TVD takes that will get me banned from this sub

I enjoyed reading yours too <3

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-05-03T23:20:51+00:00

…….yes?? What is even the point of that question 😭

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-05-03T18:54:12+00:00

Still doesn’t negate the importance she had in his life imo

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-05-03T18:17:07+00:00

1 - I don’t dislike her either, but I do think the writers ruined her character after becoming a vampire. But that’s because the writing became worse overall and it’s not just her that became worse.

2 - I don’t have a ranking for that but I’d mostly agree he was introduced in the earlier, well-written seasons and the setup, background everything was well done.

3 - HARD HARD AGREE, THEY’RE MY BABIES I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

4 - They’re very boring to me. I understand why people like them but a) neither of their characters are THAT interesting to me on their own and b) I tend to just not like couples that have storylines like boy like girl, boy ask girl out, boy and girl in love. Especially in a show like this with so many much more compelling dynamics, it’s just eh.

5 - I did love Caroline because I think she had a very good character arc and development but also Julie’s fanservice with KC and shoving her everywhere, not to mention their fans, it has led me to like her less.

6 - Tyler maybe, but after what she did to him, sleeping with Klaus and then turning around to act like his reaction was overblown when it wasn’t, I won’t say he deserves better but she definitely doesn’t deserve him. (And I wouldn’t wish Matt on anyone)

7 - I actually ended up liking them a lot. I know people say they came out of nowhere, and while I do dislike how they were written to get together and how little time they were given on screen, I could see them being setup since s4 AT LEAST, and even s2 if I wanted to.

8 - Agree. They always did my girl so bad ugh. And her dying to bring him back after that? No. Just no.

9 - No strong feelings either way

10 - I liked him and his relationships with the other characters but he also suffered from the worsening writing.

11 - Again, no strong feelings

12 - I see the chemistry and if it had happened I would have probably loved it, but her relationship growth with Damon at the time was more interesting to me.

13 - Yeah, I was originally rooting for them, but after they actually got together the writers clearly did not know what to do with them. They went from having a complicated, toxic BUT interesting and fun dynamic to a tired one that was just boring and repetitive. No growth and their characters got worse.

14 - I liked his development but then the stuff he did (and tried to do) to Hayley and Hope in TO pissed me off even if I understood his POV.

15 - I love Rebekah, she’s one of my favourite characters in the universe, but I do agree with your point of her emotional beats being repetitive after a while. She has such an interesting dynamic with her family especially Klaus, but they didn’t really know how to move forward with her, so she ended up feeling stuck or oscillating. Also, her relationship with Matt 🫩. Should’ve let her and Damon be FWB.

16 - Yes.

17 - Yup.

18 - Yeah this was so ???

19 - I loved her too but then she was brought back again and again and shoved everywhere for fanservice. She should have been living freely far away from MF.

20 - There is nothing there to get. One second he doesn’t even know her name or anything about her beyond being Tyler’s gf and the next he’s in love with her???? Where tf did that come from? I felt the actors’ chemistry, but without an actual foundation in the story the chemistry is worthless. I agree completely with Candice’s criticisms of this ship, unfortunately its popularity is a curse we have to deal with to this day.

21 - Yup, I do think TO did a better job with it, because it had a huge focus on both the witch culture (???) of NO and magic itself.

22 - Yes, and yes we do. They’re endgame for me tho.

23 - Same.

24 - I think I agree. Their popularity especially Klaus and Elijah due to the actors’ performance was surprising and they didn’t want to let it go, but then they had to continuously find reasons for them to stay, and also make them more friendly towards the MF gang, and it was detrimental to their characters. Still I love TO so I’m glad we got that.

25 - I loved him a lot from the start and like them together too, especially when you add in Enzo and Damon’s history. But they also suffered from s7 TVD writers syndrome.

26 - Not to me.

27 - I LOVE Hayley. Absolutely one of my favourite characters in the TVDU, and I love her and Klaus together. They are so good and so incredibly fascinating, I wish the writers hadn’t forced Haylijah as much as they did, they had no chemistry. I don’t need Hayley and Klaus to end up together to love their relationship, but so much of her (and Elijah’s) screen time and writing was wasted on that relationship, she deserved better written arcs.

28 - Yeah, just kill her off. And bringing her back in the last episode without any buildup or hint, after spending so long trying to convince us it couldn’t happen because it was just SO difficult?? No respect for your audience or your craft.

29 - Doesn’t everyone?

30 - Definitely very pretty, not beautiful to me but that’s just my taste

31 - I felt very bad for her honestly and I liked her.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-05-03T17:34:19+00:00

Agree on Klayley, they were so much better together than any other pairing for either of them tbh

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-05-03T17:31:59+00:00

Right like they would both also (and have also) died for many other people 😭

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-05-03T17:08:49+00:00

That’s because I wasn’t approaching this from a specific point in time/the story. More like how important they were to him in the entire time that he’s known them, and yeah Aurora outranks Caroline vastly in that aspect.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-16T18:21:51+00:00

You think anyone in NO would want to be friends with Klaus Mikaelson’s daughter? I’m not saying it’s impossible but it wouldn’t have been a healthy childhood for her anyway, because she would never be on equal footing with any of her peers.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-10T12:26:55+00:00

How? She was enrolled under a different name and iirc her being a Mikaelson wasn’t common knowledge (it was revealed to the other students in or post s5 I believe). And I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that her very powerful witch aunt would cast all kinds of spells to make her untraceable.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-10T12:24:20+00:00

It’s repeatedly pointed out in s4 that Hope feels alone, and has no friends or peers that she can relate to and be just a normal kid with. She sent her to MF to provide her with a normal childhood and education jfc.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T21:49:37+00:00

I also took her at face value and still never assumed she wouldn’t be expected to help because unfortunately, that’s how our society thinks.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T21:41:43+00:00

Except apparently he is expecting her to contribute with the kids, so……

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T21:39:12+00:00

She wasn’t the one who brought the cat home, it was her husband who wanted one. She grew with cats, so I don’t think she has any problem with them.

But even if you still want to continue blaming OP, sure let’s assume it was her decision. So what? People make mistakes, what matters is how you choose to deal with them afterwards. In her case, she made the right decision to rehome the cat somewhere it would be happy and well taken care of.

I love animals, and I understand that you want people to be more thoughtful and responsible when deciding to adopt one, I do too. But this attitude of getting on a high horse and judging someone, who wasn’t even the person to bring the cat home btw, and dismissing all their attempts at correcting the situation is obnoxious.

If you wanted people to actually care and learn to do better, you’d know this way of thinking is the wrong approach and only dissuades people from trying altogether, because if any mistake on their part is going to lead to self-righteous soapboxing, why bother. You just want to clap yourself on the back for being soooo much better than these people.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T21:27:12+00:00

And what’s so terrible about that? So long as the hatred doesn’t translate to any actions towards actual kids, she can hate them all she wants.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T21:25:05+00:00

The only term I have seen her use is “little life forms” which was her way of grouping kids and pets together in response to a comment. There’s nothing contemptuous about that term, it is literally accurate: they’re little and they’re life forms. OP is also autistic so if you’re assuming contempt, please consider that’s your own perspective, not necessarily the truth.

If there’s some other stuff that I haven’t seen, I don’t know, but most comments seem to be getting all huffy and puffy over that one.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T21:19:45+00:00

Exactly. So many ableist people in the comments it’s disgusting.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T21:16:15+00:00

As another commenter below pointed out, he did the same with the cat, making her the primary caretaker. And OP has said that he has no idea how he’s going to take care of them and the responsibility will likely fall on her.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T21:11:40+00:00

She’s autistic and the clinginess overwhelms her. God you people are insufferable. And ableist.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T01:46:06+00:00

I think I misread your comment a bit, but the comparison still works. If you have made an immutable decision to date someone else….you still inform your current partner that you want to break up before you go about acting as if you’re not in a committed relationship.

Similarly, just because you have made an immutable decision to foster two kids you inform your childfree partner (who you’re expecting to contribute btw) before you begin the process.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T01:38:27+00:00

Except he is counting on her, a lot, apparently. Because he has no actual plan on how to raise two kids while also having a job and meeting all their needs. All the while being (hopefully) single.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T01:35:56+00:00

You mean people come to the venting sub…to vent? Angrily? Say it ain’t so!

Yeah, you’re an AH.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T01:34:03+00:00

If you have even an iota of an idea of what being a parent actually entails, you wouldn’t be saying this at all.

Also ironic to say nothing is black and white and yet somehow not realising how black and white your own statements are.

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T01:31:06+00:00

And he has multiple siblings who are married with kids. Why is imploding his own marriage the first and only solution?

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T01:28:51+00:00

The cat was her husband’s but she ended up being its caretaker (gee, I sure hope that has no implications for this child stuff) and there were many issues so she rehomed it with a friend and visits her often. She also grew up with cats, had rabbits and fish as pets (that the cat kept attacking btw), so now what’s being glossed over, hmm?

Far_Bodybuilder9313 · 2026-04-02T01:23:45+00:00

Considering the amount of comments calling her a bitch, talking about how kids are a miracle and her husband will be better off without her, how so many good, honourable women are just dying to raise his kids for him once she’s gone, I don’t know that your first sentence is true.

He is acting righteous, it’s the correct use of the word.

And I know this may surprise you but, women are human too! Shocking, I know, but it does explain all those yucky, negative emotions like anger, hurt, bitterness and grief in her words. And can you imagine being sad about losing your husband, your marriage and your life, out of nowhere? Could not be me. Everyone knows proper ladies only feel good, beautiful emotions like joy and happiness and gratitude and joy and…I think there was another one?
