Me Myself and I

scott mccall + space for @moths-in-hats

I thought her character was somewhat sympathetic in s1, I thought she was a bit pick-me but generally okay, but how easily she was swayed by Kate drove me insane. Then again, she had a bond with Kate, so at least there was somewhat of a foundation of a relationship there that could be used to manipulate her. S2 threw any sympathy right out the door.

I think my biggest issue with her is how there’s absolutely no consequences for what she did to Erica and Boyd. She not only attacked them, but willing handed them over to be tortured, knowing full well that’s what was happening. They had nothing to do with her mother’s death, and even if they did, they were teenagers. She was happy to kill kids the same age as her without blinking. That’s not manipulation.

Yes, she was manipulated. Both by Kate and Gerard. But manipulation only goes so far, and manipulation can’t make a person completely abandon their moral code. Not the manipulation Allison was subjected to anyway.

And again, Allison has never shown any remorse for her actions. Not what she did in s1, and definitely not in s2. Not even what she did to Issac.

Or, something I haven’t seen anyone mention.

Jackson.

Now, Jackson was a tool. He was a dick and self-important and prickly as all shit, but Allison was shown to have a connection with him. They talked, they flirted and they were fond of eachother. There was enough of a relationship between them that if Jackson being another person wouldn’t give her pause, then that previous relationship should’ve given her pause at the idea of just killing him. Lydia and Scott are the only two that still treat Jackson as a person, though despite what he says I doubt Stiles was really willing to actually kill him.

I think it just shows that Allison has no regard for human life, unless it’s of value to her, which is Scott, for the most part.

Also, when it comes to her Mum, Scott had previously gone to her about concerns regarding her mum. Her mum was willing and ready to kill a sixteen year old, and I hated that the show tried to then show her killing herself as something sympathetic. She was a bitch, and yet Allison didn’t even spend five seconds to work out why Derek would attack when they’ve mostly been leaving eachother alone. Even finding out the only reason Derek did anything was to save Scott’s life, she still sees herself as superior.

As if Kate didn’t decimate his entire family.

Scott kinda annoyed me here too. Mainly in his inability to hold Allison accountable when he’ll do it to anybody else, like Stiles and Derek. Even if he wasn’t angry at Allison on his behalf, he should’ve argued for Derek. Derek didn’t have to go in and save him, but he did, and that deserves a bit of gratefulness, which Scott has never shown.

Scott was willing to show Derek understanding, but then Derek tried to take advantage of Scott giving him a chance, and trying to talk to him, to send his betas off to murder an innocent girls, based on some old wife's tale, with zero actual evidence

If anything, Scott was far too forgiving of Derek, part of why Stiles doesn't even care that Derek might have died in 3a, and refuses to give any trust to Derek, is because he feels that Scott trusts Derek too much. and that Scott gives Derek far too many chances.

It's also noticeable that Stiles never once, even tries to tell Allison what her mother was doing when Derek had to bite her. At that point, Allison wasn't talking to Scott, he had no chance to tell her, but stiles did.

what if teen wolf was a video game?

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

If you are using Henry Nowak's death to 'prove' that white people are somehow oppressed fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.

You are actively going against his families' wishes. They have literally stated they do not want his death to be used to create division.

Don't compare it to George Floyd I know for fucking certain you did not give a shit about George Floyd you have no right to compare it to George Floyd when I can tell you did not care. Don't say shit like white lives matter you fundamentally misunderstand why black lives matter exists as a movement. I know for certain you people would not care if he wasn't white.

The police can still be to blame without it being that they have some anti-white bias. Maybe we should consider the fact that the police have the power to arrest someone who is dying and that maybe they shouldn't have that power.

Yes the police are to blame for his death, they were negligent. Doesn't mean it's some reverse racism bullshit.
