insane how many st*rek fans are also p*dia fans this sure is unrelated in any way shape or form

Why is Teen Wolf obsessed with giving Lydia shitty love interests? You’ve got Jackson who treated her like shit, pedophilic Peter, Aiden who committed multiple murders, and Parrish who albeit a sweet guy, is also a 24 year old while Lydia is 18 at most. 

And don’t even get me started on Stydia which is an insult to both their characters. Two characters of opposite genders can be just friends, you know.

1, 7, 31, 50? :)

1. What was the first fandom you got involved in?

I think it’s actually Teen Wolf? I just made my blog about a year ago, although I do reblog Star Wars stuff too, so I guess they’re probably tied :) My first fic I ever published was for Star Wars, but the first fic I ever wrote was for Teen Wolf.

7. List your notps from each fandom you’ve been in.

Jydia, Pydia, Marrish, anything that ships Lydia with someone who either has abused her or is overage or both, Stalia (I will admit that they had cute moments but a lot of the way their relationship made me angry. I feel like if Malia as a character had been handled better in season 4, I would be a lot more indifferent to Stalia.) There are a lot of ships in Teen Wolf that I’m particularly indifferent to, but most of the things I flat out hate are just Lydia being shipped with people that have straight up abused her. 

I’m scared to put Sterek on this list because it’s so popular, but I will say this for them– I love their dynamic on the show, and their scenes are always so good, but I just can’t ship them romantically because of the age gap. I never really saw them that way on the show anyways? (I’ve always been a sucker for Stydia, what can I say.) I think in au fics though their relationship can definitely work that way, if the fic is done well. 

And a bonus one for Star Wars– Reylo is gross. Aside from the fact that they are definitely related, Kylo straight up abused Rey, okay. Get that away from me

31. What’s the nicest thing someone has ever said about your writing?

Someone told me once that my writing always sounded so effortless and beautiful and I think I literally cried. Also any time anyone tells me that Pas de Deux is their favorite au I gain like ten years on my life

50. How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction?

I hope you’re ready for this story, because it’s WILD

I got into reading fanfiction because I was looking for the sneak peek of Mark of Athena that Rick Riordan always posts for the upcoming PJO and HOO books. I somehow instead stumbled upon a “The Percy Jackson Characters Read The Lightning Thief AU” on fanfiction.net. I don’t think I even really knew what fanfiction was before that. I then proceeded to read exorbitant amounts of Percy Jackson fanfiction. There was a period where I read a ton of Harry Potter too. I lowkey don’t remember how I made the switch over to Stydia fanfiction. 

For writing fanfiction– I completely, 100% blame The Force Awakens. I, like, had the briefest ideas of a Teen Wolf Star Wars au in my mind for someday if I ever decided to write fanfic, because I used to write original stories all the time when I was younger, and I’ve always loved to write. But then I saw TFA and the Star Wars au just wouldn’t leave me alone. So I started writing it. I finished the New Hope rendition in March of 2016 and told my sister that I had written something (she reads fic too, so she gets me.) I kept working on the Star Wars au without really publishing anything else until I saw the thing for the Stydia Big Bang and texted my sister like “Idk should I do this I really want to?” and she was like “I’m offended you even have to ask just do it.” I made my blog then and wrote Pas de Deux, and now here I am! 

Ask me about my fics!

spash4life replied to your post: Teen wolf & b99!!

The fact that people legit ship Peter and Lydia irks me to this day

RIGHT?! He mentally and emotionally abused her for WEEKS. But lol the actors have such great chemistry.

Fuck that.

Peter Yes!  Steter No!

And we can add Sceter and Pydia to the NO! List.

Not only is it shipping a middle-aged man with teenagers, which should make you highly uncomfortable, but it is also shipping a man who committed kidnapping, assault, and attempted murder with his victims (and that’s ignoring the MIND CONTROL).   I have seen fan fictions where this is done well, i.e. it doesn’t ignore the power imbalance, the terrible history, and the necessary abuse that such a relationship entails and it also allows time to pass until the teenagers have grown into adults.  In other words, I have seen fictions that don’t give me the urge to take a shower. 

But here is something that you may not have considered -- it isn’t fair to Peter either. 

I have sympathy (not empathy) for Peter Hale.  It doesn’t matter to me that he wasn’t a very nice person before the fire -- very few people are totally nice or even moral.   He certainly didn’t deserve to be burned alive.   And the show and Ian Bohen did an excellent job of saying “Hi, my name is Peter and my scars may have healed but I am damaged beyond repair.”   The sass that many people love so much is simply his inability to feel empathy for other people. 

Many of the stories I read have Peter mostly recovered from his insanity of season one and pretends season four did not exist.   But even then, I would have to question -- why would Peter want to spend time and effort on the people that reminded him of one of the darkest periods of his life?   If he’s ‘recovered’ why would he want to spend time with these kids whose lives he’s ruined, who are living monuments to the death of his family and the revenge he pursued?    What’s the good in it for him, even if he is a damaged monster?  It strikes me as self-flagellation.

I am much more sympathetic with Peter/Chris shipping.   I like the symmetry, especially when it implies that they knew each other before the fire and have to grapple with what life has done to them.
