During my rewatch, noticed how in the episode where Scott is feeling such guilt over Derek's apparent death that his body is refusing to heal, one of the words Stiles is quizzing Scott on is anachronism and how it seems relevant due to this episode being inter spliced with flashbacks.
And of course, I cannot NOT mention the BRILLIANT scene with Allison hallucinating Victoria. Her mother telling her to approach the problem unemotional and clinically, echoing Gerard who told her to attack the situation from a place of strategy vs emotion. How Allison is fully aware her mother wasn't a flawless person but still loves her and as you stated once, chooses to take strength from certain aspects of her. I have no doubts Victoria genuinely loved Allison and her always pushing her to be "strong" knowing the world(s) they occupy and what's expected of women in their family. And here she is, struggling to save the life of the same boy her mother tried to kill to keep her safe and ended up taking her own life because she was bitten. The love was definitely genuine, I could see it as Victoria tried to talk to Allison one-on-one but was told she was busy but rather than be upset she was disappointed and chose to die in her bed to be close to her.

One of the things I love so very much about Teen Wolf is how it was willing to push the boundaries in its storytelling conventions. One example of this that I've talked about before is the idea that it grounded its perspective in the experience of teenagers, none of whom were occult scholars, so some of the supernatural things they witnessed simply went unexplained. The adults who understood these didn't teach them the intricacies of the supernatural world either because it allowed them to manipulate the teenagers, as in Peter's case, or because they thought that the teenagers should be allowed to be teenagers, as in Deaton's case.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, sometimes it didn't work. They weren't successful when they focused an entire season on a character's absence (6A) or when the story's surprise reveals frustrated the audience rather than disoriented them, such as the Dead Pool's computer towers. On the other hand, I'd much rather watch a show which tried new things and fell on its face than one that stayed conventionally predictable.
But Frayed (3x05)'s experimentation with non-linear storytelling did not fall on its face, mostly because it used the fractured narrative to highlight essential aspects of individual characters that could get lost in the plot. It also helped that it dropped the audience enough hints to suggest that they not spent too much effort on the narrative mechanic and more time on what the mechanic brought to the story.
There were two hints. The first was that particular word that started Scott's vocabulary quiz --
Stiles: "Anachronism."
Scott: Something that exists out of its normal time.
The second was Lydia's textbook: Thermodynamic Asymmetry in Time. This is one of the basic building blocks of the universe: certain functions only go in one direction.
In my opinion, these point to the show -- there are certain characteristics (both positive and negative) that Scott and Allison show that are not dependent on events to motivate them. They exist within each character, and not only as a response to the horrors around them. By breaking up the narrative, we can isolate those particular traits.
Scott: It is this episode that I find definitive proof that Scott is motivated primarily, and forcefully, by compassion. The events of previous seasons came at Scott, he had to react to them. But in this case, the event has already came and went: Derek is dead. We see that Scott has compassion for Derek, perhaps too much as it becomes guilt, and that he is unwilling to use it as an excuse not to take action. By seeing his reaction to Derek's death before we learned the particulars of it, we can see he doesn't feel this way because he's being forced to by expedience. The deed is done; Derek is dead. There's no necessity for Scott to have to feel bad for Derek or to take responsibility for the aftermath. It is part of his nature.
Allison: For her part, I find this episode a refreshing statement that Allison may have been shaped by her parents but she's not their puppet and that Gerard's manipulation of her was an anomaly and not a real flaw. Without the burden of the linear narrative, we see Allison accept the teaching of her mother, which helps her save Scott from his overabundance of compassion, but she we also see her reject the teaching of her father (which, ironically, he is also rejecting). Allison, outside of the flow of events, is and will remain her own person. She's not being pressured to help because of external expectations but by her own internal concept of duty.
By randomizing the audiences experience of this particular part of the narrative, Frayed separates Scott from the pressure that certain events create in characters, allowing us to see that they are the way they are not only because of where they find themselves, but the way they act on the inside.
As you can no doubt guess, I'm very pleased with how it worked in this episode.

actually the 3x05 finchel dinner scene is great as it provides ample subtextual evidence towards lesbian!rachel bc finn forcing rachel to unknowingly consume meat when she’s vegan is just foreshadowing to later in the episode when finn will force rachel to take a different kind of meat that she also doesnt want inside of her

As much as both characters get on my absolute nerves since late S2, I'll always be annoyed at how easy Kie can say such shit about her parents to JJ's face & not feel a single smidge of shame
JJ who's mom left him, who's dad left him after years & years of abuse & neglect
Sure the Carreras are a real piece of work but they mean well. They're all very hot-tempered but they all care about eachother. They just need to sit down & listen truely to eachother. There is still a relationship to be rebuilt. If only they were capable of thinking before speaking
The Maybanks have however utterly failed JJ at every turn in his life. There is nothing in my eyes that could ever redeem them to me for the mistreatment of their son. They can go to hell!
For that I'll be more resentful of her than him for the time being

The Dragon Prince Whumplist
Tumblr media
Character: Callum (voiced by Jack DeSena)
Age Rating: TV-Y7 (FV)
Show available on Netflix
Genre: Animation, Found Family, Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Synopsis: In the magical land of Xadia, magic comes from six primal sources: the sun, moon, stars, sky, earth and ocean. When human mages create a seventh kind of magic -- dark magic -- they start capturing and harvesting the unique magical creatures they need as ingredients, which sparks a war between Xadia and the Human Kingdoms. Three kids from opposite sides of the conflict -- two princes and an elven assassin sent to kill them -- discover a secret that could change everything and decide to join forces and go on an epic journey. That trek could be their only hope of ending the war and restoring peace to both worlds. (Via Google)
Notes: This show is GOOD. If you like ATLA, you'll enjoy this. It gets progressively darker and more violent as the show goes on, so fair warning for that. The relationships between the characters are amazing, and there's also great diverse representation! I highly recommend.
TW's: Violence, mild blood/gore (audio/visual gets worse in later seasons), death, child abuse/neglect, child endangerment, emetophobia (very mild), mild torture

bold = most whump, best whump, or favorite whump scenes

There's an intense intimate scene around the 33:14 mark for 3x05 so I'd advise skipping over it if you're not comfortable with it. So take this as a trigger warning for something sexual (don't really know what to categorize it as) and I believe someone used a tw r*pe attempt as a warning to that scene or for even another scene in an upcoming episode. This surprised me and made me uncomfortable, so if you don't like sexual stuff or romantic stuff (it honestly might be assault I really don't know) like this then I highly advise you skip it

Fuck I'm so sick of tw racist fandom
I bet the only way they could ever respect Scott is if he died for any of the white characters, because that is the only thing characters of color are good for (i will never forget or forgive what happened to Boyd), there aren't here to be representation to us, fans of color, they're just here to give importance to the white characters
I swear to every deity, so fucking sick of this bullshit
Twelve fucking years of the same
Sorry if this is just gibberish but im so fucking mad right now
Thanks for appreciating Scott and call out the racism in the fandom
Tumblr media
Some observations:
You have a right to be exhausted. You definitely have a right to be furious. These people despise what happened on the show, but instead of simply finding a show they do like, they've spent 12 years slandering the eponymous lead protagonist. And not just ignoring what he did, and not just hating him (and his actor), and not just twisting everything the character did in canon, and certainly not twisting canon into some unrecognizable white-boy fantasy. They've deliberately and maliciously ruined the fandom experience for those people who are actually fans of the show!
But you are actually wrong when you say "the only way they could ever respect Scott is if he died for any of the white characters." Because Scott certainly tried! In Co-Captain (1x10), in Raving (2x08), in Alpha Pact (3x11), in Letharia Vulpina (3x19), in Status Asthmaticus (5x10), and even in Face To Faceless (6x14). Scott literally takes actions that could cause him to die for white characters who have tortured, blackmailed, and betrayed him. He does it TWICE in the movie.
Let's just take Frayed (3x05) for example. Out of guilt and fear, Scott won't let himself heal to the point that he stops breathing in a rest-stop bathroom. So far this season, Derek has insulted his friends, hit them, treated Isaac like shit, and betrayed Scott by turning Scott's peace conference into an ambush. And Scott is still so distraught at the idea of Derek's death that he's willing himself to die.
And before people quibble with my analysis, let's have an expert weigh in.
Stiles: All in his head? Because of Derek. He's not letting himself heal 'cause Derek died.
This puts these racist anti-Scott fans in a pickle, because one of their big things is Stiles is Always Right, so that means that Scott was willing to die for Derek, but that can't be true, so that means Stiles is wrong, but Stiles can't be wrong ... the only way for them to solve this conundrum is to pretend it doesn't exist, making them shut down like defective Hate-Bots.
They have to perform this magic trick quite a bit, because Scott does it again in the very next episode! He may be under the influence of wolf's bane in Motel California (3x06) but he still is about to burn himself alive for white people. The only thing -- the only thing! -- that stops him is that burning himself alive would kill Stiles too.
Scott: There's no hope. Allison: What do you mean, Scott? There's always hope. Scott: Not for me. Not for Derek. Allison: Derek wasn't your fault. You know Derek wasn't your fault.
And yet, no matter how many times he's willing to lay down his life for these white characters -- for Jackson who blackmailed him; for Derek who beat him and manipulated him; for the Sheriff who tried to abandon him in Mexico and then put the barrel of a gun over his heart; for Stiles who lied to him and sold him out, etc. etc. -- it's never going to be enough, because, to them, that's what characters of color are supposed to do. Just as they don't see anything wrong with Boyd dying for Derek, they don't give any credence to Scott repeatedly risking his life for white characters. Don't just listen to me; read the multiple analyses of Hollywood's obsession with making characters of color caretakers of white characters.
No, the anti-Scott racist hatred wouldn't go away if he actually died for a white character, because, in the end, it doesn't really matter what Scott did or didn't do, what Scott did or didn't say. The origin of this vile entitlement is that the show Teen Wolf had the nerve to be about Scott McCall and not an array of acceptable white alternatives. Scott could have let Stiles and Peter and Derek walk him around in a metaphorical leash (or an actual one as has been portrayed by this poisonous fandom) and it wouldn't have made them like him. The only way they could bring themselves to even admit that Scott McCall wasn't so bad is if the television show hadn't been about him, and they are too cowardly to confess why.
BUT IT'S NOT RACISM.

Valevans fic masterlist
In chronological order (though all within their own pocket realities)
within series
Doctor, Deputy (Explicit, 1.519 words)
summary: If his blood heats up in a rage at seeing Evans leaned so casually against the desk it has absolutely nothing to do with the dopey smile on his face, or the way he absentmindedly spins his cowboy hat in his hands.
It has everything to do with Max being in his territory and slacking on his job.
content warnings: explicit sexual content
Tumblr media
Damn Valenti (Teen, 1.032 words)
summary: Kyle has been dating Max secretly for some time now, and just convinced him to attend Taylor Swift night at planet 7
content warnings: none
Homegrown (Teen, 796 words)
summary: Max had of course rolled his eyes, to the extent that anyone would. They lived in New Mexico, his house was in the literal desert. But Kyle had grumbled something about college and tomatoes growing on a balcony in New York. Then had proceeded to show up at his place with wood and too many bags of soil.
content warnings: none
Lover (General Audiences, 713 words)
summary: Kyle has to face being his boyfriend’s primary caregiver while his heart is failing
content warnings: major character death (cause Max is dying, but he doesn’t die in the fic)
Use Me Absolutely (Explicit, 2.606 words)
summary: There’s an indistinguishable something burning in his stomach at every stupid word out of Max’s mouth. Each time his lips wrap around something even more ill timed and ridiculous, Kyle has to refrain from grabbing at him. From digging his nails in and making Max feel the same chaotic pain that flares through his chest when Max talks.
“You said you wanted to see this through,” Max says stupidly. Like Kyle had meant ‘this’. He’d meant he wanted to save Max, not help him implode the last remaining pieces of his life.
“This isn’t what I meant okay?” Kyle says exasperatedly, pinching the bridge of his nose.
content warnings: explicit sexual content, dubious consent
You Got Time, You’re on the Mend, Babe (Teen, 1.194 words)
summary: Set in 3x05, Max takes care of Kyle after healing him
content warnings: blood (like Kyle was impaled by a pole, so that much blood)
You and Her, Cosmic (General Audiences, 590 words)
summary: The air in the room is heavy, tension could be sliced with a butter knife. Max gulps watching as Kyle stares at the chart, his tongue darting across his bottom lip.
content warnings: none
Alien Cuffs (Mature, 1.104 words)
summary: Kyle comes home to Max after picking up his family radio from Guerin’s Grotto, them having gutted it of all the Jones centric additions. But he returns with a little something else.
content warnings: implied sexual content
'til the sunlight cracks (Teen, 1.275 words)
summary: (alternate post s3) It shouldn’t terrify him half as much as it does, but nonetheless it strikes through Max’s body cold and hollow. Fear making his mind snap into sharp focus, hands steady as he sets his jaw and reaches into the crashed vehicle.
The metal is warped and smoking.
Too many memories threatening to break his calm exterior- to snap him into uselessness. Rosa’s tires squealing before the car came to an abrupt stop, Frankie Vallette’s lifeless body being taken away on a stretcher.
content warnings: tw blood, tw car crash
I’ll Stop the World and Melt with You (Teen, 2.424 words)
summary: He’s exhausted. The kind that seems to settle over his shoulders weighing each step down before he even takes it.
Kyle’s mind was spinning out, trying to recoup and recover. Even if he was actively not thinking. He had only called time of death on two occasions. A secret third had been on his tongue once, back before the death would have impacted him on multiple levels. Before he had become accustomed to the warmth in Max’s voice when he addressed him.
content warnings: discussions of death, discussions of murder (canon murders)
The First Great Queer American Western (Explicit, 2.848 words)
summary: The door closes with a soft click as Max hangs up his keys, his smile falters at the realization his hat isn’t on its hook. It was department issue, meaning the Sheriff would have his ass if it went missing.
“Howdy,” Kyle drawls, voice thick with a fake southern accent.
—————————————————————————
aka Kyle borrows Max’s cowboy hat
content warnings: explicit sexual content
au
Swing Life Away (Explicit, 127.247 words)
summary: Kyle Valenti was part of one of those families. The ones in small towns that everyone knew. It made the pressure to be perfect even more heavy. So when three new (and very strange) teens move into town he does what his parents expect, invites them into his little friend group.
Until Liz and Alex pick up on the weird undertones that follow the Evans’ triplets around. Fires catching, lights exploding, and perfect grades.
Their old pact from elementary school biting Kyle in the ass, since once one of them invokes the code no one can back out, until they’ve investigated. Even if the last time they nearly ruined the Valenti’s marriage. And Liz Ortecho has fancied herself Nancy Drew since the third grade.
content warnings: rape/non-con, graphic depictions of violence, underage, religious content (both positive and negative), past child abuse, past sexual abuse, cults, homophobia
Treading Water (Explicit, 16.962 words) WIP
summary: Kyle Valenti’s life keeps getting more and more complicated, between working shifts as an ADN and kickstarting the private investigation business he’d pinky swore to in elementary school. All while Alex and Liz attempt to keep their own careers and finish their degrees.
The Evans triplets are struggling to find where they belong in their social circle, thanks to Max’s dumbass choices.
Anatsa Mufaro finds herself in Roswell chasing a story that will lead to the beating heart of the town and threaten to ensnare her own.
Bonnie Parker has been missing for almost a month when her case finds itself added to all of their plates.
content warnings: explicit sexual content, dubious consent, mentioned underage sex, statutory rape, past sexual abuse, past childhood abuse, implied/referenced self harm
Wanna See What’s Under That Attitude (Mature, 36.693 words)
summary: The Evans family goes to the mountains every year for Christmas, it’s their mother’s most cherished tradition and holiday. Much to Max’s chagrin he might have invented a fake girlfriend to get her off his back months back. And now has to find a doctor to pretend to be his romantic partner or ruin his mother’s favorite holiday.
Kyle Valenti doesn’t owe Max anything but the opportunity to have his rival under his thumb is one he can’t just pass by…
content warnings: explicit sexual content, homophobia/biphobia
Drunk on a Plane (Explicit, 5.865 words)
summary: Kyle almost didn’t crawl out of the house, or do much more than grab the bag Rosa had so graciously packed a few days back. He was doing this spitefully after all, boarding a plane to Mexico, all so he could post photos all over social media. Make sure everyone knew he was drinking Tequila and lounging on the beach. That the time he’d requested off work and the money he’d thrown into this vacation wouldn’t go to waste.
Prove to the world that Steph was the last thing on his mind. Even as he grumbles in his own mind about her while walking through the airport.
content warnings: explicit sexual content
