teen wolf

[naushika]

YUP another teen wolf post on your flist, lol.

I am so beyondddddd unhappy. Like, no. Nononono. This is not okay.

Allison is my favorite TW character, ok? Lots of people hate her. DON'T CARE. SHE'S MY FAVE. And while I always loved everybody on Teen Wolf (until recently, because now the twins are there and Peter is always around and I don't like them. Why are there so many asshole badguys around? Why??), through it all there was always ~*~*ALLISON~*~* and as long as she was there I could stand the Bland Twins etc. I'm not being coherent but LONG STORY SHORT my favorites keep fucking DYING while ASSHOLES get to stick around.

I'M NOT OK WITH THIS

Yes, I know Crystal wanted to leave. But why did she want to leave? Could it be partly due to a pattern of shittiness, maybe? Maybe Crystal wanted to leave on her own terms before Allison was character assassinated, like some others have been. :P

I don't hate everything about Jeff Davis now. Apart from the actual death scene which was dumb as fuck (sigh), the episode did give Allison kind of a nice send off. I loved the scene with her and Papa Argent talking about graduating, casting the molds, etc, and Allison wanting to cast an arrowhead, and telling her dad how proud she is of him. That was a GREAT scene. And I am going to keep that in my heart forever because in my new headcanon after she cast her arrow and ~graduated, she and Papa Argent were like LOL FUCK THIS TOWN BYE and rode off into the sunset.

I really think the magic is over for me with Teen Wolf. I try not to be the table-flipping fan who's like I HATE THIS SHOW NOW and.. I don't hate it. (I'm going to finish out the season at least.) But I don't love it anymore either. Allison was the glue for the show for me. I saw a LOT of myself in her over the seasons, and her arc was always the most interesting to me. She's just.. my fave! And now she's gone. And I tried to think of other characters or stories I REALLY care about enough to watch solely for them and I couldn't. I like a lot of characters, but none even come close to Allison.

I had fun while it lasted, Teen Wolf. But. We're over, now. *flounces out of fandom*

Goodbye perfect precious archer queen of my heart :(

I've been feeling a bit,... disconnected from the show this season too. Like there was a bit in the middle there where I really cared but the "they're going to die mwahahahaha" stuff started to grate and then idk the storyline just went off the boil around about "here's loads of stuff about characters you don't care about" and then they killed another girl while the twins got saved and I'm just.... I think I'm going to just hang around my "no archive warning apply" "everyone lives" Teen wolf AUs and disconnect from the show some more. I just don't need this in my life, I don't need a show that keeps killing characters I like and letting bad men live to skulk around being creepy/pointless. They don't even do anything with the men who get second chances anyway!! Peter, Gerard, Deucalion, the Twins, what was the point of them living instead of dying? Like, what are they actually doing with their second chances?

[naushika]

+1000000000 to everything you said!!

Peter's sole purpose seems to be to hang around wearing v-necks and being grossly creepy towards Lydia. That's been bothering me a lot lately especially, Peter and Lydia. I don't like it. And yeah, Gerard, Deucalion?? WHY? I forgot how confused I was that Deucalion got to live. Made no sense.. so upsetting. And the fucking twins. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM. Sigh.

I just don't know what this show is doing anymore.

I just don't know what this show is doing anymore.

Writing a "story" solely designed to make buff men that the behind the scenes people think are hot look angsty and fight a lot preferably with minimum shirtage going on?

Peter and Lydia are so creepy. I don't understand why people write fics of them. Or why the characters even involve him, except that all the grown up werewolves are dead and Derek clearly hadn't finished his werewolf training before they did. But, honestly, if I was in their situation (which I'm clearly never going to be) I'd be actively looking for other packs who are sympathetic to the Beacon Hills' pack's plight (but like compfortably situated like on the other side of the country so that they're not a threat) to get advice from, or at least pool resources. Although considering that Stiles was their primary researcher they've been a bit stuck this year. Saying that they need to stop just listening to the dubious characters every time they need information. Peter is always up to something. Kira's mom is not a trustworthy source.

How did Deucalion not die again? I'm completely forgotten. Like.... did he get healed or something? I honestly can't remember and it was like six months ago. He sent Braedon to rescue Derek and Peter at the beginning of the season.... has he even been mentioned since?

lol yeah :( I think that's pretty much the whole goal here, at this point.

Peter and Lydia are SO super creepy. I don't get it either. There are SOME trustworthy people to turn to, like Deaton, but they always seem to go to Peter first..?? IDEK. I would never call that guy, ever.

Deucalion lived because Scott just randomly spared him. He was ready to do the death blow then he was like "oh just go, Deucalion." Sooo frustrating.

[aryas_zehral]

What if the point is to spur Scott into killing Not!Stiles and thus losing his TrueAlphaNess because he killed a person (at this point in time that seems to be his main thing, not killing people) which then reverts to the last person who was the Hale Alpha (and didn't give it up): Peter. Seems farfetch but would tie into Peter's "I am the alpha" nonsense. And then next season can be about Scott and Lydia having to kill Peter and get Scott the alpha powers back. I mean this seems a terrible idea, but it would seem very TWy.

[naushika]

That seems like a VERY TW-y type of plot. I can totally see that happening on the show, actually.

[aryas_zehral]

Man that would so make Allison's death worth it (LIES!). grumble

It does though, doesn't it? I hope its not even vaguely accurate.

[geonncannon]

Well, from what I read, the actress was the one who made them take this direction. She wanted off the show and... yeah. :)

[mfirefly10]

Your thoughts are my thoughts, basically. Only I never quite got into this show the way most people did. I liked it a lot and I've grown to love most of the characters, but it was never MY show, you know? So I guess that makes it easier to let go of it now that my bb is gone.

[naushika]

You're definitely lucky! I got super obsessed with the show for a while there haha. But it definitely doesn't feel like my show anymore, that's for sure. Sigh.

[goodbyebird]

Yep, I've gone right ahead and flounced out of any fannish activity regarding Teen Wolf. Fortunately tumblr has already gone and articulated all my thoughts for me, so the cathartic venting was no effort at all ;)

[naushika]

hahaha, Excellent :D

[geonncannon]

BOO. This is how I find out there's a bad ass archer chick on the show? Tsk.

[naushika]

:( Sorry, I knoooow! SHE WAS SO BAD ASS TOO!

the



BEST




She also had one of my favorite lines of the entire show..



*WISTFUL SIGH*

[slumber]

Urgh, this. SO MUCH ALL OF THIS. I mean I actually love Stiles more, and Scott, and Allison, but in different ways. But they were the core of the show for me, even if I knew the core of the show for the creators was Scott and Stiles and their fifty white dudes. And even though I got tired of the plot holes and the useless threads, even though I had trouble with how they handled certain topics or addressed other things, onscreen or off it, I stayed, because somehow, somehow, they were making it work with at least a few of the characters.

Allison was one of those for me. Her arc has been my favorite. I LOVE that she's strong and weak, girly and badass. I love that she makes mistakes and redeems herself from them. I love EVERYTHING about her and I know Crystal wanted out, but you're right. The reasons she did weren't exactly acceptable either, and even if those weren't true, there were actors who'd wanted out before and got written out of the show without having to die. Was death the best way to end her story? Maybe, and if I were looking at that episode in a vacuum I might even be okay with it, but the thing is, I am just sick of the pattern of treatment that characters end up getting from the show.

So I'm with you, I'm done with the show. It was okay at times while it lasted, but I'm not going to stick around past this season. Especially since I know they're just going to treat Kira as a replacement Allison and not even give her the respect of her own storyline, and I like Kira too.

[timetobegin]

Its not just this, but its the cherry on the top. There are a few things that make me a little :/ However i would have lived with it for sure if they killed isaac instead of Allison (and you can't convince me that one of the reasons wasn't Crystal wanted to leave because she had to work with her ex-boyfriend who served no purpose and she had to make out with him all the time)

I was spoiled before the ep, too so i dunno. The problem isn't so much that i'm pissed about the death, because people die on shows all the time, and she wanted to leave, but the reaction on tumblr, and all the reasons why a female death SUCKS and also the fact that her death is overshadowed by both these things, so people are either just arguing about jeff being the worst (not helpful) or how this doesn't COMPARE to jackson/the twins/gerard/erica/blahblahblah. or oh at least it wasn't DEREK OR STILES OR...someone on tumblr was like AT LEAST ITS NOT ISAAC. i'm sorry but no.

so instead of being able to be properly upset about this, its just you're either a)overreacting or b)everything is overshadowed by EPIC RAGE OF EPIC which is not really where i'm at?

i dunno, my feelings are a mess because ARGH ALLISON WAS ONE OF MY FAVES but so is lydia and stiles and scott and derek, but she was one of the only two girls
and i loveee kira but if she's a replacement i'm like :/ and then apparently she's getting a spin-off?

UGH i'm just going to stop talking.
lol

[naushika]

Yeah, cherry on top, exactly. I feel like I see things more clearly now, haha.

and you can't convince me that one of the reasons wasn't Crystal wanted to leave because she had to work with her ex-boyfriend who served no purpose and she had to make out with him all the time

Good point.. I shipped Allison/Isaac but as things went on I couldn't stop thinking about how they were EXES and then SEX SCENES were going on and I was like omg this must really suck for the both of them. It's entirely possible that was a big part of it

Yeah the fandom backlash on both sides is the wooooooorst. I'm just so tired of TW fandom is general sighhhh. "At least it's not Isaac"? Ughhhh.

so instead of being able to be properly upset about this, its just you're either a)overreacting or b)everything is overshadowed by EPIC RAGE OF EPIC which is not really where i'm at?

OMG EXACTLy. I'm not EPICALLY RAGING either.. I'm just really sad. Especially because if everything else on Teen Wolf was fine, then I don't think I'd be quite as upset as I am? This is just the latest in a string of sad annoyances.

I like Kira a lot and her replacement-status just sort of makes me upset because god damnit there is never just another girl added to the cast, she's always a plot device or a replacement. And Kira has had some neat backstory but if you boil it down to the basics, it's nearly the same as Allison's - girl comes from a long line of secret society fighter types.. KIRA DESERVES BETTER.

A spinoff though, whaaaaaat? I don't even..

LOL. I know. I just don't even want to think about this anymore. I want to withdraw from it allllllll

[timetobegin]

yeah, it was a weird ship because it never really...had proper scenes? i don't know, there were just like random scenes.

the fandom makes this really hard because i don't want to be one of THOSE PEOPLE but also i have legit complaints? and these are actually legit complaints, and fans that stick their head in the sand kinda annoy me a bit sometimes? like its ok to watch something and know its not great. but to say there isn't sexism on the show is just ridiculousssssssss.

Yeah same. like, stiles isn't the same. scott hasn't really had much to do, the twins suck, peter is great but still frustrating he's even alive, season 3A was only ok (i did like it, but i do think its the weakest 12 eps so far) i hate that the tease the fandom/the fandom 4th wall is broken, and ia;lskjf i just am meh.

i don't know if i'll give up teen wolf, (CAN I??!?!?) but i will really think about it. i mean its not like my ratings mean anything to them. BUT I GAVE THEM LIKE, 20% OF THEIR RATINGS DAMMIT (maybe an exaggeration :D)

[geckoholic]

ALLISON. ;____; She was one of my faves too. But to be quite honest, the shits I had to give about TW mostly evaporated this season anyway, so I'm not even ragey about it. IDK, one less reason to stick with the show or something. ://///

And I agree, the fact that Crystal left without a concrete offer is somewhat suspicious.

[naushika]

I totally get you there. I've just been questioning myself why I'm watching anymore, at this point. I'm so unhappy about how things have been going. Sigh.

[geckoholic]

Same here. I'm actually watching with a friend, and she's the main reason I still bother. If it wasn't for her, I might've not even have picked it back up for 3B.

[colls]

So I finally broke down and watched this episode.
Yeah, sad. So many things were bad about what went down and so much in the episode didn't make a lick of sense (more so than usual, IMO).

[naushika]

Yeah :( I agree, nothing about the episode made a ton of sense. TW feels like it's really gone off the rails!
