So, I made this gif to go into a set, but, the longer I look at it the sadder I get. This is such a quintessentially Stiles scene. He winks, he points, he’s snarking at Rafael McCall, he should, for all intents and purposes, be having the time of his life.
Once the wink ends though, his face just falls, he blinks and his eyes sort of blank out. I stared at this a long time before I realized this was after the scene where Kira’s foxfire jump-started the Nogitsune. This scene feels off because is it really Stiles? Either Stiles really is just worn all the way down to bare bones and is still trying to mask to make everyone else feel better, or this isn’t Stiles.
Either way, I’m very sad about it.
