✨are you looking for my power transfer in teen wolf meta?✨

✨laura hale: darling, dearest, dead meta✨

fandom has really gaslit itself into believing tech isn't dead like it isn't speculation.

i get it. i've had theories near and dear to me that didn't pan out the way i'd hoped but also i hope y'all can temper your disappointment when tech being the cx-2 clone isn't the case because some of the comments and posts i've seen have been 😬

i fear i don't believe emerie is going to make it. she's going to save those kids one way or another. maybe dr scolder will catch those hands on the way out.

will my dream of the zillo beast on top of mount tantiss eating hemlock become a reality? they're just teasing me.

derek and allison parallels my beloved.

derek is fully aware allison would never believe him about what went down with her mother no matter what he said. instead he tells her, "your family's little honor code killed your mother, not me." which is true. the argent code of suicide rather than be a werewolf due to their own bigotry is what ended up really killing victoria in the end. not once did chris or victoria stop to question it or the impact this would have on allison or how gerard could manipulate them and her. they're both fully indoctrinated into the hunting delusion of righteousness.

no the information that victoria attempted to kill scott has to come from scott. that's why derek kept pushing scott to tell her the truth. he could've ignored it all together but derek respected allison enough to believe that she deserved the truth of what happened. that it was unfair to hold back a vital piece of information as to what occurred in the timeline of victoria's death that led to allison being manipulated by gerard.

the truth doesn't exactly clear his name with allison but it provides context that derek was acting in defense of scott. something that could change allison's perception. i think some part of derek sympathizes with her because he's been manipulated, lied to and abused in the past himself. he knows what can happen to an otherwise decent person under those circumstances. he to an extent understands allison's pain.

scott withheld the information from a place of good -- he didn't want to hurt allison further by tainting the memory of her mother -- but ultimately doing so i think was selfish. the lack of information is what harmed allison more in the long run as it allowed gerard to manipulate her.

derek values truth and forthrightness which contrasts peter and lessons peter has attempted to teach derek. derek spends a lot of season 2 contending with that conflict and when he gives up his alpha spark to save his sister he proves to be his mother's son over peter's protégée. derek was able to walk away from power in a way that duecalion, peter, kate, gerard and jennifer were not. they were consumed by it and derek instead used his to save cora's life.

back in my sad cowboy era.

i've started a new rdr2 playthrough.

i forgot how slow the looting animation is.

if laura hale's murder is the inciting incident of teen wolf than allison's death is the cataclysm event in the narrative.

it's why i hate the idea of her being resurrected. as much as i was pissed off about it when it happened allison's death gave weight to the character arcs that followed. especially lydia, scott and stiles's.
