I feel like Silas and Amara should have been immune to the Malivore memory-erasing.

Can you imagine if these millenia-old, stoned immortals were asking the MFG were the slug people and cyclops went?

[nerdie-faerie]

It makes more sense that there's only one dose buried with Silas than what they were assuming because at the time of its creation Silas and Amara were the only 2 immortals and Qetsiyah had no intention for Amara to be cured as she was the anchor to the other side and it would undermine her revenge. There was no way to know that there'd ever be more immortals than just Silas that would need the cure so obviously only one dose exists

Petrova Doppelgängers and Femininity

I'm not sure if the show runners and the writers intended to do this, but the Petrova doppelgängers are deeply entrenched in femininity. The one thing that all doppelgängers have in common is that they are always the sufferers. That they are powerful but only because they can be used. And that is exactly how the world has used women for centuries.

Amara’s cast in stone for two thousand years, being the anchor to the other side, her power used to hold up the so called supernatural purgatory. Tatia’s love is twisted, her blood is used to turn the men she loved into monsters. She had a child, presumably from a man who either left her or died. And then she’s killed by the lover turned monster for her blood. Katherine’s child is ripped from her, and when she tries to start a new life, she’s shown a beautiful, romantic future with a lord before it’s ripped away from her too. Before she sees her whole family slain. Elena is entrenched in grief and trauma, her loss is like Katherine’s, but where Katherine’s happened in a single night, Elena’s happened over three years.

Over and over again, the doppelgängers are used for the two most personal things - their blood and their womb. Having children that they can’t raise.

Amara falls in love with a man far more powerful than her and is condemned to an eternity of suffering and punishment for her crime.

Tatia is blamed for coming between two brothers and killed for her crime.

Katherine has her child ripped from her arms, seeing her daughter only once before she’s gone forever. She goes to England and dreams of a perfect life, emboldened by Klaus and his ‘romantic’ pursuit of her. Probably sees dreams of being a lady and a wife and a mother, for she’s a mother without her child.

But when she realises that these are just her dreams and tries to take control of her situation, she’s punished and has to see her entire family dead. Punished because she did not accept death and suffering. It’s telling as well, the way she’s portrayed on the show, the femme fatale, the ‘sexy’ one, the whore to Elena’s Madonna.

The only one who gets sent to hell for her sins.

Elena sees her parents die, Elena’s stuck between two brothers who love her face and her body and her compliance more than they love her. Who loses her aunt despite giving into Klaus and then becomes his human blood bag. Who keeps trying to save Stefan until he breaks her spirit, who keeps trying to save Damon despite how he takes away her right to grieve.

Amara, Tatia, Katherine and Elena are all sufferers. They suffer for their blood and their bodies and their wombs. They scream and are turned into victims, monster teeth in their throats, and iv lines in their veins and their blood turned to stone.

They are a representation of the most fundamental ways in which women suffer. Through their blood and their wombs and their hearts.

They are not powerful beings, yet their blood and suffering is of use to others.

And yet, they persevere. Amara who chooses her own death, and Tatia who had willingly given her blood to save Elijah. Katherine who takes her death in her own hands and lives. Refuses to suffer. Elena who plays the game and uses everything at her disposal to save everyone she can around her.

Just as all women do.

They all play a game that’s been rigged against them since the beginning.

They are one whose blood enables the existence of vampires and hybrids. Without the doppelgängers, there would be no vampires, there would be no originals, and no hybrids. Their blood is what sustains two entire species.

And so, in one way or the other, they win.

The doppelgängers in TVD are such a interesting topic to me-

They literally exist because Silas and Amara went against the law of nature and become immortal, and nature found a way of balance by creating the doppelgängers. But then I questioned how the rest of the doppelgängers came to be because they’re all descendants from Silas and Amara right?

I assume that Amara and Silas had other family who would continue their bloodline? Because Qetsiyah cursed the both of them to stone, they obviously din’t continue their own bloodline- someone else had to.

Going over Amara’s bloodline, it would continue until we eventually get to Tatia, who I believe is from the petrova bloodline if I’m not mistaken. And then the bloodline would continue until we get Katherine, who gives birth to Nadia who continues the petrova bloodline since the rest of Katherine’s family was killed. Nadia’s bloodline would continue until we get to the Flemming’s, aka Isobel, who gives birth to Elena and she becomes the last of Amara’s doppelgängers.

With Silas’s bloodline we barely know anything. All we know is that it will eventually end up with the Salvatore bloodline and Stefan is born, and then the only reason the Salvatore bloodline continues if because of his and Damon’s half brother since they both got killed before they could ever have a family. And at some point, someone in the Salvatore family ended up with an Avery or something along those lines because the last of Silas doppelgängers was Tom Avery.

And there’s also the whole “doppelgängers are drawn to each other” thing which if you really think about it- meant Elena and Tom were meant to end up together if Stefan had never been turned and him and Elena met. We know Katherine and Stefan were truly drawn to each other because of this, we can assume Tatia met her own doppelgängers at some point, or she didn’t- because if we think about the fact that Katherine only met the Salvatores because she had been a vampire, her and Stefan were never meant to meet, and the whole doppelgängers being drawn to each other really only happens if two doppelgängers are alive around the same time-

And this is not even going over the fact that Stefan and Elena, even if they did end up together for a moment, broke up and would end up with different people (Elena with Damon, Stefan with Caroline briefly). Meaning that doppelgängers aren’t always meant to be (or maybe is because Stefan and Elena weren’t the doppelgängers that were meant to be together)

And if we really want to think further- if Amara and Stilas had never drank the cure- but the plot of TVD continued as it did and Damon and Elena would become human and have children together, the doppelgänger would continue but now because the Salvatore and Petrova bloodline were mixed- the next doppelgängers would be family-

The Doppelganger Timeline.

I have a question for anyone that's into The Vampire Diaries.

I know it is kind of universally recognized as canon but I'm not sure if it actually is stated, but do the Petrova doppelgangers actually only pop up every 500 years?

I've had this question for a while because it makes some sense before they introduce the Silas and Amara storyline, but I always assumed even before I watched the Silas storyline that the doppelgangers were more frequent, but because of their rarity it was very hard for them to be found out of all the people on earth. I understand where the idea comes from because Tatia, Katherine, and Elena were the only doppelgangers we were originally introduced to and they were all spaced 500 years apart. With the introduction of Silas and Stefan being doppelgangers I think it makes less sense though.

From what I remember the doppelgangers were created to restore a sense of balance and every doppelganger is meant to find their respective doppelgangers. Since Stefan was born in the 1800s wouldn't that mean there was a doppelganger of Amara sometime then? Or even if there wasn't wouldn't that mean there is a possibility for there to be more female doppelgangers throughout time?

I'm writing a fanfic that works very closely to canon and I don't want to go against something that was clearly stated as canon that I am just forgetting about. Was Stefan a fluke?

When they drank the immortality elixir, they violated the natural law that all living things must die, so Nature found a balance by creating mortal shadow selves.

Title: I’m So Sick of Running (As Fast As I Can)

Summary:

Two thousand years ago, Amarantos and Silas spurred Qetsiyah. One thousand years ago, a boy named Thorfinn died. Five hundred years ago, a boy named Kristopher survived. Or: Isobel Flemming gives birth to Elias Gilbert. This changes nothing. This changes everything.

amara petrova was a fae : she wandered into the mortal realm with her older brother as a toddler & couldn't find her way back home. her fae blood is what makes her doppelganger descendants such a magical rarity. there are other doppelgangers in the world than those form her line , but because she was never mortal to begin with almost amplifies it. those of the petrova line are able to tap into fae magic & even those as recent as elena could even cross into the fae realm freely , but since their true heritage died with amara & her older brother for he never told his spouse & own children who he really was it wouldn't even be a thought. because of her fae ancestry , elena's blood is even more of an amplifier for spells. only because she's so far down the line it does require a lot of it to be effect & unfortunately , or fortunately , it isn't fatal to vampires like amara's would be.
