A King With No Name

Alaric’s age makes no sense.

Still bitter that we spent 3 episodes or so pushing the idea of Hayley and Elijah having ‘another dance’ or ‘meeting in another lifetime’, and then they don’t even show us that.

Okay, I have thoughts about the finale

I do love that Elena found peace with her family and obviously, I’ve stated before that I love that Damon and Stefan find peace together, but is this like a Supernatural situation? Like, can multiple people share peace/heaven?  Or are Elena and Damon separated forever? Or is “peace” just like regular life but peaceful?

And while the last 15 minutes did make me emotional, because I am weak, there was one moment in particular that had be bawling. And that’s Jo watching over her kids.

I have no idea if I just never watched most of this final season or if I just blocked it out but I remember none of this.

I find it absolutely hilarious that every minor or guest female character on this show after Nina left looks like they are related to her in some way.

I think so many things were just a mistake in TVD’s final season.

I don’t dislike Rayna.

I dislike every single bit of the Rayna storyline.

The way it makes the other characters act and almost regress. How it separates Caroline and Stefan for NO REASON. How she can’t do anything else but chase them, which makes me sad for her. How POINTLESS so much of it is. How the scar transfer bit is trying to make it seem like Damon is a bad person for not taking the scar but its so fucking stupid that I feel nothing but irritation for it.

That isn’t to say that Damon dessicating until Elena wakes up isn’t a shitty thing, but I wish it had come about through any other storyline but this one.

Because ONCE AGAIN they are trying to push the narrative that Stefan is happier without Damon when this is a fact we have shown is NOT TRUE, LITERALLY MULTIPLE TIMES.

And Damon taking the scar would do what? Allow Stefan a moment to breathe? Okay. but then Damon is on the hook and will die when Rayna does.

THIS STORYLINE IS SO FUCKING DUMB.

I’m so tired.

Also, I’m past this point now, but I dislike the Lily stuff this season.

We spent every moment last season with her, learning how she just didn’t give a shit about her sons and only cared for her heretics.

And while I don’t hate the background info about her abusive relationship with her husband and how that complicated her relationship with her sons, I wasn’t fond of the almost 180 the show took with her in this season. She was cruel last season. I don’t know, my feelings on her are complicated because I found her ‘redemption’ oddly rushed just to kill her off.

But you know, shout out to Caroline in that one scene.

She is probably one of the people who dislikes Damon the most (with good reason, most of the time) and yet, when Stefan tells her this bullshit, she seems genuinely confused that he believes that.

SAME.

The storyline about the pheonix stone telling Stefan that he will never be happy until Damon is out of his life for good is one of the top 5 dumbest things in season 7 and its for one main reason.

We literally spent the first half of season 6 exploring why Stefan can’t function when Damon is dead. He shut down, cut off everyone he cared about, was getting into brutal fights with strangers, wasn’t himself.

But literally a season later and now, he can’t live with Damon in his life because he brings him down????

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

I always thought the chose to use such a young actor for Stefan in the flashbacks in the episode of Liz’s funeral was stupid, but...

Damon was 25 when he died?? I always thought he was only a couple years older than Stefan, maybe 3 or 4. Not 8! So it makes more sense.

I will never be over the fact that Liz was having a heart attack in the same amount of time that it took Kai to kidnap Jo, try to merge with her, and then merge with Luke, before a doctor came to help her.

What kind of hospital is this???

Jenna died a vampire and would have therefore been on the Other Side.

Did she find peace? Or did she blink out of existence? Or did the everyone just conveniently forget this?

You know what, one more post.

It makes no sense that Bonnie doesn’t know Katherine isn’t really dead.

It is shown, in the same episode that Katherine puts herself into Elena, that Bonnie would see her as she dies. She has to pass through Bonnie to get to the other side. But when she really does “die” just a little while later, this obviously would not have occurred since her spirit is in Elena.

Wouldn’t Bonnie find that suspicious as hell? Or is she conveniently absent from the story in the next episode so that glaring plot hole won’t be as noticeable?

2 thoughts, completely different, but don’t wanna make two posts.

1. While I can understand the appeal of Caroline and Klaus as a ship, I find it absolutely ridiculous that Caroline would feel anything for him. (Or at the very least, that she would ever admit or act on anything). Especially since one minute she’s telling Elena all the reasons she shouldn’t date Damon and the next, she’s having sex with Klaus in the woods. It’s baffling and makes no sense.

This show, far too often, bends over backwards to ruin character development just to create more conflict and it’s exhausting.

How many times must we hear ‘her feelings might not be real’?? How many times must it be stated that the sire bond does not create feelings, it enhances the ones that were there???

WHY IS THIS STORYLINE STILL HAPPENING?
