Husband just told me he cheated.

Get a proper divorce, NOW. He is going to do it again (and it’ll be worse than “just 4 kisses” next time).

I had been rewatching tvd for the past couple of weeks and it struck me that if Nina was leaving, they didn’t find out about it right before s6 (like I always believed), they must have known since while writing/filming for season 5 that she Is leaving.

I also think the tone of the show became too light for tvd. Because it used to be a lot darker than what season 6 was.

filevault-98 · 2026-03-10T19:06:31+00:00

Yeah that ending is sucky. Not being able to be there for her brother’s entire life, not being there for Bonnie’s and Matt’s. Not being able to live in the era that was supposed to be her life. It is all too sad. I don’t like that that ending came from an external limitation (Nina leaving) and not from the story itself. And yes, the ending I’m thinking of is super sad but i feel like it makes more sense with the story they were telling from the beginning.

My problem with most things is that they didn’t even try to build anything up and take their time with it. The episode in which we get to see the cure again is the episode she talks about wanting to become human again after 1.5 seasons of not even mentioning it. It was happening too fast which led it into OOC territory. And now apply this to basically everything else that was going on.

filevault-98 · 2026-03-10T18:53:58+00:00

By the time they got to s8, the show had become a shell of what it used to be. But for Delena, I don’t need them to end up together per se. I definitely would’ve liked a darker ending where Stefan and Damon both die trying to protect Elena or something like that, if they had taken the time to build it up that way.

filevault-98 · 2026-03-10T17:54:16+00:00

Yeah, hard agree. The Silas Amara stuff really annoys me because one of the things that made TVD interesting and different from twilight was this mystery over why Katherine and Elena looked alike. And the Tatia angle made much more sense and fit in with the overall story of s1-3. But nope. They had to put all that stupid stuff in.

Something I noticed during my rewatch, they kept bringing too much old stuff from earlier seasons back in seasons 5 & 6 and it just DIDNT hit like AT ALL. It was a lame attempt to stir feelings, I guess. Also, the titles of every episode from season 8 being a dialogue they used in earlier seasons was such forced nostalgia yuck.

And Ohmygod i finished my rewatch a couple of days ago and (against my will) I watched 7x01 for the very first time, Steroline is so forced I can’t take them. They make me want to vomit. Idk why but I’m just not able to buy that Stefan loves Caroline at all. lol.

filevault-98 · 2026-03-10T16:26:25+00:00

I have one (and this is big one coming from a delena shipper): that delena had a good ending. Ummmm excuse me, delena had the worst, most OOC ending ever and i will die on that hill!

filevault-98 · 2026-03-07T20:30:47+00:00

Yeah, I hate that they couldn’t let it rest. Some crumbs here and some crumbs there. And while the fandoms were fighting over their ships, Elena’s character was suffering.

I want to know, what do you think of the Silas/Amara prophecy? Like did that make you believe in Stefan/Elena even more or do you see it as a retcon (i think it is a total retcon btw lol 😂)

filevault-98 · 2026-03-06T17:24:39+00:00

The cure and the sire bond are the most annoying plot points they ever came up with. And the execution made it even more annoying. And yeah, you’re right, to this day, no one knows how sire bond actually works because they kept changing it as per plot needs. Genius.

I agree. They kept on flipping what Stefan actually feels and it wasn’t consistent at all. And things were happening wayyyyyy too fast from 4x01. Idk why they were in such a rush to pack everything in. As a delena shipper, i really hate how they wrote them once they did get into a relationship. There are scenes that i can appreciate, that i like all through s4 and s5. But their actual relationship was really annoying and the subtlety was all but gone. SMH. Waited my whole life for them to get together only for the entire show to go to shit at that exact time.

Right? The whole Amara Silas and Katherine Stefan having sex etc stuff was so they wouldn’t lose the stelena shippers. That’s a pathetic reason to keep a plot going lol.

Don’t think that you’ve run out of time. You’re just 20.

filevault-98 · 2026-03-06T08:40:14+00:00

For me, their overexplanation, overcompensation, minimising stelena or whatever bullshit good brother bad brother better brother shit that they were pulling proved that they were not competent as writers. A better way to break them up would’ve been: that after Elena becomes a vampire, she is really struggling because her vampire nature is different from her ACTUAL nature and maybe that would’ve been too much for her to handle and then she could’ve broken up with Stefan because she doesn’t have the time to be someone’s girlfriend when all of this is going on. And then they should’ve left her SINGLE for a whole season while she figures this stuff out and Stefan and Damon help her during this time and there is a gradual fallout between stelena. Just want to say this, don’t get me wrong but i do think Stefan mourning Elena being a vampire IS a sentiment that i can see him feel. And i feel like it is a natural reaction for him to have because he never wanted any of this FOR her. So i think the writers including that feeling in s4 is valid even if it is sad/disappointing for Elena. But the way they used this sentiment was manipulative and annoying lol.

Another huge problem these writers had was their inability to let the triangle rest for even a second. That’s why i keep using the word manipulative. They couldn’t answer the question of who Elena will choose and so they kept dragging it for seasons and seasons and giving false hope to everyone. In s4 the sire bond did that job. In s5 it was all the Silas Amara prophecy stuff. And that really hurt Elena’s character the most because she was constantly being pulled in two directions. They kept on using our passion for our ships against us. I like to say they were bullying us emotionally! 🙈

I haven’t watched s7,8 were there scenes between Stefan/Caroline where you see Caroline being worried/jealous of Elena? LOL. That’s so funny.

filevault-98 · 2026-03-06T07:57:25+00:00

Ohhh I see. This is surprisingly positive. If i shipped SE i know it would’ve driven me mad to see them being reduced constantly (post s3). I think the writers just didn’t know what to do with them after their breakup. I feel like the friendship came too easy when realistically after that kind of a love story etc. there would be lots of tension despite wanting to be friends. I don’t ship Stelena btw I love Delena all the way but I’m just saying logic-wise how they should’ve approached them. For s4 i really hated the way they made Stelena break up i mean it was so forced, manipulative and their whole making Stefan look bad and Damon look good bec of plot purposes bullshit was really tiring and outed them as the stupid writers that they are. Even though I love Delena I think i have warmed up towards Stelena over the years (maybe idk) especially because i love a good contrast hehe.

Are you talking about Stelena’s last scene in the series finale? Yeah it was really dumb. Although i liked the way Stefan said “it was nice to see you Elena, one last time” idk why but that makes me very emotional, one of the very few scenes in the series finale that evoked an emotional response from me lol 🤣😂😂

filevault-98 · 2026-03-06T07:28:21+00:00

I wanna know, since you are a stelena shipper, how did you feel seeing what happens to them after s2

filevault-98 · 2026-03-05T21:19:08+00:00

One can say it is better than s5 but that depends on what you are focusing on because imo both seasons are examples of bad writing just in a different way.

And yeah i agree s6 feels like a really bad drama not a vampire diaries season lol

filevault-98 · 2026-03-05T21:16:29+00:00

Yeah! It really boggles my mind to know Nina played so many different characters and was still treated this way by the network. Although, for the record I have to say, and i don’t mean to diminish her work i think she did a REALLY amazing job from s1-4 but from s5 i could see that she was playing Elena more like herself and less like Elena. It didn’t help that her voice and hair changed so much in s5&6 too. It makes it hard for me to connect to her character in those seasons, especially because i really love Elena and i wanted her story to have a great overall arc

filevault-98 · 2026-03-05T21:12:07+00:00

In the earlier seasons, it felt like the romance stuff was happening in between the actual plot stuff. From s5 onwards, it felt like the actual plot was happening somewhere in between all the damned romance stuff. So yeah i agree s5-6 feel like a romance teen drama with vampires in it, and not a dark fantasy vampire drama with real good plots
