#btw this isn't me saying all alphas need to be kind blah blah blah

a good bit of the people who say scott is too... Soft to be an alpha are basing about 90% of their characterizations about alphas from a/b/o fics on alphas who have lost their packs. there’s no set precedent about how cruel or kind an alpha has to be. the basis for that is the kind of pack they have.

#of course a good majority of the people who say this are also racist but besides them #scott built a pack before he ever got the title of alpha and derek an actual alpha at the time recognized it #clearly packs operate differently but scott's pack value him for many things one of which is his kindness??? #we've seen packs who operate with power as the mindset (alpha pack) #and packs who operate with numbers and defense in mind (derek's pack) #btw this isn't me saying all alphas need to be kind blah blah blah #as we have seen satomi seems to operate kindly but absolutely sternly #if you just wanna see people snapping at their pack and treating them like soldiers #we got that with derek idk what to tell you #scott mccall
