allison argent doesn’t owe you shit, okay? but she does owe herself something, and i’m hoping that’s what next season’s redemption arc is all about. because allison is an awesome badass who did gymnastics and is a kickass archer and takes no shit from stupid boys, but she’s also a seventeen year old girl with a warm heart who cried when she accidentally hit a dog with her car in a rainstorm. sometimes i think about that allison, the allison that was a fucking wreck in the animal shelter because she accidentally hurt another living creature, and i think about how that girl and her giant heart and the guilt she must be feeling now, after she went a little mad with grief and tortured her peers, shot them full of arrows and smirked when they begged her to stop. i think about the woman she is and the monster she became and i don’t want her to be redeemed in the eyes of the viewers, i don’t want stiles or scott to forgive her for her actions, i don’t want her redemption arc to be about other people. i want it to be about her. because allison argent? she doesn’t owe anyone shit. but she sure as hell owes herself a little absolution.
