Prince Escalus' Words

mason's just messing with him tho none of them have figured it out<3

"I don't trust him. Scott doesn't trust him. I trust Scott."

"I don't like keeping secrets from Scott."

"I can't leave, not without Scott."

"I'm the hot girl." "Yes, you are." That fuckass smile and him grunting in satisfaction.

Him yelling Isaac's name when Isaac lost his shit on Ethan. Them yelling each other's names so desperately.

Isaac joking about murder and Scott giving him that dopey smile like he's the funniest man alive. "We'll kill them next time." Calm tf down, Scotty.

You literally hate Scott. No he wouldn’t.

As opposed to what, he should be grateful? He wasn't annoying enough in my opinion. I wish he was the menace that you guys claim him to be because the amount of garbage being dished out to him, while he's expected to take it is hilarious to think about. He's going through violent changes-which will alter his life forever- that he didn't ask for and the weight of responsibility is being forced on him.

I saw a story today about Derek Hale with this tag:

"what if they didn't hate him and call him a murderer on sight"

Do you feel the empathy here? The "they" which is being referred to is, of course, to Scott and Stiles. But here is the thing -- Scott and Stiles didn't hate Derek. They were AFRAID of him. And they were afraid of him because he stalked them at parties, and he broke into their houses, and he hit them when he was angry with them, and he threatened to kill them MORE THAN ONCE. If they hated Derek, they could have told their parents, a sheriff and an FBI agent, or they could have sold him out to the Argents, the werewolf hunters they knew about, or simply let him die in Magic Bullet (1x04).

And as for calling him a murderer? He buried half a body of a murder victim -- a murder victim killed by a werewolf -- in the back yard of the burned-down house he was living in. Police call that "probable cause," but I think a normal person would strongly suspect that this person was a killer.

What has this to do with Scott? They call Scott 'bratty' because he expressed his emotional needs, like making sure that he could live the life he wanted to live. They call him 'annoying' because he acted as if what was happening to him was just as important as the Hale fire. They don't think Derek is annoying for refusing to share even the most basic information in a way that didn't include stalking, threats or physical violence. Why?

Their entire discontent with Scott's character comes from the ingrained feeling that the show should be focused on white male characters. You know how I know this? Because no one calls Stiles annoying when, in the middle of a scene when Scott is trying to figure out if he murdered his old bus driver during a somnambulatory rage, Stiles is pissy about feeling like a sidekick. Note, I understand Stiles's feelings as valid, even if they are ill-timed. But the intended focus of that scene for the audience isn't average teenage angst, but the terror of discovering that you tore a human being apart with your bare hands. Yet, Scott's fear and his attempt to maintain control of his own life is greeted with derision if not outright loathing. Why? Because it gets in the way of white male characters.

Ask anybody why they find Scott 'bratty' or 'annoying' or 'the worst character' or 'selfish' or 'self-absorbed' in Season 1 (or 2 or 3 or 4 etc.) and they will either take one or two scenes out of context or avoid talking about it altogether. Because it's not about whether Scott is right or wrong, valid or invalid, in what he chooses to do; it's about the amount of time what happens to him and how he feels about it takes away from the time the audience can spend watching the nearest white male character.

My other headcanon, though, is that she met Ken: in him, she found someone she wanted to grow old with, so she did!
