I think the vampire diaries glosses over what Damon did to Caroline ; and for that reason I can never be a Damon girl. She was better than me I couldn’t just forget that and be all smiles and giggles. And Stefan knew his brother was up to no good he ain’t no better. I would have made it my mission to make Damon miserable and suffer after the compulsion had been over.

Today's challenge: What are five of your most unpopular opinions about TVD?! You may already know mine: 1. IMO, first few seasons of this show and even parts of the later seasons are genuinely great television, not just a 'guilty pleasure' 2. While I like Stefan, I don't love him quite as much as most of our fandom does 3. I'm a huge Elena stan for reasons we've discussed 4. I'm kind of obsessed with Mabekah and Steferine 5. I love the oft overlooked Matt and he's sneakily important to the show

I’m getting to these so late, but thank you! These are excellent opinions and I support them. :) (I love Matt, oh boy.)

1. The most well-told of Caroline’s romances, as they exist in canon, is her and Matt. Every other relationship she’s in I can’t fully buy or be invested in as much as I would like to be because of the writing. Again- this is in canon. In terms of chemistry and characterization and possibility- I think all of them work in different ways. I’m a Caroline multi-shipper I guess? I still love my vision of what Stefan and Caroline could have been. Klaus as the Love of Caroline’s Life makes SENSE. She and Tyler are very sweet and innocent at first and it feels real! I even think that she and Enzo could have worked! Caroline COULD WORK WITH SO MANY PEOPLE so it’s kind of sad that she doesn’t, canonically, really work with anyone.

2. I really, really hate how the show uses Caroline as a mouthpiece in the endless ship baiting of season 4 and, especially, season 5. It’s jarring and obvious and often pretty out of character. She deserved better. (So did Elena.)

3. I don’t see anything romantic about Damon and Bonnie. It’s not that I don’t get why people ship it because the friendship is beautiful, the love is real, and the chemistry is good (#thathug). It’s just- to me none of that translates to a romantic relationship. At all. They’re too alike in some ways and not enough alike in others. Also I just don’t ever think they’re in love. I don’t see it and I don’t think the characters see it either. 

4. The show, especially in later seasons, is so wildly inconsistent about characterization that everyone is free to pick and choose what they consider canon. Everyone, at some point or another, does something RIDICULOUS and DUMB and we should all be free to say “that was a dumb decision and I don’t consider it canon”. I’m on season 7 now and it is one giant L O L. 

5. This is my big one. I don’t think Stefan ever fully got over Katherine and so I don’t think that he was ever really in love with Elena. The show disagrees with me on both these points (and many other people as well, I suspect) and because the show disagrees with me I don’t have textual evidence on my side in that the show frequently (and imo heavy-handedly) contradicts me. But in a deeper sense the show does support me through characterization and actions, if not in words, and I still think I’m right. Some day I will write a thesis on it. I think he comes to care for Elena deeply and even to love her- it’s not that I think he’s lying when he says that he loves her- but I think it’s the friendship that blooms underneath the romance that’s real, not the romance itself. 

I see Stefan’s romantic feelings for Elena as some combination of good ol’ delusion, desperation for a human life and love, and a need for a fresh start- a chance to undo the wounds of his Katherine past with the human and “good” version of her. The fact that Stefan is not aware of this doesn’t bother me because that’s human and real. What’s disappointing is that the show never acknowledges that, though it wrote the truths in there anyway, and so it doesn’t develop the compelling and thematically rich disconnect between why he thinks he came to Mystic Falls and why he actually did. It never explores the connections between Stefan’s relation to Katherine, vampirism, and Elena in all their true complexity and because of that Stefan’s storyline- especially re: Elena being The Love of His Life (me throwing popcorn at my screen: she’s not, you idiot)- ends up being forced and underdeveloped and personally disappointing to me because the bones of an incredible, painful, and truthful redemption arc about self-discovery and realization and growth and healing are tHERE.

I really do think that Stefan and Katherine should have been together in tvd. Yesterday I was thinking about how Elena was the one who made Damon embrace his humanity and I thought that the same could have happened with Stefan but backwards. Let me explain: Stefan sucked at being a vampire, we all know this, because he was a ripper and with that came the guilt, the brooding and all that stuff, and also and the most important thing he hated being a vampire. His one and only desire was to be human, that’s why he dated Elena and pretended to be a normal guy. He wanted a human girl with a human life (his words not mine) Same with Damon, he hated being human, in fact he couldn’t think of anything more miserable remember…So Damon ended up wanting to be human and embracing the human side of him thanks to Elena and just imagine how amazing it could have been if Stefan learnt to love his own nature and embrace his vampirism thanks to Katherine.

In my opinion, if this had happened Stefan would have been a much better character with a real character growth arc and it would’ve been just so fucking interesting. The love story could have worked as well as the delena relationship did.

Also, Katherine was the one who turned him so it could be so great if she was the one who teached him how to make a good vampire, how to love being one.

I also think that Stefan couldn’t love anyone right until he learnt to love himself, so…

And if they didn’t want to make nothing romantic between them, although I think it should have been, it could have been a really good friendship that improved the lives of both.

Caroline : Hehehehe

Caroline : I always knew you were obsessed with me but damm, you went all highschool crush on me

I had completely forgotten this and. seeing him burn his multiple pages full of sketches of Caroline's face as if he's trying to ~exorcise her~ out of his system is SO FREAKING HILARIOUS when we know what we know LMAO.

like. my man. you're going to die still in love with her. she is going to be your last love. this emo moment is pitiful xDD

Omg, I love them so much!!!!!! We were robbed of another amazingg, iconic and splendid duo!!! And this comes back to one of my ideas : Katherine is a surivor, Caroline is a fighter and together they are thrivers!!!!! (I'm making this a tag)

I woke up I was stuck in a dream You were there you were tearing up everything  - Mikky Ekko – We Must Be Killers

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

chloe gong really just said “enemies to lovers is about looking someone in the eye and knowing all the darkest parts of them and knowing they know all the darkest parts of you and having a mutual respect and admiration for the other but being too unwilling to admit it and walking away because you love them too much to hurt them but not enough to give up your world for them and hoping that they find someone they deserve in the end” and expected me to walk away okay

Juliette Cai x Jude Duarte headcanons

Them comparing their knives and daggers and giving each other advice on how to be better at murdering people.

Juliette giving Jude fashion advice because Juliette's outfits are on point🤌🏻

Jude telling Juliette how to better hide a dead body

They both would definitely talk about their husbands and the stupid things they have done

Juliette: I once held Roma to knifepoint.

Jude: Weak! I held Cardan to knifepoint and then proceeded to make out with him.

Juliette: I faked the death of Roma's bestfriend to save the city

Jude: I straight up killed Cardan's best friend and hid his body in my murderer step-dad's estate.

Jude: Cardan threw me in the river because he didn't know how to handle a crush

Juliette: Roma shot at me in a theater full of people and then hurt himself in the process. I had to save myself and bandage up the idiot🤦🏻‍♀️

Jude: Gurll?? Are you sure he is the one?

Jude: Cardan has a tail!!

Juliette: No way! Does it wag when he gets excited to see you?

And Roma and Cardan would be standing in the corner looking at their wives in awe and being utterly grateful that these godesses haven't left them.

Why can’t I find any one who shifts to the vampire diaries. Like this show is popular and yet all I can find are old posts that aren’t active any more. 🙄

was going through my old edits and found this... when I say WE WERE ROBBED, I mean it all these scenes are canon, it's insane

The other day I was walking out the back door at work and a crow startled me and I can tell I'm far gone on the Vampire Diaries because, just for a split second, something in my brain went "Damon? Is that you?"

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, 1.16 ‘There Goes The Neighborhood’

Masterlist / Serie Masterlist

You started walking towards your house with disappointment on your shoulders. Your tired of every meeting with Stefan ending up like this. He always took a job, was always busy with Elena. Even if you didn't want to see truth, deep down you knew. You were hurting more and more each day. Because he's loves still Elena.  You get it your key in your pocket and walked to Caroline's house.

You've been living with them for several years. The sheriff agreed because she didn't want you to stay with your abusive family any longer.. You and Caroline have grown closer since then. You distanced yourself from Elena during your time with her and decided she wasn't such a great friend after all.. Yet you didn't turn your back on her when she asked you for help.

When you entered the garden, you saw the box in front of the door. It was a large rectangle of navy blue and tied with a beautiful white ribbon. You bent down and picked it up. It had your name handwritten on it. You pursed your lips. While holding the box with one hand, you opened the door with the other and entered. "Hey, Care!"

"I'm here, babe!" When you heard her voice from the hall, you closed the door with your foot. You took off your boots and put on your slippers instead. You left the key on the key ring and walked over to her with the box in hand.

"Did you see who left this?” The large box in her hand immediately caught the blonde's attention. She quickly got up from the sofa she was sitting on and came towards you.

"No, but I have a guess. " she said gruffly. She took the box from his hand and placed it on the table. You both had the his name in mind and didn't like he equally.. Caroline's reason was that he had hooked Tyler and confused him. Yours was different. When you first saw him, you didn't know who he was. He looked good as hell, and all you could think about was to go talk to him—until you saw Elijah by his side. He also tried to talk to you two days after that, but you snapped him. He had tried to kill your friends, had made Stefan his slave, and killed Jenna. You didn't really sympathize with him.

At least that's what you told yourself

"Will you open?" Caroline nudged you impatiently. You nodded and took a deep breath, taking the envelope in your hand. Trying not to tear it, you opened it through the cut and took the note inside. Caroline poked her head over your shoulder and looked at the paper.

Dear Y/N,

We would love to see you and your friend Caroline at the Mikaelson Ball. For new beginnings and the continuation of traditions. 

You turned the back of the paper. There was a handwriting that you did not recognize, but when you saw the name at the bottom, you knew who it belonged to. "Save me a dance, fondly. -Klaus."

"Really?"You rolled your eyes and threw the paper on the table. It would be foolish of him to really expect you to do this. You weren't even planning to go to that ball, but he wanted a dance from you.Still, you couldn't help your curiosity. Your hand went to the box to get the rabbit out of the hat. "I hope it's a very bad dress." You laughed at Caroline and opened the box. Well... that was a beautiful dress.

You've never seen anything more like this. It was dark blue. There were silver embroideries on the corset part. The tulle straps on her shoulders looked very nice. You noticed that Caroline was also keeping quiet."So I guess it's not such a bad dress, huh?" You turned your head to him. She grabbed the dress by shoulders and lifted it into the air. She turned his head towards you and raised her eyebrows."Are you joking me?"

She slowly placed the dress in the box and placed her hands on your shoulders. “This dress is amazing. See those seams? Handmade. I'm starting to think he's starting to really like you. Because if I had a dress like this, I wouldn't gift it to anyone." You tried hard not to roll your eyes.

"Well, you can wear it. I'm not coming to the prom." You closed the lid of the box and turned, leaving it on the table, but Caroline sped ahead with vampire speed.. "What about the Elena's plan? You know you need to stall Klaus.” Yeah, of course there was that topic. Yes, you hated Klaus but you really didn't feel comfortable playing tricks on him.

Tell them this over and over, but they all come back to you with the same words. 'This is for our friend.' 

"Look around, when was the last time Elena did something for us?" Caroline's lips opened to answer, but closed back just as quickly. You guessed. "I thought so, too." You left her there, walked past her, and went to your room. You closed the door behind you. You lay on your back on the bed. You pressed your lips together and tried to ignore the pain in your heart. Ever since you met Klaus, that pain hasn't gone away. You pressed your hand there. You closed your eyes and took a few deep breaths. You could go and have a calming tea or go to the hospital, but staying was very difficult. You couldn't answer when the doorbell rang.

"Y/N?" Caroline opened the door and slowly walked in. She had come to your sooner than your thought. You didn't get up but you turned your head towards her. "I'm sorry." You nodded and started to sit on the bed with support from the bed. She sat next to you on the bed and slumped cross-legged. "I know you don't want to come, but can't you at least come because he wants to see you?" you knew who she meant. "Never mind Elena."

“I really don’t think I can go to Care . I feel sick.” As soon as you finished your sentence, she put her hand on your forehead. You frowned. You said, “Witches don't get physically sick.”. She pulled her hand away and looked at you. "But my heart aches. It's like having a seizure."

"When was the last time you had a seizure?" she asked. Normally she would be there at moments like this, but sometimes you tried to hide it from her.

"I don't know, " you nodded your head. She reached out and hugged you. you put your arms around her.

"I love you, okay? I can stay here tonight if you want."

"No, no. If you're going, I'll go too." she laughed and stepped back. "I'm going to wear that dress and come with you, but just because I don't want to be home alone." Caroline nodded and took your hand. You two started laughing after a few seconds of silence. "I love you too. You're my best friend, Caroline."

"Okay, we have to start getting ready!" Caroline quickly got out of bed and left the room. You were feeling a little better, the pain in your heart was starting to go away. You did breathing exercises until Caroline came into the room with the box in her hand.. "I have a blue dress, we can match and I'm sure Stefan will fall in love with you all over again when he sees you in this dress." Even if you don't think like her, you shook your head so that she wouldn't be discouraged.. You got out of bed and opened the box and held the dress over you. It fit her size perfectly.

"Come on, I'm sure there are better boys at the ball than Tyler.” Caroline grimaced. You knew she really loved Tyler, but being Klaus' half-blood had changed him a lot. Besides, he hadn't been around for a long time. He had bitten Caroline, on Klaus' orders, and left you dependent on him. You knew Klaus already knew about this, but you ended up you go to him and asked him to help. Even though you did this to save Caroline, the others sent you to her because you 'grabbed klaus'.

You were caught off guard when Caroline threw the pillow she had taken from your bed on your head, and the pillow hit you and fell to the floor. You rolled your eyes as she left laughing. With a quick flick of your wrist, you closed the door and began to take off your clothes. You really didn't think Klaus liked you enough to send you a dress like this. You always thought that his interest was to get you to his side, but that's starting to feel more and more real.You straightened your shoulders after putting on the dress. It looked beautiful on your and was even more comfortable than you  thought. You walked to your closet and looked for shoes to match the dress.

You took them out thinking your white heels were appropriate. You sat down at the vanity to get your hair styled into the style you wanted. There was a little excitement in you. It was a really good opportunity to work things out with Stefan. If he doesn't get caught up in Elena's plan. You felt like you really loved him, even though your brain was telling you to break up with him.

When Caroline came into your room, the two of you started experimenting with different hairstyles. You continued your fun until two hours before the prom. When you finally got your hair in the style you wanted, you started on your make-up.. "Do you think I should break up with Stefan?" you asked, not taking your eyes off the mirror as you put on your lipstick.

"Why would you even think of such a thing?" she was dusting her face with powder. As she waved the brush at you, your nose itched from the dust. She laughed and went on with her work. You slapped her on the shoulder. 

"I don't know." You admitted. You didn't know how long you had been dealing with this thought.

"It's just… He's very busy with Elena. You know. Everyone's so busy with Elena." Caroline realized what you meant. You both love Elena -most of the time, at least. But gradually you realize that you are being pushed into the background.

"At least we're each other's first choice." she said. You smiled and nodded. "If you no longer know what to do with his love, I will support you." You continued to apply your makeup. You commented on what Caroline said while she was telling you something. You left the house a little while before the prom. You grabbed a thin jacket and slid into Caroline's arm. Mikaelson Mansion wasn't very far so you walked the way there.

"You should talk to Klaus." You turned your head to blonde. "If you don't like him, he really shouldn't try so hard.."

"He killed Jenna. He's enemy."

"He's Elena's enemy. Not your." You remained silent and bit your lips. You truly loved Jenna and grieved her death. Even that was enough to make Klaus your enemy, but... You couldn't look at him like your previous enemies..

As you entered, the servant at the door took your jacket from ypur shoulder. Caroline slipped out of your arm. "I'm going to Bonnie's."

"Are you going to leave me alone?" when you turned your head to the left and she pointed to Klaus, who was staring at you as the woman across from him laughed. You briefly made eye contact as he looked at Klaus with him. Smiled at you.

"It looks like he won't leave you alone." You called after her as she left, but she didn't stop. You rolled your eyes and started walking towards the crowd. You didn't stop until Klaus showed up..

 "Good evening." 

"I need a drink." You took a deep breath and walked past him. The smell of him cologne seemed to get stronger with every step you took away from him... You kept walking without turning around. Drinking was an excuse, you wouldn't even drink it. You thought Klaus knew this, but he still didn't come after you. You searched for Stefan in the crowd, but he was nowhere to be seen. Elijah caught your attention as you struggled to get somewhere by the wall.. During him talk, you saw Esther come down the stairs. All the Mikaelsons were there. The eldest is Finn and the youngest is Kol. Remembered  the note Klaus sent you when Elijah talked about dancing. You wore the dress because you had nothing else to wear, but you didn't intend to dance with him. You saw Stefan. You walked to go to him. You were hoping he would ask you to dance. When you followed where him eyes were looking, you saw Damon and Elena. You pressed your lips together and wanted to turn back but he had already seen you. "I didn't know you were coming."

"Caroline insisted." you said. "You?" You asked as if you didn't know the details from Caroline. 

"Ester invited Elena to speak."  You laughed in one syllable. Here it was again Elena. Stefan opened his mouth to say something, but just then Klaus came up to you..

"I asked you to book me a dance." Klaus even looked at you with a smile on his face.

Then he turned his gaze to Stefan. "I hope you don't mind if I steal your girlfriend from you for a few minutes."  You were tired now. You knew you couldn't take this relationship any longer. Before Stefan could say anything, you grabbed Klaus's outstretched hand and turned to him. "I'm sure he'll doesn't mind. Just like he doesn't mind thinking about his ex while he has a girlfriend.." You left Stefan behind as Klaus raised his eyebrows and pulled you towards the dance floor. You didn't really like doing this to him, but you didn't want to be caught off guard by what he did to you.

You looked at the others as the music started playing. You had no idea about the waltz but everyone seemed to know what they were doing. You decided to imitate what they did. Klaus turned his head towards you as you started walking and turned across. When you looked at him, he didn't say anything, he's just made you look away. He took your hand. You put your hand on his shoulder. The tension was at its peak as you did the classical dance moves around a circle.. "glad you came."

"Well, I just came for the food."

"I heard about Caroline father." You frowned when you changed the subject. Really? You're pissed that he's reacting like it wasn't him who killed him. Bill was a shitty dad but still Caroline loved him. "Don't, everybody knows you did it." You saw Klaus' brows furrow. He's acting, he's a good actor. He's just acting."I assure you my love, I didn't kill him. I wouldn't hide it if I did."

You knew Klaus well enough to know that he was someone who wouldn't shy away from what he did. You remained silent and continued to keep up with him.  "Very well, we can talk about that later. You look too beautiful in that dress."

"I didn't really have time to shop."

"I wonder what's the excuse for wearing the bracelet I gave you?" yeah, There was also a bracelet in the box. You could see in every way that it was very valuable and you wore it too. You didn't know why. You couldn't answer him. "No? Okay, you're a really good dancer.."

"Well, when Caroline wanted to be the queen of Mystic Falls, I helped her with the dance." You shook your head, pleased with the change of subject. You swallowed as you thought of what Caroline had said and turned to him. "Don't do such things."

"How?" Klaus pulled you closer with his hand on your waist. Your faces are even closer. He was smart enough to understand what you meant, but he wanted to hear the words from you..

“As if you like me. Or like you care about me. Don't act like that when you want to kill my friends." You slid your hand on his shoulder to his arm. "Just don't do that. Please." He leaned towards your ear. "But I really like you, love." He turned you around.

Kol pulled you in as you waited to meet him face to face again.. "partner exchange, darling." you turned your head and looked at Klaus. He was with Caroline, and they beside with... Stefan and Elena. You took a deep breath and turned your head to the youngest Mikaelson.

"Wasn't there really another girl left?" You tried hard not to roll your eyes. You couldn't help feeling like the Mikaelsons were stuck on you.

"No, I chose you just to understand why my brother was so impressed with you." This time you couldn't help but roll your eyes. "A hopeless romantic isn't it?"

"Yeah," You couldn't help but laugh at the smile on him face. He didn't look dangerous, but you knew he was. "Are all Mikaelsons as clingy as he is?"

"No, actually, I've never had a girlfriend before. It might be because I spent more than half of my years with a dagger." you laughed. You knew Klaus's daggers. The arm leaned towards your ear. "Besides, he's really jealous. He can't believe I'm the one making you laugh right now." As the arm moved away you turned your head and saw Klaus looking at you.. The song was almost over when you turned back to Kol.

"he's really pretty but I love my friends, he's trying to kill them. It's not a very good combination." Kol laughed as the music ended. After seeing couples slowly pull back and bow, you mimicked them. "I hope to meet again soon, darling." You smiled as Kol placed a kiss on her hand over her gloves. Indeed, if he weren't the enemy, you could even say it was a pleasure to talk to him.. You nodded and left the dance hall. You went out into the backyard as the mansion was starting to get crowded.

You were watching the garden from the door when you saw horses ahead. You went outside, not caring that it was a little cold. You walked towards them. You ran your hand through someone's mane. As the horse bent down and ate the grass on the ground, you felt someone else's presence next to you. "We finally alone, ha?"

"I'm not talking to you until you tell me why you invited me here." You spoke quickly without turning your head towards him. The smell of him cologne had taken over you again.

"I'm fancy you, that's hard yo believe?" You turned your head towards him. Without answering him, you took a step towards the horse and patted its back. You could feel him watching you, smiling. Yet you didn't look at him. "even if you don't believe, i could be a better boyfriend than him."

You laughed and turned your head towards him. "Really?" approached you. he ran him fingers over your bare shoulder. As you looked into his eyes, you resisted with all your being to stay away from his lips. 

"Yeah, inside everyone's dancing and he's not with you. I never would have left you alone." you swallowed. You took a few steps back so you wouldn't be fooled by his words. You saw Klaus grin. Smart hybrid. You moved closer to the horse so that you wouldn't be under his effect "Do you like horses?"

"Yeah, i like." You couldn't look at him. You thanked the dress for keeping your knees from shaking. You hated that.

"You know? Horses are the opposite of people, they're the loyal," you began to listen to him with interest. "My father hunted me for a thousand years and the closest he ever came way the day he killed my favorite horse he... he severed its neck with a sword as a warning." 

"Sorry." You turned to him not knowing what to do. You wanted to show that you were really sorry by putting your hand on his shoulder.. "Have you ever tried talking to him?"

"I was afraid of making things more complicated. Like you." You felt yourself short of breath. You understood her doing research on you, but it bothered you that he said it like that.. "Don't talk about them!" He understood what you meant when you spoke harshly, referring to your family.

"You don't know anything, Niklaus Mikaelson. And I advise you not to talk about things you don't know.." You turned around and started walking quickly inside. You were really starting to like talking to him. until him bring the matter to your family.You and your mother have never been on good terms. She tried to make you her own but you never wanted to give in to her compulsions..It was easier when use you when you were younger, but things changed as you got older. Your father said nothing to defend you. And it didn't help that he came up to you after all the fights and said you were right. That's why you completely isolate yourself from them. And when it turns out you're a witch... She hit you as hard as he could. He called you 'infidel' and kept saying things about you needing treatment. When Sheriff Forbes showed up at her door with bruises on your body, she was like a real mother to you. Maybe that was the biggest reason you got close with Caroline.Yet your 'family' still lived in town, and it was an undeniable fact that you sometimes came across it, even if you tried to stay as far away from them as possible. You were thankful they didn't tell anyone you were a witch because they saw it as a family embarrassment. You didn't realize he was following you until Klaus grabbed your arm.

"I'm sorry," he said, and you saw sincerity in his eyes. Although you didn't want to let go, you felt the anger slowly subside. "I won't say anything about this again. I just want you to come with me. I will show you something." You took a deep breath and turned your head.

"Okay, but just because I don't want to face any Salvatore." he smiled and extended his arm to you. You held on to him and started walking with him. When you entered, you climbed the stairs and entered an old room.

"So what did you want to show me?" You dragged the hair that fell on your face behind your ear as you looked around the room full of paintings.

"One of my passions." He dragged you in front of a big painting.There was a river flowing through the mountains and the clouds from the sky were reflected in the river.

"Oh impressive take it the artist at the Louvre aren't on vervain." he laughed and bowed his head. Her smile was beautiful.

"Well yeah." You extended your arm towards him. You showed me the bracelet full of diamonds on the glove.

"What about these where'd you steal this from?"

"Well that's a long story." You nodded and looked at the other pictures as he shrugged. You turned to him when you picked up a pencil drawing of a woman's face in fine detail.

"Wait, did you draw this?"

"Yeah, um. Actually one of my landscrapes is hanging at the Armitage not that anyone would like this. Have you been?" You lowered your head and put the picture back in, then looked at it again.

"I've never really been anywhere." You hadn't even ventured beyond the confines of this town.

"I'll take you," you exhaled loudly. "Wherever you want." You turned your head to him again. You really wanted to see how hard he'd try tonight to convince you. "Rome,” you raised your eyebrows slightly. “Paris,” you frowned slightly. “Tokyo.” You couldn't help laughing at his amused face.

"Wow" You both laughed. Indeed, spending time with him was perhaps not as bad as you thought, and you both forgot about the unpleasant conversation you just had.. "must be really nice to just snap your fingers and get whatever you want."

He pressed his lips together and turned to you with a smile. "Except one thing." he said. You raised your eyebrows as a question. He understood the message. "You." You turned your head and exhaled loudly. he grabbed your waist and pulled you close. He leaned towards your lips. "I could do the shit that he never did, up all night." You felt as if your knees weren't carrying you as him fingers ran up and down your bare shoulder.

"Thinkig I'm gonna steal you from him."

"Klaus," Your eyes drifted to his lips as your breath trembled. When you looked into his eyes again, you saw that his blue eyes were shining. "I have to go." You forcibly separated yourself from him. "I'm sure Caroline is bored. I have to go to her."

Klaus raised his eyebrows and pressed his lips together. You saw a sly smile on his face as because he almost broke your wall. "Well, ladies first. I'm insist."  you almost felt like you were going to pass out as you walked out the door. You almost kissed him. You have never felt him cologne so intensely. After you left the room, you quickly left her side and found Caroline. She was with Bonnie. You said goodbye to Bonnie and left the prom after you spent some time trying to persuade her to go.

"Are you going to tell me what happened?" Caroline asked as she walked by, taking your arm.

"Morning." You dismissed her, but you still felt Klaus' scent close to you.

Finn and Sage's Wasted Potential

Am I the only one that was peeved that Finn was killed because I did find him pretty interesting. Like, his younger siblings are all fine being evil masterminds and stuff, but not him. It doesn't mean he's better, but he does have standards. He had potential, even more so with the fact that he had a relationship with Sage of all people. The same woman who taught Damon to use people as play things and not just food. It makes you wonder.

You'd think that Damon would see Sage as some kind of teacher figure, or that Sage was his Lexi in a way. I'm not saying Damon would have loyalty to her, but be more reluctant when it comes to killing Finn because it means going against Sage.

It could also address the fact that Damon was once like Finn, in a way. I don't remember a lot because it's been years, so bear with me. If I remember correctly, it's Damon that didn't want to turn and was fine with dying, pretty much loathing his own existence, but Stefan forced him to drink blood. Damon's only reason for turning was to be with Katherine, and Katherine not only preferred Stefan, but got Damon on some kind of wild goose chase.

Fast forward to Augustine, and turning off his emotions, leading to the Damon we have today. Granted, the writers probably didn't come up with Augustine during the 3rd season, but it's a thought.

Sure, Damon has had enjoyable banter with a lot of the Mikaelsons, but Finn could've been the one that actually posed a threat to Damon. Emotionally and psychologically. Elijah is the calm and composed one, but Finn is all no nonsense and full of rage. Finn cannot be reasoned with, but does have sense. He isn't the fear mongering Klaus, the reserved Elijah, the invading and reshaping Rebekah, or the chaotic Kol, but Finn is a force of his own. No matter how obvious he seems, he's a mystery.

If they couldn't make Finn interesting on his own, then they could've given him something to work with by giving him a history with another character.

What could've made it better is that Finn isn't like the others. If anyone says something out of pocket or offensive, he doesn't act violently, nor does he threaten them. It could show just how mature he actually is. I didn't fully watch the Originals, so maybe his already existing character contradicts this.

Back to my Damon ramble, Finn could've been something new for him. Unpredictable. He doesn't operate on self-importance like his siblings (and other vampires), but self loathing. You never really know what's going to trigger him, and you don't know if he's going to be an enemy or ally. Finn could've been a catalyst to Damon questioning his own morals and stuff. He keeps giving himself to people who don't appreciate it, and it was seen right in Dangerous Liasons. Damon goes out of his way to protect and fight for people who don't see that, which sort of puts him on the Bonnie boat. What I mean is that Damon almost became like his abusers. Using people, or letting himself be used. Usually the latter. Why does Damon do this to people? Why does Damon do this for people? Why is Damon willing to die for these people? That kind of thing.

Finn doesn't let himself be used (unless it's his mother), nor does he use people. He finds no purpose in it. Damon would be going against a man that would find no enjoyment in 'teaching him a lesson'. Damon wouldn't be sure what to do against a man that barely reacts to his jabs.

Also, Finn seemed to be the only one that didn't care that Kol got his arse handed to him, just curious. The other Mikaelsons looked mildly offended at the blatant disrespect, yet Finn wasn't the least bit bothered.

It just makes me wonder what kind of person he is, and what could've been. Why he fell in love with Sage, a person that taught Damon to be disregarding of human life. I've got many questions.

Vampire Diaries: Plot + Problems

Is the Vampire Diaries fandom dead? If not, I'd like to say a few things. Before we start, I would like to say that I am a Twilight fan who loves making fun of Twilight, so my opinion is unfairly biased, but I digress. Here is my rant disguised as an analysis.

I was fairly young when the Vampire Diaries was aired, and growing up I would often confuse it for Twilight, since they were both vampire centred pieces of media that came out during the 2000s. I was a Twilight kid growing up, even if I didn't understand the plot, I liked cool scenes and stuff.

As a teen (say age 12-13) it was recommended to me a few times by my sister since I liked vampires, but I wasn't really into watching seasons long shows (especially since I was watching anime at the time, which tends to be long as hell), so I ended up doing some investigation before watching a few episodes. I didn't like the sound of the plot, it sounded like the beginning of a porno with a vampire kink added, not something I wanted to subject myself to. Girl has to decide between two brothers who are oh so hot, and the reason they can't be a threesome is literally because they are brothers. I skipped the first season, and then the second season and went straight into Klaus and his hybrids because that was the only worthwhile season for me. I skipped a bunch of scenes and episodes, but you get the idea.

Stefan is into Elena because she looks exactly like his ex-girlfriend who strung along his older brother. Elena finds this out but is still into him. These clowns. I also can't take Stefan seriously because of his eyebrows.

Damon and his dynamic with Klaus and Elijah was the only thing that kept my attention. Not just because I was thirsting over Ian Somerhalder and Joseph Morgan, but also because I loved watching their chemistry through the screen, only to be reminded that it was about Elena and her constant stringing of the Salvatore brothers. The whole show literally could've just been about Damon going against the Mikaelson family and I would watch the hell out of it. Any interaction Damon had with Mikaelsons was such a cinema moment.

I didn't find anything else going on to be as interesting, but I used to ship Jeremy with Tyler. Like, why was he so pressed about Jeremy Gilbert? Always antagonising Jeremy as soon as he saw him, that's some fruity behaviour.

A lot of people love to point out the pedophila of Twilight - as they should - but Tvd had blatant pedophilia. You're telling me that Damon, who was turned at age 25, is trying to (and has) pipe a bunch of high schoolers who are 17-18, and no one batted an eye? I can understand if his emotions were turned off, as learned from the first season, but with his emotions on? Still going after high schoolers??? Ian Somerhalder was also 30/31 when the show started airing, and Nina Dobrev, Candice KIng, and Kat Graham were all 20-21. That's quite the age gap. Not saying he's a pedo, I'm just saying it's a little icky. Let's also address the way Rebekah had a relationship with Marcel despite being his adoptive aunt.

Elena and Marcel are victims.

The worst part is that Damon doesn't act like a teenager, he's so obviously an adult, and hangs with adults (Liz Forbes, Alaric, Jenna, Carol Lockwood, Mason Lockwood?). He even refers to the others (except Alaric) as nicknames you would use when referring to children. Sometimes he comes off as parental, which would've been funny. Unfortunately the story is about a girl having a brother fetish.

I'm aware that a lot of the fans love Katherine Pierce, and I must say, she's a great villain. But she pissed me off so much, getting so angered by people who don't even pay taxes. I get that she was turned at age 17, but home girl you could do better. It was also how Elena and the others handled Katherine. Ya'll are American enough to support Confederacy, nothing should scare you. Why don't ya'll just beat her ass? That would've been entertaining to see.

You're also telling me he saw Bianca Lawson and still chose Katherine. Nothing against Nina Dobrev, but I would move on quickly if I saw Emily Bennett.

Kind of mad that they killed off Mason, and there was potential when they brought him back. You're gonna have boring ass Alaric, but not hot werewolf Mason Lockwood. Sure, let's have a bunch of vampires walking around, but 2 werewolves is asking for too much. Could've focused less on Matt Donovan and just have the show be more interesting with Damon and Mason learning to be mutual with each other if it means protecting their loved ones.

Also, the show was just... so boring. The camera quality, and the background music that sounded like something only a person who's never listened to mainstream music would listen to. I was being tortured. It was so mid.

I am going to lay out a scenario written by me, using dialogue that had potential.

Such as Damon going out of his way to get the tomb opened only to discover that Katherine isn't there, therefore becoming disillusioned with her and Elena by extension. Since a lot of viewers said Bonnie and Damon have chemistry (they do, I just don't ship them) I'm just gonna say that he should've sworn to protect her from then on, thus sealing the deal he made with Emily Bennett to protect the Bennett line and becoming her guardian. Damon still continuously butts heads with Stefan, causing Elena to think he's still romantically interested in her, when in reality Damon is just looking out for them in his own way (the typical, hardcore Damon way).

Since Bonnie goes into conflict with her friends anyways, she starts to withdraw from them. As they keep asking her to do spells for them, Damon steps in their way. It also would be cool if they kept his powers in the show, that way he can use his crow to report to her. Damon killing Jeremy to hurt Elena can actually just be misinterpreted by her self centred mindset, because he really did it to get back at him for hurting Bonnie. I might be messing up the timeline because I don't remember things very well, but that would've been great. 

Bonnie doesn't go to the Mikaelson ball because she doesn't trust the family, so Damon attends as a sort of spy. Damon turning Abby into a vampire also has to do with the fact that he's supposed to protect the Bennetts. Damon is fine with dying but isn't going to let Stefan die, nor is he going to break his deal, so it was a tough decision on his end. While he does kill Abby she also lives, kinda. It takes a while for Bonnie to come to terms with this even though she's rightfully angry.

Back to Season 4 and 5 and stuff, I think it's around this time that the Originals started airing. Damon becoming more involved with Jeremy is his parentified side of him trying to guide him but is misread as him using Jeremy to get close to Elena. 

Bonnie is waiting for college to start, and Damon suggests going to New Orleans because there are tons of witches there so she can get guidance on her powers, which is how Lucy can be reintroduced. (They had Lucy show up for like one episode just for her to never show up again.)

Marcel had a great entrance, and Klaus' went all colonist on him. Marcel got me curious about the Originals but then they pulled a Twilight on us and brought in Hope, that turned me off from the series so I don't know what goes on. I am aware that Klaus terrorised a few witches. So let's say Damon and Bonnie go to New Orleans for a little vacation + training for Bonnie before college starts, and they both find out what's going on in New Orleans. Damon meets Marcel, and while their personalities do kinda clash, they bond over their mutual distaste for Klaus, with Marcel even opening up about his past once he sees how protective and dutiful Damon is towards Bonnie.

Together they must find a way to bring an end to the Originals without killing every other vampire in existence. It could also be a thing where Damon reflects on his past as a confederate soldier and questions himself (this needs to be addressed).

Lucy trains Bonnie and Davina. The reason Damon is uncomfortable around Mikael drinking vampire blood is because of his time in Augustine. And Kol has met Damon, but doesn't remember him until one fateful bar fight. (I heard that someone had an idea where Damon and Kol met in a bar fight, but the idea was scrapped). Also an opportunity to get Kol have an infatuation with Bonnie, I remember that glance in the hallway.

I, ladies and gentlemen, have come up with a fanfiction that I will never write. I bet it's a better storyline than whatever happened in canon.

I’ve been thinking about what julie plec did to Kat Graham and the treatment of the character Bonnie Bennet over the last few days and years later it still makes me sick. I was writing about it a few days ago for reasons and seeing her speak on Kat today enraged me.

Via deadline

The racism, misogynoir and antisemitism she was subjected to on that show is unbelievable.

“She has always been very gracious”

“She’s very kind as she kindly passes”

“and put the less good parts behind her”

The statement is a joke the “less good parts”she’s referring to are violent racism, antisemitism and discrimination. To anyone who didn’t know better this simply reads as a nice and polite statement. Here she’s admitting to repeatedly contacting Kat to reprise a role that was traumatising and rejoin a toxic work environment after Kat had repeatedly declined. Reducing her mistreatment to “less good parts” and praising how graciously she’s declined going back for further harm is vile.
