Becoming the Wolf
memory form is ... something, too lazy to look it up, taken tho
1x1, 0:00-14:24
Significant Negative
- Starts off with Scott working out. He hears something outside, goes out and hears Stiles. "You mean a dead body?" ... "I'm going to play this year." What if whoever killed the body is still out here. Scott has an asthma attack. Stiles' dad finds Stiles. Scott walks alone. A bunch of deers run after him and he drops his inhaler. He finds the other half of the dead body. And then something (a werewolf) chases after him and bites him. He runs out to the street, notices his bite. "Watch the paint job." Telling Stiles about how he thinks he was bitten by a wolf and how he found the body. Macabre scenarios. Noticing his senses are heightened, sees Allison outside. Sees her for the first time. Watching Allison from a distance as she becomes friends with Jackson and Lydia. She's going to lacrosse practice. Stiles not wanting Scott to play. No longer wanting to be on the sidelines. Lydia and Allison going to lacrosse practice as Scott is put in the goal.
- This is a pretty terrifying moment in Scott's life, because before this, Scott just wanted to make a better string in lacrosse.
- Basically, he had normal desires. He wanted to be less of the weakling that he was.
- Everything changed when the Hale Nation attacked.
- In Aather, this memory is surreal because it came at a time when Scott is steadily really wanting the wolf back. Like really. He's a werewolf without any of the perks, and he hates it. So he views this as a weird reversal and he is very aware of that.
The Bus Episode.
also too lazy to look up memory form! also taken
3x5, all of the episode MINUS flashbacks (except remembering Deaton telling him to be an alpha, he sure got that part)
Significant Negative
- Being too guilty to heal. Nearly dying.
- Yeah, that's all I wrote.
- Basically, the episode cuts into Scott on a school bus on the way to a cross country meet. This is because people in lacrosse are required to be on the cross country team. Why? Who knows. I don't question it. The important part is Scott McCall is dying. He got an injury from an alpha the night before, and he's dying because Derek is dead. He's so overcome with guilt that he can't deal.
- Presumably before heading to the bus, Scott had a talk with Deaton, and Deaton was like YOU NEED TO BE ISAAC AND BOYD'S ALPHA NOW.
- This is a lot of responsibility, and it's such a removal from where he was in S1. There's a few things to note about this. Scott is someone who tends to work independently. It's not even a tendency to not burden others, he is just an accidental lone wolf who kind of goes with his heart and other people are drawn to that (in canon, of course). Where this leaves him is someone who wants to protect a WHOLE CRAP TON OF PEOPLE, but protecting is different, and he feels SUPER RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. Being an alpha, or acting as an alpha, is like PROTECTING PEOPLE IN OVERDRIVE. When he couldn't even keep Derek alive. So it's overwhelming.
- This sends Scott down the path of suicide ideation!
- The other thing that happens in this episode is this very powerful scene where Allison has to save him from, you know, dying, but Scott is unconscious for all of it.
- Scott goes out and ... finds Isaac fighting the twin alphas? (Who? Scott has no idea who they are, but he knows they're the alphas Allison talked about.) He doesn't really know who Isaac is! THIS SCENE MAKES NO SENSE IN CONTEXT SINCE TEEN WOLF FORGOT TO INCLUDE A TRANSITION but anyway, Scott does an alpha thing and stops him.
- There's a moment at the end where it seems like Scott and Allison are having a moment.
Anyway, this is a thing because it will send Scott on the path to suicide ideation. It won't be obvious! It will never come up in thread, but it may in other places. Depending on how his Aather development goes, he'll either get past it or not. Right now, he is ... kind of in a terrible place, but he's not good at mentally working through it, in that he sees himself as the problem and sees himself as weak and not being able to help and yeah. But he's not going to stop trying to help.
