So. Teen Wolf, huh?

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

*eyes ravurian eyeingly*

I started watching Teen Wolf just...let's see here...three weeks ago. I completely dismissed it based on all the obvious things--its title, its promotional images, its general air of dumbness. Really, I need to remember that "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" sounded just as stupid in its day.

Now, TW is not quite Joss, but I gotta say after this week's episode "Battlefield" that it's starting to think about approaching that standard. I have mainlined all 23 extant episodes--several of them twice--in the past three weeks, and have lured vampirefan into the pack. I am reading fanfic. I am considering writing fanfic. You know how rare that is.

I know everyone else is already watching it, so I won't prose on. I just want to add that the sixteen-year-old in me has a huge crush on Jackson, the thirty-year-old in me is hot for Derek, and the timeless winged being of my soul adores Stiles.

Stiles is Willow and Giles and a bit of Xander all rolled into one perfectly heroic best friend character, played by a boy with a beautiful face and his heart on his sleeve, and I just love him so.

(And so does Derek. All the fic says so, and I agree.)

More Stiles is definitely a GOOD THING.

There were a bunch of clips and .gifs of similar interviews right around Comic Con time. The entire cast was like that. It was awesome to read some of the things they said. Of course I can't find them now, though

OMG don't hook me up. I just spent half an hour down the rabbit hole of Tumblr.

only a half an hour? I'm in awe of your fortitude, I get lost for hours and hours at a time on tumblr.

It was a wrench to leave, I don't deny it.

I am impressed! I find tumblr equal parts amazing and utterly frustrating. Yet still I stay. But, it is responsible for my interest in Teen Wolf, so there is that.
