TDV Stans will state all the reasons why Bonnie was guarded around vampires in the early seasons, yet still say she was a weirdo, or a bitch for acting the way she did.
Them: "you know I get it, her grams died and vampires have done nothing but cause her trauma and despite being a 16/17 year old witch whoā€™s been thrown into the supernatural world having to protect everyone whether she was forced to or not that still didnā€™t give her the right to be distant to Elena, the Salvatore's and act like a bitch to everyone".
Like UM HELLO grams just died. Excuse Bonnie TF out of her for not being in a cheerful kind of mood.
They sound like Caroline when she said Elena used to be fun before her parents died when they say stuff like that. make it make sense. ļæ¼

ride or die playlist
by @pixeljazzy and @zigtheeortega
so after pj made this post, and was encouraged by @choicesarehard to make a playlist for rodaw, i reached out to her and we decided to collab! this is a comprehensive playlist, with explanations for each song. some being the lyrics fit really well, but others are because the vibe fits the characters (in our opinion), not necessarily the song meaning.
putting the song explanations under the cut, since itā€™ll be long! songs picked by pj have [p] next to it and mine have [j] next to it! hope you enjoy it!
Logan
What You Know Bout Love, Pop Smoke [p]
I had to apply the pressure, ā€˜cause you my hidden treasure / I think Iā€™m falling in loveĀ 
Are we surprised this song is first? Cā€™mon now. Anyway, literally when I heard it for the first time, I was like this is the love song that I could see someone just vibing to in a car with their partner, at a house party in the corner serenading their boo, etc. and then BOOM a vision of Hieron and Logan in a car appeared because I could totally see this as their vibe. Just the thought ofĀ Logan rapping this line to Hieron clears my skin.
[p.s. pj wrote a fic based on thisĀ song and itā€™s perfect you should read it]
The Way, Trippie Redd ft. Russ [p]
Weā€™re lost but, babe, we found the way
Because Logan and MC are two teens are a mess lowkey and donā€™t know what they want from life quite yet but they know they got it together.
Think About Me, dvsn [p]
This song is just radiating Logan and MC parting ways vibes
FIND MY WAY, DaBaby [p]
I feel like as Logan is driving away from MC to god knows where, this is something heā€™d definitely drive to
Seasons, 6lack ft. Khalid [p]
Youā€™re lucky the greatest thing I can do is marry you / ā€˜cause if I could, Iā€™d spill my blood
I absolutely adore this slow, chill song, and feel like this is something MC and Logan would be listening to as they unwind in their loft, and with the favorite line, I think it encapsulates how much Logan truly loves and would do anything for MC
Idfc, blackbear [p]
This is giving me Logan vibes after the reveal where MC leaves the shop and heā€™s just reeling in his emotions and feelings and is just purely in his bag thinking about everything
Hide, Juice WRLD ft. Seezyn [p]
Really think I found my home, shorty made me feel at home
Think I met my soulmate, yeah, I know it
Dusk Till Dawn, ZAYN ft. Sia [p]
But youā€™ll never be alone / Iā€™ll be with you from dusk till dawn / Iā€™ll be with you from dusk till dawn / Baby, Iā€™m right here
This song hurts me so so much but itā€™s giving me MC sleeping on Loganā€™s chest type of vibes while heā€™s up because he canā€™t sleep and heā€™ . Also reminds me of Logan because we all know that infamous line ā€œI was just a rock in space lucky enough to burn up in your atmosphere for a moment,ā€ and I feel like this was an unspoken if you look to the stars youā€™ll know Iā€™m always with you type beat.
Fool In Love, Rihanna [p]
Mama, I found a man / who loves me and understands / papa, heā€™s quite a man / he adores me, heā€™s my biggest fan
Okay so yā€™all remember how MC was having a mini identity crisis and didnā€™t know which version of herself she was? And Logan was listening and understanding and processing everything she was ranting about but in the end was just like no matter which one you decide, I like all of you? Yeah, that. Along with him just supporting her whenever he can, even though sometimes it can be overbearing, and him just loving watching her change and grow before his eyes (even though we not gonna mention the part of him that doesnā€™t love that change, feeling guilty for the person sheā€™s becoming and how it could change her life, and the initial intentions he had although how he feels now is genuine) is literally what I think about with these lines
And donā€™t get me wrong, I know heā€™s not perfect in your eyes / but somehow heā€™s flawless in mine
Papa, did I let you down? / Are you ashamed of how your little girl turned out?
This is the lyric that really gets me because one of the things I loved about Ride or Die was the complicated relationship MC had with her father as it was something that resonated so strongly with me. So this one right here really just encapsulates an aspect of that because when MCā€™s on her this is who I am now and I know you resent that because he genuinely is so hurt and in shock of how his girl changed before his eyes, beyond the reigns of control that he once had, and he canā€™t do anything else but process and accept that his little girl isnā€™t so little anymore, rolling around with the people he tried so hard to keep her away from.
Roll Dice, Roddy Rich [j]
I seen the Reapā€™ come / Live my life I had to roll dice / Been through strife, my heart is cold as ice
Iā€™m a star, Iā€™m just hidden in the low light
Pretty explanatory, considering Loganā€™s been through a considerable amount of situations that put him in harmā€™s way and heā€™s come out stronger (and considerably more detached) each time.
Story Of Us, Tinashe [j]
Yeah, youā€™re the prince of my heart / And now there ainā€™t no way they can keep us apart, keep us apart
This song reminds me of Logan and MC a lot because itā€™s an optimistic take on their relationship as a whole and the sad ending.
You Know That I Love You, Donnell Jones [j]
You know that I love you / And that ainā€™t gonā€™ change / And though youā€™re not here with me now / My love for you stays the same
I think Logan would listen to R&B, specifically sappy 90ā€™s R&B, and this line reminds me of them perfectly. I mean just listen to it, itā€™s perfect.
My Favorite Part, Mac Miller & Ariana Grande [j]
Said, you just donā€™t know how beautiful you are / And baby thatā€™s my favorite part / You walk around so clueless to it all / Like nobody gonna break your heart
Said, the universe couldnā€™t keep us apart / Why would it even try?
Before things come together, they have to fall apart
Logan says from the get go that he thinks itā€™s wild that MC is modest and that heā€™s surprised she hadnā€™t gotten a lot of attention from guys. The other song lyrics I mentioned remind me a lot of their separation.
Colt
Me And My Girlfriend, Tupac Shakur [j]
Lost in the whirlwind, ninety-six, Bonnie and Clyde / Me and my girlfriend, do one-eighty-five when we ride
All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend / Down to ride to the bloody end, just me and my girlfriend
So itā€™s canon that Colt likes West Coast rap ā€“ and this song absolutely embodies Coltā€™s musical interests and his relationship with MC. He wouldnā€™t admit it out loud but he definitely heard this song and thought of MC.
Something Special, Pop Smoke [p]
I think youā€™re something special / Iā€™ll take you on a shopping spree
We all know Colt is the king of LA and can definitely buy him and MC anything they want, also the ā€œher father the policeā€ verse quite literally hit the nail on the head
Martin & Gina, Polo G [p]
He was playing games / Got you dancing in the middle of the club
At first, saw this as a Logan and MC song to listen to in the car, but if youā€™re like me and was romancing Logan but danced in the club with Colt because Logan was being distant, the lyrics just do it for me
HitĀ ā€˜Em Up, Tupac Shakur [p]
You couldnā€™t tell us Colt wouldnā€™t love this song, weā€™re not accepting criticism at this time
Pulling Me Back, Chingy ft. Tyrese [j]
Every time I try to leave / Something keeps pulling me back, me back / Telling me I need you in my life / It was meant to be / You were meant for me / So that means we gotta make it work
This song reminds me a lot of Coltā€™s feelings towards MC, because in the lyrics theyā€™re not mentioning they necessarily love her, theyā€™re just gravitating towards her, realizing they need her. And thatā€™s exactly how Colt works through his feelings.
Loveeeeeee Song, Rihanna ft. Future [j]
Boy lately, you been stingy with your time / Got me wondering, Iā€™m wondering if Iā€™m on your mind / Boy I just wanna be in your possession / You say Iā€™m the one you want so come express it
Yeah, we all know Colt wasnā€™t straightforward with his feelings but is more prone to expressing himself physically, and I think this song feels like a confession of her own qualms with him but recognizing that sheā€™s alright with him being physical over verbal. Honestly itā€™s probably not that deep but this song reminds me of Colt x MC so much.
Complicated, Rihanna [j]
Why is everything with you so complicated / Why do you make it hard to love you / Oh I hate it / ā€˜Cause if you really wanna be alone / I, will throw my hands up ā€˜Cause baby I tried
God this whole song is Colt and MC all over because heā€™s so wishy washy and doesnā€™t express himself properly.
90210, Travis Scott [j]
I think Colt and Logan would bump this and thatā€™s my only reasoning.
Changed Up, Rae Sremmurd [j]
I think Logan and Colt both alike would bump this in their car and maybe relate to the lyrics and the general vibe of it.
Demons and Angels, A Boogie With a Hoodie ft. Juice WRLD [p]
Iā€™m from the West Side, know not to play with us, yeah
I think Iā€™m addicted to this lifestyle, I swear
Colt is quite literally from the West Side, and the ā€˜I think Iā€™m addicted to this lifestyleā€™ line is what really stood out to me because Colt wanted nothing than to be a part of his fatherā€™s life and legacy, and Kaneko wanted to keep that separate from him because he knew Colt would be all in.
Run This Town, Jay-Z ft. Rihanna [p]
Does this need an explanation because you already know Colt is running the fuck outta LA thank you for tuning in
Mona
Ungodly Hour, Chloe x Halle [j]
You know that Iā€™ve, I heard it all before / Youā€™re hesitant, wish you could give me more
I donā€™t have the time / To teach you how to love all over again / Now let me ask you this / Are you giving all that you could give?
This is Mona and MC all over. She was clear about being hurt by an ex, and that it was hard for her to open up to MC in the first place, let alone fall for her. So this is like a confessional from MC to Mona.
Te Amo, Rihanna [j]
Then she said Te amo, then she put her hand around my waist / I told her no, she cried Te amo / I told her Iā€™m not gonna run away, but let me go / My soul is awry and without asking why / I said Te amo
The lyrics are sad but this reminds me of Mona and MC, too. Thereā€™s a lot of push and pull with Mona, so I think this describes their back and forth so well.
Scared of Love, Juice WRLD [p]
Not scared to love, just scared of love
I initially put this in the Logan section, but I think itā€™s more fitting for Mona because she put up these walls to avoid putting herself at risk in the process of giving someone her all after the last girl played her, but underneath it all, sheā€™s still capable to love even though she may think sheā€™s undeserving of it from MC or that love in itself is a scam.
ball w/o you, 21 Savage [p] [and j bc our minds are linked]
Iā€™d rather have loyalty than love / ā€˜Cause love donā€™t really mean jack / See love is just a feeling / You can love somebody and still stab them in they back
This is giving me Mona and her ex vibes, and just how Mona is a very everyone for themselves type of person so she has no problem balling by herself because thatā€™s what she expects in the end.
Escape, Akon and Wizkid [p]
We can run away / so far away, escape
Oh, my baby, oh, baby / I would never let you go
Okay I know our songs for Mona have been sad lately, but this reminds me of them because Mona said MC would be hard asf to forget and I already know MC is scrambling to find a solution, a possibility, where Mona didnā€™t have to go to jail and theyā€™d be able to be together, hence ā€˜escapeā€™.
Escape, Kehlani [p]
Strange for me to wanna love someone / Whoā€™s better by themselves
ā€˜Cause I canā€™t let you lose yourself, looking for me / And I canā€™t let you make me your, your everything
I know you see this escape theme Iā€™m on here LMFAOO but I think this is in Monaā€™s perspective about MC because sheā€™s like MC is a goody two shoes, new to this life, etc. just overall someone with a better future than me and I donā€™t wanna mess that up for them (hence the Iā€™m dangerous and pushing her away in the beginning and all the warnings).
Acquainted, The Weeknd [p]
Baby, youā€™re no good / Cause they warned me ā€˜bout your type girl, Iā€™ve been ducking left and right
To say that weā€™re in love is dangerous / But girl Iā€™m so glad weā€™re acquainted
Canā€™t Remember to Forget You, Shakira ft. Rihanna [p and j]
I canā€™t remember to forget you / I keep forgetting I should let you go
ā€œYouā€™re gonna be damn hard to forget.ā€
This is so Mona because itā€™s both flexible in meaning with her ex and MC.Ā 
MC
Donā€™t Make It Harder On Me, Chloe x Halle [j]
If you keep acting so sweet / I might just wake up and leave / This boy that I pinky swore / Weā€™d be together for sure / I canā€™t be thinking of you / When Iā€™m alone with my boo / If you smile at me again / I may do something stupid
Gives me Logan/Colt/Mona love triangle type vibes!
Who Can I Run To, Xscape [j]
Who can I run to, to share this empty space? / Who can I run to, When I need love? / Who can I run to, to fill this empty space with laughter?
After her liā€™s leave this def gives me those bittersweet vibes like when they all leave L.A., including MC for college.
Aston Martin Music, Rick Ross [j]
Bobbinā€™ to the music / This is how we do it, all night / Breezinā€™ down the freeway / Just me and my baby
Wouldā€™ve came back for you / I just needed time to do what I had to do / Caught in the life / I canā€™t let it go / Whether thatā€™s right I wonā€™t ever know
This reminds me of another bittersweet moment like MC is reflecting on her favorite times with her LI, but also acknowledging that her LI canā€™t be 100% loyal to her because of her lifestyle
Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary, Rihanna [j]
Brown eyes, tuxedo, fast cars / A James Dean on the low, Dean on the low
Who knew the course of this one drive / Injured us fatally
Letā€™s live in the moment / As long as we got each other / Die in the moment / Iā€™m prepared to die in the moment / ā€˜Cause even forever ainā€™t forever
This entire song fits for all the LIā€™s (despite the lyrics saying ā€œboyā€ it works for all of them perfectly. I just picked a couple lyrics to prove it!
Question Existing, Rihanna [j]
Who am I living for?/ Is this my limit?/ Can I endure some more?/ Chances Iā€™m given, question existing
Reminds me of when MC was torn between loyalty to her father and Jason Shaw and MPC at the same time.
Bed of Lies, Nicki Minaj ft. Skylar Grey [p]
This is 100% MC after the reveal.
Change Your Life, Kehlani ft. Jhene Aiko [p and j]
I heard that you a gangsta / Not one to try to save her / Always focus on your paper / Don't got time to wager with your heart
You deserve someone that'll take you to another level
The lyrics to this song fit so well with all of the LIā€™s. Definitely addresses all of the LIā€™s reluctance to be with MC and MCā€™s pursuit of them.
Serial Lover, Kehlani [p and j]
Lord knows / My intentions are pure and my heart full of gold, oh
This song fits MCā€™s relationship with all of the LIā€™s, especially when thereā€™s conflict between them. MC is miles more transparent with her feelings than Logan, Colt, and Mona.
Sheā€™s So Gone, Naomi Scott [p]
So it looks like the jokeā€™s on you / ā€˜cause the girl that you thought you knew / Sheā€™s so gone
You can look but you wonā€™t see the girl I used to be, ā€˜cause she / sheā€™s so gone, away / like history
Yes this is from Lemonade Mouth and yes I feel like this embodies MC perfectly!
Misc.
(this includes Ximena, Toby, side characters, the overall vibe of ROD, etc.)
Tints, Anderson .Paak ft. Kendrick Lamar [j]
Ridinā€™, ridinā€™, round that open street / I need tints / I need my windows tinted / I canā€™t be flying down that 110 with a bad bitch in my whip / I need tints
This reminds me a lot of Ximena and Toby because theyā€™re so chill and carefree compared to the rest of the crew, and this song embodies that.
Nascar, Roddy Ricch [p]
Honestly, heard this song and thought Iā€™d be perfect for another side show, or a racing song
We Donā€™t Luv Em, HoodRich Pablo Juan [p]
Another side show/racing song
DJ Got Us Fallinā€™ In Love, Usher [p]
I feel like this couldā€™ve played at the club depending on the vibe they were going for, and even if they werenā€™t, I feel like the club was a very romantically charged event so the DJ had errbody falling in love (MC and whoever, Toby and the guy he went off to dance with, etc.)
break da law, 21 Savage [p]
Me and my dawgs break laws
This is Kaneko and the crew, even though Kaneko would never call them his dawgs, but you get the gist.
Trust Nobody, Lil Wayne ft. Adam Levine [p]
I donā€™t trust nobody, not my lovers, not my friends / I donā€™t make no promises ā€˜cause I know just how theyā€™ll end / I donā€™t trust nobody, I donā€™t need nobody else / And as messed up as it sounds, I donā€™t even trust myself, yeah
This hurts me because the song talks about not being able to trust people in general so I feel like this has been Logan all his life, Mona after she was betrayed, and Colt after the death of his father (minus the donā€™t trust my lover part because obviously they are whipped for MC and you canā€™t change my mind).
Undercover, Kehlani [p]
You know they donā€™t wanna see us together / But it donā€™t matter, no, ā€˜cause I got you
Baby, they donā€™t wanna see me be happy / ā€˜Cause they ainā€™t happy, no -- they donā€™t got you
So this is MC with all the LIā€™s because everybody (Riya, Darius, her dad, etc.) thinks everyone in the crew is bad news but no matter who MC is with, theyā€™re happy with them regardless of what everyone thinks.
Party Monster, The Weeknd [p]
Okay, this might seem really weird, but I feel like this is a song that would play in the background as the crew would plan or orchestrate a heist you know like the camera panning to different people just really focused on that theyā€™re doing like thereā€™s some camera work going on in my head that I wish I could properly articulate but I hope you guys see the vision.
Shut Up and Drive, Rihanna [p and j]
This is self explanatory.
