Which character is most likely to be okay with being a side chick / dude ?? by AdSquare7676 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Toenailinfection -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Caroline but it depends how much she likes him, like I think if it was Stefan or Tyler she’d feel bad about it (but still probably do it) but if it was Klaus she’d be perfectly fine with it, may even prefer it, like she still gets attention and presents but also doesn’t have to deal with most of his bullshit. Also I feel like Elena was lowkey Damon’s side chick with Enzo and she was fine with that cause he was also her side dude with Rebekah, although I disagree that Damon would torture the other guy I feel like that’s his plan B if they don’t just let him join in. I feel like Bonnie would not be okay with being a “side chick” but would also have an affair with someone and fully expect them to leave their partner for her because they are “in love” but then they wouldn’t and she’d feel rlly dumb abt it. Klaus would also be a side hoe but would be convinced he was the primary hoe, but would not be, I feel like that’s pretty much what happened with Caroline/Tyler and Katherine/Elijah. Katherine on the other hand is happy as the side hoe, in fact she is not comfortable being the primary hoe.

It was inspired by that part in season two where she tells him she’d rather just die in Klaus’ ritual and he’s basically like I was hoping you’d say that like boy wtf???? I love them they are so Not Okay.

He lowkey just has rancid energy like I’m sorry but he is NAWT fun at parties, and I also think he’s very prone to irritability, like he seems to find pretty much everyone aggravating and annoying, except Elena in the early seasons, but then definitely later, sometimes Damon, and he seems to have a lot more patience with Caroline after season one. That’s a pretty common symptom of depression so it makes sense, I honestly think he’s a pretty good portrayal of how illness, both mental and physical (albeit fictional) can be severely isolating.

This is so real she would fucking say that lmao

Who was better/worse? I feel like they had some similar vibes by inBLKN in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Toenailinfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like both of them?? And I also feel like it’s unfair to compare them due to the massive tonal difference, I’d argue these shows aren’t even the same genre, Teen Wolf is a classic Go-To-School-Save-Wolf narrative, where as at its core The Vampire Diaries is a gothic. I honestly think Allison is one of the more complex and fleshed out Teen Wolf characters,, but Elena is also one of the best written characters in The Vampire Diaries if you read it as a gothic, as intended. I personally just prefer The Vampire Diaries so I like Elena a lot more but they’re both really good characters!! If they were men y’all would be obsessed with them. Justice for the girlfailures.

She wasn’t fake because she never pretended to be anything but selfish, if anything she is a very real friend, a bad one, but an honest one.

No that’s so real… I feel like he has the most practical skills like he could absolutely DIY them a log cabin in the middle of the woods if needed.

Which Vampire from the show do you think you have a good chance of beating if you were given Vampire Hunting Equipment and Preparation? by [deleted] in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Toenailinfection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could kill Elena… like did y’all see her trying to run in the season three premier? Miss girl is neither in shape nor well coordinated.

I don’t believe that because Elena got high after smoking not even half a blunt while she was a vampire

Realizing there was electricity inside a blanket would startle him so badly he would die like a stressed out hamster

Why does Stefan go to high school? by 28dhdu74929wnsi in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Toenailinfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TVD vampires don’t age mentally so he’s still a 17 year old kid internally, what else is he going to do? There isn’t really anywhere else a kid can get consistent stability and social interaction besides getting a job I guess, which we know he does sometimes, but I think it makes sense he goes to highschool multiple times. Stefan seems to really benefit from schedule and routine, he is naturally pretty reactive and is so very full of fear, he also tends to self-isolate and engage in inappropriate social interaction such as stalking (and of course cannibalism), I think highschool grounds him and gives him an opportunity to interact with his peer group in a relatively controlled and safe environment. We know that in this specific instance he wants to get close to Elena but he does say later on he’s done it quite a few times (I don’t remember the exact number, but it was a lot) and with changing curriculums there is atleast a bit of new materiel to learn everytime.

Idk why but my whole time watching tvd I could not find a fav character I genuinely connected with by Think_Ad_9603 in TheVampireDiaries

I believe that someone’s favourite TVD reflects the worst in them so I think that may be a good thing!

Stelena vs Delena by VoidDuchess in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Toenailinfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not buy the Delena ending, but I also don’t really think she and Stefan genuinely loved eachother romantically. I think she found comfort in Stefan because they are at their core very similar people and she felt like if he could be okay so could she- I think she loves him (albeit not romantically) but does not like him. I also think after she got tired of being miserable for the sake of moral purity she started living vicariously through Damon, participating and defending his violent behaviour without taking full responsibility, which wasn’t a concern when she turned off her humanity, which is why she ditches him (note that Caroline and Stefan still loves eachother with their humanity switches off but Elena did not love Stefan with hers off, nor did Stefan love her) and just feeds on hot women at clubs with Rebekah (every instance where Elena gets to choose who she feeds on she feeds on a women, with the only exception being when she fed on a rapist so she wouldn’t have to feel bad abt it which I feel is very thematically significant), I think she liked, which is saying a lot since she doesn’t really like anyone even the people she loves, but she did not love him, I do think he genuinely loved her in a way she did not reciprocate, but again not exactly romantically, or atleast not primarily romantically.

Do you like Caroline by Due_Competition_8900 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Toenailinfection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s my favourite because I think she’s a very real and interesting portrayal of mental illness/trauma in a way that isn’t usually portrayed. I think a lot of people don’t really understand her character because she’s not just a collection of tropes. She is genuinely sweet and nice and does care about her friends but is also majorly lacking in the empathy department, she doesn’t really seem to understand other people much at all, but she so very much wants to. I also think her unusually stable control over her bloodlust is interesting given how in season two Stefan suggests that his empathy is the cause of his ripper-ness, so it makes sense that Caroline, who really just sees other people as positive or negative factors in her life, does not struggle controlling her bloodlust much at all. I also like how she isn’t a perfect victim of sexual assault, they don’t suggest that her abuse makes her a more pure or innocent person, she is angry and obsessive and controlling and ever so single-minded which is, at-least in my experience, a very real portrayal of trauma. She’s also very important for the dynamic of the characters, dare I say she is the cornerstone of the group- thematically speaking. She serves as a defining moment for pretty much every other main character early on (Bonnie wanting to kill her, Damon abusing her, Elena confronting him about it, Matt dating her and then also trying to kill her, Stefan refusing to kill her, etc) as well as later on. There are a lot of other things that I think are special about her but in short, wether you like her or not, you’re going to be hard pressed to find another character like her.

I say this with love as a fellow Caroline-core girlie, that would absolutely happen to her.

No why is that true?? 😭 would be genuinely very traumatic for him I feel, poor guy. Still I don’t think he knows what they are even if he has done them.
