#jesus H CHRIST DO YOU SEE THEIR FACES #Stiles looks so resigned and determined and his face reflects so much of his character #he’s so brave. he’s only a human. he’s very breakable but HE STILL SAVED DEREK #and for a moment Derek looks like he’s seconds away from a minor breakdown #but then he nods and pulls himself back together #and isn’t that just like him. he’s the one that moves forward despite his trials and despite what he’s gone through #he just brushes it off and soldiers on #aren’t these two such a pair. their characters complement each other so interestingly #and so if you ever wonder why I like their relationship so much I’m gonna point you to this photoset #because it really says all you need to know about these two characters and their relationship with each other (via:sempiternalsea)
#poor wes though #his therapist tells him he’s the asshole of the group #and his partner constantly reminds him of reasons why he’s imperfect #no wonder wes can’t move forward from alex #he doesn’t have the confidence to believe that someone else could actually love him like that ever again #he thinks no one could love an anal retentive control freak cop who has so much baggage to haul along with him #so instead he puts up a wall between himself and everyone else #even people he used to really get along well with #because he figures they’re just going to reject him anyway — who wouldn’t reject him? #so he self-handicaps himself by pushing and pushing and pushing others away #until they eventually do leave him and confirm his assumption that he is unlovable #so he’s just forever stuck in this vicious little self-fulfilling prophecy that he’s set up for himself #and he’s too proud to ask for help #and he knows that even if he did ask for help he’d probably get turned down#because he thinks that whoever he told would see how flawed and messed up he really is and they’d laugh at him or leave him #so he pretends it’s okay #and he pretends he doesn’t need anybody #because he’d rather sit alone at home every night than face the pain of someone not loving him again #I JUST HAVE A LOT OF WES FEELINGS
