So I didn't know if I wanted Jack to be somewhat friendly looking or big scary clown monster

So have both!

We knew each other, it was as if each could see the other one's soul. Once you see into someone's soul, you're attached forever.

Have you read the vampire diaries books? And if you have what do you feel about the changes they made when making the show?

sadly I won’t be able to answer this very well considering im only on the 5th book in the series and I love it so much haha

I wasn’t a super fan before the show came out and i watched the show before then I read the books so I don’t have much of an opinion on it, im not like “omg why is the town called mystic falls and not fells church?!” but because I watched the show before reading the books im was more like: “omg that’s weird that it’s called fells church and not mystic falls” haha

it was also weird to me when I read the high school name, “Robert E. Lee High School” EHH? it’s not Timberwolves?! 😭

also can we talk about how Meredith wasn’t an actual character in the show??! it’s Elena, Bonnie and Caroline Not Elena, Bonnie and Meredith?! I love her character in the books and it would’ve been so cool to see Meredith in the show too!!

I find the last names weird too:

- Vickie Bennett?

- Bonnie McCullough?

- Matt Honeycutt?

- Tyler Smallwood?

why did the writers change their names in the show?

elena having a little baby sister called Margaret and an aunt called aunt Judith? 😭

Matt and Vicki not being siblings in the books 🤷‍♀️ also I love. Matts character they definitely should’ve developed it more in the show fr

the writers also changed the fact Stefan and Damon can transform with their vampire powers, like Damon is a crow (but then they got rid of that after the pilot?) and stefans an eagle? or some sort of dog? I can’t remember lol but they took that out? also I was thrown off by Stefans appearance in the books, it’s so different to the show “curly black hair, and deep green eyes, and he was originally born in Italy in the year 1490 but they changed his origin in the show to mystic falls 1846.

elenas angel white power, she should’ve stuck with it in the show but they turned her into a damsel in distress icl 🤷‍♀️

The vampiric and witch power to send thoughts to eachother, like a calling power or something? That would’ve been cool to keep ln the show.

Mrs. flowers (the witch who owns the boarding house in fells church) instead she’s just a bed in breakfast hotel owner in the show, but to be fair I think I like the idea better of the salvatores owning the boarding house.

+ im only on book 5 and Damon and Bonnie have kissed a few times and I think Damon has a soft spot for her so I hope they get together (I heard they do but still, wishful thinking 🤪)

also im hating the malach right now and Shinichi or whatever so im glad that doesn’t happen in the show 😭

+ HEAVY on the anger I feel because they didn’t add Meredith to the show 🤨

Also can i politely ask that no one gives any spoilers to the books? Im still reading it. Thank you 🩷

when your card declines at therapy and they bring up this scene from chapter seven of the kill:

“Couldn’t you just have come and asked?” she murmured.

She’d said the same thing to him in the tower of the paper house. Didn’t that ever occur to you? That you could just appear at my front door, no games, no threats, and just ask me? But in the tower the words had been part of a ruse to get free, and she hadn’t really thought about them herself.

Now she did. What if Julian had come to her, appearing some night out of the shadows while she was walking home, say, and told her that he loved her? What would she have done?

She would have been afraid. Yes. But after the fear? If Julian had come, offering gifts, gentle, looking as vulnerable as he did now?

and the way julian brain goes absolutely haywire when she asks him basically the same question at chapter fourteen of the hunter because he’s an absolute loser and didn’t actually think about that?

Jenny took a deep breath. “I probably would have come to you a lot earlier if you’d just straight out asked me. Didn’t that ever occur to you? That you could just appear at my front door, no games, no threats, and just ask me?”

He looked disconcerted. “Not exactly. . .”

“You’re too cynical. Do you know, I think the way you look at things has made you blind. You’ve gotten so hardened that you think you have to fight the universe to get what you want. To—sort of wrestle it out of people.”

“And—don’t I?”

“Not always,” Jenny said. Meeting his gaze directly, she said, “Sometimes there’s a much simpler solution. There are some things you can’t force, Julian, and you can’t buy them, either. They have to be given, for free. That’s what I want to give you.”

His fascination was complete.
