 Posey Sings his Heart Out

There’s been quite a bit of unpleasant speculation about why Tyler Posey suddenly rediscovered YouTube last week.

My least favorite complaint among the unwashed anonymous hoards is that “He thirsty.” It seems anytime someone with a fan base directly interacts through social media with that fan base, there will be a line of nattering no-names claiming he or she is only doing it because they’re “thirsty” for attention.

I think you have to look deeper into what Posey is doing. If he wants attention, all he has to do is show up at one of the bazillion Teen Wolf-themed conventions or just go out for tacos at the Sherman Oaks Galleria where he would be mobbed by adoring fans. Instead, he decided to share something of himself, something personal, with the masses.

Music is something Posey obviously loves, something he’s been away from for a long time and something with which he obviously has some modicum of talent. The fact that he’s not the best and recognizes that fact makes his YouTube channel more interesting.

I also find his song selection to be instructive about where Posey’s head is at right now especially when he plays songs he wrote. So far, we’ve only seen two originals – one about having sex and the other about a bad breakup.





The latter selection features a guy explaining to a girl how a former girlfriend drove him away.


 * She ruined everything for me
 * Left a bad taste, it’s still hard to breath
 * Scared I’ll run into her again
 * She’s haunting me like a ghost, don’t know when to quit.

'''To be clear – published reports that this song is about his most recent relationship are wrong. This song is about a breakup but it is not about his breakup with Seana.'''

At the end of the song, Posey says he wrote this “years ago” but the fact that he brought back out now, shortly after his failed engagement, is instructive.

Personally I’m enjoying Posey’s musical reality show. He’s goofy and funny and who doesn’t need a little more of both in their lives?

 Hoechlin Stows the Stash

Tyler Hoechiln’s face chia is no more.

The mustache he sported at HowlerCon did not “break the internet” but it certainly cracked it a little.



The growth was part of his role in Richard Linklater’s latest film That’s What I’m Talking About which is set decades in the past when pornstaches were de rigueur. Now that Hoechlin wrapped his part, he’s returned to the carefully cropped stubble we know and love.



 Meta Library

Wikia User Calicokat continues this week with her series of articles introducing folks to the "META" concept of Teen Wolf. It is proving to be one of the more interesting aspects of Teen Wolf Fandom.

There are many facets (as there are with each portion of the fandom) but the simple premise behind the META movement is that there is a hidden narrative across the seasons. These articles are not designed to be a comprehensive treatise on the subject. We're only touching on the basics.

Part 4: The Secret Libary

By Calicokat


 * Derek: I think you're gonna be okay.


 * Jennifer: Obviously, you've never taught high school. In 20 minutes, I have to start two dozen teenagers on The Crucible, and I honestly have no idea what I'm gonna say.


 * Derek: Well, why don't you start by telling them that it's an allegory for McCarthyism?


 * Jennifer: Is that a subtle way of suggesting that I shouldn't say anything?

Teen Wolf cites a whole slew of literature from Shakespeare to spy thrillers. I fully credit the show for getting me reading again. Often more thematic than scene by scene, the books circle around themes of dreams, delusions, and existential uncertainty.

 Wikia Changes Coming

As some of y’all know, over the next few months we’re a beta testing site for some of the new features and formatting that Wikia Corporate is trying.

A major change is coming soon. I can’t give you specifics due to a non-disclosure agreement but I will say that some of our pages may look weird as I start reformatting in advance of the changes.

This was actually supposed to be a quite a bit bigger announcement today because the beta was supposed to start tomorrow – they’ve pushed it further into December now but since it is coming up we’ll still be making some changes to get ready.

Once the beta begins you’ll be able to provide feedback directly to corporate about the overall re-design but the job of making our content look good within the new framework will fall to us.

Issues with individual pages should still be sent to an admin. If stuff looks bad or weird on whatever device you use to access the site – let me know.

 Dylan O’Brien is still the Best

Dylan returned to New Mexico this week to resume work on The Scorch Trials. He was greeted in the Albuquerque airport by a number of fans. He stopped and took time to pose for pictures and chat with each and every one of them.



We’ve seen this before which suggests he is simply the best human celebrity ever.
