Just wanted to let you know that after our discussion on s7,I looked up on YouTube and found this one interview that had Plec,King,Neil and Melinda talking about the season.And I laughed because what they said and what happened was so so different.This proves, yet again, that what writers say in interviews are either lies or they mostly make up sh** to bait and switch.I mean we already knew julie wasn't involved in that season but she straight-up made up a scene where Caroline wasn't ready to leave Stefan behind when Stefan's life was in danger.And Neil said they knew going from s6 that the long arc of s7 would be about Damon-Bonnie and Stefan-Caroline.I don't remember Bamon and Bonnie getting importance at all except the first few episodes and the last few episodes although most of that was happening in Enzo's presence.The only two things that remained constant were Plec blaming Candice for getting pregnant and Dries for the flash forwards.Unbelievable!

Oh Anon I had no idea they did hour long podcasts for each season a few years ago until this! I've seen snippets of the clips on Twitter but I didn't realize it was a whole series. So I watched it and I actually felt like it validated my theory that Dries was behind so much of the S7 fuckery. There's a part where Julie says she can't do "math" storylines and that Dries whole pitch about the FF involved that so that's why she stepped away from the plotting of that. Makes sense Dries would use that to be like "oh don't worry I got this whole plan it's gonna be great" and Julie believed her until she started seeing the finished episodes (while they aired apparently *sigh*) and was like WTF. I feel like Neil and Melinda were talking about what they thought the season was going to be about with continuing the arc but then Dries derailed that.

I mean Neil's episodes had good Bonnie and Bamon in them (7x04 then later 7x21) so it makes sense he'd say that even if overall it wasn't a lot. That's because Dries hates Bonnie and I remember her being so rude to Kat at SDCC before that season aired when Kat was talking about how fans liked Bamon. Julie hates it too but at she'll at least give importance to their friendship, Dries does everything in her power to exclude it. Julie also said how Stefan and Caroline's storyline changed once Candice told them she was pregnant. I thought there was going to be way more Lily/Caroline/Stefan in S7 especially in regards to vampirism/ripper-dom but instead Valerie got inserted there. I remember how in 7x01 Valerie has straight light brown hair and then it becomes curlier and blonder as the season progresses and I know that was intentional.

I think the lazy development of Bonnie and Enzo falls on her too! I know a lot of people like them but I just find them so basic, I never like ships with so little build-up like that. They also talked about how they had to connect the FF with the current episode and I feel like that caused BS too like Stefan burning the car and needing to say in the present "do whatever you want but do not touch my car" was a jab at SC because Lily was holding Caroline captive.

Edited to add: OMG there was a lot sorry, I don't know what Julie was talking about with the motel scene and Candice seemed to confuse it with the scene in 7x12(I think?) when Matt saved her in news studio but, Neil was the only one who knew what he was talking about there. He summed up the 7x21 scene as at first how Stefan didn't respect Caroline's choice (TO DIE FFS) by being caveman-y but then they talked it out and why he did it. But that scene has wayyyy more nuance to it in the overall character of Stefan that can't be explained in a podcast setting like that.

#anon for ts #S7 therapy #it just all comes back to dries imo #I love that 7x21 scene #and how much fandom doesn't understand it lol #and thinks it means stefan respecting elena's choices and not carolines #LMAO #'respecting the woman he loves choice TO DIE'#it's a performance stefan - it sure is caroline

Skipped from TVD S3 straight to s6 & Holy shit! That was the Renaissance of TVD.I don't think I have enjoyed any season of Vampire Diaries like I did s6 after s2 and in my mind,they both get the top rank in the list of best to worst.Then,I thought why not give season s7 a chance.This was the first time I rewatched this season since it aired back when TVD was on and now I am most certainly questioning my life choices.🥲Honestly,how did we sit through such abysmal writing for 8 months or so?Were we sired?After the first episode,it felt like someone made me shut my eyes with the promise of feeding oysters only to point and scream "I just ejaculated in your mouth! HA! HA!" Anyway,there are a few things,specific to Caroline Forbes, that I picked up along the way:

1.Candice (& real life pregnancy)and Caroline Forbes-surrogacy: Keeping the non-consensual,gross aspect of the otherwise outlandish plot aside,I do believe with right motivation and willingness,writers could have easily worked around CA's pregnancy and given emotionally intimate scenes to SC that would have made their relationship layered and deeper.They simply chose NOT to. In fact, I noticed how they didn't use Candice at all not just in terms of her relation with Stefan but with regards to the whole Al**ick thing.Writers simply didn't create any compelling narrative that could convince anyone that Caroline was at all interested in pursuing anything with Ric that eventually led to an engagement. In fact, their sloppy attempt to sell motherhood and biology by giving two glimpses of Caroline's apparent growing attachment with the kids implied she saw the twins as an obligation in addition to her considering Ric as incapable of handling two newborns, leading her to Dallas, which basically served the bigger purpose:write CA out for her Maternity Leave. Post time jump,they could have easily removed her from this dynamic and put her with Liam or me and that wouldn't have changed nothing.Once again, they chose not to SHOW and simply explained the engagement as a decision of a heartbroken,abandoned woman by TELLING.I wonder what they would have done with her if TVD hadn't been renewed.Crossover to TO for ratings ploy?

2.Flash Forwards: I have nothing to say about this narrative disaster but I do think they changed their initial plans with respect to the FFs because CA did an interview where she said writers told her they were going three years in the future,right before she left for her ML,so that Caroline wouldn't have to be pregnant anymore AFTER candice came back from her leave.Does that mean they were originally going to go only a few months ahead in time but cancellation jitters made them change track?Guess,we will never know.

3.Future-Caroline character assessment : Plot contrivance aside, Caroline role-playing a doting mother and devoted wife-to-be & her happiness in the seemingly new life she built for herself is a metaphor for her being a victim of prolonged violence(physical and psychological).She was incapable of feeling anything anymore.She was in a wild state of depersonalisation and derealisation.She was an absolute victim.She just didn't care.She was putting up a class-act in that creepy arrangement but hey,as long as Caroline's "bold decision"(in JP's book) ensured M.Davis's employment,we are all good.

LMAO. Oh, yeah, I remember the whiplash of watching season 7 after season 6. Season 6 was one of the strongest seasons. Steroline was written well, we finally got Bamon, and Caroline had a touching story arc having to deal with her mother’s death. Season 7 on the other hand is in the running as the worst seasons.

I agree with your assessment of Ric and Caroline's relationship in season 7. It was awful. Having Caroline become the twins' surrogate is one thing – having her become their primary caregiver BECAUSE Caroline didn’t trust Ric to parent the twins himself . . . that wasn’t Caroline being a control freak – RIC ALLOWED CAROLINE TO TAKE OVER HIS DUTIES AS A PARENT BECAUSE HE DIDN’T WANT TO DO IT HIMSELF*. There’s a name for this phenomenon: weaponized incompetence*

I don’t buy any defense of Ric’s actions here. Ric needed Caroline’s help! He was overwhelmed and didn’t know what he was doing! (1) Most first-time parents are overwhelmed because they lack experience. Parenting is on-the-job training. (2) Ric could have hired a professional nanny or an au pair to help take care of his kids. You know – paid someone to help take care of his kids. He didn’t. He was a selfish prick who took advantage of Caroline’s selfless and caring nature. He got a live-in nanny for free!

I hate that they turned Caroline – one of the strongest characters on the show – into Ric’s unpaid nanny. Ric and Caroline’s engagement was adding insult to injury.

I was so disappointed by the flash-forwards on TVD because I’d seen it done so well on The West Wing. Not that I was expecting TWW-level writing on TVD, but I did expect some level of competence.

*“Weaponized incompetence, also called strategic incompetence, is when someone knowingly or unknowingly demonstrates an inability to perform or master certain tasks, thereby leading others to take on more work.” [Psychology Today]

In the case of fics, I'm curious: don't you publish on ff net or ao3? For example, I find it a bit strange to do it here on Tumblr because I don't like to comment on tags but putting my comment on a reblog also seems rude and I feel like it breaks the aesthetic (and I saw several authors specifically say that they didn't like it when the people towards that but once again: where should I leave my comment?). Is it better to let you know that we liked it by stuffing your question box? 2/2

Hey! So a couple of things:

(and I saw several authors specifically say that they didn't like it when the people towards that but once again: where should I leave my comment?) For example, I find it a bit strange to do it here on Tumblr because I don't like to comment on tags but putting my comment on a reblog also seems rude

which honestly feels like a new phenomenon because it used to be like this:

combined with anons sending asks. And the Stelena fandom were always much more stingy with doing that than say the Bonkai fandom but it would still be

combined with anons sending asks and having conversations/asking questions about the different parts of my fics but which has now kind of just turned into "that was nice, do this next".

In the case of fics, I'm curious: don't you publish on ff net or ao3?

With this, I do post on ao3 and when it's my Jonsa fic, sure, absolutely I get comments, it's not huge but it's fairly consistent especially since I haven't updated in a year

if it's a TVD especially a Stelena fic? It's worse than here. Three fic series combined don't even make up half of what a single Jonsa series generates.

and I have to delete comments like that Bamon person who said that ao3 was for Bamon and not Stelena (lmao weird).

I publish on tumblr first because tumblr is how I started writing ff and this is where I actually have a community of people asking me for updates or asking for things and then engagement is fairly low when I do it, and I don't just mean notes. So I would like asks about the fics to continue, it would just also be great if the amount of notes reflected the apparent level of interest :)

"You do whatever you want, don't you?" She says, surprisingly calm after he's yanked her arm away from her date like he's caught her cheating. They're in the ladies' room and his brain is shooting spirals of rage up his spine. "Whatever Damon wants, Damon gets."

She's so wrong.

The dress she wears is tight in all the right areas but she throws a linen jacket over it because she won't allow herself to be sexy for once. It's better if she gives herself the illusion of a choice, as if she's confident enough to be so bold. It will take more than champagne for her to remove it. So uncomfortable in skin she's lived in for over two decades. Prudent and modest. You can't fuck me, you must fuck my mind.

"But god forbid, I get to know someone else who isn't you. It can't always be you, Damon. My life can't revolve around you, Damon."

Again, she's so wrong.

Bonnie doesn't even have the heart to sell these lines, did someone write these for you? he wants to ask.

But she's talking to herself more than she's talking to him. Convincing herself that she must quit him.

Damon will give her what she says she wants. He'll play along, become docile, hit the ping pong light enough that she won't have to go crawling around for it under the table with her ass in the air.

"You know what, you're right."

Her eyes widen in surprise.

"I'll try not to be as overprotective when it comes to you." Damon rubs the back of his neck, uneasily. "Sometimes I react first, it's like I can't help it… that's not fair." He straightens out her jacket from where he's grabbed her up. Dusts her shoulders to erase any signs of himself, so she can properly focus on that guy with his fists balled up in his lap.

Damon is behind her reflection in the mirror with his hands on her shoulders encouragingly, "you should lose the jacket." He knows she won't listen. At least not while he's still there.

I tend to think I’m a pretty closed-off, standoffish person, especially when it comes to touch... and then I see what counts as gestures of platonic affection in a lot of american tv and think, you know what? I’m just fine.

#shoulder pats mean NOTHING #NOTHING i said #what are you supposed to do with that #if you're gonna hug someone do it properly ffs #i still remember the bamon reunion hug of 6x15 on tvd because it's one of the very few TRULY GOOD HUGS i remember seeing around lol #i'd actually say the plecverse is a little better than most in this respect lmao #they understood the assignment #talking to the void #my thoughts

Found (Part 2 of Does This Darkness Have A Name)

I know. It’s been a while. A LONG while. So long, in fact, that I sort of forget how to post fics on here, so this might be messy. But here it is. (read it on ao3 here) Chapter 2: Found

She can’t sleep without Damon.

The nightmares worsen, growing darker and more believable each day until Bonnie’s almost convinced that her dreams are reality and her freedom from Kai is something her mind has only made up to preserve the last shred of sanity she has left.

She eventually finds herself back at the boarding house, Miss Cuddles tucked under one arm, a pair of pajamas and all her toiletries in the bag hanging from her other wrist. Damon greets her with that eyebrow thing that he loves to do, and she can practically feel the wise cracks forming in his head, but he doesn’t say anything – just steps away from the entrance to give her space to come inside.

“Thank you.” She mumbles softly, the words wooden and tasteless in her mouth. It comes to her as a quiet afterthought that these are the only words she’s spoken today. He lifts one shoulder in a lazy half-shrug, pushing the wooden door shut behind him. She takes one of the guest rooms, the one she’d sort of inhabited during their time together on The Other Side. Stefan doesn’t ask any questions, only stops in to remind her that if she needs anything, anything at all, she shouldn’t be afraid to ask.

This has somehow become a place where she feels protected, safer than even her own home. And still, every time she closes her eyes, a world of terror is waiting to greet her.

The third night, instead of holding her while she sobs, waiting for her to cry herself back to sleep, Damon offers her his hand.

“Let’s go,” he says softly, his face hidden in the darkness, impossible to read. His hand hovers in front of her, palm up, waiting.

She doesn’t really have much left to lose, does she?

Taking his hand, Bonnie lets him pull her out of bed.

***

“You know,” Damon begins, facing away from her, head craned back to look up at the night sky. “I’m not exactly a stranger to torture.”

She’s not as flinchy as she’d been only a few days ago, but she can still feel the panic flaring up at just the mention of that word.

Torture.

Something about saying it reminds her of the act itself; the way it twists around in her mouth, contorts to make the right sound.

“And I know you’ve decided to take some kind of lame-o vow of silence,” Damon continues, evidently unaware of her internal struggle, “which would, normally, make me unbelievably happy. But it’s kinda conflicting with the whole ‘I’m fine’ thing you had going earlier.”

He’s trying to rile her up, she knows this. She can hear it in his voice, the false bravado, the ‘could care less’ attitude he’s spent so many years trying – and failing – to perfect. But more than that, she can see it. It’s in the way he holds himself, leaning toward her even when he’s looking away, like he’s afraid she might collapse at any moment. It’s in the way he looks at her – and the way he doesn’t look at her. He thinks he can push her to some kind of breakthrough, but he’s afraid he might push her too far.

She wonders if reading Damon has always been this easy, or if it’s something she’s picked up over the last few months.

“I don’t want to talk about torture.” Bonnie says, finally, the word tasting like hot lava in her mouth. “I don’t want to talk about anything.”

If he’s surprised by her response, he doesn’t show it. He doesn’t even turn around; just keeps walking, hands tucked into the pockets of his jeans, perfectly at ease with the world.

“I can do all the talking. I happen to have a lovely voice.” It’s funny, though, that in some odd way he’s right. Hearing Damon’s voice again, Damon, of all people, makes her feel just a tiny bit safer. He reminds her of home, somehow. Maybe because, on the Other Side, he was her home, and that feeling hasn’t quite faded away yet.

But the panic, the fear, the pain – none of that has faded, either. It’s just there, in her head, in her chest, this feeling of helplessness that she can’t find an escape from.

They walk through the forest quietly for a few moments, the soft crunch of dirt and leaves under their feet filling the silence. She still doesn’t know where they’re going. She doesn’t really care.

“Do you know what I hate?” Damon asks, pushing open an old rod-iron fence with one hand and beckoning her through with the other, and then she realizes where they are, and there’s a tightness in her chest that makes it hard to breathe. “I hate when people try to make decisions for me. Drives me insane. Even more insane than normal – I know, hard to believe right?”

He glances at her, smug smile in place, but it doesn’t reach his eyes. Even in the darkness, that icy blue stare is impossible to miss.

“Why are we here?” She asks, her voice cracking. She swallows thickly, trying to push down the lump that’s forming in her throat. “I don’t want to be here, Damon.”

She doesn’t want to think about these things. The nightmares are bad enough – being here now will only make things worse.

“Bonnie,” he says softly, watching her with those piercing eyes, careful and hesitant and all of the things she doesn’t expect him to be, “Kai can’t hurt you anymore.”

Just his name is enough to make her stomach heave, her mouth run dry.

“I know I wasn’t there to protect you, and I can’t ever apologize enough for that. But I want you to know that I’m here now, and I’m not going anywhere.”

Her head is spinning, and it’s taking all of her energy to remind herself to breathe, just breathe. He’s still watching her, making no move to close the distance between them. She focuses on his eyes, bright blue gems glinting in the darkness, full of certainty and the promise of safety and warmth, and suddenly the world isn’t spinning anymore.

“So many bad things happened here,” she whispers into the silence, her eyes still fixed to his. “I can’t be here, Damon. Please.”

He takes a small step forward, then another, until he’s close enough that she can smell him, not just that ridiculous but somehow irresistible cologne, but him. It makes her feel safe, that smell, safe and warm and protected, even here in this place where she’s really none of those things. One of his cool hands slips into hers, tugging, first lightly then more insistently when she doesn’t move.

“Come on,” he mutters, half pulling, half dragging her through the darkness, her stubborn feet dragging miserably behind them. She stumbles and trips a few times, but he never lets her fall. Their hands stay firmly clasped. After what feels like an eternity, they stop, and she takes a hesitant peak around. The mausoleum is a familiar one, as are the headstones littering the area.

Damon pulls her so that she’s standing right next to him, their shoulders brushing. His hand still clutches hers. “Look,” he says, pointing with his free hand, “that’s where I found Miss Cuddles.”

She knows what he’s trying to do, but it’s not going to work. Nothing is going to work.

“Damon –“

“Do you know,” he continues, ignoring her attempted interruption, “I thought about giving up on you. I thought maybe you were dead, that there was no way to bring you back.” He gestures behind them now, the hand clutching hers tightening almost painfully. “I sat on that fucking rock, with a bottle of whatever alcoholic beverage seemed appropriate, and said goodbye to you.” He laughs then, a twisted, broken sound, his face turned away from her. “And then, there she was. That stupid stuffed bear. And just like that, I knew, I knew what a coward I had been. You were fighting or every breath, struggling to come back to us, and I was ready to just fucking let you go.”

Her fingers are starting to go numb, but she doesn’t say anything. She’s seen many different sides to Damon, but this… This is different. She doesn’t know what she’s supposed to do for this Damon.

“Don’t you get it yet?” His voice is low, a rough whisper, and when he turns to face her Bonnie’s shocked to see tears in his eyes. “You never gave up. Not on me, not on any of our friends, not on yourself.” He lets go of her hand, blessedly, the blood stinging her fingers as it rushes through them. His hands instead go to her shoulders, squeezing gently. “So I don’t care how long it takes, or what I have to do. I’m not giving up on you, Bonnie. Not this time. Not ever again.”

They stare at each other, his hands resting firmly on her shoulders, his face damp with tears. His eyes burn into hers, so bright and so blue it makes her heart ache. He’s so full of hope, she thinks, and it hurts to look at him. It hurts to know that hope is so tragically misplaced.

She closes her eyes, shutting him out, shutting it all out.

“I’m broken.” She whispers, her throat raw, the ache in her chest growing with every word. “I’m broken, Damon, and you can’t fix me.”

“So what?”

It’s a response she isn’t expecting. She opens her eyes again, staring at his defiant, incredulous expression.

“We’re all a little cracked, in case you haven’t noticed.” His hands leave her shoulders slowly, skirting softly up her neck until they’re cradling her face. He brushes her cheek lightly with his thumb, his other hand moving to gently brush her hair out of her face. “I’m not trying to fix you, or make you perfect.”

His hand continues to caress her face, soothing circles drawn gently into her skin, the only thing that’s holding her together.

“The things you’ve been through… I can’t even imagine the pain you’ve felt. But you survived them, Bonnie. You’re a fighter. A survivor. Yeah, you came back with some battle scars, some serious fucking issues. But you came back.” Damon closed the little distance left between them, pressing his forehead against hers, his breath blowing against her face in short gasps. “Don’t give up now, not on yourself.”

“I don’t know what to do.” Bonnie says, tears silently streaming down her face, the ache in her chest threatening to burst. “I don’t know how to make this pain go away.” She slaps a hand to her chest, clawing at her shirt, desperate to get it out of her. “I can’t make it stop,” She gasps, and then she’s sobbing again, deep, shaking wails that render her completely useless. Damon pulls her into him, cradling her gently to the ground, letting her scream and cry and until there’s no air left in her lungs, and she pauses to suck in great bouts of air and starts the process all over again.

She feels it pouring out of her, the grief, the pain, the rage. The tightness in her chest bursts, and it’s like a never ending fountain of emotion streaming out of her, and he bears it all.

“It’s okay,” She hears him murmuring softly, one arm rubbing soothing circles into her back as she sobs, “it’s okay. You’re okay.” It only makes her cry harder.

She cries for her Grams. She cries for her Dad. She cries for Caroline and Elena, who never asked to be what they are, but managed to embrace what life had chosen to give them. She cries for Stefan, for his endless crusade to be good. She cries for Damon. She cries for herself. She cries for her lost innocence, for the life she could have had. She cries for the sacrifices she’s had to make. She cries for all the times she was beaten and broken and defeated. She cries for every time she got back up again.

She cries, for a long, long time.

When she’s done, when there are no more tears left inside her to shed, when the pain in her chest dims to a low, dull ache, she looks up at Damon, whose arms have kept her warm and safe and sheltered. She looks up at him, and for the first time in a long time, she smiles.

Not perfect, she thinks, or fixed or beautiful. Just something whole.

Fin.

More Salty asks 👀

18, 21, 5, 4, 3, 7, 10.

ty <3

So sorry it took me so long to answer anon but here's the salt you've asked for

18. Does not shipping something ‘popular’ mean you’re in denial and/or biased?

God no, wtf kind of logic is that, you can or not do something, as in shipping, or stanning or being an anti, for literally ANY reason including no reason, I repeat, you dont need a single fucking reason, much less a "valid" one, there is literally nothing called a valid reason when it comes to fandom bc all reasons are valid at the end of the day, since it's ffs JUST fiction. If you dont ship/stan something popular good for you, hang out w your rare pairs and fall in love w your minor characters, you want to write terrible fucking incoherent anti-metas about a character that's very popular, go ahead DO IT, literally nothing should stop you, it is not problematic to HATE an objectively good character w absolutely no reason, it's not problematic to LOVE a scumbag character for the shallowest reason, it's not problematic to condone evil acts done by your fav character and praise them and love them for it, it is not problematic to want a character killed simply bc they mildly grate you, it is not problematic to do or feel anything about a character as long as your aware that this character or ship cannot be removed from their fictional world and you are simply judging a fictional object who's actions and principles are bound to the fictional world they exist in and cannot in any way affect the real world beyond the value of entertainment.

--also completely tangential side note but if anybody thinks the depravities or deplorable actions explored in a fictional work can in anyway enable real life people who have consumed such media, to do and/or consider the same, I would politely suggest you to restrain from projecting your grossly malleable mind that's clearly more impressionable the wet stinking cement on to others, bc believe it or not most of us have this innate ability to not only separate fiction from reality, but also pick and choose what media we consume is allowed to influence us in addition to entertaining us--

But back to the point, my answer to that question is no, you are not biased, you are not in denial, you simply choose not to invest your time and energy and mindspace into this one fictional being or couple and that is just about the most valid thing as any.

21.What are your thoughts on crack ships?

absolutely love them, I really wish there are more absolutely WILD ships that have no logical reasoning behind them to exist in the fandoms I am part of.

5.Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?*

Nope. although it has made a ship I was already mildly averse to even more worse in my eyes, but I dont think that counts.

4.Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?

Yep and it's a LIST, let's see Steroline, Bamon, Klayley, Klamille, Marbekah, I HATE KOLVINA.

And yeah that's about it, don't get me wrong I dont like many ships and need to click off ff if they are a part of it as a side pairing, but these are the ones I loathe w a passion bc one half of the ship is a character I absolutely LOVE and the other half is just the GREATEST disservice done to said characters,

For steroline- I wish stefan was never fished out from the bottom of that lake.

Bamon- Damon can get his dick skinned.

Klayley- Klaus is a fucking cockroach I agree. but Hayley good god is not helping the situation at all. Same for Klamille.

Marbekah-it's incest yall first of all, and second Rebekah deserves a man who fucking chooses her EVERYTIME and not just once when it's convenient for him.

Kolvina: I-I-do I even need to elaborate?? THE DISSERVICE DONE TO KOL. Christ. I am sorry but this ship I truly hate w a passion too strong for me to even bother playing it cool.

3. Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?

Nope. But I do block that specific tag/content so that when they post about the specific topic we disagree on I am not able to see it, CURATE YOUR FANDOM EXPERIENCE ALWAYS THANKS, and also having shitty shipping opinions is the last thing you can do to get me fired up and stop talking to you, my bff is both a steroline shipper and a Kolvina shipper, but she's my ride or die, like fandom opinions and thoughts on a fictional character amount to literally NOTHING in real life, and I really hope people understand that, but also at the same time in tumblr specifically, if a blog you follow posts anti-posts about your fav character or something like that absolutely unfollow them if you are not comfortable seeing it? following them to engage in fandom discourse is not something I personally would ever do, but as long both the parties involved are interested in discourse i see no harm, but if youre not willing to engage or even see such content ma'am wtf is it even doing on your dash UNFOLLOW and block the tag please.

7. Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?

oh lmao I wouldnt have been able to understand this question yesterday, but like today I was again hunting scenes for gifs, and I found that Marcel actually holds no appeal to me, in fact, If Elijah decided to slap his head off, I wouldnt have minded at all. Also I was a forwood shipper at the time but now I look at them and have this inexplicable urge to scratch something.

10. Most disliked arc? Why?

Redemption arcs, jfc I HATE THEM, mostly bc my ability to perceive villains shuttles between two distinct opposites, "They are depraved, and evil and everything wrong in this world and I LOVE THEM." or "They are depraved and evil and everything wrong in the world and I HATE THEM" there is literally no in between, so in the first case I love them precisely because they are the scourge of the earth, and a redemption arc [not that I've ever seen one done even mildly ok-ish for the characters to actually redeem them] will literally work to unfuck their fuckiness that I absolutely ADORE. So no I do not want redemption arcs for them at all, and on the flip side when I hate an evil character the only redemption I will accept is them being of good use to the maggots that feast on their dead rotten corpse.

This is the ask
