#tw 2x05

[princeescaluswords]

Hey Prince Escalus! I have seen your work and posts for quite a while actually and I admire your credibility and honesty with debates, questions and answers in the Teen Wolf universe. Especially with the characters, their strengths and flaws, the plot and storyline, the motives behind every character, how the villains are portrayed and even pointing out the very mind boggling tropes and disputes that occur from the Fandom and is placed in the characters of Teen Wolf.

I was rewatching season 2 the other night and there were a few things that did caught my eye and confused yet intrigued me at the same time. It's when Lydia does give the key to Jackson the first time in 2x05 (Venomous), but Jackson still transformed into the Kanima after the Hale pack invade Scott's house to murder Lydia. But what caught my eyes more was when Lydia touched Jackson's arm in 2x09 (Party Guessed) it looked as if Jackson partially snapped out of the trance he was in as the Kanima briefly from her touch and presence, until she left after he warned her that she shouldn't want him to come to her party. Then again in 2x12 (Master Plan), Lydia's presence and her giving Jackson his key reverted him back from his Kanima form to regaining his human features. I was brainstorming, could it have been Lydia's emerging banshee abilities that had that affect on Jackson? Or was it because Jackson was under two different Kanima Masters, where the first time it didn't work because it was Matt and he had a strong grasp on him whereas with Gerard, after being defeated, the link between him and the Kanima was weak that it allowed Lydia to bring Jackson back? I was thinking alot about this since it was rather intriguing. What would your thoughts be on this?

I think all these things contribute, but I think that the primary answer lies in the details of the scenes themselves. While Lydia presents the key to Jackson in both scenes, the conditions of those presentations are entirely different.

In Venomous (2x05), Stiles, Allison, and Jackson have spirited Lydia away to Scott's house to protect her from Isaac and Erica, who were planning to kill her on Derek's orders. They haven't told Lydia why (which they will all later realize was a mistake) and she's confused and defensive as a result. While Jackson may want to protect Lydia, he's still convinced that someone broke into his house and edited the tape he made of himself turning into a werewolf, and he thinks it might be her. So in this scene, the key isn't evidence of their connection, it is evidence of people deceiving him.

Jackson: Where's my key, Lydia? It was you, wasn't it? You edited the tape. Lydia: What tape? Jackson: The night of the full moon. The recording. You came into my house - into my room - and you saw what was happening to me, so you took the tape from the camera and you edited out the most important part. I don't know why. Maybe because you wanted to take that from me, my moment, like you take everything. Or maybe you just thought you were protecting me. But it was you, wasn't it? Lydia: I don't know what you're talking about - But if you need it so badly - Fine. Lydia: I hate you. I hate you so much. Jackson: No. No, you don't.

She doesn't reach Jackson when she presents him with the key this time because the emotions behind it are all wrong. He's convinced she is denying him the identity he desires. But then, right before he transforms into the kanima, he realizes that she does have real feelings for him, which he doesn't understand. Jackson didn't become the kanima because he wanted to be a reptilian murder-slave; he wanted to be a werewolf to be special, which means he would be valuable to someone. (The irony of course is that he was already special and valuable; he just doesn't believe he is. Impostor Syndrome FTW!) The key doesn't stop him from becoming the kanima because it doesn't reinforce his own identity; in fact, in this instance, it confuses him even more.

Now, we move to Party Guessed (2x09) where Lydia goes to Jackson to personally invite him to her party, because she does care for him. Jackson is being influenced by the kanima identity (and Matt), but when she touches him -- now that he knows she cares for non-supernatural Jackson -- it shocks him momentarily free from the kanima transformation. (The irony here is that she is offering a way back to himself even as she slips farther under Peter's control.) His look of loss when the touch breaks off is real, and it helps set up the terms and power in the final scene you mention.

The situation in Master Plan (2x12), when Lydia presents the key again, is completely different than in Venomous. This time, Jackson isn't pursing her to get the key and solve the mystery of why he didn't transform; this time it is Lydia who is seeking him out because getting the key back is what Jackson wants. It shocks him, just like the touch in Party Guessed did, because she is here for him. For Jackson. Not for the kanima. She calls his name, peeling back the kanima's identity, and he remembers how he gave her the key in the first place.

Jackson: Do you - do you still - Lydia: I do. I do still love you. I do, I do still love you. I do. I do. I do still love you, I do.

Peter wasn't just spouting romantic nonsense when he talked about the power of human love. Love, real love in all its forms from romantic to familiar to platonic, is an expression of absolute care for another person. In this case, Lydia loves Jackson -- Jackson's original identity -- because of their relationship and not through some supernaturally enforced master-slave relationship, such as the ones which existed between Matt and Jackson and exists between Gerard and Jackson. Those two villains didn't love Jackson, they were using him. Lydia isn't getting anything out of this act; on the contrary, she could straight up die since Gerard ordered the kanima to kill them all. This is made real to him by the presentation of the key, because Lydia understands he "need[s] it so badly" that she came to this dangerous place for him.

While I do believe that there is power in Lydia's voice, Peter was right again when he said it's just a tool. In this case, the power of the voice "drowns out" everything for Jackson but the "real connection" forged between Lydia and Jackson, which, as Peter put it in Battlefield (2x11), is "disappearing beneath a reptilian skin and [she] needs to bring him back."

And so she did.

Drew Starkey is fantastic this season as Rafe Cameron, he was good already in S1 but grew so much in S2. Potentially has done the best acting of the main cast so far & it’s not like the main cast lacks talent at all either:

The role as unfavourite kid who has severe daddy issues that is emotionally very abusive & pychically too combined with something neurological afoot (idk what tho) coping via a cocaine addiction & excessive drinking is not easy. Add in the factor he also has a body count: Sheriff Peterkin no less. Technically Sarah - his sister - also once & almost twice. Given he was the reason she was clinically dead for roughly 10 minutes & had it not been for Topper’s aid she would’ve drowned

Doesn’t matter if he ever experienced some of this himself or not at all. This is not an easy role to portray as well has he has so far

The Dragon Prince Whumplist

Character: Callum (voiced by Jack DeSena)

Age Rating: TV-Y7 (FV)

Show available on Netflix

Genre: Animation, Found Family, Action, Adventure, Fantasy

Synopsis: In the magical land of Xadia, magic comes from six primal sources: the sun, moon, stars, sky, earth and ocean. When human mages create a seventh kind of magic -- dark magic -- they start capturing and harvesting the unique magical creatures they need as ingredients, which sparks a war between Xadia and the Human Kingdoms. Three kids from opposite sides of the conflict -- two princes and an elven assassin sent to kill them -- discover a secret that could change everything and decide to join forces and go on an epic journey. That trek could be their only hope of ending the war and restoring peace to both worlds. (Via Google)

Notes: This show is GOOD. If you like ATLA, you'll enjoy this. It gets progressively darker and more violent as the show goes on, so fair warning for that. The relationships between the characters are amazing, and there's also great diverse representation! I highly recommend.

TW's: Violence, mild blood/gore (audio/visual gets worse in later seasons), death, child abuse/neglect, child endangerment, emetophobia (very mild), mild torture
