This whole 'Bonnie and Elena deserved better' shit started because y'all were mad that Caroline got the happy ending she deserved and for some reason that's not allowed. Caroline wasn't a bad friend, they were. Bonnie was going to cut her out entirely when she was turned into a vampire against her will. Elena constantly put people above her. If anyone deserved better, it was her.

I don't know where to start with this one so I'm gonna just. go through it quickly.

Bonnie deserved better on a grander scale than just in the happy ending regard, although I'm glad you're acknowledging what she got wasn't a happy ending.

Caroline's ending is happy? Her husband is dead and chose to save his nasty ass brother AND his ex girlfriend over living with her, her baby daddy ruined her school because she was off being an absentee mother no matter HOW you spin it, one of her daughters got turned into a heretic and the other she will presumably outlive, the love of her life (her own words in reference to Tyler) is dead and so is the guy she shook down for money sometimes. She will also go on to outlive Bonnie and Elena. But at least she's alive...?

Caroline was a terrible friend to everyone at one point or another, but special shout out goes to her being completely oblivious or willfully ignorant to Bonnie's feelings as far as Stefan was concerned after he murdered Bonnie's boyfriend in front of her, and to her constantly betraying Elena's trust in the name of Stefan.

Bonnie had trauma with vampires. And Caroline had just killed someone. Whether she could control herself or not, Bonnie witnessed that in some part. How dare she have complicated feelings on the matter?

Let's be serious here. Who was Elena supposed to put Caroline above? Jeremy, her little brother? Bonnie, her actual best friend? By the time she even got to the point she was putting Damon (because, let's face it, that's who you mean) above Caroline, Caroline was doing the same shit with Stefan. Piss up a rope. The only thing Caroline deserved was to get her ass beat at least once a season.

Is it weird that I kind of find Hunter boring? Like, I do like him! But when I compare him to the rest of the Hecsquad, he just kind of comes up short? Especially with the fandom being a little TOO obsessed with him and actually wishing he’d be the main character instead of Luz, who’s literally far more engaging and original than him?

Definitely not weird--that's just your own character preference, dude. Like I love him, but I don't tend to have a lot of Thoughts about him that aren't connected to Philip and/or Caleb. He's just a good boy, that's about how I feel about him.

I definitely don't think he should've been the main character, nor do I wish he was in season 1. I think his arc's been written extremely well with the time he was given, and while I do think he's a taaaaad overhyped, he's literally a peak Fandom Character, so that fame was always going to happen. I was expecting it from the start.

At the end of the day, you're never weird for enjoying and not-enjoying characters that the fandom does. You intake content for yourself, not anybody else.

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:

"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"

My family watches Wheel of Fortune some - most? - nights when dinner coincides with it. I grew up with many fond memories of spending the night with one of my grandmothers, and after a day of her explaining her incomprehensible Stories as we watched I don't know how many soap operas, we'd watch Wheel together and I'd be awed by her skills.

Nowadays it's me and my folks loudly commenting - we're truly terrible backseat drivers with VERY strong opinions about strategy that might well not hold up under actual competitive conditions, and we're aware of that, but it sure doesn't stop us yelling in derision every time someone picks the "Thing" category.

Last season was the host's last - Pat Sejak's retired, which given some health scares, is totally understandable. Tonight was Ryan Seacrest's first on the job, and...

well...

We were all underwhelmed. I loathe the new set - not that it's the first time that's happened - and some of the new style of camera angles are disconcerting and not what I'd prefer, though that might all just be Not Liking Change. The part that stood out to all of us, however, was Seacrest just did not vibe well. He seemed uncomfortable, a little too handsy not in a "LAWSUIT!" kinda way just a "dude back off please personal space!" kinda way, a bit too try hard and self-conscious of the failures. Watching him snap into a WILDLY more comfortable persona in the last 5 seconds when he went from "ZOMG I am hosting WHEEL o_o" to "Ah, promo-ing a thing for the network, I can do this in my sleep!" was astonishing.

I keep reminding myself it's his first night. I keep reminding myself that he's now responsible for Wheel and its 45+ seasons of history. I keep reminding myself he's trying to step into the shoes but not replace the former weatherman we've all had in our living rooms for freakin' DECADES, and that's a HELL of a steep learning curve.

I also keep thinking about Sam Reich putting his friends through increasingly complicated and deranged Shenanigans for our amusement WITHOUT a shred of that awkwardness, and all I can think is "skill issue."
