1, 4, 5, 11 and 14 For the random ask game :)

1. if you could could introduce any two characters from any two fandoms to each other, who would they be, why, and how do you think the meeting would go

I think I’d want to introduce Max Evans from Roswell New Mexico and s5 Bellamy Blake to each other, because the amount of I’m tired with the world vibes these two got going on is hilarious. Plus they’re into the same books and stuff so I think they’d probably end up taking about that and complaining about their love lives.

4. if you could give any fictional character one piece of advice, who would it be and what would you say?

I think I would tell Clarke that I love her and she’s awesome but she needs to chill out and like talk about her feelings with everyone, because a good deal of s5 could have been avoided if everyone had been more upfront with their feelings/motivations and past actions. And I’d tell her to apologize to Madi because shocking her was definitely not a good move. After that, I’d say she needed one very long vacation.

5. fandom you’d totally be in if you’d just read/watched/listened to the damn thing?

As much as I make fun of it sometimes, The Vampire Diaries/Originals/Legacies. I watched the pilot for TVD a long time ago and I hated it, but lots of people tell me it gets better as time goes on but I just can’t make myself try it (not to mention I can’t watch it on any of the streaming services I have *damn you Canada*....maybe it’s on Hulu, I don’t have Hulu) Also The Runaways. I’ve been seeing a lot of it second hand and the premise sounds so amazing but again it’s not on any of the streaming services I have

11. show/movie that you want to watch but havent gotten around to?

I think The Runaways counts for this one too. I also needs to catch up on Game of Thrones, but I think I’m probably going to wait for the final season to air and watch it all in one go. As for movies, I really need to watch Bohemian Rhapsody, which I promised myself I’d go see and then didn’t because life.

14. most fun thing you’ve ever done for your birthday?

I don’t really celebrate my birthday much, though I did have friends over to drink for my 19th birthday (19 is the age we can drink in my province) so I guess that counts lol. Mostly I just watch tv/work on my birthday, I’m about the least exciting person I know. Though I have a story for the least fun thing, my birthday that just past I had an exam at 8am....it was also a Monday so yeah haha

Send me numbers and I’ll answer the question

#el corazon y la cabeza #thank you :)#i do ask memes now ask memes are cool #sometimes i scream into the void

after however many years I FINALLY CAUGHT UP on all episodes of The Vampire Diaries, and I saved my rambly opinions for the tags on this one line post, but then stupid tumblr stupidly cut me off so here I am, writing an actual post, mostly out of spite.

First and foremost, - I am still not over how much of a Delena person AND Damon Truther I have become over this rewatch and catch up, I was such a Stelena girl way back when. God knows what that says about the difference between teenage me and adult me...

- It’s stupid hard to finish off a TV Show well, especially when you have limited episodes left and the main character has left 2 seasons ago, but they actually did a surprisingly decent job. 8/10 I would say.

Here’s where my issues are though.

- John Gilbert cameo so unnecessary, I hated him, I still hate him, he doesn’t deserve redemption, don’t care.

Actually, I am mostly just mad at the John Gilbert thing, don’t really care about anything else dfghj.

No, okay, hang on, so.

- Grayson Gilbert, similar vibes, don’t care what kind of father he was, dude TORTURED people in his basement for years, do not care for him, even if it’s nice that Elena got reunited with her parents in death, full circle blah blah blah.

- We never got to see ANY glimpse of Damon being human, which would have been so good and such a beautiful moment, especially with them having kids or something, it would have been The Perfect Way to honour Stefan’s sacrifice for him, so a bit mad at that.

- They really did Nina dirty with some of those wigs not gonna lie.

- Speaking of Nina, I adore her for even coming back for the last episode, it’s so cool of her <3 Very appreciative of that, because it would have really sucked to not have her for the ending. On the other hand I wish this had been a longer season, so they could have introduced the idea of Katherine coming back sooner, like a looming threat, her sudden appearance without prior mention or clues felt rushed as fuck.

- Related to this, the last season was a tad bit too dark and suffer-y for my tastes (granted I binged it, which this show was NOT made for AT ALL - too busy, too many storylines, too heavy, marvellous cliff-hangers, needs to settle in for enjoyment) and I wish it had more filler type, funny episodes or even moments. They could have had so much more fun with Damon and Stefan teaming up, being bad guys, that was such a good set up, didn’t see nearly enough of it. Definitely not enough Damon and Bonnie bonding and best friending either, they established their relationship SO beautifully with prison world and then her not forgiving him, and then just spat all over that and swapped it for Enzo stuff. Which.

- Look, I love Enzo. A lot. But this whole romance thing with Bonnie came out of nowhere for me, and I never really warmed up to it. I don’t know if it’s because of the lack of Jeremy closure (MY HEART STILL ACHES) or what, but ugh. I wish, they’d done more Bonnie and Damon bonding, through which we could have had more Damon and Enzo bonding (a big thing for me, a very very big thing for me) and then through all that, I could have got more into the whole Benzo thing. But whatever, she’s travelling, he’s ghosting her, all good, happy for them.

- Speaking of friendship neglect - really could have used more Damon helping Alaric with the girls moments, being DEFENSIVE AS FUCK of the girls, because they are his best friend’s kids. Similarly, I would have loved more Damon and Caroline bonding over their love of Stefan and/or Bonnie moments. And I know there was a bit of that, but would have loved more.

- Tyler. Ugh. I was never fond of Tyler. I think I just never forgave him the outright fucking attempted rape of Vicki in the very first episode. Like I appreciated some of his character development and his storylines, and his whole thing with Liv killing for him, then him killing Liv, that was actually great writing. His death by Damon felt very cheap though, not enough consequences, not enough anything. It just kinda felt pointless. And then he finds peace, with Vicki, I guess? Or just watching Matt get his bench, while Vicki is standing in the vicinity? Dunno. Like I feel like it might have been an actor / show thing, and if it was I hope Michael Trevino was at least satisfied with that ending? I hope? I guess, despite my dislike for him, Tyler’s ending deserved better?

- Obviously all the cheesy parts were sufficiently cheesy, which we all hate, but TV writers get emotional too, I’m sure. And like, I did cry, so there is that. I teared up fairly early on I think, but the crying started with Damon compelling Stefan, that was wow. Just. Fuck. Telling him, he was the big brother ?? Holy shit.

- And I actually loved their endings. Stefan finally seeing something in his brother, doing the hero thing for him one more time, and getting his own happy ending: peace with his best friend. Lexi was so unexpected for me actually and made me very happy. Lexi always makes me very happy.

- Caroline telling Stefan she understood???? Wow. Another cry moment. In a way, they got their happy little wedding, but Stefan needed peace and closure after his long life of suffering and Caroline still had so much more to live for, so I am very at peace with their whole thing. I do love it that they got to get married though. Although, would have LOVED to see more of Stefan bonding with the babies stuff in the last couple episodes.

- Now plot nonsense-wise, Bonnie coming up with some random spell, all the Bennett witches appearing, very cathartic, but super convenient (plus really hated that Emily wasn’t there). But THEN she just casually figured out how to yadda yadda her way out of dying and being alive the same time as Elena again??? No thank you. That was such a meaningful storyline, they wrestled with it so much and I hated how it just WENT AWAY LIKE THAT. I wish they would have tied it to another sacrifice maybe, someone giving up something so that could be possible or whatever, maybe somehow Stefan gave his life for Elena’s or whatever.

- Now, Katherine being the final villain is a genius move, amazing stuff, even if it was a tad bit sudden. The way the necklace thing never went anywhere was a bit frustrating, and like she had zero past connection to Matt’s mum, they could have got a different character involved somehow, that made zero sense, but whatever, that should have been Vicki somehow, I think ???

- Actually, the whole Matt’s family reunion thing was very lost on me. Don’t care the slightest. The whole Maxwell Bell thing was very cool, giving Matt that purpose and background thing, but didn’t need the whole Dad Redemption all over it, reuniting Vicki with a father character we have never seen her with? Do not care at all.

- I wish wish wish, there would have been a moment of trickery where Stefan and Damon somehow played Katherine, tricking her into thinking that maybe they still cared about her. Maybe she could have somehow made Damon choose her or try to desperately seduce him one last time, ooh. Actually here it is: Katherine still arrogantly counts on Damon saving her, despite everything, calculating it into her plan, like she is SURE that Damon will always save her in the end, and that has to happen in order for her plane to work, and for a moment Damon makes her (and the audience) believe that he still has some flicker of love for her and there’s these flashbacks of how much he loved her, but then Damon betrays her, finally ridding himself of Katherine’s influence. Or something like that. That would have really hit the spot for me.

- The school thing’s great, clever set up for the spin-off thingy, very cheesy, but whatever. Jeremy being there, loved it, still mad at Steven R. McQueen for leaving the show (I mean not really, but you know) I hated how plothole-y Jeremy became and stuff, they should have killed him off instead or something.

- Klaroline has been a big thing for me, always, so that was fab as well.

- Stefan opening the door and Damon saying HELLO BROTHER, chef’s kiss. EXCEPT. It could have been Stefan’s room, the exact same position as the first time, and okay I know that’s Insanely Cheesy, but hear me out:

- Damon and Elena are happy, they have kids, Damon honours his brother’s sacrifice by living his human life to the fullest, he sometimes reads his brother’s journals, they have pictures of Stefan all over their place, Damon might glance at one, all nostalgic when he’s teaching the kids something or reading to them, in a ‘wish you could be here to see me do this, brother’ kind of way. Then. They are old and dying. No need for old people makeup, just show me old hands holding each other, hospital beds, whatever. It’s Damon who goes first, he’s now young again in the afterlife, he’s at his brother’s window. Stefan is writing in his journal, looks up, there is Damon. Hello, brother. Exact same as the very first time. Hug, tears, end scene. Elena meets Jenna and her parents (and John fucking Gilbert apparently) on the porch, it’s all very beautiful. There we go.

Okay, I think this is it from me, it’s 3am now and I basically started a rewrite, oops. I finished it, and I am SO glad I did, loved every minute of it, big emotions all over the place. Loved it as a teenager so much, very chuffed I got back into it <3 Loved them all lots. Except for John Gilbert, fuck him.
