This is something that I've been sitting here thinking about for the past couple weeks and I just saw a piece of fanart last night that made me think about it even more, because honestly, the idea that Eli was created by the Nemeton is such a cool idea and it fits with the canon.
So, I don't even care that Jeff Davis is an idiot and was probably too stupid to think of this idea. I feel like I'm in the mood to write some meta after years and years of not writing meta.
Let's talk about it anyways.
We know that the Nemeton was functional during the 1940's before the Nogitsune came into power. And then, sometime after the Nogitsune's first run wild through Beacon Hills, somebody cut it down and essentially rendered it completely powerless.
Now, it stayed powerless for decades UNTIL that one night in the root cellar with Derek and Paige. When Derek killed Paige, he unknowingly committed a virgin sacrifice and sparked the Nemeton back to life. Albeit, the nemeton remained in a weakened state, as it was not back to full power and not working as a beacon to draw in supernatural creatures.
Cut to a few years later, what happens next?
The parents of the teen wolf trio get kidnapped by Jennifer so that she can complete her "three-fold death" sacrifice by killing three guardians. However, she never gets to complete the ritual because Stiles, Allison, and Scott sacrifice themselves in their parents place as surrogates.
Now, the sacrifice that Stiles, Allison, and Scott make was the surrogate sacrifice ritual that Deaton knew how to perform. It put darkness around their hearts and gave them the ability to locate the Nemeton. But that was it, right?
It didn't also act as another virgin sacrifice, right?
Scott? Not a virgin.
Allison? Not a virgin.
Stiles? Not a vir—OH WAIT.
Stiles.
Unintentionally committing a virgin sacrifice by sacrificing himself and giving another spark of power to the Nemeton. And this time, it bumps the nemeton back up to full power after Derek had previously sparked it back to life.
Now, you might be saying:
"But what about Jennifer? She committed virgin sacrifices, too!"
She did. But not to the Nemeton. She was a druid emissary long before the Nemeton was brought back to life. And druids have the ability to perform rituals to basically earn themselves more powers. Those virgin sacrifices that she did in the first few episodes of 3A went straight to herself, not to the Nemeton.
Which means the next virgin sacrifice in the queue was the one that Stiles made by drowning himself, not knowing that he was technically committing two different sacrifices that night.
Derek commits a virgin sacrifice. Then Stiles commits a virgin sacrifice (albeit by sacrificing himself instead of another person). Two consecutive virgin sacrifices by Derek and Stiles, separated by years, and both totally unintentional. And yet both sacrifices powered back up the dead Nemeton.
We know the Nemeton is at least somewhat sentient as it can pick and choose who to let get close to it in the woods. So, who's to say that the Nemeton doesn't hold Derek and Stiles in high regard for bringing it back to life? Who's to say that the Nemeton isn't thankful?
Hmm?
Perhaps, even thankful enough to give Derek and Stiles the ultimate gift in its gratitude? The gift of a son? The gift of a son, born from the Nemeton?
Even Eli seems to have some random, totally strange connection to the Nemeton without really having an explanation for it. He just randomly sleepwalks in the middle of the night and ends up at the Nemeton.
Why?
Now, you could argue that Eli has been sleepwalking out to the Nemeton because of the whole Allison situation in the movie. But what sense does that make? Eli doesn't know Allison Argent. He never did. She was dead before he was even born.
But if we're getting meta in here, Eli just so happens to be 15 years old (the same age Derek was when he sacrificed Paige in the root cellar and woke the Nemeton up). Maybe the Nemeton thinks 15 is the perfect age to start dropping hints to Eli.
In my mind, Deaton was called out to the Nemeton in the middle of the night and found little Eli as a newborn in a little wicker basket made from Nemeton branches and soft leaves, just sitting there asleep in the middle of the Nemeton stump.
And Deaton, being a druid and the old Hale family emissary, knew exactly what the Nemeton was offering and why it was offering it. So, he dropped Eli in his basket onto Derek's doorstep, knocked real loud, and watched as Derek adopted the boy—totally unaware that Eli is 50/50 both his and Stiles'.
But that conversation comes much later.
So, there you have it.

Derek got sent to Superhell in the movie? I feel like I've unlocked forbidden knowledge
okay now that i’ve processed the teen wolf movie i can confidently say it’s dog shit
like literally it’s so bad and it makes me so mad i watched it for eli and the swearing that’s it
the only thing i took away from the teen wolf movie is that they should have also been able to say fuck in the show
Stiles: When me and Derek get a divorce, it WILL be in an IKEA. that place is built for divorces
Isaac: are. are you two married??
Stiles, hasn't even kissed him yet: ...no?
Derek: I don't see how that's relevant
So, uh, Derek’s a DILF now???????
So I had to make this, because let's be honest the movie was...I can't find the words to describe it. The only good thing about it, is Eli.
"So you are telling us…That you are the son of Derek" Stile asked unsure of what reaction he should give, he was happy for his sour wolf Did he just call me him his ? and as much as he wanted to deny the pit in his stomach but he couldn't.
It may sound selfish and heartless, but Stiles wished this was all a nightmare or that the boy was maybe one of Derek's one-night stands, or that the mother died while giving birth. Unfortunately, this was all a wish from a broken heart.
"Who is your mother?" Lydia asked when she notice how silent Stiles become, and before Eli could respond the door opened.
"Dad!" Eli happily called seeing Derek at the door, "MOM!" That earned everyone's attention.
Eli throw himself at (Y/N) and Derek who just stared at each other completely clueless about what was happening.
If Stiles was feeling awful, he just wished for one of his crushes to die.
"What is going on?" Derek questioned without letting go of the child in his arms.
(Y/N) walked to Stiles putting a comforting hand on his should as she noticed his dejected expression.
When did she get here? He thought.
"You're okay?" She asked her tone soft. Like always when she talked to him.
Okay, now he felt much worse. He stood up abruptly leaving the place before any could stop him.
"Is he okay?" (Y/N) asked, and no one responded. Not even Scott. Who knew about Stiles feeling for you two.
"I will go talk to him" Scott left giving everyone an apologetic smile.
"So…Can someone explain what a kid doing in my loft, and why is he calling me dad?" Derek raised an eyebrow completely ignoring the kid that left him to hug (Y/N), and the oblivious blush on his cheek.
"Kid, I'm sorry to say this but I'm not your mother. I'm tto young to give birth." (Y/N) explain to the kid tryingto get him off her.
"Not yet, but soon" He pointed out, smiling shiply.
"So what's your name and why are you here?" (Y/N) shacked her head putting the groceries away with Derek. She decided to take things slowly and maybe understand the boy.
"I'm Eli (last name) Mieczyslaw Hale" He happily introduced himself arms spread wide, and from your chock you let the plate shatter on the ground.
"I don't believe you!" You whispered.
Eli turns your way, lifting his shirt to show a half-moon shape on the middle of his chest.
"Impossible!" You slowly walked toward him, before hesitantly tracing the mark.
"It looks just likes yours, doesn't it?" Eli asked smiling at you. You nodded silently. You didn't know what to say or if you were even capable.
"You are my child" You hugged him, tears falling down your cheeks, with the biggest smile on your face.
The half-moon shape, that looked like a burn was a symbol of your home, you pack. Unfortunately, an accident happened and they all die. You felt it as if your heart was burning more with their soul slowly leaving each one of them.
-----------------------------------------------
"So you're telling me…I married two men?" (Y/N) raised an eyebrow, passing a bowl of fruit to the boy, who happily took it grinning.
Everyone had left except you and Stiles, with a promise of giving them details later, since they had school tomorrow morning. Eli had insisted that Stiles stays, and either way, he was your ride home.
"What's with the grin?" You ask, with a smile of your own, you were still not yet over the fact that you had such a beautiful kid.
"You always prepare, a bowl of fruits with some yoghurt for me and the twins. for our movie night. Each Friday." He looked down at the bowl sniffing.
"Used?" You asked worriedly about what have happened in the future.
"You fallen into coma after your saved dad from sacrificing himself" Eli wiped his tears, before giving a smile. He was obliviously trying to hide his fellings, and even if he wasn't your child yet, you hugged him burying his face in your chest.
Your motherly warmth caused all of his hidden emotions to explode. He couldn't help himself from crying, letting everything out. All the fear and all the frustration he buried for months inside of him.
You let him, until he calmed down enough to eat his fruit, and explain. With both of the men just watching you act like mother.
---------------------------------------
"You married dad " He pointed at Derek, who was leaning against the wall, watching from a distance while the boy was still laying on your chest "You got married when you were fourth month pregnant, at that time you were already married to papa Stiles" This seems to catch all your attention, especially Stiles.
"Papa Stiles?" You titled your head.
"Yes,from I was told you had a big fight broke between you and Dad. He said some hurtful things, so you left with papa Stiles to study aboard" He hatefully glared at his dad, before turning to you with the biggest smiles "two months later you discovered you were pregnant..Papa Stiles took the opportunaty to marry you and protect you" He left your arms to go to stiles, who hugged him back with a big smile.
I married (Y/N). Stiles is over the moon biting his lips tp stop a giggle from escaping, at the thought of you two living together, with you wearing a ring, proof that you belong to him, just as how belongs to you.
Stiles didn't look much older than Eli. They looked more like brothers than a father and a son, yet your son seem to look at him with such admiration, causing Derek to clench his teeth, eyes turning slightly yellow.
"and one night he called Dad and told him about everything. He thought he deserved to know that you never cheated on him…You may guess what happened. Dad come and demanded a DNA test, and just like you expected I was his child, and you never cheated" He took some paper out of his jacket passing it to you.
The paper had your full name, with Derek's too.
"He tried to apologize but you refuse to even see his face, but papa Stiles convinced you…Few dates from here and there and you were back together just this time with Papa Stiles, by your side." Stiles was looking at Eli with so much love it warm your heart, yet broke you, you didn't want for Stiles to feel obligated to marry you just because of you been pregnant.
You wish it was his-the child-, because to be honest you always liked Stiles, yet you never dared to express those feelings, knowing well that he liked Lydia.
"What about the twins?" You questioned.
"They are my half-brother and sister, you had them from Papa Stiles" Your head snaps to Stiles, whose jaw dropped. You turned to Derek, and he give the same reaction. Not like it changed, since Eli explained that he was his son.
Oh my God, I have twins. Stiles thought.
"That doesn't explain why you're here?" You asked, and sudenly the boy got nervous.
"After you got on a coma our family start falling apart… Espacially after grandma came back." The boy buried himself in Stiles' chest.
"My mom?" Your voice cracked and your heart skipped a beat, earning you a look of worry from both men.
"She tried to make Dads divorce you, when they showed her that she already had children with both of them, she just laughed and asked them to keep us" Your grip harden around Stiles, making him pat him softly.
"I-I…I didn't know what to do, she already had everything ready, a lawyer, evidence to show that you were forced to marry them" You frowned, before softly standing.
"That's why you came here" You concluded, before wrapping your hands around him. The three of you hugged him, giving him a little comfort.
"I was in your room looking for something against her, when sudenly I was teleported here" You closed your eyes, searching in your mind before it hit you.
"Wait here!" You run to Derek's room,and few minutes later you came back with two books in hand.
"I think you were looking for those" you handed them to Eli, who opened one of them to see writings.
"What are those?" Eli asked, "Those are my journal, from when I used to live with my mom…I think it's more than enough evidance to use" Eli's eyes lit up.
"I hide them, in Derek's room since no one will think or dare to look for them there" You awkwardly laughed, looking away from Derek, who himself didn't know that something precious was hiding in his room.
"When did you put them there?" He found himself asking.
"After two weeks after we started dating" You explained going back to you previous position, stealing your son from Stiles.
You started dating Derek, giving him a chance, when you caught Stiles and Lydia kissing.
"Oh" He simply replaied.
"It's getting late, why don't we leave. We still have school tomorow" You yawned, eyes already closing.
"Can…C-Can we all sleep together?" Eli yawned too, refusing to let you go.
You three looked at each other and shrugged, but deep inside you all were excited to sleep together.
And God knows how fast you all had fallen asleep that night. All warm, with one wish, is for this moment to never end or at least last longer, so you can all graved in your heart and mind.
summary: You wanted a normal life, this isn't normal.
warning: reaincarnation, death, mention of death, overpowered reader, mentien of yn, no name to the reader, maybe poly relationshipes, blood.werewolf. some Angst. Futur Spoliers, for both the series and movie. Some changes in the story. First time writting about teen wolf, some characters are out of character
_You promised!
You looked at God, for the first time since you had become his messager to the "New world". No, not like the old one, where you used to live, a new earth. An earth that hasn't been destroyed by humans, not yet at least.
You were to protect his favorite beens the humans, from all the other creatures that lived inside and outside the planet. That humans didn't known about, and shouldn't know, no matter the consequences, in exchange he would give you a normal life, somewhere in another dimension.
You didn't care where to go, you just wanted a life,no fighting, a life where you can be selfish. Where you can buy a cottage near the ocean or forest, and maybe start a family, adopt a kid or two. You don't want to get marry so adoption was you solition.
_I know, I know...but..
His voice was inside your head, and you didn't know if it was a female or male. All you you could get from it, was how tired it was.
_but what?
You were tired too, but did you stop, NO, you fought for centuries until the humanity was able to protect itself, and he rewarded by trapping you inside a cube, a fucking cube....You know now how Morpheus felt like.
_but you are my best soldier!
The earth benith you start shaking, and you knew he stood up, or maybe just his hands that moved in frustration.It would have scared you, and it should had,if you weren't blinded by rage.
_I never signed up for this!
True you never signed for any of this, one day you just woke up, and boom you become God's soldier. Three years later he come and ask you to do the dirty job, killing and turtoring. The first time you engaged in a fight, you come back bruised and at the verge of death, and the more and more you continue, the more powerfull you become , making you lean more into your sadistic part, and that when God come again, and offored something you had were greedy for.
Money.
It started with money, and when you were bored of. He offered to give you a family,and the more time past the more you start craving something normal, and God given it to you, except peace, that was the only thing God couldn't give you. The peace to wake up and not have to fight, and you should have known better than to beleive him, when he promised to let you go, once the humans are able to protect themselves.
The power you hold was immense and unbreakbale but to God, it was nothing.
He could have taken it anytime he wanted,so Haven't he?
You shacked you head disapointed, and soon as you meet his "eyes" you found youself doubting him more and more.
Was the devil right, when he said that God was not what you were seeing. At that time, you called him liar, because at that time centuries had passed, and God, who you saw as a friend was the only thing that didn't leave, die, or change.
Now you found yourself, believing the devil over your "friend". Maybe you should have listened to him, and killed yourself. Instead of getting your heart broken, so loudly, that all heaven could hear it. Just like how they can hear him break his promise.
A loud sigh could be here. Before thunder and storm start to pick up.
_FINE!
He screamed, waving his hand encouraging the storm to get stronger, and if it wasn't for your power, you would have been flying like the little angels...poor them.
Seconds passed, and you closed you eyes waiting for punishment for standing against God. No one defien him, no one dared to, and you just did.
Once the storm calmed, you opened your eyes to find yourself, in the middle of a living room. Your dream living room.
Your face light up, as a smile starr to grow more and more, to a point where you face start to hurt, but you couldn't help it.
Jumping around you inspeckted every peace of the room, before running like a headless chiken to see the other room.
There was one kitchen, six bedroom, and each had it own bathroom and balcony. A garden with it door open to the kitchen.
OMG You were jumping around, shringing.
THIS WAS YOUR DREAM HOUSE!
And it was no longer a wish or a dream!
You couldn't beleive it.
_Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You kept screaming, thanking God, for keeping his promise.
Maybe he really wasn't a liar, after all!
Somehow, Allison Argent survived
. . . cue mission impossible music !
He thought they would stop but they have only gotten stronger
I am sure it was another jeff davis queerbait! To give all of us hope and than take it away immediately! I hate this dude!!! 🤬
they forgot it was double-barrelled. duh.

Imagine Stiles showing up to Beacon Hills High School to pick up Eli and he runs into Coach.
“Hi Coach”
“Stilinski,” *notices the nice FBI suit* “The hell are you wearing? Shouldn’t you be in class?”
“I graduated like five years ago.”
“But you were at practice yesterday.”
Stiles is even more confused when Eli finally walks out and Coach does a double take, looking from Stiles to Eli and back again. He turns to Eli. “You’re not Stilinski?”
“No,” Eli replies, confused and a little startled. “I’m Eli… Hale. Eli Hale.”
Coach looks back and forth between them again. “Are you sure?”
“Yes?” Eli replies, even more confused.
Coach mumbles something obscure and says a quick goodbye before leaving, but for the rest of the day all he can think about is all the questions he has about how Stiles and Eli are so alike but somehow not related and how old he is if Stiles Stilinski graduated five years ago…

How I attempted to explain to my friend (who knows almost nothing about Teen Wolf), how Eli Hale came to be and Derek's 'Complicated Feelings' about Stiles...
I put wayyyy too much effort into this.
Ok had posted this on twitter a few weeks ago but had to share it here too!
I had the most twisted thought ever but still… What if ,when Derek had to think about a name for his son , he would have thought about calling him Stiles because he loved this weird, hyperactive, kind, caring , courageous and intelligent young men and he missed him so damn much. Maybe if he call his son like that, he would be at least as much intelligent and kind. But hey, having a son named Stiles and had kept the sheriff’s son Jeep would be too obvious you know? So he had to think harder on it.
Then he remembered that Mieczyslaw Stilinski wasn’t the first Stiles in the family. It was the sheriff’s father. He knew that he wasn’t a good man, he knew what he had done to Noah and his mother, because he would have all about Stiles and his life archived somewhere in his brain. So he had took days of reflexion on it but what at the end it was pretty good to keep people from understand what he was doing. Stiles grand-father’s name was Elias, so he goes for Eli. Because in his maze of a brain, it was the closest he could get to « Stiles » .
Obviously at some point Noah had figured the thought process. It had help that the kid was so Stiles-like.He almost could have sworn that the boy could be his hidden grand-son if he didn’t knew that he was Derek’s son.
One day, as Derek was coming to get his kid back from the police station once again because he had obviously stolen the damn jeep. The sheriff gave back the car’s key to a jaded, ashamed and tired werewolf dad. Noah had smiled at him with simpathy and understanding. And looking at the boy siting in the jeep he told him
« I hope that the name had gifted him with what you wanted at first, because for me now he seem just as much a troublesome clumsy obsessed-with-this-jeep trouble-magnet as my boy was »Derek had raised his eyebrows at first in shock and looked at his son, let a loud sigh escaped and just answered
« Obviously it didn’t occurred to me that it was coming as a package to balanced the gifted side of it. Lucky me, you know how to deal with it. Thanks »Noah had laughed at that
« At this point you just should have called him Stiles, it could had been fun »
Derek as he opened the jeep’s door grin at him
« No, too obvious, I prefer it the way it is, just you and me knowing what it means. »
He get in and drove , trying to not smile as he looked at his son, the almost spiting image of Mieczyslaw Stiles Stilinski. This name had really gifted his son with all he wanted it to and even more.He laughed slightly as he thouht that Stiles would freak out the day he would run into his boy riding in his mother’s old jeep.
Please dont throw rocks at me, It’s was 2 in the morning and I’m in an advanced lack of sleep 🙃🙃
Do you all even know how bitter I am that Jeff Davis would come back and create what he created. I know most of you all didn’t watch the movie, and hey that’s fair. I also know most of you know that Derek died in the movie, but what you all might not know is that Derek became a true alpha seconds before he died. His sacrifice, because that’s what he did, he sacrificed himself, made him a true alpha. Jeff Davis tortured this character, made it to where he was genuinely never happy, and then made him a TRUE ALPHA???? Do you know what being a true alpha means? It’s about virtue, it’s about strength of character. Scott had that because he was pure, he was all kindness and protection, and sure sometimes he was wrong, but in the grand scheme of things he had everyone’s best interest in mind. Derek becoming a true alpha was practically Jeff’s way of saying “actually this character that I hated and tortured was kinda a great guy sorry everyone” and then he KILLED HIM!!!!!! What. What!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAD HIM BURN TO DEATH IN FRONT OF HIS OWN SON. And the reason he was okay with that? With sacrificing himself knowing he had a teenage son? Was because Scott was the “alpha.” And he trusted Scott to take care of him. BUT DEREK BECAME AN ALPHA RIGHT BEFORE HE DIED. This is all so sick I’m so mad right now. Also for those of you who didn’t see the movie, Derek was not happy in it. Sure he had his son, but that man looked sadder than I’ve ever seen him look.
THIS MAN WAS SAD!!!!!! HIS WHOLE LIFE!!!!! UP UNTIL HE FUCKING DIED!!!!!! Jeff WHY??? You couldn’t have even made him happy for a little while before KILLING HIM????? OH GOD IM MAD
Xavier Hale!
Go give my headcanon about Derek Hales father a read:
Well, enough Papa Hale for today, I’m trying to do his werewolf form. I think he looks really fierce :)
Ok so I saw a bunch of monkeyelbow’s Hale Family fanart/comics many years ago, and I have to say that they heavily inspired my recently posted head canon about Derek Hale’s father. Give my head canon a read if you are interested:
My vision of Derek Hale’s parents when they’re more younger. In my version, Derek’s father was at first a human but due his relationship with Talia and his affair with that mystic world, she was forced to bite and convert him into a werewolf. I like to imagine him like Scott but a bit cocky and mulish but with good intentions.
I read a fic where Derek Hale’s father’s name was Xavier Hale, and he accepted the bite from Talia. It stuck with me, so this is now my headcanon: Derek Hale’s father’s name is Xavier Hale. Xavier was born human, but when he fell in love and mated with Talia Hale, he chose to receive the bite and become her beta and Alpha mate. Once bitten and mated, he took Talia’s last name. After becoming a wolf, he loved to chase Talia and throw her over his shoulder and run around with her on his shoulder even though she was the Alpha, and technically that should go against her every instinct as an Alpha, but she loved it and she loved him, so she let him. Peter didn’t like that Xavier, very quickly, became an exceptional wolf and mastered control over it. He believed a bitten wolf could never master full control over their wolf like a born wolf could. For years they had one sided beef. Mostly with Peter being an asshole and believing his sister could’ve done better. He loved to remind Xavier that he wouldn’t ever be a true wolf and Talia deserved a real wolf. Xavier’s personality was very similar to Scott’s, a bit arrogant and cocky at times, kind of dumb, a absolute puppy, always had good intentions, loyal, a true lover boy and had a heart of gold. (This was part of the reason why Peter chose to bite Scott, because something about him was so familiar and nostalgic, he wanted him in his pack) Xavier ends up saving Peter from a rogue feral omega at some point and Peter finally realizes the flaw of his beliefs. After that, Xavier becomes the older brother Peter has always wanted (Peter is second born after Talia, who is the oldest, they have 7 other siblings). Derek is the splitting image of Xavier Hale. The only difference between them is that Xavier has longer, shaggier hair, which he will sometimes tie into a man bun, he’s also more muscular, mostly due to age though. (Laura looks more like Talia, and Cora a perfect combo of both Talia and Xavier) He absolutely adored his children and doted on them. Laura and Cora used to love to play with his hair and practice braiding it. So sometimes he’ll walk around proudly with random braids, hair ties, bows and clips in his hair lol. He would get down on his hands and knees and let Derek ride on his back and let him grab onto his hair and pretend they were reigns as he galloped around with him on his back, Derek would squeal and laugh all through the house. (Sorry I’m about to make this tragically depressing but it wouldn’t be a Hale story if it wasn’t angsty) Sadly, Xavier Hale was killed in a calculated attack by an invading pack trying to take over the Hale territory in Beacon Hills. The Hale pack completely tore them apart, and Talia went after the Alpha that killed her mate and tore their throat out with her teeth. Derek was 11 years old, Laura 15, and Cora 6 when their father was killed. The loss was unbearable, and Talia came close to loosing herself, but ultimately chose to stay strong and keep her head up for her children and her pack because they needed her…… 5 years later, the fire happened. After the fire, Derek found it harder to look in the mirror than after his father died, because he swore he could see the disappoint in his father’s eyes through his own reflection. Looking at his reflection was just a painful reminder of all that he lost. He also found it hard to look Laura in the eyes, who is now the new Alpha, because she looked and acted so much like Talia, especially when in Alpha mode. When things felt especially tough, Derek would lay his head on Laura’s lap and she would play with his hair to comfort both him and herself. Even though Derek’s hair was shorter, she would try to braid his hair the best she could even if Derek’s hair looked like a complete mess after, it was comforting, and he loved her so he let her. After Laura is killed by Peter, Derek literally refused to look at his own reflection for a while. Years later, after he finds out Cora is alive, he would sometimes lay his head in her lap while she played with his hair.
ok, I just finished the Teen Wolf movie. My expectations weren't high, but boy was it bad.
the three redeemable parts of it were:
Eli Hale
Coach Finstock (cause he's just awesome, and the definition of chaotic good)
Allison returning (I missed her, but they also could have done it better)
Aside from that, it was just poorly done. bad writing, bad effects, and everything seemed over exaggerated. Aside from a few points, the overall story just didn't make sense, and there were too many things that changed over the last 15 years that weren't properly explained. New relationships, breakups, why they decided to keep the jar containing the Nogitsune in a restaurant rather than the Hale vault. things like that. Also Harris made no sense whatsoever.
Also they just really needed Stiles and Kira, even Ethan. I get that Allison was killed by the Nogitsune, but Stiles and Kira were the key parts of that storyline. and Aiden was killed by the Nogitsune, so he definitely had a larger stake in this fight then Jackson, Liam, or Hikari. However I totally respect the actors' decisions to stay out.
There were a few gems in there and a couple of cool shots that'll be fun to draw though
I'll leave it here, mostly because if I go any further down this rabbit hole this post will be 10 feet long :)
Sheesh, it seems that whenever I'm writing on Tumblr it's to complain about a tv show or movie. I'll post some art or something soon
