If you could personally remove two characters, (one male and one female) completely from the TVD/TO verse, like absolute erasure, their past history, actions within the show, relations to different characters, everything could be removed and they'd vanish without a trace, who would you choose, or would you choose one at all??

I don’t know... I don’t like Tyler, never did, never will, but Matt was kind of totally useless, so I guess he could vanish.

I also do not like Aurora at all. She’s such a stereotyped, caricature of a ~~crazy ex~~ trope that I just can’t, and the way she’s used in TO is just ridiculous, tbh. Nothing makes sense about her participation, so I’d scrap her, I guess.

READ tw2 again. i shall drop a more coherent comment in a moment, BUT, wtf I'm in need of a mikaelbro sandwich with me in the middle right tf now. thank you for leaving me drooling. I shall never not get mentally fucked by reading your fic. i suppose on some level i'm angry with you for putting me in this world and then ripping me away from it when i finish reading, but i shall bask in this bubble of mikaelbro horniness for a lil while longer. THANK YOU FOR EXISTING.

😂😂 Yeah, don’t we all need a Mikaelbro sandwich? That was just a tiny snippet of a scene that has left this world and I thought it would be interesting to share for mental images purposes. I’m glad it worked for you! 😂😂

oh my god girl, i just went and saw the comment, and it's the same bloody person, IssaIsa, yeah they comment on my fics too, and it's usually such horridly discouraging shit that just makes me not want to write for a while, but then i got over it, but seriously, the person is PROBLEMATIC, the very first comment I got ever, like on my very first fic was them, and I was so bloody demotivated for it, she asked me to kill caroline off becuase she's pretentious and a fucking bitch in my fic, and that it was annoying to read her the way I portrayed her, so yeah completely understand what you feel like, they’ve been commenting on each and everyone of my chapters since then, and the amount of trolls in this fandom, sheesh someone needs to bring in pest control. But at the end of the day are just a bunch of hobby-less bitter assholes who make others feel bad because they don’t feel good about themselves.

Oh no! They left you crappy comments too? Seriously, I tried to be like, nice on the first time I answered one of their comments. But then they straight out left a comment that was just ‘Caroline and Elijah are retards’ and that’s when I just lost all manner of politeness and told them to go read something else. I won’t be approving any of their comments anymore, if they ever leave one. Anybody who’s out there just to thrash other writers does not deserve to be given a single moment of attention.

I checked their account, and they have one fic under their name with many nice comments. But one of the comments was someone telling them to stop being rude to other writers, so I’m guessing this is something they do frequently.

I’m so sorry you had to endure this person as well, and about the other trolls. There really are too many of them in this fandom, it’s surreal. I started moderating my comments so I wouldn’t have to deal with that kind of shit, and the number of trolls has gone down considerably since, but it has not kept them away for good. Every now and then I still get one. I THOUGHT this IssaIsa person was “legit”, as in, a totally tactless person who simply doesn’t know how to convey a decent opinion without making a total ass of themselves, simply because they used a real profile, but it seems it is a case of troll as well.

DEFINITELY DEFINITELY DEFINITELY IN FOR THE OUTTAKES, Like maybe a tiny oneshot/drabble collection you update from time to time whenever you feel like with fluff/smut/domestic angst/kc being insufferable/baby eve growing up, is more than welcome, something lighthearted and random if you do not want to delve into s3 which is totally understandable, because that dumpster fire is painful to sit through and especially considering your writing process I wouldnt want anyone to go through that (1)

(2) multiple times, however, one shots that just give us a tiny sneak peek into how eve's family is doing after maybe 3 yrs of relative peace or maybe when eve's a teenager with a bf and klaus going batshit crazy over it, is entrely and wholly welcome, that last fluffy outake you did just engulfs my heart with warmth and tinglies because it's so fcking cute and wholesome, so yeah more of those outtakes are entirely welcome to appear out of nowhere and make our days just a tiny bit fuller. (2)

(3) that being said if you do attempt to write s3 too, i think it's a) gonna take a lot of effor to "fix" and b) it might disrupt the relative peace the second book is apparently going to end with, but is it the most problematic season in dire need of fixing?YES.absolutely, so if you do end up rewriting it, you're a fandom hero and also incredibly patient, I would love to see s3 (would never say no to tw writing) but if you feel averse to it, no pressure, afterll ur in it to enjoy yourself first

Thank you! :) It’s very good to know that you’d be into outtakes. 😊 The only ones I have ever considered are moments that would’ve happened within the story, and some from an imaginary season 3. When i am finished with this fic, depending on how inspired my muse is and also on what the general feeling will be (you never know, maybe people will hate the ending 😂), I’ll consider opening the inbox for some ideas, or maybe coming up with some of my own.

And yes, I have a special hatred for season 3. It’s the one I hate the most, tbh. You can just tell how nobody had any idea where they were going with anything. They were probably under some kind of crazy pressure there and just kept trying different things to see how it would go and it’s so choppy. The story keeps changing direction every two seconds, the characters are totally different from what they’d been presented as so far, the mess they make of Cami is so great I was feeling bad for her and I didn’t even like her. Tristan had the potential to be the best villain out of the bunch and yet he was the one who got axed first, leaving the INSUFFERABLE Lucien and the frankly offensive crazy ex stereotype that is Aurora. It’s insanely bad.

Unfortunately, as my rant probably indicates, I have ALREADY put myself through the pain of rewatching the third season. But all that did was confirm I’m not gonna rewrite that shit into an actual fic. lol I started with the headcanons to kind of see how I’d feel, if there was any hope there, but there isn’t. A better, more creative writer could maybe find a way to fix all that’s wrong with this season, but I am not that person. My headcanons just confirmed that, because even though I tried to kind of move some pieces around, I ended up at the same place with Aurora and Lucien, just with, you know, Klaroline. lol And boy, having to flip Klaus and Elijah in almost every episode is exhausting. And honestly, I just couldn’t be bothered to try that hard. BUT I DIGRESS.

My headcanons are way too long to be posted on tumblr, so I couldn’t even do that. But there might be like a scene or another that I could polish or whatever, if people were interested. 

And if you want a rewriting of season 3 that is PERFECTION, I highly recommend Whisper to me, help me remember (I think that’s what it’s called, sorry if I got that wrong, it’s been a while) by @lalainajanes. It’s all you need from TO s3.

Ok so that anon was me, and HONESTLY, straight up NO, I disagree, I'm always always always on the look out for updates, and full disclosure, I hadn't reblogged your work when it came out, because I have this system where I don't reblog more than 9-10 posts a day, and then the day after I didn't because right now it's Diwali season here in India and I'm trying to keep up with that theme, that being said I always have diligently checked out your updates from ao3 email, (1)

but I am not up to date with my reading, I think I havent gone past the chapter after the smut chapter, the 18th chapter, but thats just because I've been busy, but that does not mean I want to wait an entire month for each update, NO. I love this book, I consider it everything right and bright in the tvd verse, and the fact that you teased a crossover with tvd, leaves me in such delighted anticipation, NO I do not want to wait till feb for the next part of the story, I need it every two weeks 2

And honestly spacing out chapters for like a month, will make the story lethargic in pace, people may find an odd disconnect between consecutive chapters even though the chapters are continuous in storyline, I feel personally, what youre doing is great, and perfect, dont let the lack of reblogs fool you into thinking that this fic isnt A GIFT to this fandom, that honestly singlehandedly heals everything wrong with to/tvd, I think it's a beautiful story that should be a staple fic in the kcfandom

Listen, I think this is coming out wrong and I’m like making people feel guilty for not reblogging and not reading or whatever, and that’s awful of me. So I’m really sorry. That’s not what I mean here and it’s not one person not doing this or that, so please don’t feel like you HAVE to keep up and do whatever just to please the whiny author. Don’t. It’s really more like a general feeling about fandom as a whole and not any individual person. It feels like I’m pointing fingers here and that’s not what I want to do. 

ALTHOUGH. I am constantly championing here about the importance of leaving comments, reblogging posts, letting the creators of fandom know you’re into their stuff, etc.I even started a whole fandom event to get people more engaged. Don’t think the effects were very lasting, but anyway. I really do think it’s important to always let people know you enjoy stuff because this is a community, and that’s how you keep things going. People can’t just guess others appreciate something if you don’t tell them. And I don’t mean this about me, but in general. I see some BEAUTIFUL gifsets and edits getting so little attention. INCREDIBLE fics that have like two reblogs and 5 hearts.

But that’s not to say people have to read stuff they don’t feel like just because. Or reblog everything that crosses their timelines just because. And FOR SURE I don’t want to make people think THEY HAVE TO READ MY STUFF GRRR, because that’s just awful. And I’ll stop talking about that because I’m realizing what this is sounding like now. 🤣🤣

Please, by all means, do not feel like you have to apologize for HAVING A LIFE and better things to do than reading a depressing fic!! Omg!! You do whatever you want, whenever you want, if you want to. My writing insecurities are my problem and no one else’s. 😂 No one should have to explain themselves. The second fanfiction stops being entertaining is the second it completely loses its purpose. I just want people to maybe have fun reading it and find some much needed distraction.

Everything you said there is so incredibly sweet and I’m very flattered that you feel this way. ❤️ Seriously, that’s just super nice of you. I have no intention here to be the ideal fix-it or anything of the sort, staple fic or whatever, I’m not even my OWN favorite fix-it for TO! I’m just writing this thing and I really like it and I fell in love with these characters and it brings me ridiculous amounts of happiness when other people get into it and like it as well. That’s really it. So if you do find any little satisfaction reading it, I’m very glad!

Anyway. I am sorry you felt you had to explain yourself! My comment to other anon wasn’t so much about your comment, you just made a suggestion which is valid, it was more about the other one. For now, I’ve shelved my plans for a quick update and will let it sit for a bit. I’ve gotten amazing feedback already on AO3, I have no complaints, it’s just really tumblr and how repetitive my update posts are and how useless they become that made me decide not to post updates here anymore.

controversial topic but I'm being daring here, does the age difference between Klaus and Caroline or for that fact any Vampire-human/baby vamp pairing bother you (stelena delena haylijah kolvina) Now I'm well aware we cannot judge a fantasy make believe fictional universe with our real life laws and rules of society, neither can we expect them to conform to our 'trivial human conventions.' but still as a critical viewer, if you detatch yourself from the tv show, what would be your take on it?

No, it doesn’t bother me. Honestly, this is just a teen vampire drama. It’s popcorn television. You can’t project real life standards into that all the time, or you’ll never be able to enjoy anything, ever again. There are limits, of course, but age-wise, I really don’t think it’s an issue. These are 1000 yo vampires, but they look 20-something (when the show starts, anyway), so whatever. I can live with that.

It would probably be different if the teenagers looked like real 17 yo kids, which they never did. I hate teen shows with actual teens because then I can’t disconnect from how young everyone is. To me, even though they were in high school, it never felt like they were kids. They were roughly my age (some were older) when I started watching TVD, in my really early 20s, so that’s cool. 

This is mindless entertainment. Sometimes we can let it be just that.

also I think there's a single troll going through the entire fandom at the moment, they've been active on my works called me and I quote, "Ok no wonder you write Caroline so horribly in your other fics, your mind is effed up. Good luck being a decent person you deranged wRiTeR." They're using extremely ableist slurs and are in general a bitch, are they anon with you? bc with me they use a different name everytime but it's clearly the same person. god i wish ao3 had a way to block these fckers.

God, that’s just terrible. I really hate how many trolls there are in this fandom. I should’ve been used to it by now, but it still astounds me. None of my previous fandoms had this many people hell-bent on leaving offensive, insulting comments like that.

But, surprisingly, my commenter, this time, is not an anon. lol The person has commented with their actual profile, and they’ve left maybe three or four comments over the course of the story, all of them very unpleasant. lol It’s just someone who really does not like the way I write this story but somehow can’t stop reading it and wants me to know just how much they hate my characters. You gotta at least respect the fact this person hasn’t gone anon for it.

For the lil ask game you’ve reblogged

K, N, T, V, X

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?

I think I’ve already answered this one before, but I’ve actually written the angstiest idea I ever came up with. It was a fic called Pendulum that now rests in peace on the Other Side. 

N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?

All of my fics, please. I don’t wanna have to write anything myself!

T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

Already answered this one as well. It’s not a trope, just something that happens a lot, and that’s female character bashing. Doesn’t matter if it’s Elena or Hayley or Cami or Hope or whoever, I just do not appreciate how badly women get generally treated in fic and I don’t believe we have to put these female characters down in order to praise Caroline. Canon is cruel enough to its female characters, I think we can do better.

V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Also one I answered before, but the truth is I don’t even want to write my own fics, let alone somebody else’s. lol I’d rather just read!

X: A character you enjoy making suffer.

Klaus. I really enjoy torturing Klaus. Although, now that I think about it, I probably torture Elijah more, but it’s completely unintentional. 

Thank you for the asks and sorry it took me a little to get to it! :)

ok but were you able to stomach leather-elijah in season 5? Because I experienced a disembodied state of just dissonance seeing Elijah in anything other than a three-piece suit with a pocket scarf.

😂😂 I want to have suited Elijah’s babies tbh, he rocks a suit like no one else, but I was into normal-person Elijah. Actually, back when I was first watching TO, I hated Elijah with a passion. The only time I ever liked him was when he was “normal”. lol The Elijah-centric episode in s5 was my favorite.

Now I’ve seen the light and am very much into regular Elijah as well, but I still like his unsuited version. As someone who’s watched TO more time than it would be safe, I can say that he has, indeed, worn different clothes from time to time, all to great success.
