#tvd preferences

@survivingpierce liked for a starter

"AND WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ME?" she's leans back in her chair; the picture of nonchalance. But while her posture screamed indifference and boredom, her eyes are laser-focused on the other woman. Strangers though they may be, there's something itching at the inside of her brain. Some instinctual recognition of like. There's something about Katherine that reminded Kisa of herself far too much for her to comfortably underestimate her.

"What exactly is it that you want?"

#survivingpierce #hope this works! #i've left the setting a bit vague seeing as my default tvd-universe is in NOLA #and i noticed you have a verse for the originals #but if you'd prefer it just be your default post S4 tvd verse we can do that too :)

Will never understand the needless morality logic Stefan stans place around their love for Stefan (which only ever seems to exist to hate on Damon). I will always prefer a man that kills for an emotional reason over a man that kills just due to the lust to kill. Bloodlust is a desire just as much as “I killed him because I wanted to”-Damon always kills for humanity/emotional reasons. It’s just that stefan denies that bloodlust is a desire, while Damon admits his desire. Will always prefer a man that owns his flaws instead of denies them. I guess it’s my personal emotional bias, that denial of flaws imo is less redeemable than reveling in one’s flaws (Damon). Denial of flaws (and looking down on other’s) is the whole basis of the Christian white supremacist b.s. I’ve lived under my whole life.

I feel like I'm going crazy, because if I put the pieces of the puzzle together I can say that Damon and Bonnie are canonically in love. And I could write an entire essay about it pointing out scenes and parallels and lines and what they mean starting with Damon's letter to Bonnie. I kept thinking about this because I was rewatching this scene here.

He says that supposedly he has everything, but he has nothing. Bonnie is dying and he is desperately trying to save her life even if it means she wakes up and kills him. He's going to extremes because Bonnie just wanted to die. He manages to wake her up by talking about his relationship with Elena; teases her to the level that she rips his heart out. He literally gave his heart to Bonnie in the same place he gave his heart to Elena.

DUDE!!! WHAT?! I'm hallucinating all this and my brain has been corroded with fanfiction? Or am I really seeing this? Was Damon willing to die to save her life and basically saying he's in love with her? I'm going crazy, please someone from the TVD fandom tell me I'm not going crazy. 

He's in love with both of them and the last conversation Elena had with him was about how he can have both and I'm going to die on this hill!!!

The season 7 is basically Bonnie being teased by Enzo every 5 minutes about the fact that she's in love with Damon before he left her behind. He seems to be absolutely sure of that, you know why? He was spending time with Lilly who helped Kai with the plan. She had very open ears in that house and what I'm saying makes perfect sense when I think about it. Kai made Damon make a choice. What the hell happened in that Prison World?! Damon has thought a lot about this piece of advice he's been giving Stefan I wonder why...

#He wasn't right of course. He should have just accepted that Bonnie was going to die because the result was literal hell on earth. #TVD 7x21 #bamon shippers club #Bamon #binge watching Vampire Diaries way too much #Am I supposed to ignore this shit? #He reminds me of Damon from the first few seasons #Going to extremes when he was in love with Elena and preferring her alive and hating him #there are too many parallels to ignore #He is deliberately drawing a parallel with Stefan who is in love with Caroline at the moment. #this scene is the extreme confirmation that Damon is in love with Bonnie and it is not unrequited love #Damon talked about flowers and chocolates being romantic gestures and he brought flowers to Bonnie when he came back with that goofy face th #He ruined everything and now he wants to be extreme in saying how much he cares because Bonnie clearly didn't read the letter.

Everyone saying that "we got confirmation that Kathleen/Celia is trans in foul lady fortune" clearly did not read the other two books very carefully because its explicitly stated in the very early chapters of these violent delights that Celia was born a male but was a girl. One of the first descriptions of her is of her jade pendent hiding her adams apple. Also, anyone still calling Celia 'Kathleen/Celia' is wrong. Her name is Celia. She hasn't been pretending to be Kathleen since before she joined the communists.

If you've finished Foul Lady Fortune and you're still referring to her as 'Kathleen/Celia' it's bordering on transphobic. I think it is mentioned 3 times (?) that she used to go my Kathleen and two of them were in the early book by Celia herself. Once when she was reflecting on her past, the second when her pendent came loose and Oliver fixed it.

The third time was by Rosalind and what actually happens is that she says "it had been a while since she had thought about Kathleen, the real Kathleen, the real Kathleen who hadn't reached her 15th birthday" or something along those lines

Other than that Celia is only ever referred to as Celia. Never Kathleen.

Her name is Celia. Not Kathleen. Use the right name for gods sake

#seriously guys where have you been. she's been mtf trans since book 1. #Celia has been her preferred name since then her father made her go by Kathleen so she could transition #foul lady fortune #flf #celia lang #rosalind lang #kathleen lang #these violent delights #tvd #ove #our violent ends

Scarepair Rowboat: Barolena | Bonnie Bennett x Caroline Forbes x Elena Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries)

Caroline's smiling face greets Bonnie and Elena at the door. "Who's ready for horror Halloween movie night?"

It appears to be a rhetorical question; she ushers them both inside, ignoring their protests as they nearly spill the hot chocolates that she demanded they bring. In her words, the Mystic Grill just make it better than any homemade crap.

"It's all in the chocolate sprinkles and the hazelnut syrup," she informs them before taking a long sip of the cup Elena hands her. Her eyes close in a moment of bliss and she hums contentedly. "God, it's better than sex. Or blood."

"Two things you don't ever expect to hear in a sentence together," Bonnie remarks with an amused grimace at Elena, who laughs lightly.

Disappearing into the kitchen, Caroline calls back, "There are some snacks out on the table. I don't think we decided on which movie we were going to start with so I've just gone ahead and loaded up Hocus Pocus."

Bonnie and Elena move through to the sitting room to find that they've walked into the most luxurious movie theatre. The lights are off except for a lamp in the corner giving off a gentle, ambient orange glow. The TV mounted on the wall is paused on the starting screen of the movie, and the coffee table is completely loaded with bowls of various snacks, from three different flavours of popcorn to Bonnie's favourite packet of skittles and Elena's favourite miniature cookies.

Bonnie sniffs the air with furrowed brows. She turns to Elena. "Is it just me or... does it smell like fruit in here?"

"Kind of like berries," Elena agrees.

She nudges Bonnie to sit down and follows her. Immediately, Bonnie swipes a small handful of candy corn m&m's, pressing a finger to her lips for Elena to shush her giggling.

"Hey, Care," Bonnie calls through as Elena steals one from her palm and quickly pops it in her mouth before sipping her hot chocolate. "I thought you said it was a horror movie night."

"I did." Caroline reappears in the doorway, pointing at Bonnie when she raises her eyebrows pointedly at the TV. "Hey, Hocus Pocus really scared me as a kid. I always thought I was going to get, like, abducted by witches every Halloween."

"You still might," Elena jokes, nudging Bonnie's shoulder again. She steals another m&m from her palm, popping it into her mouth with a grin.

Caroline rolls her eyes and motions for them to budge up; she slides in beside Bonnie. Lips twitching with amusement, she also swipes an m&m.

"Well, I wouldn't mind so much now," she says. "Only if it's Bonnie, though." Leaning back, she then adds, "And for the record, there are more movies lined up after this. We're just starting with something not too scary to ease us into it, and then we're going to watch Jennifer's Body, then Freddie Vs Jason, and so on."

"Oh, good choice with Jennifer's Body," Elena says.

"As long as it's anything but IT, I'm good," Bonnie says.

There's a pause. Bonnie stops mid-munch of an m&m, another one halfway to her mouth as her eyes flick back up to Caroline's wary expression.

"No," Bonnie says.

"It's fifth on the list," Caroline confesses.

"Caroline! You know I hate clowns. Remember when you tried to make me watch season four of American Horror Story and I had nightmares for two weeks?"

By her expression, it's clear that that slipped her memory, somehow.

"It was pretty bad," Elena gingerly agrees. Getting in between the two of them when they're bickering can be a pretty bad idea, and taking a side is usually even worse than when she tries to play peacekeeper.

Still, she feels a need to jump to Bonnie's defence this time; she was the one, after all, who spent those two weeks keeping herself awake until five in the morning with Bonnie because she was too scared to sleep.

"Alright, alright!" Caroline grabs her phone and taps her screen a few times. "Done. IT is no longer on the list. Which means that we'll be going from Unfriended to Coraline, which I thought would be good somewhere in the middle to sort of give us a break from all the super scary stuff."

"Sounds good to me," Elena says.

Bonnie smiles gratefully at Caroline, gently nudging her shoulder. Really, she just leans into her side. "Me, too."

For what it's worth, given that we're talking about September 2023 - I'll gladly join you in a stacked rewatch for The 100. I've tried to rewatch in order and it's just impossible for me now, but I think the air date method is a really novel way to mix it up. Count me in! (In ten months, lol.)

I often find myself missing the ~energy of this fandom (read: exclusively that of my mutuals in my little dash <3), so if any of you joined me I'd love it! I do want to rewatch the show eventually, but like you, thinking of a regular rewatch... eh. But this way is a lot of fun and can lead to really interesting findings IMO.

(in particular, I think a rewatch of this show, knowing all I know in hindsight, it's going to make Clarke a more enjoyable protagonist for me LMAO)

The (tentative) idea would be start in October 22nd 2023 (in part so I have time after finishing stackediaries lol), with the second season's premiere. That way, we'd finish on September 30th (2024) with the proper series finale. I'm c&p how the schedule would look under the cut:

Besties please don't hurt me but I cannot for the life of me get into the pjo show, no matter how hard I try looking at all those pretty gifs. I know the actors are lovely and talented and I wish them all great success but I as a person have a very hard time dealing with changes and boy did the show make a lot of changes. Like I am sorry but that's not percy Jackson that's literally will solace 😭 and I just can't deal with that. And I TRIED seeing it as an alternative universe but so far I just CANT. Maybe one day

#like idk which mental illness of mine makes it so hard for me to deal with changes #just wanted to get my 5 cents out of the system in case anyone was wondering why i haven't engaged in the fandom yet despite being a huge #fan of the books #took me a long time to accept the tvd show as an alternate universe too #but i still prefer the books because i knew them first #no matter how cringe they are #but that's another topic altogether #shut up anna

hearing that Hope's actress got a lot of hate for her body/weight made me realize Elena's actress probably did too when she filled out in season, like, 5

#i should have realized back when i started watching tvd and started getting recommended thinspo shit #or seeing 'i prefer young nina' reels in instagram #hate it here #the vampire diaries

[elizabethbennets]

I don’t know how to explain it but gossip girl, pretty little liars, and the vampire diaries are the same shows

#don’t ask me to say which one I prefer because they are the same #do you know what I mean #the vampire diaries #pretty little liars #gossip girl #tvd #pll

"That's what this is about? You want to expose me?" "No! I want you to remember who you are." "Why? so I'll feed? so I'll kill? so I'll remember what it's like to be brothers again?? You know what? Let her go. Let her tell everyone that vampires have returned to Mystic Falls. Let them chain me up and let them drive a stake through my heart because at least I'll be free of you."

@thegoldenheiress​​ ♥ ( HOPE ) liked for a starter

"I do not have an anger problem, okay?" Eva's southern tone was cutting as she snapped her piercing gaze over to Hope. Oh, if only she had a dollar for every single time someone told her she needed to control her anger ... she would be a millionaire! "People need to learn to stop pissin’ me off ..." She paused, pulling the plate of food in front of her even closer towards her, as though selfishly guarding it, "And touchin’ my food.”

i am deeply affronted whenever someone refers to klaus as a serial killer in fics, because, um ... no???

he's a mass murderer, get your facts right, dammit!!!

#now STEFAN on the other hand #an argument could be made since he appears to have had a preference for pretty young women in the twenties #but really he's a ripper he wasn't picky #tvd #klaus mikaelson #ella originals

[bakerolivias-archived]

i get that tvd is a show about elena gilbert (and maybe the salvabros because their characters seem to overshadow her a lot) and given the fact that it's an Elena Gilbert Show it would make sense that her grief is a focal point - and it should be that way. meanwhile the originals was literally called the originals, making it the Klaus Mikaelson Show and his emotions would be focused on over there

but like if tvd can find room for klaus to have a romance with caroline (as well as mabekah and kathlijah) then they should also have klaus be slightly more emotional about kol's death?? and like it doesn't make sense for them to have the Original Trio not be sad about their brothers because that's not really the spirit of "always and forever"

#like why did klaus literally go ballistic over the fact that stefan kidnapped his fam?? if he doesn't care about them #i get that he's closer to bex and elijah and it's commonplace for siblings to have favorites and not even like each other at times #and prefer one over the other #but i mean #no wonder why finn and kol were so upset and felt so alienated from the fam #no wonder they gravitated toward esther on TO? who actually seemed to show some amount of familial affection no matter how twisted she was #smh #tvd for ts
