Okay. So. It is possible that I was a little more taken in by Teen Wolf than my tumblr would indicate.
It is possible that this is because I may have created an entirely new side-blog for the sole purpose of channeling this newfound obsession into something that won’t annoy or spam people who are decidely uninterested and mostly wish the people they follow would stop it with the Teen Wolf already ohmygod is there something in the water because it appears to be spreading at rates not unlike that of a pandemic.
…Right.
In any case. If anyone has any interest. Thar she be.

I’m fine. Except for the not sleeping. The jumpiness. Constant, overwhelming, crushing fear that something terrible is about to happen.
(Or, How Next Season will be the Year of Stiles)
So I have this theory that Teen Wolf is doing something really interesting in regards to the symbolism of the classical five elements and how the show uses those elements within their storytelling. It’s more than just the fact that each season seems to revolve around a single element, it’s that this element doesn’t just drive the material thematically, but also directly relates to the actual plot.
And, more than that, I think that when you dig a little deeper you find that each of these elements are also at the center of each of the main characters, both symbolically and in direct relation to their ultimate character arcs.
But let me start at the beginning. Bear with me here.
