derek needs to be the worst or most eager matchmaker for stiles ever
OH MY GOD YES. THIS. SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN
“I have this younger cousin in Redding who also loves the Avengers. I used to loan her my comic books.”
“The barista at the coffee shop asked for my number today, so I gave her yours instead and explained that you always look over when you hear her laugh at something I said.”
“He’s hot. His muscle definition is good, and I know you enjoy that. You should go for it. He asked who you were when you came to my intramural basketball game and I told him you’re single.”
“She does have a good ass. Do you want me to go be a jerk to her so you can impress her in comparison? I can be a wing man.”
“You know what I’ve noticed is really effective? That way you rub your thumb over your lip. It would drive anyone to distraction. You should try using it as a seduction tool.”
And Stiles is just like JFC Derek I was.
More Please! I can just imagine Stiles upping his game (or you know, what Stiles considers game because Jesus, Scott, offering someone a pen is not a foolproof way to get a date and no he doesn’t care that it worked with Allison and Isaac and Allison again) because all of these things, loving the Avengers, muscle definition, being wherever Derek is, are of course about DEREK, not about using an intramural basketball game to scope out chicks.
Though that’s probably why Peter’s always there. Ugh, Peter.
And so Stiles starts wearing skinny jeans and his glasses and he sucks LEWDLY on EVERYTHING in sight and he’s constantly talking about how guys with beards are hot.
So Derek starts setting him up with the “hipsters” at the local coffee shop, except half the time the hipsters are actually hobos and it’s sweet that Derek apparently doesn’t judge but Stiles is kind of at a loss.
Like to the point that Stiles finally holds up a picture of Derek and says “This. I like guys like this.”
To which Derek says, “Oh like my mechanic. Or that professor at BH University?”
Stiles cries into his cinnamon mocha and reconsiders the whole pen approach.
Then one day after Derek aggressively glowers across the room at some guy who turned Stiles down, Stiles finally turns to him and says: “I need your pen.”
Scott goes absolutely still beside him, eyes wide.
Derek doesn’t get it, because he pats his jacket pockets and pulls out a pen, handing it to Stiles. Stiles just sits there with the pen dangling from his fingers, utterly baffled about what to do next. Scott made it seem so easy. “I didn’t want a pen! The pen is… it represents. The pen is… pen…is. Pen.is Scott, really?” And then just starts laughing with a hysterical edge to it.
Finally, he picks himself up and looks Derek right in the eye. "You see this pen? I asked you for it because I want to give this really amazing person my number. While I appreciate all your efforts to find me someone, you’re missing that there’s only really one person at the core of all of it, who encompasses everything I want and like. So here,“ he said, grabbing Derek’s hand and scrawling his phone number across the freshy part of Derek’s thumb. "Maybe you can see if he’ll give me a call sometime.”
Me:
inconsistent writing, multiple new characters with zero characterization added every season, underutilization of characters who actually have a backstory, seemingly important story lines that are all of sudden forgotten, poor or no plot building, unexplained story developments, the baiting of relationships that are never going to happen, lack of emotional connection to characters, overuse of slo-mo for scenes that aren't even dramatic, forced relationships, beloved characters disappearing (some without any reason given), the use of the writing philosophy 'It's okay if it doesn't make sense - we'll just say it's because it's supernatural.'
