I AM NOT SAFE FOR WORK, SCHOOL, OR YOUR METAPHORICAL MENTAL/EMOTIONAL HYMENS. 98% teen wolf plus some reblogs of neat stuff.

The handle ladywinter came about during a mmorpg where I was a tiny glass cannon melee-type with high damage, as a shortened version of Milady De Winter.

I hold onto it in both defiance of the name and in honor of it; to be a lady, and not to be. I keep the name both to remind myself of grace and remind myself to be clumsy, both to remind myself that I am beautiful and to allow myself to be ugly. It reminds me that I can be in the same breath cruel and kind, and that that makes me human. It reminds me that she died and to be angry over it. It reminds myself of the contradictions of my gender because frequently I’m terribly cerebral and I forget.

It reminds me of raids with my guild where I was able to take out half the enemies in a room before the 7 other members in my party could finish a combo.

It reminds me that I can be strong. And while it might not matter to anyone else’s story that I died, while I know that my history will be re-written by the victors, that I might live strongly enough that some other girl, reading what has become twisted of my story, also thinks, “there is something fishy here.”

And be willing to think, “Fuck all that noise,” as well.

You’ll note a slight difference in this recap to the two before, mostly because some strong and personal feelings were involved that Teen Wolf triggered by accident and that I’ve been trying to deal with all day. This is not a glowing review and I will probably be harsher than the episode really deserves, so you have been warned.

“…[re: Derek and Blake] if one significant look is enough to sell a ship to you, why do I still have to argue about Derek and Stiles being canon? Reality check – if this is enough, if what Allison and Isaac did is enough, not a single fucking person better call Sterek or Sterek shippers a single bad name or delusional or crazy ever fucking again. I’m serious, any Ms Blake/Derek shipper who mouths off about Sterek is a hypocrite and an asshole. (That said, anyone dissing Ms Blake with gender-based slurs better hide their face from me because my rage will burn them alive.)”

Worth quoting.

shipsanddip:

In my previous essay, I talked about the importance of Scott’s name with regard to his future character development and journey. If you read it, you will have noticed that many of the characters important to that journey have names with Greek roots. It is to Greek mythology that we return when considering the character of Cora Hale and her possible impact on our main characters. Unfortunately, the outlook is grim and I fear that Cora Hale will bring much sorrow and agony, especially to her own big brother.

This might not be what you might think it’s about (because of the title) because Cora is derived from ‘Persephone’.

And I can’t help but think of Persephone Lied by nicodreams now.

Take a deep fucking breath and repeat after me: I have faith in Jeff Davis.
A lot of you are freaking out about Ms. Blake and Derek Hale. And I get it, I do, I’ve seen a lot of worry that would make sense in normal contexts. I see people worrying that a relationship between Ms. Blake and Derek (what are the kids calling that? Blarek? Does she even have a first name? My god I’m so out of it) would necessarily mean no Sterek. I see people worried that Ms. Blake is being “given” to Derek as a “prize” (which I’m assuming refers to a prize for having saved her?). I see people worried that she’s only there to be a love interest for Derek.
I’d like to welcome you all to Teen Wolf, where No.
Jeff has never done anything like that to us before, why on Earth would he start now? He didn’t give Allison to Scott as a prize for saving the day or coming to terms with being a werewolf or whatever; Allison pretty much called him on his bullshit lying and then left him when she felt she was losing herself being involved in his (admittedly dangerous and consuming) world. Lydia was never a “prize” for Jackson, he didn’t win her for anything he did, they ended up fighting tooth and nail (or claw?) for one another after he practically gutted himself so he wouldn’t go crazy where she was and she put herself directly in the path of danger to save him back. She had that whole thing with Young Peter and Peter using her to bring himself back to life (we think??) but that was never shown in any light except “this is a bad thing Peter did” so I don’t personally consider that the same thing at all.
I dunno about you but I wouldn’t DARE ever say that Melissa McCall was anything other than an I’m-not-taking-your-bullshit strong-ass mom who isn’t here for anyone else’s benefit (except okay, Scott’s, but that’s a parent thing imo not a woman thing). Of course there was Erica, who was on the cusp of having a really spectacular storyline about coming into her own as a wolf and finding out that she’s awesome (and then her actress had to go be talented and beautiful and amazing and get picked up by another show, so we’ll never know where Erica was meant to go- but you can bet it wasn’t a one-dimensional love story). And then there’s Morrell, whom I’m pretty certain by now is actually a complete BAMF working double agent duty with the alphas and our home pack (maybe including Deaton? I really hope so I want them to be BAMF hunter druid partners or something). We can’t really speak of Cora, but I’m sure we will and I’m sure that, coming from the Hale family, she’s not going to be interested in taking anyone’s nonsense (especially Derek’s). I haven’t seen enough of Kali to make comments on her except that I think I saw her cut a person’s throat- with her feet.
How about the dead girls? Kate certainly was never a prize for anyone (oh god please don’t let her near people again). Victoria was already in the picture but can you honestly imagine that woman ever sitting around just to be someone’s love interest? No. There was Laura, but we only met her one half at a time and no one’s come forth as her lover so we can’t really say. Then there was Heather, Stiles’ childhood friend whom Jeff brought in juuuuust long enough to show us that she and Stiles were (or at least had been) close; just long enough to show us he had a connection to someone before she died. Or rather, before she was killed for plot purposes (so Stiles could make the connection between the deaths). There’s also the mysterious girl Isaac met whom we’re meant to suspect is dead but it probably in much worse condition, and I think we’re all hoping she comes back and gets to be a kickass, motorbike-riding prophet of the Werewolves.
I can’t tell if I’m forgetting anyone because I’m really bad with names and such, but let’s just take a step back and look at what the pattern so far is with the women listed above.
Mostly badass, self-actualized (or on their way to being self-actualized) women with some amount of power and no tie-downs to men romantically if that isn’t exactly what they intended. They all have roles to play in the show, they all matter in ways outside of romance.
And you think that somehow Jeff is going to say “Great, NOW is the time to give DEREK HALE the only one-dimensional love story in the show.”
A remotely happy ending moment for Derek fucking Hale? Of all people?
This is Derek Hale, guys. This is Derek I-dated-the-hunter-that-killed-my-family Hale. Derek I-came-back-to-Beacon-Hills-because-someone-cut-my-sister-in-half Hale. Derek I-live-in-the-burned-out-shell-of-my-family’s-grave/home-until-the-county-kicks-me-out Hale. Derek I-killed-the-only-family-member-I-had-left-because-he-was-a-psychopath Hale. Derek I-can’t-even-kill-the-only-family-member-I-had-left-right Hale. Derek I-turned-a-bunch-of-teenagers-into-werewolves-because-that-was-my-best-plan Hale. Derek I-taunt-hunters-until-they-smash-my-Camaro’s-window-in Hale. Derek I-bit-the-mother-of-the-girl-that-Scott-I’mnotinyourpack-McCall-likes-so-he-hates-me-even-though-I-saved-his-life Hale.
Speaking purely in terms of the character we already know, Derek is just not lucky enough to be awarded anything. Derek can’t even get given a thank you.
Derek’s in an incredibly bad place right now. He’s beaten it into his skull that he’s worthless, that everyone around him gets hurt, that he is, perhaps, beyond redemption, and he is looking for a way to change that.  For instance, if he can just save one person, just one, even if it means his death, maybe that will be a start. Some people have said he’s given up on life; I don’t think that’s true. I think he hasn’t given up on life so much as he is looking for a reason to die. His life, in his eyes, means nothing, but maybe his death can.
And here tonight, our gruff, sassy little fuck-up Derek Hale managed to save not one person, but three people; a family member, a pack mate, and a (supposedly, for now) innocent bystander (though I don’t believe she’s innocent or a bystander, but we’ve been told that so far so that’s what I’m going with here). You think he’s going to get to keep any part of that equation in a good way?
Like I guess I don’t even fathom how anyone can think this wasn’t a setup for bad things?? I wholly believe that Ms Blake is Involved (capital I) with the alphas or with the killings (or both), and if she’s not then I will be really fucking surprised. Given Jeff’s patterns so far, the only other explanation I can see is if something horrible is going to happen to her because Derek saved her life here. (Though I’ll be honest, Lady Winter’s desire to see her be a good character and part ways amicably with Derek later on because she wants NO part of all these life-shortening werewolf shenanigans is rather charming, to me).
And just a last thought here, have some psychological science: he’s saved her, and his adrenaline is high because of it and she’s just been through an ordeal and her adrenaline is high because of it and if anything, if ANYTHING AT ALL happens romantically between them as a result of this night (and no other reason what-so-ever) I would put money on it being a factor of the misattribution of arousal paradigm. And that will absolutely mean crash and burn later.
But I think that’s not going to be the case at all. I think much more highly of Jeff than that, and I DO NOT TRUST (in bold, glowing, flashing caps) Ms. Blake right now. I think she means bad news for Derek.
This isn’t a prize for Derek- this is a Kate Argent level mistake waiting to happen.




These are all good things to remember, because Jeff Davis doesn’t do things the normal way.
Remember how it seemed like all of fandom was stressing out beginning of season 2 about Derek being out of line with how he treated Erica and Isaac and being arrogant and how that was AWFUL that the writers didn’t know what they were doing and trying to say this arrogance was a good thing? But then we saw that this was all part of Derek’s hubris arc.
I feel like this is the beginning of good things that are terrible things that are amazing things to watch in terms of character growth.
lokiloo has been dropping hints all over the place (like about Deathan) and she said that Blake is a survivor. I’m just all wiggly with the possibility that Blake could have known already at least a little, or maybe even part of whatever shenanigans Deaton and Morrell is part of, or, HAH, MAYBE EVEN A SURVIVOR OF THE HALE FIRE THAT LOST HER MEMORY.
Wouldn’t THAT be a kick in the balls.
…wait. 8 hands reaching out…
Uh.
I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT DUE TO INTERNAL SCREAMING.

I LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT DUE TO INTERNAL SCREAMING.

lots of de-follows and lots of new followers.

Let’s just get this out of the way so ya’ll might know if you actually want to stay.

My Potentially Annoying Tumblr Habits:

  • I have a queue but I tend to post in bunches
  • I reblog a lot of ‘signal boost’ tagged posts involved social justice issues
  • I ship Sterek and reblog a lot of that
  • I like bottom!Derek, and I like my Sterek to switch
  • I am a fan of bisexual Stiles, to the point where I would sometimes stop reading a fic if he’s written as purely gay… though I will keep reading if Derek is bi
  • I really like what they’re doing with Allison this season
  • I write long meta at times and pretty much refuse to ‘read more’ because I hate it when someone on my dash ‘read more’s
  • I forget to tag often unless it’s the simple tag ‘teen wolf’ or ‘signal boost’ and I never know when to spoiler tag so I’ve given up mostly
  • I will write about questionable/problematic Teen Wolf things that needs addressing at times and sometimes I engage people in discussions that pertains to these topics
  • I’m shipping Derek and Blake until further notice
  • I don’t particularly care for Isaac
  • Sometimes I YOLO and I have a hideous sense of humor
  • Sometimes I stick my foot in my mouth

[AGGRESSIVELY SHIPS ERICA WITH LIVING]

xbellicose:

dean-winchesters-my-unicorn:

My fucking ship is sinking.

Sterek.

Derek is gonna fall in love with the fucking teacher.

And Stiles. Stiles is never gonna fall out of love with Lydia, and now Jacksons out of the picture so we’re fucked.

Damnit.

I’m a fucking Captain bitches. And a good one at that.

Every good Captain goes down with their ship.

Don’t fret, fellow Sterek shipper!

Ms. Blake is pretty much confirmed dead by the end of the season, and Lydia will be shacking up with the straight Alpha twin, who looks to be staying for the foreseeable future.

All is not lost!

(For those of you wondering, one of the twins posted something about giving a farewell gift to the Ms. Blake actress. That and when does Derek ever get nice things that last? And JD has given hints about Ethan legit falling in love with Danny and two alphas sticking around for season 3B, and the twins are the likeliest candidates for that.)

I honestly want Blake to part ways with Beacon Hills because she wants no part of the supernatural and is making smart choices with her self. I want it to be a gut-wrenching breakup like they did with Dexter and Lumen where they were just going different ways and they’re still fond of each other but in the end not going in the same direction AND BEING ADULTS ABOUT IT.

Also the way Stiles have been acting around Lydia increasingly moves her towards bro-like actions rather than putting her on a pedestal. Just contrast Stiles from s1.

marielikestodraw:

gyzym:

but wait, what if the murders actually don’t have anything to do with virginity, and the fact that all the victims thus were virgins is a total coincidence that stiles only latched onto because he spends so much time thinking about his own virginity that it’s his theory for everything? like, what if this isn’t even the first time. what if he’s spent all summer being like “A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, HUH, DAD? ARE YOU SURE? WERE THEY VIRGINS?” while the sheriff made concerned faces and tried to figure out how to ask melissa if scott ever suggested that the reason the pizza place got their order wrong was VIRGINITY GONE AWRY. what if poor scott, who only wants to be the best person he can be and not let anybody get killed, is still dealing with this in six months? “no, stiles, we solved those murders. they weren’t even about sex at all, remember? could you please — please stop asking people whether or not their cherries have been popped, bro. it’s super weird. nobody likes it at all.” 

UGLY LAUGHING EVERYWHERE.

but then again she also looks like a more innocent, brunette version of kate argent to me so maybe i’m off base here

aggybird:

swingsetindecember:

i want derek hale to have like the cutest tattoo ever. like on his hip. and it’s a secret. and it shows how much of a marshmallow he is 

The form asks Do you have any distinguishing marks? and Derek chews the pen cap and thinks about it for a second and writes: Yes. Two tattoos. 

He figures that will be it.

——

“You know you sign your name under a little box that says the information you have provided is truthful to the best of your knowledge,” Stiles says, flopping down next to Derek and tossing a sheaf of papers into his lap.

“What?” Derek asks. Dog the Bounty Hunter has just apprehended someone on TV and Derek is still getting used to surround sound. It continues to freak out his hearing.

“Your application,” Stiles says.

“I’m not actually a felon,” Derek says. “It asks if you were ever convicted. I wasn’t.”

“Not that part,” Stiles says. “The thing about your tattoos.”

“What about them?”

“Them? Them? What do you mean them?”

Derek sighs. “I have two tattoos. Which one?”

Stiles sputters. “You do not have two tattoos. You have the mystical werewolf back tattoo and that’s it.”

Derek raises an eyebrow. “You’d be the expert on my body then?”

Stiles’ face flushes dully. “Obviously not. But I have seen you half-naked and dying often enough to be pretty certain.”

“There you go,” Derek replies, turning back to the TV.

“What does that mean?” Stiles demands.

“It means you’ve only seen me half-naked. The tattoo is on the other half.”

Stiles’ eyes take on a glazed expression. “Which part of the other half? Are we talking embarrassing butt tattoo? Left cheek? Right cheek—? No, it’s not the right cheek, that harpy shredded your pants last fall.”

Derek lets out a low grumble. He still doesn’t like talking about that.

“Stiles, leave it alone.”

“I am insulted. You have known me long enough to know that I am constitutionally incapable of following that directive. I am wounded, wounded to my very—”

“It’s on my left hip,” Derek snarls. “Now drop it.”

“Oh, I’ll drop it, buddy,” Stiles mutters, subsiding. “I’ll drop it like it’s hot.”

Derek has no idea what that means, but he figures it’s nothing good.

——

“Really, Stiles?” Derek says, sighing heavily. He stops unbuttoning his jeans and turns to his bedroom window in time to hear, “Oh, shit!” then a series of crashes and yelps.

When he leans out the window, Stiles is sitting in the bushes, rubbing his lower back and scowling.

“I’m calling the cops,” Derek says. “There’s a man outside my house. I feel unsafe.”

“You’re such a dickhead,” Stiles says. “I think I broke my spine.”

“It matches your broken brain,” Derek replies, shutting the window.

He makes his way downstairs and heads outside. Stiles is still sitting in the dirt, and he does look a little banged up.

“What are you doing!” Stiles says when he sees him. “You’re giving the neighborhood a show!”

Derek glances down at his bare torso and half-unbuttoned jeans, shrugging. “So? C’mon, you’ve got a cut on your face.” 

He tugs Stiles to his feet and tries to usher him inside. Stiles is moaning the whole time. 

“Oh my God, this is not good for my rep,” Stiles says. “You’re leading me into your den of iniquity and the neighbors will talk. You look like you got interrupted, okay, interrupted doing carnal things.”

“Stiles, shut up,” Derek says, almost fondly, and pushes Stiles inside. Then he leans back out his front door and raises his voice. “That’s right, boy, take off your clothes.”

Sure enough, Mrs. Pritchard closes her curtains with a gasp and Derek can make out the electronic sounds of a phone being dialed.

“You suck,” Stiles says. “Emotional distress. You should tell me what your tattoo is to make me feel better.”

“Go get the bandaids,” Derek replies, shutting the door.

——

“Derek,” says Sheriff Stilinski.

“Sir,” Derek replies. 

“Your first shift is next Monday. You can come in for your uniform fitting this Wednesday.” The Sheriff twitches a little when he says it.

Derek sighs. “Is Stiles going to try to sneak into the fitting?”

“He’s driving me crazy,” the Sheriff says all in a rush. “Put him out of his misery, why don’t you? He walks around the house talking out loud about what it could be. I don’t need those kinds of images about my new deputy.”

Derek massages his temples. “If we keep giving into him, he’s always going to be this annoying.”

The Sheriff sighs and rubs the back of his neck. “Derek, believe me when I say that there’s no win for either of us here.”

Derek believes him.

——

“You really seem to want to see me naked,” Derek says mildly, pulling off his sweaty tank top and tossing it on the bench. 

“Eep,” the locker behind him squeaks.

Derek towels his neck dry. “Should I read something into that, Stiles?”

The locker is suspiciously silent.

“I’m going to head home now,” Derek says, pulling out a clean shirt from his gym bag. “The Zumba class lets out in five minutes. You should probably be gone by then. They can break your neck with their thighs.”

——

Stiles is pretty creative, and Derek can only take about two months of that creativity before he heaves a deeply irritated sigh, hangs up his gun holster, and pulls Stiles out of his hall closet.

“How do you keep getting in,” Derek asks no one in particular, tossing a struggling Stiles over his shoulder and trudging up the stairs.

“Your security is really lax for a newly minted deputy,” Stiles says, the words punched out of him as Derek’s shoulder digs into his gut. “I’m just—oof—alerting you to its flaws.”

“I wish someone would have alerted me to your flaws,” Derek says, pushing his bedroom door open with his foot.

“Please,” Stiles scoffs, “You love my—Derek, why are we in your bedroom?”

“Yes,” Derek says patiently.

“Yes what?”

“Yes, I love your flaws.”

Stiles is wide-eyed. “It’s finally happened. I’ve crossed into a parallel dimension.”

Derek groans out a laugh, scrubbing a hand over his face. “I’ll make you a deal: You show me yours, and I’ll show you mine.”

“I don’t have a tattoo,” Stiles says. “That’s totally not fair! Fine, I’ll go out and get a tattoo, you asshole, and when I get back—”

“Stiles, get in the fucking bed and get naked,” Derek growls.

Stiles mouth snaps shut. For about three blissful seconds.

“I never want to leave this dimension, holy God.”

“You are such a pain in my ass,” Derek says. “I’m gonna get some stuff from the bathroom. Be in that bed and ready when I get back.”

“Nnngh,” Stiles replies. 

That’s pretty satisfying.

Derek takes a deep breath and steps into the room. He gives Stiles a second to take it in.

Stiles makes a garbled noise.

“Is that… is that a Care Bear?”

“It was a dare from Laura,” Derek says, folding his arms and leaning against the doorframe. He’s a little insulted that he’s naked and Stiles is too busy staring at his tattoo to appreciate the rest of him.

“It’s… Derek, it’s Grumpy Bear.”

“Yeah,” Derek says.

Stiles launches himself out of the bed and wraps his arms around Derek, kissing him full on the mouth. “I love you so much,” he says.

“That’s nice,” Derek replies, his hands going to Stiles’ hips. “If you tell anyone, I’m going to rip your throat out.”

“Are you kidding?” Stiles says. “This knowledge is mine, all mine. Now get in that bed, I need to lick you in a lot of places, including that tattoo.”

“Fair enough,” Derek says, and tumbles them down to the bed. 

——

Of course, because it’s Stiles, things are never that easy.

“Care Bear Alpha Stare!” Stiles shouts, and dissolves into honking laughter. 

Derek is in love with an idiot.

I WAS THINKING OF A CAREBEAR!!!! OMG AGGY, I LOVE YOU

We’re all familiar with the “fuck or die” trope. Now it’s happening on Teen Wolf. This is disconcerting.

The characters who are virgins are being told that they have to lose their virginity or risk death.

This choice invalidates consent.

Consent…

Okay so like. We’ve been talking about things coming in threes. So I don’t even get why everyone is on about characters being pressured into dub con sex to avoid being murdered seeing as how the three virgins necessary for the sacrifice are ALREADY DEAD.

Like, guys. Seriously. Teen Wolf is not a procedural cop drama. I don’t know why everybody is worried about more virgins dying as if we’ve got some run of the mill serial killer on the loose. We should be worrying about WHATEVER THE FUCK GOD OR MONSTER THAT RITUAL JUST SUMMONED.

dude, that would be hilarious if that was the next episode, where Menfolk are running around being Concerned About Virginity and making plans—

Meanwhile Allison Argent is slaying the Fenriswolf.

So I enjoy Ms. Blake. She seems (seemed) like a chill, wholesome type of gal that would be really lovely for Derek and his endless shitstorm of a life. I’m a Sterek shipper through and through, but I can separate fanon and canon, so I am (was) on board with Derek/Ms. Blake if that’s where they’re going.

But that scene last night…

I mean really?

First of all, Derek almost dies and is almost forced to kill his recently-thought-to-be-dead little sister and the beta he was willing to die trying to save. But then he decides to leave it up to Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Scarf to get them somewhere safe so that he can go check on some random teacher? When has Derek ever cared about anyone outside of his pack? Call it character development if you want, but since we’ve seen nothing to indicate this development, I call bullshit. Would it have not made more sense to let Scott go get her, since she knows Scott and also didn’t see Scott turn into a wolf man, unlike Derek? 

And then Ms. Blake. Sees three wolf people fighting. One wolf guy gets torn to shreds. Then said wolf guy approaches her all cut up and bloody and she… takes his hand and smiles? What even… who does that?! I get that Derek is extremely attractive and she was in shock, but if a wolf man approaches me, I’m grabbing the nearest heavy item and swinging. 

So I dunno, I want to like Derek and Ms. Blake together, but that scene was very suspect. She seemed wayyy too cool with the whole situation. I’m guessing either she’s something supernatural (and probably the one sacrificing virgins) or she’s being brainwashed/controlled by someone else. I have no theories on Derek’s behavior. 

If she turns out to be a normal human and I have to chalk this scene up to poor writing, I will be very angry. Cause if she’s not supernatural, that scene was seriously awful. Like straight up Twilight tween romance shit. 

So in summary, I went from liking Ms. Blake to finding her very, very suspect.

As for the Sterek fans vs Ms. Blake fans debacle, my philosophy is simple:

I am sorry but Blake pretty much kept her head despite her fear, didn’t scream, and was as chill with finding out about werewolves as Stiles is AND FINALLY THERE IS A FEMALE CHARACTER WHO ACTED LIKE I MIGHT ACT.

Like I DO act in crisis situations. Wait and see and evaluate.

Also I’m so tired of females screaming you have no clue.
