The best part about this photoset is that OP selectively forgot that Scott agreed to work with Derek in Season 1 and Derek broke his promise at the dying moment, afte Scott and his friends basically saved his life and hand-delivered and incapacitated Peter to him. OP also forges that seconds after Scott’s comments in the top gifs, Derek refused to see reason. Seconds after that Gerard buried a knife in his gut and threatened his mother in one breath. Derek still refused to see reason.. one episode later. And despite his hurt look in the lower gifs, DEREK WAS STILL KEEPING VITAL INFO FROM EVERYONE.
Scott doesn’t owe Derek squat in collaboration
I will never understand why Derek Hale fans feel like Scott was/is obligated to follow Derek’s orders and why they think he’s an asshole for standing up for himself. Derek is nothing to Scott. They’re not related, Derek’s not the boss of Scott. Scott is of no obligated to treat Derek as an authority figure because he’s not his authority figure.
I also forgot that when Scott says he'll work with Derek as a pack that Derek agrees to do it Scott's way, I also forgot that that I'm pretty sure that Derek killed Peter to protect Scott from the alpha pack that he obviously knew was coming, I also forgot that Derek was not raised to be an alpha, Laura was, so obviously he's going to make mistakes - like thinking keeping information from Scott was going to protect him, I also forgot that Derek saved Scott's life from Allison's mom because he felt he was pack and he protects his pack even though Scott doesn't feel the same way. I also didn't add that Scott never told Derek that Gerard knifed him and threatened his mother. Maybe if he had, Derek would have helped him.
Derek doesn't trust easily because his whole family was burned in a fire by his psycho girlfriend and his own uncle killed his only other living relative. And when Derek finally chose to trust Scott, Scott still doesn't trust Derek, even after he does save his life. Scott knew Derek was still keeping things from him, yet he still told Derek he'd be part of his pack, so it's not like Scott went into it blind.
FYI, I'm not just a "Derek Hale Fan", I'm a Teen Wolf Fan, and that includes all the flaws that every. single. character. has, because let's face it, neither Scott or Derek are perfect.
I would have loved to debate and talk about this instead of feeling people talking around me and making me feel like crap. I always thought the Teen Wolf Fandom was better then that. Perhaps I was wrong.
