Who else thinks certain characters had way more potential than the show gave them?

I’ve been rewatching The Vampire Diaries again and I keep thinking about some characters who could’ve had way more depth than what we actually saw. There are so many moments where a storyline felt like it could go somewhere huge, but then it just.. didn’t. I feel like the show gave certain characters a lot of setup but never really followed through, which is kinda frustrating as a fan. Personally, I always thought Bonnie Bennett had the potential for way more complicated arcs, and it would’ve been amazing to explore that side of her. Who do you think was most underused in the show, and what would you have loved to see happen with them?

Why are we acting like the Salvatores ruined Elena’s life?

She was literally a doppleganger. Whether or not they were around, her life would have been full of horror. But instead, would’ve been a slave to Klaus and Katherine and the gypsies or straight up killed with all her friends and family much sooner than what happened. Atleast this way they also killed a bunch of bad guys instead of letting them thrive. I hate when the show writes in that they ruined her/their lives. SHE WAS SUPERNATURAL FROM THE START hello.

If you could play any TVD or TO character, who would it be and why? Or....

Or who’s the one character you’d never want to play?

Stelena V Delena

I’m not trying to incite a war between fan bases but I genuinely wanted to know if anyone other than young teenage girls wanted Damon and Elena together.

For me, the true romance of the show was between Stefan and Elena. Watching them was akin to drinking a nice hot chocolate on a cold winters night. We also got to see the best of Damon, in my opinion, as the third wheel of the triangle. Damon and Elena’s friendship was elite.

brain development

I believe that when they become vampires, just as they do not age, they do not have any more brain development, in such a way that they do not have development of the frontal lobe and then that would explain many things.

WHAT IF Stefan didn’t enter Elena life?

been seeing a lot of fanfic about Bonnie/damon

I wonder what Elena would’ve said if Damon told her he and Bonnie had a relationship/life together while she was asleep . Wonder if she’d be upset /feel betrayed by Bonnie or be happy that Damon lived while she was gone even if it was with her best friend and understood him not waiting for her to wake up to live

"Nina Dobrev revealed that despite playing four characters, she wasn’t paid the same as Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder. She was only 19 and performed all roles flawlessly. This was completely unfair. What do you think about this?

I don't understand the hate on Matt.

I'm already in season 8 and it seems to me that the hatred of Matt is absurd, he is the only human who remains at risk of dying and that despite having returned from death a couple of times thanks to the ring, it is known that his fragility puts him at risk and he is hurt by the fragility of the other humans in the town, who die every day.
All the others who are already vampires or witches, even though they may have humanity, do not feel real pain for each innocent death, they are just another number.
It seems barely logical to me that he feels anger towards his friends and it seems brave to me that he still remains loyal to them.
