#tw memory found

LISTEN i feel like a lot of people rn are gonna be really salty and all like “this is such bullshit Sciles obviously has a stronger connection than Stydia does” and like acting all high and mighty about how the show is being too shippy and it should’ve been Scott that opened the rift or gotten it started instead of Malia yada yada but then I feel like they’re missing the point. Scott’s remembrance was like the jump starter—they needed it to help them better understand this process, to use it as a jumping off point. Malia’s memories were the next step, as she dove deeper into the idea of honing in on a connection, not just a memory. the light first appeared here because not only was Malia focusing more on the concept of connections, but the gears were already in motion after Scott kind of laid the groundwork with getting a visual image of memories and stuff like that. they then needed Lydia for the final piece of the puzzle, to get the engine fully running. Lydia does of course have this intense connection with Stiles which only helps their cause but does in no way weaken or discredit the different kinds of connections that Scott or Malia have with him. it wasn’t Lydia’s memories that created the rift, it was Lydia’s memories that were the final kick. it just so happens that she had a huge emotional revelation in the middle of it, but that’s beside the point rn. each person’s different connections and memories had their own jobs, and they needed the power of all three to get everything going. it was a group effort!!!

we all knew it was gonna be a great teen wolf episode when isaac lahey, pure angel and representative of Everything Good in this world, was mentioned after three seasons in forgotten french purgatory
