There was no way I wasn't going to reblog this

Hi! I was just thinking back about all the sterek moments and I remembered the scene in the last episode season three where Derek dreamed of Stiles. I don't remember what he was asking him, but since it was Stiles, do you think they were implying that he's Derek's anchor?

Oh hell yes, they were. 

Let me just rant for a moment…

STILES STILINSKI IS DEREK HALE’S ANCHOR.

And let me explain why/how this came to pass.

 Back in seasons 1 and 2, Derek explained that his anchor was his anger towards Kate after his family died in the house fire, but then Stiles came along and outed Kate’s lack of morals to Chris and Peter slashed open her throat, leaving Derek with a lot of unfounded anger that he couldn’t ground and so turned it on everyone around him. Then along came season 3 and that anger turned into depression as he watched the members of his pack - his new family - being killed or found dead. And who was there for hi when all others were scared to go near him? 

Stiles was.

Stiles was the only one who was brave enough and caring enough to break down Derek’s walls and get to him on an emotional level.

But it’s also Stiles who keeps him on his toes and constantly keeps him thinking, and while Derek mocks him at times by saying that to think like Stiles is to think ‘like  hyperactive spazz’, but it’s his connection to Stiles and his ability to think like him that he is able to find Braeden and Satomi’s pack before they all die.

It’s also Stiles who tries to make him smile or tests his patience (like he does in the ‘Let’s see that fist, Big Guy’ scene) to prove that Derek isn’t just a creature of rage and to show him that he’s still human.

So, when Derek is scared and couldn’t tell if he was dreaming or not, his mind went to the person who is his emotional centre and who can help him through any situation with reasoning, someone who knows what it’s like to face loss, depression and anxiety; not Peter, not his mother, not his sisters, but his anchor: Stiles.

And this is why I hate Jeff Davis: he set Stiles and Derek up as soulmates, as each other’s anchors and saviours, but then he threw that all out the window for the sake of poorly written heteronormative ‘relationships’.

(Thank you for listening, sorry for the rant)
