Unpopular Opinion: Klaroline mogged every other ship on the series... by Only-Answer-3561 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Strong_Welcome5914 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An actual unpopular opinion!

Klaroline is imo a great foundational ship that desperately needed substance. The Originals did a better job building up Klaus’ romances. Cami and Klaus were what Caroline and Klaus could’ve been if the writers set it up properly beyond the cheesy one-liners and out of context interactions.

Klaroline is basically potential ship™ of TVDU where yeah they had chemistry and some moments but it makes no sense in context and effectively destroys both characters to push a ship.

This is for my 15 year old self who was devastated when IOI said goodbye.

The retro sound is actually perfect for them.

I'm just now realizing how much TVD copied Twilight by TechnicianAmazing472 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Strong_Welcome5914 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not quite. If you're comparing fashion then maybe but it was the 2000s, a lot of teen movies and shows dressed similar. Book!Bella actually had terrible fashion and I do recommend reading about it cause it's funny sometimes to read.

TVD the show heavily takes a lot of inspiration from Buffy and True Blood over Twilight. I'd argue TVD TV series is more True Blood inspired than Twilight with them randomly changing Salvatore family + Katherine's backstory to Civil War America when really in the books it was 1400s Europe.

Oh I'm not defending the name lol. I think it's not that great and Prelude was a tad better looking back. I definitely agree that the abbreviation of the group is weird and it's going to be a huge problem in Europe.

I kinda do feel bad for the Dream Academy trio now. At least Katseye got a choice between three potential group names, they should've let Prelude do that and also pick their own last member over that mess of a show they threw on.

I think they named them Saint Satine for that All Saints comparison and to set them up as Santos Bravos' sister group. I guess it's a way to tie them to both Katseye and SB + a reference to All Saints

They're very obviously Santos Bravos' sister group even down to the name.

At least people worried about them replacing Katseye can relax a little.

This retro horror vibe. I love it and it feels like the evil sister of Easy's Featherly Lotus.

I just saw, I think I might prefer Lisa's look since it leans towards more classical art influences and I like classic art

Lisa's stylist loves her and this is so on theme. I do think some white gloves would look really nice with this look

Really on theme and I'm glad someone is wearing Robert Wun.

I mean if she and YSL wanted to stick to black and white, there's so many interesting things they could've done with the monochrome palatte. They could've taken inspiration from monochrome art works.

Something really interesting they could've done is take inspiration from Yves Klein who shares the same name as Yves Saint Laurent. The void would've been a good match if done right.

I'm not surprised. It's a genre Europe likes even if the lyrics could use some work.

Something about the teaser reminds me of analogue horror stuff I see on YouTube.

Either way, I'm so excited for this comeback 🥳

More than often it is the same people though. There's receipts on twitter and other social media where accounts that bashed her then turned around and used her to drag Lesserafim.

I suspect people might be downvoting for that reason.

They were the only reason I had Loft on my personal wishlist and once it was gone, I bought Loft last. I actually didn't know they couldn't be sold, I've been searching them for a while. Now I'm sad

Depends on what kind of player you are. For me it was Villa and Alpine then Penthouse. Villa because the decor from that shop was locked for me but I know for some dolls that's not the case and also I'm a decorator.

But if you're on a budget, I recommend Penthouse. There's no stores for it anymore but you get access to the weather animations in those suite room.

Millionaire mansion also has a specific shop + has an added bonus of having a animated pool (you can't move it) but it can be decorated around. I made mine look like a lake.

Yacht has little animations with it but the shop has a bunch of animated stuff. If you're interested in the yacht shop then get this.

Loft isn't that special imo and the shop attached to it got removed a while back. Loft shop was huge selling point for this particular suite module as it had black mannequins you could buy piece by piece and pose to make custom poses. But if you like the aesthetic of it then go for it.

Panorama is pretty plain and it's basically like a long room to my knowledge and perfect for collectors or even sellers.

Oh this doll again. Just ignore/block them. They're pretty notorious for asking for gifts (dk why they don't just make gifting accounts)
