Youve Been So Brave

“you’ve been so brave…”

Rooftop Vigils

Whatever you might think of my "aggressive" attacks on Anti-Scott Sterek and Steter shippers, you have to remember how absolutely aggressive they have been when it comes to twisting the narrative of the show to make Scott a terrible person.

If you listen to them, you will think that Scott obsessed over Allison in Season 1, and one of their favorite pieces of evidence is Scott "stalking" Allison by hanging out on her roof. They take one particular instance of that behavior in Formality (1x11) and they describe it as a habit, and a particularly damning one. This is why they think he's a bad friend to Stiles, because the scene before it, he disagrees with Stiles as Stiles is expressing his desire to see Derek dead, but somehow also use it to show Scott's hostility to Derek, because he states he needs Derek to stop Peter from hurting Allison.

This appears in content all the time. Think of the number of shitty Sterek/Steter shippers who have their Fanon Stiles scold Scott for "stalking" Allison and neglecting what he should be paying attention to. But this requires them to forget the menacing scene at the beginning of the episode where Deaton protects Scott from Peter. On his way out of the Animal Clinic, Peter delivers the same threat he and Derek delivered in the locker room when they violated Scott physically and mentally.

Peter: There are other people who can help me get what I want, Scott. More innocent and far more vulnerable.

Scott: Allison.

So, Scott's not mooning on top of Allison's roof because he likes to sniff her hair (though I'm sure he does); he's doing it to protect her. Peter has threatened Allison directly, and he is not going to stop; he will creep on her at the mall later that same episode. Yes, there's humor in the scene because he falls asleep and falls off the roof.

But this is why people thinking Scott is a terrible character, because they've twisted his desire to protect his innocent girlfriend who has no idea about werewolves or the Hale Fire, from a deranged serial killer who has already threatened him and everyone he cares about. And then they call him a bad student because his grades suffer because he has to do this.

And they know that the production meant this to be heroic. They know it. Turning what the production meant into the opposite is the same thing they do when they insist "Scott is a terrible friend!" to Stiles, but will not -- most likely cannot -- explain what they mean by that. But they do know that Scott protecting his girlfriend from a hot white man who wants to murder her is not what he should be doing.

Damn right, I'm aggressive.

I think I’ve realized my favourite OT3 dynamic is “my babygirl boyfriend went and caught feelings for that sadboi, so I guess now he’s OUR crush”

Scott never knew he really liked bowling until his and Isaac’s third date was at the bowling alley. The pizza was greasy and it was a cheesy date spot; but Isaac always smelled like sunshine when Scott was being a cheesy romantic. Without using powers, both boys needed to have the ramps up and never figured out how to do anything fancy. But noticing Isaac’s brow scrunch in determination before swinging and barely hitting six pins down, made Scott heart leap as Isaac started cheering, jumping around their lane, before beaming a big beautiful smile towards him. Scott loved bowling.
