Scott McCall in the Triathlon and Isaac Lahey in Rock Climbing
This was so well done.
I was just thinking about something that keeps returning in fandom...
People acting as if Scott somehow thinks in black and white, while Stiles to them thinks in shades of grey, which they translate to 'is willing to kill'. And it's just such absolute nonsense.
A big part of the issue here that I've noticed, is something fandom often loves to ignore. Namely that from s1 on, Scott was most often the one being attacked, the one forced to deal with life or death choices. While Stiles, still got to keep seeing death as something abstract, something that happened, but wasn't a decision that he personally had to make. Stiles wasn't forced to resist the urge to kill, he didn't have some force in his head try to make him kill people, and in the early seasons, he was a foil for Scott. Someone who didn't have to face the choice between life and death. For Stiles that responsibility did not come until s3b.
Scott didn't have that privilege. Even as early on as s1, when Peter tried to control him, he was forced to feel what it would be like to maul and possibly kill someone he cared about. It might have been just a dream, but all too soon he had to find out it was a dream based on reality. the reality where Peter tried to make him kill someone. And it took all of Scott's will power to resist doing so.
And then not long after, Peter forced Scott's darkest instincts to come up, making him actually want to kill his friends. A experience that clearly horrified Scott. Because he'd already had that feeling in the first two episodes of the show, where his instincts made him go after Stiles, his best friend.
So when Peter sent Derek after Jackson, for Scott, that wasn't some abstract notion, it was reality.
It wasn't just people trying to kill him, and the fear of that, but the fear that he himself might kill others. Which is why in s5 to him, the worst thing to happen to Liam would be for him to have to live with having killed Scott. Not for Scott's sake, but for Liam's...
For Scott, killing isn't some black and white bullshit, it's real, it's a way of ending any and all other possibilities for a person.
When Scott refuses to kill, it's not because he believes in black and white, or good and evil, it's because he doesn't.
Because he knows that just because someone is an asshole, or does bad things, that doesn't mean they're evil, that doesn't mean they deserve to die. Because he believes in shades of grey. because Killing and Death are not just funny abstract threats, or exaggerations, it's something real, and it's not a decision that should be taken lightly.
Stiles can argue for killing, since he's never expected to be the one to do the deed. He can ask Scott to "consider letting [Derek] die," or to "kill Jackson, problem solved," because he's not the one who has to bear the responsibility.
Now admittedly, it's not that Stiles had no idea of how dark things really were, not after the end of s1. he'd seen dead people, Lydiaβs mauled body made it more than real. His willingness to consider killing was more from powerlessnessβ¦he didnβt see many options to stop the killers without killing them. After all, in S1 his first instinct was to have Derek arrested and it didnβt work, so he suggests murder and killing, but still never has to actually make the choice to commit the killing himself
Not until s3b, and even then Stiles choice was 'lock himself up' or let the Nogitsune kill. The same choice Scott already had to make in s1.
Fandom likes to pretend Stiles could easily kill the bad guys, when the reality of the show is that when Stiles did accidentally kill, in s5, it devastated him. Because just like Scott, he came to realize that killing is final, killing is destructive, and doing so should never be a first solution.
Both Scott and Stiles had to make these choices, both of them came to the same conclusion, and that's something fandom loves trying to ignore.
"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess
How are we doing today ladies. Are we still losing it. Are we going completely insane
Need me a supervillain gf that makes me ride her thigh while she monologues to the hero, and if they pay too much attention to me she makes me stop until they start listening to her <3 Ignoring all my whimpering and begging for her cock until she finishes her speech, killing the hero at the end and having her henchmen drag them away. Then she breeds me to celebrate her victory, using my bunny ears as handles while she pumps my cunt full of her cum
I love reading fanfics! Then I gain consciousness
