KAITIE THAT’S JUST MEAN!!!
I was thinking about that perhaps, before the fire, during Derek’s adolescence, he meets, without knowing each other, with Scott and Stiles, during his road to Beacon Hills High school.
So guys, I was reading up on wolf facts…
“Wolves love to play, shouldering one another, bumping bodies together, flopping tails over each other’s backs, and leaping up placing forepaws around other’ necks. Play especially in pups, develops strength and hunting skills, and aids in establishing pack communication and hierarchy. The intention to play is often signaled by the gesture well known to dog owners of dropping the front quarters into a crouch position, with smiling face and wagging tail. Adult wolves stage mock fights, play chase, and leap on each other. The ambushing of unwary pack members is a favorite game.” - Wolf Country Website
So guys.
Every time we thought Derek was being a creeper?
HE JUST WANTED TO PLAY. :’(
(I wish I had the chasing-Scott-through-the-parking-garage gif. Perfect example. FEELS.)
WANTING ATTENTION ISN’T BAD
IT ISN’T BAD TO SEEK OUT ATTENTION
POSITIVE ATTENTION IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH
ANYONE WHO TRIES TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD FOR WANTING AND SEEKING ATTENTION IS A COLOSSAL DOUCHEFUCK.
Ehhhhhn….
Having worked in mental health with kids who have the target behavior of ‘attention seeking’, I can tell y’all that there are unhealthy aspects to that behavior, just like any behavior done to excess and/or for the wrong reasons.
But at the same time I agree that no one should make anyone feel bad about it. If anything, they should help others find different ways to cope with the times when they don’t get attention and find healthier ways to get attention.
do you sometimes just start reading fanfiction and you’re like

It always makes me laugh when I see Teen wolf’s gifs turned into Sterek, as though every scenes in this series are related to Stiles and Derek relationship… But let’s make things more clear…
THOSE looks, of love, want, need, passion, desire and so on… are destined to…
Not to get into a shipping war but— Scott has failed his bro so many times. At least Derek is consistently bitchy with Stiles, which is an aspect of their relationship that some fans enjoy— that adversity. Not to mention Scott has equally scared the poo out of Stiles just as Derek has.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Stiles and Scott’s epic bromance but Scott has threatened Stiles (s. 1 ep. 1) and tried to kill him (s. 1 ep. 2) and has several times left him hanging (too many episodes to count but since I’m a Sterek stan, the moment in the pool in s 2 ep. 4 comes to mind).
Both ships have problems with power dynamics and such— but both are interesting in their own ways. So, sorry that Sterek is so prevalent, I guess? But I think you’re wrong on your take on the pairing. Yes, Derek likes to powerplay Stiles a lot and be a bully, but Stiles goes toe to toe with him more often than not so the fear that might have been there has diminished greatly over time. A few scenes after that gif Derek’s just chilling in Stiles’ room reading a book (and then gets used as Danny bait) so their relationship is not as horrid and abusive and fear-based as one might think and—
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa wasn’t gonna get into this, fffff.I went through this crap with Kurtofsky already. Look, if you don’t like these kinds of pairings where there’s adversity and power dynamics involved, then that’s fine. But some people do like those sorts of ships and get irritated when people talk about it so disparagingly, like we’re all blind and stupid for enjoying it and seeing it and discussing it.
There are a million people who can explain all this better than I can in my sleep deprived state anyways, but the point is that Sterek fans like the journey, the character progression that has to occur for this ship.
So yes, Stiles is not in love with Derek in that gif. But—
…these guys might be getting there— and that’s something I enjoy watching. :)
Don’t get me wrong but Derek isn’t that perfect too. I can make a list of all these times he hit and threatened Stiles and I’m sure that it will be longer. I know that Scott hasn’t been a good friend the last season and that he has ditched Stiles several times, but there is this chemistry in Sciles’ relationship that I just don’t see in Sterek’s. I do love Stiles and Derek but…not as a couple, sure I’m loving it when they are playing together and arguing, this is REALLY amazing! But…they don’t fit together… at all. I mean it’s like putting a dog with a cat, or something like that, I don’t know…
I don’t think Derek is perfect. In fact he is quite imperfect and that is what I like about the relationship. Derek’s very wounded and distrustful of people and Stiles is more easygoing and believes in the best of everyone (e.g. his affections for Lydia despite how callous she can be and the front she puts up).
What I object to is you saying Sterek shippers are misunderstanding their scenes together and we’re seeing something that’s not there and so on. What I’m trying to portray is that someone could say the same thing about Sciles as you’re saying about Sterek. It’s not about which ship is better or worse— but it’s about being respectful when you express your opinions. What you said up there was a bit better than the first post at least. :\
