I got thinking too much about Marwa from What We Do in the Shadows again and how she was canonically making observations of Jupiter and Saturn in the 1200s. Then I thought about how Elena took Damon to go watch a meteor shower, and I decided that Marwa and Elena should get away from all the vampire drama B.S. in their lives and go nerd out about astronomy together, and this moodboard sort of happened. I also thought about how Elena becomes a doctor and went ah, they are both women in STEM! So I ran with that as a theme too.

But yeah, Marwa needs a friend who will actually support her interests and engage with her intellectually (no shade to Nadja and the Guide, I'm glad they had a fun weekend watching Mamma Mia together which was literally the only time we got to actually see Marwa happy onscreen, but they have never demonstrated much interest in science that I can recall and I want Marwa to have an astronomy buddy), and I think Elena would be fascinated by her and her perspectives on astronomy from centuries ago, and they could learn about modern astronomical advances together. If I find the time and energy I might even write fic about it, but for now, here is a moodboard so that we can all bask in the vibes of my beautiful crossover vision together.

#Elena Gilbert #Marwa wwdits #Marwa/Elena #Marlena #Marwalena #I'm not necessarily viewing this as a romantic ship but I'm also not not viewing it as one. take it either way as it pleases you #rowing the rarepair rowboat #(thank you freddieslater for letting me use that tag that's such a good tag)#the Vampire Diaries #What We Do in the Shadows #Marwa the Relentless #at first I didn't want to call her that because Nandor is such garbage to her. not even garbage. he hollows her out and destroys her soul #but I like the idea that she is also relentless in her own way. if only insomuch as she survived him. which really she didn't #the more I think about what happened to Marwa the more I feel like she endured the worst fate imaginable. I mean what Nandor did to her was #really so much more evil than any of the compulsion we see in Vampire Diaries because I mean he completely erased everything that made her #who she was. He chipped away at her personality and her sense of self bit by bit until he literally deleted anything recognizable as Marwa #from existence. I need to scream about it.#and the only scene with her smiling is the one I took that screenshot from. The only. Scene.#anyways I'm so glad she's fine now & having fun showing Elena cool telescopes and telling her about all of Jupiter's moons &how to see them #I love astronomy so if somebody on TV mentions liking astronomy I become bonded for life with them. lol #TVD rarepair rowboat #WWDITS #not to be anti-wwdits; I do love Nandermo. but they did Marwa so dirty #Justice for Marwa!#astronomy moodboard #I made this weeks ago but I got so busy with the play but now the play is over and I went 'hey remember that moodboard you should post it'#so here it be :)#it's not the best moodboard I've ever made but I made it in a passionate fervor of feminist energy and I like it
