According to JD, Teen Wolf is dead in the water. Tyler P isn't willing to give up, he's still fighting. But JD has tapped out.
Part of me is glad it's over. They really screwed the pooch with that movie. It had a few brief moments of beauty, like giving us Eli, DILF Derek, and Sterek as canon (even if it was only one side confirmed). But in the end, it was a dumpster fire.
The other part of me wants it to continue for at least one more movie just to be vindicated in what I've been saying since that sacrilege blasphemed my television; Derek isn't dead! But I know it in my heart. That's the important part.
Now, I won't have to worry about another movie that will further destroy what I still hold dear about Teen Wolf. I will have fanfic, and my own writing, to give me the ending I wanted. We are still here, we are still a community, and we still support each other. And that's a beautiful thing ❤️

I don’t get people who don’t understand why people ship Sterek. If these looks were between people of the opposite gender, it’d be quite clearly romantic interest.
Do you remember when Scott thought that Derek died (s03e05) and he wasn’t able to heal because he felt guilty for his death?
Well, after Allison helps him to heal, one of the first things he says is: “Stiles, where’s Stiles?” even if there is no reason to believe he is in danger. It’s like Scott’s last promise to Derek was to keep Stiles safe.
(◡‿◡✿)
I’ve always believed that (until season 4) it was Derek who acknowledged and understood his feelings for Stiles (Stiles was just…well…Stiles. Kinda lost in his Lydia world, wondering about his sexuality). Scott knew it though, like every body else in the pack, simply because Derek made it very clear to them:
But he tried so hard to keep him away. For so many reasons:
1) Stiles is a “child”
2) “I killed my first love”
3) “people I love die”
4) Trust issues
5) He knows and respects the feelings Stiles has for Lydia
“Sometimes the shape you take reflects the person that you are. Even Stiles calls her cold-blooded.”
6) He loves Stiles’ smile. And he knows how dangerous and painful a relationship with a werewolf can be.
But nobody can deny that Derek is totally in love with Stiles, because:
1) He makes him smile:
2) And makes him act like a baby (because he had to grow up so fast that he’s still a child in so many ways, SO BASICALLY WHAT STILES GIVES HIM IS WHAT HE NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO HAVE):
(come on, Derek. No one believes you)
3) This little, defenceless human is a hero, a BAMF and he’s not afraid of him
4) this BAMF is kind and funny and brave and full of love
5) He dreams of him
6) no words needed
7) Derek kinda freaks out every time Stiles is in danger
8) COME ON THIS SCENE
And then, finally, it looks like Stiles understands something (and, yes, it looks like our ship is going to become canon)
BUT…Season 3B. Stiles literally loses his mind (STILES WHAT ARE YOU DOING)
While Derek’s still totally and madly in love with him:
And the Nogitsune knows it:
But then season 4 comes, and while Derek finds a distraction (okay, totally fair)…
…Malia decides that Stiles is her mate:
And then Stiles finally gets it:
Because when you’re losing someone…
…you understand how much that someone is important to you.
And how many lies you told yourself,
how many chances you missed,
how many kisses got lost forever,
and how many “I love you” passed over in silence.
But what’s meant to be will always find a way.
You can call it Fate.
I like to call it Sterek.

Stiles moving slowly closer to Derek
I don’t know why I noticed this, maybe because even though Stiles was shouting at Derek mere moments earlier, when Jennifer enters the room, a clear threat, Stiles seems to subconsciously move steadily closer to Derek until at the end their arms are almost touching. This just says so much to me about the level of trust between them.
What are your thoughts about Derek and Stiles summer (pre-S3A) theory? Do you think it was the spark that led to realization of feelings along the track or one of the main eye-openers for them among other things?
Ah, the summer of ‘11 :)
A glorious time of unknown happenings that has inspired many a fanfic and headcanon. So what do we know about that time and how the characters spent it?
Or that isn’t entirely true. We know that he’s been behaving in the eyes of his dad, he’s got nothing on him. We also have indications that he’s not been spending any significant amount of time with Scott this summer
Scott: Yeah. I kind of needed something permanent. Everything that’s happened to us… everything just changes so fast. Everything’s so, uh… Ephemeral. Stiles: Studying for the psats? Scott: Yep. Stiles: Nice.
If he’d spent much time with him, he’d probably know that Scott was busy with that. Stiles seems surprised and impressed.
And of course Derek and Stiles, and even Stiles and Peter, seem much more relaxed and at ease with each other. I think it’s a very valid theory to think that Stiles has been hanging around helping them search for Erica and Boyd.
Derek is much more playful and openly amused with Stiles
They seem to silently communicate with eyes and eyebrows
There’s the whole conversation about the alpha pack being in town where Scott is up in arms, and Stiles - who is usually very vocal about stuff like this - seem unsurprising, defensive and awkward. Averting his eyes, crossed arms - that guy knows shit!
Stiles is more prone to touch him - something Derek hates and in the first couple of seasons - in fact it usually ended like this
But now we have touching and banter!
And let’s not forget that Peter seems half amused/half exasperate with them when they banter, like this is nothing new and why don’t they get a room already. While Scott looks shocked and surprised.
Also did I forget the wink? I forgot the wink!1!
So yeah, lots of little hints that suggest that Stiles spent a significant amount of time with the Hales, and probably Derek in particular.
And when asked about what Stiles did that summer, this was Jeff Davis’ response
How many feelings were awakened during this time is hard to tell. But it certainly did put them much more at ease with each other, and I’d say the trust has escalated. Later that season Stiles was the one allowed to comfort Derek when Boyd died, Derek trusted Stiles with Cora when she was sick, Derek went a little crazy when Stiles ran at Voltron Twin with a bat, Stiles’ teary eyes seem to break the spell Jennifer had on him, and Stiles once again came for Derek when he was out cold. It was a very sterek season, so yeah, I think it was definitely an important step in their relationship.
And Derek seems miles ahead of Stiles, who I don’t really think knew how he felt for sure until the end of 4x12.
Stiles sits on a bar stool in Derek’s kitchen. He’s just managed to get Eli to sleep. Or pretend to sleep. Who knows? The kid’s most likely still silently crying on his bed, turned away from the door, from the world that no longer has his father in it.
Stiles can’t blame him.
He holds a paper in his hand with long-dried ink, hand-written, speaking of farewell favors that make him want to scream and cry and leave.
Damning Derek (at least in thought), Stiles tries to read through the tears.

Hey Stiles,
If you’re reading this, then something must’ve…happened, and I’m not able to ask you this one last favor in person. For that, before anything else, I’d like to say I’m sorry.
I’m sorry I let whatever happen happen. I’m sorry I’m asking you this in this way. And I’m sorry for asking what I’m about to ask.
If you’re reading this, then that means I am no longer there. It probably means that despite my best efforts, the universe has decided to play its tricks again and I have left Eli an orphan.
I know what it’s like to grow up without a parent. With nothing but hurt, fear, and anger surrounding and driving me. I do not wish the same for my son.
___________
Then be here, you asshole.
Stiles has to pause to clear his vision.
Be fucking here, he begs. Derek or the universe, whoever would listen.
In the responding silence, he continues on.
___________
So here’s the ask. Stiles, please.
Stay with Eli.
Raise him like I would. (Knowing you, you’d probably raise him better than I ever could.)
Take care of each other.
I’m sorry to say it here, like this, but I want you to know. You two are the most important people in my life. More than anyone, Stiles. More than you might ever know.
The both of you are also the fiercest people I know when it comes to protecting the people that you love. Be the family that I know you can be for one another.
I wish I hoped I didn’t want things to be like this. It’s been years, I know. It’s taken me awhile, but I have been trying to make myself better. I have been working towards making myself deserving. Of you, Stiles. Despite everything, even when Eli came into my life, for me, it had always been you.
You have always had a place in my home. In my family.
I really wish I could be telling you all of this in person. I…wish for a lot of things when it comes to you.
I wish I met you elsewhere. I wish I bumped into you at a bookstore, and we started all this with nonsense quips and your endless wit. I wish I met you in a cafe where we would get off on the wrong foot with you judging me for my coffee order.
Really, I just wish I had a life with you. Something better and kinder. But only because that’s what you deserve. To be completely honest, I would be happy to have any life with you. Even this one, as fucked up as it is. As long as it was with you, and Eli.
I’m sorry I say all this too late. It’s selfish and cowardly. I know, Stiles. I know.
If it’s too much, please, feel free to forget about me.
Please, just. Take care of Eli. Take care of yourself.
Yours,
Derek
___________
It’s all Stiles could do to fold the letter with shaking hands and take a deep, unsteady breath.
He wipes angrily at a stray tear on his cheek, glaring at the stupid papers still held delicately in his hand.
Derek’s last words.
With a flick of his wrist, the letter catches fire mid-air.
Fuck that. I’m bringing you back, you asshole.
Like I’m supposed to believe this is the guy who plays Derek Hale. NOPE.
That last one killed me.
I’m finding it difficult to respect the Alpha right now.
“Respect your alpha”
“Lol nope.”
… Is anyone else wondering if this might be what Derek would’ve been like if there had been no Kate and no fire, if he’d just been allowed to grow up like a (mostly) normal person?
OHMYGOSH, WHAT NO? I WAS HAPPY, AND NOW I AM CRYING. WHY???
For real, though, can’t you imagine Stiles, like, accidentally getting shuttled to an alternate universe or something, where the fire never happened and all the Hales are still around, and Peter’s not crazy, and Derek is like this? And he’s trying to figure out how to get back to his own world, his own timeline, but he doesn’t know how. And after a while, he’s not sure he even wants to. Because it’s not like anyone would really miss him back home; Scott’s spending more and more time with Isaac now, and Stiles’s dad has always liked Scott better, he’ll take him under his wing and have the son he wishes he had, and maybe people will think it’s weird that he just suddenly disappeared but it’s not like he’ll be a hole in the heart of the town, or anything.
And meanwhile, in this world, people are flipping out over him because the Stiles that belongs here disappeared years and years ago, he’s presumed dead, but now apparently he’s back. Stiles’s mom is still alive (and you see, Stiles knew it, he knew there was some sort of cosmic balance thing that happened there, that if he’d died instead she wouldn’t have), and she and his dad are happy. And Derek Hale is like an actual approachable person, who is apparently convinced that Stiles is his mate, and is being ridiculously adorable about trying to woo him, and OH GOD HELP THERE’S NO WAY THIS CAN POSSIBLY END WELL.
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING? WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT?
‘Cause see, it can’t end well. Not at all. Because the real Stiles, from this alternate universe, he’s still alive. He ran away because he got bit, he’s a werewolf. He was out of town visiting his grandparents in Wyoming and he got bit by some rogue pack, okay? And he kept his distance, disappeared off the grid and has been dealing with werewolf shenanigans elsewhere for years.
Then suddenly, he gets wind that there’s this OTHER STILES? He’s in his old life, taking it over, and no. Absolutely not. He didn’t stay away all these years just to have some shape shifter or changeling RUIN EVERYTHING and hurt his family. So he has to come back.
And he is totally dark!Stiles by this point. You know he is, with his bat and his claws and his talent for making the people who piss him off end up dead. And now he’s going back to Beacon Hills to deal with this doppelganger and of course he’s going to meet the Hales, who he never thought about before, and there’s this soft, kind, happy version of Derek just waiting to be eaten up by someone like dark!Stiles.
…I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING SOMEONE STOP ME THIS IS YOUR FAULT MEL.
ACTUAL PTERODACTYL NOISES, OMG YES, THAT ACTUALLY MAKES THINGS ABLE TO END WAY BETTER.
Because of course, Derek would step in to keep this rogue omega from killing his mate, and this is the closest human!Stiles has ever seen him get to the Derek he knows and loves. And then there’s confusion, because werewolf!Stiles sure as HELL recognizes his mate when he sees him, and is even more hell-bent on killing the imposter now, who was going to take his mate. And Derek is adorably confused, because he’s getting the same feeling from both of them—more strongly from werewolf!Stiles, but that’s only to be expected, what with him being another wolf and all. Although he really doesn’t see why they can’t work this out where he gets to keep both of them, that really seems like the best possible solution. Meanwhile Stiles is proving who he is to his other self by relating stories about Scott from their childhood, because Scott is a freaking universal constant, recognizable no matter what the world around him may be.
And then human!Stiles is all forlorn, because he has to find a way back now. This isn’t his world, it isn’t his life, and it just figures that the version of him that gets the better deal won’t even appreciate it. And meanwhile Stiles has to go back to the world where he doesn’t even matter, where Derek barely tolerates him and everything is broken, and it’s just … it’s not fair. Because all the troubles of this world seem to have been concentrated on this other version of him, and he was never given that option—he’d willingly be broken himself if it meant his friends and family got to be better.
Plus he has to watch this nice, kind Derek who actually likes him fall in love with someone else, even if it’s just another him, and god, this whole thing just really, really SUCKS, and Stiles freaking hates faeries, okay? He’s gonna kick their ass when he gets back home.
LKSDJFLKDJSF
Oh god, and by the time he does get home, when Stiles and Derek 2.0 help him track down what he needs to get back, he’s just ready to go. It physically aches to see them together, to see the way this Derek works so hard to make the other him happy, to fix all the things that are broken. God, and he can’t even THINK about the way Derek’s whole family pulled together to try to give werewolf Stiles stability and direction and *pack*. Why oh why can’t that be him?
But as much as it hurts to go back to a world where he doesn’t matter, he knows staying would eat him up from the inside out. And Derek doesn’t say anything, just gives him a reassuring smile because this guy isn’t actually capable of conceiving a world where things won’t work out. In his mind, bad things may happen but it’s still okay because family fixes it. Because this Derek’s always had a family and that’s his reality.
But the other Stiles knows, and he just says, “It helps if you can at least pretend to forget.”
He nods and swallows against the sick feeling rolling in his gut and his werewolf self steps back and Stiles unwraps the pendant they stole from the faeries and as soon as his skin touches the metal, he feels a tug behind his navel. He can’t help but think of apparition from Harry Potter and it makes him feel insane and grounded all at once. And then he’s standing in the middle of the forest alone. He’s home.
YOU ALL BROKE MY BRAIN!
But he’s not alone. Not at all. After a moment Stiles hears people approaching, calling his name. And before he even knows, he’s surrounded by werewolves. Scott, Derek, the whole pack are there. They have been looking for him. They never stopped.
And then Derek is in front of him. He doesn’t say anything, doesn’t even touch him. But for a moment Stiles can see relief in his face, and he can’t help but smile. Because maybe, just maybe, he does matter, after all.
let’s talk about derek’s reaction to a gun being aimed at stiles
