I felt a little weird being in a fandom for a show I wasn't actively watching, so before I started writing TW I sat down and watched. (I found out I wasn't alone! So many people have commented on the stories I posted and admitted they don't watch the show, have just been fandom incepted! I don't feel so silly now!)

So, I'm making my flatmates watch Teen Wolf with me and I thought they would be all like this:

BUT then we were all like this:

To the point where girl!flatmate keeps asking, are we watching our fluffy werewolf show whenever we sit down to TV. Basically this sums up my feelings being incepted into this fandom:

I honestly think that I'm enjoying even season 1 so much because I had affection for the characters BEFORE I started watching. Either that or...

Photobucket


Stiles.

He's the Xander archetype because he's the brave everyman, the one that will put his life on the line, even though he has no special powers or skills (other than brains and an adorable bambi-like face). He's my favourite type of character, underrated and ignored but having shining moments that you can't fault.

He's the Willow archetype because yes, the magic, but also I read an interview once where Joss Whedon had said of writing Buffy: when in doubt, put Willow in jeopardy.

Photobucket


He's just so watchable.

Stiles is hands down my favorite. ♥ I love them all and how complex they all are, but still... STILESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Yep - exactly. I love that he's not a one-dimensional comic foil but a character in his own right.

I definitely read a lot of fic before I watched the show. The fandom convinced me! It's like a sucking whirlpool of feels and Stiles.

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


I'm probably looking past a lot of problems and weak points in the show because of the already established character-love but I'm also surprised to be genuinely enjoying it from the first.

I was also sucked in via fandom...though not so much fic as just random people from other fandoms who kept going on and on about it which made me curious. Which meant that eventually I decided to give it a shot, bought the first episode on iTunes...then bought the DVDs and watched the whole first season over a weekend or something...then I gotten season 2 on itunes. And in the middle of all that I set up camp in the Teen Wolf section of AO3.
This is oddly similar to the way I've wandered into about half the fandoms I've ever been in.
Stiles is my absolute favorite on the show. He is totally both the Xander and the Willow of the group.
Incidentally can I just say how much it amuses me that Buffy characters have become archetypes...I find it highly entertaining the extent to which pop culture and reality in general have been thoroughly Jossed.

I always tend to enjoy the side characters more because they're not as restricted as the main protagonist in reactions and story line.

Haha, you give me hope that I might one day sit down and actually watch the show because I'm definitely one of those 'fandom incepted' folks. I'm limiting myself to getting through Doctor Who at the moment, but I think I may have to watch TW sometime just because of character(aka stiles) love.

Thanks for sharing all the funny gifs! :)

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


You should! I was a bit wary because plenty of people had said that season 1 was a bit painful to get through but then season 2 was much better but I've been enjoying season 1 alot!

It's like I could have written this post!! Well no. I could not have, in that you wrote it but the *sentiment* yes. That is the same.

Stiles <3

I've also never seen this show--but I keep seeing a lot of people on my friends list talk about it or write fics about it...it's trying to draw me in!

From: [identity profile] battleofhydaspe.livejournal.com


Totally agreed. I actually watched the show by fast forwarding to the scenes that had Stiles in them. Oops?

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Hahahaa! I believe that's a perfectly valid life choice!

From: [identity profile] auctorial.livejournal.com


girl!flatmate keeps asking, are we watching our fluffy werewolf show whenever we sit down to TV
haha, this is the cutest thing. I wish I had a housemate who'd make me watch Teen Wolf with her, because that's the only way I'd sit still enough to watch it. But I keep being tempted.

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Hahahaa... she JUST came in then because I was on the computer and was all like big eyes and FLUFFY WEREWOLVES?? I'm glad we've got a whole season to get through!

:D

I watched the show first, but I am enjoying rewatching it now in a whole other way now that I have read some fic and seen ALL THE THINGS on Tumblr.

♥ ♥ ♥ STILES!!!!!♥ ♥ ♥

Dammit am I the only person left in my flist who hasnt seen the show? I see gifs everywhere & see fics pop up all the time....I may have to take the plunge

From: [identity profile] shadwrayvn.livejournal.com


OMG idk if I can take another show that has me crying into my ice cream! Seriously between SPN & Dr Who i believe my heart & soul have been shattered into a million pieces

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


I'm mostly crying into my ice cream because I can't believe I'm watching this doofy show with the teenage werewolves and enjoying it so much.

It's just really... charming.

From: [identity profile] lomer.livejournal.com


OMG I love Stiles. Love him. Love him so much.

I also got suckerpunched into the fandom. People kept posting adorable gifs and then it was on demand and I thought "I'll just watch one stupid episode and see what all the fuss is about" and then I watched all the episodes and then I bought the dvds... *facepalm*

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Getting suckerpunched into it! That is a perfect way to describe it! It doesn't help that I now have made my flatmates co-enablers/addicted. I was the Patient Zero of Teen Wolf in our household!

From: [identity profile] lomer.livejournal.com


Me too. My sister now watches it as well, though she's not as addicted as I am.

From: [identity profile] brate7.livejournal.com


I swear if you make me like this fandom I will hunt you down and throw werewolves at your face!

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


Werewolves are my total kryptonite!

You will try to resist but it will come at you before you know it!

and then you will be left with nothing to do but cope like I am...

I want you to know I have spent many minutes (hours) this weekend collecting and reading m'f'ing TW fic. Sigh. I completely blame you for me ending up drinking under my desk.

And I will be sending my minions your way.

I HAVE NO REMORSE. I AM REMORSELESS IN THE FACE OF YOUR INCEPTION.

It's the most weirdly addictive fandom ever.

I swear, when several on my flist were posting about TW, I needed another fandom like I needed another hole in my head. So my reaction started out like this:

What's this

Now it's on hiatus, and I'm like this:

Couch

Also, Stiles.

STILLLLLLLLLES

He's Xander without the annoying tendency to be an asshole. He's Willow in all the best possible ways. He also has a slight Oz feel in his sarcasm.

ALL THE LOVE FOR STILES. ALL OF IT.

From: [identity profile] kellifer-fic.livejournal.com


He is like Oz if Oz were completely uncoordinated and doofy! :D
