My TVD opinions

Disclaimer: These are all my opinions on this show in no particular order.I will add on more whenever I feel like it.

While these statements could be read as facts, they are, in fact, solely my opinions based on how I interpreted what I saw on the show. I don't claim to be inherently right about any of these things.

If you want me to elaborate on any of these things, please let me know.

The good brother/bad brother dynamic was awesome in the beginning as the show slowly deconstructed it in an entertaining and thoughtful way (the good brother turned out to be a bloodthirsty sadist and the bad brother had a stereotypically softer side to him), but lost its appeal when the show refused to permanently let it go.

2. Caroline and Matt are both at fault for the decline of their relationship. Matt entered the relationship despite still being in love with Elena, but Caroline knew of his feelings as well and still pursued Matt.

3. On that note, Caroline was attracted to Matt because of his status as the popular jock and Elena's boyfriend. Getting him to love her would have made her feel triumphant over Elena and that's what she longed to feel for the longest time.

4. Throughout the show, the most important thing to Caroline was male validation.

5. 'Elena should've remained single at the end of the show' or 'Elena should've stayed alone to properly grieve' are hypocritical statements considering that plenty fans (mostly Bonnie and Caroline fans) consider it a bad thing that their faves ended up with no man at the end of the show.

6. The writers should've left the concept of the 'ripper' as something akin to the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde dynamic instead of the hereditary disease it became in the later seasons, thus ridding Stefan of any and all responsibility for his actions.

7. Caroline only managed to be good friends with Bonnie because she was never jealous of her.

8. Elijah, though always a monster even in TVD, was a lot more self-reflective and more than capable of leaving his family behind for extended periods of time. In short, very different from his co-dependent mess of a character on The Originals.

9. Bonnie and her mother not attending the Mikaelson ball makes sense. Why would Esther invite the reason she walks the earth to a ball where they can likely be killed and, in turn, take Esther back to the land of the dead as well?

10. Also, Bonnie not attending wouldn't have been an issue at all if the writers hadn't forcefully inserted Caroline and Matt into that plotline as well.

11. Elena did nobody a favour when she chose Stefan in s3 despite the fact that she clearly had existing feelings for Damon at the time. I understand she was afraid of what committing to Damon would've meant and saw Stefan as the 'safer' option for her self-image, but it would've saved these three a lot of pain if she had been honest with herself.

12. Katherine loved that Stefan loved a version of herself that she wished to be and she loved that Damon loved her despite knowing her bad traits as well.

13. Stefan had a too idealistic and ultimately wrong idea of both Katherine and Elena (the poor orphan girl from Atlanta/Virginia).

14. Stefan used Elena as a way to deal with the trauma resulting of his relationship he shared with Katherine.

15. Klaroline, at least how it played out on TVD, made sense.

16. One of the reasons people notice that Delena is toxic is because the show cannot stop mentioning it.

17. Another reason is that it's one of the few relationships that go beyond the courting stage. We rarely see relationships reach a level of domesticity that would reveal their domestic toxicity/incompatability.

18. Edward Cullen is morally better than Stefan. When he considered himself a bad influence on Bella he did everything in his power to stay away. Stefan however put himself in all of Elena's classes and witheld vital informatiom from her.

19. Finn Mikaelson did nothing wrong on his time on TVD. He was also the true outsider of his family, not Kol.

20. Rebekah was the one who set the hostile tone for her relationship with Elena with her actions when they first met. Like, she is violent and jealous and the next day she wants Elena to be her high school bestie?!

21. Elena was right to dagger Rebekah the day of prom. She would've interfered with their plan (which is something that Bonnie warned them of, so if anyone wants to blame Elena for daggering Bex here, put equal blame on Bonnie for putting that idea in her head; also the Salvatores were in favor of that idea as well so don't let them off the hook!)

22. Klaus may have needed Elijah more, but it was Rebekah he loved the most.

23. There are no good parents on this show.

24. If Bonnie had to have a toxic evil love interest, it should've been Kai. He had no romantic interest in anyone before or outside of her, he was no more or less evil than any other male villain and he was hella popular among the fans (because putting Bonnie with an evil love interest is only valid for the fans if the guy is popular). And with Kai being a witch, Bonnie could've explored her magic more.

25. Bonnie's fashion was among the more realistic for her finacial situation. Same goes for Matt.

26. Matt and Rebekah spending a summer together makes little sense considering the fact that just months ago she was almost responsible for his death.

27. Kol's death was approved by everyone in the MFG which makes everyone of them liable for his death, not just Elena and Jeremy. The former is even more often cited to have killed Kol despite the fact that Jer dealt the killing blow. Wtf?

28. The only reason people cared about Kol's death was the fact that Klaus shared a few tears.

29. There was NO reason to keep Finn daggered. He was not boring or against vampirism at the time of his daggering. He was in a happy relationship with the love of his life who he turned to spend etetnity eith her. THAT is the real reason he stayed daggered. They all envied him for his happiness!!!

30. Elijah being sad for Elena losing her brother when she had a hand in killing one of his makes sense if you keep in mind that he acknowledges that she has every right to kill Kol when he was the one who went after her family first!

31. Katherine losing all her loved ones at once and her subsequent behaviour does not make her a badass survivor but an emotionally crippled, paranoid and egotistcal little girl. Not letting people into her life and her heart is not badass, it's a sign of untreated trauma.

32. Katherine did not make Caroline better by turning her into a vampire. Caroline turned a bad situation around and made the best of it and I refuse to give Kat credit for something she had no part in.

33. Every character exhibits hypocritical and/or flawed behaviour on the show. Even the "good" ones.

34. Esther wanting to kill all vampires in the world (and the Bennett family's involvement) is more accepted as morally right by the fandom than the Gilbert siblings and friends killing a single original and his sireline. And I wanna know why that is.

35. Some people complain that Bonnie's heritage as a Bennett witch should be more explored and claim that her heritage makes her very important (both things I wholeheartedly agree with), but in the same breath complain that the doppelgaenger/Petrova line is expanded waaaay too many times and Elena's heritage is not that important. Either heritage and its exploration matters to you as a whole or you only care about it when your fave is concerned (like a hypocrite).

36. Elena NOT switching brothers twice was a good thing.

37. Steroline was a good fit couple wise and were not ever sibling coded (so stop the sterocest bs)

38. Bamon should've happened before Damon expressed his sincere romantic interest in Elena. I know some people would've loved later season Bamon to show Bonnie's supposed superiority over Elena (they're equally awesome to me, hence the ' '), but this late it feels like she gets Elena's leftovers with how many times the writers made delena references.

39. Speaking of Bamon, their friendship was so badly written. They were on a good way to become friends, not besties, but good friends naturally, but instead they were forced into close proximity in a whole other dimension with only each other as company. It's like the writers needed them to be besties by the time Elena left the show and this was the best idea they had.

40. Stefan's feeding habits almost exclusively involve women in various states of undress and high school girls. Make of that what you will.

41. Amara was the true victim of the love triangle as I doubt that she had any social power compared to Silas and Qetsiyah. I'm not saying she and Silas were right to go behind Qetsiyah's back but I do question how much say Amara had in the matter.

42. Klaus doesn't like witches. That's canon since day one. He does enjoy using their powers for his gain and I guess their bodies for his pleasure but he has them kneel in front of him and (fanatically) do his bidding, so I really don't get why people claim that tthe writers got rid of his love for witches at some point. He never had any to begin with.

43. Giving Klaus a storyline on TO where he frees a slave (Marcel) when he enslaved a whole pack of werewolves on screen on TVD was incredibly tone deaf yet nobody talks about it.

44. When the writers want to make a bad guy sympathetic they amp up the physical abuse they endured (compare early Mikael and Guiseppe to the later seasons) and that's problematic because it implies emotional abuse is somehow not severe enough to be taken equally seriously.

45. Stefan could've easily broken Vicky's neck instead of killing her. There was no reason she had to die.

46. Matt is one of the few people who truly stay mostly positive and a decent person despite their upbringing and econocmic situation.

47. Jenna was a terrible legal guardian.

48. Elena's traveler magic could've been interesting if the writers made her ask Bonnie to teach her magic. It would've given the girls a reason to get closer again and explore magic as a whole.

49. Damon adopting Sage's method of finding pleasure in feeding was his way of coping with his disgust of being a vampire.

50. Throughout the first three seasons, Bonnie is the character with the most agency (when compared to Elena and Caroline.

51. The werewolves as a species were done extremely dirty after s2 ended.

52. Klaus never turning after the first time makes sense if we factor in that he was never socialized to accept this side of him, but it would've been nice to see his wolf side at least once (after all, a lot of people had to die for it to happen).

53. Klaus should've used Katherine in the sacrifice for the ritual. The irony of her being part of something she fled from centuries ago would've been a fitting 'punishment' in Klaus' eyes.

54. Damon loved Katherine more truthfully than Stefan because he saw her for what she truly was. He did the same with Elena.

55. Having all the guys on the show be into Elena (not even true but some people still say it was) can't be a bad thing if you advocate for the same to happen to your female fave.

56. Bonnie's prom dress was the most beautiful (I know people have different tastes but I even saw fans call that ugly...srsly wiwwy?!?!)

57. Tyler and Bonnie could've made a great couple, but I see nobody ever talk about it.

58. Forwood (and Mattoline too) gave Caroline the "villain love interest treatment". The ship's main purpose was to show her softer side and to endear her to the audience while she still remained mostly the same character with a few superficial ephemeral personality adjustments.

59. Katherine being allowed anywhere near Stefan in any kind of initmate way without it being shown to be wrong and disgusting is a crime. Daroline had the proper reactions (mostly) but Steferine had the writers go all "oh it's so romantic!!" (the nerve.)

60. Katherine taking over Elena's body after Elena forgave Katherine for all the things she did to hurt her made me think her beyond redemption in my eyes.

61. Katherine being a horrible mother to her child Nadia is not 'out of character' as some people claim.

62. I don't mind Stefan dying at the end of the show.

63. Caroline being magically impregnated is a horrrible plotline and she should've not become these kids' mother.

64. Jo should've lived. If anyone should've died it should've been Alaric.

65. Tyler should've had his own pack and Bonnie should've had her own coven by the end of the show.

66. Parkwood was a good relationship.

Most people,when it comes to Naruto x Sasuke,make Sasuke the more dominant one so how come you made Naruto the more dominant one in your fanarts?🤔(No hate or anything just rare to see someone make Naruto top Sasuke instead of Vice Versa)

Normally I don't reply to DMs here much, or I reply privately to non-anonymous ones. But i didn't want to skip this ! (maybe there are others who are curious about this question but hesitant to ask, idk)

Okay, you are both right and wrong. Yes because it's not a rare thing to see top Naruto bottom Sasuke. But on the other hand, it's perfectly normal for you to think like that, since almost 80% of narusasu artists are no longer active, or they rarely post new pieces. So, since I'm one of the few remaining narusasu artists, you wanted to ask why I keep drawing them like this, right?

Well… If you had asked me this question about two years ago, I'd probably be pissed about it! But i'm getting old too, my opinions can change, or i get tired more easily, give up more easily… So I will try to calmly explain my thought to all of you.

First of all, I've never asked anyone why you like this and don't like this. I strongly respect freedom of thought! But even so, I have my own thoughts too… I think the same way since I first saw naruto anime/manga. Naruto Uzumaki is the main character of this story! And I just don't like to see this boy in a "very" passive role… something like tremble, always cry like a baby, too skinny etc. Throughout the whole story, I got used to seeing him as a character who is physically and mentally strong, doesn't give up easily, and can keep smiling even in the worst situation. Oh, but don't get me wrong, I don't like to see Sasuke in a very passive role too! It feels like ooc…

I always try to draw them in their original style ! Sasuke has a much prettier face unlike Naruto (maybe his hairstyle has something to do with it, not sure) And I don't think he will take the easy step in a relationship, since he is a deep character and mostly hides his feelings. That's why I always look at their relationship more emotionally! I think Sasuke is a much more emotional character deep down in himself. But he just sees it as a weakness, so usually hides that side of him. I also always think that every artist adds a piece of themselves to the character they draws. And since I look at Naruto x Sasuke's relationship from the emotional side, Sasuke may be more passive to you from my pen, idk. Plus there are many more details and I'll also not go into mythological meanings, I mean sun&moon things (the answer is already long enough x)) Just when it comes to Naruto, Sasuke doesn't seems dominant to me. And yes i know Naruto often acts like he's stupid than Sasuke. But I also know that he's not stupid at all ! Being positive, warm, funny, caring doesn't make him any less of a dominant character. Or for Sasuke; being negative, cold, smart, arrogant doesn't make him a more dominant character. That's why I said a long time ago "why not both?" And this is also one of the reasons why I always put "sns" tag on my posts.

I mean, I'm mainly a narusasu artist yes but I don't hate sasunaru ! However, as I mentioned above, I don't like their ooc behavior (even if it's narusasu) But I've never asked anyone why you don't draw Naruto more dominant but Sasuke… 'Cause everyone is free to do what they like or enjoy! I'm so sure everyone has their own opinion about it. And although I don't agree with every opinion, I totally respect all of them!

Hmm… I'm not sure now if I answered your question as you expected. But thank you if you've read this far !
