#this whole conversation started in the fandom bc he’s offended literally every group of people

That Rolling Stones article is not it.
I don’t think it’s fair for women to be blamed for the actions of men. And idk how he’s made it this far without being called out more. But people aren’t blaming Taylor for her bf’s actions. We are critical of her choice to publicly associate with Someone like this, and for giving him a larger platform by letting him get on her stage. Those are choices she’s made.
Idgaf if we don’t hold men accountable for their chosen company in the same way (we should), it’s not a reason to make excuses here.

different anon but *whispers* popular stiles and nerd lydia who grew up as bffs and lived next door, lydia still one of stiles' favorite people but she's lowkey shook because she's nowhere near as popular as he is but here's the thing: they've both secretly been in love with each other the whole time :)
i am hollering lmao this au truly is my favourite underrated one and it’s a tragedy fandom doesn’t talk about it more
stiles and lydia who grew up as bffs next door to each other and hung out constantly
the endless sleepovers bc their parents went to high school together and knew each other well
she’s literally the only person at school who knows his real name
except then when they get to high school stiles makes the lacrosse team w/ his new friend scott and suddenly he doesn’t have as much time to hang out w/ lydia when he has all these new friends and a girlfriend (malia)
they don’t have a fight but they drift apart until they never hang out at all and the only contact they ever has is a quick hi if they run into each other in public
lydia just wants to get through high school as quickly as possible so she can get to college and live her life (and pretend her feelings for stiles are 
lydia might be a nerd and she might take part in all the nerdy extra curriculars (they look great on college applications) but for some reason none of the popular kids ever mess w/ her (much later she figures out they gave her a wide berth bc she was in w/ stiles)
lydia doesn’t know scott very well but she’s always subconsciously held a grudge against him bc she irrationally blames him for taking stiles away from her
except then scott is failing one of his classes during junior year and lydia is asked to tutor him and she can’t say no
scott turns out to be a sweetheart and lydia can’t stay mad at him for very long, she can totally see why stiles loves him
they end up becoming friends, and bc scott is such a sweetheart he invites her to a party after a lacrosse game. she wants to say no, but then she thinks it’s something she should probably experience at least once, so she decides to go. (it’s definitely not bc stiles might be there. nope.)
except scott is far smarter than lydia ever gave him credit for and he’s determined help his best friend get the girl of his dreams bc 
unbeknownst to lydia stiles literally only started avoiding her bc he was too awkward to admit he had feelings for her
he’s been telling scott all about lydia for so long and how he doesn’t know how to fix things w/ her 
she ends up talking to stiles at the party and it’s awkward but it’s nice to talk w/ him again
the team are very nice to her when they find out she’s the reason their co-captain got his grades back up and could stay on the team
maybe stiles rescues lydia when jackson is hitting on her
after that lydia sort of gets adopted into scott’s circle of friends, even after he stops needing her tutoring
lydia’s seen enought movies to know how the popular kids being nice to the invisible nerd usually ends, but she gets to talk to stiles again so she goes along w/ it. plus she really does like scott (and his girlfriend allison is really nice)
so this goes on for a while
stiles and lydia still don’t talk about the elephant in the room (why they stopped hanging out) but they are talking again so lydia will take it
she’s always known stiles had the tendency to avoid any kind of emotional conversation
this is a shitty teen movie au so of course it all comes to a head at a school dance at the end of the year (prom? idk how american school life works)
lydia will never turn down an opportunity to do her hair and slay in a dress so she accepts scott’s offer to join the group date thing he’s got going on (even if she knows stiles will be there w/ his girlfriend and she knows it’ll hurt every time she sees them)
she can’t even hate malia bc it’s not like she’s dating stiles to personally hurt lydia and she seems nice 
everything is fine until the rest of the group are off dancing and she’s left w/ stiles, who she’s been avoiding being alone w/ the whole night
he asks her to dance (think of the 1x11 snark lmao) and gives her a whole speech when she says no, so eventually she agrees
it’s just one dance, right? and it’s a fairly upbeat song?
except fate hates lydia and pretty soon a slow song comes on and then she’s slow dancing w/ stiles stilinski and trying not to fall in her four inch heels as she internally freaks out
he pulls her a little too close and she lets herself imagine that they’re there as an actual couple but then she remembers his girlfriend and she stumbling backwards and running off the dance floor
stiles follows her and they get into an argument bc lydia is like ‘you ditched me! you have other friends now!’ so stiles leaves when she asks him to
but he sends scott to check on lydia
lydia tells him the whole story, right down to how she’s so in love w/ stiles but he has a girlfriend so she sort of wants the entire floor to swallow her up
scott starts laughing and she’s sort of offended but then he’s dragging malia and another girl over and is like ‘lydia, you know malia. have you met malia’s girlfriend, kira?’ 
and lydia feels like an idiot for believing the gossip and then she realises that maybe stiles really was trying to make a move on her w/ the slow dance
scott is like ‘yeah, dude’s been in love w/ you as long as i’ve known him. he just thought there was no way everyone wouldn’t realise you were way out of his league eventually’
stiles and lydia get their heart to heart where stiles apologises, they both get to confess their feelings, and then kiss in the rain for the true cliche ending
