no pairing or character bashing; this is just a blog to vent about the harmful tropes and mis-characterizing found in Teen Wolf fanfiction.
- stiles does not babble
- derek does not growl
- scott is not stupid
- isaac is not a puppydog

Just a few things I’ve noticed in Teen Wolf (and for the most part, Sterek) fics. What are these you ask? Well, these are some observations I’ve made while reading fanfics, ones that have—for the most part—become uncontested Tropes. These tropes have been grossly reiterated to the point where they actually hurt the characters and the show as a result. They have also become the fanons’ “Canon” or “accepted head canon” without any proof given within the parameters of the show from which these characters spawn.
I am here to set the “canon” straight.
P.S. this post is an explosion of high photo content. Your internet connection is advised.

1. ERMAGERD! STILES N SCOTT TXT LK DIS BC THEY R TEENS LOLOLKBYE.

2. Stiles is the Pack Momma! He’s such a wonderful cook! Look how he dotes with tender loving care for his little puppies! He can even clean up after their messes and kiss their booboos away!

When male characters that have only interacted once or twice are paired together and all the female characters are erased completely.
One of the times when Derek Hale broke into a house, threatened a teenager with violence/death and fandom completely ignores it.
Or
That time when Derek clearly shows that he needs anger management/psychotherapy/the works because that shit is not cool.

I keep reading all these fics that characterize Scott like he’s stupid. The most common description is that he’s like a potato. I admit, I’ve used that description once or twice, but I was thinking last night that potatoes really aren’t that bad.
Think about it. They’re pretty unremarkable and plain to the naked eye.
BUT LOOK AT WHAT THEY BECOME IF YOU JUST TRY A LITTLE!
I feel like it’s a perfect metaphor for Scott. He was an average dude until an event happened that turned him into an extraordinary guy!
So if you guys in the fandom are going to keep (incorrectly) assuming that Scott is a complete idiot, then don’t use the potato metaphor to do it. Do it with something gross like iceberg lettuce. You can’t make anything good with that stuff.
No. Stop trying to make this somehow positive or cute. It ain’t cute. It’s ableist and hurtful no matter how you spin it or how much ~good intention~ you put behind it. In case you’re unaware that the term ‘potato’ is used as a slur against people with Down Syndrome, then please read up. Encouraging people who assume Scott is stupid to continue referring to his intelligence as equivalent to any lifeless vegetable isn’t cute either, so. No. Dear fandom: stop trying to make this ableist bullshit happen. It’s not going to happen.

When Stiles is written as a tiny little waif compared to Derek, when there’s only a couple of inches of difference between them
as you can probably tell, this is a slow moving blog. I try and update it about once or twice a week while coming up with new posts to make. submissions are opened so if you have any ideas, feel free to submit!
remember, this tumblr was not created to bash any pairings or characters. some posts that are published on here will seem that way but they are not. they are calling out the harmful tropes and mis-characterizations that are most commonly found in pairings and characters which run rampant in a lot of Teen Wolf fanfction.
anon is on and all non-anon asks will be published unless you ask me not to. if you send me an ask, don’t get discouraged if I don’t answer you right away. I have a short attention span and tend to forget to check this blog on a daily basis. that is totally my fault. if the blog is active and you’ve sent me an ask and I haven’t answered it, tumblr probably ate it as tumblr is wont to do.
so, have fun y’all and welcome!
