#the closest we get to invulnerability is that any wound or trauma can harm but it just won't be enough to kill

started thinking about it because apparently i’m in my complain about brainless tv shows era but my god silas from tvd was such a missed opportunity
#personal#for one i think silas never should have revealed his physical form#hell i think even silas's gender should have been a question mark that was never resolved#because they always just imitate other people with no regard for gender or sexuality#for two i hate that they went with 'first immortal is just a vampire but hates the word vampire' NO#have silas be the first immortal and that's it: immortal#a vampire isn't just a vampire because they live forever they gotta die first and all that and ALSO#vampirism comes with a host of powers like super strength and super speed and a degree of invulnerability#which silas shouldn't have. silas should literally just be immortal. ageless and incapable of dying#the closest we get to invulnerability is that any wound or trauma can harm but it just won't be enough to kill#silas'll never lose too much blood or a head wound will never be entirely incapacitating and any attempt at stabbing#will always just miss the heart#and have the mind control powers come from the fact that silas was a some kinda witch before immortality#since it's ancient greece (apparently? god julie.) just have silas be part of a now extinct coven of powerful witches#and therefore there is no understanding the powers silas has available because the knowledge is just straight up lost now it's not there#and so silas is unkillable and most importantly entirely reliant on powers and mental prowess and trickery#it's not about who can fight the best now it's about whether they can possibly outsmart this insanely old and wicked and shifty person#that they know nothing about they don't even know what silas looks like#that's what it should have been god it's so annoying
