I didn't ever watch Teen Wolf, but judging entirely based on my reaction to gifsets on my Tumblr dash, I am also fond of Scott and also Scott/Allison which I found adorable.
(I also had zero interest in the fandom juggernaut, either as a pairing or as individual characters.)
I will never, ever understand why that particular pairing took off.
(or I suppose I saw the potential in the character, and saw the writers squander it, as they squandered almost everything the show had going for it).
Yeah...
Ooof, yeah, I can see why that fandom would not be fun for you either.
Looking back, those two fandoms (plus Inception) were probably solely responsible for why I completely lost interest in being involved in megafandoms (or even just big-by-Tumblr-standards fandoms like Sleepy Hollow). It was so lonely and unpleasant to like characters and ships that everyone else hated.
This makes me sad. Not that it isn't great that you found a Better Way fandom-wise, but just that you felt like you had to get out of bigger fandoms. I would have wished for a different path for you.
But again: so glad you figured out a way to fan that makes you happy!
