. I changed positions so i was holding my friend bridal-style which was, somehow, easier and the person who took her wheelchair (with her permission to handle it of course) accompanied me to the ground floor and then out the doors

basically there is no real protocol for people who can’t use the stairs in an emergency. it’s up to the people with them, if anyone, to help them or the person to somehow make it down the stairs alone, unassisted

thank fuck that it was just a faulty alarm system, because if i was unable to carry her down those stairs and the building was on fucking fire???? then i don’t know what would have happened to her, but i don’t think it would have been very good.

the fire marshal hemmed and hawed for a while and then said to take the elevator- you’re supposed to leave it free for the fire department to use and they want able-bodied people out fast not waiting for elevators. if the fire alarm has just gone off the building probably hasn’t suffered enough structural damage to make using the elevator dangerous, and modern elevator wells are heavily reinforced. many large and high-trafficked buildings on my campus have fire rated elevators that link in with the fire alarm system so they won’t let you off on a floor with a possible fire. 

if the elevator isn’t working, wait in the stairwell and call the fire department to let them know where you are. modern stairwells are also heavily reinforced- it might not be pleasant but modern building code usually requires fire-resistant stairwell doors in office and big residential buildings, also to help firefighters get in and out safely. older buildings’ stairwells may or may not be retrofitted with fire-resistant doors but a stairwell is generally the safest place to wait if you can’t get out. 

Understand that once you enter the elevator, you could POTENTIALLY be taking your life into your hands there.

It is NOT LIKELY, to be perfectly honest. It’s only in a pretty catastrophic scenario - think the Twin Towers, USA, on September 11th - that the elevators will be compromised and out of service. But there is a NOT ZERO PERCENT CHANCE and you need to understand that and accept it.

As for leaving the elevators free for the firefighters, okay, here’s the deal. Unless your nearest fire station is literally right next door? Your first on scene fire truck is NOT likely to be there on scene and needing that elevator before you get to the ground. It takes us TIME to find the address, gear up, and drive to the building. Then we need to hoof it into where the elevators even ARE, so YOU HAVE TIME to use the elevator to get down to the ground floor... BUT ONLY IF THERE’S NOT A RUSH ON THE ELEVATOR! And THAT is WHY we don’t tell people this shit. That’s WHY we tell people to NEVER USE THE ELEVATOR... because every self-entitled asshole will use it because they don’t feel like walking, and then put YOU in danger by delaying the elevator’s arrival to you.

IF, however, the elevator IS compromised, or you just can’t get it to come for you, or whatever, and you either don’t have anyone with you who has the adrenaline fueled BALLS to be able to toss you over their shoulder and hoof it down the stairs with you - because, let’s face it, that is RARE AS FUCK, then HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:

You call 911 and tell the call taker that you are in the building that has a fire alarm going off, and you are not able to evacuate because of a physical disability, and you tell them what floor you are on, and EXACTLY what stairwell you are waiting at. And the very FIRST thing that the firefighters are going to do once they arrive, if it is, indeed, a REAL emergency, and not a false alarm, is come get your ass and bring you down. Whether that means carrying you down the stairs, or whether that means locking out the elevators so that no one else can override them and coming to get you themselves, they WILL come get you FIRST THING if it is a real event. And if it is a false alarm? You will probably be the first person who is not involved with the building to know, because the call-taker is going to stay on the line with you until you are under someone’s care and out of danger, or until the scene has been sorted out as real or false, and you are out of danger that way.

These are pretty standard operations in the fire service throughout the United States. There may be some minor variations based on specific municipalities, but, for the most part, this is pretty typical: LIFE BEFORE PROPERTY. So, as long as SOMEONE knows where you are - hence why you call 911 - Firefighters will come get you. You are NOT alone, and you have NOT been abandoned. I PROMISE. It’s like, our whole reason for doing the shit we do: to save lives and to break shit. Sometimes, we get lucky enough to do both at the same time.

High rise fires suck ass, and I always hated them. But the very FIRST thing I asked anytime we got one was if we had “any entrapments” - which is what we call anyone who could not self-evacuate for ANY reason. We ain’t leaving you behind. And yes, your friend who doesn’t have the stamina to carry you down can stay with you, too. Because I would never ask that of someone, honestly. 

If disabled and the fire alarm is just happened, you're allowed to take the elevators down but there's a small possibility you could get stuck if the elevators are compromised.

If you can't use the elevators or don't want that risk, go to the stairwell which is reinforced against fire, close the doors, and call 911 to let them know you are in that particular stairwell and can't get down.

Fire will strongly prioritize finding and rescuing people who might be still in the building during any actual structure fire. This is a major component of their job.

I am once again begging people to realize that AI checker doesn’t work. it’s never worked. it’s notoriously known to have flagged human-made works as AI and AI-generated works as human-made. and by feeding it people’s works, you are feeding more works to AI, because apparently the machine itself is AI.
