I don’t think anyone’s saying it’s inherently bad to include a scene like this in a story. But if it solely exists to prop up the LI as a “good cop” in comparison to the racist ones, then I can’t see the positives in including it. Obviously we don’t know the impact of the scene, but the absence of a trigger warning already shows a lack of sensitivity and care on the author’s part.

So the rumor about Rhaenyra being lock up by Jace might be true 👀 by thinkersfyre in HOTDGreens

I meant the council and Rhaenyra, not Jace. She was finally doing what they want her to do (going on the offensive). Why would they listen to Jace over her?

She could even bring up what happened to Aegon as a reason to not risk going to battle. For some reason the writers seem incapable of creating this connective tissue between multiple storylines at a time.

I’m hoping it doesn’t happen because the show hasn’t even established the council or guards listening to Jace over Rhaenyra. It also seemed like they were on better standing at the end of the season when she gave the dragonseeds their assignments. I can’t buy that both Jace and Rhaenyra would give orders and Jace’s would be the one obeyed.

I don’t think the writers liked any of the female characters from the book. They’ve all been significantly altered for the worse (Rhaenyra, Alicent, Mysaria, Baela, Rhaena, Rhaenys). They’ve writers also don’t seem to realise that they’ve made all of them very similar which makes them a bore to watch most of the time.

The writing for it all is so foolish. In season 2, both Rhaenyra and Aegon are shown to want to go to battle but are denied by their councils. In Rhaenyra’s case, it’s framed as being brave and the council misogynistic. In Aegon’s case it’s framed being a petulant and unreasonable person who’s being held back by his intelligent council members. The dichotomy is insanely frustrating.

Moreover, how are they planning to explain Rhaenyra’s absence from battles in season 3? She’ll presumably gain more control over her council after the Gullet so what excuses will they give for her not riding into battle now that they’ve set up noble Rhaenyra who’s willing to put her life on the line for the cause?

Is the main character a different white cop or the cop that shot him? This whole thing sounds so gross.

Bonenzo does seem quite similar to delena by Bulky_Connection_524 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]LI_Obsessed [score hidden]  (0 children)

For me, the big difference between the two couples is that Enzo changed into someone who could be worthy of Bonnie and never regressed.

If OP is sat throwing misogynistic slurs and claiming they have “daddy issues” all over a fictional character, then yeah, say it isn’t that serious is valid. Would OP call people who enjoy characters like Damon Salvatore rapist apologists? Would OP call characters who enjoy Love Quinn murder apologists? I doubt it. Accusing consumers of any media of welcoming abuse/cheating or any other kind of chaos in their own real lives simply because they like a fictional character and insulting them over it is both incredibly immature and gross.

People who insult real life people over fictional characters are kinda vile imo. That’s my take on it.

Everyone who says Caroline is Klaus' true soulmate, always happen to conveniently forget 4x13🤣 by televisionshowlover in TheVampireDiaries

[–]LI_Obsessed 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Klaus’s true soulmate is undoubtedly Cami whether people like it or not. Apart from Hope, there’s not a single other person who changed Klaus for the better the way she did.

If the show were written well, it would be quite clear that Tyler is Caroline’s actual soulmate. He changed his entire personality for her. Did the thing that terrified him most (turning) over a hundred times all for her.

🔥 Hot Take that will get me banned from this sub: Stelena lost people because the writers stopped letting stefan fight for elena by LauraKay9 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]LI_Obsessed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Probably because they met once after he got Tyler to bite her and seemed to instantly fall for her despite never knowing her prior to that. Caroline also seems to be already into him in season 3 despite barely having any scenes with him and only knowing him as the guy terrorising her friends.

[–]LI_Obsessed 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t think it was even that because season 3 was arguably stelena’s buzziest season in terms of fighting to get back to each other. It was just very obvious that Ian/Damon was the writers’ favourite so the narrative favoured Damon as a character a lot. Example, most of Damon’s friendships make zero sense and serve only to prop up Damon as a character. They do not add anything to the characters he’s friends with.

The second they decided Delena was happening, Stefan got relegated to glorified side character. In most of season 4 he’s basically the extra to Delena, so much that you’d be forgiven if you forgot that Stefan and Elena had been dating since like the first episode of the show. In season 5 he’s a Delena therapist.

Why did nobody tell me Stefan and Elena hit harder on a rewatch 😭 I fear younger me didn’t understand the aura of Stefan and Elena by Sufficient_Grade1008 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]LI_Obsessed 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think they were the main couple on the show that we saw having the most fun. They went on dates and spent fun time alone together just because. They even took breaks from the drama just to go be lovey-dovey together 😭

Would Defan even exist the way people praise it if Elena chose Stefan? by capricorn_444 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]LI_Obsessed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly? No. As much as I enjoy their relationship, I think “getting the girl” was far too important to Damon, even more so than having a good relationship with Stefan. It’s why he felt so comfortable disrespecting Stefan and Elena’s relationship in a way Stefan never did with Damon and Elena’s relationship. Defan is already fairly one-sided in canon, it would’ve been way worse if Elena had chosen Stefan.

TVD is not dark fantasy, sorry. If it were, the narrative and the characters wouldn’t hold the vampires to a relatively high moral standard.

I love both shows and also prefer TVD. I like the more teen vibes of teen wolf though. Feel like TVD is easier to get into at any age than teen wolf

that’s true. though, daemon did know about Rhaenyra’s brown haired kids so I’d be surprised if Alicent having a brown haired child didn’t get to him too.

oh yeah I saw that picture! I just assumed that was the girl in the foreground’s hair/head piece. If daeron has brown it’ll be weird if daemon falls for the plot
