I feel like this is one of the top five most egregious crimes committed by JD and TPTB. Not only was it completely sloppy as fuck to give some hand-me-down plot line to another character, they gave it to a character with minimal emotional connection to the fandom.

If they'd managed to give us a character we'd seen develop, instead of pasting one in bc of....contracts? or some shit?...we may have been on board with that shifting of the story arc. But trying to force some sort of emotional connection between characters when the majority of the fandom can't even connect to this character is lazy as fuck. Lydia got it wrong.  That's my truth here.  She's still, even now, figuring out her power, and she misunderstood.  She got it wrong.

This, though. Ultimately we can’t completely blame the show for the Jackson arc being dropped (Colton chose, for whatever reasons, to leave), but if that’s the case then you just set that arc aside and move on or find a natural way to rework it. The problem is that Jeff has no patience whatsoever for character building... and maybe that’s partly due to actors leaving and needing to start over so often, but it’s also just... sloppiness and laziness.

I love the idea of Lydia getting it wrong. I don’t even know how we decided she was right to begin with, honestly. I forget how the whole arc went but from what I remember it was just her looking at a photo and deciding their eyes looked similar (even though the actors’ eyes aren’t similar at all) and then suddenly everyone was accepting her as a Hale.

thank you!!!

30. Favorite line you’ve ever written.

oooooh that’s a hard one let’s see...

“What if I’m already mad?” from Make It Feel like Home because i really really wanted to incorporate that one ^^

uuuh fave non-sterek line is probably “You grimace when you wonder if even the rain can’t help but fall for him.”

31. Hardest character to write. 

uuuh from all the fandoms i’ve ever tried to write in? probably q or james bond from, well, james bond. i just can’t seem to grasp their characters?

43. Are you an avid reader?

oooh yes definitely! i think i read about 150k a night? it’s just kinda something i do before i go to bed :p you could say i’m kind of addicted to reading lol

Haha feel free to ramble to me about it, I love Jackson Hale, it’s... not even a headcanon to me. It’s basically just canon they didn’t get a chance to talk about in-universe. And there was so much potential there, and so much beautiful build-up, and it made way more sense than... whatever they did in 3B. Glanced at a picture of her and decided whatshername must be Peter’s daughter because of their eye color? (Even though their... eyes... aren’t the same... color...)

(*cough* unlike Colton and Ian)

But the arc could have been so amazing, and so fulfilling after a whole season of Jackson not knowing his family, so suddenly have to figure out having a birth father and a cousin (who’s also technically his Alpha) and just... it could have been so interesting, ok?

Now, I don’t know if the show would have made it interesting. I heard that part of the reason Colton left was because he’d been told that his screentime would be seriously reduced in season three, so I don’t think the Jackson Hale arc would have gotten as much attention as I feel like it should have.

@halekingsourwolf see? Lol

Ohhhh yes I do remember a few people talking about that last week! Apparently Liam and Mason got bumped up a grade –– introduced as freshman in spring of the mains’ junior year, now the mains are heading into their first year of college, which should make them starting junior year but instead apparently they’re seniors.

I really can’t talk about that because I don’t know these characters or 6B enough to meta... anything on it, really, but I again have to wonder if anyone on the TW team has ever heard of a fact checker.

32. cuddles or sex? i’d go with cuddles, sex is painful for me and too much work

13. if you had to choose one song for the rest of your life which would it be? at the moment all i can think of is “tell me how” by paramore.. even tho i just bought brand new’s new album and its all a jam
