do not watch teen wolf
do not click upon the first episode and watch it all the way through and come to the end thinking “wow fandom is wrong this show is straight-up grade a GARBAGE CITY”
do not click upon the second episode mostly out of spite to prove to yourself that you are not going to succumb to what is obviously a baseless internet phenomenon
do not watch episodes 3-9 of with a weird combined sense of “well i’m just looking at this so i can understand the fic and everything but it’s not like i’m falling prey to the brain scrambles it seems to be giving people or anything” and what feels like the distant whooshing sensation of something leaving you behind
do not watch all the rest of the episodes only to realizing that what was making that whoosing sensation was THE ABRUPT EXIT OF YOUR GRIP ON REALITY
do not watch teen wolf; do not watch this show
run
save yourself
^ Pretty much sums up exactly what happened to me. I might not have become addicted if I didn’t watch season 2.
