Tyler’s first transformation was insane

I’m at season 2 episode 15 and Tyler’s first full moon transformation was wild. Dude is in insane pain, bones cracking, screaming everywhere, and Caroline trying to keep him under control.

Honestly, I didn’t expect this to be so intense. Tyler just went from “side character” to someone who can actually hold his own in this messed-up Mystic Falls world. The werewolf curse is brutal.

S1 Damon was peak💔

Don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion in anyway but I’m just voicing some thoughts here. As the title suggests s1 Damon was peak. I enjoy anti hero’s a lottt and Damon embodies that perfectly in the first season. Beyond that…

Yeah I don’t think so.

My biggest problem with him was that he’s a bad boy yes we know that…so why are we trying to change that? Clearly we know that he’s not capable of change and he SHOULDN’T. He thrives like that and I like it. Good for him. It’s also a reason why I don’t think Elena (or even Bonnie) is the best fit for him. Those three are complete opposites and Elena never accepted him as he was. She was trying to mold him into her own dream man because she saw the good in him but that’s not what he needs.

For almost two centuries he’s spent feeling inferior and being a second choice. First he felt like that with his parents, and then with Katherine and lastly with Elena. It is clear to me what that man needs (other than a therapist) is acceptance. He needs someone to match his freak and lowkey I wouldn’t mind him being Katherine (another character they did dirty lmao). Granted that Katherine also stops trying to be afraid to love/feel emotions bc Kath in the show, canonically, would run like hell.

IF the “He can be fixed” trope is a must then it should be with someone that holds him accountable, calls him out on his bullshit and most of all doesn’t abandon him bc those deep rooted abandonment issues are the biggest reason he lashes out. Leave them before they can leave you.

Edit:
Peak moments include: His talk with Jeremy when he tells him that Anna is dead (he was so sincere ugh, he prob saw Jer as a second Stef). Him with Alaric when they raid Henry’s apartment. Him helping Elena save Stefan and he held her face in the rain scene (Delena hater until the day I die, but them in s1 was the only time they made sense. I give credit when credit is due.).

Mourning the Damon I could have had, but that’s why I write fanfic, have a good day🫡

Which of these character introductions were your favorite?

They fumbled not keeping Damon as a villain until the second half of s2

It makes no sense that Damon just quickly loses feelings for Katherine. It also makes no sense that Katherine would throwaway Damon being obsessed with her so easily. It makes more sense for her to use him until mid season 2 when her whole plan unravels and then Damon finally realizes who she truly is. This can break him and then we can start him as an anti-hero. They incorporated into the gang too quickly imo.

Edit: guys episode 1 of season 2 would not be the same, Katherine would have lied to damon about her feelings.

Stefan makes Caroline’s Grief Worse

Rewatching season 6 and I have so many bones to pick with Stefan for basically fucking it up with Caroline at every point possible, but especially right after her mom dies.

First of all at the funeral, this is right after their first kiss, and Stefan decides now of all times is the time to be taking advice from Damon? SMH. So he decides to take Damon’s crappy little advice and not give Caroline the reassurance she’s looking for about his feelings for her, when it literally all could’ve just been as easy as just being there for her that day but letting her know he wanted to go slow. Did he really need to be The Good Guy™️ sooo badly that he really thought that in that moment leading her on would’ve been a greater sin than making her believe he didn’t care? Whatever Stefan.

THEN, when the fallout of her grief happens and she turns her humanity switch, she draws very clear boundaries about wanting to be left alone, and how she not only needs this time to escape her grief, but also deserves it providing she stays in line and doesn’t become destructive. Even Elena sees how she’s behaving herself and says to Stefan, “I don’t know, she seems like she’s got it under control….”, but Stefan won’t hear it. Again, he is so obsessed with making himself the good guy, and redeeming himself of the guilt of being the cause of her flip, that he just can’t leave it alone and crosses Caroline’s boundaries. He was warned by Elena TWICE that they shouldn’t meddle, but he convinces her to do it his way not once but twice, because ONCE AGAIN he thinks his guilt is more important than allowing Caroline to have what she needs.

LEADING US TO, he lures her to and traps her in a vampire proofed B&B to get her to turn it back, setting himself up as an inside mole pretending to be on her side. In order to keep his cover, this man will allow her to burn and destroy her ONE AND ONLY VERY LAST MESSAGE FROM HER DEAD MOTHER, but draws the line at being intimate with her one more time because oh that would truly be an affront. Once again for the people in the back: this man who has already been sleeping with her, is willing to irrevocably destroy her last chance to read her mothers last words to her in order to maintain his cover, but does blow his cover out of some pathological need to maintain his image as the good guy when she tries to be intimate with him again as they already had been for days. Like now is not the time to be all holier than thou Stefan, you just let her burn her moms letter in order to commit to the bit, but convincingly making out with your almost gf is crossing the line? Pathetic.

Honestly i’m just so tired of him trying so hard to be the good guy he ends up screwing over everyone else in the process. Even humanity-off Stefan is just obsessed with trying to teach everyone else some kind of lesson…Pisses me off.

I actually like Katherine as a character!

Honestly let's be real here... yes she did some terrible things but they really weren't much worse than what almost every character in the show has also done including the main characters that is most people's favorites. Yes, she did manipulative and selfish things to get what she needed but so did the "good" characters and yes they were on the same level of bad things!!! Damon may be far worse as far as humanity and manipulation goes than her. But yeah I feel like she's an easy character to hate because the show tells you to and doesn't really get her props she's kind of a cool chick to me deep down!!

Damon’s bourbon obsession-symbolism or just vibes?

Rewatching season 3 and Damon’s constant bourbon sipping, especially during those tense Salvatore kitchen scenes, has me wondering-is it just his bad-boy vibe or does it symbolize something deeper, like masking his pain? What’s your take on Damon’s bourbon habit?
