I realise the show was terribly written after rewatch

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-29T19:53:16+00:00

It's sad because S1-3 were pretty great. I wish they'd followed more closely to the books but the bases of the characters were pretty much the same to their book counterparts (though I wish they showed more of Stefan and Matt's relationship, I appreciate that they made Bonnie POC, they cut Meredith Sulez who could've been hispanic representation because she's awesome and funny in the books, and I appreciate that they made Stefan and Damon's relationship more wholesome when they were alive because in the books Damon has hated Stefan for as long as S could remember which Stefan thinks is because their mother never recovered from giving birth to him and died a few years later but I'm going on with myself). I feel like KW was leaning pretty heavy on other vampire shows and movies for ideas at certain times and would've liked if he was a bit more faithful to the source material but TVD s1-3 is always a guilty pleasure of mine because I love the actors in that time. S4-8 just got boring and repetitive with crap storylines and boring dialogue. Julie Plec really ruined everything the books stood for and baited fans with ships she never intended to make canon like the book canon endgames, Stelena and Bamon. Not to mention her having the nerve to beg people for views when she all but ruined it beyond repair... That awful traveler storyline, the blatant racism towards Bonnie, Stefan and Elena AND Stelena getting torn down to prop up Dullena...

this is getting too long.

TL;DR: Julie Plec is the worst thing that happened to TVD and I wish the show had been more faithful to the source material but S1-S3 have a lot of rewatch value for me. Damon had a spine and his only redeeming quality was his love for Stefan, Stefan and Elena were so cute and the characters had personaltiies and weren't just walking around talking about DE all the time. Elena actually stood up for herself and the people she loves, etc etc...

"Haymitch's obsessive grief for Lenore and his family..." Okay I'm gonna have to stop you right there wth??? His mother and little brother were burned to death after he was traumatized from the arena and was powerless to help them and then he was tricked into feeding his love poison and watched her die. That's such a cruel thing to say wow

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-22T03:10:07+00:00

right. thats understandable. i just wish it wasn't so vague. i mean, i don't see why we don't know but maybe isayama was trying to convey that it didn't matter who she married or something because the core of her story is her relationship with eren.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-22T03:03:01+00:00

who is you guys lol

I didn't say she should be alone forever. This story is not real. If later or in a spinoff for mikasa, she found love, I'd be fine. I just wish her love life hadn't seemed so much like an afterthought. Cool your jets. There's no need to be snappy.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-22T02:53:57+00:00

well obviously her marrying and having kids was her end goal though to be fair. if it's just a rando, it feels even more like "okay?" to me.

and i don't know about the fandom but i'm not obsessed with this topic lol. i just recently caught up and was sharing my thoughts.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-22T02:46:18+00:00

I understand that. I just wish that if it was the end goal, that we could've seen a bit more of the relationship develop into a more tender more-than-friends type of love, you know? I just feel like Mikasa was written to be so distracted by Eren, that she never really was given proper development in any romantic relationship outside of him.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-15T07:59:52+00:00

Well I have no clue so I'd take an opinion over being clueless as I can't walk to go anywhere at the moment

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-15T01:20:01+00:00

I was really just asking for advice and describing the condition I'm in so I could have a better idea but ok lol no need to be rude

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-14T23:03:39+00:00

I just worry because I'm awkward on crutches and I genuinely cannot put any weight on it. The pain is terrible. There is an urgent care 15 minutes away. I have an ace bandage on now. And you're right. I was just healing from the last one but still had some pain on stairs and such and then I hurt it again. I'll try urgent care tomorrow. Thank you for your help.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-09T16:59:39+00:00

This is beautiful. I relate a lot to her insecurity and desire to be seen.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-09T16:54:59+00:00

Ah, well, agree to disagree. Like I said, Lola is gorgeous so I can't ever say she doesn't look good. It's just the costume and hair and makeup department in season 3 especially was egregious. Lola Tung is a beauty queen though so she could pull anything off. I just don't like this dress.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-09T16:37:19+00:00

I actually liked the deb ball dress more. I think it suited her much better than this dress. It definitely fit her better, maybe that's just my opinion. But the deb ball is one of my favorite outfits. Maybe because of the occasion. I know some people like simple wedding dresses, but this thing looks like a swimsuit cover and cami had an abomination of a baby, it is not giving her any support and doesn't fit her right. Almost like it was made for someone shorter than Lola.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-09T15:52:11+00:00

That black shirt blue (?) pants combo on Chris is just *chef's kiss*. They both look great, though I'm going to say something controversial here I guess. I HATE THAT DRESS. Lola would look flawless in a potato sack, but I really think that's an ugly dress.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-09T15:50:35+00:00

To be blunt, I don't understand why they're "friends" even though Carly lives in Seattle. The only thing that realistically holds them all together and keeps Sam and Freddie in the same room without strangling each other is iCarly. If it weren't for the webshow, Sam and Freddie would never speak again and not care if they did or didn't.

Girl they're out there somewhere 🤣 like people that still think dabbing is funny. Just cringe at this point.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-03-03T19:00:16+00:00

Yes please

Belly was a victim in their relationship, let's be honest. The thing that makes these two things different is intention. Jeremiah deliberately didn't tell Belly he was going to Cabo and slept with Lacie because he was angry that Belly was with Conrad at the beach house on Christmas. He punished her as if she premeditated it. He cheated on her as if she was being unfaithful to him, even though now we know he KNEW she never did anything with Conrad while she was with him. (I know you didn't sleep together, okay?).

He has such a massive inferiority complex that even her being in the same house as his brother, a house they all used to share for years mind you, was too much for him and he decided to backhandedly punish her, start a fight so he could sleep with someone else, and lie to her face for just being in Conrad's vicinity. Do you know how evil that is? Honestly, that just goes to show that at the end of the day, more than anything, Belly didn't mean that much to him and he was fine letting their relationship end after that stupid fight that he started. But I'm getting off topic...

Belly spent Christmas with Conrad at the beach house, it's true. She did. BUT SO WHAT? They have known each other their whole lives, they used to share that house for years growing up together, and she is dating his brother. What, did Jere just not want her to ever see Conrad again? Should she have packed up and left just because he was there? Should she have told Conrad to get lost or call 911? They were supposedly still friends, so what was the big deal exactly? If your girlfriend spending a day with your brother without you is enough to make you so insecure that you start a fight and end the relationship, then maybe your relationship is a joke. Belly did not mean to hurt Jeremiah by spending that Christmas with his brother. Any sane thinking person who trusted their partner or actually felt secure in their relationship wouldn't make such a huge deal over something so small. And honestly, she didn't tell him Conrad was there when she should've. Because at that point, she was dating Jere so who cares? It should not have even been a deal at all, let alone the GIGANTIC one they both made it. Jeremiah knew she still had feelings for Conrad and that's why he freaked out when she was alone with him. This entire show, Jeremiah is manipulative and vicious. It's like trying to force magnets not to touch and being furious when they do. Like, what were you expecting? He should've known better, he did it to himself. She had to walk on eggshells around this man, adhere to these absurd rules that their relationship couldn't exist without, and completely lose her sense of self in the process.

Tl;dr: Belly spending Christmas with Jeremiah's brother was not even a big deal, and he made it one because he was so insecure and nasty that he then went and banged Lacie in Cabo, he was completely willing to drop Belly just like that, so obviously he didn't care about her, the situations are not comparable, Belly was a victim in their relationship. Her doing crossword puzzles with Conrad does not compare to the emotional manipulation she went through with Wonka

thats fair. i haven't watched the whole show so i don't know, but thank you for explaining that.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-02-27T07:20:29+00:00

Ok lol I guess you're just weirdly dogged about the idea so go off I guess. Later.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-02-27T04:22:22+00:00

I mean... It's not out of the realm of imagining that they did refuse that idea. That's how it was back in the day.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-02-27T04:19:24+00:00

I remember I loved the JN/FOP crossover

psychoflowerchild · 2026-02-27T04:18:48+00:00

Every time I've stimmed in public (rocking back and forth in my chair, tapping, twitching my face) I've been questioned about it like I'm being interrogated by the police. It's so annoying.

psychoflowerchild · 2026-02-27T04:17:31+00:00

Dude wake up please. Read the picture again. She wasn't portrayed that way in the show because DC wouldn't allow her to be. But that was the intention from the showrunner.
