perhaps there is a monstrous origin to it, after all. — ocean vuong

#twedit #scottmccalledit #scottmccallweek23 #scott mccall #teenwolfedit #hiiiiiii #shaky camera tw #for the last gif #anyway i think there's a lot to be said about rafael vs peter #the intimidation and the violence #rafael didn't throw scott down the stairs on purpose but he grabbed his wrist and tried to hold him in place #and peter holds scott down by his head #the way rafael demands scott behave the way he wants vs the way peter forces him to #i wish they had committed to a characterization for rafael because they get so weak with what they implied so heavily before was awful #and it's a genuinely interesting parallel to peter #the way the supernatural world raises the stakes by a million #rafael wanted a son and peter wanted a beta and neither of them were happy with the way scott filled those roles #because ultimately to rafael and to peter those roles meant subservience #if you grow up with an angry man in your house there will always be an angry man in your house #to get out from under the thumb of one just to end up under the palm of another #i'm your father / you're a gene donor! vs you were never an alpha you were always a monster #the way peter telling scott it was his bite that changed his life and his bite that can end it #echoes a father telling his son he should be grateful to have been born at all #the way scott says then END it peter because you won't get another chance in the s4 finale #and the way scott's dad is gone after s4 #it could've been sooooooo interesting
