gen z is trying to cancel cave johnson

[klaroveins]

Was it casual when he allowed her to drink his blood straight from the vein while she was dying?

Was it casual when he came all the way from New Orleans for her graduation in Mystic Falls?

Was it casual when he allowed Tyler Lockwood to come back to Mystic Falls even though he was in love with Caroline but understood she was in love with Tyler and only wanted her to be happy?

Was it casual when Tyler was her first love but he intended to be her last?

Was it casual when he offered to show her anywhere around the world, Paris, Rome and Tokyo?

Was it casual when he drew a beautiful picture of her even after she insulted him and didn’t give in to his charms easily?

Was it casual when he let his guard down with her considering he was a paranoid person and she hated him?

Was it casual when he constantly pursued her even when she hated him?

Was it casual when he sacrificed one of his Hybrids that he’d spent centuries working to create, just for a single date with her?

Was it casual when before his death, they shared one final kiss?

Was it casual when she believed he was worth being saved?

Was it casual when she always knew he was never the villain in her story?

NOTHING ABOUT KLAROLINE WAS CASUAL.

“You seem tired,” she says, and he wonders how she knows, how she’s right. Even as their joined hands palm her through her lace panties, she talks to him, her expression curious, gentle, cheeks red, lips redder. He thinks he could lay his head in her lap and go to sleep for a very long time. A raindrop lands on her nose, and he glances up to check that it really is rain, and not condensation or filth from the floors above, and a few more drops patter onto his face. “Let’s get a cab. Do you have a place around here?”

“I don’t know,” he mumbles eloquently, because the building across from the alley is a neon lit go-kart track and not the remnants of a vandalized laundromat. They wait for the cab under the bar’s awning. The one he walked into didn’t have an awning at all. When he looks at her, she smiles at him, a little soft, but appraising. She stands on her tiptoes to kiss his brand, one short peck. It makes him think oh, a very long oh that overtakes his thoughts as they duck into the shiny silver car.

A brief dip back into the philosophy of consciousness suggests a possible explanation. According to the neuroscientist and philosopher Antonio Damasio, our sense of self—that feeling that there is one “me” living this life in this body in this moment—is built firmly on our body’s implicit assessment of what it can handle. This is because, as we’ve already seen, the tissues of our bodies never, ever shut up. They constantly prattle on, like children in the back of a car, back and forth to each other and to and from the brain, commenting on how things are going on the inside. Part of the power of movement is that it allows us to change this commentary in the moment, which has an immediate impact on how we think and feel. But its effects can run even deeper than that. Any movement that makes both muscles and bones stronger can change the content of the commentary for the long haul. Moving in a way that makes us stronger can dramatically change our sense of who we are and what we can achieve in life.

CHAPTER 1: The Reckoning

— — — — — — — — — —

Summary: When Caroline wakes up from unconsciousness in an unfamiliar home, feeling intense emotion and with a new thirst for blood. She realises something is terribly wrong, until she hears that familiar accented voice call out to her.

(Basically a season 3 rewrite, except Caroline was a werewolf beforehand but Klaus turns Caroline into a hybrid instead of Tyler)

— — — — — — — — — —

Caroline’s golden curls were a disheveled and knotted mess, small splatters of blood tangled in the usually tamed strands of her hair. Her tresses were somewhat like a halo around her head, splayed out on the pillow she rested her head on.

She blinked her eyes steadily, adjusting to the unfamiliar surroundings. Her vision was still somewhat hazy; she had been unconscious. The last thing she remembered was having her neck snapped by Klaus, the evil man who had sought after her dear best friend Elena for his own selfish purposes– to use her in order to break the sun and the moon curse that had been placed on him over a millennium ago by his mother, Esther, the original witch.

Damon had been bitten by Tyler before the ritual. Werewolf venom was lethal to a vampire and always killed them; there had never been an official cure for it. You tended to accept your fate– that was until Klaus activated his werewolf side, becoming the first of his kind. The Original hybrid.

read my full review of welcome home, caroline kline by courtney preiss here.

A debut novel sparkling with wit and insight about a young woman whose reluctant return to her Jersey Shore hometown gives her the second chance she didn’t know she needed.

Caroline Kline isn’t ready to strike out.

In New York City, newly single Caroline is stumbling her way through the recent implosion of her life. After a surprise breakup leaves her with no job, no apartment, and no backup plan, she’s unsure of what to do next. That is, until Caroline’s father Leo injures himself in a bad fall and asks her to move home to the Jersey Shore suburb she’d always been desperate to escape. But Leo doesn’t want his daughter to be his caretaker; he needs her to replace him as third baseman in his local men’s softball league. This isn’t just any season, Leo claims. This is the year they have a real shot at the World Series, the pride and joy of Glen Brook, New Jersey.

Caroline agrees to move home, concerned that Leo is hiding a more serious health condition than he’s willing to admit. As the first female player in a league full of old-school men, she’s up against more than a few challenges. And when a night gone wrong lands her in the path of her hometown crush—and first love—Caroline struggles to reconcile the life she thought she’d have with the life she might actually want.

Sharply observed and full of humor and heart, Welcome Home, Caroline Kline is a touching tribute to the many unconventional paths that victory, and recovery, can take.

my review:

Considering I have no real interest in most sports, I’m not sure why the summary of this book called to me. Yet, I’m so glad I picked it up because I ended up really enjoying it, sports scenes and all. Welcome Home, Caroline Kline details a woman’s journey to get her life together as she returns home after a bad break-up to play on her dad’s softball team.

After a surprise break-up from the boyfriend whom she was meant to move cross-country with, Caroline Kline doesn’t really know what to do with her life. When her dad Leo calls after suffering from a serious injury, she begrudgingly returns home to visit him. However, he has ulterior motives even then: he needs her to fill in for him in their suburb’s softball league. He’s convinced that this is the year his team will win, and after a lot of thinking (and remembering how few prospects she has in the city), Caroline agrees. As she plays and is shut out by the league’s men, she rediscovers what it means to be a part of a community, especially after running into her former crush and first love, Crispin.

The writing definitely pulled me in from the very beginning. Caroline’s voice shines off the page; I couldn’t put this book down! This is Courtney Preiss’s debut and I’m definitely very excited to read more from her in the future.

Jimmy Jr. gaped at her, his stomach plummeting to his shoes.

How could he show his face to Mr. Belcher ever again? 

What was he supposed to do now? Send him an edible arrangement? Flowers? Did they make a card that said, “Hey! Sorry for stealing your daughter’s innocence! It won’t happen again!”.
