The great Jeff Davis Tumblr askathon of February 2013

Wasn’t it nice to have Jeff Davis back in the world of social media? I didn’t realize how much I missed the snarky bastard until he came back – if only for a moment. For those of you that are unaware, Jeff Davis (is a gift) took over the Official Teen Wolf Tumblr earlier today to answer questions from fans. While he didn’t really tell us much that we didn’t already know there were definitely a few things worth taking note of.

Right well I am going to give you a complete recap of what was said for those of you that asked me (why you can’t just read it yourself I don’t know, whatever) but before that I want to draw attention to a couple of things that excited me.

First off though let’s all get excited because Teen Wolf Season 3 has an official airdate: June 3, 2013.

Now that I am done jumping up and down like a crazy person in the middle of a coffee shop we can get down to business (the old lady next to me is looking at me strangely but the staff don’t bat an eyelash at my crazy anymore). Let’s talk about the fact that 306 “Motel California” scares the living crap out of me because if Jeff thinks it’s the darkest episode ever to the point that he thought he would have to fight for it then my body is most definitely not ready. Add to that the fact that Dylan wrote a scene for this episode and I’m basically already crying because I cannot handle Stiles feels at the moment. Plus we have the added Stiles angst from the bromance love triangle. Scott might be trying to be a better everything but something tells me he’s probably going to fail. If I am going to have to deal with this many Stiles feels I am going to need some shirtless Dylan to make up for it.

Then if we make it through that episode we have to deal with 308 – Hale flashbacks, pre-fire Derek – nope. I don’t want to talk about it. I’m also going to need lots of shirtless Hoechlin (preferably on the ground thrusting) to make it through.

Speaking of shirtlessness! We already know we’re seeing the Alpha twins shirtless, now Isaac and Danny (not together obviously or maybe they are). Also shorts for cross-country… I’m not opposed to that.

You know what else I’m not opposed to – the millions of fic I expect to see about Derek at Splash. For those of you that don’t know Splash quite a well know gay club in New York. I know that Jeff was being his snarky self when he said this but I have decided that Derek hanging out in the gay nightclub circuit (possibly working at a bar) is my new favourite thing. Also Jeff is my favourite person because don’t you think for a second that he didn’t know what he was doing (let’s ignore the possibly queerbaiting implications). He can’t feign innocence all he wants he is a master troll and we love him for it.

Finally before I give you the dot points of the event let’s talk about Sterek because Jeff answered two questions about the ship. In the first one he played dumb, which is how he reacted to pretty much everything else that he couldn’t answer (like the questions about Derek’s love interest). But when someone asked if Sterek bothered him he had this to say:

Sterek does not bother me at all! I love the artwork, the unbelievable fan enthusiasm over it. How could I not like fans being passionate about two characters?

This pretty much sums up everything I have been saying to people about talking about Sterek. Seeing as I am no one, people might actually listen to Jeff. So check that quote and quit your worrying because you are not offending anyone by enjoying Sterek.

Right well here’s what went down as seen though my sleepy coffee deprived eyes.

What did we learn about Jeff:

• His two favourite places are his new house in Hollywood and the Teen Wolf set and if he could go anywhere past present he would travel to the future to see what Apple come up with next.

• We will learn why some werewolves can turn into full wolves in one specific episode.
• The similarities between Derek’s tattoo and the Alpha pack symbol has a deeper meaning.

Other miscellaneous happenings:

• If they played Hockey rather than Lacrosse in Beacon Hills Stiles would be defense because he would be good at blocking the puck with his head.
• Werewolves don’t have to go to the dentist (in other news I have decided to take the bite).
• Everyone agrees that Unicorns are awesome and Vampires are not.
• There could be a season 4 (if they survive Season 3).
• The Teen Wolf novel – On Fire – is not necessarily canon.
• Melissa inherited her house from her mother (that’s how they can afford to live in such a big house).
• He asks the casting director to find him sexy and they do.
• A female werewolf on her period on the full moon would not be good.
• Jeff has offered to pay Matt’s therapy bill (he’s going to need it).
• Real normal love is never an option on Teen Wolf.
• Jeff sees Stiles as Perseus – he needs to be given a supernatural weapon to survive.
• We could have an entire hour of naked Dylan O’Brien but it probably wouldn’t be called Teen Wolf (and it would probably be pay-per-view).
• Tips for meeting Dylan O’Brien – “If you see him go into attack position, lie flat on the ground and pretend you’re dead. Wait for him to sniff you. This could take several minutes. When he’s docile, pet him gently on the cheek with the back of your hand. ONLY with the back of your hand.”
• Derek and Laura went to Splash Bar in New York (seriously Jeff, sometimes I love you more than I love myself).
• Derek gets his money from insurance.
• Peter is loosely based on Iago from Othello.

Right well that’s all I got – most of the stuff Jeff said we’ve heard before but as I discussed above there were a couple of things that tickled my fancy. It was certainly fun to see Jeff interacting with the fandom again, we’ve been deprived for too long. Now we have to settling in for the wait because there are only 104 days before Season 3 begins.
