I do think it's funny that the Salvatores are the ones with all the information this season because it's usually the opposite. Despite being around for a century and half they don't actually seem to know anything about the supernatural world

They didn't know werewolves existed, they didn't know about the Originals until Rose (despite their sire being on the run from them), they didn't know about sire lines, they didn't know about the sun and moon curse (this is particularly funny because wolves who'd been around for less time than the Salvatores knew about this), they didn't know about doppelgangers and honestly they don't seem to know a whole lot about Katherine full stop. Damon knew her real name and Stefan knew her birthday but other than that they seem to be missing out on key details about their sire. Stefan didn't even know he was a ripper until Lexi showed up despite Mystic Falls being home to 20+ vampires before this and they don't seem to know much about witches either despite knowing Emily and Damon protecting her bloodline

But this season? Damon is the one that knows about Shane and the Pastor's shady relationship, that Shane also knew Haley, that Shane convinced him to blow up the council, that a Bennett witch was needed to raise Silas and despite sirebonds being rare Damon has past knowledge of those too. Stefan knows about the origin of the five and the daggers. They both learn about expression being worse than dark magic to the point it's not even considered magic and is powered by mass murder, they know about the hunter's curse and potentials and they don't share any of it with the relevant parties!

Like I know the reason that they don't know things is for plot reasons so that they learn as we the audience learns but instead it just comes across as them having been entirely oblivious for the last century and a half. Which is particularly funny when they're the two vampires left in charge of teaching the baby vampires. They don't know shit! Nobody taught them by the sounds of it. Katherine and the MF vampires had otherwise disappeared, Lexi seems to come and go as is relevant to plot and Sage despite being at least 900 years old sticks around for one day to teach them to indulge in the feed before disappearing without further information like damn

#TVD #tvd lb #series 4 #Damon Salvatore #Stefan Salvatore #Salvatore brothers #The Mikaelsons #Katherine Pierce #like generally they dont seem to know anything and yet this season they have all the cards and dont share them with anyone #damon knows shane is manipulating bonnie and even when Shane says 'who do you think shes more likely to trust?' damons response is to say #to bonnie that 'the witch that loses her powers gets left out of the important conversations' further proving shanes point that bonnie cant #trust him instead of coming clean to her and creating that doubt in shane before she learnt about the massacres and was already dependant #on Shane for his help and keeping control. also at that point he knows shes getting her magic back? like i know its cus plec did bonnies #character dirty and constantly kept her out of the narrative despite being pivotal to the story but it doesnt even make sense #i know stefan couldnt tell in the beginning but once its out there theres really no reason for him not to come clean about everything #including express the sirebond and the massacres Stefan admittedly doesnt have quite the monopoly on info that Damon does particularly as #damon doesnt even bother to share what matt learnt about the pastor and Shane despite he himself being accused of causing the explosion #but still the lack of communication as a running theme throughout the show irritates me especially when it regards bonnie as shes the one #that has to pull through to fix everything in the end anyway so she needs that information to do so #but yeah they really are the donna nobles of tvdu in that they seem to have been unaware of everything going on in the supernatural world #for the century and half that theyve been alive
