I WANT TO BABBLE AT YOU ABOUT TEEN WOLF, but it's probably better if you ask me questions because all my ~feelings right now are from later episodes you haven't seen and I don't want to risk spoiling you. BUT I LOVE THAT CHEESY LITTLE TEEN SUPERNATURAL SHOW WITH ALL MY HEART. I remember Scorp and I originally watched it to make fun of the pilot. Then it was actually entertaining, then the storyline became interesting and intriguing and there was actual characterization and fierce ladies (Lydiaaaa, Allisooooon, KAAAATE; I even have a lot of fondness for Melissa McCall, PLZ SHOW MORE OF HER, TOO, SHOW) and it became this sleeper obsession. I'm kind of amazed at how many people are watching it now, last season I remember trying to push people to watch it and they would act as if I were on drugs and never believed me when I said it was good /o\ BUT ANYWAY, YES, I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS.
As for the meme (I would have participated on tumblr, but Scorp has taken it from me in order to finish this ridiculous length fic; I shouldn't even be on LJ, but she is not here), may I have Jeyne Westerling.... and Stiles? :D
YAAAAY, OKAY, I CAN DO THAT. (I am also hoping to watch more tonight - the only thing impeding me from devouring the rest of the episodes I haven't seen is that I've been watching it my sister, so I have to wait till we're both free). But as of now, I probably have the most feelings about Allison and Lydia, and I was a bit of a late bloomer to the Allison feelings tbh. I wanted to like her right off the bat because I kind of have a ginormous crush on Crystal Reed, jeez, but I found her a bit bland, or at least I hated how sooo much of her storyline revolved around Scott? Which doesn't really fault her as a character, but... I also just did not understand what in the world she saw in Scott (I spent season one REALLY frustrated with Scott but I am working on it, lol) and that affected my judgment. I think I fell in love with Allison properly when she started the whole "I want to be strong, I don't want to feel like that again" arc because ughhhhhhhhhhh I have such a thing for characters who try to overcome fear like that, who are scared and then never want to feel that again. And I loved everything between her and Kate (KATE WAS SO BADASS AND FASCINATING AND I WAS NOT EXPECTING HER TO DIE AND IT CRUSHED ME UTTERLY ;_______;).
Also, Lydia! Lydia was my first love of the show (tbh the reason I gave in and started watching was because Holland Roden's face was everywhere and I wanted to see more of it) and I adore her so much too. I love that she's the smartest one, and I love the scene where she makes herself up like it's an actual mask and I love how they deal with her trauma issues (and I am really looking forward to all of the season two stuff about this I keep seeing hints of) and I just love her to pieces. I kiiiiiiiiind of ship Stiles/Lydia but I am hesitant, for reasons I will explain in the meme, lol. Allison/Lydia is my fave thing just because they're both my faves and I'm easy like that. Um um um what else. Jackson is a douchebag but I loved his whole scene during the parent-teacher interviews, I found that really interesting, and I think he's actually an awesome character in some ways, even though he's a douche. I love that his best friend is Danny. It makes me sooooo happy. I don't have that many feelings about Derek except "your life sucks and you could really use a hug and a new place to live because why are you still living in the house where YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY WAS KILLED and lbr YOU CAN'T EVEN CALL THAT A HOUSE ANYMORE how do you liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive". Also he needs to stop creeping on everyone. But yeah. I have seen on Tumblr that Derek/Stiles is a really big thing and I don't really know what I think of it yet. SO UM YEAH THOSE ARE MY FEELINGS. I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT THIS SHOW. BUT IT REALLY IS DELIGHTFUL.
(also, good luck with the ficcccccc, that seems like a smart strategy and probably something I should do more often, since Tumblr has been distracting me from eeeeverything lately, whoops.)
how I feel about them - I WISH WE KNEW MOOOOOORE ABOUT HER. I want to know all the things about Jeyne. But it's also interesting to see different fandom interpretations of her, so there's that. Idk, I just want more of her perspective of how things happened with Robb, and I want to know everything about their relationship, and her family relationships too. I think Jeyne is another example of a character who didn't really have much control in their circumstances, and that continues to be her tragedy in a sense, she's considered such a pawn by other characters, just a body, even when she was married to Robb she was seen that way by most people, I think. She was the girl who ruined the alliance with the Freys or she was the body that could give Robb an heir, and I just, I want to know more about Jeyne.
favourite scene - the scene mentioned by her mother about how she thrashed and fought when they tried to take her crown away because nooooooooo it gives me so many feelings, SHE IS A WOLF QUEEN,AND ROBB GAVE HER THAT CROWN, IT IS HERS, SHE'S A WOLF NOW D:
otp for them (romantic or otherwise) - Robb, because I think they were legitimately happy together and I think he was one of the few characters who did view her as a person, and I want to know more about them
my endgame of choice - idk, happiness I guess? Can I ship Jeyne/agency? Because I do
my response to fandom’s attitude towards them - ack, I don't actually have much experience with fandom's attitude to her but I know a lot of them are gross and blame her and stuff and ew, no, please stop it.
STILES STILINSKI
how I feel about them - I LIKE HIM A LOT. He is obviously the best comedically, and he really sells the show, especially in the first few episodes where they're finding their rhythm and there's a lot of filler. So I find him super entertaining in that sense, and I love characters who are witty and funny, but I also want to more about like, his panic attacks and his mom and his relationship with his dad? I LOVE HIM AND HIS DAD. THEY HUG. It's the cutest. Also I have a lot of respect for Stiles for being such a good friend to Scott even when Scott was pretty much the worst friend. And being smart and figuring everything out.
favourite scene I loooooooove both the scene and the visual of Stiles crouched on the ground over Lydia's body, staring down the alpha, because he's a HUMAN, he is a weak boy and that's the man who's been killing people, the most powerful werewolf, and it's so brilliant. I also love the scene with Danny and Derek in his room for the lulz, what is your life Stiles.
otp for them (romantic or otherwise) - this is... hard. I honestly don't know. Like I said already, I don't really get Derek/Stiles, but... Lydia/Stiles kinda makes me super uncomfortable? I just have a huge aversion to "nice guy pines after pretty girl, nice guy deserves pretty girl, nice guy gets pretty girl" storylines, and while I love things like how he's so aware of how smart she is, and that's what gets to her, being recognized for that, I just... I mean, it's mostly more of a problem with the show a it's storytelling decisions rather than any problem with Stiles but I cringed when he said the whole line about "you are going to dance with me because I've liked you since third grade" because whaaaaaaaaat no, it doesn't work like that, it doesn't matter if you have liked her since you were a fetus, she has no obligation to you for ANYTHING. no matter how NICE you are either. like, yeah, okay, it was just a dance, but I hits me in the all the wrong places, I have a really really bad reaction to that trope in general, and Lydia/Stiles hits a little too close to it for me at the moment. Idk. :/
my endgame of choice - I HAVE NO IDEA
my response to fandom’s attitude towards them - fandom seems to worship this boy and adore him and want to be his best friend and I am pretty good with that, because he deserves better friends anyway, lol
