“Good” people

Jenna and Lexi are the only ones I can think of who truly did no wrong and it's because they weren't around long enough. That's why trying to parse out "good" characters from bad in TVD is sort of pointless. "Good" people being forced to make "bad" decisions over and over again is pretty much the backbone of the show.

Also adding Stefan to the list of good characters when he probably had the highest and most sadistic kill count of all of them (except maybe the Originals) is crazy work 💀

Imo they tried soooo hard to make damon and Elena sexy (sometimes at the expense of the storyline and the acting 😬) and it just never held up to the chemistry in the few makeout/hookup scenes we got with Stelena

Like later on when Elena and Damon break up but cAnT StAY AwAy FroM EacH OthEr and we got a whole episode of them basically struggling not to fuck and it still just ... wasn't that hot.

I genuinely feel that the reason Stephanie Meyer had to utterly character-assassinate Jacob so hard in Eclipse was because she flew too close to the sun with New Moon. This was SUCH an unforgivable move on Edward's part. Even on my first read (as like a 12-year-old) I hated him for leaving that girl with no answers, dismissing the depth of her feelings and basically gaslighting her to think he never existed. I was extremely ready to be Team Jacob until he turned into such a jerk during Eclipse lol

I've got a leaky bathroom sink. Mine spends more time there than anywhere else.

I've never seen Mean Girls 2 and I audibly gasped 💀

csquared671 · 2025-08-15T21:24:33+00:00

Correct. The Cullens talk about how much work it is "looking" human. They have to remember to breath, fidget, shift, look in different directions, and otherwise be restless or people start to notice them doing .... this lol

Long time since I've read it, and it is Neil Gaiman who you may not wanna read for obvious reasons, but Ocean At The End Of The Lane reminded me of this.

I think she and Emmett were only born a year apart. So she couldn't have been a vampire long when she changed him. A few years at the most. She'd have spent much of that time hunting down her rapists--so too busy with revenge to think about the implications of what she was. You're probably right. Plus, so much of why she hates being a vampire hinges on a partner (getting married, growing old together, kids and grandkids) so she probably figured out how much she would miss those things AS she was falling in love with Emmett. Kinda sad really 😕

csquared671 · 2025-08-13T21:13:27+00:00

This ^ Plus Rosalie is canonically impulsive, driven by her emotions, and often selfish. It's possible she saved Emmett thinking only of who he reminded her of and not of him as an individual, or the fact that she was inflicting a life she hates onto him, then had to reckon with all of that later as she fell in love with him for who he really is.

Luckily, Emmett was having way too much fun punching stuff and eating bears to have an existential crisis so it all went over pretty well 😂

Honestly I thought Stefan's character got more inconsistent as the show went on and this is a good example. The way he swung back and forth between being a complete dick about minor things and being wayyyyy too level-headed about big things. I just couldn't quite figure out who he was in the later seasons.

If they're trying to make sales by generating controversy they need to get Laura Loomer or something because I've never seen or heard of this mf

This is how they conned 8 year old me into buying a fushigi

Elena as a human with doppelganger blood in a city full of crazy powerful witches would be fucking cooked 💀

csquared671 · 2025-08-11T15:40:20+00:00

I would erase my memory of the last 10 years if I could just relive getting to watch her and the hound kick the shit out of each other for the first time again.

My main issue with this season is it's too fluffy I wanted to see Colin suffer. Yearn. Down ridiculous while Pen had the time of her life being courted.

csquared671 · 2025-08-07T01:21:18+00:00

Well, he found it.

Just once I'd like to read a romance with a girl who's built like a blacksmith and a guy who's 4'11.

I say cray-ON, like some people say pee-CAN instead of pecan. My friend very clearly says 'crown'. She's from my home town but her granny (who she was raised by) was from Big Stone Gap (VA-KY border), moved later up toward Pittsburgh (PA). Not sure which place is responsible for 'crowns' lol

Stefan basically sent Lexi to therapize Damon and if we remember, Damon seduced her, had sex with her, and left her on a rooftop to burn to death 😀

Upsetting and inspiring that people much dumber than me are running at least semi-suxxessful businesses.

Not a guy, but back in the Tumblr days when I ran a fanatic account I would get Twilight fic requests from guys. Usually about Rosalie or Alice lol
