why is this video SO insanely Stiles&Erica coded?? 😭
Like I can FULLY picture Stiles randomly breaking into acapella at the worst possible moments and Erica immediately matching his energy instead of shutting him down. And somehow it evolves into them remixing songs, changing lyrics on the spot, and communicating through increasingly unhinged musical bits.
It starts small...
Isaac says something sassy/sarcastic → Stiles sings it back mockingly.
Erica harmonizes.
Scott is confused.
Boyd looks exhausted.
Derek regrets everything.
Peter is just delighted.
And then suddenly the entire pack has accidentally developed a collective vocal stim response system.
Like—
Someone needs patching up after the monster of the week, and as soon as the words “needle and thread” are spoken, Stiles immediately starts:
🎶 NEDDLE AND A THREAD GOTTA GET YOU OUTTA MY HEAD...🎶
Jackson yells “SHUT YOUR MOUTH” at someone and there’s just two seconds of silence before Erica quietly goes:
🎶 AND RUN ME LIKE A RIVERRRRR 🎶
Derek gives an Alpha order and one of the betas mutters “okay dad” under their breath and suddenly, Stiles AND Erica:
🎶 MUMMY DON’T KNOW DADDY’S GETTING HOT— 🎶
AND. THEY. JUST. KEEP. DOING. IT.
Stiles starts songs impulsively, but Erica is the one who COMMITS. Full volume. Full dramatics. Zero shame.
Meanwhile Lydia secretly finds it hilarious, Scott tries to stop it at first but eventually joins in, and Derek slowly realizes this is psychological warfare specifically designed against him.
SOME SONGS THAT WOULD ABSOLUTELY DESTROY THE PACK DYNAMIC:
Stitches — Shawn Mendes
River — Bishop Briggs
Unholy — Sam Smith
I See Red — Everybody Loves an Outlaw (Lydia wears red once and suddenly it becomes her accidental entrance theme. Nobody says anything at first, but eventually the entire pack pavlovs themselves into humming it every time she walks into a room looking even remotely lethal.)
Don’t Stop Believin’ — Journey (Absolutely weaponized against Scott after the “I’m the hot girl” incident. It always starts with someone [Isaac] quietly singing '🎶 just a small town girl— 🎶' and the entire pack immediately loses it.)
Good as Hell — Lizzo (I just know Erica sings this every time she tries on a new nail polish)
Anyway someone PLEASE write the crackfic where the pack slowly loses their mind because Stiles and Erica keep triggering each other into musical bits every time they hear song lyrics in normal conversation. I need these two unhinged psychos to live up to the MENACE DUO they truly are.
