man. derek is such an interesting character in season 1, especially when you can look at him through the lens of having seen the whole show, because he's like an unreliable narrator for scott, even though he's not a narrator for the show.

the thing is, derek in season 1 is the primary vehicle for werewolf lore. as new viewers, we're reliant on his character to explain to us the rules and conceits of the genre, but once you've seen the whole show, that role is no longer necessary. but for scott, in season 1, derek is the sole source of werewolf intel. derek is werewolf jesus. which means that everything scott initially learns about being a werewolf is filtered through the Derek Hale Trauma Matrix, and neither of them know it.

for example: in 1x05, derek tells scott that pain is what keeps you human (which is a mantra that gets repeated and referenced a ton over the course of the rest of the show). scott has been a werewolf for all of five seconds, and has no choice but to take the word of this obviously much more knowledgeable werewolf. in that way, derek operates as a kind of narrator for scott, giving him information and context he couldn't really get any other way. but it's unreliable info. don't get me wrong - derek isn't trying to be an unreliable narrator; he's not aware of how much his life experience has colored his understanding of his own species. it's just that...well...derek is a twenty-something with the kind of trauma that eats other trauma for breakfast. of course he would say that pain is what keeps you human. at this point in the show, pain is all he has.

this is the same guy who, in the next episode, says this:

DEREK: You getting angry? That's your first lesson. You want to learn how to control this, how to shift-- you do it through anger, by tapping into a primal animal rage, and you can't do that with her around. SCOTT: [defensively] I can get angry. DEREK: Not angry enough. This is the only way that I can teach you.

except we know, and scott quickly learns (in that very same episode, in fact), that this isn't true. anger doesn't work for everyone, and it doesn't work for scott, who's not an angry person. the things that work for derek won't work for all werewolves - but how would derek know that? he's never had to teach someone to be a werewolf before. he's not actually werewolf jesus.

to scott, derek is the only trustworthy source of information on being a werewolf, because he's the only werewolf scott knows. and from derek's perspective, everything he knows about being a werewolf must be true, because it's true for him. derek is the narrator, and it's only as his backstory unfolds that the viewers, and scott, learn just how much his history and trauma have obscured the reality of things, even for derek himself.

pain is not what makes you human. it's what makes derek human. because the moments in derek's life that stand out to him most are all tinged with tragedy. mercy killing his high school girlfriend. losing his entire family in a house fire. the death of his sister. for derek, to be human is to be in pain, and to be angry about that is the only way to be in control. after all, he doesn't have anyone teaching him otherwise.

My juice for art is so low but I don't want to take a break because it's all things out of my control and honestly, that's just not fair :/

It's a culmination of many things that have made drawing feel like a punishment. I want to draw. But when I sit down I anticipate the next thing that's going to go wrong. "Why won't I be able to enjoy this this time?" 2022 was a traumatic year for reasons unrelated, that I am not going to get into. It was the worst year of my life. I'm still dealing with that. I wonder sometimes if I have PTSD because of it. I lean toward yes.

The years of being reminded of art theft. That has only gotten better because I chose to be loud on social media. I hate it. It's drama. But ignoring it was making it worse. People do not understand how much it can suck the joy out posting knowing a funhouse mirror version is going to appear down the pipeline. Why draw if I'm feeding that? I hate it especially because it leaves people with the impression that I particularly care when someone references or is inspired by my art. I don't. Just be ethical. That's all most people care about. I started blocking people for supporting us both. I don't owe anyone an explanation for that. I do not particularly enjoy drawing Herman as a dragon anymore because I had to do so much of it to stay visible. I like the dragon, but he will never resonate with me as much as the character I made for story. Consider that. I dunked months (a year?) drawing art I didn't want to because I had to be visible, because twitter was dying and I had to funnel people to other sites where I have an account, or because the art theft was so prolific I had to keep doing a circus trick. I have not been able to take a break from social media. I did not enjoy drawing most of the dragon Herman and Jacky comics. They were work. AI sucks but I accept that it exists. I hate what corporations are doing to people. I love that furries and art appreciators are still out there, relatively unchanged. NFTs were stupid. Colossally stupid. Artist hangouts shitting the floor left and right. Covid and the rapidly approaching 2024 election have shattered my perception of the human race. People are awful. I'm okay and will be okay. I just don't really know what to do with myself. I associate all the things I enjoy doing with something bad now, and I don't want to do anything else. I refuse to take meds. I have been around them my whole life. They don't make it better. Why would I do that to myself. There have been good people and amazing people, and I appreciate them. A small circle of people on discord have been keeping me sane, listening to my ramblings, helping me figure out what is worth caring about and what isn't. I hate that that's the image I project of myself in private circles anymore.

last night i had a dream about a new game changer episode that i was absolutely convinced was real until i asked @futureempressoftheuniverse if there was a new episode out and she informed me there wasn't, but: in my dream the new game changer episode was another one of those "how much would you do x for" games. it had brennan and two other contestants, and the prompt he received was "to NOT reblog this post on tumblr" but the post in question was being written by a fellow contestant so it was tailored to be the kind of anti-capitalist rhetoric brennan would have fucking loooved and i was just watching him grapple with the impossible dilemma of "do i earn money but lose an opportunity to dunk on capitalism online" and the drama was very real. it is worth noting i have no idea if brennan is even on tumblr. anyway i should write for game changer

#stuff #sam reich hmu my subconscious is full of ideas #game changer #brennan lee mulligan #dropout #it's also worth mentioning that #in my actual dream i saw the above clip on tumblr #and it was all i saw of the new episode before scrolling away bc i didnt want spoilers #like. in my dream i was seeing about this ON TUMBLR. that's crazy #subconscious wtf are you doing #things that actually happened #dream diary #hot damn i haven't used that tag in a MINUTE #i forgot i used to have a tag for my weird dream ramblings
