Nico: Cause I'm half Greek? We are all half Greek? The gods are Greek?

Percy: I know we're hardwired for ancient Greek but like, I need lessons to actually understand it? Wouldn't it be your third language?

Nico: my dad lived with us in Italy, why wouldn't he speak his native language? I grew up speaking both Greek and Italian.

Leo: i think the more important thing we're ignoring here is that Hades was a present dad.

Nico: is, I live with him sometimes.

Leo: How was that childhood? Like *puts on a high voice* 'oh papa can you read me a bedtime story?' And he goes *puts on a deep voice* 'yes my little bambinas' and pulls out the necronomicon?

Nico: The necronomicon is fictional but points for knowing what that is and also no, he just told us stories he heard from the long dead, Mama was the weird one —but—

Nico: *turns around* Pollux, your dad was around when you were a kid; did you learn Greek?

Pollux: ναι. Different dialects tho.

Hi Anon,

Thanks for the ask. I’m not really active in Teen Wolf fandom anymore, so I have no fresh thoughts to offer you on this. The short answer is that there’s some subtext in the show that hints that Stiles has some kind of supernatural power. It starts when Deaton tells him to “be the spark” and then Stiles manages to stretch a tiny bit of mountain ash around a whole building to form a barrier. There are other hints later too, including the Nogitsune arc – why did it choose him, if he was just a measly human? Why did it have so much more power while it was in him than in the other hosts we saw? And stuff like his phone always working even when no-one else had a signal.

I made some posts about Stiles as a spark (and how it potentially links to his bisexuality) back in the day. Here are the most relevant:

I hope that helps.

It’s that same old question that keeps coming up.

In S1, I thought Peter was an insane mastermind who bit Scott because he had some larger plan, as he did with Lydia. Eventually we’d see it play out.

In S4, I still think Peter was insane in S1. He’d been driven crazy by trauma and being in that coma for so long, and possibly by his nurse too. (Was she abusive? How did that whole thing start when he was comatose? I’m really starting to think the theory that Nurse Jennifer was Jennifer Blake has legs.)

He definitely bit Lydia with a cunning plan in mind – he could easily have known Lydia’s family were banshees, given the Hales and Martins have both lived in Beacon Hills a long time. He had a long time to lie there and think about who to bite if he was alpha, so I believe he’d thought Lydia’s bite through.

It’s possible Peter also knows something about Raphael McCall which would make Scott a good target.

But on the other hand, S4 showed pretty clearly that Peter is driven by instinct and emotion, and it undermines his capacity to plan. He’s not a mastermind, he’s just cunning, and it’s actually not that hard to out-maneouver him.

So is there a plan after all? Did he just bite Scott because Scott was there and Peter wanted to get started on making a pack? Peter didn’t show any signs of wanting to bite other people to make a pack, and he had heaps of time to do it in.

Or did he have some other motive? Was it just instinct? Did he bite Scott because Scott was fiddling about right near Laura’s body? Was he being protective of Laura’s body? Did he momentarily think Scott was one of the people who cut Laura in half? Was he trying to bite a hunter as part of his vengeance?

S1 was much more tightly plotted than later seasons, so I think there probably was a reason in Davis’ head. I don’t think it’s the one we were told in canon, that Peter was trying to make a pack. He even stopped and asked Stiles, before biting him. If Lydia was his fall-back, and he didn’t expect her to be pack, and Stiles was how he asked someone to become pack, then what was Scott’s bite about? It doesn’t fit.

Why Scott, is the thing. In S1 it was easy to take for granted that he was a reasonable character to be bitten. Why not? He’s an everyman, right. That’s a common trope.

Except he’s not an everyman, is he. That’s not his role at all. So, why Scott?
