#wtf happened with damon and stefan

[hyperactivewhore]

Can't let gang know the ending of TVD physically and emotionally destroyed me

[midlandslady]

Writers and audience impact

I hate hate hate when the writers/ producers/ directors wait for the audience's reaction to see if they should push a pairing in or not.

Like wtf? By the time they get our reaction, we have already been fed a story. And some of us will have loved it and others hated it but it was the story they created. Changing the pairing later based on the fandoms is so f* stupid.

I have stopped watching countless of tv shows because of this.

Examples: Vampire diaries. I really liked it at that time of my life. And I liked Stefan and Elena. They were a bit too lovey-dovey and boring? Yes, but I liked them. The story was about them. The books too. But because Damon was more handsome and sexier and had, according to the audience, better chemistry with Elena, they decided to give what the audience preferred, going against the original book.

The 100 is an odd example. Everyone loved Bellamy and Clarke, they are also the romantic pairing in the book. But the tv show created such a deep profound connection between them that was better than the book. It was an enemies-to-lovers trope developed to perfection. But what did they do? They destroyed it in what seems to be a clear defiance of what the public loved and the book. It made no sense at all. I stopped watching when I realized it was going in that direction and decided to wait for the finale. And I'm so glad I did. Horrible thing. I hate even the memory of having loved it.

Another example. Never have I ever. Yes, Paxton was the hot boy that we should begin to hate at some point in a very cliché fashion. And Ben is the rival that will become a friend and then a lover. All good. But then they developed Paxton and Paxton was ten thousand times better than Ben. And by the end of season 1 and particularly season 2, I was sure Team Paxton had won. But I was wrong. There comes the shift. For 2 seasons I loved Devi and Paxton but then all that development and fairytale-like ending is put into the garbage and I am supposed to pretend it never happened because now the main pairing is Ben and Devi. I did not watch season 3 and season 4. To me, it ended in season 2 and what an amazing ending it was.

So yes, I was afraid that House of the Dragon would be the same. They created a story between Daemon and Rhaenyra in season 2 that was special and magical in a very hauntingly gothic fashion. It was perfection, the chemistry, the between-the-lines feelings, the desire, the attraction, the frustration. My god, we could feel it all. And every episode was so exciting because of that. People loved it, not everyone, but most people loved it. People were in love with Daemyra and with Daemon and with Matt Smith. There were hundreds of videos on youtube, pages on the internet talking about it, it was everywhere. It couldn't have been more successful. But the writers somehow, despite creating such a beautiful thing, were surprised that the public loved it so much. So they came out saying: you're seeing it wrong. Daemon is mean, evil, selfish and cruel and you need to see that. So they create a season 2 to make us hate daemon, to make us fall out of love with Daemyra. Yet they were fearful of pushing it too far so they still gave us a happy ending to keep us satisfied. But are they waiting to see if we have given up on Daemyra and would be more open to other pairings that they wish to introduce? I want to believe they won't do it, but do I trust it 100%? Of course not. Similarly, they are giving contrary information about Helaemond to see how we react and if they can push it or move away from it in season 3. I also think they didn't make Rhaena claim sheepstealer to see how fans would react to the potential elimination of Nettles. And I hate that they do it! Just be consistent, for god's sake! Write the damn story as you did before knowing how the public would react but be consistent with what you started.

[aka-efirg]

ok bit a background and context for something i'm gonna post later (probably... eventually... if i manage to finish it) but in the meanwhile

time-travel idea from an au which has been living non-stop in my head for the last weeks. in this au (no details, just ideas floating around), instead of damon and elena dating, there is this weird dating?not dating? denzo which is hella confusing to everyone because they're close always touching and being in each other space but!!!? we just saw damon making out with a random girl and enzo being cool??? about it so they're not dating then? right?!? (i just love the idea of undefined relationship between damon and enzo, just them being bestfriends and maybe they have sex maybe not) (somewhere in the other side alaric is groaning and despairing because "of course they're not just bestfriends!! damon and i weren't like that!! i mean yeah damon doesn't know what personal space is when drunk and is all over you whether you want it or not but we weren't like t h a t" but nobody can hear him (except maybe jeremy who chooses to ignore alaric because? he doesn't want to know or more importantly he doesn't want to think about what damon and enzo do in their free time thank you very much!))

okay i didn't plan on going that much into denzo (seriously the bestfriends ambiguous as hell thing l o v e. i t!)

but what is important to know is the things with hell happened (different from canon, notably no katherine as queen of hell) it's all cade and they failed to stop him so hellfire starts spreading and everyone is killed one by one. important thing to know now is last scene of this au is bonnie who just got killed with caroline arriving to see damon on the ground with bonnie in his arms (enzo and stefan already dead) and then she gets killed by cade. cade is about to kill damon with hellfire but before he gets burned he finds himself in front of emily who tells him he'll have a chance to start over because with cade winning, there is no balance anymore. with nothing left to lose damon accepts and emily sends him back to the past

so damon is thrown back during season 2, where everyone hates him and doesn't trust him at all, his last memories being caroline (with whom he developed an okay relationship) and bonnie (bestfriend and one of his favorite people) dying. he feels very disconnected (everyone is so young, only caroline is a vampire and even then she's a very baby vampire and bonnie hates him, his brother distrusts him) and there is a change in his behavior so obvious everyone notices and is very suspicious of it and it's too much for him. and then he remembers enzo is still a prisoner to augustine so damon leaves because he can't leave enzo to be tortured when he knows he's alive

bottom line, things happen with damon having memories from the previous timeline and with enzo present who is very disturbed by his friend because?!? fifty years alone and the man who abandoned him and left him to die suddenly comes back to free him, killing everyone on his way (he's still a bit convived this is a very elaborated hallucination) and then tells him he killed the woman he loved and he is acting so strange wtf? he's the one who was prisoner and alone and tortured for decades?? why damon looks worse than him?!

[kmze]

Just wanted to let you know that after our discussion on s7,I looked up on YouTube and found this one interview that had Plec,King,Neil and Melinda talking about the season.And I laughed because what they said and what happened was so so different.This proves, yet again, that what writers say in interviews are either lies or they mostly make up sh** to bait and switch.I mean we already knew julie wasn't involved in that season but she straight-up made up a scene where Caroline wasn't ready to leave Stefan behind when Stefan's life was in danger.And Neil said they knew going from s6 that the long arc of s7 would be about Damon-Bonnie and Stefan-Caroline.I don't remember Bamon and Bonnie getting importance at all except the first few episodes and the last few episodes although most of that was happening in Enzo's presence.The only two things that remained constant were Plec blaming Candice for getting pregnant and Dries for the flash forwards.Unbelievable!

Oh Anon I had no idea they did hour long podcasts for each season a few years ago until this! I've seen snippets of the clips on Twitter but I didn't realize it was a whole series. So I watched it and I actually felt like it validated my theory that Dries was behind so much of the S7 fuckery. There's a part where Julie says she can't do "math" storylines and that Dries whole pitch about the FF involved that so that's why she stepped away from the plotting of that. Makes sense Dries would use that to be like "oh don't worry I got this whole plan it's gonna be great" and Julie believed her until she started seeing the finished episodes (while they aired apparently *sigh*) and was like WTF. I feel like Neil and Melinda were talking about what they thought the season was going to be about with continuing the arc but then Dries derailed that.

I mean Neil's episodes had good Bonnie and Bamon in them (7x04 then later 7x21) so it makes sense he'd say that even if overall it wasn't a lot. That's because Dries hates Bonnie and I remember her being so rude to Kat at SDCC before that season aired when Kat was talking about how fans liked Bamon. Julie hates it too but at she'll at least give importance to their friendship, Dries does everything in her power to exclude it. Julie also said how Stefan and Caroline's storyline changed once Candice told them she was pregnant. I thought there was going to be way more Lily/Caroline/Stefan in S7 especially in regards to vampirism/ripper-dom but instead Valerie got inserted there. I remember how in 7x01 Valerie has straight light brown hair and then it becomes curlier and blonder as the season progresses and I know that was intentional.

I think the lazy development of Bonnie and Enzo falls on her too! I know a lot of people like them but I just find them so basic, I never like ships with so little build-up like that. They also talked about how they had to connect the FF with the current episode and I feel like that caused BS too like Stefan burning the car and needing to say in the present "do whatever you want but do not touch my car" was a jab at SC because Lily was holding Caroline captive.

Edited to add: OMG there was a lot sorry, I don't know what Julie was talking about with the motel scene and Candice seemed to confuse it with the scene in 7x12(I think?) when Matt saved her in news studio but, Neil was the only one who knew what he was talking about there. He summed up the 7x21 scene as at first how Stefan didn't respect Caroline's choice (TO DIE FFS) by being caveman-y but then they talked it out and why he did it. But that scene has wayyyy more nuance to it in the overall character of Stefan that can't be explained in a podcast setting like that.

[zalrb]

why is enzo irrelevant according to you?

from another post of mine that i wrote when season 7 was on air:

The way he’s written reminds me of university students who lost their way, like oh I thought I’d be good at psychology but I don’t like it let’s try sociology let’s try English let’s try math — that is like Enzo and his stupid storylines: let me be Damon’s bff oh that didn’t work let me try to find Maggie oh that didn’t pan out let me be have a thing for Caroline oh wait she’s involved in another romantic storyline let me be obsessed with destroying Stefan’s life oh that didn’t make any sense, let me get involved with Sarah oh that was a waste of time, let me fall in love with Lily oh wait she belongs to the Salvatore brothers, let me be obsessed with finding family now, LIKE PICK A FUCKING MAJOR ENZO. JFC. (and this is a current insertion: obviously characters have different storylines my issue with Enzo was that it felt like the writers were just throwing things at him to see what stuck and nothing stuck, nothing had narrative or emotional impact or weight, no follow through that led to an arc that influenced the show and the characters or Enzo for that matter in any real way)What would’ve made more sense is if Enzo was a partner in crime of Damon’s back in the day and he came to Mystic Falls to raise hell and saw that Elena had neutered Damon and was like, dude what the fuck? Remember when we used to be freaking beasts? Let’s run this town! And Damon goes through a crisis of identity or whatever. That would’ve been cool. But no.

a calmer reiteration

Anonymous asked:

I thought Enzo had potential when first brought on. He could've been a thorn in Damon's side because Damon left him. They quickly did away with that story because evry1 has to luuuvv Damon. They could've delved deeper into how his experience shaped him but nope there was no meat to his story. Then his horrible sl last season, y in the world would he be after Stefan? That's the kind of sense jp/cd have though NO SENSE non sense. From MM interview I think jp felt bad about how she screwed up his character, he also had another offer but they wanted him to stay and he did all for s6 mess. So knowing this jp probably thought putting Enzo with Bonnie would make up for it, trying to give him more of a relevant sl. I feel like she’s doing this with MD character Ric. She knows he’s irrelevant so she incorporated him into a lead’s sl. Enzo should’ve died in s5 and Ric should’ve stayed dead. If there were more competent ppl running tvd then they could’ve wrote a sl for both that made sense.

Ehh, I never cared for Enzo tbh and never thought he was relevant especially since I was angry that TVD introduced yet another character and was doing nothing with Matt and Tyler and Jeremy in season 5 or in season 6 and in season 6 they added Liv and Luke too, which is a TVD problem, they keep adding characters instead of flushing out the ones they already have so I always resented Enzo. If there HAD to be an Enzo, though, I would give him an entirely different storyline and instead of being the poor guy that Damon left to burn and years of torture blah blah blah (which was a storyline that served to make Damon more sympathetic instead of giving history on Enzo as a character) I would make Enzo an old partner in crime from Damon’s past and have him come back and be like, “Dude wtf happened to you? You’re whipped. I don’t even recognize you anymore, the Damon Salvatore I knew was a fucking BEAST” and would basically have Damon assess what his life has become, who he’s become, how he doesn’t feel like himself and get him to start all kinds of shit in MF but instead he was just a physical symbol of Damon’s guilt and conscience and blah blah fucking blah. And then in season 6, like him being OBSESSED with destroying Stefan was just, WHY, WHY ARE YOU HERE? this makes NO sense. he was just around doing shit that no one cared about. And yes, you’re right they incorporated him into a central sl this season to make him more relevant which is why they paired him with Bonnie even though that makes absolutely no sense and it’s a rush job. Alaric should’ve stayed dead in season 3 and done it. But Julie likes Matt so she brought him back. The only character Julie was adamant on killing was Bonnie in season 5 and Kat had to lay out all the reasons why Bonnie should return in season 6.

Like he'd been on the show for three seasons and I still don't really know who he's supposed to be as a character or what the point of him was other than to eventually become a consolation prize for Bonnie fans.

[kiss-my-freckle]

Stefan fans will jump through hoops trying to blame Damon for the choices Stefan makes. Just ran into one that's trying to claim Damon forced Stefan to flip his humanity switch in season 8. This is despite the fact that Stefan was the one who offered to flip his switch, and did so willingly. I have to wonder wtf happened to the sanity of Stelena shippers.

[gold-wolf-soldier13]

So I’m watching Friendly Space Ninja’s video on the Originals cause I never watched it but my mom and sister swear by it and in the last hour he mentions that he thinking literally anybody could play Elena Gilbert, that it didn’t have to be Nina Dobrev and I 100% agree!! but not for most of the reasons most fans would.

So I started reading the original Vampire Diaries books back in like, the late 2000’s/early 2010’s so look I think I’ve got skin in the game here even if it’s been a minutes since I read them and I have never watch past the pilot episode of the tv show honestly because of Nina Dobrev

Like no hate to her she gets enough of it honestly but when people started talking about The Vampire Diaries as a tv series, she was the last person I would have picked simply because, well honestly she wasn’t fucking blonde.

And like I get it, “Gold that’s so shallow wtf” but Eleana Gilbert is a Very Special Character to me and I could have gotten over Elena not being Blonde™️ if they didn’t, seconds later introduce Jeremy and Not Aunt Judith I literally don’t remember her name on the show whoops and that shit took me out.

Aunt Judith and Margaret while never heavily involved in Elena’s supernatural struggles were a very integral part of her character, like fuckin spoilers for a book over 20 years old but keeping Margaret safe is one of Elena’s first interactions with Damon!!! he threatens her baby sister and she gives into him, letting him drink her blood against her will to keep him from doing anything to Margaret.

Elena is a bitch, she is kinda selfish and shallow- she’s a teenager!! she’s kinda supposed to be! She’s Queen Bee of Robert E. Lee High School and she didn’t get there by being fucking nice but she was never actively malicious- just a teenage girl who was used to getting everything she wanted because people just liked her and the showrunners for the tv show were fucking cowards

Because the tv show came out after Twilight even though the source material was written well before, TVD had to be like Twilight and that meant there was a love triangle and over the top dramatics because that’s just what the genre was at the time. Now I’m not saying that the book series didn’t have a love triangle but it just felt different in the book cause you knew from jump that it was always going to be Elena/Stefan, there was no way in hell that she was gonna end up with Damon and everyone knew that.

Which is what made the beginning of book 3 (I think I can’t remember, I owned the omnibus versions and I’m at work rn and can’t fact check myself) so shocking and actually made me ship Elena and Damon for a while. Elena had just died, run off the bridge that had killed her parents something the tv show actually gets right but she survives cause she and Damon had shared blood very recently and when she wakes up as a vampire, she has no memory of anyone besides Damon and for that brief moment Elena was honestly That Bitch™️ until she got her memories back and stopped being a bit of a menace

But even after that she handled her transformation really maturely from what I remember and from what I know of the show, that doesn’t happen and it’s a huge disservice to Elena as a character and Nina Dobrev as an actress because she was handicapped from the beginning by the showrunners!!

The writers purposefully chose to make Elena this timid, wallflower, whiney, “girl-next-door” type of character then didn’t understand why no one liked her as the main character and gave all of Elena’s best traits and story beats to Caroline. They kneecapped Elena from the start, designed her into a corner then floundered when their choices came back to bite them.

Elena Gilbert is the driving force behind the plot of The Vampire Diaries, and it’s such a shame the people in charge didn’t understand that because the show could have been so much better if they’d just embraced the material they had instead of trying to be Twilight and making her another version of Bella Swan.

[tvdpics]

ok guys I am not being mean but seriously, this show should just center around Elena, Stefan, Damon and Katherine. I kinda hate the Originals. Klaus is always making empty threats and Elijah can be two-faced sometimes (like how he secretly dates Katherine in Season 4) and Rebekah is always whiny about not having enough. so I am sorry The Originals shouldn't have happened. And after that, they left for New Orleans? wtf. so what was the point of their appearance? ok rant over.

[katherineholmes]

2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 18, 19!

2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom

Well, I don't see Elijah ever agreeing to bottom. He has those soft dom vibes going on, the casual condescension, the mocking, just general Elijah fuckery as Feral said recently. He has control issues, not as bad as Klaus, but he wants to control every piece on the board, he wants to be the one to solve the problems, he was put into the role of protector/caretaker a long time ago, and he both wants and needs it. So I can't see him bottoming, the only time it might happen is if Elena is topping from the bottom (which is pretty much how their dynamic is anyway.)

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

I've already answered that here.

5. worst discord server and why

Uhhh, there was a dark fic server that I was a part of for a while, where the mod just went crazy. He wouldn't enable emoticons or sending media in channels and we had to ask him every single time. And then he got into a fight with another member on the server, and started mocking anyone who tried to explain her point in the argument.

It was weird, when I pointed out that his behaviour was childish and unacceptable, he said 'lol', so I left, and we all made our own server.

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

Nian - I still see edits of those two, and how they should be together. It was so toxic when s6 of TVD was filming and airing, honestly just terrible. A makeup artist came forward and said Nina was pushed into a corner by Ian, death threats were sent to Nikki Reed, YT edits were made, an entire section of fans wished Ian would leave Nikki to be with Nina. All three of them were pitted against each other in every permutation and combination, it got so bad that Ian Somerhalder has openly discussed his dislike for the section of fans who harassed his wife to that extent, and I don't blame him.

9. worst part of canon

I've already mentioned the sire bond in a different ask, so it's going to be the Travellers because wtf was that. Even now, I don't understand what their motive was. I mean what is it with the TVD writers and their inability to write romance? Want Delena together - sire bond, want Stelena together - mystical doppelgänger soulmates.

I'm also not a fan of the fact that they made Stefan a doppelgänger, they had extremely compelling doppelgängers in the form of Katherine and Elena and yet, instead of showing them bond or work together we get them fighting over a guy, I mean, why? Just why?

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...

Tyler/Jeremy - Those two had chemistry, they hated each other, they fought each other, but Jeremy is extremely sympathetic towards Tyler when he learns that his dad is abusive. I will die on this hill, but Jeremy should've been the one to help Tyler through his werewolf transition.

It should've been Jeremy doodling nonsense to keep Tyler's spirits up, it should've been Jeremy in the cellar, helping Tyler during the first full moon, it should've been Tyler getting Damon to back off from Jeremy, it should've been Jeremy, Tyler and Elena bonding on movie nights. The chemistry between Tyler and Jeremy is fire, they are tortured artists, grieving, their lives upended by the supernatural even though they aren't directly related to it. I need more Tyler and Jeremy (and I'm going to write it into one of my fics too).

19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like...

Lucien Castle. I was always a bit indifferent towards him, until he killed my girl Cami, then I hated him. But even on rewatch, knowing what he's done, I'm still a bit intrigued about him. I've recently been analysing his character a bit for a fic, and I can't help but like him. He's a little like Klaus, but he's so compelling just as he is, which is a shame, because all he wants to be is like Klaus.

I still believe he had a lot of potential, even more than what they had showed. He's the true beginning of the downfall of the Mikaelsons, and he's creepy af, not to mention what he did to Cami. But truly, he works for hundreds of years just to take the Mikaelsons down, and actually succeeds, even Klaus is running scared of him. Even if he died, the damage was done.

[directioner5life]

are human partners like dogs to vampires ? you love them, but they die cause their life is longer than yours and then get a new one…

[traitorousbitch]

I’m spiraling but...

JP said she wasn’t sure if Enzo’s death was going “too far” but knew she had to make Stefan do something unforgivable. KILL ELENA LOL wtf I just don’t get it. Kill Elena and Damon dies for Stefan in the end, finally getting to see her again in the afterlife. That way everyone gets their happy ending. Like wtf was that. Bonnie’s friends were sad for her tremendous loss for a total of 30 seconds and then it was like nothing happened. Meanwhile, every good person in the show suffered just for Damon to have his HAE. They couldn’t even let her keep her psychic link to Enzo for more than 2 episodes before forcing her to let the annoying kids to siphon her magic to save them...even though Stefan said Valerie cast a protection spell that was supposed to protect them from harm? So was that a lie? Then, after all of that is said and done, how convenient was it that after all the discussion about Bonnie not being able to do any witchy-woo to find a loophole around the Kai link only to be able to do the fucking WITCHY-WOO AS SOON AS ALL THE GOOD PEOPLE ARE DEAD. 

I’m glad TVD is leaving Netflix bc I cannot keep reliving this trauma lmao

[movedtovervainbrokemyheart]

@@@@@

@foretoldchaos literally made me fall in love with Zemo and like I literally didn't think that was a thing that would ever happen. lmao. I mean I loved him in FATWS. But I remember prior to meeting the mun I was like, I am never shipping with a Zemo, ever. Next thing I know I'm in love with Zemo and Aria's dynamic and I have a ship with Zemo. Listen the universe loves irony. Larry needs to die tho. Our stucky will slowly kill me as well. I'm feeling like it may do me in one of these days. I'm fine with it. It's a good way to go. I love to read the writing even if it's not with me, tbh. Just such a good time. Also Steve? Chef's kiss. Love him. Love him so much. Bucky and Violet both said so.

@fatedtragedie listen we talk almost every day now? And I swear our rps make me either so happy or so sad. Sometimes it’s a rollercoaster. The discord stuff is usually lighter than our tumblr threads which is so funny to me like wtf is that? But, our ships are so so good and I’d probably write anyone for you ever if you asked. You’re so sweet and chill and I know I can talk to you about whatever and you aren’t gonna jump down my throat or make me feel bad which for me is lmao kind of impossible at times. The writing is so great too and I swear that Stony thread gives me so many feelings. Not to mention Violet and Tony reuniting after endgame. I want to cry but not really bc If I actually cry it means downward spiral. So just pretend I cried. You’re one of my favorite people ever.

@twxcesaved I’ve always loved the Raimi! movies but a lot of people just don’t and for a long time I felt kind of weird about admitting they were my favorites. But then I came across your blog and it was like....is it cool? am I cool? I love it sm. I love this entire blog and all the rps on both my blogs and the mun is so so nice. Honestly, last night I got random pats, you know who loves random pats?? ME??

@ofdamages is awesome and I love our Damon and Stefan brother vibes. I do want to do more there. But the ooc chat is also a vibe. It’s easy and chill and sometimes we can just look at the lunacy of things and laugh about it. I appreciate that with my oc’s you want to make sure you get things right when you do little lists and things about them or headcanons. It’s like such a little nice thing you do. I also love to hear about your day tbh. So just all around rad. I love the writing too. I’ve written most with like Damon I think? But we will change that soon I promise.

@pantslessoptimism i’ll never spell your url right as long as I live. honestly, i’m going to resign myself to the fact that it’s not happening LMAO. what is happening? you. you are a cool cat. I love Sophie so much and I am glad that I have Spencer and some others here to appreciate her because AC and Ric are fucking trash. AC especially. When is someone going to make him go extinct like the dinosaurs. Actually, let’s exchange AC for the dinosaurs, who works in HR? I can set it up. Seriously though, she’s so fun and cool and I think it’s a lot of fun to chat ooc about stuff even if it’s mostly just me apologizing for AC because he’s such a bad person. Spencer will make up for it I promise. You are really nice and I’m glad to know you and write with you. 

[forbesromanoff]

My blog is slowly becoming a hate on TVD writers acc. Damn.

Well. Then lemme just say it:

Damon. Salvatore. Annoys. ME (I’m speaking from Season 1 to Season 3 for this)

First, Damon falling in love with Elena was so sudden? It just sorta happened? I don’t really get it, because he constantly complained about how annoying she was and stuff and then he suddenly would bend over backwards to do anything for her? Also, he deflects his responsibility so much. The way he treats Stefan and talks about Stefan disgusts me, ESPECIALLY when Stefan is being compelled by Klaus and has his humanity off because of Klaus. Maybe the way to go about this isn’t to belittle him and make sarcastic comics 24/7? Maybe you stop taking it out on Stefan/blaming Stefan for being compelled by Klaus and having his humanity turned off by Klaus, when Stefan did it to save YOUR life. TWICE. Maybe be mad at Klaus for this?

Also REALLY? Stealing your brother’s girlfriend and not caring about it hurting him, ADDING ON to EVERYTHING Stefan has done for you and Elena? THIS is how you repay him? Get with his gf while he’s off with Klaus? WOW. Damon’s like “why are you mad I love Elena it’s your fault blah blah blah” like WTF? THIS IS YOUR BROTHER’S FUCKING GIRLFRIEND AND YOU DO THIS TO HIM? I DONT CARE THAT YOU HAVE FEELINGS FOR ELENA. DONT DO THIS TO HIM. The worst part is that Stefan keeps caring about Elena and Damon and keeps saving them, when he doesn’t turn on his humanity because he doesn’t want to feel the pain that Damon and Elena have caused them. THEYRE NOT EVEN OWNING UP TO IT OR REGRETTING HURTING STEFAN.

Damon is NOT the better man. Stefan suffered SO MUCH for his ass and what has he done to repay him so far? Treat him like SHIT. This is your BROTHER who’s tried to hard. And Damon makes fun of him for not wanting to be a ripper knowing what he went through. This is not okay.

[galvanizedfriend]

ENZOOOO 🥺

-your shadow self

HELLO, MY SHADOW SELF ✨🤜🤛 Love to see you here! ❤️

First impression

- I wasn't that interested on Enzo when he first shows up as Damon's buddie? I don't know, it probably had to do with that whole Augustine plot, which i hated. So boring. And then that whole thing about him being in love with Mama Salvatore was just blergh. So not a great first impression tbh, I thought he was just there to fill the British accent quota left by the originals.

Impression now

- Still not a favorite tbh. 🤣 I think Enzo peaked for a while there when he started going rogue and had that hate to buddies thing with Caroline, which was probably my favorite Enzo part. But then he joins Damon with the sirens and all that crap, blargh. I didn't really watch much of the show around that time tbh, I was bored by everything and Enzo was just one of those things.

Favorite moment

- The whole Carenzo phase was the part where I really liked Enzo. He was his most charming and charismatic in those days, and I really loved him with Caroline. Was SO ready to board the SS Carenzo, but alas. :(

Idea for a story

- Involving Enzo lol That's tough. I don't usually include him in fics. I'm trying to think if I have him in any of my wips, but i'm not sure... I think the most I've used him was as Caroline's BFF in The Sound of Starbucks™.

Unpopular opinion

- Hated Bonenzo. It came out of nowhere and they had no chemistry. It was literally one day 'TA-DAM, THEY LOVE EACH OTHER!' All of their development and proximity happened through flashbacks. But I was still angry when they killed him at the end because wtf? They needed me to hate Stefan MORE at that point? Can't Bonnie catch a break and just be happy for once? Jesus.

Favorite relationship

- ✨Caroline✨

Favorite headcanon

- Enzo and Caroline ending up in Nola during that roadtrip of theirs. Can you imagine what Klaus would be like when he met Caroline's new *friend*? LOL And Enzo obviously about him from Damon, he would be all 'So that's your type, huh?' Oh man, that would've been awesome. SIGH.

Thanks for the ask, friend! ✨ Hope you have a great week!

The highlights of Season 5 Stelena 5x04 & 5x18, JealousElena, Damon dying, Silas telling Elena to turn off her phone (lmao don't ask, I've just always really liked that particular moment) Bonnie being beautiful and some good Beremy angst, some interesting Steferine content, Enzo's former love thinking Damon's ugly, Stefan doing that jump punch thing to Enzo, Forwood had some good moments at the start of the season. That's all anyone needs to know of Season 5 because wtf else even happened?

I, too, liked turn off the phone. It’s slightly seductive.
