Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
God, I thought Tom was better than that, you know?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Work wouldn't let me load the other site, but that one worked. Yay! How beautiful.

II was beyond pleased to see that the Scott-is-alpha-without-a-wolfpack things play out. The one Teen Wolf fan I have on any of my dashes, though, is struggling against people who are saying that Scott is an awful person and doesn't deserve this, meanwhile Derek is shitting rainbows.
I was not happy to see Boyd forgive Derek. I think Derek was *awful*. Grabbing three vulnerable teens, claiming all this "choice" thing for kids not legal to fuck or drink or vote, and, perhaps apart from the sorely underwritten Boyd, exploiting some really damaged people to get whatever he thought he needed--he's not just an incompetent, he's not good or nice. I don't understand the appeal other than how he fills out jeans (which is considerable--don't get me wrong).
I don't have enough energy to hunt down the Scott-didn't-earn-it meta, but Derek didn't earn anything--he went out and created the situation that made him an alpha. It wasn't a reward, it was a (dubious DUBIOUS) choice, And now two kids don't graduate, never mind go home to their families. The "blood on his hands" was way too literal for me, but I don't get how anyone can analytically be arguing for Derek so far.
Scott ran a plan of his own to beat the kanima/hunter thing? Yeah, I think it's weird he didn't tell Stiles, but I don't think it was shitty behaviour, not on a scale of 1 to Derek, anyway.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Well, the shitiness was in his plan involving taking a helpless Derek and forcing him to turn someone into a werewolf after pretending to be loyal to him and infiltrating the pack for Gerard, but I don't think he owes Stiles an apology over not clearing the plan with him first. Homeslice is assuming a lot of authority that no one's actually given him with regard to fighting evil/amateur sleuthing.
Derek's my favorite character, but that's because he hits the same mysterious/sinister-but-gorgeous-dick-lurking-on-the-periphery-of-the-high-school-heroes'-circle buttons that Angel installed in me 16 years ago. I can't imagine anyone comparing him to Scott and thinking the latter comes off as the morally questionable one in general.

So Tatiana Maslany didn't get an Emmy nom. I'm surprisingly annoyed (if not very surprised).
WHAT? She is superlative!
