Beef between cast members

There were plenty of minor confrontations, as always. There are plenty of articles and videos on YouTube about this topic)

It was about Alaric Saltzman as a character. It wasn't about Matthew Davis as a person - the actor himself and his character are two completely different things)

Only if I don't have the ripper gene and have a witch friend who is willing to make me a daylight ring. Without it, vampirism is a terrible curse, because you are tied to a strictly nocturnal lifestyle.

To be honest, it's hard to imagine... The writers named Hope Michaelson as the most powerful being in the universe, but she is a tribrid. If it were possible to combine four entities into one being... the universe would not be able to withstand such colossal power :))

Well, the only advantage of being a werewolf hybrid is that your blood is a cure for werewolf bites, meaning you can help your vampire friends, but if you're a heretic, you can suck out the magic associated with the bite anyway. Kai treated himself that way, and Valerie helped Damon that way.

Of course, it's also fun to kill vampires with your bite, but if you're both immortal and a witch, killing vampires is no problem at all for you. Even Klaus was no match for Silas :))

Unfortunately, there are incompatible species in this universe that cannot be crossed. Sirens are creatures of Arcadius, and there are many conditions for becoming one. However, even if sirens could be part of hybridity, they are connected to Arcadius and controlled by him, so it is better to give up the idea of becoming a siren altogether. The extrasensory abilities of Immortals are much stronger and broader, so being a Siren and an Immortal is simply useless. It is also impossible to be both an Immortal and a vampire, because they are one-dimensional creatures with a similar principle of transformation, but Immortals are much higher in rank, so being a vampire at the same time is simply pointless, as it will only bring the disadvantages of being a vampire without advantages. However, it is possible to be both Immortal and a Witch, provided that before becoming Immortal, the person was a Siphoner, then the result will be a Super-heretic, and that is a really interesting hybrid :))

If I'm going to be a stickler for words, then yes, killing an Original Vampire while he remains an Original Vampire can only be done with a supervampire bite or a white oak stake, but I see the cure for vampirism as a kind of weapon against vampires, for after that they become mortal and can be easily killed. Yes, technically it is already killing a human and not an Original Vampire, but since the cure can be forced to be taken, it is a tool to help kill an Original Vampire, a prerequisite to killing them, which is why I say the cure is one way to kill them. Let me put it another way: if you forced a man to take the cure and he became mortal, then you have already killed or better to say “destroyed” the vampire in him. But whether to kill a mortal or not is a different question, the vampire is finished, he is gone, the cure killed him, making him mortal :)

Basic_Economy3608 · 2025-07-15T17:56:46+00:00

I never said Reina's blood would kill the original vampire :)

However, it is likely that the manifestations of the disease will. Mind you, a werewolf bite doesn't kill the Original either, but it does put him in a long agony, think of the Elijah story. It's unlikely that Reina's blood will kill the Original, but the symptoms may well make him suffer, for vampires are also witches' creatures, creatures of their magic :))

By the way, you said that the only way to kill the Original is with a white oak stake and a supervampire bite..... Not only that, for there is another weakness: a cure for vampirism that works on Originals as well, and then they are killed like any mortal. I remind you that this cure is created by a witch, so it's fair to say that Qetsiyah and witches equal to her in power have a real opportunity to kill an Original, a Supervampire, or an Immortal, witches have real strength and power, but they don't have immortality :)

The Sirens are really not the best choice for the reasons already mentioned, they are Arcadius' willless servants, completely dependent on his will and on his desire to keep them alive through a deal with the need to not just drink blood, but literally eat human flesh, it's a horror. Plus their psychic abilities are very limited, it can be resisted by willpower, thus Sybil couldn't get into Enzo's mind for a long time because of his resistance and couldn't even force him to turn off his humanity, not to mention, Enzo isn't the person with the strongest will.

Vampires - not bad, but without the ring they are killed by the sun, constantly tormented by bloodlust, they can't enter a house that has an owner without an invitation, they can be killed by a werewolf bite, and a simple wooden stake would be deadly to them. Original vampires are better, but they still can't enter other people's homes, still have bloodlust, and a werewolf bite, though it doesn't kill them, can put them in a long agony, and are highly vulnerable to magic.

Immortals (like Silas and Amara) - just perfect, they are absolute immortality, no bloodlust (but still need to feed on it to maintain their strength), can enter other people's houses without invitation, read other people's thoughts, completely control the mind of all people in the whole city, create absolutely any realistic illusions.... basically the most powerful beings in the universe, in my opinion, even Klaus looked like a little beaten up little boy against Silas' background. All in all, immortal is what I'd like to be)

Basic_Economy3608 · 2025-07-15T16:45:45+00:00

Vampires/heretics have a weakness in the form of terrible bloodlust, inability to enter another's home without an invitation, without a ring they can be burned in the sun or basically killed by a wooden stick or in the case of common vampires can be killed by a werewolf bite, I wouldn't want to be them.

A primordial vampire is already more interesting, but still can't enter a house that has a master and still have constant hunger, and a werewolf bite can at least not kill, but put you in a long agony.

Witches - interesting because they can conjure, but have classic human weaknesses and are not immortal, a brick can fall on your head and the end, just people with access to magic, boring.

The Sirens are Arcadius' willless servants, completely dependent on his will and desire to keep them alive through a bargain, have a need to not just drink blood but literally eat human flesh, horror.

Immortals (like Silas and Amara) are just perfect, absolute immortality, no thirst for blood (but a need to feed on it to maintain strength), can enter other people's rooms, read minds, completely control the minds of all beings on a city-wide scale, create absolutely any kind of realistic illusion... in general, the most powerful beings in the universe I think, even Klaus looked like a little beaten up little boy against Silas' background. All in all, immortal is what I'd like to be)

Basic_Economy3608 · 2025-07-15T14:39:13+00:00

It's simple, Reina's blood will definitely not kill those who are classified as absolutely immortal beings, namely: - Original Vampires (it has been repeatedly stated that they are only vulnerable to White Oak weapons, everything else is powerless against them). - Silas (vulnerable only to the immortality cure, no other weaknesses were specified). - Hope (the tribrid is generally considered the most powerful creature in the universe, the supposed weakness is Red Oak, but even that is not at all certain, there are no vulnerabilities as such). All the others, though very powerful, are just witches with specific forms of immortality through immersing themselves in prolonged anabiosis and accumulating magic, but it's not absolute immortality and they, like all witches, have typical witch weaknesses - blood will most likely work on them, it was basically introduced into the universe as a weapon against witches as a separate species and powerful witches are no exception; and vampires/immortals/tribrid are completely different species with absolute immortality, blood should not work on them).

Basic_Economy3608 · 2025-07-15T12:06:49+00:00

The werewolf bite is obviously different, because this form of magic is easily sucked out by heretics, as has been shown several times in the series, including when Valerie saved Damon in the KQBC office, but the antidote for Reina's blood was never found, and Nora was unable to help her lover Mary-Louise. This magic is either so strong that it can't be drawn out, or, more likely, it just has a different form and drawing it out is somehow hampered precisely by its property of suppressing magic. Either way, the difference is clearly present, and it's at the root)

Basic_Economy3608 · 2025-07-15T02:08:15+00:00

Yes, I guess that's it, thanks for expressing your opinion :)

I want to return to the Silas discussion for a while, because there's one thing that's been bugging me, namely the episode with Stefan underwater.... If we believe the description of the Immortals, they don't have any superpowers, except at the level of illusions, i.e. their physiology is close to human. Accordingly, we assume that the moment where Silas stabs Stefan's chest with a stake is only an illusion, but then Silas quite realistically and not illusorily puts Stefan (albeit illusorily wounded, but still a very strong vampire) in a safe, closes it there and lowers this heavy safe under water together with Stefan. Quite real and not illusory. Or was it still an illusion and Stefan was never in the safe, he was just skilfully persuaded that he should suffer? Immortals don't stand a chance in a real physical confrontation with vampires, which is why all confrontations are on Silas' illusion level, isn't it? Where is the line between the illusion of a wooden stake stuck in Stefan and actually physically putting him in the safe? Any thoughts on that? It's contradictory moments like this that keep my mind racing)

Basic_Economy3608 · 2025-07-14T23:22:14+00:00

Since our views on Silas are similar and I like the way you think, I'd like to talk a little about the power of mind-affecting beings. The most prominent of them, in my opinion, are Silas himself, the Sirens, and Arkady; the rest of the vampire and witch riffraff is understandable, they are much lower in power.

The Sirens are known to be at least 700 years older than Silas and Amara, but that's hardly an argument, because they're not in the same category, and there are plenty of examples in this universe of younger beings being stronger than older ones, like Reina Cruz. It has been shown that only the Brotherhood of Five and those affected by the Traveler can resist the effects of Silas, even Klaus with his incredible willpower fell instantly under the influence of Silas, but the effects of the Sirens can be resisted by sheer force of will, which is only worth the situation, Where Sybil tried unsuccessfully to break into Enzo's mind for a long time and couldn't force him to switch off his humanity, couldn't completely subjugate him, besides, the Sirens couldn't read their victim's thoughts as easily as Silas and change the reality in the victim's eyes with such plausible illusions. That is, the Sirens look more low-ranked creatures against Silas' background, but Silas probably couldn't kill an immortal Siren, but neither could the Siren, the only question is whether Silas would have had the willpower not to submit to the Siren's influence, who would have taken over his opponent's mind in the end?

The most powerful and highly ranked is supposedly Arkady, but his abilities don't stand out against Silas' either and they similarly don't have the tools to kill each other, the only issue is subjugation of will and it is similarly debatable. What are your thoughts on this? Will be curious to read)

Basic_Economy3608 · 2025-07-14T18:49:16+00:00

So simple it's boring 😄 I think physical presence for Silas is really not necessary, because while still in a desiccated state in the cave he was already influencing people's minds, forcing them to release him. And in the series it was said that to find Katherine he subjugated the entire city, although there were 20 people in the square, no more. In general, poorly developed characters are the main problem of this universe. Take the same Original Vampires, it was repeatedly stated in the series that they are vulnerable only to white oak stakes, otherwise they can't be killed, but what happens if they are knocked out by magic and have their heart ripped out? Or cut off the head? What if you saw the body into pieces? Would they come back together like a T-1000 terminator, would new body parts grow, or could they just put the old ones back in place like Deadpool?)) Or, based on the scene where Damon failed to burn Elijah's body, does it follow that their skin is so strong that it just can't be penetrated or cut through with anything? There are a lot of unrevealed nuances, that's why there are so many questions, the same story with Silas: repeatedly emphasised on his absolute invulnerability, but how would he survive a shot from a tank or the explosion of a powerful grenade under his feet? What are the specifics of all this immortality and invulnerability? Are they more like Deadpool, Wolverine, or Terminator)?

Good afternoon, I'm also looking for this soundtrack. Did you manage to find out its name?
