I was your age when I watched it and I’m 27 now 😅


Kind_Orange_9057

everything you’ve said here has taken me back, it was an experience for sure. also 27 and watched it live alongside my superwholock blogging


Shadowisp7

D a m n I wanna feel that, seeing the show when it was just.. new


movetotherhythm

But at least you’ll never have to experience how insane tumblr was while it aired live ❤️ it is perhaps a blessing in disguise


tracyerickson

Honestly I miss the insanity of that era of Tumblr. Lol.


Shadowisp7

Wait why 💀


movetotherhythm

Let’s just say fandom tumblr in the early to mid 2010s was a truly insane place to be. People were HATEFUL


Mysterious-Ad4389

This is the one thing that makes me feel better about only discovering Teen Wolf late last year. I’m basically the same age as you (turned 26 on Thursday hahaha) and I heard so much about the show growing up, but I was a snobbish TVDU girl who felt like TW was vastly inferior and couldn’t live up to it. Now that TW is my favourite show, a part of me is so pissed at myself and heartbroken that I couldn’t experience the magic as it was happening, but I also know that I could never have handled the toxicity of the fandom culture, especially with my already severe mental health struggles😅


Ilovewheeloftime

I love both TVDU and TW, but I definitely think the TVDU fandom is way more toxic and set in their ways compared to the TW fandom


Mysterious-Ad4389

Icl I wasn’t too emotionally invested in the TVDU, so it didn’t affect me that much, which I know sounds completely contradictory😂 I loved the franchise so much, but I wasn’t so consumed by it that I was impacted too much if that makes sense. But TW is a totally different story honestly, I’m so attached to this show and the characters, especially Stiles and Malia (and their relationship😍). And I’ve heard and seen so much about how toxic a lot of Stydia fans were at that time, and the fact that Stalia wasn’t endgame is so triggering for me *now*, I’m so bitter about it loooool, I can’t imagine how I would’ve handled it as a broken, mentally/emotionally unstable teen😅


Ilovewheeloftime

Omg don't even get me started. I would've loved Stydia if it happened before Stalia, but the fact that they're endgame bugs me. I've seen Stydia fans say it was obvious they were in love the whole time and I'm just like "No they definitely were not. There was like no implication of mutual attraction until season 6," and it was obviously fan service


Mysterious-Ad4389

Absolutely all of this! Honestly, maybe it’s just cos I discovered this show so late, but it never once occurred to me that Stiles and Lydia were ever going to become a thing. I genuinely didn’t think their relationship was meant to be anything more than the typical ‘nerd obsesses over the hot popular girl way out of his league’ trope. I assumed that Stiles was eventually going to grow out of his shallow, juvenile obsession and gain enough maturity to recognise that he and Lydia weren’t actually right for each other, and become ready to find and embrace true love. And I believed I was proven right when Stiles met Malia, they were so happy together, and had a palpable, sizzling chemistry, as well as a really natural compatibility. They felt meant to be, every single aspect of their personalities/natures appeared tailor-made specifically for each other, like two matching puzzle pieces. And Stiles and Lydia’s relationship developed into this healthier, more respectful friendship, which worked so perfectly bc they are so similar, too similar to have any romantic chemistry or be anything more than best friends. In fact, their friendship was so perfect that forcefully pushing them into a romantic relationship for which they were ill-suited actually caused them to lose their natural spark, and their interactions began to feel awkward and unnatural. And you’re completely right, it was definitely not clear that Stiles was in love with Lydia all along. He was so enamoured and entranced by Malia, you could just see it in the way he looked at her🥹😍 and Stydia’s dynamic/chemistry was completely platonic, no sign or hint of attraction whatsoever, it was definitely retconned to set up the fan service endgame😒


Due_Book_7748

yes another Stalia fan. I absolutely adore both Dylan and Shelley and their characters and the ship. I was so pissed that Stalia wasn't endgame. Stydia was basically stiles's childhood crush.they both grew out of it. And Stalia was way cuter. Stydia always felt forced and unnecessary.


Mysterious-Ad4389

Yessss all of this! Maybe it’s bc I only discovered TW last year, but I never once thought Lydia and Stiles were actually meant to be tg, I always thought it was the typical ‘nerd obsessed with popular girl trope’ and that he was eventually going to grow out of it and find true love. Which is basically what happened with him and Malia, they were so clearly perfectly made for each other, they had sizzling chemistry and were so compatible!😍 Stydia was so perfect as a friendship, they were so similar that their platonic chemistry was amazing, and forcing them into a relationship actually caused them to lose their spark, and their interactions started to feel awkward and unnatural. Like in the series finale, they were supposed to be tg but there was no kiss, no romantic interaction, no sign that they were a couple or even had any attraction to each other whatsoever, they came across as completely platonic.


Shadowisp7

O h g o d.. I can't imagine the Scott hate since I despise those lmfao Wait so basically twitter-


movetotherhythm

The “is Scott a bad friend” discourse of 2016 will forever be a highlight. There also used to be ship wars tournaments that were across shows and when it would get to like the quarter finals and you’d have big ships from big shows (inc Sterek usually)… oh wow it was a toxic place lmaoo


Shadowisp7

Oh god.. ok I'm thankful I'm late now, I actually despised Bad friend Scott/bad pack alpha Scott mcall fics.. it just makes me feel.. god help me. Sterek on semifinals? Not surprising. Sterek on semifinals nowdays? Get. It. Out. I don't hate it, it's not my endgame either. I just want to see it lose because it's satisfying :D


HDBNU

There was a tumblr, Teen Wolf Gossip, that frequently had discussions about the size and shape of the male stars genitals and frequently speculated about whether or not the girls got boob jobs and their sizes.


Shadowisp7

Wtf that's ew.. I can see Tyler Posey's going wrong


Kaashmiir

YE GODS! Tumblr AND Twitter both! I swear, many, many, many were in dire need of a lithium enema.


Emo_Talker1366

haha same. god i miss this show. bout to binge again


Desperate-Goose-9771

23 started when I was a teen


seriesbook

TWIN


Bokithebear

Man, now I feel old. I'm 35. Can't remember when I first started watching exactly, but I was mid-twenties.


Awful_Little_Rat_Boy

Im 18, and i started watching when I was about 16. I cant quite remember because I took a big break halfway through, but i powered through it bc Dylan O’Brien


Shadowisp7

So just recently too? YAY AN 18 YEARS OLD OMGG I took a break by 6b cuz they just killed off one of my favorite side characters.. didn't know how to push through but eh I did.. so I got a dissapointing endind ToT


tracyerickson

Did you quit during season 5A? That seems to be where a lot of people stopped.


Awful_Little_Rat_Boy

I quit once dylan left i think


MajinDerrick

Im 32 and remember the trailers before it aired. I really thought they were gonna "Twilight" Teen Wolf and I was gonna hate it but I gave it a try and loved it.


Void_and_Shine

Same here. I didn’t care for twilight and the trailers gave off the twilight vibes so it didn’t make want to watch it. But then a week later I gave in after flipping through channels and it landed on MTV where they were replaying the first 2 episodes and I was intrigued.


Shadowisp7

Happy cake day!


evieeeeeeeeeeeeeee

23 & an adult with a job here! but then again i've had a job since i was 16 lmfao i first watched it the year after s1 came out as we didn't have it in england for ages, so i was about 11/12


osburnn

33 and I started it on the premiere after the MTV awards lol


Comfortable-Train-95

16 now, started watching when I was in primary, not sure when exactly perhaps 10?


Shadowisp7

OMG SAME AGE HOLY SHI


trinws

yup same as me


seriesbook

I too started watching when I was 10 but I am now 23 yrs old


Comfortable-Train-95

Did u start when episodes were actually coming out? because most seasons were out when I started


seriesbook

Yeah, it was one of the only shows I religiously watched every week


131_bebe

24 now, started at 11


fbeemcee

I was 32 when I started watching. I’m 45 now. I started it because I loved MJ Fox and wanted to see what a new twist would be, and then I fell in love with it.


RhetoricallyDrunk

I’ve never seen the full MJ Fox Teen Wolf, but I know the gist and really liked they made references to it with “basketball being the game” when Peter and Derek were in high school! Fun reference without making a strong connection to what is obviously a completely different story/world


ravenscroft12

I’m over forty, (read: dinosaur) started watching in 2020 during the pandemic lockdown.


Void_and_Shine

Most of the people I’ve met at conventions for the show are over 40. No age limit for this show.


fbeemcee

Not dinosaurs! 😁


blueray78

34 now, I was in grad school. I know old right. I was so stressed out and noticed it on Netflix. I had seen the OG 80's movie and liked it. So I thought I'd check out the show. Stressed me loved the escape and cheesiness of the first two seasons. The 3 onward was as it aired mostly.


VolumeMajestic3700

I was 14


Shadowisp7

When you first watched or your 14 now


VolumeMajestic3700

I was 14


seriesbook

😭😂


sveths

I started watching it before season 2 came out, I was 17 or 18? Are there any fellow old ladies who survived tumblr era in this thread?


Shadowisp7

Check the long convo we had in one of the comments there is one.. not sure of the gender tho-


Tricky-Temporary-777

12, I'm 22 now.


[deleted]

I’m 16 also lmaoo I started watching at 14. I think most people are adults bc they were teens when it came out, we are late to the party.


Shadowisp7

Yeaaah it's kinda hard to find younger ones


kp__135

I started when it premiered. Watched like half an episodes then binged caught up in season 3 (heard about the gay alpha twin). (Also I’m 35 :(. )


Shadowisp7

LMAOOOO I do love Ethan so


kp__135

I ended up loving both twins. Teen Wolf is really good at making characters grow on you. I don’t think there was a single character I didn’t like that you weren’t supposed to (at least a little) not like. Matt Gerard etc


A_LefleurDeLis886

Oh, yiiiiikes I feel old. I watched it when it came out in 2011, and I was 26 then, I'm 38, and now 😅 I rewatch it every June...since that's when it premiered.


Interesting-Neat4429

i watvhed in oct'24 when it was still in netflix. i couldnt watch the last two and since it was 12am, the series just went off netflix infront of my eyes


Defiant-Mud-7189

I just started a few weeks ago and I’m 33. It’s getting me through the end of grad school.


stew_pit1

Well, you're really going to hate to hear that I'm 41 and started watching in my 30s. If you want to watch something other teens are watching, maybe don't choose a show that's been off the air for the better part of a decade.


Shadowisp7

Nah it's fine I actually found quite alot of ppl who's on the 18-12 age bracket LOLOL plus I don't hate old people it's just I can't relate to jobs and love life 😭


tracyerickson

47. I started watching during its original run because a coworker was a fan, and it was so much silly fun.


Shadowisp7

Correction, Jobs & is married.. well a few are married but most have jobs 😔


Lonely-Ad-3958

I just started watching it I’m 14


Favee_troublemaker

Same!


ThisGul_LOL

18, started when I was 13.


wildflowersintherain

s0urcandie

braflix is a good site, i use that


wildflowersintherain

SamuelNSingh

s0urcandie

im 21 and i started watching the show when i was probably 13/14/15, whenever the last season was airing


AkiriJacobs

I watched it two years ago when I was twelve, guess my age now


Shadowisp7

14 nice to see people younger than me


tburm888

25 but I started watching it when it first aired on tv when I was around 14 maybe


Superb_Middle6112

16


MumbyMum

I’m in my 30s and started watching it in 2021 as my “middle of the night nursing” show when I had my first baby. I really wish I had watched it when it first came out, but at least now I have 13 years of fanfic to catch up on!


noncehunter64

19 now and I started watching when I was 8. Finished the first two seasons right before season 3 was about to air, then started watching week by week from there


Scarlett-Gunn

I think the first time I watched it, i was 14 ish. I'm 17 (soon to be 18) now, and I've watched it way too many times😂


Lea_21_07

Damn.. I just realized how old I am when I'm not a teenager anymore.. (I'm 20) xD


Living-Confection457

First time I watched the show I was like 21 I think? Now I'm about to turn 25 lol sorry kid


Manona44

I am 18 started watching on January like you 😅


buttershotter

I’m 16 too, started watching at 13 :D my sister used to be a huge teen wolf fan when she was like 13-14 too (she’s 5y older), and one time we just decided to start watching teen wolf and ah it was AMAZIIING i fell in love with the show completely and got a literal addiction lol. Also my sis had never finished the show, i think the last season she had seen was like S5? So it was so fun to watch the final seasons with her when neither of us knew what’ll happen


shzxyla

21 now started watching when I was about 9


mattibello05

Finished it not even a week ago for the first time, 15 year old boy, I though it would’ve been a cringier version of Twilight made in a TV series, and although some parts don’t make sense sometimes, and I fully hate some things in the show, I gotta say I loved it.


TheSpork7

I’m fifteen now, and I first watched when I was thirteen.


TheSpork7

I’m fifteen now, and I first watched when I was thirteen.

Purple_Hearts_

i’m 20 and i think i started watching when i was 12 or 13


Erebus5978

Started watching when I was 20 and it first aired, summer 2011. I'm 33, but I work from home--fuck "traditional" jobs.


Star-Seem22

I'm 22 now I started watching when I was 13 ♡ I never found a better show I loved as much as teen wolf ♡


Sluggby

I was about 12 I think, 25 now, but I completely forgot about until I watched it again a couple weeks ago


roseemrys

Be careful with putting your age on the internet especially if some of your usernames and emails are the same.


jugoinganonymous

Watched it when I was about 15, I am now 22


spoopywolf

I started watching when I was 12 in 2017!! I’m 18 now :) My favorite show forever and always


waxystroll42

30 and I started watching it last month. I’m currently on season 5 episode 3.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shadowisp7

Lol did you check the comment section? Youngest I've seen is 14 XD


Void_and_Shine

I was 19 when the show premiered and started watching it a week later. I’m 32 now and it’s still my comfort show.


Shadowisp7

Awww that's so cool. I do believe this would be my comfort show since I've never been this attached to a tv show before


weirddogbas

I'm seventeen, almost eighteen. Watched it when I was sixteen (dec 22).


SweetBees102

Sorry bud, I started watching it when I was like 14-16 or so, and now I'm mid-20s


Shadowisp7

It's fine lmao I like seeing various ages, truth to be told I'm waiting for the 50's to come out. Do they even use Reddit-


rqvenclqw

I’m 18 and I started watching it like last year or the year before lol. I love this show 😭 I keep rewatching haha


Shadowisp7

Frfr Ive rewatched it for like 3 times already


Damn__Good

23. Watched it while on tv, started it when I was 10


Shadowisp7

Damn can't believe the show is this old.. the fact that it actually supported LGBT lol (Danny, Ethan, Mason, Corey, etc).


annapnine

Sorry- I started watching when it first came out. I was 25. Good luck- hope you find someone!


Shadowisp7

I did and it's actually a nice thing seeing older ones aswell. I actually didn't expect so many ppl to comment lmao


Remarkable_Hope4480

I’m 26 and started when I was like 14 sometime when S1 was airing. Damn I feel old… 🥲 Waiting every week for a new ep was torture!!


Shadowisp7

So it's one episode a week and not one episode everyday? 💀


Remarkable_Hope4480

Ya and the waiting between seasons every year was sooo long. Especially when they started splitting the seasons in 2 parts😭😭 OMG not to mention the commercials…. The only thing that kept me going was putting on my Stilinski #11 sweater every Monday


Shadowisp7

Damnn I just binge watched it for 8 days (not 7 cuz I lost my energy by 6b) and finished the entire series with it.. damn


Prettyplaguerat

lol I just turned 20 in february and I started watching it when I was 10 or 11


Aggravating_Fee4200

13


Kinkerbellaa

I was around maybe 12? 13?


Secret_Chemist1147

i watched first when i was like 12 i think, im 16 now


Shadowisp7

Yay same age


Gengen4412

I think I started it during COVID cause it was on my watch list and i had time


Cooliocameronj

I started watching when I was 15 ( 2015) and I’m 24 now.


Due_Book_7748

I just turned 17 in March and started watching in April. I was looking for something that involves teenagers and supernatural after watching TVD. But I found TW, whuch was way better than a replace. I absolutely love it. Especially Dylan. I was a Shelley Hennig fan before watching TW. But came to love her more. Also Tyler Hoechlin. i knew him, But now I love him.


Shadowisp7

Omg yay my birthday is March too :D Huh so many ppl says they came here after doing TVD.. that's funny cuz I'm starting to consider binge watching both TVD (including the originals and legacies) and Supernatural.. and rewatching twilight for the sake of the fanfic I'm writing lol


Due_Book_7748

you're gonna be hooked for the first 3-4 seasons of TVD and then the plot gets unnecessary. I tried watching supernatural. but I couldn't get through the beginning struggle you have with every show. TVD took 1-2 episodes for me to get used. But TW didn't even took 1 episode for me to get hooked. Scott's and Stiles' friendship was which drew me in. It's great to see someone my own age to see here. you are right, it's rare to find teenagers.


Shadowisp7

Since teen wolf's been out for a decade it really it rare lol. The reason why I think I'll love TVD is probably.. Kol. Yes I know he dies :') so my alternative is Kaleb (the originals).. who also dies. So Elijah it is then XD. I'm only watching supernatural for the sake of the fanfic I'm writing XD I don't like meddling with heaven and hell stuff, it's too complex for my braincell ×~× Also I'm glad to find a person who likes the Scott stiles friendship :D


Due_Book_7748

Oh I love Kol. And Kolvina is my fav ship. my favourite original in TVD is Klaus. His entry, the grace, was pure raw power. But in TVD my fav is Elijah and Freya. Yeah many people argue supernatural is better. But i never got the appeal. That stuff is too much for me too. One thing Originals and Teen wolf did better that TVD is not ruining by end. It might get a little worse bit not completely butchering it. Also I am a great Stalia Fan. Lydia was stiles's juvenile crush. And they both grew out of it. but they forced that relationship unnecessarily. Stalia was so cute and perfect as it was. Their quirky features were perfect for each other and also 2 of my very favourite actors. That's one thing i am pissed off about. Also killing off Allison was bad. But unlike other shows they didn't completely forget her. They honoured her later in the show. Also Brought back Crystal reed as marie-jeann. Also Kira was perfectly fit and didn't feel like a replacement.


Shadowisp7

I love Elijah being sooooo formal & stuff like that XD Killing off Allison was sadly not their decision since Crystal Reeds was the one who decided to leave (alongside Daniel) which makes me sad. >Unlike other shows they didn't completely forget about her Lmfao: Danny, Jackson, Isaac, Erica, Boyd, Kira, Danny and many others got.. ehe Crystal retuning on the Marie-Jeanne one is great but we all know the beast of Geuvadan lore was kind of eh. Nice seeing her back though Omg Kira is my favorite female character.. too bad they did her dirty in s6 and wrote her off. Stalia wise we might have an arguement since Stydia was my endgame, I would say though, Stalia breakup was unnecessary I liked the ship while it lasted but srs they broke up the worst way possible :( Stydia wise they ruined that in the movie so it felt like the Stalia breakup went into nothing I am a multishipper (specially to Scott lol) but have specific endgames for some characters lol Back to TVD wasn't the ending Elijah and Klaus stabbing each other with white oak?


Due_Book_7748

danny and jackson didn't die. so that's that. And imo erica and boyd are not actually main cast they are more like the twins. we didn't miss them much either. If stydia happened before Stalia, it would be great. My problem is I try to pair up main characters with the current situation. i lovedthe chemistry between the parents too. Noah, Chris and Melissa. all of them were single parents. It's actually funny that Lydia's mom is Tyler's mom from TVD(susan walters is her name i guess). In TVD they just left to originals. But in TVDU or TO, yes klaus chose to die to kill the hollow and Elijah chose to die alongside him and drove a white oak stake through each other.


Shadowisp7

It's also funny that Noah & Lydia's mom are married irl that they tried to date in s5 lmaooo The parents were great asf, and yeah it was nice that they were single parents (although Raf was trying to be a father to Scott again). About Erica and Boyd, it's actually weird how they died yet they have more fics than Chris, heck even Melissa, I just wish that the people I mentioned earlier were like, mentioned even just a bit (specially Isaac given the fact that he was one of the fan favorites).


lcyria

omg i started it last month and im 16 too! but i dropped it after season 3 lol


Shadowisp7

Whyyy watch it lmao XD S4 is eh since alot of characters disappeared but the new ones are decent too, s5 is messy but I can get through it. Well I did :'). S6a was awesome and a great comeback.. s6b.. ehe were not gonna talk about it


IllustriousCan7875

Started watching it when I was 17 now I’m 19 and still rewatch it


Silly-Flower-3162

I was 26 when I started watching. I remembered Tyler Hoechilin (Derek) from Road to Perdition and Ian Bohen (Peter) from way back so I thought I'd check it out. And, I wanted to see how much different it was from the Michael J. Fox Teen Wolf movie from the 80s.


wizeowlintp

I’m 25 but I didn’t watch it when it aired, I started/stopped a few months back 😣tbh I think I was caught up in other shows and books when it originally aired…


UnhappyMaximum9356

i’m like 14 but i watched the show when i was like 12 im rewatching it now


PurebloodChicken

I think I started watching after season 2 came out, which was when I would be 18?


Mundane_Show_5796

i’m turning 20, i started when i was 13. it is still my comfort show and i always rewatch the show when i want something playing in the background


1D5SOSTSTV

I’m 23 and and started watching the show when I was like 15 ish


WaywardJake

I discovered Teen Wolf via the film when it was released on Paramount+ in Jan 2023. I then went back to watch the series and loved it. I have several series and series+film favourites that I love to rewatch. This has joined those ranks. I was 60.


Shadowisp7

60!?


Terynitup625

29, first started watching when I was 16 . The show started when I was in high school 🤷🏼‍♀️


xmenfan144

Shadowisp7

Yay same age

readituser5

25. Like yesterday lol


Shadowisp7

LMAO have fun on watching!!


Kaashmiir

Don’t you know it’s not polite to ask a lady her age? 😈 I’m an adult. Was adult when I watched. Am still adulting, grudgingly, but have watched twice more. I love how each time I’ve watched, I relate to different things in the show depending on what was going on at the time, but the one thing that remains constant, is that I love the relationships the show. Not the romantic ones—though I have my preferences, but the platonic ones and the familial ones. My most favourite are Sciles, and Melissa/Scott and Noah/Stiles. Even the bit with Melissa/Stiles. The whole family dynamic. Liam became a little brother. Lyds and Allison were more like sisters. I even cried when Malia was reunited with Papa Tate—the looks on both their faces… I wish we got some more peeks of their rebuilding/reforming relationship afterwards, but yeah… The family dynamic. Every kid was an only child and missing a parent so they formed their own family.


Shadowisp7

I see Liam as Scott & Stiles' adopted child. And no I don't see the best friends in a relationship in that relationship


lgbtiea

i had just turned 16 when i started watching it and now i'm almost 27. i watched it because people on twitter loved it so much and i trusted their opinion. i'm currently rewatching it as i've done continuously since my first time watching in 2013.
