Hi! I just archived binged all your Teen Wolf meta and found it pretty fascinating. I love your readings of Scott. I'm generally 'meh' on male leads, but Scott was more than tolerable in my watches and your posts helped solidify why I found him so likeable. I couldn't really find them in depth, but could you link or elaborate on your Kate feels and trans!readings of Scott/Lydia/Allison that pop up in S1 meta? I feel like there's so much ground to fic but my own knowledge and opinions are limited
oh wow um gosh (sometimes i get so bored reading my own meta i ex out like midway through major gold stars for you)
i don't know if you saw this meta -- it's not in the teen wolf meta tag but
wow trans feels i have them for all the characters. i really like trans-masculine scott (in a mostly non-binary way? like i like to imagine that he sometimes ids as "they" and other times as "he" and that's okay too and one of the ways being a werewolf helps is that wow bodies but then sometimes stiles says something like the she-wolf bit in season one and it hits him in the face because this could be an escape from all that body stuff) and i like lydia as a transwoman and agender allison.
genderqueer boyd with their own pronouns they're still trying on, trying to find the one that fits right, trying to forge and hammer out in their poetry and their wolfed out snarls and out there in the sweat and grass and heart heavy hammer in their chest in the quidditch field -- but don't tell them they need to come out because that's not what they're there for.
and derek presenting as high femme with purple rouge on his cheekbones and purple glittery eye shadow on his eyes because purple was laura's color and he sometimes paints his nails but when the claws come out they get chipped and scuffed up but he likes them like that
mmmm
as for kate feels? I feel that wow the narrative really gave her the short end of the stick! especially with peter? like i feel that the violence peter enacts towards women--lydia and melissa specifically--is normatized while kate's violence towards derek is punished in a way that peter's never is--so that already makes me kind of angry?
and i don't want to excuse kate's actions because WOW WRONG but we get so much more backstory on peter and matt and even derek to an extent but we get absolutely zip on her other than that she's the bad guy?
and idk that pisses me off
