Damon after “burning” Elena

When I thought he couldn’t get any worse… he actually did. There’s literally no good in him and he acts like an absolute child. He has killed so many innocent people just because he acts out, while Elena values human life and does everything to protect them. I’m so mad the writers did this because he did become better and better and now… back to 0.

Do you think Nina Dobrev's exit is made clear to the audience?

Do you think the S6 finale effectively keeps people who don't know that Nina leaves in the loop that it is her final episode? I don't think it does to be honest, I think a lot of people who finish that episode could be left with the impression she'll be fixed in S7 and come back. Especially when the final scene is a time skip.

3rd rewatch depression

Just finished for the 3rd time. Feels like the first because I had pretty much forgotten everything that mattered. I'm so depressed and I can just start crying if I let it sink in for more than a moment. Knowing it's all fiction and fantasy doesn't help anything. Just amplifies the fact that I know I'll never have a real passionate love because none of that is real. Back to my emotionally abusive marriage going on year 11. I'll never get out. And even if I do I'll probably be old and never have any real loyalty or respect from someone in any way that any of these fake characters have for each other. Great I'm crying again. I'm a passionate person and I would die for the people I love and I'm super forgiving and none of it matters if I don't have a single person in the world to feel that way about me. I'm made for a fantasy world that will never exist. I feel so empty. I will never have a Stefan or Damon or Matt Donovan or anyone with a real heart. I'll never have a Bonnie or a Caroline friend either. Wish I could stop crying. I know this feeling will end once I forget about it as time goes on. It's after TV universe depression I guess. I feel hopeless though which is kind of ironic in its own way. I've watched TO and Legacies but that was a few years ago. Guess I'll just force myself into TO again to keep my brain in fantasy world. My mind is happier pretending I'm in that world.

Stefan and Valerie s6

I’m not a new fan so you can all spoil if you’d like, but what the fuck is Stefan’s deal? I haven’t watched the last 2 seasons in years (I always stop at s6 lmao) and I forgot how weird the whole Caroline-Stefan-Valerie dynamic was. I’m not sure why everyone made Caroline feel weird for being insecure as if Stefan doesn’t look tortured every time someone mentions Valerie. Even before he knew she had been pregnant, he was so weird and avoidant. It’s like he’s trying every possible way to avoid having to interact with Valerie even when it might benefit Caroline, for example he’d rather torture Nora and Mary Louise into siphoning Caroline’s vervain-skin rather than just confronting Valeria about it. I also hate how every time Caroline brings up how weird he’s being, he just shuts her down and gaslights her into thinking she’s being dramatic. Thoughts?

Logan Fell

This is such a minuscule thing but I’ve always wondered, when Logan turned, why couldn’t he get into his house? He was angry at Damon because he couldn’t get into his house so he lived out of a warehouse and all that but if he was dead he should’ve been able to get in?

Unless he wasn’t the sole owner, like he was renting or something? Or did the writers/whoever just decide to make it possible to kill the human residents to come into the house later?

First time watching the show beginning to end. My thoughts.

So when TVD first came out I saw the first season and never saw the rest because I was starting university and didn't have cable back then. I finally started to rewatch from Season 1 and I'm on Season 7 now.

What I find most fascinating is how repetitive the plotlines are over the years yet they managed to put anew twist on it everytime that kept me wanting to watch.

And I know the show is called vampire diaries but I felt : a) they turned Elena into a vampire too soon

b) they failed to show us vampires having fun without turning humanity off (I mean how are they able to just switch it on and off its a bit ridiculous after the first couple times!)

c) after Elena is in a coma, this show loses the glue that held it together. They turn Bonnie into the problem (Elena can only be alive when Bonnie dies? Man Julie Plec really hated Kat and black people didn't she? Not to mention her making the heretic Beaux have ZERO speaking lines as a black man....)

d) Caroline and Stefan?!?!?! That should NEVER have been a thing... I'm disgusted😭 they should have just been friends. Stefan and Elena are still my fave couple of the show 🤷🏽‍♀️

e) Klaus and the originals, Tyler, Jeremy I missed their presence after season 5. We needed them to be more central. They kill off Jeremy and bring him back just to make him do nothing all over again.

f) they never should have evacuated the town... I'm assuming budget cuts are why they couldn't have so many extras but it took away from the small town feel that I enjoyed a lot.

g) their college years deserved way more screen time and bonnie deserved to be there with them. I missed the fun school scenes.

I am now on episode 14 of season 7 happy to see Klaus again but these three years from now flashbacks seem pointless... I hope there's a good takeaway from all that...

What do you think of my assessment so far?

Let's talk about bamon storyline aka in the prison world

So, for start I think the ongoing relationship between damon and bonnie could expand a little bit after the mind wiped of elena memory of stefan, maybe even make elena jalous of their healthy relationship with damon 🤔 and focusing on fixing other issues like stefan and damon relationship so they can stop fighting about crybaby elena everytime elena experience a meltdown, since the two latest episode is unwatchable for me, when I try to enjoy my bamon scene the fucking writer include elena in their discussion 🤬🤬 which make really pissed and want to shoot julie plec on her forhead with a gun 🔫 , like seriously are we don't know that bonnie sacrificed herself many times for elena sake, give us a break. Anyway even if the bitch julie plec didn't even give bonnie a happy ending 😒. I will always be my favourite hero and also damon my favourite anti-hero two of my favourite character in the show and I will always ships them 🩵🩵

Bamon always and forever 🩵 ♥️ my favourite selfless characters in the show

What if TVD was cancelled after Season 1?

After seeing all of Julie Plec's shows since Legacies get axed, especially Vampire Academy and Girls on the Bus with only 1 season, made me wonder. What if TVD got canceled after S1? No Katherine reeking havoc nor her backstory developed, no Vampire Caroline, No Werewolf Tyler, no Elijah or Klaus, No Beremy getting together, no Bonnie meeting her cousin.

How you would have felt or speculated on what S2 would of been had we not gotten it?

Help me decide a birthday present

My friend (15F) is a huge fan of this show and I (15M) want to give her a birthday present, something like a jewelry from the show? I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I also haven't watched this show at all, she says she likes "Damon" a lot, is there anything that I can give her that she'll like a lot? Something like a bracelet or ring or a necklace?

Thanks!!

My daughter is tvd fan

So I am a middle aged man who doesn't watch TVD. My daughter is 12 and watches it and comes to talk to me about klaus and maxwell and
Elena and all the characters. I play along like I have any clue what she is talking about.

What piece of interesting TVD story or info or lore can I mention that will surprise her if I just drop it into conversation?

Immortals

Would a human that took the Immortality serum just be a normal immortal or would they be psychic too?

Doesn't the fact Silas was a witch mean he became a psychic?

I don't understand it really but that's what I took from it.

New Originals

Anyone know of a good fanfic about the 1000 years after the original vamps were made.

I'm talking about someone else using or creating a vampire spell, or immortality spell, and creating their own vampire line.

It was 1,000 years and noone else managed it??

Why do tvd vampires whine about being vampires so much?

It's so annoying.

Like dude, you can live forever, control people's mind, you are fast and strong, you never get sick, you can even go outside during day if you have a daylight ring, you have the coolest vampire face, you can even choose not to feel a single thing by turning off your humanity.

And you whine because.....you have to drink blood? Gtfoh

And if you want a baby just adopt one and stop whining.

They literally have the easiest lives out of all the other vampires in other shows and they are so ungrateful.

I feel like Damon could’ve taken Caroline from Stefan tbh

Anyone else thought of this? It was pretty much inevitable that Damon would’ve taken Elena from Stefan due to his charm and physical appearance. I think if he played the long game like he did in S1-3 he could’ve taken Caroline. We know Caroline has a dark side due to Klaroline and Damon could’ve used that to his advantage. Stefan and Damon are objectively attractive but Damon has that bad boy that isn’t so bad after all vibe to him that just makes most people view him as the more attractive brother.

Matthew Davis

Has anyone heard about the weird creepy stories about Matthew Davis on TVD set? I’ve never heard the girls publicly speak on it, but see so many posts about he was creepy towards several girls, even starting a fan fiction about his character (Alaric) and Elena getting together? Is this just rumor or?

A Realization I should have been had!

BIG SPOILERS!!!! ALL THREE SHOWS!!!

I'm at work but like always, I'm living in my imagination. I don't know if this was discussed already, but I need to type it somewhere, so forgive me if this is a repeat.

Malivore existence just broke TVD a little for me. Now, all this is from memory, so forgive me if I'm incorrect about anything, and please correct me.

To create Malivore it took a witch, a vampire, and a werewolf. If not to create it, they had to be present. So before vampire existed, everything in the third spin-off existed.

Which to me means dragons, tree nymphs, gargoyles, and so many other things existed at the same time as Silas, Cade, and pretty much any big bad before the originals. This includes The mikaelsons auntie and the hollow.

  1. This blows my mind because they had to interact with these supernatural beings.
  2. There is no way Cade should have been burned for his abilities cause it shouldn't have been a huge deal.
  3. Immortal shouldn't have been a big issue to witches after what silas ex-fiance (can't spell the name and not going to try) created.

Obviously, the spinoff was made after the other stories were told, but I'm just shocked how I never thought or seen anyone else bring this up.

As always, I love the tvd universe. This won't change that, but it seriously blows my mind the possible plotholes that exist because of this, lol.

Oh wait

  1. I mean werewolves were assumed as the biggest threat before the vampires existed. But other things should have still existed at that time before vampirese were created. So, the originals could have easily wanted power for another reason.

I know everyone forgot about all of this, and that's cool. How did Cade forget? Pretty sure the dead before vampire should remember. Sorry, I know the answer is the show is a spinoff and wasn't planned till after. I'm having fun. XD

Witches & werewolves

Is it canonically possible for a person with the werewolf gene who hasn’t triggered it to be a witch? I know witches are servants of nature, but I can’t remember if the whole “werewolves are cursed” thing was a lie told by Klaus and Elijah in S2 to get people looking for the moonstone or if it was real. I also can’t remember if the show ever explicitly says a werewolf can’t also be a witch.
