But no they are super magical soulbond mates that were born to be together forever and ever starting right the fuck now!

Yeah no. This relationship, and their fans, is super creepy and unhealthy. If there was actually a relationship. Which there is not.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I agree. And I say this as a shipper, I love playing in the Sterek sandbox. But too many fans look over the creepy/unhealthy aspects, and if the show made it canon, they would too.

(Then again, most of my ships are unhealthy/creepy one way or another. Stiles/Peter, Moriarty/Moran, and Ragnar/Athelstan/Lagertha to name my other current ones)

Where did the mates thing even come from anyway? Did I miss something?

[(Anonymous)]

I blame Twilight. For everything.

[forgottenjester]

Is there a large Twilight fan and Teen Wolf fan overlap? I did not know this but now that I think about it, it makes sense.

And that's where it comes from? Huuuuhhhh... from what I understand, Twilight werewolves and Teen Wolf werewolves are very different things.

The whole mates thing is actually a pretty common trope when it comes to werewolves. I think the popularity of a/b/o and fans of that within the TW fandom probably contributed to its popularity with TW fans, but it's something you see in a lot of fic involving weres even prior to a/b/o stuff. The whole werewolves having animal insticts idea plays into it, too.

Re: DA

[forgottenjester]

Huh, interesting. Thanks for the heads up, anon. I appreciate it.

But, like, isn't that not completely accurate of wolf mating habits anyway? *Looks them up on Wikipedia* Yeeaaaahhh, it's not. Oh fandom. You're so cute.

Re: DA

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it's not indicative of wolf mating habits at all. A lot of people like to claim the whole a/b/o thing is, but while the terms are the same, the way they operate really aren't, lol.

Re: DA

[forgottenjester]

A lot of people like to claim the whole a/b/o thing is

I've heard that and I dipped my toes into the fic to see what it was about.

Yeeaaaahhhh no. They're nothing alike, really. Besides, the origin of a/b/o is based on some prompt from the Supernatural Kink Meme.

Re: DA

[(Anonymous)]

It's got a lot of the same tropes as d/s verse and soulbonding fic found in other fandoms prior to Supernatural, too. Some of it can be interesting, but a lot of it is pretty silly, and definitely not at all an analog for wolf mating habits, lol.

Re: DA

[forgottenjester]

I get you. I've seen the similarities. And yeah, some of the fics I read were interesting. I'm actually one of those people who would actually read a/b/o if it had a plot about the inequalities or had a revolution or something. Which is apparently a common enough sentiment here, if I recall.

Re: DA

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm the same way. I've read a few that actually have some interesting world building and do focus on those things, but they're pretty few and far between. It does seem to be a pretty common sentiment here, too.

(I totally get why some people don't like it, too, since a lot of it is poorly written, has tropes like mpreg that a lot of people don't like, and the consent can be rather dubious and/or non-existent and tread into the whole rape-is-love territory.)

Re: DA

[forgottenjester]

Duuuuude, anon, are we the same person? Because we're having the same thoughts. I'm not even joking.
